Chapter 52: The Scheme Comes True
"Brother Ling Yu, I'm really sorry, it's Qingxue who is too ignorant to do such a ......thing."
Ye Yun was full of shame, dragged his body that had not yet been raised, and took the initiative to come to the East Palace, wanting to ask Chu Lingyu for his understanding first.
"Lord Ye, it's not that this prince deliberately wants to embarrass you, but Princess Qingxue is really too much-presumably even in your Xiyue Palace, you can't allow such a thing to happen!"
Chu Lingyu's face was calm, and he didn't soften his heart because of Ye Yun's miserable crying - besides, he didn't know what role Ye Yun played in this matter, whether he really didn't know, or deliberately pretended not to know!
"There are thousands of mistakes, all of them are caused by Ye Yun's lax discipline, Brother Ling Yu, I know that this matter is a little difficult to speak, but now Ye Yun just wants to ask Brother Ling Yu to open up the net, don't make a public announcement, save the reputation of Qingxue, this girl, and also preserve the diplomatic relations between the two countries, Ye Yun is grateful......
Ye Yun endured his shame and anger, and kept bowing down and being small, Chu Lingyu thought of Ye Yun's hearty appearance on weekdays, and his heart still swelled with a trace of unbearable.
"Lord Ye, I want to ask you a word, and I hope you can tell me the truth."
Chu Lingyu's expression finally relaxed, and he raised his eyes to look at Ye Yun.
Ye Yun nodded busily: "Brother Ling Yu has anything to ask, just ask, Ye Yun must know everything, and he will say everything!" ”
"Did Ye Wang Ye know about last night's incident? If so, how much? ”
Chu Lingyu's eyes were staring at Ye Yun tightly, and he couldn't allow Ye Yun to dodge at all.
"This ......"
Ye Yun paused, then sighed heavily, looked away, and his face was even more ashamed: "Actually, it's all Ye Yun's fault...... My admiration for Princess Jingyuan is not fake, although Qingxue looks reckless on weekdays, but because she injured me that day, she also felt guilty in her heart, so she wanted to help me, hoping that Princess Jingyuan could see me, so she came up with this bad idea......"
"And then you agreed?"
Chu Lingyu, who originally had a soothing look on his face, heard this, and his face immediately turned dark again.
"I have to say that this suggestion was very appealing to me, and I did agree to it at first......"
Seeing that Chu Lingyu was about to go berserk again, Ye Yun hurriedly continued: "But soon I regretted it, because such a thing is too risky, and it is unreasonable, if it spreads, I am afraid that it will hurt the friendship between Li and Western Vietnam, so I regret it and do not agree with Qingxue to act like this......"
"I see."
The expression on Chu Lingyu's face changed several times, and then he nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder Princess Qingxue is waiting there in disguise as you, not you in person......"
"After this incident, Ye Yun really didn't have the face to face Brother Ling Yu and Emperor Li, as for those disobedient dogs, Brother Ling Yu disposed of it himself, no matter what, Ye Yun just wanted to ask Emperor Li to suppress this matter for the sake of the two countries having diplomatic relations for so many years, if there was anything wrong with the two countries because of this, Ye Yun would really be to blame!"
Ye Yun is a dignified seven-foot man, his eyes are red, and it makes people unbearable to look at it.
Chu Lingyu lowered his eyes, tried not to look at him, and said lightly: "I will turn this matter around for you in front of my father, but I don't dare to guarantee it, after all, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable...... However, Lord Ye, please be relieved for the time being, my father has always loved the people like a son, and he doesn't want to go to war again at the border......"
"Then thank you Brother Ling Yu!"
Ye Yun was overjoyed, and hurriedly made a deep gesture at Chu Lingyu, paused, and said with some hesitation: "Now that something like this has happened, this king really has no face to continue to stay in Li Country as a guest, and plans to leave for Xiyue tomorrow, and later this king will go to bid farewell to Emperor Li, so he will say goodbye to Brother Ling Yu here......"
"Then, this prince is here to wish Ye Wang Ye a smooth journey......"
Chu Lingyu arched his hand at Ye Yun with a complicated face, and the two said goodbye to each other, Ye Yun took a deep breath and turned around and walked out of the East Palace.
The sun was just right, but Ye Yun didn't feel the warmth at all.
In Huayang Palace, Concubine Rou got the news that Princess Jingyi was grounded in Yuhe Palace early in the morning, and she was in a hurry, wanting to save Jingyi, but it happened that Murong Yichen came at this time.
Concubine Rou's eyes lit up, and without waiting for Murong Yichen to finish the ceremony, she hurriedly pulled Murong Yichen's sleeve, and her voice trembled slightly: "Good nephew, your cousin is now grounded in her Yuhe Palace, and my aunt is so worried that she can't do anything, so I want to ask you to see the emperor, you are a foreign guest, and you are the cousin of Jingyi's sister-in-law, if you open your mouth, the emperor will definitely not lose your face, as long as you can rescue your cousin, my aunt will always remember your love in her heart!" ”
At this time, Concubine Rou seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and kept pleading with Murong Yichen.
