Chapter 111: The Emperor's Assassination
Thinking of this, Li Youran suddenly came to her senses, she definitely couldn't run away so irresponsibly.
"Rest assured, I won't be out of the question."
Li Youran looked at the relatives who cared about her and said solemnly.
"It is impossible to openly resist marriage, but what if force majeure occurs?"
Everyone looked puzzled when they heard Li Youran's words, and they didn't know what she meant.
"If something happens before the wedding happens, so that the wedding can't be held as scheduled, there is naturally no way."
Only His Royal Highness the Second Prince looked like he had suddenly realized, thought about it carefully, and said to Li Youran.
Li Youran nodded when he heard this, and everyone came to their senses, but what happened to stop the wedding from going on?
According to the past tradition, if something unlucky happened in the world, or if the royal family passed away, the emperor would generally issue a holy decree prohibiting it, and no happy events were allowed for a certain period of time.
There is also the possibility that the person concerned has passed away and can no longer continue the matter.
"Although the decree of marriage has been given, the specific marriage date has yet to be agreed, so let's not be in a hurry, so as not to mess up."
The second princess walked over, took Li Youran's hand, patted it lightly and said.
Li Youran nodded, and made up his mind that before the wedding, he would definitely find a good solution.
"I begged the emperor for marriage on the front foot and was refused, and the holy decree on the back foot was sent to the Second Prince's Mansion, which shows that the emperor has ulterior motives!"
Uncle Wu was furious in the study, and swept the snacks on the table with his arm as he spoke. I saw that the delicate and small snacks were scattered all over the ground, and they just rolled down to Mrs. Wu's feet.
"Bastard thing, I can't control my emotions when I'm old, how can I trust the Wu family to you!"
Mrs. Wu walked over tremblingly with a cane. Although he is in the grade, he is full of energy.
"Dad, what does the emperor mean by doing this, is it true that our national protection kung fu has gone?"
If it was put back then, let alone a little Li Youran, she would be a princess, as long as their Wu family opened their mouths, the emperor would not dare to refuse.
Uncle Wu was not angry that his son couldn't marry Li Youran, but the emperor's attitude towards their Wu family.
refusing the request of the Protector Mansion to give marriage, and instead giving marriage to the Uncle's Mansion, this is obviously belittling their Protector's Mansion.
"It's not unreasonable for the emperor to do this, everyone knows that the prime minister and His Royal Highness the Third Prince are close, and our Protector's Mansion is the maiden family of the Prime Minister's Mansion, what is it if Li Youran marries into our Protector's Mansion?"
Mrs. Wu can see better than Uncle Wu, he knows very well that they have been forcibly classified into the faction of His Royal Highness the Three Princes, even if their Kung Fu Protector does not mean this.
"I said a long time ago that although His Royal Highness the Third Prince is favored, he is not a Ming monarch in the end. I advise you not to get so close to him and stay farther away, but you have to drag the Prime Minister to His Royal Highness the Third Prince. ”
As he spoke, Mrs. Wu sat down, looked at the five or five masters of Wu, and continued.
"Now you're all grasshoppers on a rope, and it's too late to run."
After Uncle Wu heard Mrs. Wu's words, his brows furrowed deeply.
The words are ugly, but this is the truth, when His Royal Highness the Third Prince was infinitely beautiful, they also took advantage of the Protector's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Now that His Royal Highness the Three Princes are gone, their Protectorate Mansion is naturally not what it used to be.
But if he really gave up, he was really unwilling.
"You rebel, where are you going?"
Mrs. Wu didn't have to think about it, and knew that Uncle Wu was either going to the prime minister or the third prince to cushion it.
"Dad, I'm going to find His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
Uncle Wu said and left without looking back. He must not sit still, he must do something, and he must not let His Royal Highness the Second Prince gain power.
"It's all fate."
Mrs. Wu held the cane with both hands, stood up again, looked up at the courtyard, and said in a tone of "I am destined for heaven".
thinks that back then, he was also a person who had sweated and made contributions, but it was a pity that his son was not angry and did these foolish things.
Mrs. Wu is already powerless, anyway, he may close his eyes tomorrow, let them toss as they want.
"Qianqian, are you really no longer in contact with Youran?"
