Yan Boyi looked anxiously at the intelligence reports that his subordinates had sent over. His reputation among the people was very poor right now, and he had offended some prestigious families, not to mention the Hou Clan and the clans that were on good terms with the Hou Clan.
Originally, he had only suspected that the Hou Clan had spread information outside the fu, so he had people temporarily put her under house arrest. But he hadn't thought that the Hou Clan would take such drastic measures and cause such a commotion. With the power of the Hou Clan alone in the wang fu, she couldn't have done this. Then who was helping her in secret?
Was it one of the Old Emperor's people or … Yan Boyi thought of Yan Jinqiu and couldn't help but furrow his brow. Ever since he was young, he had looked down on Yan Jinqiu who appeared gentle on the surface but was insidious on the inside. But right now, he had to admire this person for being able to act to this extent.
The Hou Clan!
He closed the report in his hand with a dark face and suppressed the anger inside. He said: "Send people to send generous gifts to the Hou Fu. I will personally go to the palace to take Jun Wang Fei back to the fu."
The servants saw Jun Wang Ye's ugly expression and didn't dare to speak. They hurriedly prepared a carriage to escort Jun Wang Ye into the palace.
As an adult of the Imperial House, it wasn't good for Yan Boyi to go directly to Shu Fei's palace, so he could only go see the Emperor. But unfortunately, after he entered the hall, other than the Emperor, Xu Wang, Ning Wang, and Yan Jinqiu were also present.
The Wang Ye of the Imperial House saw Yan Boyi come in. There was slight disapproval on their faces, but out of consideration, they didn't speak before Yan Boyi sat down.
"Since you are all present today, zhen should ask what you think," Qilong looked with displeasure at Yan Boyi. "Are you dissatisfied with the Hou Clan, or with zhen?"
This marriage was bestowed by him. Wasn't Prince Sheng provoking him by treating the Hou Clan like this?
"Your Majesty, I did not mean that. I think there must be some misunderstanding." Yan Boyi, who had just sat down, had to sit up again. He walked to the middle of the hall and knelt down. His tone was sincere as he said, "Please give me a chance. I will definitely treat her well." Yan Boyi didn't intend to explain too much. Now that things had escalated to this point, no one cared about the truth. To the common people, the story they loved to hear the most was the story of a heartless man abandoning his first wife. As for the royal family, they would only consider the impact of this matter. As for who was right and who was wrong, it was not that important at all.
Yan Jinqiu raised an eyebrow. Looking at Yan Boyi in the middle of the hall who was full of righteousness, his brow moved slightly. It was more interesting for this kind of righteous person to abuse his first wife.
"What is the meaning of you telling zhen these things now?" The Qilong Emperor stood expressionlessly in the middle of the hall and said in an exasperated tone, "Yesterday, after Princess Sheng entered the palace, she begged Shu fei and hoped to separate from you. When she said this, many of the concubines in the palace heard. How do you want zhen to mediate for you? "
Yan Boyi's expression changed slightly. The Hou Clan had said something like this. But why hadn't anyone passed on what had happened yesterday to his ears? Thinking about this, his mood changed greatly. Someone had purposefully blocked the news.
He reflexively raised his head and turned to look at Yan Jinqiu who was sitting silently in the corner. He only saw the other's calm and indifferent appearance.
"Zhen is talking about your matter. What are you looking at Zi Ling for?" The Qilong Emperor said with a cold expression, "The matter has become like this. All of Jing's people are waiting to see the result. Do you want zhen to forcefully escort Princess Sheng back to you?"
Yan Boyi knew that he had been schemed against this time. The one who schemed against him was the woman by his side. But at this time, he could only grit his teeth and swallow the blood. He suppressed the anger in his heart and knelt in front of the Qilong Emperor: "Your Majesty, please help this nephew."
The Qilong Emperor looked at Yan Boyi who was obediently kneeling in front of him. A trace of satisfaction appeared in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he said: "It is not good for zhen to interfere in this matter. Go and persuade the Hou Clan. The result of this matter is entirely up to her wishes." Speaking to here, his expression suddenly changed, "But no matter what the result of this matter is, you cannot take your anger out on the Hou Clan."
This marriage was bestowed by him. He didn't want those aristocratic families to hold a grudge against him in the end.
Yan Boyi's index finger heavily pinched his palm before he slowly said: "This nephew will remember."
Sitting to the side, the slightly plump Ning Wang suddenly said in a neutral tone: "If you knew this would happen, then why did you do it in the first place? If this matter gets out, our imperial family will lose face."
Yan Boyi was silent.
Xu Wang looked at Ning Wang, who was adding insult to injury, and then looked at the silent Xian Wang. After a moment of thought, he said: "Your Majesty, this is a matter between husband and wife. It is not good for us to interfere. Let us take our leave first."
Ning Wang glared at Xu Wang. This old bastard. Even at this time, he still didn't forget to dig a hole for him to jump into. Too wicked!
At this time, Yan Jinqiu slowly said, "Your Majesty, this nephew thinks that your original intentions in bestowing this marriage are good. But for matters like marriage, no one can be certain of the result. Maybe the two are not fated enough to cause today's result."
"You are right. Aren't you and your wang fei doing well?" The Qilong Emperor seemed to have found an excuse for himself. He then waved his hand, "You can all leave. Zhen does not plan on interfering in this matter. You young people can decide your own marriage. "
The group left the main hall. Yan Jinqiu looked smilingly at Yan Boyi whose face was as black as ink. "Tang Xiong, why don't didi accompany you to Shu Fei's palace?"
