Daily life of captives

The emperor still wanted to help Li Shao suppress the matter, but Li Zheng would not let go of this opportunity. Li Shao moved into the Zichen Hall, and the news that he was hanging out with men in the Yanying Hall and was bumped into by the emperor spread in Chang'an City It was true, and the spread was as exaggerated as possible, which shocked those who knew Li Shao well.

When Lin Qinghe heard the news, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he was grateful and guilty.

She had expected that the Third Highness would cause a big incident, but she didn't expect it to be such a self-destructive matter. Once the rumors spread, this marriage would naturally fail, but how will the Third Highness do it in the future? where?

"Qinghe!" Yongning rushed into the Lin Mansion impatiently, and found Lin Qinghe in the back garden, "Qinghe, have you heard about the Third Highness?"

Seeing Yong Ning's confused appearance, Lin Qinghe kicked Yong Ning angrily.

"Didn't I ask you to look at His Highness? That's how you look? What else do you think you can do?"

"Me!" Yong Ning rubbed his legs with an innocent face, "Your Highness hasn't seen me for a long time, where can I watch him? Why are you still blaming me..."

Lin Qinghe glared at Yongning and said, "Don't you have eyeliner? With so many people arranged, what are they doing to eat? Isn't the Yanying Hall full of your people? How can you ask His Highness to do such a thing? Now that this is happening, will His Majesty let him go?"

"Then, what do you think we should do?" As far as His Highness's temper is concerned, who among them can control it?

Lin Qinghe kicked Yong Ning again, and said with a look of disgust: "Aren't you usually very smart? Why are you asking me now?"

"I, am I panicking!" Yong Ning sat down beside Lin Qinghe, "His Highness has always been very measured in his actions, and he will never fall into the trap of others, but this time His Highness really did not leave a way out for himself. Now that rumors are spreading all over the place, His Highness's reputation will be ruined, and the ministers of the court will have some changes in their thoughts towards His Highness. It can be said that His Highness has suffered all these years in vain! Moreover, His Majesty has always hoped that His Highness can become a perfect prince, and now this Things got out of hand, if His Highness can't take care of the aftermath, His Majesty will really not let him go!"

He felt strange, based on Li Zheng's intelligence and His Majesty's preference for the Third Highness, this rumor was definitely not fabricated by Li Zheng out of thin air. In other words, the Third Highness must have given Li Zheng the handle himself, so that he could call Li Zheng Get things out of the way.

But what good does this do for His Highness the Third Highness?His Highness has endured it for so many years, why did it suddenly look like it was broken?Even if you are depressed because of Concubine Ji's death, you shouldn't spread your grief and anger on His Majesty... Could it be that Concubine Ji died for another reason?

Yong Ning's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly scolded himself for being careless.

Concubine Ji, who was always healthy, died of illness suddenly. This matter is so strange, why did he believe in His Majesty's imperial edict?He clearly knows His Majesty's mind and means, why is he so naive?

"Then you're still sitting here?" Lin Qinghe rolled his eyes at Yongning, "If you can't think of a way, you can ask others for help. Aren't the gates of Jie Mansion and Changsun Mansion open!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yong Ning jumped up and ran, and after running a few steps, he turned around and looked at Lin Qinghe worriedly, "Then what should you do?"

"Do I still need you to worry?" Lin Qinghe glanced at Yongning sideways, then sighed again, and said, "Your Highness can't let your efforts be wasted, I accept this favor."

"That's true," Yong Ning nodded with a smile, "I taught you."

"Let's go!" Lin Qinghe grabbed a small stone next to him and threw it at Yongning.

Yong Ning jumped away with a smile, then rushed out of Lin's mansion like a gust of wind, and rode his horse straight to Changsun's mansion.

After Yong Ning left, Lin Qinghe brewed his emotions for a while, and then found his parents and made a big fuss. He decided not to marry Li Shao. Chickens fly dogs jump.

On the other side, Changsun's mansion, who received the news almost at the same time, exploded. When Yongning arrived, General Changsun was chasing and beating Changsun Boyi with a stick.

"Bastard boy! Your wings are hardened and you want to go to the Zichen Palace to snatch people? What else do you want to do? Why don't you go to the Xuanzheng Palace to snatch the jade seal?! Stop for me!"

Changsun Boyi jumped up and down and ran ahead, and when he heard General Changsun's words, he shouted: "If you don't propose marriage, I'll go snatch him!"

Really mad at him!He thought His Highness was too sad, so he was bored in Yanying Hall alone, and he refused to see anyone. He didn't want to bother His Highness, so he kept trying not to force his way into Yanying Hall. There was a rumor about hanging out with a man, it really pissed him off!

That bastard Li Zheng must have done it!If you say that His Highness is hanging out with men, can you just say that His Highness is hanging out with him?How can there be any man!

Yong Ning was taken aback by the chaos in the courtyard of the Changsun Mansion, looked left and right for a while, then tiptoed to the side of Changsun Zhongcheng, and asked in a low voice: "What are your father and your eldest brother doing?"

