Chapter 318: Rumors Flying, Princess Marriage
In the past few days, rumors have spread in Beisha City that Prince Li was assassinated by a master, seriously injured, and was placed in the Yuanbei Camp for rescue.
The eldest princess received the imperial edict from Kyoto and set off for Beijing a few days ago.
Beidi and Tianqi renegotiated and reached an alliance.
The terms of the peace talks were that two months later, the fifth princess of Beidi, Shen Ziyan, would go to Tianqi and select a princess from among the princes who had not yet married a wife. At that time, Shen Lanzhi, the son of Prince Yong, would serve as the ambassador for the marriage.
In just five days, Beisha City was in turmoil, with all kinds of news and rumors flying around.
The most popular ones are the marriage of the fifth princess and the assassination of Prince Li.
"It is said that Prince Li was assassinated and is now on the verge of death!"
"Ah? Is his life at stake? Is the prince going to die?"
"Pah, pah, pah! Stop talking nonsense! I heard the latest news that the prince turned a disaster into a blessing. Not only did he escape a disaster, but even the remaining poison in his body was cleared!"
"Is this true? The prince was secretly poisoned, which resulted in mobility problems and he is confined to a wheelchair. If such a gifted person can recover, then our Tianqi will be even more confident!"
"Yes! If the prince had recovered before the peace talks, we wouldn't have to accept the Northern Di princess's marriage!"
"It is said that the Fifth Princess is the most beloved princess of the Northern Di Emperor and has considerable influence in Northern Di. She shouldn't cause any mischief when she comes to our Tianqi, right?"
"That's not clear. If she marries a powerful prince, he might be able to suppress her. But if he's weak and incompetent, who knows what this Fifth Princess will do..."
"Who do you think the Fifth Princess will choose?"
"I think it could be the Fourth Prince, or the Ninth Prince, but it can't be Prince Li!"
……
There are so many rumors out there that no one can tell how much of them are true or false.
Some people guessed it, but they could only watch things develop out of their control.
Zhen Mansion, after the eldest princess left, Baili Moyan became the owner of this house.
He smashed the tea set to pieces again.
"Seventh Brother's move was truly powerful. An assassination attempt allowed him to stand up openly. In the end, Aunt's probing move actually helped him!"
Rong Xia stood below and said, "Even if he stands up, it won't affect the overall situation. The emperor is always wary of him. Even if he returns to the capital, he won't give him real power. Your Highness can rest assured!"
"Besides, with the eldest princess paving the way for you, and the assistance of the fifth princess of Beidi, Your Highness's great cause will surely succeed!"
Baili Moyan glanced at him with admiration. His words resonated deeply with him. Fortunately, the Fifth Princess had chosen him as her partner. Otherwise, his trip would have been in vain!
"Your Majesty, we should return to the capital. The situation in Kyoto is not peaceful. Besides Prince Li, the Fourth Prince is resorting to various tactics. If we don't go back to consolidate the situation, I'm afraid we'll lose a lot of people in the court!"
Baili Moyan put his hands behind his back and kicked the broken porcelain pieces on the ground. "It's time to go back. Seventh Brother should be returning to Beijing soon. Once he goes back, those dormant forces in Kyoto will probably start to stir up trouble again. If we don't give them a good warning, they'll probably forget who's the boss in Kyoto!"
"Seventh brother, when I return to Beijing this time, I will definitely give you a big gift!"
Baili Moyan had a smug and mysterious smile on his face.
On the other side, after several days of repairs, Biluoyuan was finally habitable.
These days, Shu He always goes out early and comes back late. Yi'er was entrusted to Nanqi. Until the Biluo Courtyard was repaired and they moved back to Biluo Courtyard, Shu He did not show up.
Baili Moqing has been very irritable these days. Not only is Shu He nowhere to be seen all day, but even Yi'er is deliberately avoiding him.
He is now like a cold steamed bun that no one wants, and is despised everywhere.
