The concubine is extremely cautious

Chapter 195 The Emperor Grants Marriage

"Why do you want to poison yourself?" Lan'er was puzzled.

She could understand poisoning Qizhu, but why did he poison herself?

Jin Zhong, the eunuch in charge of the Criminal Justice Department, stepped forward and said, "I think Princess Cai Ya will not drink this cup of milk tea. If something happens to Princess Qi Zhu, Princess Lan Er will be the first suspect."

Lan'er reacted and took a breath.

If she really succeeds, then when I return to Northern Desert, I will be targeted by the two major tribes and I will have no chance of survival.

"Cai Ya plotted to murder the imperial concubine and has been handed over to the Criminal Justice Department for investigation." Helian Qi said in a cold voice.

He promised to welcome Princess Qizhu into the palace, so Caiya's action was tantamount to murdering the imperial concubine.

As for Caiya being a foreigner...

Da Yan is a powerful country, so Bei Mo certainly wouldn't dare to ask Helian Qi for people when they are in the wrong. Even Cai Ya's father should write a letter of apology and send it over soon.

Caiya's face was pale. She knew she couldn't bear the punishment, so she didn't make any excuses.

"I am deeply grateful to the Imperial Concubine for her planning and saving my life." Qizhu stood up and saluted with lingering fear.

Although Cai Ya's plan was simple and crude, it was well-planned. If Ning Wanyin hadn't sent someone to watch her in advance, she would have been dead...

I was careless for a moment and almost capsized in the ditch.

However, considering this life-saving grace, her next actions were reasonable.

"Yes, yes, thank you very much, Your Majesty! If it weren't for Your Majesty, I would have taken the blame!" Princess Lan'er bowed to Ning Wanyin with gratitude.

The three tribes were arguing over the choice of bride. She said she didn't poison the other two princesses and didn't want to get rid of them. Not only did the other two tribes not believe her, but her own tribe didn't believe her either.

If it weren't for Ning Wanyin, her final outcome would have been to be dealt with by the family to quell the hatred between the two tribes.

Ning Wanyin also saved her life!

"There's no need to be so polite, princesses. You are guests coming from afar, and Dayan will ensure your safety." Ning Wanyin responded calmly.

She was not at all proud of her own personal achievements, but only said that this was the Dayan way of entertaining guests.

A concubine in the deep palace has such a pattern...

Many court officials couldn't help but look at him sideways.

Song Chengyi also looked at Ning Wanyin. After two frame-ups, even his own sister had framed him for having an affair with the imperial concubine, he would never dare to keep anything like a marriage talisman.

I was also ashamed of the trouble I had caused her.

He had gradually let go of his youthful admiration, but it was undeniable that, to this day, the Imperial Concubine was still as stunning as when he first saw the scroll of chess manual.

Meng'er, who was sitting next to him, was really scared. You princesses are so cruel.

Fortunately, my seat is far away from you.

Otherwise, I'm really afraid that you will send me away as well.

He quickly stood up and apologized to the Emperor of Dayan, not daring to mention sending Princess Caiya back to Beimo:

"Your Majesty the Emperor, please forgive me. I never thought that Cai Ya would dare to poison the banquet in the palace of Great Yan and murder the princess. Everything is up to Great Yan to decide!"

……

After this turmoil, the Autumn Hunting Banquet came to an end.

The next day, the emperor went hunting with his ministers, and Princess Qizhu accompanied them.

In Princess Lan'er's tent.

"Princess, what the prince means is that once you arrive in Dayan, you don't have to go back." said an elderly nanny who was accompanying them.

Lan Er's face was full of rejection, "I don't want to go to the Criminal Justice Department and keep Cai Ya company."

She was very willing to enter the palace, but there was nothing she could do if she was not selected.

She doesn't have the ability to change the candidate chosen by the emperor.

"Don't get me wrong. The prince's plan is that it would be best if you can be selected. If not, please ask His Majesty the Emperor of Dayan to grant you a marriage with a minister in the court." The nanny explained.

If she cannot marry the emperor, marrying one of the emperor's trusted court officials would not be a loss for the Lori tribe.

I have also gotten in touch with Dayan.

