Quick Wear: The Cold Beauty's Sickly Husband is Super Clingy
Chapter 541: Infatuated Emperor x Seductive King 01
The capital of Yong State.
The Prince Yi's Mansion, which had been empty for a long time, welcomed its master, Murong Yu, who inherited the title the year before last.
This person is Bai Yu of this world.
Three years ago, Murong Yu was only seventeen years old and it was natural for him to inherit the title.
It is perfectly reasonable for the son to inherit the family business after the father's death.
Prince Yi died of illness in middle age, so the title would naturally be passed on to his only son and legitimate son. Even if everyone argued to the contrary, Murong Yu was more right.
Unfortunately, Prince Yi's half-brother was confused and even wanted his son Murong Sang to replace Prince Yi's legitimate son to inherit the title and family business.
For this reason, the father and son from the first branch of the family, who were looking forward to inheriting the title, did not hesitate to poison Murong Yu after Prince Yi's death, hoping that both Prince Yi and his son would go to hell.
The princess who was busy arranging the funeral of Prince Yi and Murong Yu who was immersed in the grief of his father's passing never thought that Murong Sang and his son would actually do such a cruel thing.
That led to the tragedy that happened later.
Princess Yi, who had just finished her husband's funeral and was preparing to let her son inherit the title, never expected that her lively son would fall seriously ill one night.
It was obvious that her son was not like King Xianyi who was born weak and sickly and died at the age of forty. How could he suddenly fall ill?
Princess Yi thought about all the enemies of Prince Yi's Mansion, but still couldn't figure it out.
Since she married King Xianyi, she has lived in Changle fiefdom. Unless Your Majesty summons her and her husband back to the capital, she will never leave her fiefdom.
Moreover, the couple have always been kind to others, and King Xianyi is so weak that he seldom makes enemies with others. In addition, they do not get involved in the fight for the throne, so it is even less likely that they would be secretly hated by a certain prince.
Who was behind this murder of her son?
Princess Yi is investigating the murderer behind the scenes while taking care of her unfortunate son who is bedridden.
After searching for a long time, she finally had a candidate in mind.
The only person who dared to attack her son at this time when her husband had passed away and had a chance of succeeding was the one who frequently went in and out of the main room of the palace.
The woman's sixth sense also told her that this must be the case.
It must be her husband's half-brother who is still obsessed with letting Murong Sang inherit the title!
Although she had some guesses in her mind, she had not yet found any evidence that the eldest wife had committed a crime, nor could she find out the real cause of her son's illness.
She was so angry that her heart ached and she wished she could tear the father and son from the first wife's house into pieces.
Princess Yi's original intention was to temporarily control the first wife and then slowly conduct a thorough investigation. The key right now is to restore her son to health as soon as possible.
But the reality is always contrary to our wishes.
Murong Yu died of this acute illness, from some unknown secret medicine of the previous dynasty.
Almost at the moment when Murong Yu breathed his last, Bai Yu "whoosh" penetrated into his body, and in the process crushed the conspiracy of the eldest wife.
King Xianyi's eldest illegitimate brother has always hated his second brother who has the title of legitimate son but is physically weak. However, because he is a illegitimate son, he cannot inherit the title, so he can only watch the title fall into the hands of the other party.
He waited for twenty years and finally his second brother died. He had no patience to wait any longer, so he fed his nephew the secret medicine he had painstakingly found.
Ultimately, the nephew died of an acute illness due to excessive grief over the loss of his father.
He had planned to wait until Murong Yu died and then persuade his second brother's wife to ask for a title for his son Murong Sang, so that they could usurp the throne.
After all, after Murong Yu's death, his son was the only male in Prince Yi's Mansion who could inherit the title.
The Prince Yi’s Mansion has few connections and the life inside is simple.
King Xianyi's father had only two sons in his life. The eldest son from a concubine is now the eldest wife, and the legitimate son is King Xianyi. The two brothers each have a son.
The illegitimate master had many wives and concubines, but after working hard for most of his life, he only had one son, Murong Sang, whom he regarded as his lifeblood.
King Xianyi was frail and sickly, and had only the princess as his wife. He had not taken any concubines for many years, and he had only one child, Murong Yu.
The new generation of male descendants in Prince Yi's Mansion only have two children: Murong Sang from the first wife's lineage and Murong Yu from the second wife's lineage. Both of them are the only descendants in the same lineage.
In other words, after the death of the late Prince Yi, there were only two legitimate heirs, Murong Yu and Murong Sang. Excluding Murong Yu, who was the most legitimate, the title of Prince Yi's mansion could only be inherited by Murong Sang.
When Bai Yu woke up from Murong Yu's body, he happened to see the father and son from the first house coming to inquire about the situation. Princess Yi was so angry that she locked them all up.
Thinking back on the scene at that time, it still seems chaotic.
Princess Yi was furious, like a tigress whose pain had been stabbed in the heart, and she disregarded propriety and ordered the servants and maids to arrest Murong Sang and his son.
Murong Sang seemed to care about the original owner's cousin, but in fact, every word he said hit the other person's heart.
The eldest master even thought that Murong Yu was dead, and acted as arrogantly as a villain who had got what he wanted.