"What on earth does that woman do all day? She just throws Yi'er to you and doesn't care about her anymore?"
"And you, don't you have anything to do all day? You're stuck with a child all day, doing nothing. How can you be a general? Just come back and take care of the child!"
In the study, Baili Moqing caught Nanqi and started scolding him, and Zhenli couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
It's simply a disaster.
"Master, you can't take your anger out on me just because Yi'er ignores you!"
Who told you to ask someone to call you dad out of the blue? Yi'er is so young, it would be strange if she could accept it!
Baili Moqing was so angry that he threw the book in his hand at him.
"How dare you talk back?! Go to the defense camp and train for ten hours!"
Nanqi pouted, "My injuries haven't fully healed yet, and you're torturing me like this! I'm going to complain to Yi'er!"
"you!!"
Baili Moqing was about to get angry, but he saw that Nanqi had already run away.
Ever since he learned that Baili Moqing was humiliated by Yier, Nanqi always felt like he was "raising his own status" in front of Baili Moqing.
Relying on Yi'er's support, he now dares to ignore his master's words. This status is worth bragging about for the rest of his life.
"Your Highness, so many days have passed, and you still haven't thought it through?" Zhenli spoke, picked up the book on the ground and put it on his desk.
You obviously care about others, but you always say some unpleasant words to irritate them.
If you do this, it would be strange if you get a good response!
"What else do I want? Haven't I said it clearly enough? What else should I say?" He even stood in front of his aunt and said that he would grant her the position of princess, but she still treated him coldly!
Every time he sees me, he has a sour face, as if he was the one who made the mistake!
Did he owe her?
What else does she want him to do?
"Your Majesty, perhaps you should change your methods and attitude..."
Before Zhenli could finish his words, he was interrupted by him, "Mind your own business! You talk like a love saint!"
Baili Moqing rolled his eyes at him and asked unhappily, "What's going on with that woman in the barracks? Don't you know that disguising yourself as a man and sneaking into a barracks is a capital offense?"
"You, know?" Zhenli's face turned pale and he felt annoyed.
That girl couldn't be driven away no matter how hard he tried, and he had no idea what to do!
"Except Nanqi, how many people in Biluoyuan don't know about this?"
Even that woman Shu He found out, and he still thought he had hidden it very well!
Zhen Li lowered his head, a look of determination showing on his face beneath the mask, "I will take care of this matter."
After hearing this, Baili Moqing's expression looked a little better.
After a while, he took the book that Zhenli had picked up from the ground and asked pretentiously, "What has that woman been busy with recently?"
Zhenli hesitated and took a long time to reply.
"She, she didn't do anything..." She just stayed outside his tent.
Baili Moqing was stunned, realizing that he had misunderstood, and was immediately speechless, "I was asking about Shu He, not your Yi Meir!"
"Ah?" Zhen Li's face flushed with embarrassment. "Shu, Miss Shu, she just went to Shenchuan Inn to get treatment. It seems she didn't do anything else."
"Have you found out who the patient is?"
"No, I haven't heard that anyone among the people Shen Chuan brought with her is seriously ill."
"This person must exist! Keep investigating!" Otherwise, Shen Chuan would not have come to Biluoyuan in person to pick him up.
But, with her skills, does she need to go there every day to treat an illness?
And I went there for so many days in a row!
"Besides treating illnesses, is there anything else you do? Have you been to other places or met other people?"
Zhen Li thought about it for a moment, and something really occurred to him, "Your Majesty, I think I saw Miss Shu go to see Mr. Sun these past two days."
"Sun Guimen?"
"Did she ask about the elevator?"
Zhen Li nodded. "I asked Mr. Sun, and he just said that Miss Shu went to find out about the progress of the elevator. He didn't say anything else."
Baili Moqing nodded and then asked, "Did Sun Guimen say when the elevator will be ready?"
The time she agreed with Shanwaigu is approaching. If the elevator cannot be built, given her personality, she might take a risk.
