Chapter 329: Forced Marriage
Li Changqing curled his legs up, his chin resting on his knees, and curled up in the corner of the prison. It was cold and damp, but she didn't care.
At this moment, her mind kept reverting to today's events.
The Queen Mother has endured it for so long, it is impossible to tear her face so quickly? And how could Xiao Guifei pick it up so accurately and so coincidentally?
Even if the emperor sees it, no matter how angry he is, he won't directly put her in prison without even trial?
The old emperor's unusual behavior was completely different from his previous anger. Thinking of this, she couldn't help frowning, she remembered that Qi herself said: Even his son can't figure out what Xuanyuan Jing thinks in his heart.
I can't help but have a headache again.
Today, during the whole process, she didn't see any big moves from the queen, and the person who framed her, but she was leisurely and complacent.
Just thinking about it, Li Rao hurriedly walked in.
"Qing'er." Li Changqing saw his daughter sitting there in a good manner, so he was a little relieved.
"Why is my father here?" Li Changqing has just been arrested, so can his father come in?
"The warden here is my former protΓ©gΓ©."
"Father, there's something going on, but it's okay to say it." Li Changqing nodded clearly, but what he didn't expect was that the first person to visit her was actually his father.
Li Rao lowered his voice, approached Li Changqing through the iron fence and said: "I'll make a long story short, the emperor has long been unhappy about the matter between you and the six princes, so you should restrain yourself for the time being; As for the Queen Mother, she and Concubine Xiao Guifei have long been one, and I am waiting for you to jump on this matter today. As for the jade pendant, it was indeed a water concubine, at that time, when the emperor bought it, it was still paid by his father himself. Even if you make a lot of trouble at home on weekdays, your father doesn't blame you, but this time, this seemingly small thing, if it is not good, I am afraid it will kill you. β
Li Rao said, paused, looked at the puzzlement in his daughter's eyes, coughed a few times, eased the atmosphere and said: "In short, the emperor is probably going to use this matter to suppress you this time, and my father can't talk about it." As for the Queen Mother, my father has always been unable to figure out why she is angry with you. But on Concubine Xiao's side, you must have guessed something, she is the inner line arranged by the Wang family in the palace, this time Wang Kun's death, they hate you to the bone, I am afraid they will not let you go, but they can be safer in the prison. Although his father can't support the six princes openly, he will help him secretly. At the end of the day, he's someone you like. Besides, he went to Tingfeng Pavilion more than three times in the middle of the night every time, did Qing'er think that the guards of our Li Mansion were really wine bags and rice eggs? β
Li Changqing raised her starry eyes and looked at her father in surprise, it seemed that she was just like praying, and she suddenly couldn't understand her father.
Li Rao was a little embarrassed by his daughter, smiled and said: "Come today, I just tell you to be careful in everything, don't always be strong and argue with the emperor, in the end, it is always you who suffers." You just have to think about it, you have the Ye Guo Mansion and the Li Mansion to support you, no one dares to really do anything to you? β
Li Changqing nodded, which was considered an agreement.
"By the way, when I came just now, the sixth prince was coming, and I blocked him to avoid suspicion. This prison is not a casual place to enter, I'm afraid I can only come here once, and it is estimated that the queen's birthday will be over later, and all the people here will be replaced. At that time, without the emperor's order, even the six princes will not be able to come in. Li Rao said and sighed, put his hand into the fence, and gently patted his daughter's shoulder, and then reluctantly left.
Li Changqing stood in place, stunned for a while before sitting back.
It seems that YiqiΔ is thinking in the wrong direction.
What is the father hinting at behind this?
Before Li Changqing had time to think about it, the queen's birthday banquet had not yet ended, and the entire prison was replaced by a Praetorian Guard not long after Li Rao left.
Li Changqing didn't expect it to come so quickly.
However, if it comes, it will be safe, and it will be waiting.
Not long after Li Changqing was escorted away, Xuanyuan Qi left Xuanyuan Hall first, and then Xuanyuan Xi also left, and in the end, the queen was completely bored, so she broke up in front of the emperor.
Li Changqing stayed in the prison for a few days and was calm.
And after Xuanyuan Lingzhu was in a coma for three days, he woke up.
After waking up, he shouted "Six Princes" in his mouth, and he only knew Xuanyuan Qi.
Dr. Liang went to follow-up every day, and finally diagnosed that his brain had been hit on a nerve, and he was afraid that he would be stupid. If you take good care of it in the later stage, it is a miracle that it can get better.
This incident immediately caused an uproar.
Xuanyuan Jing sent a wave of imperial doctors, and finally came to this conclusion.
Xuanyuan Qi stayed in the study all day, no one knew what he was doing, and Xuanyuan Lingzhu followed Xuanyuan Qi every day since his body recovered, pestering Xuanyuan Qi like a coquettish child.
Xuanyuan couldn't get rid of her no matter what.
The king of the Northern Domain entered Beijing overnight, but did not ask the emperor, but went to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts.
"Auntie, please make the decision for me." As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
"Xun, what's wrong with you?" Saying that, Mama Yu winked.
The king of the Northern Domain was quickly propped up.
"My daughter looks like this now, please ask my aunt to make the decision for me." The king of the Northern Domain asked for the Tao in tears.
"This matter, the mourning family was present at the time, and they didn't expect this kind of accident to happen suddenly, don't worry, let's think about it in the long run."
