Chapter 40 Marriage

Fuwan tossed and tossed for a long time, and finally taught the little prince Helan the trick of Sapo.The little prince was skeptical, and said to try it at home, but it might not work, because Prince Xian had several concubines besides the concubine, and the concubine didn't have much to say to him.

Speaking of which, of Prince Xian's three legitimate sons, only Song Helan is unmarried.Song Helan refused to marry, and those concubines wished that their sons could replace them with their own bodies. Unfortunately, as a bastard, they couldn't compete with God Ji anyway, so they could only think about it.

Just as Fu Wan chatted with him, the door was pushed open again, and this time a gloomy man walked in, with two locks of prematurely aging white hair tied around his temples—it was Xu Zhilan.He entered the room, glanced at the broken teacup on the ground, and bowed expressionlessly: "Little prince."

Song Helan saw that he seemed to be a little frightened, so he didn't play any tricks anymore, and just said, "This king didn't do anything."

"Well," Xu Shaoqing replied casually, "Your Highness still needs to rest, please go back, my little prince."

Song Helan didn't care, she got up and jumped over the broken tiles, shook her hands and walked out the door.His servants also hurriedly squeezed out, only Xu Zhilan and Fuwan were left in the room, and it became quiet again.

Fu Wan cupped his hands: "Thank you, my lord, for making the rescue."

Xu Zhilan glanced at her, didn't say much, and called someone to come in to clean up the debris and replace the tea set with a new one, before he said flatly: "Your Majesty, leave."

Fu Wan stared at his leaving back and thought.Xu Zhilan didn't seem like someone who was busy taking care of things, this time he came here in a hurry, probably someone ran to inform him.She also thought of Zui Niang, who was squatting outside the house just now, she must have misunderstood something when she heard the sound of broken porcelain, so she went to call someone.

She pushed open the window and glanced down, but it was empty.

Besides, when the little prince was going home this trip, Zhiman was hesitant to roll up his sleeves and prepare to make a big fuss.Fu Wan thought that there should be news soon - no matter whether it is good or bad, he will always come to her for ventilation.

Sure enough, some news came the next day, but it was not Song Helan who told her, but Zui Niang.

"There's a big accident in Beijing, don't you know?" The drunken lady stared at her with her round black eyes, "The eldest son of Prince Xian's mansion stepped on the bridge and fell down last night."

Fu Wan stood up suddenly: "What? Which prince?"

"It's just the little prince who came yesterday. It is said that he fell very hard and he still hasn't woken up." The drunken lady looked at her expression carefully, "Why, are you unhappy?"

Fu Wan was inexplicable: "Why should I be happy?"

The drunken lady smiled flatteringly: "Yes, but he bullied you."

"How could he bully me?" Fu Wan shook his head, calmed down his thoughts, and felt that it seemed too coincidental.

The drunken lady persisted and asked: "He forced you to marry him, isn't that considered bullying?"

Fu Wan raised his forehead: "It's not that he forced me—" She stopped halfway through the explanation, and said helplessly, "Forget it, I don't understand this matter. How is his condition?"

The drunken lady said in a soft voice that the unlucky young prince fell half to death, and the prince invited the imperial doctor in the palace to make a diagnosis and treatment overnight, but he only survived.

I took a breath, that is, I haven't died yet.Fu Wan stood up irritably and walked around, suddenly having a bad premonition.

Sure enough, an imperial decree with a seal was sent that night, ordering her and Song Helan to marry on a date as soon as possible, to congratulate the little prince.Fu Wan almost laughed angrily, the two of them have never been engaged before, what kind of shitty engagement is it?And this seal, everyone knows that the emperor is half dead, so how can he draw up an imperial decree?Prince Xian's wolf ambition, this time it's a shame, he doesn't even bother to do superficial work.

Fu Wan did not accept the order, and said coldly: "I want to see the face of the palace." No matter what, she had to find a way to sneak into the palace, whether it was to find the sick emperor or the missing queen, she could always rely on more than one person. .

It was a strange eunuch who came to announce the decree. Hearing the words, he said impatiently: "Your Highness, don't embarrass our family. There is really no way around this matter. You should take the decree and prepare well."

Fu Wan raised his eyelids, his gaze was so sharp that he frightened the eunuch so much that his heart skipped a beat.She said: "Marriage is an important matter, the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents. If you go overboard and take care of it, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will come back and blame you?"

The eunuch bravely replied to her: "Your Highness should also know who is in charge of Beijing now."

Fu Wan stood up abruptly and directly forced the man back half a step.She sneered coldly: "Gu is very clear. However, people say that it depends on the long-term, but Gu wants to see it. When we get married, is the 'father' going to help his daughter-in-law, or is he just helping you as an eunuch?" ?”

"You—" the corner of the eunuch's lips trembled, and he gave a smile that was uglier than crying, begging for mercy, "Your Highness, the prince really has nothing to say to our family. Otherwise, our family will send a message for you, can you It can't be up to you, what do you think?"

