Two days later, the Jingzhao Mansion made a verdict. Prince Bao was given poisonous wine and died, leaving his body intact.
With Hongye leaving the capital, Prince Bao being convicted, and Prince An being imprisoned, the matter seemed to have calmed down.
However, everyone knew in their hearts that this was the preparation for a confrontation between the two countries, and it was also the beginning of the defeat of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
Beneath this calmness is a pot of boiling water. I don't know when it will boil and the lid of this calm pot will be overturned.
Although Yu Wenhao was still the governor of Jingzhao, he had already entered the cabinet and left many things in the government to the King of Qi. He discussed matters with Chu Shoufu and Jingyan and others all day long. Sometimes even when he was out of the palace, he would go to Chu's house.
I went over there and came back in the middle of the night.
Yuan Qingling was also busy with medical school affairs, and the couple's time was completely different. When Yu Wenhao came home, Yuan Qingling had fallen asleep early. When Yuan Qingling went out, Yu Wenhao had just fallen asleep. Not long after, their only
To communicate, Yu Wenhao kisses her when he comes back, and kisses him when she goes out.
Yuan Qingling knew that he was making a plan to counter-infiltrate Xianbei. The selection of people and even the entire plan were very thorough. If he made the slightest mistake, he would not be able to accomplish anything, and it would also cost lives.
The trade between the Northern Tang Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty was also in full swing.
Fourth Master took on many orders from the Great Zhou Dynasty, eroding half of the market. His headquarters also moved from Zhili to Kyoto, and he finally established a firm foothold here.
As the son-in-law of the emperor, he had enough influence to quickly gain the trust of merchants in the capital. He was also generous and everyone liked to do business with him.
However, some people secretly thought that he and the princess had been married for some time, but they didn't see her belly bloating.
This rumor made Yu Wenling very troubled, and Yuan Qingling went to comfort her. This is how it is in this era. If you get married for more than three months, you will be criticized if you are not pregnant.
Lu Yuan's condition has improved a lot. He can speak simple words and stand up and walk. This is thanks to Yuan Yongyi's company. Ever since Yuan Qingling said that Lu Yuan needed physical therapy, she has been walking and practicing with Lu Yuan every day. Lu Yuan has a foundation of internal strength.
So progress was rapid.
King An still didn't come to apologize. Of course he had a reason, because he was grounded. However, he ordered someone to send a letter to Lu Yuan. It was a letter of apology. Lu Yuan burned it after reading it and did not give it to his parents.
See, I didn’t tell anyone else.
Lu Yuan knew very well in his heart that the emperor knew about this matter, but he did not deal with it. If he pursued it blindly, he would offend the royal family. He could not let the entire family fall into trouble.
Fortunately, the emperor also knew his grievances and made him the Marquis of Ping'an.
Yes, it's good to be safe.
He is very happy that Yuan Yongyi has become his god-sister. When it comes to marriage, he admits that he doesn't really want to get married. Every martial arts practitioner has a dream of a knight in his heart. He hopes to be able to travel to the ends of the world with his sword.
This ideal is the same as that of Yuan Yongyi, but if a person who is about to go out has worries in his heart, then this journey will not be smooth.
After Lu Yuan's condition stabilized, he began to practice martial arts.
His willpower was amazing. Yuan Qing Lingben said that it would take a long time for him to recover, but it took him two months to get back to walking.
After Lu Yuan recovered, he said he wanted to leave the capital. The days of sleeping made him feel that time was precious and he had to speak up and act.
The Lu family's parents had no choice but to agree.
Before leaving, he made an appointment with King Qi.
King Qi came to accompany him almost every day when he was in a coma, but he never came after he woke up.
King Qi thought that he would not know about that period of companionship, so he was very surprised to receive Lu Yuan's letter.
After careful consideration, he went anyway.
Lu Yuan sent Yuan Yongyi away in advance, so this conversation was between two men and no one else was present.
The weather was already very cold. After the calamity, Lu Yuan looked much weaker than before. His face had not yet returned to its previous ruddy color, and there was an uncontrollable paleness between his eyebrows.
He personally cooked wine and invited King Qi to sit down.
His grace and generosity reflected King Qi's cautiousness, and his words were also cautious and measured, "Congratulations on being awarded the title of Marquis of Ping'an."
"Thank you!" Lu Yuan grinned, seeing the sunshine of the past, "The word peace is particularly important."
"Yes." After King Qi sat down, he had nothing to say, so he just sat and drank.
Seeing him like this, Lu Yuan laughed, "I still like the way the prince chatters in my ears."
King Qi's face turned red and he looked at him with wide eyes, "You...you heard everything?"
"It's amazing, I actually heard everything." Lu Yuan smiled, getting brighter and brighter, "Besides, I remember every word the prince said, but don't worry, I didn't tell my sister."
King Qi was immediately ashamed. He didn't dare to say these words to anyone. He knew that Lu Yuan couldn't hear them and wouldn't react, so he said them to Lu Yuan. Unexpectedly, he actually remembered them all after listening to them.
.
"I admire Your Majesty's deep love for my sister Yuan, but I look down upon Your Majesty's cowardly actions," Lu Yuan said.
King Qi drank the wine in one gulp, blushing as he drank, to cover up his inner shock, "You...do you really have no personal affection for her?"
Lu Yuan turned his head and thought for a moment, "At the beginning, I did feel excited. I once thought that if I wanted to get married in this life, it would be to marry a woman like her. After that, our two families got engaged and our relationship was confirmed.
, but I hesitated a little.”
"Why?" King Qi didn't understand. Since he was an ideal person, why did he hesitate?
"Because," Lu Yuan looked at him with a knowing expression, "if two people know each other well, have the same interests, and appreciate each other, then it is best for them to be friends and brothers, not husband and wife."
King Qi looked at him blankly, "Then I don't understand even more. We are close friends and have the same interests, so why can't we be husband and wife?"
"Because once we become a couple, we will have strict requirements. I will hope that she can stay with me, and I hope that she can take care of the housework and have children. Days like this will wear away our relationship and eventually we will forget
Why do we come together?"
"What you said makes sense...Does it mean that people who don't know each other can get married?" Although King Qi was very happy that he thought so, he did not agree with what he said.
"It's different. We didn't start out with feelings. We don't have a solid emotional foundation. We just appreciate each other and understand each other. I appreciate her advantages, but her advantages are not the advantages of being a wife. One day, I will be a qualified wife.
Come and ask for her."
"I still don't understand." He shook his head, feeling that Lu Yuan and his thoughts were not in the same dimension.
Lu Yuan looked at him, a little helpless, so he simply said more straightforwardly, "I appreciate her straightforward personality, her ability to distinguish between black and white, and her love of fighting injustices. She is so radiant and attractive."
"Well, yes, I deeply agree!" King Qi finally agreed with him.
"But one day, she becomes my wife and her identity changes. The advantages I once admired in her will become a problem for me, because it is likely to cause some unnecessary trouble. I might be happy to be with her at the beginning.
She faces it together, but what happens after a long time? Will I have any complaints? If it were the prince, would you have any complaints? "
"No," King Qi straightened his back and said with determination and indifference, "If she causes a huge disaster, I will advance and retreat with her together, and will never give up or complain."
