Chapter 93: Temptation
Dongling Guyun expected it to be good, and when he heard that Duanmu Youning was already awake, Dongling Luoxi summoned her to the imperial study early the next morning.
This matter was already under control, and Duanmu Youning entered the salute unhurriedly: "Courtier Duanmu Youning, see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
"Excuse me. Tanglin Luo Xi waved his hand politely, with obvious concern on his face, "Duanmu Youning, you were injured by the assassin a few days ago, and you were unconscious for a while, I am very worried, is the injury okay now?"
"Thanks to the emperor's concern, the courtiers were lucky enough to pick up a life, and her injuries have improved. Duanmu Youning bowed and saluted, "It's a pity that the courtiers don't know where those assassins come from, I'm afraid they won't be able to help His Royal Highness King Zhan!"
As she spoke, she glanced back at Dongling Guyun, her gaze swept over the Dongling Chenyang on the side, and sure enough, she took the relieved expression on his face into her eyes in time, and couldn't help but sneer secretly.
"Oh, so you haven't seen those assassins like either?" Dongling Luo Xi couldn't help frowning, "So do they have any characteristics in terms of martial arts, or accents and demeanor?"
Tanglin Chenyang's fists tightened, Duanmu Youning had already shook his head and said: "They didn't say anything, and they stabbed the courtier's two swords when they entered the door, and the courtier's daughter passed out before she had time to react!
Tanglin Luo Xi frowned more and more, and muttered unconsciously to himself: "In this way, what is the origin of the murderer......, and why did he assassinate you?
Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly realize something, and immediately stopped a little unconsciously, turned to Dongling Guyun and coughed and asked, "Yun'er, what about you, have you found any clues from other places?"
Although he changed his words in time, Duanmu Youning fully understood what he meant: the only thing he was worried about was that the mastermind behind the scenes already knew the prophecy of "whoever gets this woman will win the world", but because he couldn't get her assistance, he had to simply stop the trouble!
Dongling Guyun didn't seem to notice anything wrong, and then shook his head and said, "Not for the time being." Father, the Assassins were apparently well-trained, and left few clues. Originally, Erchen was still counting on Duanmu Youning to be able to gain something after he woke up, who knows...... In this way, I am afraid that I have to think of something else. β
"So far, that's the only way to go. Dongling Luo Xi nodded, "You continue to investigate this matter, and you must find out the mastermind behind the scenes, lest he continue to cause trouble to others!
She still needs to protect? If she doesn't protect others, does that mean that she doesn't look down on anyone?
Dongling Guyun looked at Duanmu Youning meaningfully, and bowed down and agreed: "Yes!
Tanglin Luo Xi nodded: "In this way, you first escort Duanmu Youning back to the house, and by the way, tell the Zhenguo Duke what I Fangcai." And also...... Duanmu Youning, the prince's rebellion, you must have heard about it, right?"
I planned those things single-handedly, why should I hear about them?" Duanmu Youning lowered his eyelids to hide the secret in his heart: "Yes, after the courtiers sobered up, they have already heard about it. Your Majesty, the courtier's daughter, as the wife of the prince who has not passed through the door, should have been guilty of the same crime as the prince......"
"Where is this coming from?" Tanglin Luo Xi immediately piled up his face full of kindness, as if he was a Dao Mingjun who had a clear distinction between right and wrong and would never implicate the innocent, "I have already said that although you are the crown princess designated by me, you have not held a big wedding ceremony with the prince, so you two are still returning to the bridge and the road to the road, no matter what the prince does, it has nothing to do with you, and he will never implicate anyone in the Zhenguo Mansion because of this, understand?"
Duanmu Youning bowed and nodded: "Yes, the courtiers thank the emperor for his grace!"
"Besides......" Tanglin Luo Xi pondered for a moment, as if considering how to phrase it, "Your marriage to the crown prince was appointed by me personally, but now it is ...... Besides, you are my niece, and I have always felt deeply uneasy in my heart. In this way, I will definitely choose a man with both talents and good looks for you as a husband......"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Duanmu Youning immediately spoke, trying to excuse himself, "It's just that although the emperor doesn't blame him, the courtiers are the prince's fiancΓ©e after all, if this kind of thing just happened, they will marry again, I'm afraid ......"
"Don't worry, I know it. Tanglin Luo Xi pretended to smile affectionately, "Now that the prince's rebellion is not completely over, I will not ask you to marry someone else immediately." So you don't need to rush to get married, when the dust settles on this matter, the first thing I have to do is to choose a good husband for you!"
Your so-called good husband is nothing more than choosing one of your princes to match to me, after all, you still expect me to assist this prince to ascend to the throne!" Duanmu sneered secretly, and still excused himself: "The emperor has all the opportunities every day, and it is enough to work hard every day on the affairs of the country, so why do you need to worry about this little thing for the courtiers......
"It must be!" Dongling Luo Xi interrupted her seriously, "If you continue to refuse, or prefer to marry on your own, then you will look down on me?"
