Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

When she returned to the Marquis' Mansion, she saw someone waiting for her in the main hall. Feng Qingluan walked over:

"When did the Second Prince come?"

There were large dark circles under Fan Yehua's eyes, probably because he had been worried and troubled about Xie Yu's matter in recent days.

He had been waiting for half an hour, and when he saw Feng Qingluan coming back, he perked up:

"Not long. Today I'm here to say goodbye."

"Are you ready to leave the capital?"

Fan Yehua nodded: "Yesterday, Yueting and I went to the palace to see our mother for the last time. Yueting was very sad. The capital is a sad place for us. I am worried about her and want to take her back to Huaibei."

Although Feng Qingluan was related to his mother's death, it was his mother who ordered Chi Ji to kill so many innocent people. He did not have any resentment towards Feng Qingluan and just wanted to follow his heart and see her for the last time.

After we say goodbye today, I'm afraid we will never meet again in this life.

Feng Qingluan's tone also became heavy:

"I have nothing to say about your mother. If you blame me, I have nothing to say."

Fan Yehua shook his head: "I don't blame you. My mother made a big mistake, and she should bear the consequences herself. The emperor said that my mother's death should be kept secret, and the news will be announced to the world two months later. She will be buried in Yihua Mountain."

Chi Ji was the real murderer in the venomous snake case. Emperor Xia Ming announced the result and hung his head in the vegetable market to give an explanation to the people.

No matter what mistakes he made, he was still Yue Ting's biological father. He sent someone to steal his head and buried it.

The emperor should have known that it was them who did it, but he did not pursue the matter.

Fan Yehua looked sad, and Feng Qingluan didn't know how to comfort him:

"I owe you a favor. Have you decided what I should do?"

Fan Yehua smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"That's not a favor. My mother wanted to kill you, and I just stopped her from committing more sins. You don't have to take it to heart. You don't owe me anything."

Feng Qingluan was silent. Fan Yehua's eyes fell on her reluctantly. He looked at her deeply for a while, then stood up and said:

"That's all I have to say. I'm taking Yue Ting back to Huaibei. The emperor promised me that I won't make her life story public. I also ask you and Prince Rong to keep the secret for me so that she can stay by my side and be the noble fourth princess of Huaibei."

The news of the Queen Mother's death will be transmitted back to Huaibei in a few months. Since she died of illness, it should be easier for my brother and third sister to accept it.

As for Chi Ji's death, he had also thought about how to explain it.

The identity of the queen mother was related to the marriage between Daxia and Huaibei. It was for this reason that Emperor Ming of Xia agreed to keep the secret.

After all, if my brother knew that my mother was sentenced to death by Emperor Xia Ming, I don’t know what he would do.

"See you soon!"

Fan Yehua cupped his hands.

Feng Qingluan said: "Take care."

In the next few days, Feng Qingluan took her grandparents and uncle's family to various places in the capital to travel.

Originally, her grandparents came to Beijing to attend her and Xie Jin's wedding, and planned to return to Jiangnan before the end of the year. However, Xie Yu was still there at that time, and Feng Qingluan was worried that they would be targeted by Xie Yu and there would be risks on the way, so she didn't dare to let them set off.

The New Year passed in a flash, and March was the anniversary of my mother's death.

After Yun Hui died, she was buried with Feng Qian in Baihua Mountain. Her grandparents had to stay there and leave after offering sacrifices.

Feng Qingluan has also made up her mind to personally escort her grandparents back to Jiangnan and visit her uncle there as well.

Time passed quickly. On the tenth day, Xie Yan went to Fengyi Palace to visit Zhaoyang, and then asked Concubine Ru to dress up as a palace maid and go out of the palace with him.

Previously, Xie Yan told Concubine Ru about Xue Yuan's concubine. Concubine Ru did not respond, but asked Xie Yan:

"Why did you tell me this? Did Zhaoyang tell you something? So you framed Xue Yuan and gave him this name?"

Xie Yan said: "Mother, don't you believe me?"

Ru Fei said, "Yes, Feng Qingluan has come to you privately, right? You are becoming more and more interested in that woman. You listen to everything she says, and you even teamed up with her to deceive mother?"

Concubine Ru believed that it was undoubtedly Feng Qingluan who instructed the King of Chu to tell her the news.

Otherwise, how would the King of Chu know Xue Yuan’s private affairs!

Xie Yan said, "Mother, I didn't lie to you. Xue Yuan's mistress even gave birth to a child. Are you sure you want Zhaoyang to marry such a man?

