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

The overall situation was decided. Emperor Yingde did not give Li Wenxuan any room when he read out the imperial edict in the court. Li Xuli became the legitimate crown prince and the future emperor.

The imperial edict had been issued, and even the dissatisfied court officials did not dare to do anything at this time. They could only kneel down and kowtow to the prince.

Li Xuli, standing among the ministers, was still as handsome and upright as before, with a calm expression on his face. He did not seem surprised nor did he have any sense of complacency, as if as long as he stood there, it meant that he was supposed to be him.

Only Meng Changce saw the subtle sharpness and the fleeting sadness between his eyebrows.

Meng Changce had a faint smile on his face and lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in them.

Before the morning court session ended, all the palaces in the harem had already received the news of the crown prince's appointment.

The queen asked nervously, "Who is it?"

The eunuch who reported the news knelt on the ground with a frozen smile on his face and said, "Your Majesty, it's His Royal Highness Prince Chen!"

The maids in the room immediately knelt down and congratulated loudly: "Congratulations to the Queen, and congratulations to the Crown Prince."

Although the Queen had anticipated about 70% of the situation, she still felt uneasy before things came to fruition. After all, Emperor Yingde changed his mind quite often.

Now that her heart was at peace, the queen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"reward."

"Thank you, Queen."

Some were happy while others were sad. At the same time, the virtuous concubine who was imprisoned in Anle Palace also received the news almost at the same time.

The virtuous concubine felt dizzy and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground. None of the palace maids dared to look up.

Water stains were scattered on Concubine Xian's embroidered clothes. Her slender fingers trembled, and she took a few deep breaths and closed her eyes. She said in a deep voice, "Get out!"

“Yes… yes…” The eunuch who reported the news did not even have time to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and hurriedly crawled out.

Mei Ju stepped forward worriedly: "My Lady."

A trace of sadness appeared on Concubine Xian's face. She opened her eyes, looked at her and scolded her, "The emperor has always been using me, even my son. His actions today are clearly telling us that he has never considered us."

It is even possible that he has been balancing the struggle between himself and the queen for so many years, and invisibly giving himself hope, making the mother and son feel that... perhaps the throne... may also fall into Li Wenxuan's hands.

Whether it is cultivating the Zhu family or letting Li Wenxuan marry Sun Shuhao, it may be a test of Li Xuli by Emperor Yingde over the years.

After the morning court session, Li Wenxuan came to the Anle Palace of Concubine Xian.

The virtuous concubine had already sent people down, leaving only the heart and lungs, and looked at Li Wenxuan with a gloomy face and asked him to sit down.

"Mother, have you not received any information about this matter?"

The virtuous concubine glanced at him and shook her head slightly with a numb look.

Li Wenxuan sneered, lowered his eyelids and said, "The eldest princess entered the palace yesterday, and father has not seen anyone since then. It seems that the eldest princess said something."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian frowned and asked, "The eldest princess?"

Although the eldest princess did not clearly stand on one side, her son Wang Shuo always stayed by her son's side and always protected him.

"Heh, it seems that he has actually been supporting Li Xuli all these years." Li Wenxuan's eyes were grim, and he clenched his hands on his knees into fists, with obvious anger in his eyes.

"Is it possible that Wang Shuo was sent by my father to monitor me all along?"

The virtuous concubine's pupils shrank and she stood up suddenly with a tense expression.

Li Wenxuan looked at her, his eyes were cold, and he said calmly, "Mother, do you think it is possible?"

The virtuous concubine said nothing.

However, Li Wenxuan understood the strange emotion in her eyes.

He guessed that it was probably almost right. Wang Shuo might have been the person sent by his father to be by his side. Otherwise, why would he shoot Zhu Huaishu?

"Hehehe, mother and I are really stupid. We were fooled by father!"

Li Wenxuan covered his face and laughed crazily, and the blue veins on the back of his hands, which were tense from exerting force, also announced his anger.

"Mother, since it's not easy for him, don't blame us for being unkind. We have to fight for our lives and property by ourselves!" Li Wenxuan stopped laughing, his eyes were dark and frightening, with a strong sense of hostility.

Xian Fei's heart trembled, and she said in a low voice: "What are you going to do?"

Li Wenxuan raised his eyelids slightly and said in a cold voice: "My father's birthday is coming, and the crown prince and the queen will definitely be the main candidates for the event. Mother, do you think the crown prince's intention to rebel and ascend the throne early is a serious enough crime?"

Concubine Xian's heart was beating wildly. Looking at her son's appearance, she felt that this was not just a momentary thought of his. Maybe... maybe he had planned it long ago.

Changning Marquis Mansion

Shen Lanyue suddenly felt a surge of restlessness in her heart. She rubbed her chest anxiously and frowned slightly. She called Fanfan and asked, "Did the Marquis send anyone back?"

Fanfan was a little confused, but still shook his head and said, "No."

If Meng Changce is busy now and doesn't have time to come back for dinner or comes back late, he will send someone back to tell Shen Lanyue as soon as possible.

"Today is a big happy event. I'm afraid the Marquis will be back late. Madam, do you want me to send someone to invite the Marquis?"

Shen Lanyue's expression slightly restrained, she glanced towards the door and waved her hand.

"No, I was just panicking for a moment."

Fanfan became nervous now, "Madam, are you feeling unwell? I will go get the imperial physician right away!"

Before Shen Lanyue had time to say anything, she saw Fanfan running out anxiously and smiled helplessly.

Today the crown prince is chosen, and this is a situation that has never happened in the previous life.

Although this life is different from her previous life, she thought that Li Wenxuan would never give up. The smile that had just bloomed on her face faded and her eyes darkened.

Li Wenxuan rebelled in his previous life, so what about this life?

According to his personality, he would never be willing to be under someone else for long, and his suspicion would not let him believe that the prince would not kill him. I'm afraid he would still follow the old path of his previous life.

So what about Meng Changce?

In his previous life, he supported the Sixth Prince's ascension to the throne. In this life, Li Xuli is not someone who can be controlled by Meng Changce.

Chenwang Mansion

"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness!"

A hearty and heroic voice rang out at the dinner table, and Wang Shuo stood up alone, holding a wine glass, squinting his eyes, and leisurely congratulated Li Xuli.

Li Xuli smiled casually and picked up the wine glass on the table and clinked it with him.

The two smiled at each other and drank it in one gulp.

Wang Shuo sneered and said to Meng Changce who was sitting lazily: "Our Changning Marquis is very good at predicting things. I wonder when you think King Sheng will rebel."

Meng Changce raised his eyes slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Shoudan."
