Ling Haoyue slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was the dim light and the stone wall.
"Yue'er, are you awake?"
This voice was not Qi Yan, Ling Haoyue hurriedly sat up, only to see Wen Mohan sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her with gentle eyes.
Ling Haoyue then remembered that Concubine Yun had taken Xiao Ningshu away, she chased her out, and then her eyes went dark, and when she opened her eyes again, she was already here.
"Where's Shu'er, how is my daughter?"
Concubine Yun seemed to be a little crazy like that, would she hurt Xiao Ningshu, Xiao Ningshu was born weaker than ordinary children, Ling Haoyue always carefully protected her and didn't let her suffer any more injuries.
Wen Mohan smiled warmly: "Don't worry, she's fine." โ
Ling Haoyue was suspicious, and looked around, there were stone walls all around, and there was no sunlight shining in, this was obviously a secret room.
"What do you want to do? Why are you locking me up?"
Wen Mohan reached out to touch her hair, but Ling Haoyue dodged back and avoided it. Wen Mohan's face stiffened slightly, and then returned to normal: "Yue'er, don't you know what I think about you?" I don't want to see you with others, I once saw you get married with my own eyes, and at that time I swore that one day I would keep you by my side." โ
Ling Haoyue was shocked, she had never known that Wen Mohan had such a deep obsession with her.
"Did you do the Queen Mother's business?"
Wen Mohan wanted to keep her by her side, at that time she had already married Nanqi, and she would not come back unless there was a special reason, and the Queen Mother happened to be the person she cared about the most.
"The Queen Mother is very old, and she is also dying, why do you care so much about Yue'er. โ
Ling Haoyue's face turned blue with anger: "Sure enough, you did it, why are you so ruthless, in order to force me back, you actually attacked the Queen Mother." โ
Her grandmother was actually by Wen Mohan, Ling Haoyue pinched the corner of her clothes tightly, this person was even more dangerous than she imagined.
"Yue'er, I'm all for you, and I can do anything for you. โ
"Don't say it's for me!" Ling Haoyue said coldly, "I, Ling Haoyue, have nothing to do with you. โ
Wen Mohan's face changed slightly: "Yue'er, you should have been mine, why did Murong Yan get you." โ
"Your Majesty, why do you bother, you have already married a wife, and I am also married and a daughter, you and I are impossible. Ling Haoyue slowed down her tone, at the moment, she couldn't deal with Wen Mohan alone.
Wen Mohan shook his head: "It's not important, Yue'er, I don't care if you're married or not, really, I don't care at all, as long as you agree, I can immediately make you the queen and be good to you for the rest of my life." โ
"What about Xiao Fanghui, where did you put her, she is a virtuous woman, you should know what she does to you. โ
Ling Haoyue could see that Xiao Fanghui had feelings for Wen Mohan, she was such a gentle and virtuous woman, didn't Wen Mohan talk about it at all.
"I can make her a concubine and make her Xiao family glorious and noble, and the position of queen is only worthy of you. Wen Mohan looked at her with burning eyes, only the person he loved was worthy of being his queen and his wife.
Ling Haoyue frowned: "You let me go, Wen Mohan, for the sake of me helping you before, if you let me go, I won't tell anyone that you brought me here." โ
"Let you go, do you and Murong Yan have a good time together?" Wen Mohan suddenly approached, looked at her face, and said coldly, "I can't do it." โ
Ling Haoyue kept retreating, trying to avoid him, until she pushed into the corner, and with no way back, she turned her face sideways.
"Yue'er, I heard the conversation between you and Murong Yan, aren't you going to marry him just because he helped you avenge your parents' revenge? I can too, if it weren't for me, you would never know that Zhou Yi was the real murderer, I was the one who helped you avenge it, you should marry me." โ
Ling Haoyue shook her head: "No, I married him because I love him, the person I love is him, not you, I can't marry you." โ
"No!" Wen Mohan suddenly grabbed her hand, "Yue'er, what's so good about him, I'm worse than him, why can't you like me." โ
Wen Mohan held it tightly, Ling Haoyue struggled, and her wrists were red.
"You let go of me, Wen Mohan, are you crazy?"
"Yes, I'm crazy!" Wen Mohan suddenly sneered, "I know I shouldn't like you, but you provoked me first, have you forgotten, you took the initiative to say that you wanted to do things for me, and you also helped me quell the plague in southern Xinjiang, and you made me unconsciously set my eyes on you." โ
At this moment, Ling Haoyue regretted not being at the beginning: "It's okay if I'm wrong, I shouldn't provoke you, I shouldn't cooperate with you, you let me go." โ
She really regretted that she hadn't seen his mind earlier, so that she made a big mistake today.
"Yue'er, I won't let you go, it took me a lot of effort to keep you by my side, and I won't let you leave again. โ
Wen Mohan let go of her hand. Ling Haoyue pinched the place he was holding, it hurt so much.
"Yue'er, stay here, I'll come to see you again. โ
"Wait. Ling Haoyue stopped him.
Wen Mohan was overjoyed, and quickly turned around.
"What is this place, and how did you get me here?"
