Pei Yuhan was stunned for a moment when he saw the two holding hands tightly.
She felt that the two people in front of her looked like a couple with a deep affection. Seeing them standing together gave her a sense of peace and tranquility.
But thinking of his own purpose, Pei Yuhan still said: "My lord, you should go to my room today."
Leng Moran looked at her with an unmoved look and said, neither salty nor cool: "The emperor only said that I would marry you as my princess, but he didn't say that he wanted to consummate the marriage."
Pei Yuhan was speechless for a moment by such an answer. When she wanted to ask another question, she saw Leng Moran's fingers gently stroking Xiao Xixi's hair.
Then, he took her into his arms, bowed slightly, and kissed her on the lips.
Being watched by outsiders, even if it was just a kiss like a dragonfly, Xiao Xixi's cheeks still turned red.
Pei Yuhan was dumbfounded, his eyes widened and he forgot to react for a moment.
Leng Moran glanced at her and said, "Aren't you leaving yet? Do you still want to see me getting close to the princess?"
Pei Yuhan rubbed her handkerchief and mustered up her courage to say, "I am the Emperor's personally designated Princess Yan."
"I have only one princess."
Saying that, Leng Moran cast his gentle gaze on Xiao Xixi.
Seeing that he couldn't argue, Pei Yuhan was afraid of offending Leng Moran, so he stopped asking for trouble and left angrily.
…
After Pei Yuhan entered Prince Yan's palace, she had no worries about food and clothing. All arrangements were made according to the princess' regulations, but she could not see Leng Moran's face at all.
The servants in the house were respectful to her, but she could tell that these people did not regard her as their master, but more like a guest who came to stay temporarily in the house.
At first, Pei Yuhan would flutter unwillingly, but after eating nails several times, she gave up.
The couple is deeply in love and doesn't give her a chance at all. Why should she ask for trouble?
Anyway, as Leng Moran said, Emperor Honghui just asked her to marry him and didn't say that he wanted to consummate the marriage?
Besides, wouldn’t the concubine of the clan who was previously married remarry again?
I heard that Prince Yan's Mansion also sent people to send congratulatory gifts, which was considered as a favor to her.
It shows that as long as you don't anger King Yan, you can live a comfortable life.
Pei Yuhan was persuaded by this truth and lived his life honestly in the house, eating and drinking as he should, without taking anything into consideration.
Before Leng Moran could find out the mastermind, Emperor Honghui suddenly fell seriously ill.
In fact, Emperor Honghui had always been in poor health, and the worse his health became, the more he became obsessed with elixirs, hoping to stay away from illness.
But it happened that the Imperial Master was able to make pills that made Emperor Honghui better. Emperor Honghui trusted him, and there was nothing anyone else could do.
Now, as soon as Emperor Honghui fell ill, the Imperial Preceptor disappeared without a trace. Everyone could see that this matter was related to the Imperial Preceptor.
But the most important thing now is the life of Emperor Honghui. The prince is only four years old and it is difficult for him to hold a big position. Everyone hopes that Emperor Honghui will get better.
The imperial doctors in the imperial hospital tried their best to treat him, but they could only save Emperor Honghui's breath. It was difficult for him to even stand up, let alone deal with state affairs.
Queen Murong came out to take charge of the overall situation, leaving Leng Moran to temporarily take over the government affairs.
Just like this, after the New Year, Emperor Honghui suddenly seemed to be in good spirits one day, able to eat and drink, and told many things.
The queen knew that Emperor Honghui was probably having a flashback, so she summoned Leng Moran to the palace.
The Queen trusted Leng Moran. In her opinion, Leng Moran was one of the people who most wanted the Emperor to get better, so at this time, the Queen would be willing to hand over her power to him.
Leng Moran met Emperor Honghui and talked about many things.
Emperor Honghui also knew that he was about to die. His biggest regret was that he could not watch the princes and princesses under his knees grow up. Among these people, he was most worried about the youngest sixth prince.