It was not appropriate for Yan Boyi to go to Shu Fei's palace alone, but it was more appropriate for the two of them to go together.
"I don't dare to trouble Tang Xiong. Many thanks." Yan Boyi looked indifferently at Yan Jinqiu. "Some matters are better left untouched by outsiders."
Hearing this, Yan Jinqiu smiled and did not comment.
Ning Wang and Xu Wang walked out of the palace together. Ning Wang glanced at Xu Wang. "I didn't think that you are so close to Xian Wang."
Xu Wang's expression was normal. "Caring for the younger generation is the conduct of us elders. Xu Wang, do you have any misgivings?"
"Ha." Ning Wang snorted coldly. After the two had walked for a while, he said, "Then why don't you care more about Prince Sheng?"
Xu Wang stopped walking and looked askance at Ning Wang. "As an elder, isn't it normal to be biased?"
Ning Wang: "…"
Haha.
In the end, Yan Boyi still went to Shu Fei's palace in the name of greeting the elders. Unfortunately, the Hou Clan was not willing to see him. They only said that they were heartbroken and did not want to see him again.
"Junw.a.n.g Ye, Mistress says, please take care of yourself. She is not willing to return to the sad place of the junw.a.n.g fu." Hou s.h.i. +'s personal servant girl looked fearfully at the expressionless Yan Bo Yi and continued, "Junw.a.n.g Ye, please grant her wish."
"Grant her wish?" Yan Boyi looked in the direction of the inner hall, his eyes cold. "I hope that she will not regret this in the future."
The servant girl lowered her head and did not dare to speak.
Yan Bo Yi turned around and walked out of the door without any reluctance. Just as he walked out of the gates of Shu Fei's palace, he saw a woman in splendid attire leading a group of servant girls and taijian in his direction.
He narrowed his eyes slightly. Was this Fahrenheit? He took half a step to the side and turned his head slightly to the side to avoid suspicion.
Hua Xi Wan also saw Yan Boyi. The other was wearing a black brocade robe and looked dignified. From the surface, no one could guess that he was an ambitious person.
Yan Boyi bowed to her. She returned a curtsy. Even though the two seemed to pass by each other, in reality, they were at least three steps apart.
After walking five or six steps, Yan Boyi suddenly remembered the words of a retainer.
If it wasn't for the fact that the di daughter of Nghi An Marquis was too ugly, Jun Wang Ye, if you were to marry her, it would be an excellent choice for you.
What did he say at that time?
He seemed to say that he didn't need to wrong himself for the rest of his life in exchange for an unknown in-laws.
Yan Bo Yi's footsteps came to a halt, and he turned his head to take a look. At the end of the road, the woman in palace dress walked up the steps in front of Imperial Concubine Shu's palace like a moon surrounded by stars.
Suddenly, the other party turned back. It seemed that she didn't expect him to turn back as well. After being stunned for a moment, she returned a faint and polite smile and then quickly walked through the gates of Shu Fei's palace.
Hua Rong Ye.
Yan Boyi's eyes dimmed slightly as he slowly walked through the long palace path.
The Hou Clan was determined to scheme against Yan Boyi and took the highest position in public opinion. Yan Boyi could only silently accept this hidden loss and agree to the Hou Clan's separation.
In order to save some face, he generously returned all the dowry of the Hou Clan and even gave them some extra things. Unfortunately, in the eyes of others, these actions were just a cover-up.
Hua Xi Wan shook her head. If it was the era of her previous life, she was afraid that the Hou Clan's scheme wouldn't have succeeded so easily. Because at that time, there was a kind of water army that could turn white into black and black into white. For example, the battle between Yan Boyi and the Hou Clan could probably last for three hundred rounds and still not determine the winner.
Two days later, the Qilong Emperor personally issued a decree to allow the Hou Clan to separate from Yan Boyi. The Hou Clan would go to a Taoist temple in the suburbs of the capital to meditate and pray for blessings.
This matter seemed to have come to an end, but in private, there were still many people who thought that the Hou Clan must have found out about Prince Sheng and the Crown Princess' shady dealings in the past. Therefore, Prince Sheng put the Hou Clan under house arrest. After the Hou Clan luckily escaped, they would rather go to a Taoist temple to separate from Prince Sheng.
Then the question was, the imperial grandson that the Emperor was personally raising, was he really the Emperor's grandson?
The people's imaginations were very wild, but not all of them were very tight-lipped. Therefore, no matter how low-key a rumor was, it still had the power of a rumor.
Who knew what the Emperor would think if he knew of these rumors?
"Wang Fei, two days ago, we met Prince Sheng outside Shu fei niangniang's palace. Would he guess that you support Jun Wang Fei … … and the Hou Clan's separation?" Red Tassel heard the rumors outside and thought of the events two days ago. She couldn't help but worry. What if her mistress was hated by Prince Sheng?
"Right now, we have already shed all pretense of cordiality with Prince Sheng's fu. It's not important whether he knows or not," Hua Xi Wan shook her head, "Just like how we all know that the assassination last time was related to Prince Sheng, but we don't have evidence. So even if Prince Sheng suspects something is wrong, he can only take this loss. "
Red Tassel understood: "You mean, this matter … …"
Hua Xi Wan glanced at Red Tassel. Red Tassel immediately closed her mouth. She then smiled and said: "It can be seen that the heavens have their own way of reincarnation."
She had thought that the more she thought about it, the more strange it felt. So there really was something strange behind the scenes. But she didn't know if Wang Ye's actions were to help Wang Fei vent her anger, or to suppress Prince Sheng?
Maybe it was both?
