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

Chapter 44: What does Chen Jingting have to do with it?

The emperor looked back and forth between Wen Xingchen and Furun, his eyes full of wisdom. He seemed to guess that Xiao Bo was the choice of Wen Xingchen and Furun.

He had no doubt about the power of the Zhuge family plus Wen Xingchen and the Chen family.

He looked at Xiao Bo, with a hint of envy in his eyes: Why does he do that?

Whether Mr. Xiao can do the job depends on his ability.

The throne is not something that anyone can take.

"Father, you can't do this to me. Look at my small body. I can't do such a thing. I..."

However, the emperor withdrew his gaze from him and said gently to Xingchen:

"I understand, Xingchen, go find your aunt first. I know what to do about this."

"Yes, Xingchen will take his leave first."

Before leaving, she said to Uncle Xiao, "Cousin Xiao, I remember all the kindness you've shown me recently, and I'll definitely repay you."

"Cousin, I really didn't do anything to offend you."

"Yeah, you didn't do it, but you were nice to me, so I said I was repaying you."

"..."

The emperor asked Furun curiously, "What has Xiao Bo done recently?"

"Xiao Bo said bad things about Xingchen behind her back and warned Chen Jingting not to get close to Xingchen."

"He really deserves it." Mind your own business.

Kunning Palace

After Wen Xingchen left, the Queen was having dinner. She asked Xingchen to sit down and eat a few bites. Wen Xingchen shook his head and said, "Aunt, Xingchen is sleepy and wants to take a nap."

"Xingchen is sleepy, so go to your cousin's room and take a nap first."

"Yes, Xingchen, take your leave."

The Queen then ordered, "Nan Sheng, go and help the princess rest. Serve her well..."

"Yes, I will serve the princess well."

Not long after Wen Xingchen fell asleep, Furun came back.

The queen had the dishes served again and asked her daughter to eat a few bites first. Her daughter had been busy recently and had lost weight.

Furun ate a few bites and felt full.

She ate with her father every day, so she wasn't very hungry, but she didn't want to disappoint her mother.

He asked someone to put the food down and then asked:

"Mother, where is Xingchen?"

"Fell asleep in your room, kid, tired."

"Isn't she tired? She's been working really hard these past few days to raise funds for disaster relief. When my daughter saw her, the dark circles under her eyes were really scary."

Some news about the princess's recent righteous deeds outside has been reported back to the palace. The imperial concubine once came to test her, but she sent her away.

The recent changes in the stars are really big.

She even suspected that the child was possessed by evil spirits.

"Xingchen has become much more sensible recently."

"She said that Chen Silang brought her good luck."

The queen laughed after hearing this.

"Chen Silang is also good."

"That's good. My daughter heard from Uncle Xiao that Chen Silang has been busy these days, lobbying various wealthy businessmen to participate in the auction of Xingchen's jewelry. Humph, Chen Silang is good, but poor."

Fu Run thought for a moment and said, "Mother, Xingchen used to be like that, but suddenly she became so outstanding. Did she have someone behind her who was guiding her, or was she just like that?"

The queen shook her head.

"Furun, time reveals a person's true character. He used to love Prince Jin deeply, and Prince Jin naturally doesn't want others to be better than him. Xingchen is smart and courageous, how could he not understand?"

"But I'm always worried that one day she will change back to her original form."

The queen smiled.

"Not anymore."

"why?"

"You can't fake the look of love in someone's eyes. The way she looks at Prince Jin now doesn't show love. Instead, it's indifference and disgust."

After hearing this, Furun felt relieved.

"Mother, when Xingchen wakes up, give her some things. She has sold everything. She is so pitiful." That's cruel enough.

"That's as it should be." When Xingchen came over today, her hair was quite plain. It was really pitiful for a girl who loved to dress up.

......

Xingchen didn't know how long he slept, and when he woke up, it was already dark.

When Wen Xingchen woke up, there was light in the room. She was so hungry that she couldn't bear it, so she got up.

When he opened the bed curtain, he saw Furun reading a memorial by lamplight, and he suddenly remembered his past life.

Since his youngest son was still young, he was in charge of all the government affairs.

She has no men in this harem, and all she has is loneliness day and night.

Reading memorials and handling government affairs became her long-term pleasure.

Hey

Furun heard a long sigh and looked up and said:

"Xingchen, you're awake."

Wen Xingchen got off the bed, walked to Furun and sat opposite her.

"Is today's matter resolved?"

"Yes, it's resolved. Father ordered the three princes to handle disaster relief. Prince Jin refused, Prince Wu claimed illness, and ultimately the task fell to Uncle Xiao. Chen Jingting assisted."

She could guess that King Jin refused, and Xicheng must have told him how serious the flood was.

And looking at history, disaster relief is a tough job.

He does not seek to achieve anything but to avoid making mistakes, so the King of Jin will not go.

But what does this have to do with Chen Jingting?

Wen Xingchen frowned and asked:

"What are you asking Chen Jingting to do? Haven't we seen each other for several months?"

"How do you know it will take several months? Disaster relief only takes ten days or half a month."

No, Wen Xingchen just knew that the disaster was serious.

Fu Run stared at Wen Xingchen and asked suspiciously, "Have you been very sensitive to the development of things recently?"

"How do you know the court has no money and needs to raise it? And how do you know this was done by the Xi family?"

"Wen Xingchen, are you hiding something from me?"

"..."

Furun is really sharp.

Found it so quickly.

However, Wen Xingchen did not hide it, but asked: "Cousin Furun, do you believe in past lives and present lives?"

"What it is?"

Wen Xingchen knew that she didn't believe it.

"That day, when the sun set and the water began to flow, I had a dream. I dreamt about many things, including this flood."

"Did you dream about it?"

Wen Xingchen nodded.

"If I tell even a single lie, I will never be loved again in this life."

Furun frowned: It seems that such a big oath is true.

"How did you dream about this flood?"

"The flood was severe, with millions of bodies buried. The entire Jiangnan region was nearly wiped out."

Furun was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"If all of this was planned by the Xi family, then they are truly despicable."

"Floods are natural disasters, but failure to suppress them is a man-made disaster. The Xi family is despicable and deserves to die. Sooner or later, we will deal with them."

Fu Run asked again, "You suddenly disliked Prince Jin because of a dream. What did you dream about?"

Wen Xingchen said, "Of course I dreamed that Prince Jin was being hypocritical towards me and that I was being used."

"......" Furun looked at her and seemed to speak easily, but the hatred in his eyes was obvious.

"It's just a dream. What if it's just a dream?"

Wen Xingchen looked at her and said seriously, "Princess, the man you keep in the Princess Mansion, Li Chuying, is the illegitimate child of the Xi family. You should be careful with him."

"Li Chuying?"

"I've dealt with Wu Yong for you, but I can't touch Li Chuying, so there's no reason to deal with her."

Deal with Wu Yong?

She went on stage to debate, was it to boycott Wu Yong?
