Chapter 438 Fengyang Agrees to Engagement
Seven Princesses' Mansion
The nurse brought twins, a boy and a girl, to entertain the princess and her husband. Yan Xiu looked disgusted, but no one else saw it. Xiao Qing'er did.
"So? Your Highness doesn't like his own child? Does he like other children?" Xiao Qing'er asked
"Qing'er, what are you talking about? This is your child and mine. I love him so much that I can't wait to see him." Yan Xiu quickly expressed his feelings
Xiao Qing'er smiled softly: Yan Xiu, I wonder how long you can keep pretending.
"Take a rest tonight, and you will be able to leave the capital tomorrow morning."
"I hope everything goes smoothly this time. Big brother, do you think this guy from the General's Mansion can..."
"What are you thinking about? She was exiled on her own initiative, she is not a sinner."
"Brother..." Wen Jiu guessed that something unexpected would happen tonight, and he felt reluctant.
"Jiu'er, sister, take care of yourself. I will work harder to find evidence as soon as possible." Su Jinxiu had never felt so uncomfortable as he did at this moment.
"You can't tell anyone that you are a cultivator. Remember, it's more important to protect yourself," Su Jinxiu whispered in her ear.
Warm wine and smile without saying a word
After everyone had finished eating and were preparing to rest, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves.
"It's bandits, defend!" the officer shouted, causing the entire exile team to panic.
Bang!
In the quiet night, the shouting and killing finally calmed down, and someone finally stuck his head out and asked, "Officer, what happened?"
"Pack up, count the people, and hurry up!" The officer spat.
.................
"Su Family, Su Jinxiu"
.......
"Su Jinxiu"
"Su Jinxiu..."
"Sir, my Jinxiu rushed out just when the bandits came out, and he hasn't come back yet. Can you please help me find him?" Zhao's face was pale without a drop of blood.
"Count the bodies and check them," one of the officers shouted.
Zhao trembled slightly, Wen Jiu hurried over to grab her hand and whispered, "Aunt, my brother is still alive, remember to act"
Then Zhao's body froze and she cried out loudly, "Xiu'er, my son, where have you been? Come back quickly!"
Just like that, the bodies were counted and everyone was checked. Only one body matched Su Jinxiu. Zhao cried bitterly.
When Emperor Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but frown. Who was so impatient before leaving the capital?
Li Zongguan came to report that the evidence pointed to the imperial concubine...
Emperor Yuan smashed the memorial in his hand, and finally calmed down and summoned Prince Duan.

Inside Prince Yong's Mansion
"Father, how long are you going to keep me locked up?" Feng Yang shouted.
"An Ning... Miss Wen has been gone for a long time. Can we let her out?" Princess Yong was extremely distressed and discussed with Prince Yong outside the door.
"Forget it, open the door!" Prince Yong said to the guard, and the door creaked open.
"Everyone, go down."
The two went in and saw their daughter, who was angry, with messy hair and sad eyes.
"Don't blame father, it's just that Xiao Wangfu and the General's Mansion had accidents at the same time, I think Yong Wangfu is not far away. Father knows that Miss Wen is your best friend, and you have had hardships, but Fengyang, Yong Wangfu is like an isolated boat, and the slightest wind will cause the entire palace to fall into the abyss."
"I... just wanted to see her off. Can't I just take a look at her?" Feng Yang suddenly softened.
"No, it is the right thing to do. It is better for us to search for evidence quietly behind the scenes than to be watched in secret and exposed to the public. We don't know what crime we will be charged with. What do you think? Cough cough cough." After saying this, the King of Yong coughed a few times.
"Father, father, what's wrong with you?" Feng Yang casually brushed the hair off his face and rushed over.
"Your father, the cold wind has entered his body. He has been ill for quite some time since you were locked up." Princess Yong's face was filled with sorrow.
It was not until the next day that Fengyang took the initiative to wash up, greeted them and said, "Father, please let Li Yu come over and make the decision!"
She had been thinking about it all night and hadn't slept. Although she had made up her face carefully, the dark circles under her eyes were still not completely covered.
Princess Yong looked at her daughter with red eyes. Li Yu was so young and yet he was the head of the Ministry of Personnel. This showed his ability. Although he said he was willing to marry into the Yong Palace, they all knew that he was a popular figure around Emperor Yuan.
Prince Yong sighed
Is this the only way? My daughter has just been hurt, and now she is going to become a victim of the royal power struggle?
"Don't worry, father and mother. I just want a child to inherit Prince Yong's Mansion. I have no feelings for him. Don't worry, this is the best way I can think of." Feng Yang's eyes showed no joy.
Two days later, Emperor Yuan summoned Li Yu
"Lord Li, how are Prince Xiao, his concubine, and the second son doing in the clan residence now?"
"Your Majesty, everything is normal," Li Yu replied with a folded hand.
"Well, I don't want this either. Just eat and drink well and be served."
"Yes"
"I heard that Fengyang girl agreed?" Emperor Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes, I have finally come to this point after all the hardships I have endured." Li Yu's face was emotionless, as if he was doing his job impartially.
"Since you are happy, I will immediately ask the Ministry of Rites to get it done and treat her and the entire Prince Yong's Mansion well. Do you understand?" Li Yu naturally knew the deep meaning of Emperor Yuan's words.
"Your humble servant thanks His Majesty" Li Yu kneels down to express his gratitude
"I grant you a marriage. The 18th of next month is a good day. Get married as soon as possible." Li Yu frowned at her anxiety. He didn't say anything and could only continue to thank her.
"I will let the Ministry of Rites take full charge of your marriage. You can go down and go to Prince Yong's Mansion to wait for thanks!"
"Yes"
Prince Yong's Mansion
"Your Majesty, Li Yu is..."
"Your Majesty, Lord Li is here." The servant came to report
Feng Yang snorted and kept silent. He was indeed a good dog of Emperor Yuan. He must have gone to the palace to ask for a reward.
"Prince, Princess, Princess" Li Yu hadn't even had time to take off his official uniform. The handsome and elegant Minister of Personnel was really young and promising.
"What's the matter with you, Lord Li?" Prince Yong did not have any dissatisfaction. After all, they were going to become a family.
"The emperor asked me to come to Prince Yong's mansion to wait for the imperial decree. Thank you," Li Yu answered truthfully.
"Serve tea to Lord Li," Princess Yong ordered.
"…………" Feng Yang continued to drink tea without saying a word
Just when the atmosphere was awkward, Li Zongguan came with the imperial edict and rewards.
After reading the imperial edict, Fengyang took it and clenched her hands so tightly that her fingertips turned white. It seemed that she used a lot of force. However, Li Yu saw that this girl seemed to protest against this marriage with her own hands.
Finally had to bow my head
"The 18th of next month? Isn't it too late? There won't be enough time to prepare the dowry." Princess Yong was a little anxious.
"Princess, don't worry. The Emperor has asked the Ministry of Rites to take full charge of this marriage. You don't need to prepare a dowry. The imperial edict says that Lord Li is willing to marry into the Yong Palace. Princess Yong will have to pay a bit of the betrothal gift, but the Emperor has asked the Ministry of Rites to make up the rest," Chief Steward Li hurriedly replied.
Willing to marry into the family? She's really willing to do it.
