"Cousin, Ling'er knows that you are angry with me, but I have no choice but to marry Prince An. Can you tolerate me, cousin?"
"Say it!"
He wanted to hear what incredible reason An Ling'er had for making her and the Yongkang family go against his will and seek refuge with Jun Hongyan.
An Ling'er hurriedly said:
"At that time, Xiao Zhang, the second son of the Xiao family, wanted to forcefully marry me, but he had already damaged his brain and would become a fool. How could I sit back and wait for death to marry a fool? Cousin, you know, Xiao Guogong forced me
, my father, an idle count, cannot stand it."
"So, you broke off your marriage to Chu Wenzhong and married into Prince An's Mansion?"
The second prince felt cold, and An Ling'er hurriedly explained:
"My cousin has misunderstood. Yes, breaking off the engagement came first and forced the marriage later. Breaking off the engagement with Mr. Chu was the worst thing Ling'er did. Ling'er has already received retribution."
Hearing An Ling'er admit his mistake, the second prince's expression did not ease much. Mistakes have always been made, and not all mistakes can be forgiven.
The connection between him and the prince and brother was missing again. Not only was it missing, but they were almost on opposite sides.
An Ling'er felt the cold air from the second prince and was extremely scared. She was afraid that the second prince would not forgive her and stop caring about her life and death. She hurriedly pulled out Chu Yunxi's big flag.
"Ling'er married into Prince An's Mansion as a concubine. It was the way that the Crown Princess pointed out to me. Ling'er thought that the Crown Princess was right. After all, she wanted to marry into the Xiao family's sphere of influence. It would be better to marry Prince An.
"
The second prince now became somewhat interested in what she said.
"Keep talking."
An Ling'er felt happy, mentioning the Crown Princess was indeed useful, she continued:
"In Prince An's Mansion, I saw clearly the true face of Prince An. He is a hypocrite who can sell everything for himself. He has no sincerity for anyone and only loves himself. Therefore, I secretly handed a few coins to the Crown Princess.
news."
"Is this true?"
The second prince finally straightened up his expression. In addition to coming back to participate in the royal hunt this time, he wanted to make his position clear to the prince and brother.
It's a pity that something like this happened before he had a single word with the prince.
If Yongkang Bofu persists in his stubbornness, he will have no choice but to abandon his mother's family.
"It couldn't be more true, cousin, if you don't believe it, just look at it."
An Ling'er quickly took out the still warm He Li Shu and showed it to the second prince.
When he saw the three words "Heli" in the book, the second prince was already shocked. Did An Ling'er get the "Heli" from Prince An? Did he completely break away from Prince An's palace?
When he saw the word "Yun", he suddenly stood up from his seat.
The second prince naturally recognized the emperor's handwriting. The word "Yun" was actually written by his father!
"How did you do it?"
The second prince was puzzled. Not to mention that Jun Hongyan was sent to Li City to provide disaster relief by his father. Even if he was still in the capital, he would not agree to divorce An Ling'er as a concubine. Even if An Ling'er wanted to
Getting a divorce letter is all wishful thinking.
Why did the father go beyond Jun Hongyan and directly agree to An Ling'er's request for reconciliation?
"Cousin, it is precisely because I secretly helped the Crown Princess that the Crown Princess went to the Emperor in person and asked for this letter of reconciliation for me."
The second prince's mood rarely fluctuated. Since it was the prince who helped An Ling'er escape from Prince An's Mansion, does that mean that the prince's brother also intended to separate Yongkang's Mansion from the Xiao family?
The prince and brother didn't have any suspicion about him?
An Ling'er watched the second prince's reaction and struck while the iron was hot.
"Cousin, the reason why I came to you shamelessly this time is because the Crown Princess said that the second prince is kind-hearted and will be able to tolerate me. Cousin, I already know that I was wrong, and I will definitely be obedient in the future. No
You are causing trouble for your cousin. Please bring Ling'er with you and we can go back to Yongzhou together."
An Ling'er finally expressed his intention to come, and the second prince only asked one question.
"Did she really say that?"
"Yes, if it weren't for the help of the Crown Princess, how could Ling'er get the He Li Shu?"
An Ling'er's words completely convinced the second prince that with Yongkang Bofu's ability, they would never be able to get He Lishu. In fact, they would never even think of taking such a path.
The second prince thought of the woman standing with the prince on the hunting ground. She had an alluring appearance worthy of the prince. Now it seemed that her strategy and ambition were not comparable to those of ordinary women.
Although she was suspected of wooing him, she actually helped his cousin, and it could even be said that she helped Yong Kangbo's family.
According to the temperament of the prince and brother, Jun Hongyan is bound to have a bad end if he acts like this. If the Yongkang family is implicated, he will also be implicated and be despised by his father.
"Cousin?"
An Ling'er didn't know what the second prince was thinking, and was waiting for his answer anxiously. What would she do if the second prince refused?
The second prince came to his senses.
"You go back and prepare, and you will leave Beijing with me in the future."
"Ling'er thanked my cousin."
An Ling'er was overjoyed. With the second prince's consent, it was easier for her father to talk. As for her mother, her father naturally convinced her.
The second prince looked in the direction of the palace, thinking about what kind of drama the prince and his father were performing.
The court has become such a mess, but they are still indifferent. Is the prince really seriously injured and unconscious?
He couldn't imagine that his beloved brother, the God of War, would be killed in the hands of two beasts and a group of villains.
For several days in a row, Xiao Guogong and King Hao had been quarreling in front of the emperor since the morning.
Duke Xiao Guo spoke first:
"Your Majesty, now that the enemy is eyeing us, our troops, horses, food and grass must be well prepared. How can the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households remain without owners? I have been in charge of the six ministries for so many years, so I naturally know who is more suitable."
King Hao was not to be outdone:
"Brother Imperial, what Duke Xiao said is wrong. The original Minister of the Ministry of War and the Secretary of the Ministry of Household were both promoted by Duke Xiao, but what happened? They all guarded and committed theft. I'm afraid Duke Xiao is suspected of not knowing who he is."
The emperor coughed a few times and rolled his eyes at them.
"It's so noisy! You guys haven't made enough noise in the court, and now you are making noise in front of me. I can't even think about being quiet."
Xiao Guogong refused to give in:
"Your Majesty, this is a major matter concerning the life and death of Yunxiao Kingdom. Please make your decision as soon as possible."
King Hao sneered coldly:
"Xiao Guogong, haven't you seen that the emperor's dragon body is not feeling well? What is more important than the emperor's dragon body?"
"It is precisely because the Emperor is not feeling well that we have to decide on official candidates early to take care of the Emperor's worries."
Duke Xiao Guogong's tone was firm, but his eyebrows were cold.
"Okay, okay, what's the fuss about? Ahem."
The emperor seemed to take a breath and then continued:
"The Household Department is the money bag of my Yunxiao Kingdom. In the past, I only looked at knowledge and put a nerd in it. He was still a short-sighted nerd. He had never seen any money and couldn't control it. Instead, he leaked the money bag.
.”
"Brother Emperor said exactly what he said!"
King Hao agreed and looked at Xiao Guogong with disdain, wondering what kind of moron he had promoted to the throne.