Xue Yuan doted on his mistress to the extreme and had suggested to his family many times that he wanted to bring her into the house, but was always opposed by Minister Xue. Therefore, Xue Ming knew all that Xue Yuan was doing outside.

It was his mother who wanted to choose a consort for Zhaoyang, and Xue Yuan had no choice but to accept it. His mother was deeply favored by his father, but she had also seen how the unfavored concubines in the palace lived. Did his mother want Zhaoyang to live a life without the love of her husband? Rather than let Zhaoyang suffer, it would be better to give up this marriage and choose a new man for her! "

The King of Chu kept talking, even using her situation in the palace as an example. Concubine Ru was so angry that her face turned blue, but she still didn't believe it:

"Don't even think about trying to trick me with this! I've sent people to investigate Xue Yuan, and he didn't do anything as dirty as you said!"

Xie Yan said, "You don't believe it, mother? On the tenth night, Xue Ming will go to Lanting Hall to visit his concubine and his son. If you want to know what Zhaoyang's future consort is like, you might as well go and see for yourself."

Concubine Ru was persuaded and went with Xie Yan to a high building in a house next to Lanting Hall.

Lanting Hall is located in an alley on Yangliu Street, with a quiet environment.

Concubine Ru stood on a tall building and saw a low-key carriage driving into the alley.

Xue Yuan got off the carriage.

The moment she saw him, Ru Fei's face darkened inexplicably.

She saw Xue Yuan enter the yard, and a young and beautiful woman came out holding a baby. Xue Yuan teased the child, kissed the beautiful woman on the forehead, and finally put his arm around the woman's shoulders and walked into the room, talking and laughing.

Xue Yuan's care and tenderness towards the woman did not seem fake at all, and the sense of happiness revealed between the three of them made Ru Fei feel dazzling.

She was holding her breath in her heart. This Xue Yuan actually had another woman outside. She was so angry!

Xie Yan felt relieved after seeing the unknown side of Xue Yuan with his own eyes.

"Mother, do you still think Xue Yuan is Zhaoyang's ideal man?"

Concubine Ru went down the attic with a dark face.

When I came down from the banquet, I looked towards the other side of the alley.

Feng Qingluan was watching here with Liao Luoling and He Huanyi. After receiving the message of thanking the banquet, Feng Qingluan nodded.

Concubine Ru was so angry that she would not agree to marry Xie Ying to Xue Yuan.

Liao Luoling and He Huanyi learned that Feng Qingluan asked them to investigate Xue Yuan for Yun Huaiyin and Princess Zhaoyang. They were very happy to be able to help cousin Huaiyin and clapped their hands excitedly.

After returning to the palace, Concubine Ru became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. She had been wrong!

Xue Yuan was a hypocritical person and she almost ruined Zhaoyang's life.

She found Emperor Xia Ming and told her what she had seen with her own eyes.

"Your Majesty, Zhaoyang cannot marry Xue Yuan. Your Majesty cannot grant a marriage between the two of them at the Lantern Festival banquet."

Emperor Xia Ming also knew that Zhaoyang did not want to marry Xue Yuan and had gone on a hunger strike and fell ill some time ago.

He frowned and asked Ru Fei:

"Zhao Yang has someone he likes?"

Ru Fei did not hide it: "Well, she likes Feng Qingluan's cousin Yun Huaiyin. Yun Huaiyin was born a merchant, how can he be worthy of Zhaoyang."

Concubine Ru was muttering in dissatisfaction.

When Emperor Xia Ming heard who Xie Ying liked, a cunning look flashed in his eyes.

"My beloved concubine, you don't have to worry so much. Zhaoyang is our daughter. The most important thing is that she lives a happy life. Do you know how Yun Huaiyin treats Zhaoyang?"

Concubine Ru was surprised that the emperor would say this, and said:

"He should also like Zhaoyang very much, otherwise Feng Qingluan wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to help him."

Emperor Xia Ming said, "The person Zhaoyang has chosen cannot be too bad. Ask Yun Huaiyin to come to the palace. I want to see him."

After Feng Qingluan defeated Xie Yu and Chi Ji, he currently had no one available to deal with the two.

Before finding a suitable chess piece, it might be a good thing for Zhaoyang to marry Yun Huaiyin.

Considering the relationship between Feng Qingluan and Yun Huaiyin, if Yun Huaiyin is kept in the capital as the son-in-law of the emperor, Zhaoyang can monitor Feng Qingluan and Xie Jin for him.

I believe that in order to be with Yun Huaiyin, Zhaoyang would agree to be his spy.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xia Ming curled the corners of his lips. It seemed necessary to find time to talk to Zhaoyang about this matter.
