Chapter 709 Dancing Princess vs. East Factory Admiral 69
Liang Cairen sighed, "I wonder whose card His Majesty will turn over first after he finishes his busy schedule."
Concubine Liang took a sip of tea and said, "Of course it's Sister Shu. However, there are so many people in the harem, so I have to dismiss a few of them."
Especially for the concubines whose families are on the side of Chu Tuo, the lightest punishment would be to be expelled from the palace, and the worst punishment would be to reward them with a white silk.
Fortunately, the families of the sisters are all neutral parties, and many of them support Shen Lang. For the sake of the family, Shen Lang will definitely treat them well.
The conversation between Chen Lang and Quan Jiu ended here. Quan Jiu listened calmly, then turned and left.
Shen San looked puzzled: “My lady, are you leaving now?”
Quan Jiu: "How about staying and having a cup of tea?"
Shen San's face was ugly and indignant: "What they said was so unpleasant, don't you plan to vent your anger? His Majesty loves you so much, he will definitely stand up for you."
"There's no need to rush now."
Quan Jiu really didn't take these women seriously.
"There's been a major reshuffle in the court these past two days. All the ministers who had anything to do with Chu Tuo have been thrown into jail. They can sit there and drink tea and admire flowers without any worries. Which faction do you think the forces behind them are on?"
Shen San was not stupid, so he naturally knew all this, but Quan Jiu and Shen Lang were the only two people he respected and admired. He couldn't swallow the anger that the two of them were being talked about at the same time.
Shen San calmed down and looked at Quan Jiu with even more admiration.
The reason why he thought of these things was because he was familiar with the court and the harem, and he knew exactly which power was behind each concubine.
But Quan Jiu is different. She knows nothing about the women in the harem. Even when being insulted, she can still calmly infer the forces behind the concubines from their words. This kind of courage is not something that ordinary people can have.
Shen San said sincerely: “My Lady, you are so considerate of His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely be very happy when he knows it.”
Quan Jiu heard his tone and saw his little thoughts: "Don't tell on me."
She wasn't doing this entirely for Chen Lang. After Chen Lang found out about this, he was angry outwardly and felt guilty inwardly, so he had to make time to coax her. But the problem was, she was really not angry and didn't need to be coaxed.
By then it will be——
Shen Lang: "You are angry."
Quan Jiu: "I'm not angry."
Shen Lang: "No, you are really angry."
Quan Jiu (rolling his eyes): "I'm really not angry."
When Quan Jiu thought of this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Let's go back to the Yangxin Palace first."
………
Chen Lang has too many things to arrange.
First, he fabricated reasons for rebellion to appease the ministers and the people. Chu Tuo came to the throne in an illicit way, so he collected evidence that Chu Tuo had secretly poisoned the Meng family, and overthrew Chu Tuo in the name of revenge for the late emperor.
Furthermore, Changxi's identity as a princess of the previous dynasty was also a problem. As a princess of the previous dynasty, she disguised herself as a man, sneaked into the court to serve as an official, and almost became the queen of Chu Tuo. Many ministers in the court had complaints about her...
Finally, there was the trouble left behind by Chu Tuo. After Chu Tuo came to power, he had many confidants in the court. He could find an excuse to imprison ministers with obvious evidence of wrongdoing, but for those old foxes who refused to show their true colors, he could only take a long-term approach...
After finally finishing a day of reviewing, Chen Lang rubbed his swollen brows.
"Shen San."
Shen San came in from outside the door: “The subordinate is here.”
Shen Lang stood up: "Is she asleep?"
Shen San: “One stick of incense before, the lights in Yangxin Palace were still on, but I don’t know if the queen is asleep now.”
Chen Lang didn't ask any more questions. He stood up and walked towards the Yangxin Palace. It was already midnight and the lights were still on in the Yangxin Palace.
As soon as Chen Lang entered the room, he saw Quan Jiu lying on the table, writing with a pen in hand.
"Still asleep?"
He walked in and hugged Quan Jiu from behind. Seeing this, Shen San silently closed the door and retreated.
Shen Lang stared at what she wrote: "Are you writing a letter?"
Quan Jiu: "Well, I haven't had time to write to Naituanzi this month. I guess he's getting impatient."
Chen Lang looked at the various cheesy words in the letter, and the jealousy in his heart came back:
"You've never called me that."
Quan Jiu raised an eyebrow: "What? Baby?"
Shen Lang smiled, stood behind her, and continued to read the letter. After reading for a while, the smile on his face froze:
"You wrote a letter to Naituanzi, and also asked about Xuanyuan Qinglan?"
Quan Jiu stopped writing and looked back at him: "He is my patient, I have to explain a few things."
Shen Lang hummed: "I am also your patient."
Quan Jiu: "When did you become sick?"
Shen Lang stared at her without saying a word.
Quan Jiu: “…”
She was speechless.
"You are fine on your own, it's none of my business."
She didn't give him any medicine.
Shen Lang: "But without you, I will definitely not get better."
Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine, and she is his medicine.
Shen Lang sat down beside her and picked up his pen.
Quan Jiu: "What are you doing?"
Chen Lang: "I'm concerned about Xuanyuan Qinglan's well-being."
Quan Jiu: “!???”
What do you two grown men have to talk about?
Shen Lang actually picked up his pen and wrote a long string of words. Quan Jiu curiously leaned over and read aloud each word:
"The wedding date between me and Changxi is set for March 3rd, and I have specially invited the Northern Qi royal family to attend the ceremony..."
Quan Jiu: “…”
She raised her eyes and glanced at Chen Lang: "Hasn't the wedding night already been held?"
Wouldn’t he be tired of getting married again?
Shen Lang: "That time doesn't count."
He wanted to have a real wedding with her.
………
"Your Highness, there's a letter from Mengguo."
Xuanyuan Qinglan was sitting in the study, discussing court affairs with his confidant. When he heard that it was a letter from Meng Guo, he hurriedly stood up, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Without even buttoning his clothes, Naituanzi rushed into the study.
"Royal brother, I heard that there was a letter from Mengguo?"
Xuanyuan Qinglan had already opened the envelope and was reading it word by word.
"Um."
When his eyes fell on the wedding date, his face turned pale.
Seeing this, Naituanzi hurriedly took the letter and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Changxi and Alang?"
Xuanyuan Qinglan was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and shook her head: "No."
He stared blankly at the yard outside the window, his vision unfocused.
He has always been paying attention to Meng Guo's movements. He is not a stupid person. When he knew that Shen Shen was a girl, the image in his heart that he cared about day and night unconsciously overlapped with her.
When he knew that she was going to marry Chu Tuo, he was puzzled because she clearly had no feelings for Chu Tuo. Later, when the royal family of Meng Kingdom changed and Shen Lang came to power, he finally understood that the marriage was just a chess game between her and Shen Lang.
After just a few days of happiness, he received her invitation again.
After knowing that the person she was going to marry was Shen Lang, he knew that he had no chance.
Shen Lang was obviously different to her.
Naituanzi had already finished reading the letter and gave him a sympathetic and comforting look:
"Brother Huang, don't be sad. A broken heart is no big deal."
Xuanyuan Qinglan smiled bitterly: "What do you mean by heartbreak?"
He always comes up with new words.
Milk ball: "Just like you are now."
One-sided heartbreak.
