Chapter 44: The Reliance of the Shangguan Mansion
After leaving the palace gate, Murong Mingxi got into the carriage he was waiting for and went back in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć In the Huasheng Palace, as soon as Murong Mingxi left, Concubine Xiao Guifei sent someone to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince over.
After Qin Zongye received the news sent by his mother, he immediately rushed over and saluted Xiao Guifei.
"The son asks the concubine to say goodbye."
"Get up."
Seeing that the prince had already come, Concubine Xiao asked Yurong to retreat with the other palace maids, and only after there were only two people left in the palace, she and the prince, then asked, "How did that matter go?" ā
Hearing Concubine Xiao's inquiry, Qin Zongye's face sank. He replied loudly: "All the traces have been disposed of, and Vice General Wang's family is in the hands of his sons, and he will not betray us." It's just that in this way, all the efforts we have made before will be in vain. ā
"Ignorance, how many times has the concubine told you. Everything is focused on the great cause, do you think you can sit back and relax when you become the prince? More than a few people are waiting for the opportunity to pull you out of this position. This palace warned you, don't go to the Shangguan family, but you don't listen. It's a good game, and we lost the chess pieces we planted so hard to bury in vain. If this matter is not handled well, do you think your father will be fooled? ā
At this time, Concubine Xiao had already changed her momentum, which was completely different from the appearance she showed in front of Murong Mingxi just now.
Being reprimanded by Concubine Xiao, Qin Zongye's face became even worse, and he explained a little impatiently: "Mother, my sons don't understand. The Shangguan family is obviously an empty shell, why are you so jealous? This incident was obviously an accident, and it was the luck of the Shangguan family that escaped this catastrophe, otherwise the retainers would have taken them down. In this way, the marriage contract between Erchen and Murong Mingxi could have been canceled a long time ago. ā
However, his explanation was not exchanged for the appreciation of his mother, but was slapped hard by Xiao Guifei. "Bastard, you've got this in mind. Do you think your position as the crown prince is too secure? ā
was slapped in the face, Qin Zongye was a little incredulous, his mother actually beat him for outsiders. Seeing Qin Zongye's appearance, Xiao Guifei hated that iron could not become steel, and opened her mouth to continue
"How much effort did it take for this palace to ask your father to marry you and Murong Mingxi. Do you think you can continue to sit in this position without this gift? The Shangguan family has no real power now, but don't forget, Shangguan Wence is the master of Mobei, and the king of Mobei only has one daughter, Tuoba Yuer. Your father didn't dare to touch the official family, only you dared to go up by yourself. Withdrawing from Murong Mingxi's marriage, do you think Prime Minister Murong will let you go easily? ā
After listening to Concubine Xiao's words, Qin Zongye felt scared. Only then did he realize that he had thought too simply. Shangguan Feilong has only one son, and that is Shangguan Wence. Murong Mingxi's aunt was not from Daqin, but the eldest princess of Mobei at that time.
Shangguan Feilong followed the old general Shangguan when he was young, and was caught by the eldest princess of Mobei who sneaked out. The previous king of Mobei was very fond of this eldest princess, and sent someone to envoy Daqin to give her a kiss.
After the eldest princess of Mobei married Shangguan Feilong, she unfortunately had a difficult birth when she gave birth to Shangguan Wence. The king of Mobei was grief-stricken and demanded that the eldest princess's son be sent back to Mobei. Although the old man Shangguan and Shangguan Feilong were reluctant, they had no choice.
Because of this relationship, it can be said that the Shangguan family has the entire Mobei behind it. Although Great Qin is wider than Mobei, the iron cavalry of Mobei is the most feared existence among all countries.
Even his father didn't dare to move the Shangguan family easily, and he stupidly got up. Fortunately, the mother's words today reminded him, otherwise he would really be ruthless.
