Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen
Chapter 166 Even She Was Calculated
Feng Qingluan was stunned by his actions. She saw Xie Jin standing in front of her with a smile on his handsome face.
Feng Qingluan suppressed her inner excitement:
"Now that you're in, tell me, what's going on?"
Xie Jin kept it a secret:
"You are so anxious to know. It seems that you are not as indifferent as you appear to be. Are you afraid that I will give you an answer you don't want to hear?"
Feng Qingluan blinked, turned around and walked towards the bed:
"Don't say pull me down!"
She started to act like a spoiled brat, and Xie Jin walked over and pulled her into his arms.
Feng Qingluan bumped into his chest unexpectedly, almost screaming out loud, and punched him:
"What are you going to do? Be careful I yell?"
Xie Jin held her dishonest hand, the smile on his lips never stopping:
"I heard that when Xie Yan came to the Marquis' Mansion this morning, you wanted to kill him and injured him before letting him go. I also came to find you, but you were not that angry. Does it mean that I have a certain weight in your heart?"
Hearing his words, Feng Qingluan let out a deep breath:
"As expected, we are all surnamed Xie. We are confident and shameless."
After being insulted by her, Xie Jin still did not let go. Instead, he directly put her hand on his neck, wrapped his arms around Feng Qingluan's slender waist, and spoke gently about business:
"Actually, when I entered the palace..."
He told Feng Qingluan everything about how Prince Gaoyang and his wife came to see him today and what happened afterwards.
"I have promised that there will only be you in my life, and there will never be any other woman."
At the end, he spoke solemnly as if he was confessing again.
Feng Qingluan's cheeks flushed involuntarily.
She immediately understood the solution Xie Jin mentioned.
Things have turned out like this, and Emperor Xia Ming is the instigator, so he should indeed pay the price.
Seeing that she had figured it out, Xie Jin said:
"Prince Gaoyang and his wife did not receive a response, so they will not be able to resist going to the palace to ask for an explanation tomorrow. My people will also continue to put pressure on Emperor Xia Ming in the court. He must return the position of Chief Director of the Dali Temple that he had taken back this time."
Feng Qingluan nodded.
She had to admit that she was a little surprised by Xie Jin's counter-intuitive solution.
Thinking of a question, Feng Qingluan said:
"If the emperor agrees to your marriage proposal, won't you really have to marry Shang Yuwan? What will you do then?"
Xie Jin lowered his head and stared at her:
"I didn't think he wouldn't agree to it."
Feng Qingluan's temples were throbbing, and she said angrily:
"Are you so sure? Isn't this a gamble?"
Xie Jin nodded: "Yes, it's a gamble."
Feng Qingluan almost suffocated.
As expected of two brothers, they know each other's character very well.
But this time Emperor Xia Ming miscalculated. He thought he could control Xie Jin with public opinion, but he didn't expect that he would be outmaneuvered by Xie Jin and got himself involved.
Xie Jin's actions were even more daring. He didn't even prepare any back-up plans and just went to see Emperor Xia Ming.
But to be honest, there is no harm in Xie Jin marrying Shang Yuwan.
Emperor Xia Ming missed a trick that would lead him to agree, and Xie Jin saw through his thoughts, making him the one who fell into the trap.
Seeing Feng Qingluan lowering her head in deep thought, Xie Jin tempted her:
"Are you worried that I will really marry Shang Yuwan?"
When he mentioned this, Feng Qingluan raised her eyebrows, suddenly realized something, and her voice turned cold:
"In fact, when you went to the palace to find the emperor, besides testing him, you were also testing me? You want to know how I would react if I knew you were going to marry another woman, right?"
Feng Qingluan was angry.
Xie Jin killed two birds with one stone, taking advantage of this incident to include her in his plan.
Xie Jin knew that her attitude towards him was indifferent, and she seemed to be "forced" to ask the emperor for marriage because of the rumors, but in fact, he was using this to force her to see her own heart.
I came to see her tonight to see the test results.
She didn't drive him away, nor was she angry with him. He must have guessed what she was thinking.
Thinking of this, the anger in Feng Qingluan's eyes grew deeper and deeper.
What a bastard! He was so cunning and treacherous that even she fell into his trap!
Feng Qingluan was angry at herself for not living up to her expectations, and it was also because of this incident that she realized that she liked Xie Jin.
Xie Jin felt it and confirmed it.
Seeing that Feng Qingluan was really angry, Xie Jin immediately admitted his mistake and said:
"I was wrong. I didn't mean to test you. It just happened that I wanted to see how you would react. Now I know that you like me, so we can be considered to be in love with each other."
Feng Qingluan punched Xie Jin on the shoulder angrily:
"Who is in love with you? Go away, I don't want to see you."
She pushed Xie Jin away.
But how can it be pushed open?
Xie Jin hugged her tighter and rested his forehead against hers.
"Are you sure you don't want to see me?"
Feng Qingluan: "I don't want to see it, let's go."
In order to avoid the man, Feng Qingluan almost leaned back. Her sight suddenly turned and she saw Xie Jin picking her up and carrying her towards the bed.
"I want to see you, I won't leave."
He put Feng Qingluan on the bed, and lay down beside her. He pulled the quilt over her and covered her with it. His voice was extremely gentle:
"It's late at night, go to sleep."
He closed his eyes.
Feng Qingluan stared at his peaceful sleeping face in the dark night.
He probably didn't have a good rest these days since he came back from Cang County, and he looked a little tired.
Feng Qingluan thought gloomily, forget it, let’s not bother with these little things.
It was not a bad thing to realize her own feelings, she thought to herself, closed her eyes and fell asleep in a daze.
The next day.
Prince Gaoyang and his wife did not receive a reply from Xie Jin, so they sent someone to Prince Rong's mansion to inquire.
Xie Jin said that Emperor Xia Ming did not agree.
When he received this reply, King Gaoyang could not help but rush to the palace.
Still the same answer.
Emperor Xia Ming asked him to go back and wait for notice.
Prince Gaoyang was so angry that he lost his temper after returning to the palace.
Truth cannot be hidden, and Shang Yuwan also knew about the rumor.
When she learned that everyone in the capital was saying that her innocence had been destroyed, she was furious and upset;
When she heard that Xie Jin was willing to take responsibility for her and ask His Majesty for marriage, she was so happy that she could hardly contain herself.
But until a few days passed, she still hadn't received the emperor's decision, and Shang Yuwan's heart sank again.
The dramatic emotional changes brought about by extreme sorrow and joy caused her injuries to worsen.
Another five days passed.
News came from the palace that His Majesty had issued an imperial decree that no one was allowed to discuss the rumors in the capital any further.
Prince Rong and Princess Heyan risked their lives to rescue the trapped hostages in Cang County. It was originally a good deed to save the people from danger, but false rumors spread and damaged the reputation of the two.
In order to make up for the two, Emperor Xia Ming issued an imperial decree to grant Shang Yuwan the title of Princess Huining and a princess's mansion.
Xie Jin was rewarded for his contribution in saving lives, and upon the advice of court ministers, his post as chief executive of the Dali Temple was restored.
Not only did he lose his wife, but he also lost his army. His imperial teacher was killed, and Xie Jin took away the power he wanted. Emperor Xia Ming was so angry that he had been mad for several days. Finally, one day, he fainted in the Yangxin Palace due to anger, and asked Feng Qingluan to come to the palace to see him.
