Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Chapter 177 Decree to Grant Marriage

Chu Yuncang recounted the events of Juyuan in a leisurely manner. Emperor Yingtian's expression was gloomy and dark, like the sky covered with dark clouds before a storm.

Having been the emperor for so many years, Emperor Yingtian was naturally shrewd. He guessed in an instant that his sister was playing tricks of catching her in bed with someone else and ruining her reputation!

Emperor Yingtian racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. He had a very close relationship with his imperial sister. Although she had a flamboyant personality, she was not a wicked person. Why did she target Xuan'er everywhere and why did she use such despicable means on Xuan'er?

The adulterer that the imperial sister prepared for Xuan'er turned out to be Liang Yanqi. Liang Yanqi had been demoted to a commoner for murdering Xuan'er. Why did a commoner have the courage to murder the princess of the dynasty?

In an instant, the powerless feeling of losing control of everything hit Emperor Yingtian like a surging tide, and the strength he had gained from his practice in the past few days seemed to be drained away in an instant. He leaned weakly on the dragon throne, feeling irritated and frustrated.

He lowered his eyelids slightly, and when his eyes swept across the drawer of the imperial desk, his heart moved. The brocade box contained the Huiyuan Pill that the National Master had presented to him today. It was said that precious materials were added during the refining process, and Taoist magic was used to help people stay young forever, just like the National Master.

When Emperor Yingtian was young, he sneered at those emperors in history who took elixirs, thinking that they were all foolish and incompetent, but now he understands them and is eager to take those elixirs.

He looked up at his two children and said in a deep voice, "Alright, Father already knows about this matter. It was indeed your aunt who did the wrong thing. Fortunately, Cang'er arrived in time to prevent a serious mistake."

"Since there was no danger, there's no need to delve into this matter. Father will summon your aunt to the palace tomorrow and will definitely ask her to apologize to Xuan'er."

Although Chu Yuncang had already guessed this outcome, anger still rose in his heart, but his face remained calm and he said respectfully, "Yes, Father, thank you for upholding justice for Xuan'er!"

Princess Fu'an also stopped crying. Her long eyelashes were covered with tears. Her big red eyes looked at Emperor Yingtian in surprise. She was extremely disappointed in her heart.

Cang'er's words seemed to mock him, and Xuan'er's eyes were critical of him. Emperor Yingtian felt even more annoyed. His face darkened slightly, and he said in a cold voice, "Alright, it's getting late. You should all leave the palace early!"

Chu Yuncang's dark eyes moved slightly, and he bowed and said, "Father, Liang Yanqi..."

Emperor Yingtian had his hand on the drawer. Seeing Chu Yuncang was about to continue, he interrupted him and said, "What happened to Liang Yanqi? He's just a commoner. Don't mention it again!"

Chu Yuncang seemed unaware of Emperor Yingtian's displeasure, and continued, "Liang Yanqi, a commoner, dared to murder Xuan'er. I wanted to take Liang Yanqi away for questioning, but my aunt stopped me. She said that Liang Yanqi and Roujia were in love, and she had already chosen Liang Yanqi as her son-in-law."

"My aunt and Roujia are both proud and arrogant. I didn't believe it at first, but today Liang Yanqi and Roujia came out of the room in dishevel and admitted that they were husband and wife. All the guests present heard it, so I had to believe it."

Emperor Yingtian couldn't believe his ears. How could his sister, who loved Roujia so much, choose a commoner as her husband? He turned to look at Princess Fu'an, who nodded affirmatively.

Chu Yuncang's expression remained unchanged as he said calmly, "I believe that this incident, before Roujia and Liang Yanqi were even married, has truly damaged the reputation of the royal family. For the time being, why not Father issue an imperial decree to grant their marriage immediately? This will still help to make amends."

"A grant of marriage?" Princess Fu'an was shocked. Liang Yanqi was already dead, so why did her brother still suggest that their father grant a marriage? She looked at Chu Yuncang in surprise. Chu Yuncang glanced at her coldly, and she quickly shut her mouth!

Emperor Yingtian thought Princess Fu'an was just being discontent, so he ignored her. Instead, he looked at Chu Yuncang suspiciously and said coldly, "Cang'er, don't you want to avenge Xuan'er? Why are you still speaking up for your aunt?"

Chu Yuncang said calmly: "Compared to revenge, the reputation of the Chu royal family is of course more important."

He curled his lips slightly and continued, "Besides, Liang Yanqi is just a commoner now. I'd like to ask the emperor to assign Roujia to Liang Yanqi. This can be considered as a way to vent Xuan'er's anger!"

Emperor Yingtian nodded gently and said calmly, "Cang'er is right. Father will immediately order someone to draft an edict."

A moment later, the imperial edict granting marriage to Princess Roujia and Liang Yanqi was drafted, and Chu Yuncang left the imperial study with Princess Fu'an and the eunuch who announced the edict.

When they reached the outside of the imperial study, Chu Yuncang looked at the eunuch who announced the decree and said calmly, "Eunuch, as far as I know, the eldest princess is not in the eldest princess's residence, but on her way back to Shengjing."

"Why don't you go to the road to greet her? Such good news should be shared with the princess as soon as possible, and you can return to the palace to report earlier. It will be the best of both worlds."

The eunuch bowed hurriedly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. Your Highness is absolutely right. I will certainly follow your instructions..."

In the imperial study, as soon as Chu Yuncang and others stepped out of the door, Emperor Yingtian couldn't wait to take out the brocade box.

Three pills were quietly placed in the brocade box. The pills were as black as ink, cold and mysterious, as if they contained infinite energy and vitality.

Emperor Yingtian's heartbeat quickened involuntarily. He urgently ordered, "Deshun, bring me a cup of tea."

Eunuch Deshun immediately poured a cup of warm tea and tremblingly held it before Emperor Yingtian, saying worriedly, "Your Majesty, do you really want to take this medicine?"

Emperor Yingtian quickly took the tea and said excitedly: "This is a good medicine for me to maintain eternal youth. It is hard to find, so of course I have to take it." After that, he dissolved a pill in water and swallowed it.

After a cup of tea, he felt that his originally confused mind suddenly became unusually clear, and his whole body was full of energy, as if he had endless energy.

……

The gate of Shengjing City.

As soon as the princess's convoy entered the city gate, it was blocked by a group of people. The leader was Liang Su, the former Marquis of Guangping and Liang Yanqi's father.

An hour ago, Liang Su was strolling down the street when he heard someone whispering about a death at the Princess's chrysanthemum-viewing banquet. It turned out to be the former son of the Marquis of Guangping! He was horrified and tried to question them, but they flatly denied it.

Liang Su hurried home to inquire, and sure enough, he heard that someone had picked up Liang Yanqi early in the morning to go to the chrysanthemum viewing banquet.

Ever since the incident where Princess Fu'an frightened her horse, Liang Su told Liang Yanqi not to have any more contact with the princess and her daughter. However, Liang Yanqi turned a deaf ear to his words and he was so angry that he kicked the door several times.

But Liang Su still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that the two men were talking nonsense and that Liang Yanqi was safe and sound.

He quickly ran to the front of the Princess's carriage, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said loudly: "Your Highness, I, Liang Su, beg Your Highness to show mercy and return my beloved son Liang Yanqi..."
