The emperor's eyes were gloomy. Seeing Wen Ranran's words, he could no longer hold back.
"How presumptuous! You are a little girl, but you hide your bloodline! I originally thought that you and Lao Qi were a perfect match, but! You guys are playing tricks on me one by one! Where is my power!"
"I don't dare!" Wen Ranran lowered her head, "But this world, this country, is your Majesty's country! I have absolutely no wrong thoughts, and neither does King Yundian!"
The emperor took a deep breath, looked at Wen Ranran, and sighed deeply.
"Since you said something happened in Lingnan, then... you and Wen Changjin will take Cheng Fenglou to investigate! I will see the complete results in half a year. If there is any violation..."
"Father!" Xia Lishuang couldn't help but raise her head.
"Shut up! It's none of your business!" The emperor took a deep breath and looked at Wen Ranran, "How about I make you the governor of Zhongzhou?"
Wen Ranran took a deep breath.
The emperor did not mention Xia Lishuang's name, which meant that Xia Lishuang had no way to go with them this time.
Wen Changjin, Wen Ranran, Cheng Fenglou... no matter which one of these three is mentioned, they are closely related to the Wen family.
The words have been made very clear.
Hiding the blood of another country is a grave crime of treason... But these people are all closely related to Xia Lishuang, and the emperor himself was angry, so he gave them an impossible task.
But even this impossible task is indeed a sword hanging over the head of the Wen family.
Wen Ranran clenched her fists tightly and held back what Xia Lishuang was about to say, speaking in a calm but firm tone.
"My maid...accept the order!"
The hall fell into a dead silence, Wen Changjin and Xia Lishuang both stared at Wen Ranran in disbelief.
In the past, Xia Lishuang was taking care of everything behind the scenes, but now, the emperor has given an explicit order not to allow Xia Lishuang to leave the capital.
What's behind the Guangming Sect and Wu Shi San is no small matter, and its difficulty is no less than that of the Southwest Incident that just ended. What's more, there will still be countless enemies on the road. It can be imagined that the journey is difficult and dangerous.
But Wen Ranran took it.
Wen Ranran stared at the emperor with burning eyes, "My maid, can I have a private chat with His Majesty?!"
The emperor looked grave, but agreed.
No one knows what exactly Wen Ranran said to the emperor, and no one knows what kind of arduous task Wen Ranran took on.
In the early morning of the next day, Wen Ranran was named the governor of Zhongzhou, the fourth rank, and made a secret visit to Lingnan with Prime Minister Wen Changjin and Cheng Fenglou, the first rank minister.
Xia Lishuang was named the prince and took charge of the East Palace.
But the imperial edict granting marriage before was now being ignored intentionally or unintentionally.
Rumor has it that this daughter of the Wen family was too strong and was looked down upon by His Highness the Crown Prince. She wanted to break off the engagement, but the emperor couldn't live with it, so he had no choice but to send her out.
Wen Ranran, who heard these rumors, just laughed and didn't care.
When Wen Yuwan heard this, she almost cried all her tears.
The emperor made it clear that he wanted to deal with the Wen family. Perhaps the Wen family was not powerful, but the emperor wanted to use and defeat the Wen family's loyalty to satisfy his own face and use it to defeat the Lan Kingdom.
Wen Ranran coaxed Wen Yuwan with a wry smile, handed her over to Cheng Fenglou, and returned to the mansion.
"Bang--"
Before he even entered the door, the sound of the tea cup breaking reached his ears.
Xia Lishuang sat on the main seat with red eyes.
Wen Ranran said nothing, looked at Xia Lishuang, raised a smile, and walked over on the broken porcelain pieces.
