Chapter 135: A Candidate Has Been Appointed
Emperor Kang Ren came out of Jingkun Palace, no longer in the mood to go to other palaces, and went straight back to the imperial study. At this time, his face was gloomy, holding Murong Xuanyi's memorial tightly in his hand, and he was furious. He suddenly shouted angrily: "Who is so bold as to assassinate my prince under my nose?"
Seeing this, Fuquan hurried forward to comfort him: "Your Majesty, calm down! I hope you will take the emperor's health into consideration."
Emperor Kang Ren took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger, but his eyes still flashed with unquestionable majesty. He slammed the memorial in his hand heavily on the table, and the memorial scattered all over the floor.
"Lu Ming." Emperor Kang Rendi's voice was deep and rich, revealing an unquestionable determination, "Investigate this matter thoroughly immediately."
Lu Ming entered in response. This usually calm and composed Jinyiwei commander also felt an unprecedented pressure at this moment. He bowed and accepted the order, with a gleam of determination in his eyes: "I obey your order."
Fuquan then quickly took the hot tea that the palace maid had just brewed, presented it with both hands and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
Emperor Kang Ren took the tea and thought of the Imperial Concubine's words. He paused for a moment, his eyes darkened, and he called out, "Fuquan."
Fuquan had followed Emperor Kangren for many years and knew his thoughts very well. At this moment, he lowered his head and waited for Emperor Kangren's instructions. "Your servant is here!"
"The assassination of the ninth brother may be just the beginning. I have been thinking about re-appointing a crown prince in recent days." Emperor Kang Ren's voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to carry a heavy weight, which made the air in the imperial study condense. He sighed slightly and continued, "This matter concerns the country of Great Xia. With the previous experience of Murong Xuanli, we must be cautious."
"You have followed me for many years, and you are familiar with the personalities and talents of my princes. You may as well speak frankly and tell me your opinion."
Fu Quan looked solemn. He raised his head and quickly glanced at Emperor Kang Ren, then quickly lowered his head. After pondering for a moment, he answered cautiously:
"Your Majesty is wise, and each of the princes has his own strengths, and they are all pillars of the country. However, the selection of the crown prince is not only about personal talent and virtue, but also about whether he can unite the people and stabilize the government. I dare to think that the choice of the crown prince should be one who is both virtuous and talented, and who cares about the world. As for the specific candidate..."
Fuquan bowed quickly and said cautiously, "I dare to guess that the emperor may have already chosen someone in mind, right?"
Emperor Kang Ren gently fiddled with the Buddhist beads in his hand and leaned leisurely on the back of his chair.
"You are right. I do have a candidate in mind." Emperor Kang Ren's voice was filled with deep expectations. "I believe that he can shoulder this important task and lead our Great Xia towards a more prosperous future. It's just that..." Emperor Kang Ren changed the subject and did not finish his words. He only let out a heavy sigh.
Fuquan speculated in his heart, but did not dare to speak out. He knew very well that this was about the change of imperial power, so he bowed his head respectfully and waited for Emperor Kangren to give further instructions.
Emperor Kangren pondered for a long time, but did not say a word. Finally, Fuquan said softly: "Your Majesty, it's late! Your health is the most important thing, you should rest early. Although state affairs are important, only when Your Majesty is healthy can you lead our Great Xia to prosperity."
Emperor Kang Ren glanced at Fuquan, then stood up and left the imperial study.
Fuquan followed closely behind him and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, which lady's palace are you going to?"
Emperor Kang Ren was slightly impatient: "They are all mediocre women, that's all! Go back to the Yangxin Palace."
Fu Quan understood what he meant and immediately realized Emperor Kang Ren’s intention.
"Your Majesty, are you interested in Lord Yuan?" He spoke softly, his words revealing a bit of speculation and caution.
Before Fuquan finished speaking, Emperor Kangren raised a faint smile and said without comment: "Fuquan, Fuquan, you old thing, you are getting better and better at figuring out my mind.
"But I'm afraid this matter is not easy... The fifth brother mentioned it to me and asked me to grant him and Yuan Ying a marriage. I declined because Yuan Ying was an important official in the court. Now if..."
Upon hearing this, Fuquan bowed and saluted, his tone full of respect and confidence: "This matter is not difficult to handle. Your Majesty can let Lord Yuan make his own choice in front of the civil and military officials. You are the emperor, the highest authority, so who dares not choose you, the emperor?"
Emperor Kang Ren heard this and pondered for a moment, then suddenly something came to his mind. Yes, if she made her own decision, even the fifth brother could do nothing to her? This plan was brilliant...
Emperor Kang Ren laughed loudly: "Fuquan, you bastard, you are so capable!"
Thinking of Yuan Ying's heroic appearance in the court, a desire to conquer surged in his heart. He longed to hold such a woman under him, which would be a different experience. Thinking of this, he felt eager...
……
Dong Mansion!
General Dong carefully selected more than a dozen young talents for Dong Qingqing to choose as her husband. Dong Qingqing stared at this group of gentle and elegant men who looked like scholars and smiled calmly: "If you want to become my son-in-law, you must first be able to beat me."
One of the thin men stepped forward and said, "Miss Dong, let's leave the fighting to us men. I have practiced martial arts since I was young, and I will definitely be able to keep you safe."
