Liu Chan actually didn’t care whether Cao Ling of Zhaoyang Palace would commit suicide because of the failed assassination attempt.
He had no intention of killing her anyway.
She decides whether to live or die.
However, Cao Ling's assassination in the bridal chamber made Liu Chan suspicious of Wang Yuanji.
Now that Han and Wei are enemy countries, it is logical for Cao Ling to pretend to marry and then take the opportunity to assassinate her.
Although Liu Chan was unhappy at this time, he still walked towards Wang Yuanji's Lanlin Palace.
The eunuch Fu'an who followed him was extremely nervous.
He didn't know what happened in the Zhaoyang Palace just now. He only knew that the emperor was in Zhaoyang Palace. He only stayed there for less than half an hour before he walked out of the palace with a look of displeasure on his face.
The emperor's face was ugly, but he could guess something.
Perhaps the Princess of Cao Wei did not really marry the Han Dynasty, but was forced to do so.
Because she is here to get married.
But this emperor just suffered a defeat in the Zhaoyang Palace, why is he going to the Lanlin Palace now? Does he want to suffer a defeat again?
But he didn't dare to dissuade him. After all, the emperor's face didn't look very good at this time, and he didn't dare to offend him.
Lanlin Hall——
The eunuch had previously informed that the emperor had gone to the Zhaoyang Palace tonight, so he thought it was reasonable to agree with common sense. After all, Cao Guiren was the princess of the Wei Dynasty, so Wang Yuanji had already been prepared to sleep under the care of the palace maid.
But as soon as she finished changing, the maid in charge came to tell her.
Your Majesty, the Emperor, has come to the Lanlin Palace.
Although Wang Yuanji is the daughter of an official, she does not understand many rules in the harem.
But I have heard about it to some extent.
So she hurriedly changed her clothes and prepared to greet the emperor. However, before she was fully dressed, Liu Chan had already entered the Lanlin Hall.
"Meet Your Majesty!"
Wang Yuanji hurriedly stepped forward and saluted. Liu Chan had experienced it in Zhaoyang Palace. This Wang Yuanji was also from the Wei State, and it was he who forced her to marry into Chang'an.
If Cao Ling commits an assassination, will Wang Yuanji also want to kill him?
"My dear concubine, please forgive me!"
Liu Chan did not go to help Wang Yuanji, but said casually and sat down at the round table nearby.
There was nothing wrong with Wang Yuanji. After thanking her, she went to bring a pot of tea, poured a cup of tea for Liu Chan, and sat down to serve him.
Liu Chan did not drink tea, but said calmly: "My dear concubine, do you want to kill me? If you want to kill me, you can do it now."
But as soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, Wang Yuanji suddenly looked shocked and said in panic: "Why did your Majesty say this? I have already married into Chang'an, and I am your Majesty's woman. How dare I do this?"
"Oh???" Liu Chan was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't see any dodge from Wang Yuanji. Her eyes were sincere and didn't look like she was lying.
"My beloved concubine and Cao Guiren are both daughters of Cao Wei," Liu Chan said, untying the handkerchief in his hand, revealing a row of tooth marks and a blood-stained handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Cao Guiren wants to kill me, my beloved concubine.
Don’t you resent me?”
This scared Wang Yuanji.
She married into Chang'an with Cao Ling, but she didn't know that Cao Ling wanted to kill Liu Chan, and no one told her that this time she and her parents were intended to assassinate the Han Emperor Liu Chan.
"Your Majesty!" Wang Yuanji said: "If Your Majesty is suspicious, please grant me death."
Liu Chan has injuries on his hands, and he has already made it clear that Cao Ling is responsible for the assassination. I am afraid that Cao Ling has already committed suicide. Now in Liu Chan's eyes, she must also be on an assassination mission.
Now, for Wang Yuanji, who is only fifteen years old, she is really at a loss for words.