Wen Mohan suppressed his smile: "Yue'er, don't think about how to escape, this is the secret room of the palace, no one knows, you better stay here obediently." โ
Ling Haoyue bit her lip, sure enough, she didn't guess wrong, she was still in the palace. The secret chamber in the palace could only be built underground, so how could she get out? Her husband and daughter didn't know what was going on?

The Imperial Study
Wen Mohan summoned his confidant Xue Jingzhi: "What's going on in Shou'an Palace?"
Xue Jingzhi replied: "King Jin has been sending people to look for him along the water's edge, and there is no change, but it seems that the county lord Rongxi is sick, and he is not the imperial doctor in the palace, so he invited a doctor back from outside the palace." โ
"I'm not stupid enough to let the Imperial Doctor do it. Wen Mohan snorted coldly, "Go down and keep staring at him." Also, the imperial concubine and Qin Jingyi should also be watched. โ
Xue Jingzhi responded: "Yes, my subordinates understand." โ
As he was talking, Hu Quan's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu asks to see you." โ
Hu Quan is the servant who served by the side of the first emperor, he is sleek on weekdays, and he is most suitable for being the head of the inner house, and he does not belong to any faction, Wen Mohan is also relieved to use him, and he has not been replaced by his own person.
"Let him in. โ
Hu Quan was instructed and led the Ministry of Rites into the imperial study.
"Weichen knocked to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty This is the ceremonial process of the enthronement ceremony drawn up by the minister, please take a look at it, there is something inappropriate. โ
Hu Quan took the excerpt of the book of the Ministry of Rites and respectfully presented it to Wen Mohan. Wen Mohan flipped a few pages and nodded: "Just do it." โ
"The Emperor Taishang has died, His Majesty's enthronement ceremony is about to be held, and the concubines in the palace, the position of Princess Ming, etc., please draw up Your Majesty. "All the Jin seals in the palace are ultimately organized by the Ministry of Rites.
Wen Mohan pondered for a moment: "The concubines of the first emperor are promoted according to the ancestral system, and Concubine Yun is suspected of murdering Princess Jin, so she will not be promoted for the time being." Although Princess Ming is my wife, she has no heirs, so she was named a concubine first. โ
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was shocked, although there is a precedent that the princess is not established as the queen, but it is because the emperor has another candidate for the queen in his heart, so he will do this. Could it be that His Majesty is not satisfied with Princess Ming?
"Obey. "No matter how much the Ministry of Rites Shangshu thinks, the thoughts of this new emperor are not something anyone can guess.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was about to return home when he left the imperial study, and happened to meet Xiao Qingfeng at the gate of the palace.
"Zhao Shangshu, where are you going?" Xiao Qingfeng greeted Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu turned around and bowed to Xiao Qingfeng: "Marshal Xiao, the lower official is preparing to return home." The marshal wants to enter the palace to see His Majesty?"
Wen Mohan only established Princess Ming as a concubine, Princess Ming is Xiao Qingfeng's own sister, at this time, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was a little embarrassed when he saw Xiao Qingfeng, of course he couldn't say it, but he was not worth it for the Xiao family. No one in Western Qin is worthy, the Xiao family is loyal, and now the daughter of the Xiao family is the wife of His Majesty but cannot be named the queen, which really chills the hearts of the courtiers.
"Zhao Shangshu, you don't seem to have a good face, but you're too tired?" Xiao Qingfeng was a little strange, why did this Ministry of Rites Shangshu look a little dodgy.
"It's okay, it's all the responsibility of the lower officials, and the lower officials still have something to do, so I'll leave first. After speaking, he left quickly, he couldn't face Xiao Qingfeng anymore, it wouldn't be good if he leaked his mouth.
Xiao Qingfeng's face changed slightly, if it was in the past, he might not really think so much, but now that he has been infected with officialdom for a long time, he can guess a few points of the twists and turns. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was in charge of all the ceremonies of Jin Feng, and he just looked away, and seemed to be a little weak-hearted. He is already the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, the head of the generals, and he will not be promoted again, so the only thing left may be Xiao Fanghui.
"Let's go, go to King Ming's Mansion. Xiao Qingfeng instructed his subordinates to turn around, and he had to talk to Xiao Fanghui.
Ming Wangfu
Wen Mohan had already moved to the palace, and on the grounds that he was busy with state affairs, he temporarily left Xiao Fanghui in the Ming Palace.
"Princess, Marshal Xiao is here. โ
Xiao Fanghui's face was happy: "Please." โ
After a while, I saw Xiao Qingfeng walk in.
"Big brother, why are you here?" Xiao Fanghui was still very happy about the arrival of everyone, Wen Mohan was not there, and she had nothing to do all day.
"Hui'er, I have something I want to say to you alone. โ
Xiao Fanghui understood and waved away all the people around her, leaving only her brother and sister.
"Big brother, but what's the matter?" looked at Xiao Qingfeng's expression, which seemed to be a little wrong.
"Hui'er, has Your Majesty sent someone to deliver the news that you will be brought into the palace recently?"
Xiao Fanghui shook her head, feeling a little lost: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, and there is no news. โ
Xiao Qingfeng frowned slightly: "Hui'er, I don't know Your Majesty's thoughts yet, but don't worry, with the Xiao family here, I won't let you be wronged." โ
