Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you need me to do?"
Mu Yun'an leaned into his ear and whispered a few times. Xiao Chengyi smiled slightly, reached out and touched her head and said, "Okay, that's it."
Mu Yun'an received his approval, turned around and asked Xiao Chongjun: "Your Majesty, can I go see the fifth princess?"
Xiao Chongjun nodded and said, "Let Chu Chu take you there."
Mu Yun'an thanked her and left with Chu Chu.
Walking on the road, Xiao Yunchu asked worriedly: "Why do you want to take this job?"
Mu Yun'an shrugged and said, "Can't I be bored if I have nothing to do? Besides, this Concubine Ming wants to marry her daughter to Wen Qiyu, and she has a pretty good idea.
If the fifth princess falling into the lake was an accident, that would be fine. If there was some conspiracy, I can't spare her."
When Wen Qiyu was mentioned, Xiao Yunchu sighed and said, "But then again, Mr. Wen really has a good appearance.
And what he just said, he actually wants to establish a law for the women in the world. Men like him are really rare."
As she said that, she sighed: "It's no wonder that such an outstanding man is targeted by others."
Mu Yun'an turned to look at her and asked, "What, are you regretting it?"
Xiao Yunchu said: "What do you regret?"
Mu Yun'an joked: "Of course I regret meeting Yan Jingxuan and marrying him. If you hadn't discussed the marriage, you might have been able to recruit Wen Qiyu as your consort.
Zuoyan Jingxuan doesn’t know you are still alive, why don’t you find a new consort for you?”
Xiao Yunchu was anxious: "What are you talking about? The prince-in-law I like is naturally the best in the world, and I don't want to change him."
She snorted and turned her head away.
Mu Yun'an burst out laughing: "Okay, I'm just teasing you. I grew up with Yan Jingxuan's childhood sweetheart, so you can rest assured about his character.
Moreover, I heard Jiahe say that he misses you very much, and there is still a portrait of you hanging beside his bed. If it weren't for the responsibility he carries, I'm afraid he would have killed you long ago.
After he ascended the throne, some ministers forced him to establish a concubine, what do you think he said?"
Xiao Yunchu was very curious and asked: "How did you say that?"
Mu Yun'an coughed lightly and told what he knew: "He said he has a hidden disease and is inhumane."
Xiao Yunchu's eyes widened: "He...he really said that? Then the officials will believe it?"
Mu Yun'an said: "Yan Jingxuan is very smart. He asked Feng Changling for medicine and poisoned himself to become an eunuch. Can all the officials not believe it if there is an imperial doctor's testimony?
The imperial doctor has assured the officials that His Majesty's hidden illness can be cured, but it will take time, so the officials can't say anything and can only wait for him to recover before discussing the selection of a concubine."
Xiao Yunchu felt a little sad when she heard this. There was a slight mist in her eyes, and she said distressedly: "He is so stupid."
In order to dispel the temptation of hundreds of officials to force women into the palace, he even ruined his own reputation without fear of being criticized.
Mu Yun'an sighed and said: "He wants to protect himself like a jade for you and doesn't want to let you down.
Now that he has become the king of a country, he will inevitably be remembered by others, and by doing so, he will avoid those conspiracies, so when you marry him, you must compensate him well."