Lan'er had no objection to this. As the eldest daughter of the prince, she had always known that her marriage was to be for the benefit of the tribe.

"That's fine, just don't let me plot against Qizhu. I'm really not good at that!" Lan'er nodded.

So on the second day of the autumn hunt, when Helian Qi returned from hunting, Lan Er petitioned the Emperor of Dayan for permission to grant her marriage:

"Your Majesty, Lan'er admires the culture of Great Yan and hopes to stay in Great Yan. I dare to ask you to grant Lan'er a marriage."

Helian Qi understood their tribe's plan at a glance, and nodded:

"Minister Song Chengyi of the Ministry of Justice is both virtuous and talented. I will grant you two a marriage and choose a date for your wedding."

Anyone who intermarries with the Northern Desert tribe must not be involved in disputes between nobles and the crown prince.

In the eyes of the emperor, the person with suitable status and who is not yet married is none other than Song Chengyi.

Song Chengyi, who was accompanying him, was stunned, but he did not object. He stepped out of the line and saluted: "I thank your majesty for your grace!"

Lan Er looked at Song Chengyi, who was a handsome and elegant man. She thought that the emperor was quite good. He would choose a handsome man for her, and she would be more satisfied with this marriage:

"Lan'er thanks His Majesty Emperor Yan for his grace!"

The news of the emperor's marriage granting spread quickly.

Xue Jinshu was thoughtful when he heard about this. Song Chengyi had some connection with Ning Wanyin in the past, so he could do something about it.

But of course she would not show up in person on this matter.

"I heard that Concubine Yao was rejected when she tried to seek refuge with Ning Wanyin last time. She must be willing to cause some trouble for Ning Wanyin. Send someone to hint to her..." Xue Jinshu ordered.

……

Lan'er received the marriage grant from the emperor and completed the tasks assigned by the tribe. She was strolling in Zijin Mountain in a good mood and happened to meet Concubine Yao who was deliberately getting close to her.

There was no one around here, so Concubine Yao took the initiative to greet them:

"Princess, all is well."

Lan Er looked at her curiously. She vaguely remembered that she was sitting on the side of the emperor and his concubines. "Are you the concubine of His Majesty the Emperor Yan?"

"Yes." Yao Jieyu nodded, and said with a kind and enthusiastic look: "The princess is from another place, and she doesn't know the situation in our Great Yan. I see that the princess is lively and lovely, and I really can't bear to see her marry Song Chengyi without knowing anything. He has some private matters that no one dares to mention, and he is really not a good match."

Lan Er was shocked. "What do you mean? Is he impotent?"

Yao Jieyu was stunned, and her cheeks instantly turned red. This prairie princess is really shameless! She actually mentioned such a thing openly!

"Then how did you know that?" Lan'er looked at her in surprise.

Yao Jieyu interrupted quickly, "It's not what you think! He and the imperial concubine have an old relationship! This matter was a hot topic back then, and many people knew about it..."

"Ah?" Lan'er was shocked again, and suddenly realized: "So His Majesty the Emperor Yan took my wife by force?"

This is too exciting! Lan'er's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"That's not the case. The imperial concubine did not marry Song Chengyi. Back then, someone..." Yao Jieyu explained the entanglement between Song Chengyi and Ning Wanyin: "Although there is no evidence, even Song Chengyi's own sister reported that the two had an affair. They must have had something, but it was covered up..."

"Your Majesty is deceived by the Imperial Concubine and believes that she and Song Chengyi are innocent. But Song Chengyi is still unmarried, so he must be thinking about the Imperial Concubine. If you marry Song Chengyi, you will suffer in the future."

"You are the Princess of Beimo. If you want to change your husband, His Majesty will definitely consider your idea."

Concubine Yao knew that the emperor's decree had been issued and it was impossible to change it.

But she deliberately instigated Lan'er to mention this matter to the emperor.

The princess was unwilling to marry Song Chengyi because of Ning Wanyin.

This was done to sow discord between the Emperor and Ning Wanyin.

The excitement in Lan'er's eyes turned into disappointment. Huh? I thought it was a love story about a tyrannical emperor who took her by force and loved her fiercely...

That's it? That's it?

Hey.

Lan Er said listlessly, "Oh."
