The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

Yan Muxi felt a headache when he heard this. This matter had been discussed in the palace and would surely reach the emperor's ears soon.

After the emperor learned of this, it was unknown how he would punish Yu Wantai. The incident had already caused a sensation, and even if Yu Wantai was favored by the emperor, it was unlikely that he would not be punished at all.

When Yan Muxi thought of Jiang Tang's miserable condition, Xu's mother's death, and the punishment that her son would be punished for, she felt pain in her heart.

Seeing her disgusted expression as if she had swallowed a fly, Gu Yuelan thought that it was true that Yu Wantai had raped a married woman. She couldn't bear to stimulate their only handkerchief friendship any further, so she tactfully changed the subject.

"Today, only Li Chan'er came to attend the palace banquet on behalf of Prince Rui's mansion. She said that Prince Rui was ill and couldn't get up." Gu Yuelan looked around and saw that no one was around, so she lowered her voice and said, "In fact, it's not true that Prince Rui was ill and couldn't get up. It's true that he did too many dirty things and got retribution. I heard that he was beaten up, not only broke two ribs, but also his penis was not very useful."

Hearing how miserable Prince Rui was, Yan Muxi suddenly felt much better. But then she changed her mind and thought that if Prince Rui's offspring were really injured, he would not let Yu Wantai go easily.

"Who told you that? How could someone harm the offspring of a great prince?"

"Don't worry about who told me this. It's definitely true that Prince Rui was beaten. I heard that Prince Rui howled so fiercely that the wolfhounds in Prince Rui's mansion kept howling, and all the dogs on the street followed suit. It was a spectacular scene."

Gu Yuelan said with a click of the tongue, "I don't know if Prince Rui can still have a baby, but his reproductive organs are definitely injured. He's howling so loudly that it can scare a dog, so he must be seriously injured!"

For a moment, Yan Muxi didn't know whether she should hope that Prince Rui would be safe or hope that he would become a eunuch.

Jiang Tang was abused so terribly by Prince Rui, it would be fair if Prince Rui had no descendants.

But there is no fairness at all for many people and things in this world. Thousands of Jiang Tangs may not be as good as one King Rui.

Feeling uneasy, Yan Muxi took advantage of the fact that Yan Muqing was not busy before the banquet and called him to the garden next to the flower hall to question him.

Before it was Yan Muxi's turn to speak, Yan Muqing asked the same question as Gu Yuelan, "Are the rumors about your son and his wife true?"

"Of course it's not true. My young master is innocent, very innocent." Yan Muxi said angrily.

I don’t know if it’s because they have been married for a long time and have grown to like each other, but at this moment she wants to protect the dog prince and doesn’t want him to be wrongly accused or have a false accusation put on him.

"How did the rumor spread? It can't be groundless, right?" Yan Muqing was puzzled.

In his previous life, Yu Wantai also had a bad reputation, but it was limited to playing with birds and dogs, flirting with women and visiting brothels. He had never committed the evil act of forcibly taking a married woman.

Yan Muxi sighed, "This matter is complicated, I'll keep it short, oh! It's a long story... Well, anyway, my son-in-law took the blame for someone else, and the real villain who took over and humiliated the scholar's wife is recovering from his injuries in the mansion."

Yan Muqing was stunned for a moment, then reacted and exclaimed, "The villain you are talking about is King Rui?"

Seeing her shocked expression as if she had seen a ghost, Yan Muxi's heart instantly sank.

I originally wanted to ask what kind of punishment Yu Wantai would receive, but now it seems there is no need to ask. The entanglement between Yu Wantai and Prince Rui should have never happened in Yan Qingmeng.

After a while, Yan Muxi still didn't give up, "Big sister, think about it carefully, did you not dream about this kind of thing, or did you forget it because you didn't remember it clearly?"

Yan Muqing frowned and thought for a long time, "In my dream, Prince Rong and Prince Rui did not have any conflicts in public. If there was any, it was only after many years that they had a minor friction."

