The character design collapsed! The general's sick beauty is a killer

Chapter 5 It’s hard to argue

The red walls and yellow tiles of the palace blocked the wealth and splendor inside the walls, but they could not block the rumors outside the city.

General Ningyuan defeated Beidi, recovered 11 cities including Beijun, Pingnan, Andong, etc. He made great military exploits and gained a high prestige in the hearts of the people. The celebration banquet held in the palace attracted the attention of many people. Everyone wanted to

I know how the emperor will reward this twenty-year-old war hero.

After waiting and waiting, the news about General Ning Yuan did not come out, but the romantic deeds of the third prince spread like wildfire.

It was heard that the third prince got drunk at a palace banquet and was having an affair with Tang Min, the eldest daughter of Uncle Xian Chang, but was caught on the spot by Concubine Yan.

And Concubine Yan is also the biological mother of the third prince.

I heard that the scene in the house was extremely tragic. The two of them were fighting from the bed to the table, and cups and fruits were scattered all over the floor. When Concubine Yan and the countess led a group of people to open the door, they saw exactly this scene.

I heard that the two eunuchs did not separate the two people.

I also heard that the Pei family had gone to Earl Xianchang's Mansion to cancel their engagement...

At dawn in the morning, Tang Xi was called to the study.

Yesterday, Tang You hurriedly sent her and Tang Shu back to the palace and then returned to the palace. Baozhen said that they came back from the palace in the middle of the night.

Tang Min and the third prince both insisted that they had been drugged. The emperor sent people to check the drinks, aromatherapy and other suspicious items at the banquet. There was nothing abnormal. He decided that it was an excuse for the two of them. Long Yan was furious. Fortunately, everyone supported the third prince.

The ministers took turns to plead for mercy, saying that His Highness is young and energetic, and it is human nature to have sex after drinking. Now that the matter has come to this, the Third Prince will take Tang Min into the palace and be responsible to the end.

Tang Xianchang was unmoved at first, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. When he heard the last sentence, he immediately knelt down on his knees with tears in his eyes, saying that he had no way to teach his daughter. How could he enter the backyard of His Highness the Third Prince with such shamelessness? He was willing to let her lead her in practice.

, for the rest of his life, the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng would not step foot into the imperial city. He even kowtowed heavily, hoping that His Majesty would fulfill his wish.

The emperor was shaken for a moment. He did not expect that Xian Changbo, who had always had no sense of existence, could be so upright and strict.

But except for the old emperor, everyone present was not a thousand-year-old fox. Even if they were beaten to death, they would not believe Tang Xianchang's nonsense.

After so many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, they can guess today's events with their eyes closed.

Tang Xianchang belongs to the crown prince, so the person he has to deal with today is naturally the third prince. However, the plan he set up at the beginning must not have been like this, injuring the enemy by a thousand and himself at a loss of eight hundred. Presumably, someone else messed up some of the links in the process, which led to the current situation of stealing.

It's an embarrassing situation where the chicken loses the rice.

To blame or blame him for being too clever, this kind of thing is not uncommon in Dayu, it can be big or small, but he was too confident in himself, found too many family members, and even invited Concubine Yan, in full view of everyone

It's hard not to alarm the emperor.

With what happened today, the Earl of Xianchang's Mansion has already trampled the Pei family's face to the ground. The marriage between the two families will definitely be over, and if it is not kept intact, the Pei family will be resented.

The emperor is so confused now. The appointment of the crown prince is just around the corner. The princelings and the three princes are fighting fiercely. If he marries his daughter to the third prince again, the prince will be suspicious and will kick him immediately. The third prince will definitely retaliate.

How could he be kind to him today? By then, he would be attacked from three sides, and it would be like trying to survive in the cracks in Dayu's officialdom.

Therefore, he would rather his daughter never set foot in the capital city for the rest of her life, and would never let her marry into the third prince's courtyard.

He made a good calculation. The three princes did not want to miss this opportunity, but seeing that the emperor was already moved at this time, after weighing the pros and cons, they all lowered their heads and remained silent.

It doesn't matter to the third prince whether he marries or not, but if he disobeys His Majesty's wishes at this time and makes His Majesty unhappy, it will be detrimental to the immediate competition for the heir apparent.

I'm afraid I'll let this old fox take advantage of the loophole again today.

"Your Majesty," Jian Chijin, who had been standing silently in the corner, suddenly said, "Uncle Xianchang's eldest daughter is only seventeen years old. It would be cruel to have only the ancient Buddha with a green lantern for the rest of her life. In my humble opinion, it is better to live with the three

When a prince gets married, it can also demonstrate the emperor's benevolence and righteousness."

Jian Chijin's status in the heart of the Emperor is now unmatched by anyone, and what happened today happened at his celebration banquet. The Emperor agreed with his proposal in every possible way, and also thought that the third prince was missing a concubine, so they hit it off and immediately came down.

The purpose is to grant marriage to the two.

The position of concubine did not wrong Xian Changbo's daughter.

At this point, yesterday's events have all come to an end.

Tang Xi was led into the study by the servant. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Tang Xianchang sitting on the main seat, his eyes were black and blue, he must have been awake all night last night. Tang You stood quietly on one side, feeling a little depressed.

"Xi'er, you must already know what happened yesterday." Tang Xianchang tried his best to control his tone, but the anger in his voice was still obvious.