He asked Leng Moran to take good care of the Sixth Prince and Fu Qingjiao, and to provide more help to them, mother and son.
Leng Moran agreed.
Emperor Honghui was in a very good mood, but he did not summon Fu Qingjiao. He probably did not expect that he would leave in such a hurry.
That night, Emperor Honghui died suddenly.
Leng Moran and Princess Yongzhao entered the palace overnight to stabilize the situation.
However, chaos still occurs.
The young prince was suddenly killed.
Fortunately, Leng Moran arrived in time and was able to protect the prince safely.
The palace official who committed the crime only said that he had been treated harshly by the queen, so he wanted to seek revenge from the prince, and did not admit that anyone was instigating the crime.
Through mind-reading, Leng Moran heard his voice.
It's Fu Qingjiao.
Did Fu Qingjiao become unable to sit still so quickly?
Xiao Xixi told him that in the future she could meet, Emperor Honghui died much later than now, and the sixth prince born to Fu Qingjiao was already six years old at that time.
The prince was sick and the other princes died one after another. The sixth prince finally took the throne.
And he is the regent.
But now, the sixth prince is less than one year old, and it's hard to say what his future will be like. What's the point of Fu Qingjiao doing this?
Is it for Fu Qiuyuan?
Fu Qingjiao really planned to put her son on the throne, and she listened to the government behind the curtain in order to rescue her father.
Unfortunately, news came the next day that Fu Qiuyuan had died in prison.
Fu Qingjiao was so distraught that she went to Leng Moran to question her, regardless of the palace officials' obstruction.
At that time, Leng Moran, Princess Yongzhao, Queen Murong and other ministers were all discussing matters together.
Fu Qingjiao rushed into the palace and shouted angrily with sinister eyes: "Did you kill my father?"
Leng Moran's face was expressionless and he didn't even look at her.
Princess Yongzhao had a bad impression of Fu Qingjiao because she was so favored, so she didn't bother to pay attention to her.
It was Empress Murong who said: "Fu Cairen, your father's death was an accident. Now we are looking for the murderer."
Fu Qingjiao shook her head to express disbelief, gritted her teeth and said: "You surrounded the prison like an iron barrel, and now you tell me it was an accident, why should I believe you?"
Empress Murong shook her head. Fortunately, she used to think that Fu Qingjiao was a sensible person, but now it seems that he can be so crazy.
She said: "Whether you believe it or not, these are facts."
A sneer appeared on Fu Qingjiao's face, "I will make you pay the price."
Leng Moran knew that Fu Qingjiao would do whatever it took. Hearing this, he frowned and said to the queen: "Fu Cairen is afraid that she is too sad to speak arbitrarily. It's better to let her go back and take a good rest."
When he said this, Murong Si could quickly understand what he meant, so he gave the order and sent several nuns to guard Fu Qingjiao. The palace where she was was also guarded.
When Fu Qingjiao was taken down, she looked at Leng Moran in disbelief until he disappeared from her sight.
Everyone gathered together to discuss the future head of a country.
It stands to reason that after the death of Emperor Honghui, the prince born to Empress Murong should succeed him.
But now that the prince is young and in poor health, Murong Si hopes to choose someone from the royal family to succeed him. Among the royal family, she is most optimistic about Leng Moran.
Murong Si explained: "I am the queen of Chu and the princess of Zhao. The prince is young now. If he succeeds to the throne, I am afraid someone in Zhao will be upset."
Her brother died of illness a long time ago and left no bloodline. The current monarch of Zhao is a member of her clan, but she is not familiar with him.
Once the young prince reaches that position, it is hard to say what Zhao will do in the name of the prince.
Princess Yongzhao also agreed with Leng Moran's succession. After all, it was the only bloodline left by her brother. She really wanted to see Leng Moran take that position for her brother.
Moreover, she felt that if Emperor Honghui, who had just died, knew that Leng Moran had succeeded him, he would not mind.
They are always a family, and being in the royal family will not block their blood and family ties.
