Tang Yu was extremely shocked: "Miss, don't you know that the Fu family embezzled disaster relief funds and killed people? His Majesty confiscated the Fu family's property and imprisoned everyone in the Fu family, including Fu Yurou.
It is said that Prince Mo came to the palace to ask for an audience with His Majesty, which angered His Majesty. It is unknown what Concubine Xuan said to Prince Mo, and that's why Prince Mo came back.
However, several days have passed and there is still no news from the Fu family. Prince Mo is very anxious. He has visited the homes of several ministers in the past few days and even went to the Prime Minister's Mansion last night.
I really didn't expect that a bastard like King Mo would actually beg for help for Fu Yurou, but Fu Yurou actually framed the young lady, she deserved it."
Ye Xingchen froze. She didn't expect that something happened to the Fu family. The first person she thought of was the Regent.
He must have been angry that Fu Yurou was plotting against him, so he handed the evidence to the emperor.
After all, the Fu family is considered to be the relative of Prince Mo. Apart from the Regent, there will be no one else who dares to disregard Prince Mo's status and attack the Fu family.
Ye Xingchen was deeply moved. He didn't expect that the Regent would take action against the Fu family for his sake.
"Is there anyone willing to help him?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"Early this morning, the prime minister entered the palace, but the other ministers did not move." Tang Feng replied.
"This shouldn't be the case. Prince Mo has used the Ye family's money to win over many people in the court over the years. Even if the Fu family's affairs are serious, it would not be that no one would take action." Ye Xingchen frowned.
"There is one more thing that young lady doesn't know. The prince has come to court. This prince has been weak and sickly since childhood. He has been eating soup and medicine all year round and is a very decadent person.
But later, somehow, the prince came to his senses and actually attended the court. Moreover, the prince has been behaving very well recently, and the emperor is very satisfied with him.
Therefore, many ministers who previously supported Prince Mo began to change sides. After all, the prince was born by the queen, so he was the legitimate heir. "Tang Feng explained.
Ye Xingchen frowned. The storyline said that the Crown Prince of Cangyue Kingdom was a sickly person. Everyone thought that the Crown Prince was unwell, but in fact, he was poisoned by Concubine Xuan.
After all, the crown prince was a stumbling block on King Xuan's path to the throne, and how could Concubine Xuan allow the crown prince to compete with her own son for the throne?
The prince had been poisoned for many years, and the poison had already entered his internal organs and bone marrow, and he finally died on a snowy night.
It is said that after his death, the queen was so sad that she fell ill and was depressed all day long. She died of illness soon after.
"Sister, will King Mo do anything bad to you?" Ye Lao San asked worriedly.
"No, he can't care about me. Now he just wants to rescue Fu Yurou." Ye Xingchen replied.
"Fu Yurou almost killed you. If we let him out like this, wouldn't it be lawless?" Ye Lao San said angrily.
"Who made us powerless? If our family also produced a high-ranking official, King Mo would definitely have some concerns." Ye Xingchen sighed deliberately.
She just wanted to tell this to Ye Lao San so as to arouse his ambition.
Ye Laosan's expression was indeed solemn and tense.
Ye Xingchen pretended not to see it: "Let's go, Third Brother, let's go back."
"good."
Here, Prince Mo returned to his mansion and overturned the entire desk in anger.
"Damn it, a mere prime minister dares to threaten me, how hateful!" Cang Tingchen said angrily.
"Your Highness, the Prime Minister agreed to save her by only marrying his daughter to you as your principal wife. This is actually the best outcome, otherwise the concubine will surely die!" The confidant Gu Jiu advised.
"I know this very well, but I am really infuriated that I am threatened into getting married like this." Cang Tingchen was filled with resentment.
"Jing Yan'er is Prime Minister Jing's only legitimate daughter. With the Prime Minister's help, the prince's plan will be twice as effective with half the effort." Gu Jiu advised.
"Forget it, as long as I can save Rou'er, I will endure it temporarily. Sooner or later, I will deal with Jingfeng." Cang Tingchen gritted his teeth.
"Your Highness is wise. When will we go to the Prime Minister's residence to propose marriage?" Gu Jiu asked.
"Send someone to prepare now. Everything should be done according to the standards for a queen. Once it's ready, just send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Cang Tingchen said irritably.
"yes."
Gu Jiu was very quick and prepared it in just three days, and then sent it to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When the Prime Minister saw that it was the betrothal gift sent by Prince Mo's personal guard, he was naturally happy: "Thank His Highness Prince Xuan on my behalf."
"Yes, my prince asked me to convey a message, hoping that the prime minister would not forget what he promised to the prince." Gu Jiu said seriously.
"Of course I will not forget that the day of King Xuan and my daughter's wedding is the day when the concubine will return." Prime Minister Jing said softly.
Gu Jiu frowned slightly. This old fox was afraid that the prince would change his mind, so he insisted on waiting until the wedding before he was willing to plead with His Majesty to release the person.
"In that case, I would like to thank the Prime Minister first. The prince has consulted the Imperial Observatory to calculate an auspicious date, and it is suitable for the wedding on the 16th of next month." Gu Jiu said.
"One month is a bit too short a time, but since King Xuan has chosen the date, let's set it on the sixteenth of next month," Prime Minister Jing replied.
"Then I'll take my leave first." Gu Jiu turned and left.
Jing Yan'er in the room was overjoyed when she heard that Prince Mo had sent a betrothal gift. She ran out immediately and said, "Daddy, I heard that Prince Mo has come to propose marriage. Where is he?"
"Prince Mo didn't come. He was brought here by his personal guard." Prime Minister Jing replied.
"Prince Mo must be arranging the wedding and is too busy to come." Jing Yan'er said to herself.
"Daughter, you must think it over carefully. Although the betrothal gift has been given, it is not too late if you want to regret it. Prince Mo is scheming and is not a good man." Prime Minister Jing advised.
"Dad, Prince Mo is ambitious and has aspirations, which is a good thing. If he sits on that position in the future, then his daughter will be the mother of the country. Isn't that good?" Jing Yan'er asked back.
"Since you have made up your mind, I will not say any more. Life is like drinking water, you know whether it is hot or cold. I just hope you can be happy." Prime Minister Jing sighed.
"Don't worry, Dad. I will be very happy." Jing Yan'er looked confident.
Looking at the betrothal gifts all over the yard, Jing Yaner suddenly thought of Ye Xingchen: "Taozi, come with me to the Ye family."
The maid Taozi froze: "Miss, what are you doing at the Ye family?"
"Of course, I'm going to tell Ye Xingchen that I'm already Prince Mo's Consort. Ask someone to prepare the carriage." Jing Yan'er said proudly.
"yes."
Ye family.
Tang Feng just came back from outside: "Miss, Prince Mo went to the Prime Minister's Mansion today to propose marriage. I heard that he and Jing Yan'er will get married in a month."
Ye Xingchen's expression was calm and indifferent: "It's just mutual use."
"That's right. Prince Mo is such a bastard. Whoever marries him will be unlucky. Fortunately, our young lady escaped early. I just don't know how long Jing Yaner can hold on this time." Tang Yu snorted with a curled lip.
"Who cares?"
A servant came in from outside the courtyard: "Hello, young lady. The eldest young lady of the Jing family wants to see you."
"What is she doing here? She definitely has no good intentions." Qingluo looked unhappy.
Ye Xingchen raised his eyebrows: "It's okay, let her in."
