With a clang, Mr. Du closed the courtyard door directly and drove Helian Mochuan out. Ning Wan looked at this scene and didn't say a word the whole time. Compared with her master, she was really weak.
"Master, you are so amazing!"
Hearing Ning Wan's words, Mr. Du smiled happily and looked at his precious apprentice, becoming more and more satisfied.
"Disciple, in fact, there is nothing good about marrying into the royal family. Look, in the past and present, the woman who married into the royal family has had a good ending? Why not, Master will choose another marriage for you, and you will marry Master.
How about the direct grandson?"
Ning Wan frowned and said: "Master's grandson is my apprentice's nephew. Master, you have messed up the seniority, which is not good! What's more, the Du family is a prominent family, and your
My direct grandson may not be able to like me!"
Mr. Du thought about that stinky grandson, shook his head slightly, and thought that what Ning Wan said was right, he put the thought down.
Helian Mochuan left the Duke's Mansion. On the way, Leng Li was still a little aggrieved.
"Your Majesty, why does Mr. Du oppose your marriage? This matter was decided by the Emperor, so what qualifications does he have to object?" Helian Mochuan did not refute Leng Li's words, but said slowly: "
Although Mr. Du is just a miraculous doctor, the Du family's industries are spread all over Jiuzhou, and they are engaged in more than just medicinal materials business."
Someone once described the Du family, saying that the Du family is as rich as any country and is the largest family in Kyushu. Such a title has not been surpassed by any family until now.
Therefore, Mr. Du was able to refuse the marriage in person because he had the confidence to refuse the marriage.
"The Du family has been practicing medicine for generations. If they don't sell medicine, what else can they sell?" Leng Li asked curiously.
Helian Mochuan smiled faintly and gave an overview of the Du family's property. Leng Li became more and more surprised as he listened, and in the end he even had a look of horror on his face.
"My subordinates don't know that most of our food, clothing, housing and transportation come from the Du family!" Leng Li felt that Helian Mochuan had met a strong opponent.
Helian Mochuan didn't think so. Although he would suffer some difficulties, now that someone was protecting Ning Wan, he could feel relieved.
"How is the situation in the palace?"
Speaking of the palace, Leng Li lowered his voice and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has woken up and learned that all his concubines have been wiped out. The Crown Prince was very angry and wanted to go to the Emperor to ask for an explanation, but the Queen suppressed him!
"
Helian Mochuan sneered and said: "When the prince was first established, the emperor was not optimistic about him. He is the only son of the queen. He was brought up to be a domineering playboy and cowardly and incompetent! If he is put on the battlefield for a few years to practice, he might be able to do it.
He is on his own! Unfortunately, the queen values this son so much that she will never send him to the battlefield."
He usually has no other skills than scheming against the princes around him who are more capable than him. He has long disliked Helian Mochuan and coveted the power in his hands, but if it were really given to him, he might not be able to manage it well.
.
"Eighth Prince, what's going on recently?" Leng Li was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
"My subordinates did not ask anyone to follow the Eighth Prince. After all, his power in the court is not strong, and..."
Helian Mochuan raised his head and looked at Leng Li with a reproachful look in his eyes. He was so frightened that Leng Li quickly knelt down and said, "It's my subordinate's negligence. I will send someone to investigate right now!"
Helian Mochuan said with a cold face: "Leng Li, don't underestimate the enemy, otherwise you will die without a burial place!"
Leng Li nodded and quickly sent someone to investigate. In fact, nothing was found. The eighth prince had a walking official position in the Ministry of Personnel. He usually went to the Ministry of Personnel to look at documents. There was nothing important.
Let him do the work.
But after Helian Mochuan learned about it, he smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty is really well-intentioned. This eighth prince has been practicing in the Six Divisions since he was twelve years old. Some have been for three years, some for five. I don't remember it.
Wrong, he has been sitting on the bench for three years now, right?"
Leng Li nodded, and Helian Mochuan stood up from the wheelchair. His leg injury was almost healed now, and he was walking as fast as flying. However, he did not show it to anyone. If the emperor knew about this, the Regent's Palace would be overthrown.
Therefore, Helian Mochuan would only walk on the ground when he was in the study room of the palace. As for exercises, they were all done in the secret room.
"He has been practicing in various ministries for more than ten years and is familiar with everything in the six ministries. I think that the emperor should make big moves. The eighth prince's marriage may be his turning point."
Helian Mochuan's guess was correct. What the emperor was most troubled about now was not the prince's marriage, but what kind of woman the eighth prince should marry.
Today's concubine selection banquet, several outstanding ladies and their famous names are now in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, is a well-known beauty, dignified in appearance, and very experienced in dealing with people! There is also this daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who was born in the southern country, with the meekness of a Jiangnan woman, and
Qin Shilang was originally a merchant and his wealth is immeasurable!"
After listening to the words of the internal officials, the emperor didn't think there was anything outstanding about these two people.
"It's good, it's good. If you want her to be a good concubine in the house, she'll be fine as a wife, but she's not popular enough to be a princess!"
