"You said, this is a play performed by Su Nianyun?"
Zhao Chengji thought about what Guard Sun said.
However, he finally shook his head.
At first, he did think so as Guard Sun, but after the Queen Mother arrived in time, he knew that it couldn't be Su Nianyun.
Everyone knows that the Queen Mother doted on her adopted daughter Su Nianyun more than her biological daughter.
Just seeing that Su Nianyun went against her will and insisted on marrying into the Chen family, and the Queen Mother even arranged a dowry for her that was twice as much as that of the royal princess's own princess, you can tell how much the Queen Mother cared for her.
Later, in order to protect her husband who committed fraud in the prison examination room, Su Nianyun let him be released from prison without any punishment.
Among them, Su Nianyun's set of free refreshments at Jinming Tower certainly won the hearts of scholars, but without the support of the Queen Mother, she would not have been able to completely rescue him from prison.
Later, Su Nianyun finally saw Chen Shaoan's true face, and he and Li resolutely left the Chen Mansion. The Queen Mother did not say anything to Su Nianyun.
The Queen Mother doted on Su Nianyun so much. There was no need for her to be at a loss because of his professing love to her, and instead asked the emperor to stop him.
This is simply impossible to happen.
Moreover, the reason why he took the initiative to ask the court to go out to fight against Fan Bang was because he knew that his father was very upset about losing to Fan Bang.
Since he has such grudges, he doesn't want to see Xiao Changfeng when it comes to people and events back then, so naturally he shouldn't want to see Su Nianyun either.
Su Nianyun has lived in the palace for so long, would she not know how the emperor treats her?
How could she go to the emperor who didn't like her at all for help?
After thinking about this, Zhao Chengji shook his head and said, "It's definitely not Su Nianyun. Guard Sun will leave it to you outside the palace."
"Look into this matter carefully and don't miss any clues!"
"yes!"
After Sun Guards also left, Zhao Chengji lowered the curtain and sealed himself in the carriage.
"Father, Father!"
He sighed leisurely, "I worked hard in Mobei and risked my life, but I can only gain this little level of trust from you?"
If Su Nianyun chooses to marry him, will his father take away his title of prince on the spot?
To say that you want to achieve a marriage is basically a ruthless temptation.
What he originally thought was that he didn't want to waste Su Nianyun's ability and didn't want outsiders to pick up the slack.
Father, what are you thinking about?
Are you afraid that your son will take advantage of the Queen Mother behind Su Nianyun?
Concubine Li has been gone for so long, it’s time for you to go look for her, right?
Otherwise, it would be too sad to let her wait at Naihe Bridge for too long...
The carriage did not return to the Prince's Mansion, but went to an elegant residence in a small alley not far from Nangong Mansion.
This was specially purchased by the Nangong family.
There, Nangong Yue, the former crown princess who was later abandoned by Zhao Chengzhi, was waiting eagerly.
When Zhao Chengji's carriage arrived at the door, she rushed over quickly.
Seeing the tall figure slowly coming down from the carriage, she greeted him happily, "Why did you come so late today?"
Normally, when the DPRK's discussions were over and he was busy, he would definitely come back during lunch.
But today, it took a long time after lunch before I saw the shadow of his carriage.
Nangong Yue first checked Zhao Chengji quietly and found no trace of other women. She was relieved for the first time.
She and Zhao Chengji are now inseparable, and she doesn't want other women to get involved.
Although she knew that when Zhao Chengji's position became more and more stable in the future, there would be no shortage of women around him, she still hoped that such a time would come as late as possible.
Zhao Chengji's eyes flashed, but he put his head on her shoulder.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Nangong Yue's heart felt incredibly soft when Zhao Chengji suddenly relied on him like this.
"Yue'er, you know, I almost couldn't see you!"
Zhao Chengji said painfully, "I wholeheartedly serve my father and the Dongling Kingdom, but I can never escape those intentional words..."
"Prince, what's wrong with you? Did something happen in the court?"
However, this shouldn't be the case. If there are any remarks or things in the court that are not conducive to the prince, her father will tell her immediately!
Moreover, his father is the Minister of War. When he went to war as the eighteenth prince, his father was able to help. Now that he is being criticized in the court as the prince, his father can also help.
Zhao Chengji shook his head, "Not in the court, but in the imperial study room..."
"Royal study room?" Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment.
"Yue'er, I may not be able to admit you into the East Palace for the time being!"
"Why?" Nangong Yue was shocked, "What happened in the imperial study room? Why can't you, Your Highness, accept me into the East Palace?"
It was obvious that the prince and his father had decided on this matter early in the morning, and as soon as the prince's position was secured, he proposed to the emperor that she should be his concubine.
Nangong Yue realized that she had been a former crown concubine. Although the title of the former crown concubine was quickly taken away, she had married someone after all, so she only asked to be a concubine.
"I wonder if it was that treacherous villain who was gossiping in front of the Emperor," Zhao Chengji said painfully, "They slandered the Emperor that I wanted to marry Princess Nianyun..."
"What?" Nangong Yue immediately remembered the person who came to the East Palace to see her with Chuxue.
For some reason, she thought for a moment that if it was that woman, she could...
But soon, she got rid of this idea.
"Your Highness, how is this possible?" Nangong Yue said, "Didn't I hear that the Queen Mother always wanted to marry Su Nianyun to Xiao Changfeng?"
This kind of thing is no secret both inside and outside the palace.
Women in the capital, in particular, like to inquire about these entangled love stories more than men.
Therefore, she also knew that Su Nianyun had been taken care of by Xiao Changfeng on the way to Mobei.
Those women in the capital were envious of such feelings and jealous, and gradually the words they spoke changed beyond recognition.
In short, everyone thinks that a queen mother who is raising a child with Li, and a marquis who is so ugly that he needs to cover his face with a silver mask, will be fine in the end.
"Yes, the Queen Mother intended to make the two of them happy, and the two had gone through many hardships and fell in love with each other, but..."
Zhao Chengji's eyes turned cold, "I don't know who told the emperor that I wanted Nasu Nianyun to enter the harem... so the emperor became furious at me!"
"How could the emperor be angry at the prince?" Nangong Yue said with some distress, "Su Nianyun is your aunt in name. How could the emperor misunderstand you so much?"
Zhao Chengji sighed heavily, "In short, if you want to impose a crime, there is no need to hesitate!"
Sooner or later, everyone outside will know that the Emperor and the Queen Mother granted marriage to Su Nianyun at the same time. Instead of letting Nangong Yue know passively at that time, it would be better for him to take a preemptive strike now.