The King of the Northern Domain nodded, and then sat aside.
The king of the Northern Domain, whose real name was Xuanyuan Xun, was that his father and the former emperor were cousins of the side branch. is not particularly close, but he also helped the emperor to conquer the country, and he was also a hero, loyal to the emperor, and finally died on the battlefield, and his son is Xuanyuan Xun, who has always been blessed by the queen mother.
This time his daughter had an accident, he did not look for the emperor, but directly found the queen mother, the meaning is unclear.
"I'm just this one daughter, and now I'm like this, and I beg my aunt to be in charge."
"Since the spirit bead is already like this, if it is cured in the later stage, it will be good, if it is not cured, then this life will be ruined?" The Empress Dowager looked at the expression of the Northern Domain King with her eyes as she spoke, her expression was complicated, and her tone was meaningful.
"What does aunt mean?" Xuanyuan Xun is not fooling around, he has traveled thousands of miles to go straight here, so can he still have no attempt?
"Forced marriage. Since Lingzhu likes the six princes, let the six princes marry Lingzhu as a concubine, and now the six princes are on the cusp of the knife, if they refuse to marry Lingzhu, wouldn't they be ungrateful? β
Xuanyuan Xun thought about it and immediately said with a happy face: "Xun obeys his aunt. β
The Empress Dowager motioned for Xuanyuan Xun to step forward, and after whispering something to him, he left happily.
It's just that the king of the Northern Domain didn't expect that why the queen mother was willing to let Xuanyuan Lingzhu marry a waste prince who had a bad reputation? He was dedicated to his daughter, but he didn't expect that he would harm his daughter instead.
However, the Sixth Prince had spent some time in the north, and he had also witnessed his vigorous and resolute methods, which he appreciated. This time, even if the queen mother doesn't talk about this family business, he will entangle the six princes to death even if he pesters him.
Xuanyuan Xun went straight to the old emperor, and as soon as he entered, he directly kowtowed a few times, and the startled old emperor quickly got up and personally helped him up and asked, "Brother Huang, what's wrong?" β
Xuanyuan Xun said with a sad face: "I ask the emperor to fulfill my unfortunate daughter and give her a marriage." β
"Marriage?"
"Yes, ask the emperor to give her a marriage and give it to the six princes. The courtiers were seriously injured for the six princes, and now they are almost stupid. But even so, the courtiers only remembered the six princes, and no one could get close to her, so please ask the emperor for permission. β
Xuanyuan Jing's brows furrowed, "Let me think about this matter." Xuanyuan Jing wanted to refuse, but in the end, he still had some scruples, and the words turned into considerations.
Xuanyuan Xun sneered in his heart, it seems that as the queen mother said, the emperor will not agree.
"Now that the courtiers have saved the six princes, it has become known to everyone, if the emperor does not agree, Lingzhu is like this now, even if she recovers from her illness in the future, no one will be willing to marry her. In the end, for the sake of the six princes, this reputation is also bad. β
"Don't worry, brother Huang, think about it, think about it, think about it......"
"If the emperor dislikes Lingzhu like this, the younger brother has nothing to say, so he can only ask the emperor for his consent by death......"
was ruthless, and before he finished speaking, he hit the pillar directly in front of the emperor and passed out on the spot.
"Doctor Chuan!" Xuanyuan Jing didn't expect that the weak imperial brother, who had always been pinched by him, would have such a strong side, so he immediately ordered someone to find a doctor.
Soon, I don't know who let the news out, and the whole Shangjing broke out about the wedding of the six princes before the upcoming New Year.
said that the six princes were ungrateful and unwilling to marry the stupid county lord; Some people say that the county lord of Chang'an was put in prison because he obstructed the county lord; What's more, he actually said that the county lord of Chang'an, as the imperial aunt, actually dared to fall in love with his nephew, and he was ethical.
What is even stricter is that the county lord of Chang'an mixed the marriage of the six princes, and wanted to take the throne as a concubine, bewitching the six princes, so that he could not marry the lord of Lingzhu.
More informed people broke out: Even the three princes are in love with the county lord of Chang'an, and they don't know what kind of enchanting techniques they used; Later, he provoked the crown prince to fight with the six princes on the birthday of the queen, just to fight for the lord of Chang'an.
These ugly words came one after another, and no one stopped this public opinion. And, it seems, a pair of hands are fueling the flames, making this rumor even worse.
"Check it out!" As soon as Xuanyuan slapped the table, it immediately became a crumb.
Listening to the song and mourning silently, this is already the fourth table today, if it continues like this, next time I can only change the stone table and bring it into the study.
The master tried his best to enter the prison almost every day, wanting to meet Miss Li, but the emperor was not sure whether he was alive or dead, and a full hundred Praetorian Guards guarded the prison tightly, and he couldn't even put an ant in.
Therefore, the mood of the master is particularly understandable when listening to the song.
Besides, after Xuanyuan Xun hit the pillar of the main hall, the whole person was in a coma for five days. In the past five days, the entire court situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The ministers who supported the six princes were a little wavering at this time, if a person didn't even have a basic repayment, what integrity could he talk about becoming their trusted master?
Coupled with Xuanyuan Xi's upside down behind his back, and Xuanyuan Chu taking the opportunity to push it, the situation became delicate in the end.
And in the prison, Concubine Xiao Guifei walked in gracefully.
