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

Eunuch Li was about to open his mouth but was stopped by the Emperor before he could say anything.

"Wait... just call Mo Ran and ask him to go with me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Li trotted out.

Mo Ran was just outside the hall and walked in upon hearing the words.

"Meet the Emperor!"

"Stand up! You accompany me to Wu'an Marquis's mansion. I want to see Wu'an Marquis Jiang Weiyang. I heard that he can stand up now."

"As you wish." Mo Ran said and stood up.

Li Ying walked out of the hall and said, "Eunuch Li, change my clothes for me. I really can't wear the dragon robe."

After the palace maids changed Li Ying's clothes, Li Ying took Mo Ran and the two went to Wu'an Marquis' Mansion.

The guards and servants at the gate of the marquis's mansion had all met Li Ying. When Li Ying got off the carriage, the guards and servants knelt down and then took them directly to Jiang Weiyang's study.

Jiang Weiyang was feeling happy in his study. When he heard that the emperor was coming, he was shocked and quickly slid his wheelchair outside to greet him.

"Your Majesty, I, Jiang Weiyang, the Marquis of Wu'an, am here to see you. I was unaware that you were coming and failed to greet you. I beg your forgiveness."

"Wei Yang, no need to be so polite. Let's go to your study and talk."

"Your Majesty, please~"

The two of them came to the study, and the others waited outside the door.

"Wei Yang, can you really stand up?"

"Your Majesty, look."

Jiang Weiyang held the crutches and struggled to stand up little by little. He practiced a few times before the emperor came. Although he didn't know if he used it correctly, he was itching to do it while waiting for Su Qing to come back, so he tried it a few times.

Li Ying was extremely surprised when he saw Jiang Weiyang standing up with the help of that thing.

"Wei Yang, what is this thing? How can two or three people support you?"

"I only know that this thing is called a crutch. It was drawn by Su Qing, and I sent someone out to find someone to make it. But I don't know how to use it now. When Su Qing comes back later, she will tell me how to use this crutch. I believe that in some time, I will be able to walk."

"Hahaha, I underestimated Su Qing before. I didn't expect her to be so capable and have good medical skills. You really didn't make a mistake in choosing her. When you get married, I will give you another big gift."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Su Wanrong learned from the servants that the emperor had come to the Marquis's Mansion and was pacing back and forth in the room, looking flustered.

Seeing this, her personal maid stepped forward and reminded, "Miss, let's hurry up and pack so that we can go and pay our respects to the Emperor."

"Yes, yes, my mother has told me that if I can see the emperor, I must dress up nicely. Come, help me put on my makeup."

The maids quickly helped Su Wanrong change her clothes and dress her up.

Su Wanrong remembered that when she was boating on the lake with the emperor, the emperor said that she looked good in white clothes, so she specially changed into a white dress embroidered with peach blossoms, and wore a jade hairpin and matching earrings, making her look fresh and refined.

When Su Wanrong saw herself in the bronze mirror, she smiled with satisfaction and walked out with graceful steps. Two maids followed behind her. From a distance, she looked like a fairy descending to earth, with her hair gently fluttering as she walked.

Li Ying and Jiang Weiyang had just walked out of the study after talking when they saw a slender figure in the corridor slowly walking towards them.

As it was quite far away, Li Ying could not see clearly who it was, but he saw that the figure was nice and slender. The white clothes outlined her perfect curves. But she did not look like Su Qing in height, so he thought Jiang Weiyang had another house!

"Wei Yang is living a good life! Has he got another beauty?"

"What does the emperor mean?"

Li Ying raised his head in the direction of Su Wanrong. Jiang Weiyang looked in the direction Li Ying was looking and saw Su Wanrong walking towards them. The emperor didn't see her face clearly and didn't know who she was, but Jiang Weiyang knew.

"How could I have a beautiful lady in my situation? She is Su Qing's fourth sister, Su Wanrong, the fourth lady of the General's Mansion. She has been staying at the Marquis' Mansion recently."

"Oh? It's her? Wei Yang, what seat do you think is suitable for her?"

After hearing what the emperor said, Jiang Weiyang didn't know how to respond for a moment.

First, he is just a minister, not the emperor's brother; second, Su Wanrong is not as smart as Su Qing. Once she offends the emperor, it will affect the entire body; third, the emperor's intentions are unpredictable. Who knows what will happen one day?

"What's wrong, Wei Yang? Don't you support the General's Mansion?"

Jiang Weiyang didn't know whether the emperor was testing him or not.

"That depends on whether the emperor likes this person. I will only support the emperor. Whoever the emperor wants to support, I will support."

"You are always so careful with your words. There is nothing wrong with what comes out of your mouth."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Li Ying shook his head helplessly. He really trusted Jiang Weiyang now. It was a pity that although Jiang Weiyang supported him and stood on his side, he was the emperor after all, so he didn't dare to speculate on the emperor's intentions.

While Li Ying was thinking, Su Wanrong had already walked over.

"Your humble servant Su Wanrong pays respects to His Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness!"

"Get up quickly, be careful not to catch a cold."

Su Wanrong stood up and looked at Jiang Weiyang again, "Greetings, Lord Marquis."

Jiang Weiyang nodded. He didn't want to pay any attention to this woman.

"I don't know when Your Majesty came. I just heard from the servants that you were here, so I hurried over." Su Wanrong said as she walked forward, accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt, and then threw her whole body towards the emperor.

When Li Ying saw Su Wanrong rushing towards him, he subconsciously reached out to catch her, and just like that, Su Wanrong threw herself into the emperor's arms.

She had always been fond of Li Ying, and now that Li Ying had become the emperor, she would not miss the opportunity.

When Su Qing walked into the courtyard, she happened to see the whole process of Su Wanrong throwing herself at the emperor. She couldn't help but raise her lips. The emperor must have seen through her poor acting skills, but which man would refuse a woman who threw herself at him?

Su Wanrong was being held by the emperor at this time, her face flushed. She slowly came out of the emperor's arms, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Please forgive me. I accidentally stepped on the hem of my skirt, which is why I am like this!"

"It's okay. You are my person. Before the late emperor passed away, it was decided that I would marry you. Because I am still in mourning, I have delayed the marriage. You can follow me into the palace today! Are you willing?"

Su Wanrong was frightened by the emperor's words. If she followed the emperor into the palace, what would she be? If she wanted to be the queen, she would have to marry me in a formal way. She couldn't just follow the emperor without knowing it clearly. But how could she refuse the emperor? If she refused, would the emperor no longer want her?

Li Ying saw that Su Wanrong was slow to answer and thought she was unwilling to do so. Just as he was about to leave, Su Qing's voice rang out.