After Zhou Caidie learned about Li Youran's marriage, she went to Jiangfu and wanted to go to Li Youran with Jiang Qianqian.
But I didn't expect that Jiang Qianqian was still sulking there and refused to go with him.
"Who asked her to tease me first."
Jiang Qianqian played with the blue gem hairpin in her hand and whispered.
In fact, Jiang Qianqian was no longer angry with Li Youran, and after calming down, she also came back to her senses.
It was indeed her impulsive before and misunderstood Li Youran, but she couldn't hold her face, so she simply sulked until today.
"I don't know what to say about you! Come on, and I'll tell you a secret. ”
Zai Jiang Qianqian, after listening to Zhou Caidie's words, her face was incredible.
"Is that true?"
"I can still lie to you, how can you think Hu Qinqin can be so quiet during this time."
Zhou Caidie pursed her lips as she spoke, then looked at Jiang Qianqian and continued.
"Others don't know Youran, don't you know her? She's a person who can do anything for her friend's sake. You're so confused that you think she's stealing a man with you. Don't you think about it, if she is interested in Tian Alang, how can she delay until now? ”
It is said that the authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear, Zhou Caidie feels that this sentence is not false at all.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Before Zhou Caidie's words were finished, Jiang Qianqian hurriedly got up.
"It's happened that something so big, why don't you hurry up and ask Youran to understand?"
After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhou Caidie, and ran out in a panic.
"You wait for me."
Zhou Caidie chased after her, thinking that she really shouldn't have reconciled the two of them, and in a blink of an eye, she became a superfluous person.
"Leisurely, such a good family business, why don't you help it?"
Although Zhou Caidie hoped that Li Youran could become her sister-in-law, she also knew that Feng Yu was much better than her brother, and he was the leader of the inner guards at a young age, holding a thousand horses in his hands, and was highly valued by the emperor.
Not only that, Feng Yu is also the prince charming in the hearts of many little sisters, and many official ladies are crying and wanting to marry him, but they didn't expect Li Youran to be troubled by this.
"Whether you want to or not, if you resist the decree, there is only a dead end."
Jiang Qianqian has been with Li Youran for a long time, and knows that Li Youran is a stubborn person, for fear that Li Youran will not be able to think about it.
"No one can guess the emperor's thoughts, on the surface, it is to give marriage, but in fact, there may be other purposes."
Jiang Qianqian often follows Master Jiang on weekdays, so she knows a little about the affairs of the DPRK and China.
Similarly, she also felt very puzzled, the emperor did this, undoubtedly tying the second prince's mansion and the uncle's mansion together......
"It's useless to take one step at a time, and think so much."
finally cleared up the misunderstanding with the good sisters and got back together, Li Youran didn't want to continue such a disappointing topic, so he talked about a new thing that had just been reported.
"Are you saying that the outer room rushed into the shop and beat the prime minister's wife, not the prime minister's wife?"
Jiang Qianqian's mouth was about to be stuffed with an egg, this news is too exciting! The dignified prime minister's wife was beaten up by an outer room in front of the public.
"I heard from the guy in the store that Red Sleeves rushed into the shop barefoot, and his hair was messy, and he was pulling the hair of the prime minister's wife, and he shouted loudly to let her return the child."
When Li Youran said this, he couldn't help but pout.
Obviously, it must have been the prime minister's wife who used shady means to destroy the son who Red Sleeves regarded as a treasure.
"And then?"
Zhou Caidie looked at Li Youran while munching on melon seeds, and asked nervously.
"It's strange to say, the prime minister's wife didn't catch the red sleeves, but followed the red sleeves away."
Speaking of this, Li Youran's brows couldn't help frowning, this is really a dramatic scene, the dignified prime minister's wife was beaten, not only did not arrest people, but left with the crazy red sleeves.
To say that there is nothing behind this, I really don't believe it.
Just when the three of them were chatting about the gossip of the prime minister's family while munching on melon seeds, the Three Princes' Mansion was so lively.
His Royal Highness the Third Prince summoned all the guests in the palace, and even called his colleagues.
"The old man thinks that the emperor's move must not be as simple as it seems on the surface, maybe there is a deeper intention behind it."
"The minister thinks that the emperor obviously attaches great importance to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, you must know that Uncle Guo is an old minister who has made great contributions to the emperor, and Feng Yu is also a courtier that the emperor trusts very much."