"What else can we do?" The eldest Sun Zhongcheng sat on a big rock next to him, with a look of habit, "The two of them come here once a day. If there is no trouble someday, it will make people feel that there is something missing at home." Woolen cloth."

Hearing this, Yong Ning twitched the corners of his mouth and asked again: "Then what is it for today?"

The eldest grandson Zhongcheng curled his lips and said: "It's not that the rumors about the Third Highness have been spread outside, and my eldest brother was so angry that he went to tell my father that anyway, His Majesty will definitely find out who is messing with His Highness." ', and then put the blame on the other party, so as to restore some reputation for the Third Highness, it is better to let him enter the palace to admit this matter, and propose a marriage to His Majesty by the way, and marry the Third Highness back."

Yong Ning's eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly asked nervously: "Then General Changsun disagrees?"

The eldest grandson Zhongcheng chuckled, and said: "My father didn't say he disagreed, but my brother said something superfluous, which made my father chase him and beat him."

"What did you say?" Yongning was curious.

Changsun Zhongcheng imitated Changsun Boyi, lowered his voice and repeated what Changsun Boyi said to Changsun General: "If you don't go to propose marriage, I will go to the palace to snatch someone!"

After the words fell, the eldest Sun Zhongcheng shrugged with a smile.

Yong Ning also shook his head and laughed, but the method Chang Sun Boyi said would work.

The Third Highness and the eldest grandson have always been close, and it is reasonable to say that they have been in love for a long time. These days, the Third Highness is sad because of the death of Concubine Ji, so it makes sense to ask the eldest grandson to comfort her.Moreover, the eldest grandson is the eldest son of General Changsun, so he is worthy of the Third Highness in terms of status.In short, let's suppress this turmoil first, and they can discuss other things in the long run.

Although they still don't understand why His Highness did this, even if His Highness can give up on himself, they can't watch His Highness go to death.

After finally stopping the enraged General Changsun, Yong Ning had just finished talking about the stakes with General Changsun when Liu An came to Changsun Mansion to deliver the emperor's oral order and summoned General Changsun into the palace.

Entering the imperial study, General Changsun saw the emperor standing by the window with a gloomy face.

"The minister joins His Majesty."

The always shrewd emperor seemed to have just come back to his senses, his whole body was shocked, and then he turned his head to look at General Changsun: "Ai Qing, please get up."

General Changsun stood up as he said, and asked respectfully: "I don't know why Your Majesty summoned the ministers into the palace?"

The emperor sat down after returning to the royal case, sighed and said, "Have you heard about Sanlang?"

General Changsun lowered his head, pretending not to take it seriously, and said: "It is nothing more than someone maliciously slandering His Highness, and when His Highness married a girl from the Lin family, this rumor will be self-defeating."

"But, when Lin Qing entered the palace just now, she said that the girl of the Lin family forced her to die. She would never marry a person who has no clear relationship with a man, even if that person is the prince, or even if I propose to marry him." The emperor seemed very tired. She seemed to close her eyes, "I chose such a good wife for San Lang through thousands of choices, but in the end... I can't force her to marry... Sigh, San Lang's life is hard."

Not sure what the emperor meant, General Changsun didn't dare to answer.

The emperor said again: "If Sanlang's marriage is not successful, this rumor will not be broken."

General Changsun hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty has already thought of a solution for His Highness the Third Highness?"

The emperor opened his eyes and looked directly at General Changsun: "Is your Boyi old enough to marry a wife?"

If the rumors of hanging out with men during the filial piety cannot be broken, even if he intends to make Saburo the crown prince, it is impossible. To make up for his negligence this time, his painstaking efforts for so many years are in vain, and now he can only persuade San Lang to assist the future prince and emperor, so that San Lang can become a sharp sword in the hands of the next emperor.

If this is the case, he doesn't have to insist on Sanlang marrying a wife, the same is true when he gets married, the eldest grandson's family holds much more power than the Lin family, and it would be good to be able to take back some of it in a legitimate way with Sanlang.

"This..." General Changsun hesitated for a moment, "The dog is still young, so he is not in a hurry to talk about marriage."

"It's not too early," the emperor smiled, "If you have someone you like, you should make a decision earlier, or let someone else grab it in the future."

"...Your Majesty said so."

After hearing the words here, General Changsun finally understood.

Your Majesty is planning to push the boat along the way and directly push His Highness into their eldest grandson's house... In other words, His Majesty does not intend to make His Highness the heir apparent?

General Changsun's heart skipped a beat, thinking something was wrong.

Because of His Majesty's forced promotion, His Majesty the Third Highness has made countless enemies over the years, and even offended the princes in the palace. If he fails to become the heir apparent, His Highness the Third Highness will be in danger.

General Changsun's thoughts changed sharply, he smiled innocently, and said again: "Blessed is the dog, and His Majesty has to worry about him. If you can get His Majesty's marriage proposal, then it is really the merits of the Changsun family."

"Aiqing is serious," the emperor also laughed, "I promised Saburo to your boy, what do you think?"

General Changsun first feigned surprise, then was overjoyed, and hastily knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