"What's the friction?" Yan Muxi asked anxiously as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"In the twenty-fifth year of the vision, the prince Rui was assassinated by a concubine in the palace. She was hit in the vitals and almost lost her life. After investigation, it was found that the concubine who assassinated the prince was a prostitute kept by the prince Rong. The prince Rui suspected that the prince Rong wanted to kill him, and he also brought the matter to the emperor. Later, it was found that the concubine assassinated the prince Rui to avenge her relatives and had nothing to do with the prince Rong, so the incident was left unresolved."

Yan Muqing narrated the story truthfully and added, "This is the case of the concubine's assassination. As for whether there are other hidden secrets, I don't know."

After listening to this, Yan Muxi felt a little confused.

The concubine of Prince Rui, who was once raised in Prince Rong's mansion, killed Prince Rui to avenge her relatives. Could it be that the concubine who wanted to avenge her relatives was Qinghuan?

If her inference was true, Jiang Tang in Yan Muqing's dream must have lost her life, and Qinghuan entered the Rong Palace to become a concubine in order to avenge her sister's family.

A change in one thing will inevitably drive other related events. Right now, Prince Rong's Mansion and Prince Rui are already standing on opposite sides. If the case of forcibly occupying a commoner woman can be pinned on Prince Rui, it will definitely be a blessing from heaven for the Crown Prince.

"Big sister, do you know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is thinking? Wouldn't it be a pity if we don't seize this great opportunity?"

Yan Muqing pondered it for a moment, then understood what Yan Muxi meant, "I'll try, but I can't guarantee that it will work."

The prince is too kind, so kind that he is a little weak and can be bullied. Unless a sword is put to his neck, he may not necessarily fight back. If you want the prince to intervene in this matter, you may have to use some means.

After noon, Su and Qian Manman also entered the palace. When they met, they first asked about the matter between Yu Wantai and the scholar's wife.

Yan Muxi just perfunctorily answered the question with a few words. Before the matter became clear, no matter how much she explained, it would be useless.

Yan Muxi spent most of the day under a stream of strange looks. Fortunately, she was thick-skinned enough and just ate and drank as usual, pretending not to see anything.

Only meritorious officials with titles and officials above the third rank and their families were invited to the palace banquet. Men and women were no longer separated by halls, but all gathered in the Qianqing Hall.

When the palace banquet was halfway through, the North Vietnamese envoy left his seat and walked into the palace, perfunctorily bowing to Emperor Yuan Jing, "I have come to your country from thousands of miles away, firstly to celebrate the New Year, and secondly to propose peace talks with Dafeng on behalf of our monarch. Our monarch proposed that the friendly diplomatic relations between the two countries could be maintained through marriage."

Receiving the hint from Emperor Yuan Jing's eyes, the Minister of Rites immediately stood up and took over the conversation, "Northern Vietnam is willing to take the initiative to make friends with our Dafeng. We in Dafeng have always regarded poetry, books and etiquette as the foundation of national security. There is no reason for us to refuse to seek peace and fight. I wonder if you, the Northern Vietnam, have chosen a princess for marriage?"

The North Vietnamese envoy denied it, "Our North Vietnamese princess is of noble status, and I'm afraid she can't bear the hardship of marrying far away in a foreign country. I heard that Dafeng women have strong personalities, so it is more appropriate for Dafeng Princess to marry our North Vietnamese country."

Upon hearing this, all the people in the hall changed their expressions, including Emperor Yuanjing who was sitting at the top.

The princess of North Vietnam is noble, but the princess of Dafeng is worthless? The remarks of the North Vietnamese envoys are equivalent to humiliating the entire Dafeng.

Emperor Yuanjing did not speak, and the others held their breath and dared not say a word. For a moment, the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The atmosphere was frozen for a moment, and Yan Yongchen spoke up to break the awkwardness in the hall, "The marriage between the two countries is a major decision concerning the friendly diplomatic relations between the two countries. Whether to have a marriage and which princess to marry will be decided after my Dafeng courtiers have discussed with the emperor before replying to your country. Today is my Dafeng's New Year's Eve palace banquet, we will only have fun and not talk about official business. The two envoys should eat and drink well and have a great time!"

The North Vietnamese envoy snorted with great disdain and said, "I have always heard that Emperor Dafeng advocates governing the country with virtue, and he will definitely agree to our sincere peace proposal." After that, he swaggered back to his seat, with a confident and determined look as if he had predicted that Emperor Yuanjing would agree to the marriage.
