Lin Yiwan didn't care about anything else and rushed into the house.
She quickly took Lin Su's pulse and gave her acupuncture, and determined that she had fainted due to anger.
After a cup of tea, Lin Su slowly woke up.
When she saw Lin Yiwan, tears began to fall.
She trembled and said, "Wanwan, why did the Emperor grant your father a marriage? Do those four concubines have to come to the Li Palace?"
Lin Yiwan soothed him gently, "No matter what the emperor thinks, father will definitely not agree. Don't you still trust him?"
Lin Su shook her head with difficulty: "I believe him, but he will anger the emperor. The Li Palace is already in the spotlight. If he openly disobeys the emperor's order, he will inevitably be criticized by the court officials. This is very troublesome!"
Anger flashed in Lin Yiwan's eyes. She couldn't understand why the emperor did this. Why did he suddenly want to marry four concubines to Prince Li's palace?
Sang Qiutang asked from the side: "Do you know the details of those four concubines?"
Lin Su said hoarsely, "They are all noble ladies from the capital, still very young, and their fathers are all important officials in the court!"
Lin Yiwan couldn't sit still any longer, so she stood up and walked out quickly.
Sang Qiutang hurriedly chased after her, reminding her, "Wanwan, calm down. After all, he's the Emperor. He's the ruler, and we're the subjects. Don't give anyone a chance to talk!"
Lin Yiwan stopped in her tracks abruptly. Yes, the emperor is the ruler. No matter what decision he makes, people from the Prince's Mansion should not contradict him openly.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be truly confirming the fact that the king is not taken seriously?
Just at this moment, King Li and Zhan Yan came back from outside together.
Both of them looked very solemn!
The shadow soul following behind Zhan Yan was carrying a bag that looked very heavy.
Lin Yiwan was the first to ask, "Father, what is the reason why the Emperor granted you marriage?"
Li Wang quickly said, "Let's go inside and talk first!"
After the two entered the house, Yinghun put the bag on the table.
Zhan Yan frowned and said, "This is the memorial submitted by the court officials to my father. They say that the Prince Li's Palace has seized too much power. It's just the same old story in a new bottle. They're afraid that my father will try to seize the throne from the Emperor!"
Lin Yiwan asked doubtfully, "Is it because of these memorials that the Emperor decided to grant my father a marriage? Is he going to use those concubines to silence the court officials?"
Prince Li nodded obscurely. "Yes, that's how he explained it. The fathers of those four concubines are the most ruthless people to me!"
Lin Yiwan couldn't help but frown. No matter what, she would never let those four concubines enter the mansion.
Prince Li stood up and walked quickly to Lin Su and said, "Don't worry, I won't agree to the marriage. Without my approval, those four concubines can't enter Prince Li's palace!"
Lin Su asked worriedly, "How are we going to explain this to the Emperor? Are we going to openly disobey his order?"
Prince Li said softly, "I've handed over the power of regent before. Now that it's Xiao Ling, I should have let him go long ago. It's just that he's been too dependent on me, and he's been entangled in all the government affairs!"
Lin Yiwan nodded: "Father is right, we are not obsessed with power and we will no longer be regents. Let's see what those court officials are saying!"
Prince Li did what he said and went to the palace in person to explain the situation to the emperor.
Xiao Ling looked embarrassed. "Granduncle, my imperial decree has already been issued. How can you go back on your word? Can't I settle the four girls in the palace? This is a helpless move on my part. I just want to appease the court officials who are dissatisfied with you!"
He couldn't understand it. He was clearly thinking about King Li, but he didn't appreciate it.
Prince Li said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I understand your good intentions, but I am upright and I hold my position firmly. I don't care what others say. Now that you have become a wise ruler, it is time for me to return to Prince Li's mansion and retire peacefully. As for the four concubines, they are not worthy of their care. Please, Your Majesty, revoke your decision!"
Xiao Ling's face turned pale and blue, and he subconsciously asked, "Granduncle, are you going to ignore me and the people of Sheng Dynasty?"
Prince Li stubbornly said, "Your Majesty, please revoke your order. I will be grateful to you forever!"
He had never spoken like this, nor had he ever been so humble in front of Xiao Ling.
This look really made Xiao Ling a little frightened.
He immediately stood up and walked in front of Prince Li: "Uncle, please don't do this!"
Prince Li said earnestly, "Your Majesty, I have never asked you for anything before, but this time, I just hope you can understand that I will never accept your marriage proposal!"
How could Xiao Ling still insist? He could only say: "Okay, I will revoke my order immediately!"
Prince Li bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
He returned to Prince Li's Mansion with a much more relaxed expression.
The series of events that happened one after another had made him make a decision. Since he had already handed over the power of regent, there was no need for him to stay in the capital.
He called Lin Yiwan over to discuss the matter. His expression was serious as he said, "My fiefdom is in the northern border. I want to take your mother and your brother there first. We'll keep the capital a secret for now. You have to cover for me!"
Lin Yiwan also recognized the situation. No matter how patient and low-key the Prince Li's Mansion was, in the eyes of others, it was still a potential threat to the emperor.
Instead of living in fear every day, it is better to go to your own territory and live freely.
Even if it is difficult and hard, I am willing to do it.
She nodded immediately. "Okay, I agree that you can leave. However, the journey north is long, so you must bring plenty of warm clothes to protect yourself from the long journey!"
Prince Li smiled easily, "Father grew up in the Northern Territory. I can take good care of your mother and your brother, but I'm afraid it will be very troublesome for you to deal with the Emperor!"
Lin Yiwan raised her eyebrows. "I'm not afraid of him. If he causes trouble for me and Ah Yan, we'll leave immediately without even a second of hesitation!"
Zhan Yan also said: "Family must always stay together!"
Prince Li nodded and said, "We will meet again. This short separation is just for a better reunion in the future!"
At nightfall, everyone in the Prince's Mansion was busy packing their bags.
In the palace, Xiao Ling couldn't sleep all night.
Queen Wang looked at him, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
He frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Queen Wang said helplessly, "Your Majesty, I have something I want to tell you, but I'm afraid I might not tell you the truth and cause you more trouble!"
Xiao Ling knew that she was different from ordinary people, so he said softly, "Just tell me, we can't sleep anyway!"
A look of struggle flashed in Queen Wang's eyes, and after a moment she whispered, "Your family ties have faded. Has anything happened to you recently?"
Xiao Ling was stunned. Family relationship?
Is it because of King Li?
He immediately became restless and asked anxiously, "Queen, please explain clearly, how did the kinship relationship fade? Can it be repaired?"