Fu Wan stared at him for a while, seeing that he was sweating profusely, so he probably wasn't lying. "Thank you, Lord Ron." She finished speaking casually, pulled the imperial decree and threw it on the table, waving for people to leave.

The eunuch was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, so he didn't dare to pick on etiquette, and he ran away like a ghost chasing after him.

Fu Wan finally let out a little bit of anger, but the facts were still not optimistic, and he knew that Prince Xian would not let her into the palace easily.It's late at night now, and when it dawns tomorrow, she still has to find a way to see if she can sneak into the palace.

She was once born and secondly familiar with the attack of Gu poison, although it was still in pain, now she was able to get through it calmly lying on the bed.The mysterious man hadn't been here for several nights, until the middle of the night, Fu Wan vaguely heard a sound from the window.With the dim candlelight, she opened her eyes and saw a vague white figure sitting by the table at some point.

The man sat quietly, casting a dim and unclear gaze at her.

Fu Wan stared at her for a while, but couldn't hold back his consciousness, and fell into darkness again.When I woke up at daylight, there was no one else in the house, the windows were closed, and there was only the burnt candle tears on the table.

As usual, the drunken lady brought some food for lunch.The man came, but his face was puffed up, and he looked unhappy.

Fu Wan asked casually, but seeing that she refused to speak, he didn't ask further.With Prince Xian's flamboyant personality, news of her marriage may have spread throughout the capital, and it is normal for the drunken lady to be unhappy when she hears it.

Fuwan himself might as well be anxious before, after all, there is an even worse excuse - Song Helan fell into that ghostly state, it is basically impossible to do anything to her, marriage is just a formality, there is nothing to panic about, and there will be more after that Ways to dissolve the engagement.

The more she thought about it, the more she even speculated that she would go to the palace to pay her respects as usual on the day after her wedding, and she might have a chance to find the missing empress.She was so preoccupied with thinking about herself that she didn't notice that the drunken mother's eyes gradually became gloomy.

Suddenly, Fuwan felt a pain in his wrist, but it was the drunken lady who held her tightly.She grabbed it so hard that five thin white fingers almost dug into her flesh.

Fu Wan frowned: "Hiss, what are you doing?"

The drunken lady tilted her head: "Are you happy to marry into the palace?"

"What?" Fu Wan didn't bother to listen to what she said, she gritted her teeth and tried to break her hand away, "It hurts, you let it go first—"

The drunken lady let go as she said, and smiled strangely: "I still think you are not afraid of pain?"

Fu Wan finally sensed something was wrong: "What are you talking about?"

The drunken lady drooped her eyes for a moment, and when she raised her head again, she had recovered her gentle smile: "It's nothing, did it hurt you, I'm sorry."

The two got a little stiff, and the drunken lady quickly walked out of the courtyard with her basket in hand.Fu Wan rubbed her wrists, sat down at the table again, and before she could figure out why, an unexpected visitor came.

Lin Ruhui didn't know what happened today, he walked in a hurry, his face was tense, even the usual smile was gone.

Fu Wan couldn't help teasing her: "Although Gu is going to get married, you don't need to look like a concubine, are you afraid that Chu Heng will be jealous?"

Lin Ruhui glanced over, but didn't answer, and said with a heavy heart: "How much do you know about Xu Zhilan?"

"Xu Shaoqing?" Fuwan thought about it for a moment, "He seems to be related to Bai Yujing's Xu family. However, the Xu family has already collapsed—cooperating with Prince Xian to embezzle disaster relief funds and resell jade. The matter was revealed. The city lord is in prison."

"It's not this, it's his private business."

Fuwan froze for a moment, but didn't understand.

Lin Ruhui spread out the page of paper in his hand and showed it to her.Fu Wan glanced at it, it was the marriage letter she got from Mrs. Baidie that day.

"The woman is the eldest daughter of Mrs. Baidie, who is the later concubine Dingyuanhou. Have you read the man's birth date carefully?" Lin Ruhui paused and said, "Yes, at first I thought it was Dingyuanhou too. Prince. Don’t worry, I checked again, and there was a problem with this investigation.”

Fu Wan raised his eyes: "It's not Dingyuan Hou Shizi."

"No." Lin Ruhui took out another piece of paper and pushed it in front of her, "I compared all the rich and powerful children of the same age in the whole capital, and none of them matched. It was only later that I remembered that you told me that the Shaoqing of Dali Temple had something to do with Bai Yujing , took a little effort to get his horoscope, you see—”

The horoscopes recorded on the two pieces of paper are exactly the same.Fu Wan was stunned.

——Birth horoscopes include the year, month, and day. There are four pillars in total. Is it possible for two different people to have the same horoscope?It's certainly possible, but it's extremely rare.

Fu Wan took a deep breath: "The man on this paper is Xu Zhilan? Did the Crown Princess ever have a marriage contract with him?"
