Chapter 487: Marry or Not
"I was also careless."
Shen Xuan sighed. Not only did Liuhuo and the others not expect it, he himself did not expect it either, otherwise he would not have eaten those two mouthfuls of white jade melon soup.
Fortunately, we have Fu Zhaoning.
Shen Xuan thought of Shen Wan's appearance and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
I don’t know what kind of personality Shen Qiao has now.
Is it a good thing or a bad thing for Fu Zhaoning to find Fu Jinchen and Shen Qiao?
If they are not in line now, or have done something shady, wouldn't it be putting Fu Zhaoning in shackles if we bring them back?
Shen Xuan thought for a moment and said solemnly, "After we find Fu Lin, let our people not show up yet. Let's observe them for a few days to see how they behave and report back."
"yes."
Fu Zhaoning went to Jingqiuyuan.
The other members of the Shen family also heard about what happened tonight. Whether they will come to investigate and how they will deal with it is up to Shen Xuan.
Fu Zhaoning only told Baihu and the others that the old lady's room would be occupied by her tonight and no one was allowed to approach.
Eleven Thirteen and the others also woke up, and as soon as they woke up they came to find Fu Zhaoning.
With them guarding him, Fu Zhaoning felt more at ease.
She just took blood samples from the old lady and gave her intravenous drips and injections.
Even Mr. Shen was not allowed to come in.
Many people in the Shen family made a lot of noise that night, and some even tried their best to find out what Shen Wan and her daughter had done and why they were sent away overnight.
But no one knew where they were sent.
From that night on, Shen Xuan had made up his mind to clean up the Shen family.
It has been two months since Fu Zhaoning left.
In Zhaoguo, the capital, snow began to fall.
Winter has arrived again, and Princess Nanci, who had been entertaining guests and friends, finally became much quieter after the snow fell.
She has almost recognized all the sons of powerful and wealthy people in the capital. The emperor and the envoys from Nanci are urging her to find someone as soon as possible.
She came here to get married!
The woman has not been found, the marriage cannot be arranged, and these envoys are unable to complete their mission and return to Nanci.
The people in Southern China would not understand what happened.
Zhaoguo would also be unhappy because a lot of people are busy with these matters for Princess Nanci, and people and money are being lost.
The people in the capital city gradually became uneasy, and those who wanted the marriage and those who didn't wanted to marry were all making small moves in secret.
If Princess Nanci delays any further, there's no telling how many times their minds will change. By that time, the people of Zhao State will start fighting among themselves, and that's not what the Emperor wants to see.
"Lord An, which young man does the Princess of Nanci have her eyes on?"
The emperor has summoned An Nian to the palace for questioning for the Nth time.
"Your Majesty, the Princess of Nanci has not yet been chosen."
"I don't want to hear this!" the emperor was furious.
Last time, the time before, and the time before, An Nian gave the same answer!
"Your Majesty, I can't influence the princess's heart." An Nian said helplessly.
"Aren't you very cunning? I told you last time that you should have a good talk with her about who is that person, his/her strengths, and the benefits of marrying him/her. Use your eloquent tongue to make this marriage happen!" said the emperor angrily.
During this period of time, An Nian has been staying with Princess Nanci. He has almost taught Princess Nanci and the envoys and maids around her the Zhao language. How come he hasn't been able to find a marriage for her yet?
Doesn’t Princess Nanci trust An Nian very much?
"Your Majesty, I am a real man."
An Nian argued seriously.
How could he be so cunning? How could he be so eloquent?
"I am a civil servant, not a matchmaker. How can I arrange a marriage?" An Nian spread his hands.
This is like a dead pig that is not afraid of heat!
The emperor got angry when he saw him like this.
"Do you think I will believe it? Someone told me that you, boy," the emperor stretched out his hand and tapped An Nian, saying, "you also have your own little calculations in your mind. You want Princess Nanci to fall in love with you and marry you, Censor An, right?"
An Nian has been with Princess Nanci for so long, so of course there are a lot of speculations like this.
They all said that Princess Nanci actually had her eyes on quite a few young men, but each one she chose was rejected by An Nian. He must have secretly spoken ill of that man to Princess Nanci and discouraged her from pursuing him.
So after such a long time, the princess still hadn't chosen anyone.
An Nian's plan was to marry the princess himself.
Seeing Princess Nanci's wealth, An Nian was tempted. After all, the An family had been a family of upright people for generations and their financial resources were not that great.
Others said that An Nian was hit hard by An Qing’s incident last year. He didn’t have such a materialistic streak before, but now he feels that people still need to be rich and powerful.
"Your Majesty, I did not mean that. Otherwise, I would have asked Your Majesty long ago if I could——"
"Of course not!"
Before he could finish his words, the emperor interrupted him immediately.
"It's not appropriate for Princess Nanci to marry you. You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible!"
The emperor rejected it without a second thought.
He never thought of letting Princess Nanci marry An Nian.
Several generations of censors from the An family had always been against the emperor. They would often find fault with him and often made him angry to death in the court.
Letting An Nian marry Princess Nanci would not benefit Zhao State or him at all.
Moreover, he didn't trust An Nian very much. An Nian had a good relationship with Xiao Lanyuan, and his sister had been saved by Fu Zhaoning. It was very likely that the An family had already sided with Xiao Lanyuan.
If Princess Nanci married him, wouldn't that mean she would become a great help to Xiao Lanyuan?
So, this won't work.
It's OK if Princess Nanci has taken a fancy to Xiao Lanyuan! If she marries Xiao Lanyuan directly, they can still stir up trouble and even cause a big uproar in Prince Jun's Mansion.
With Fu Zhaoning in the middle, it is impossible for them to live in harmony.
But it’s not possible to settle down.
The An family has traditions, monogamy, and both husband and wife are very loyal. This family tradition is too clear to take any action.
"So, I also know that this is impossible, so of course I won't have this idea. Someone must be dissatisfied with my ability to speak Southern Porcelain, so they want to throw dirty water on me. I feel wronged."
An Nian spoke the aggrieved words expressionlessly.
What a grievance! The emperor wanted to grab the inkstone and throw it at him when he saw his rigid expression.
"What does Princess Nanci think? Hasn't she been to Prince Jun's mansion before? Does she like Prince Jun?"
"The princess didn't say anything."
An Nian thought of what Princess Nanci said yesterday, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
While the Emperor was thinking of ways to marry Princess Nanci into Prince Jun's Mansion, Xiao Lanyuan was looking at the intelligence he had just received in the study room of Jianjia Courtyard of Prince Jun's Mansion.
The ancient country of Nanci is sending us a kind of deep-sea medicinal mud, which is very effective for treating bones that have been damaged for many years and has a very powerful scar removal effect.
Qing Yi also read the information and guessed, "Prince, will Princess Nanci use this medicine to negotiate with you?"