"Your Royal Highness, you must not let the marriage between the Second Prince's Mansion and the Uncle's Mansion be reached. If not, His Royal Highness the Second Prince will be like a tiger, maybe it will really be ......"
"If it's just a test, let's hold it steady and see what happens next."
Everyone has a word and I have a word, there is no consensus of opinion, and there is nothing to say.
His Royal Highness the Third Prince frowned, and he had an impatient expression.
"No matter what my father thinks, the form is very unfavorable to me, and I invite everyone to come just to find a way to live."
His Royal Highness the Third Prince stood up as he spoke, and walked towards Uncle Wu.
"Nowadays, we are all grasshoppers on a rope, one is prosperous, and the other is destroyed, and the Protectorate Mansion is an example."
After hearing the words of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, everyone began to talk about it one after another.
Originally, there were many people here, but they were just fishing in Hengshui, and they knew that His Royal Highness the Third Prince was gone, so they had two hearts.
But the words of His Royal Highness the Third Prince are undoubtedly mentioning them. It's not how they want to become, as long as the emperor thinks they're in a gang, no one can escape.
"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, if you have any arrangements, just say it, I will wait for the soup to go to the fire, and I will not hesitate."
"I'm willing to go to the soup and go to the fire, and I won't give up."
I saw everyone kneeling on the ground and shouting in unison, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince smiled brightly.
At night, Li Youran lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and he was having a headache about what good plan to come up with to get rid of this marriage.
I saw that the house suddenly became lively, and the people were busy under the command of the housekeeper.
"Xiaohong, what happened outside, why is it so lively all of a sudden?"
"Back to Miss's words, there was a sudden word in the palace asking His Royal Highness the Second Prince to enter the palace quickly."
Xiaohong had been keeping vigil outside, and after hearing Li Youran's words, she hurriedly walked in and said to Li Youran.
"The father-in-law who came to pass the word was very flustered and had a gloomy face, it should be that something bad happened in the palace."
After Li Youran heard Xiaohong's words, he sat down directly from the bed, stepped on the embroidered shoes randomly, and was about to walk out.
Seeing this, Xiaohong hurriedly took a cloak and put it on Li Youran.
Li Youran stood at the door and didn't go out, and saw His Royal Highness the Second Prince wearing ordinary clothes from a distance, so he left in a hurry.
"It seems that something really happened in a hundred thousand urgent, otherwise how could it be too late to wear court clothes?"
Li said to himself leisurely, thinking that if the queen or the emperor died, maybe the marriage would be delayed.
Thinking about it carefully, he shook his head again, thinking to himself, how could such a thing suddenly happen.
The next morning, Li Youran was sleeping sweetly when he was woken up by a noisy sound outside.
She struggled to get up from the bed with two big dark circles under her eyes, only to see that the sunlight outside was not so dazzling, and it was estimated that it was just seven o'clock.
"Xiaohong, what are you doing outside?"
After a long time, Xiaohong walked in.
After seeing Xiaohong, Li Youran was directly stupid.
Xiaohong likes bright colors, and Li Youran also feels festive, so he bought a lot of red clothes for Xiaohong, but today Xiaohong is wearing a plain dress, and the flowers on her head have also turned white.
"Miss, I've made a noise to you, do you want to sleep for a while?"
As she spoke, Xiaohong instructed the two maids to come in and replace the red candle on Li Youran's desk with a white candle.
"What happened to Xiaohong, and why did she ......?"
A bad thought suddenly appeared in Li Youran's mind.
"Miss, the emperor was assassinated last night and is in danger. The palace let out a word early in the morning, all the princes and ministers, the house should not be decorated with lights, and all of them must be changed to plain colors. ”
Li Youran didn't expect that her words last night would come true, she was really a crow's mouth, no, no, it was really clever.
"Has His Royal Highness the Second Prince ever returned?"
"No, His Royal Highness the Second Prince asked someone to send a message back, saying that all the houses were kneeling outside the emperor's bedroom to pray for the emperor."
After Li Youran heard Xiaohong's words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, thinking that where is this blessing, it is obviously on this reason that all these princes are trapped in the palace.
After this analysis, Li Youran felt that the emperor Lao'er was very likely to be pretending.
