He had seen too many people with many wives and concubines. Their Little Yu was so spirited and delicate. She should not be trapped in a wall with a bunch of ingratiating women.
Bai Xianyu went forward and gently hugged Bai Jingyuan. “Thank you, Brother.”
Her eyes felt hot.
Bai Jingyuan stroked her head and said in relief, “1 forgot to tell you. Yesterday, at the morning court assembly, His Majesty rewarded you with a thousand acres of fertile land and ten thousand taels of gold.”
“Really?” Bai Xianyu was stunned for a moment before looking at him excitedly.
Bai Jingyuan smiled helplessly. “Is it a lot? If anyone can take an arrow for you, Second Brother will take out more than ten times this amount of gold.”
“That’s different,” Bai Xianyu said. “All these years, I’ve been spending your money and that of the other brothers. Now, I have my own money.”
She looked very excited, and Bai Jingyuan’s mood subconsciously improved.
“I have to think about how to spend all this gold.” Bai Xianyu touched her chin with a smile in her almond-shaped eyes. “It’s best if 1 could multiply it by a few times.”
After Bai Xianyu finished thinking, Bai Jingyuan said, “In addition, the assassin captured by the Court of Judicial Review committed suicide the day before yesterday. This clue is gone.”
It was exactly the same as before. The only difference was that there was no intriguing evidence left.
“The officials of the Court of Judicial Review were also suspended from their duties for incompetence.”
“Emm.”
Bai Xianyu pondered in her heart. Thinking about it carefully, there were still many problems. If this had been done by the mastermind behind Qi Heng’s matter, why did they provoke the General’s Manor first and were so sure that they would not stand on his side?
Or perhaps… there was some enmity between the two parties?
If it was not the mastermind behind that matter, then who was behind it…
If the situation was compared to a hunting ground, the General’s Manor would definitely be surrounded by covetous eyes. When the princes stepped into the court one by one, it would probably be even more dangerous.
The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
Currently, the General’s Manor could count on Emperor Wu Xuan’s favor, but accompanying the Emperor was like accompanying a tiger. Bai Xianyu filtered out the candidates in her heart over and over again. The Fifth Prince was Noble Consort An’s eldest son. He looked humble and was quite doted on, but to them, he was not a good choice.
As for the others…
Bai Jingyuan lowered his head. “What are you thinking about?”
“Brother, if the Crown Prince has been appointed, will you support him to become the Emperor?”
The girl’s words were shocking. Bai Jingyuan glanced at Bai Li. After seeing Bai Li nod at him, he said, “The Crown Prince is legitimate. 1 will naturally support him.”
Bai Xianyu was not surprised, so in her previous life, the Fifth Prince was the Crown Prince and had received their protection.
If he was not suitable, then this position had to be changed to someone else.
Her eyes darkened.
In the side hall, Emperor Wu Xuan sat on the upper seat, while Mo Linyuan, Mo Xin, and the two envoys stood in the middle.
After everyone took a sip of tea, Emperor Wu Xuan said, “I’m afraid we have to discuss the marriage you mentioned earlier.”
The smile on Mo Linyuan’s lips faded. “Miss Bai doesn’t agree?”
He had thought that she liked him.
Emperor Wu Xuan frowned and did not speak. At this moment, a guard bowed and went forward to say something in Emperor Wu Xuan’s ear.
He waved his hand and frowned. “I didn’t think it through. Miss Bai’s body is injured and she can’t spread her roots. It’s not appropriate for her to be your imperial concubine.”
Mo Linyuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he said in surprise, “Is Your Majesty telling the truth?”
Emperor Wu Xuan stood up. “I’ve already sent someone to diagnose her.”
Seeing that Mo Linyuan and the others were silent, he added, “Little Five and Little Seven are not bad either. I originally wanted to betroth Little Seven to you.”
Mo Linyuan suddenly said, “Your Majesty, Linyuan only wants to marry Bai Xianyu.”
The moment he finished speaking, the expressions of the two envoys sitting beside him changed drastically!
“Your Majesty, Second Prince made a slip of the tongue. Please don’t take it seriously!”
“Your Majesty, do allow us to have a discussion with Second Prince!”
Emperor Wu Xuan nodded.
Mo Linyuan frowned and was pulled to the side by the envoys.
“Your Highness, if His Majesty finds out that the imperial consort you want to marry can’t… he will definitely be furious!”
“Your Highness, don’t forget the purpose of this trip!”
“Although Miss Bai is good, she can’t be your main consort!”
“Your Highness, if you marry Bai Xianyu, it’s hard to guarantee that no one will make a fuss and sow discord between you and the Emperor. How will your mother stand in the palace?”
H H
A complicated look flashed across Mo Linyuan’s eyes.
Awhile later,
under the gaze of the two envoys, he lowered his eyelids. “…Yes.”
Emperor Wu Xuan finished his cup of tea and heard Mo Linyuan speak again, “It means that we are not fated to be together..”
