In the Great Hall behind him, the emperor’s expression was somewhat unsightly.
He, the Emperor, was sitting here. He should have at least said his goodbyes before leaving. He had dragged him away without saying his goodbyes. This really made one gnash their teeth in hatred.
The Emperor looked at the Empress Dowager.”Mother,” he said,”why do you think Jiu Yuan is like this?”
The Empress Dowager retracted her gaze with great difficulty. She was completely shocked.
Was that her son? Since when was his son able to get close to a woman and even hold her hand without batting an eyelid?
Was it because she had been away from the capital for too long?
The Empress Dowager was still thinking in horror when she heard the emperor’s call and turned around.
“What’s wrong?”
The Empress Dowager asked in realization, not hearing the emperor’s words at all.
The emperor’s face was full of displeasure. They were both his mother’s sons, but the difference in treatment was too great. Or was it that he was the child carried by his mother, and Xiao Jiuyuan was the mother’s child?
When the Emperor thought of this, his heart was filled with unspeakable anger.
After the Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor, she thought of Xiao Jiuyuan’s poisoning and couldn’t help but worry,””I wonder how Jiu Yuan’s poison is? Can Princess Ling Yi cure it?”
After the Empress Dowager was done worrying, she thought of the person who poisoned Xiao Jiuyuan and her face was full of anger. She looked at the Emperor and said in a deep voice,””Emperor, investigate this matter properly for this widow. If you find out who did it, you won’t be let off easily. You must dismember this person’s body with five horses.”
The Emperor looked at the Empress Dowager with a complicated look in his eyes. In the end, he could only accept his fate and nod in agreement.
“I understand. I’ll send someone to investigate this matter. If there’s any situation, I’ll report it to Imperial mother immediately.”
“Alright,” he said.
The Empress Dowager nodded. When she looked up, she saw Xiao Tianyi kneeling in the hall. At the same time, she thought of what Xiao Jiuyuan had said before. The Empress Dowager couldn’t help but wonder,”does Xiao Tianyi like Princess Lingyi? that’s F * cking weird. No, I have to choose a concubine for Xuan Prince immediately. In addition, the Crown Prince and Huai Prince have not yet chosen a concubine, so it’s almost time to do so.”
The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor and Empress and said,””This widow is looking at the Crown Prince, Huai Prince, and Xuan Prince. They are not young anymore. It’s time for them to have concubines. It’s better to have them as soon as possible.”
The Empress Dowager’s words were what the Emperor had been thinking about recently, so when the Emperor heard the Empress Dowager’s words, he immediately nodded in agreement.
“Mother is right.”
The Emperor turned to look at Empress Chiang and slowly ordered,””The Empress immediately orders all the ministers to enter the palace for a banquet three days later. I want to choose a concubine for the princes.”
“Yes, chenqie understands.”
Empress Jiang stood up.
Your Highness, the Crown Prince and Prince Huai were quite happy, but Xuan Prince’s face was a little pale.
The reason why the Empress Dowager and the Emperor wanted to choose a consort for them was because he had previously asked for Yun Qianyu to abolish the Imperial edict.
Xiao Tianyi, the Xuan Prince, felt an indescribable sadness in his heart. He wanted to marry Yun Qianyu, but Yun Qianyu was still his ninth Imperial uncle’s fiancée.
How could Imperial father possibly betroth her to him? could it be that in the end, he was going to marry another woman as his imperial consort?
At this moment, Xiao Tianyi had completely forgotten about Yun qianxue, who was living in his mansion.
In the hall, there was another round of discussion, but they were all talking about the matter of the consort selection banquet three days later.
Outside the hall, Xiao Jiuyuan took Yun Qianyu to a secluded place.
Yun Qianyu struggled to get rid of Xiao Jiuyuan’s big hand, but unfortunately, Xiao Jiuyuan’s hand was like a pair of pliers.
Yun Qianyu’s face was ugly. Glaring at the back of Xiao Jiuyuan’s head, she said coldly,””Xiao Jiuyuan, let go.”