"The courtiers don't dare!" Duanmu Youning had to bow down, "That's the case, thank you to the emperor!"
Tanglin Luo Xi nodded with satisfaction: "That's right! Yun'er, you can escort Duanmu Youning back home!"
The two of them left, and Tanglin Luoxi inadvertently turned his head, and happened to see Tanglin Chenyang staring at the backs of the two with gloomy eyes, as if he was thinking about something. With a move in his heart, he deliberately coughed and said, "Yang'er, how is the wedding ceremony?"
"Ah...... Father, rest assured, everything is going well!" Tanglin Chenyang quickly came back to his senses and replied quietly, "Erchen has taken care of all the matters properly, and basically has not caused any unnecessary losses. But the rebellion of the prince's brother is a big deal after all, and the people have to talk about it for a while. β
"That's inevitable, it's not your responsibility. Tanglin Luo Xi seemed to be satisfied with the nod, "You have done a good job in this matter, and I will definitely be rewarded." β
Tanglin Chenyang bowed: "Erchen doesn't dare, this is what Erchen should do!"
Tanglin Luoxi looked at him, seemingly casual, but in fact, there was a sharp look in his eyes: "By the way, Shu Fang just said that he wanted to choose a man for Duanmu Youning as a husband, in your opinion, the Chinese military officer or the son of his family, do you care about Duanmu Youning's ugly appearance?"
Tanglin Chenyang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and a scheming light quickly flashed in his eyes: "This ...... Erchen rarely interacts with those people on weekdays, and he really doesn't know much about them. If the emperor wants to choose from them, he may wish to issue a decree to see if anyone will come to the election. β
"This one can be considered. Dongling Luo Xi nodded, the expression on his face seemed to be a little smiling, "But it's a pity, when Duanmu Youning covered his veil, at first glance, it was actually peerless, but the scar on his face ruined this peerless jade! Otherwise, she and Yun'er would be very compatible......"
Although Donglin Luo Xi didn't know that he had already found out the prophecy, he knew very well in his heart that Donglin Luo Xi would never give Duanmu Youning to anyone other than the prince, otherwise wouldn't it be equivalent to giving the throne to someone other than the prince?
And Tanglin Luoxi originally had only five princes under his knees, and now that the crown prince has been deposed, there will never be a day, and the seventh prince Donglin Night Star has not only been married, but also has a too weak temperament, and is definitely not the best candidate for the prince. The eighth prince, Dongling Muyu, is still young again, don't say that he is a husband, and it is almost the same as being Duanmu Youning's son!
Then the rest is only him and Tanglin Guyun!
It is said that as the second prince, he should be the most qualified to inherit the throne except for the crown prince. But now anyone with eyes can see that whether it is appearance, temperament, talent, or calmness, wisdom, determination, and so on, Dongling Guyun is more than a hundred times stronger than him! Regardless of his age, he simply does not have a single hair as compared to Dongling Guyun! If he is Dongling Luoxi, I am afraid that he will also be inclined to establish Dongling Guyun as the crown prince, so as to protect the country of Yulin for thousands of years!
However, because of this, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Donglin Luoxi's words were definitely not unintentional, but probably some kind of silent temptation!
Although these thoughts had already swept through Tanglin Chenyang's mind like lightning, Dongling Luo Xi still read something from his momentary silence, and his eyes immediately followed a cold: "Why, don't you think so?"
"No, Erchen thinks that his father is right. Tanglin Chenyang was startled, and then quickly came back to his senses, "So Erchen was just thinking that although Duanmu Youning had excellent medical skills, he couldn't heal the scars on his face......"
For the time being, no more obvious flaws were found, and Tanglin Luo Xi smiled faintly: "The so-called doctors do not heal themselves, but there is nothing strange about it. What's more, no matter how clever a doctor is, he will always have his own good or bad skills. β
Tanglin Chenyang's eyes flickered, and he tried his best to control himself: "What the father emperor said is." That...... According to his father's understanding of the sixth brother, will the sixth brother care about Duanmu Youning's ugly appearance?"
Tanglin Luo Xi smiled: "What, you want to match them?"
Fart! I'm going to match them?! It's clear that you're saying they're a good match! Old immortal thing, you're kidding me, aren't you?!
Because of the restraint of anger, Tanglin Chenyang's face became a little pale, but he had to pretend to be calm and smiled: "Erchen doesn't dare, Erchen just thinks that if you only look at the back, the sixth brother and her are indeed very compatible, and the father is wise!"
Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear. After being praised, Tanglin Luoxi was in a good mood, but said with an unfathomable smile: "Let's talk about this later, I can't be in a hurry now." By the way, Yang'er, I didn't expect that the assassin matter would be so tricky, and even Yun'er couldn't handle it. In this case, I will hand over this matter to the two of you, hoping that you two will be able to gain something together. β
Tanglin Chenyang hugged his fists and agreed: "Yes!
Let me check the Assassins? ridiculous!
