The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

"Your son Li Ying accepts the imperial edict." Li Ying took the imperial edict and looked at Mo Ran. Mo Ran took out a bag of silver and gave it to Eunuch Zhang.

Eunuch Zhang took the silver and put it in his arms.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness, the Prince of Pingnan. If you are all right, please follow me into the palace!"

"Eunuch Zhang, go with Mo Ran to have a cup of tea before leaving. I will also go change my clothes and pack up."

"Then Your Highness must go and come back quickly, and don't keep the Emperor waiting for too long. I am indeed thirsty, so I would like to ask Your Highness for a cup of tea." After saying this, Eunuch Zhang followed Mo Ran away.

"Wei Yang, this matter is now in your hands. Remember not to delay and hand it over to my uncle in person. I will ask my mother to pass on the message to you in the palace. Tonight will definitely not be peaceful. You don't have to worry about anything. Go back today and set off early tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Your Highness, rest assured. I will personally deliver the letter to General Wei."

Li Ying nodded, turned and left.

Jiang Weiyang hurried back home to discuss the matter with the old marquis.

In the study, the old marquis took the letter and took a look at it.

"Yun Jing, have you thought it through? Do you want to lend a helping hand to King Pingnan?"

"Father, now our choices are either the Crown Prince or the Prince of Pingnan. No other princes are acceptable. The Crown Prince is arrogant and extravagant, and is not capable of such a great responsibility. He can only follow the Prince of Pingnan."

"Then you shouldn't go into danger! What if the Prince of Pingnan uses you to threaten the General's Mansion? Threatening the General's Mansion is threatening the Prime Minister's Mansion. Father is worried about you."

"Father, don't worry. Although the King of Pingnan is cruel by nature, he is brave and resourceful. He will definitely be a wise ruler in the future. The King of Pingnan is in need of people, so how can I refuse? If he didn't trust me, he wouldn't have entrusted me with such an important matter. I will leave secret guards and bodyguards at home. After I leave, father must guard the mansion well."

"Of course, you can go without worrying about it. Take care of yourself and adapt to the situation!"

"Report to the master~" Rufeng stood outside the study and knocked on the door gently.

"Is there something urgent?"

"My Lord, a secret guard just came to report."

"Come in and talk."

Rufeng pushed the door open, walked in, and closed the door again.

"Master, the secret guards reported that the prince was assassinated on the way back to the prince's mansion!"

"What? Did the secret guard tell me how badly the prince was injured? Do you know who did it?"

"My Lord, I didn't say anything."

"How long has it been going on?"

"Half an hour has passed."

"Father, the imperial decree was issued half an hour ago to let the crown prince be regent, and now something happened to the crown prince. Someone must have been prepared."

The old marquis thought for a long time before speaking: "Could it be the work of the Prince of Pingnan?"

"I don't think so, because at that time I was still in Prince Pingnan's Palace, and Your Highness didn't meet anyone."

"Then send some well-informed people to investigate. See how serious the prince's injury is so that you can make preparations."

"Father, I'm going to go out for a while. Please be careful."

"It's okay. Although I'm old, I'm not someone a few minions can easily deal with."

"My child, please leave."

Jiang Weiyang took Rufeng out of the old marquis' study.

"Rufeng, ask Leng Ao Leng Ze to come to the study to see me!"

"Yes, master."

Jiang Weiyang came to the study, put the letter from King Pingnan in a thin bamboo tube and hid it around his waist.

There was a knock on the door, and Jiang Weiyang thought it was Leng Ao Lengze who came. He was wondering why he came so quickly.

"Come in~"

Su Qing pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing that it was Su Qing, Jiang Weiyang stood up and asked, "But is Nian'er feeling unwell?"