The legitimate and illegitimate wives were in a huge quarrel.
However, when they saw Murong Yu being supported by two maids and walking out of the room, they were dumbfounded, and the three people who were confronting him were full of shock.
At that time, Princess Yi immediately abandoned the shameless Murong Sang and his son, walked towards Murong Yu with tears in her eyes, and stared at him cautiously.
"My Yu'er, you can get out of bed now!"
But Murong Sang and his son thought that Murong Yu was just experiencing a last burst of vitality.
But the fact is just the opposite, and he even slapped the father and son in the face countless times.
Not only did Murong Yu not die, he also recovered to normal.
He first found solid evidence that Murong Sang and his son had poisoned him, and then, in accordance with the laws of the Yong Kingdom, he expelled the eldest wife, who had attempted to seize the legitimate son's property, from the Prince Yi's Mansion, and had the father and son, the masterminds, beheaded.
Not only was the eldest son's lineage expelled from the palace and no longer a descendant of Prince Yi's palace, but he was also sentenced to exile in Yazhou for the crimes of knowing the truth and not reporting it and of being complicit in the crime.
The old emperor, who was still alive at the time, personally ordered the Ministry of Justice to judge and handle this matter, and Murong Yu's inheritance of the title was also clearly decided by the imperial edict.
No one dared to covet his title anymore!
Three years later, the old emperor has passed away, and the new emperor who has succeeded to the throne is the old emperor's sixth prince and the rightful heir to the throne.
Baili? was the son of the late emperor's first wife and was originally the Crown Prince of Yong State appointed by the late emperor himself. However, his path to becoming emperor was not so smooth.
He defeated those troublesome brothers with great difficulty, then took over the throne from the previous emperor and succeeded to the throne in early April this year.
Bai Yu [i.e. Murong Yu] rushed to the capital from his fiefdom specifically to pay homage to the new emperor and express his loyalty to him.
When it comes to the origin of the title of Prince Yi, he gets a headache.
Because this matter started a hundred years ago when Emperor Gaozu overthrew the Ji State and established the Yong State.
More than a hundred years ago, a tyrant was in power in the State of Ji, causing the people in the country to live in misery. People from all over the country rose up in rebellion and tried to overthrow the tyrant's rule.
The tyrant's name was Murong Xiang.
He was not only the last emperor of Ji State, but also the ancestor of all the successive King Yi.
Actually, this is not quite accurate.
Because Murong Xiang never married in his life, he committed suicide by burning himself. He was only 24 years old when he died.
The prince of the previous dynasty who was conferred the title of Prince Yi was the cousin of this tyrant, and the descendants of the Prince Yi Mansion that have been passed down to this day are all remnants of the royal family of the previous dynasty.
When Emperor Gaozu founded the country, he bestowed different titles according to merit, but he only conferred the title of King Yi to one person of a different surname, who was inherited by Murong Yu.
Murong Yu's ancestors were able to escape and were granted the title of king of a different surname only because Emperor Gaozu was deeply in love with Murong Xiang, the tyrant of the previous dynasty.
The day Emperor Gaozu conquered the capital was the day his beloved was burned to death.
He gained the kingdom, but lost his beloved.
Emperor Gaozu reigned for more than twenty years. He never took a queen or a concubine, but only adopted his nephew as the crown prince. He was always thinking about Murong Xiang, who died young.
He loved Murong Xiang very much, but he did not dare to express his love to her while Murong Xiang was alive, or he had not had the chance to express his feelings to her.
He originally planned to welcome her as empress after he became emperor and founded the country, but Murong Xiang did not give him this opportunity. No one had ever thought that the other party would burn himself to death in the palace.
In the end, Emperor Gaozu, who had a crush on the tyrant, didn't even get a complete corpse.
He did a lot of crazy things after he ascended the throne.
For example, keeping the royal family of the previous dynasty and selecting a suitable man to be canonized as Prince Yi to be Murong Xiang's successor, so that Murong Xiang can have a home to return to.
For example, there was an imperial edict that did not include the name of the person to be made queen...
Bai Yu, who had read about that old story in the ancestral notes left by King Xianyi, initially regarded it as just a story. However, after he deduced it, he found out Murong Xiang's true identity.
Murong Xiang is the identity used by Bai Yu's father.
A long, long time ago, long ago, before Bai Yu's father became a demon god and before he formed a partnership with Qing Luan, this great devil used to enjoy playing the role of the villain, dedicated to attacking and exploiting the protagonist.
The tyrant Murong Xiang is one of the villains.
Bai Yu remained silent on this, and sincerely felt that Emperor Gaozu was very bold.
In other words, the other party died quickly, otherwise, given his father's jealous nature, he would definitely beat the person to death, and the other party might not even live to die of old age.
If the speed of time flow in the heavens and the world and the sky world were not different, so many years would not have passed in the sky world while only a hundred years had passed in this world, making him the nominal descendant of his father.
According to the relationships between characters in this world, the identity he used was that of the descendant of Murong Xiang's cousin, and he was indeed the other party's descendant.
The relationship between father and son was so bad, but they got so far apart.
