As expected by everyone, she became the wife of the Marquis after being married off

When the news of Shen Wanqing's death reached the Changning Marquis' Mansion, Shen Lanyue was making small clothes for the two children. Upon hearing the news, she paused for a moment and then continued with her work.

Come to think of it, the last time I saw Shen Wanqing was actually a bit ridiculous in my heart.

However, all of Shen Lanyue's hatred for Shen Wanqing has disappeared with her death, and she will no longer think of this person from now on.

On the other hand, when Li Wenxuan, who had gone out early in the morning, returned to the mansion and received the news, he inevitably frowned and his expression became gloomy.

Sun Shu looked at his appearance and secretly despised and despised Li Wenxuan in his heart.

When he was alive, he showed no mercy to Shen Wanqing, and there was no sign of the love they once had. Now that she is dead, he puts on an expression of regret and sadness, and I don't know who he is doing it for.

Sun Shuhao had already seen through the hypocrisy of this man. If they had not been tied together for a long time, she would not have looked down on such a ruthless man.

"Your Highness, that...Shen Wanqing's..." She raised her eyes and asked him in a low voice.

Li Wenxuan hid the pain in his eyes, took a deep breath and said expressionlessly: "It shouldn't be too heavy. Her current status is not suitable, and it can't be too simple, otherwise people will laugh at her."

Sun Shuhao sneered in his heart, then smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I will make sure that the concubine is well arranged."

Li Wenxuan looked at her docile and decent appearance and nodded with satisfaction.

"I have something else to do. I'll leave all the affairs of the mansion to you."

If she continued to look like this, Li Wenxuan thought that when the time came, he would ascend to the throne and make her the queen.

Sun Shuhao had no idea what he was thinking, she could only feel his gaze on her.

"Yes."

Shen Wanqing's death did not cause much of a stir. People only felt it was a pity when they heard that the beautiful Second Miss Shen had also died in the backyard of the palace.

They have never seen Shen Wanqing's current face. Most of them still have the impression of Shen Wanqing from the time when the Shen family was ransacked. At least when they looked from a distance, they could not see any abnormality in Shen Wanqing.

When Meng Changce received the news, he did not change at all and just said "hmm" to indicate that he understood.

His people had been keeping an eye on every move in Prince Sheng's Mansion, so naturally the news reached him at the first opportunity.

The pen in Meng Changce's hand did not pause for the slightest, and he did not even raise his head, showing no sign of fluctuation towards this once very good chess piece.

Fu Bei looked at the secret guard who was still there, cursed inwardly, and winked at him.

The secret guard received it and immediately said, "I'll take my leave."

"Ah."

Meng Changce frowned as he looked at the letter on the table. His eyes were sharp, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, with a cruel arc at the corner of his mouth.

He handed the letter to Fu Bei who stepped forward: "Give it to the Princess."

Fu Bei: "Yes." He took it with both hands and left the house.

Meng Changce leaned back in his chair with his hands relaxed, but his expression was like that of a wolf that had been lurking for a long time, exuding a bloodthirsty chill.

…………

Emperor Yingde was an emperor who attached great importance to the morning court. In the more than 20 years since he ascended the throne, he had basically never missed the morning court. But recently, his absences were getting longer and longer, and the civil and military officials had long been suspicious and uneasy.

Most of the memorials submitted were requests for the selection of a crown prince.

Emperor Yingde's health was indeed not good. He felt that he was becoming less and less energetic, and his fatigue was becoming more and more obvious. He also clearly felt that his sleep time was increasing.

The most crucial point is that sometimes he felt that he could not open his eyes at all. Emperor Ying De felt that he might just fall asleep like that.

But the more this happened, the more important Emperor Yingde attached to the power in his hands. He was wary of every prince and concubine around him, and his suspicion grew heavier.

Now, apart from the young Sixth Prince, he basically doesn't want to see other princes.

The Empress and Consort Xian haven't seen Emperor Yingde for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess is here."

After Emperor Ying De finished drinking the medicine, he handed the bowl to Tang Hai and nodded: "Please come in."

"Yes."

When the eldest princess came in, Emperor Yingde was sitting on a chair beside the chessboard. He smiled slightly when he saw Li Changyang.

Li Changyang also smiled and walked over to bow, but Emperor Yingde waved his hand.

The princess was no longer shy and smiled as she sat opposite Emperor Yingde. "Your Majesty, I would like to play a game of chess with you now."

Emperor Yingde laughed and put down the black chess piece in his hand: "I still remember that my sister is the best chess player in the world. You taught me when we were young."

Li Changyang smiled, "But the emperor has already defeated me countless times."

The white chess piece in hand falls.

"Oh, but I really miss that time when I played chess with Xiang Qing and the others."

Emperor Yingde placed another piece on the table and raised his head to look at her face tentatively.

Li Changyang's expression remained unchanged, his eyes calm.

"Even now, they cannot defeat the emperor."

Li Changyang raised his head and looked into his eyes, calm and composed.

Emperor Yingde laughed twice, dropped the chess piece, and messed up the entire chessboard.

"Now that I think about it, I am really sorry to my sister. If it weren't for me, maybe..."

"Your Majesty." Li Changyang said, his eyes raised and his brows furrowed, "You are my brother. What happened in the past is long gone. Now I have Shuo'er, and I am very satisfied."

Emperor Yingde was stunned, lowered his head with a wry smile, and said, "Yes, yes, it was my brother who said the wrong thing. It's all over, it's all over."

Li Changyang: "In this life, I just hope that Shuoer can live a healthy, happy and smooth life. As a mother, I will be content and at peace."

"Smoothly..." Emperor Yingde showed a rare sadness, muttering these words.

"Royal sister, who among these children do you think can take on this important task?"

Li Changyang's expression changed slightly. He looked up and smiled at him, "Your Majesty has already made up his mind, right?"

To the shock of all the civil and military officials in the court, Emperor Yingde announced the candidate for the crown prince without any warning at the morning court session the next day.

Prince Chen is made the Crown Prince!

He is the eldest son and has made achievements, so he should be enthroned.

Li Wenxuan's expression on the spot could be described as extremely ugly. He was not at all prepared, and it could even be said that the matter was settled on the spot without any sign of warning.

What made him feel even more embarrassed was that if he had already decided on this matter, then why had his father cultivated him over the years or asked him to marry Prime Minister Sun's daughter? Was it just to pave the way for him, Li Xuli?

He doesn't agree!