But the corners of Murong Yichen's mouth kept pouting with that vague smile, and he didn't speak, and it took a while for Concubine Rou to react, and the expression on her face became a little subtle, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Isn't it, don't you want to?!" ”
Murong Yichen straightened out the clothes on his body at this time, and said slowly: "Aunt Rong Bing, yesterday was fine, today Sister Jing was grounded, whether it is a family affair or a state affair, Murong Yichen, as the eldest prince, does not seem to be able to interfere in it...... Otherwise, Emperor Li misunderstood that Daxuan had planted spies in the palace, and I am afraid that this would not cause a little misunderstanding......"
"This ......"
Concubine Rou didn't seem to think so deeply for a while, paused for a moment, and then said with an anxious face: "What should I do?" Yichen, if not, if you go to ask the emperor, you will say that you want to ask to marry your sister Jingcheng as a concubine, and then marry the two Qin and Jin countries, in this way, for the sake of Daxuan's face, the emperor will let your cousin go anyway! ”
After saying this first, Concubine Rou seemed to reflect the meaning contained in the words, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that this was a good way, her eyes suddenly lit up, and the expression on her face became happy: "Yichen, what do you think?" ”
"When I go back to my aunt's words, my nephew thinks that it's not good."
The curvature on Murong Yichen's lips has not disappeared, and at this time, he glanced at Concubine Rou, only to see that the expression on Concubine Rou's face instantly froze there, and a touch of sarcasm flashed in Murong Yichen's eyes, and then he continued unhurriedly: "Sister Jing is a princess of a country no matter what, how can she be a side concubine for her nephew?" This concubine's bitter aunt has experienced it herself, how can she bear to let Sister Jing repeat her aunt's mistakes? ”
"Side, side concubine?"
Concubine Rou paused, hurriedly waved her hand and explained: "You misunderstood, the meaning of this palace is not to let Jingyi be a side concubine, but to let you carry a sedan chair to marry her and be your dignified crown princess......"
"Never!"
The expression on Murong Yichen's face suddenly became solemn, and he hurriedly interrupted Concubine Rou's words, and arched his hand: "Since ancient times, the so-called marriage, the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker, now the nephew's father and queen mother are still alive, but the aunt rashly let the nephew propose marriage, how can the nephew be trapped in the point of disloyalty, filial piety, unkindness and injustice?!" ”
"This ...... Why is it so ......?"
Concubine Rou's face was a little sneering and a little suspicious, but seeing Murong Yichen's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, she couldn't make up her mind for a while, and she didn't know if this was Murong Yichen's excuse.
"If, if you put these aside, are you willing to marry your sister Jingyi as the crown princess?"
Gritting her teeth, Concubine Rou asked tentatively again.
"The nephew's concubine candidate, the father has already had an idea in his heart, and the aunt is still ...... Don't plan for your nephew. ”
The curvature on Murong Yichen's lips became wider and wider, and in the end, it turned into a bright irony.
"Actually, Murong Yichen came here today to say goodbye to his aunt, and the days of coming to Li Country are not short, after leaving Daxuan for so long, my nephew misses it a lot, and today he has said goodbye to Emperor Li, and he specially came to ask Gu's mother to resign."
Speaking of this, Murong Yichen straightened the clothes on his body and bowed deeply to Concubine Rou: "Say goodbye today, I don't know when we will see each other again, seeing that my aunt is doing well in the palace, my nephew will be relieved...... Take care of your aunt and say goodbye to your nephew! ”
After speaking, he took a deep look again, and then ignored Concubine Rou's dumbfounded appearance, turned around in a dashing manner, and strode out of Huayang Palace.
Even though Concubine Rou was angry in her heart, she was helpless, her heart turned around for a long time, she gritted her teeth, and went to the Long'an Palace in person, wanting to ask Chu Aotian to be gracious, and the rest will not be mentioned for the time being.
But in the East Palace, Chu Lingyu looked at Ning Xiuhan in front of him with a grateful face, and felt more and more that Ning Xiuhan was really his right-hand man, and he could always help him solve his urgent needs.
"Xiu Han, this prince has decided, I recommend you to go to the Ministry of Industry to boil up your qualifications, after two or three years, you must find a position in the Ministry of Officials and Soldiers, and then you will have to assist your father and this prince well, so that the people of Li will be more prosperous!"
Ning Xiuhan stiffened, and immediately his heart was overjoyed, and immediately some robes knelt on the ground, Xu was excited, and his shoulders trembled a little: "Minister, thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for promoting!" From now on, I will conscientiously assist the emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince, and dare not slack off! ”
"Good, good!"
Chu Lingyu helped Ning Xiuhan up, his eyes were full of emotion: "It is said that the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, according to the prince Ben, Xiuhan, you have the belly of the prime minister!" ”
"Jing Yuan slandered you like that before, but not only did you not get angry, but repeatedly saved her in danger, just this bearing, this prince admired! What happened last night, I should tell Jing Yuan to save her ......"
Chu Lingyu chattered, who expected that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ning Xiuhan: "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't do it!" ”
"Huh?"
Chu Lingyu wondered in his heart: "Why?" ”
Ning Xiuhan lowered his head and sighed faintly: "The princess is prejudiced against her ministers, it is not an overnight thing, how can it change because of one thing?" If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said it, I was afraid that Princess Jingyuan would not be angry in her heart and have a dispute with His Royal Highness the Prince, but she was not a minister...... The minister didn't dare to be arrogant, so he begged His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to tell the princess! ”
