"Just follow my instructions, as long as Su Xin'er doesn't die, nothing will happen."
Dare to deceive him so blatantly, even if she doesn't die, she can't be allowed to live. Half-death is probably the best punishment for a person.
"yes."
Liu Mo didn't dare to say anything more. The prince's face was so ugly, and the people in the palace were having a hard time these days. They were doing things with trepidation, for fear of offending the prince and causing death.
"Huan'er, is there any news?"
After hesitating for a moment, Xuanyuan Rui asked. Although he already knew the answer, he still couldn't help but ask.
"Not yet, Your Majesty, my subordinates are incompetent."
It's extremely difficult to find someone in the vast sea of people. And the person you're looking for can also use the art of disguise. As long as she changes her face, even if she hangs around outside the palace every day, they probably won't know who she is.
"Go down."
Xuanyuan Rui rubbed his temples tiredly, and when he was about to walk to the room, the butler had already led Eunuch Li, who was beside the emperor, in.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty Xuan, please come to the palace immediately. We have important matters to discuss."
imperial study room
Xuanyuan Xu was concentrating on reviewing the memorial. From time to time he would take a few sips of the steaming tea on the side, with a very peaceful look on his face.
"Father."
After Xuanyuan Rui stepped into the imperial study, he calmed down the emotion on his face and then saluted Xuanyuan Xu.
"Rui'er, you're here, sit down quickly."
Seeing his beloved son coming, Xuanyuan Xu put down the memorial in his hand and greeted Zhe warmly. However, he was slightly worried after seeing Xuanyuan Rui being a little listless.
"Rui'er, a man should put his country first, why bother to make himself into a human being and a ghost for the sake of a woman."
Women can be pampered, but they must not be loved, otherwise it will lead to catastrophe.
"Thank you very much for your father's teachings. I will keep them in mind. It's just Huan'er, and I really can't let go of her. I was the one who failed her back then, and now I can only think of myself as having to bear the consequences."
Thinking about the news that he had been abandoned by Huan'er and who knew who had released it, causing uproar in the city these days, Xuanyuan Rui shook his head with a wry smile. Probably only Huan'er could do such a thing.
"Oh, you are just as infatuated as your mother and concubine. That's all. As long as she doesn't interfere in government affairs in the future, everything is up to you."
Xuanyuan Xu didn't force it, after all, Su Huan'er was the prime minister's legitimate daughter, and Su Tai felt very sorry for this daughter. If Rui'er got her, he would definitely get the prime minister's full support.
"Father, don't worry. My son, I want to request a decree to confer Huan'er as the princess and Murong Yun as the side concubine. I don't know..."
Xuanyuan Rui's heart changed, and he said what he had been thinking about these days, and what he wanted to say but couldn't say.
He and Murong Yun had no relationship in the first place, and he only married her for power. In addition, Su Xin'er had been named a side concubine, and if Huan'er was also a side concubine, he would feel ashamed to face Huan'er.
"Rui'er, my father understands your thoughts. It's just that Murong Yun is the direct daughter of the general, and her status is no less noble than Su Huan'er. If her status is lowered so rashly, I'm afraid the people in the general's palace will not
Willingly."
Xuanyuan Xu touched the beard on his chin. When he chose the princess for Rui'er, he hesitated in the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, and finally chose Murong Yun after many weighings. But he didn't expect that Rui'er would
The woman I love turns out to be the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Father, I really don't want to wrong Huan'er anymore."
Xuanyuan Rui is unwilling to back down, and he understands all these reasons. Huan'er has divorced him, and if he wants to marry her back to the palace, he must give her a higher status than the concubine.
"Rui'er, some sacrifices are necessary. My father sacrificed your mother and concubine back then. Now you must also sacrifice some for the sake of Xia Kingdom. Do you understand?"
Xuanyuan Xu persuaded patiently. He had been in love with this child since he was born. He worked even harder for this child to successfully take over the Xia Kingdom. He didn't want to cause trouble in the entire court for the sake of a woman.
peaceful.
"Father..."
Seeing that his father had already talked about this, Xuanyuan Rui couldn't really ask for anything anymore. He just shouted faintly and clenched his fists tightly.
There are indeed too many things in life that he has no control over, so what if he is a prince? He can't even protect his beloved woman, and he has to let her endure such great grievances.
"Rui'er, let father think about this matter again. Think about it again. Maybe there are other ways to solve it."
It is not easy to meet someone you love in life, and Xuanyuan Xu also understands it. Back then, he had no choice, but Rui'er, he really didn't want to see this child regretting his life.
"By the way, my father has decreed to confer Su Xin'er as a concubine. After all, she is also the daughter of the prime minister. No matter what the reason is, you must not treat him harshly."
Suddenly remembering this difficult matter, he couldn't help but give a few words of advice. He knew Rui'er's temper very well. Regarding Su Xin'er's substitutionary marriage, no matter whether she was forced to do so or not, Rui'er would never treat her kindly.
"Humph, father, don't worry, she won't die."
In front of the father who loved him the most, Xuanyuan Rui didn't even bother to hide his hatred. The women in the palace would greet her well, so he didn't need to bother at all.
"You kid, my father really can't do anything to you. You were divorced by Su Huan'er, but you didn't blame her at all. You are very cruel to her sister."
Xuanyuan Xu shook his head. He didn't bother to take care of the child's housework. As long as no one was killed, Su Tai couldn't say anything. After all, the Prime Minister's Mansion had to deal with the problem first. He didn't convict him, so he already saw it.
Rui'er's face was gained.
"Is it important for my father to come to see my son?"
Xuanyuan Rui smiled and did not want to continue the topic just now. Since his father had promised him to think about it again, he would definitely give him a satisfactory answer.
"Well, my father has already drawn up an imperial edict, and he will be crowned as the crown prince tomorrow. Rui'er, starting from tomorrow, you can't refuse to go to court for the sake of women."
Xuanyuan Xu stood up, walked to Xuanyuan Rui, and patted his shoulder. It was time to establish a prince. He had been waiting for this moment for many years.
"Thank you, Father. I will definitely live up to Father's expectations."
Xuanyuan Rui immediately knelt down and thanked him. He felt excited in his heart. After waiting for so many years, this day finally came.
"Well, my father will hold the canonization ceremony for you in three days. You should go back and prepare well. As for Su Huan'er's name, my father will also announce it at the canonization ceremony."
Xuanyuan Xu looked at the sky, and after finishing speaking, he walked out with a smile on his face. The big stone in his heart was finally reduced by half.