Dong Qingqing looked at his thin body and couldn't help laughing. "With your small body, you have been practicing martial arts since you were young. I think you have been bullied since you were young." The others also laughed.
The man was dissatisfied when he heard that, so he punched Dong Qingqing. However, before two rounds, he was easily knocked to the ground by Dong Qingqing and could not move.
Dong Qingqing glanced at the rest of the people and said provocatively: "Come on all of you." Seeing this, although everyone was afraid, they were not willing to be outdone. They rushed forward, but were quickly knocked to the ground by Dong Qingqing, wailing.
At this time, General Dong happened to come over and saw this scene. He couldn't help but get angry. He quickly ordered his servants to help everyone up. He saw that all the scholars were in tears and cried, "General Dong, you are not looking for a son-in-law, you are clearly looking for a sparring partner!"
Dong Qingqing heard this and smiled calmly: "Who made you so weak?"
General Dong had no choice but to order his men to take the scholars away from the scene.
Then, he turned to Dong Qingqing with a serious expression and said, "Qingqing, what do you mean by this? You thought the warriors in the military camp were vulgar, and now you treat these gentle scholars in the same way. What do you want to do?"
Dong Qingqing's eyes flashed with determination, and she said slowly: "Dad, don't worry about my marriage. I have my own plans in mind."
General Dong frowned upon hearing this, stared at Dong Qingqing and said seriously: "Qingqing, Your Highness, don't even think about it."
Dong Qingqing was stunned as if she had stepped on her tail. She took a deep breath and calmed down her inner excitement. She retorted: "Dad, what are you talking about? I just want to be with you and mom."
General Dong was unmoved and said, "If you recruit a live-in son-in-law, he will accompany your father and mother. I have said your marriage..."
Before she could finish her words, the servant came to report: "Miss, Princess Anyang wants to see you!"
Dong Qingqing's eyes lit up. Great! The savior has arrived. "Please come in!" Dong Qingqing was overjoyed.
Seeing this, General Dong snorted and left.
After a while, Anyang arrived gracefully. She looked at Dong Qingqing and said with a smile, "Qingqing, I heard that your place is very lively, so I came to see it."
Dong Qingqing held Princess Anyang's hand and said coquettishly, "You came at the right time. My father is forcing me to get married."
Princess Anyang chuckled, "Uncle Dong is also thinking about your lifelong event. However, marriage is something that must be considered carefully. Qingqing, are you really willing to spend your life with someone you don't know?"
Dong Qingqing said helplessly: "I don't want to either. My father forces me to get married every day. Forget it, I won't talk about this anymore. You've come here with great difficulty, so just say something happy."
Princess Anyang pretended to be mysterious and pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Actually, I came to see you today because someone asked me to do so."
Dong Qingqing's eyes suddenly sparkled with joy, and she asked anxiously, "It's Murong Xuanyu, right?"
Princess Anyang couldn't help laughing and joked, "I haven't even told you who it is yet, but you're already so impatient. Are you thinking about him?"
Dong Qingqing's cheeks turned slightly red, and she shyly defended herself: "What are you talking about? I don't miss him at all!"
Princess Anyang laughed even harder upon seeing this, and continued jokingly, "Since you don't miss him, then there seems to be no need to convey the message he asked me to convey." As she said that, she pretended to turn around and leave.
Dong Qingqing quickly grabbed her hand and said in a hurry, "Alright, alright, stop teasing me. Tell me quickly, what did he say to me? Also, how is his injury? Has he recovered?"
Princess Anyang chuckled and turned back, her eyes glittering with cunning. "Look how anxious you are. His injury has healed, but the worry in his heart is harder to heal than the injury on his body. He told me to tell you not to get married and to wait for him."
Then he took out a letter from his arms and said, "Forget it, I don't know what he said specifically, you can read it yourself!"
Dong Qingqing received the letter and was delighted. She carefully opened the envelope and took out the letter. The handwriting on it was very lively and unrestrained.
"Qingqing, I am glad to receive your letter. I heard that your father wanted to force a marriage, and I was so worried that I couldn't sleep at night. Please don't be forced by the world. I have admired you for a long time and would like to hold your hand, grow old with you, and go through the ups and downs of this life together. When I finish my worldly affairs, I will come to your house in person to express my sincerity in asking for your hand in marriage. Don't promise it to others lightly. Wait for me! Wait for me! Wait for me! - Murong Xuanyu!"
After reading the letter, Dong Qingqing's eyes were slightly wet, but the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously. She stroked the letter repeatedly, as if she could feel Murong Xuanyu's warmth and determination from it. Princess Anyang watched quietly from the side, and she was also relieved for the lovers in her heart. The two finally got it.
"Qingqing, are you relieved now?" Princess Anyang asked softly.
Dong Qingqing nodded, with an unprecedented determination in her eyes: "Anyang, please tell him for me. I will wait for him, no matter how long it takes."
Princess Anyang smiled slightly and patted the back of Dong Qingqing's hand: "That's good, I will go back and tell him to rest and recover from his injuries, and not to keep you waiting too long."
The two looked at each other and laughed. Dong Qingqing knew that waiting was the most painful, but when she thought of someone who was crossing thousands of mountains and rivers just to share the future with her, she was willing to endure this waiting even if it was painful.