Tang You frowned and looked at Tang Xi worriedly.

Tang Xi's thin shoulders shook, he lowered his head and said softly: "My daughter knows."

"Your mother told me that she sent you to that guest room at that time," Tang Xianchang stared at her closely. The man with always kind-hearted eyebrows now had a gloomy look on his face. "Why was Tang Min the last person in the room?"

Tang Xi blinked and looked at him with wet eyes in disbelief, her voice choked with heartbreak, "Father, you mean, the person in the room should be me, so I should be humiliated by the third prince?"

"Xi'er, that's not what father meant," Tang Xianchang rubbed his eyebrows. He was feeling irritable now, but seeing Tang Xi's trembling shoulders, he tried to calm down his tone, "Father feels that something is fishy and wants to give you a big sister."

An explanation.”

Tang Xi sobbed a few times and said softly: "Yesterday, after my mother helped me to that room, I fell asleep. When I woke up again, I found myself on the bed in another room. My daughter was very scared and heard the noise outside.

My daughter pushed out the room and ran out, and she happened to see her elder brother looking for me, so I was sent back to the house with my second sister. My daughter didn't know what happened in the meantime."

Tang Xianchang had a headache. What she said did not provide him with any useful clues, "Xi'er, think about it again, did anyone else come in the middle room? Or did you hear any strange noises? You were moved to another room.

, don’t you feel anything at all?”

"No," Tang Xi pinched the handkerchief and blamed herself, "It's true that Xi'er is useless and can't even help his father." At the end of the sentence, tears fell on the carpet at his feet.

Tang Xianchang rubbed his temples irritably. He no longer had the energy to comfort her, so he waved to Tang You impatiently.

Tang You walked to Tang Xi, bent down slightly, his eyes were level with hers, wiped the tears on her cheeks with a handkerchief, and whispered softly: "Xi'er, don't cry, my father just wants to find the real murderer, how can I blame you?"

Well, your health is not good, and you must have been frightened last night. My brother has asked the kitchen to stew ginseng and black-bone chicken soup for you. You go back, drink a bowl while it is hot, and have a good sleep, do you understand?"

"Yeah." Tang Xi nodded obediently with red eyes, bowed to Tang Xianchang again, turned around and left. Halfway through, she turned around again and said, "Father, my daughter feels something is wrong."

Tang Xianchang raised his eyes, walked quickly down from the main seat, held her hand, and asked urgently, "What's wrong?"

Tang Xi bit her lower lip, hesitated for a long time, and finally made up her mind and said: "My daughter always felt that what happened yesterday was because of me. The food prepared for my daughter at the palace banquet yesterday was ginger honey water, and she didn't know how to drink it.

Drunk, but my daughter became dizzy after just a few drinks and lost all strength. She entered the room and fell asleep. My daughter suspected that the ginger honey water was drugged."

She raised her eyes, with tears still hanging on her eyelashes. Her little hands were cold, weak and helpless, "Father, Xi'er is so scared."

A trace of guilt flashed through Tang Xianchang's eyes, and he patted the back of her hand gently, and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, Xi'er, my father will definitely find out the troublemaker behind the scenes. Listen to your brother, go back and drink some ginseng soup to replenish your health. Take good care of yourself."

Get some sleep and don't worry."

"Father, please pay more attention to your health. Xi'er has retired." Tang Xi bowed his head and left with Tang Xianchang's guilt.

Only the father and son were left in the house.

Tang Xianchang sat on a chair casually and dejectedly. His long hair, which was always meticulously combed, had a few strands scattered around, and his head was lowered, showing no trace of his former style.

"Father, the emperor's marriage decree will be delivered soon. Please go back to your room and tidy up your appearance." Tang You said.

Tang Xianchang suddenly raised his head and stared at Tang You like an eagle. The cold light in his eyes made people panic, "Did you do this?"

Tang You froze. Knowing that he was testing him, he quickly knelt down and said seriously: "I have been following my father yesterday and did not leave half a step away. How can I get the third prince drunk? What's more, most of my men are

My father's people will report anything I do to him, so how can I hide it from my father's eyes?"

Tang Xianchang looked at his expression and saw no flaws. He raised his hand and told him to get up.

"Using my hand to deal with the third prince and dragging me down, this person is either a neutralist or a princeling who wants to step on me to ascend to power."

Now the only ones who remain neutral in the court are a few pedantic old men and Jian Chijin, and there are countless people in the princelings who want to step on Tang Xianchang's position.

I don't know how many people are jealous of him who has climbed to the position of earl he is today.

But he was jealous because those people couldn't quietly change things and cause him such a big mistake.

"This matter is most likely the work of Jian Chijin." Tang Xianchang said with a gloomy face.

Although Tang You also suspected Jian Chijin, there was one thing he didn't understand: "Why did he bother to replace Xi'er with Min'er?"

Tang Xianchang shook his head. He couldn't figure this out, "Unless he has a grudge against the Pei family. This move is to slap the Pei family in the face."

But when did Jian Chijin become involved with the Pei family?

There was also the aromatherapy in the stove, and the effect was much stronger than originally intended. He sent someone to check it privately, and there was no difference from the original.

There were many doubts, but Tang Xianchang couldn't find any clues and could only watch the imperial decree being issued. He didn't even have the chance to appeal at the end.