Originally, she would have a normal marriage. According to her parents' arrangements, she will marry into the General's Palace this year and become the daughter-in-law of the Sima family.
However, a few months before the marriage, she broke off her engagement with the Sima family and became one of the married women of Wei and Han.
She was very sad to receive this news.
It’s also very depressing.
However, she is only a fifteen-year-old daughter.
There is nothing she can do.
Even the marriage contract with the Sima family was not her wish, because the important matter of marriage was originally ordered by the parents and the matchmaker, and it was the daughter who made her own decisions.
What's more, she is the daughter of an official.
Although she was depressed about remarrying before her wedding, she could only accept it.
Because she can't change anything.
But now, she knows that there is such a conspiracy in this political marriage.
And she was also involved, so she gave up her defense.
Either way, death is inevitable, so it's easier to accept your fate.
Seeing Wang Yuanji looking like she was begging for death, Liu Chan was a little puzzled. According to his understanding, Cao Ling's assassination must have been arranged by Cao Rui, the leader of Wei, who wanted to assassinate him on their wedding night.
Wang Yuanji is another married woman. Cao Ling wants to kill him, so Wang Yuanji will inevitably become a backup. Once Cao Ling fails, perhaps the assassination task will fall on Wang Yuanji.
Originally, Liu Chan came to Lanlin Hall and wanted to expose her.
But when he saw Wang Yuanji, he gave up the plan.
Why is it so troublesome? Why not just show your cards directly?
But look at Wang Yuanji’s expression now.
She doesn't seem to be pretending, because her eyes are sincere and without a trace of impurity.
Could it be that she didn't know about the assassination at all?
Even Cao Ling was not punished, so naturally he would not punish this woman who could give birth to Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, so Liu Chan stood up and helped Wang Yuanji up.
"My beloved, get up quickly!"
Wang Yuanji looked aggrieved. Liu Chan gently fiddled with her hair and comforted her: "I am too worried. Please don't worry about my beloved concubine." Then he smiled and said, "I think Cao Guiren doesn't want to marry me."
Concubine, that’s why you want to assassinate me.”
"Your Majesty!" Wang Yuanji asked in confusion: "Princess?..."
Looking at the frightened Wang Yuanji, Liu Chan said with a smile: "I am not a murderer. Although Cao Guiren wants to assassinate me, I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty. If destiny allows me to die at the hands of Cao Guiren or my beloved concubine,
I just admit it."
"Since Cao Guiren can't kill me," Liu Chan laughed and said, "Why should I care about a woman?" He said to Wang Yuanji with certainty, "Of course I didn't make things difficult for her."
Wang Yuanji was immediately shocked.
"Your Majesty is merciful." Wang Yuanji was blessed and said, "Although your Majesty is the emperor, the princess has murderous intentions. If your Majesty does not punish her today, I am afraid she will..."
Surprise——
Wang Yuanji's words immediately shocked Liu Chan.
Because the Wang Yuanji he remembered was a virtuous and virtuous woman.
But what she said was very clear.
Since Cao Ling has made murderous intentions and Liu Chan doesn't care about it today, will she remember the emperor's kindness in not killing her in the future and keep her peace from now on?
Liu Chan suddenly regretted whether he was too self-righteous or too merciful.
This is the chaotic time of the Three Kingdoms.
But it was not the peaceful and prosperous life of his previous life.
In troubled times, a woman's benevolence will probably suffer a big loss.
"If it is the wish of my beloved concubine," Liu Chan suddenly asked, "How should I deal with the matter of Mr. Cao?"
Liu Chan wanted to know how Wang Yuanji, who historically managed the Jin Dynasty's harem in an orderly manner, would handle Cao Ling's assassination.
Wang Yuanji frowned slightly, as if she had an unspeakable expression.
After all, Cao Ling is the princess of the Wei Dynasty, and they all come from Luoyang.
But Liu Chan asked her what to do with Cao Ling.
This——
