Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the dude to take power

Empress Xi was suddenly stunned.

She didn't understand why Wen Xingchen would jump into the river. Why would she jump into the river in such a cold day?

She jumped into the river, so my accusation that she was still thinking about His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin was self-defeating.

It's winter now, and if you're not careful, your life could be in danger.

"How could she jump into the river?"

"Is she okay?"

If anything happened to her, the emperor would never let it go.

You are in danger.

Fu Run said, "It's hard to say whether he's alright or not. He was just pulled out of the water and the imperial physician is watching him."

"..."

Xiao Bo asked, "Empress Xifei, is my second brother an accomplice or the mastermind in this matter?"

Accomplice and mastermind?

Xi Fei quickly retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about? Your second brother knows nothing."

Xiao Bo murmured softly.

"I wonder if my father will believe it?" He pretended to be confused and asked the Empress, "Mother, do you believe it?"

The Empress said, "Your second brother was taken to a side hall by her, so it will be difficult to clear him of suspicion. Let your father personally interrogate him when he is free."

She is not qualified to be the queen in order to interrogate the prince.

However, if the emperor begins an interrogation and involves His Royal Highness Prince Jin, then Prince Jin will end up in trouble.

Xiao Bo said truthfully:

"Second brother must be in trouble."

Concubine Xi was torn between two things, but she finally knelt before the Empress and said, "This matter was done by me alone. It has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin."

Xiao Bo stood up and said, "Mother, I will go see my cousin Xingchen."

"Go ahead. Furun, you go too. Have the imperial doctors stay over there and make sure nothing happens to her."

"Yes, I obey my orders."

In the side hall

Wen Xingchen sneezed repeatedly. Even though there were more than a dozen charcoal braziers burning in the house to keep it warm, it couldn't prevent her from catching a cold.

Wen Xingchen drank a bowl of medicine and felt a little drowsy.

She lay in bed, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Chen Jingting stood outside the side hall, his eyes always following the people inside, as if worried and regretful.

Xiao Bo and Fu Run came over. Fu Run went in to visit Wen Xingchen first, while Xiao Bo greeted Chen Jingting who was standing outside.

Chen Jingting had changed his clothes. He was in excellent physical condition. After falling into the water, he drank a bowl of ginger soup and showed no signs of illness at all.

He has a sturdy figure and a handsome appearance.

But that cold brow was looking straight at him.

It seems like an exploration and an interrogation.

Xiao Bo touched his nose in dismay.

He knew he was blaming him, but he didn't regret it.

Learning from past experiences, Wen Xingchen has always been ruthless to men other than Prince Jin.

But today, he saw Wen Xingchen's true love for Chen Jingting.

A person who would rather jump into the river to protect Chen Jingting's reputation is truly sincere.

The other one, for the sake of both of their reputations, does not take advantage of others in distress, a true gentleman who can be witnessed by heaven and earth.

These two people are extremely well matched.

"Your Highness, Prince Wu, do you have anything to say to me?"

"Princess Huayang really likes you, so you should be nice to her in the future."

"Humph, if you hadn't been talking nonsense to me..."

Without waiting for Chen Jingting to finish, Xiao Bo said directly, "You still don't believe her. If you did, why would you care what others say?"

Chen Jingting: "Absurdity, Your Highness King Wu, are you challenging my trust?"

Xiao Bo shook his head.

"This prince is also doing this for your own good, for the good of the Chen family."

"I can slap Your Majesty right now and then tell you it's for your own good. What do you think?"

Xiao Bo: “?”

However, before Xiao Bo could respond, Wen Xingchen inside shouted, "Xiao Bo, come in."

Wen Xingchen's voice was cold.

Xiao Bo's expression suddenly changed and he was extremely frightened.

Chen Jingting said, "I wish Your Highness good luck. I hope that after Your Highness enters, he will be as confident and righteous as he was when facing me."

Xiao Bo:.......

"What are you dawdling for? Come in quickly."

Xiao Bo didn't really want to go in, but he knew the consequences of not going in.

Whenever she went to her father to cry and complain, someone would teach her a lesson.

So he stepped in, all smiles on his face.

"Cousin, why are you so desperate as to jump into the river? If you can't find anyone, you can look for your cousin. He is willing to sacrifice himself for you."

Wen Xingchen snorted coldly.

I really look down on you.

"Come closer."

Xiao Bo laughed and said, "Cousin, men and women shouldn't touch each other. This distance is very good. Besides, Chen Silang is still watching outside."

Chen Silang outside said: "Your Majesty, if it is you, I believe you and Princess Huayang."

Shaw: ...

Fu Run stepped forward and patted Xiao Bo on the shoulder, saying, "If you stick your head out, you'll get a knife. If you hide your head, you'll get a knife too. You'd better let her vent her anger."

Then he kicked his knee again, and Xiao Bo was kicked directly to the ground in front of the bed.

Wen Xingchen said coldly, "Uncle Xiao, I asked you to invite Chen Jingting, what did you do?"

"My younger brother invited him here."

"What nonsense did you say to him?"

"I'm not just talking nonsense, that's what everyone says. But don't worry, I don't believe it. I don't know whether Chen Silang believes it or not."

"You're still playing dumb with me. Did you tell him that I was going to break off the engagement with Xiao Sheng?"

"Cousin, you told me to invite him here, and I have already done so. As for the process, it's not necessary, is it?"

"So, that's what you said, right?"

"..."

Silence is acquiescence.

At this moment, Wen Xingchen had a stick in his hand from nowhere and hit Xiao Bo's arm directly.

She could hear a crackling sound and wondered if it was a broken bone.

Uncle Xiao covered his arm and cried out, "Cousin, spare my life."

Wen Xingchen was so angry when he saw him like this.

"You don't have to spend the New Year in the capital. Go out."

"Huh? Where to go?"

"Go to Shanxi, the governor of Shanxi, Qiao Renliang. I've heard he's not a good person, so go to Shanxi and investigate him. If you can't find any evidence that he committed a crime, you don't have to come back."

"Cousin, who told you that? What mistake did he make? You have to tell me."

Wen Xingchen shook his head: "That's why I want you to check it out."

Then Wen Xingchen looked at Furun, and Furun mourned for Xiao Bo in his heart, but only for a moment.

"My cousin has confirmed that Governor Xishan is guilty, so let's investigate."

Shaw: ...

Xiao Bo thought of something and said, "Cousin, it's time for you to get married. Without your brother, who will carry your sedan chair? I always feel like something is missing."

"Without you, my life will definitely be better."

Shaw: ...

Uncle Xiao regretted that he was so nosy.

What does the life and death of the Chen family have to do with him?

"Why don't you give your brother a few beatings? It's New Year's Day and he wants to be reunited with his father, the emperor, his mother, the empress, and his concubines."

"You do not deserve."

Xiao Bo: "So cruel?"

It's just so cruel.
