Chapter 116 Requesting an Order to Annul the Engagement
"Third Prince, what are you talking about? I, the princess, don't understand what you are talking about?" Xiao Wenjun then looked at Yu Wenyao squarely.
"What happened to Concubine Guo and Liu Zijie, was it you who did it?"
Xiao Wenjun looked at the man in front of him when he mentioned his biological mother, his face did not change at all, he was really cold-blooded, "I will use the plan to protect myself."
"So today..." Yu Wenyao didn't expect Xiao Wenjun to answer so simply. He was stunned for a moment and continued to ask.
"Is it over yet?" Xiao Wenjun cut off the conversation unceremoniously, "It's okay, my princess is leaving." After that, Xiao Wenjun walked away without waiting for an answer.
Looking at the girl's handsome back, Yu Wenyao didn't know which of his nerves was wrong. He knew that she was definitely fine, but as soon as he heard the news that he had hired an imperial doctor for her, he dropped the important things in his hands and went to the cold wind.
, I waited like a fool for a long time.
I was inexplicably relieved to see that she was fine, but I didn't get any useful news.
He must have disliked or even hated her. At first, he only found her interesting. Later, he felt her targeting and cruelty, which made him feel a sense of crisis. He was determined to break her wings, but in the end, he lost all his people.
Got in.
The situation that he had worked hard for for many years was almost half destroyed because of her variable. He had never experienced such contradictory and complicated feelings.
On the other side, people from the Guards Department shuttled back and forth among the camps, ostensibly just to investigate sudden accidents.
…
On the third day of hunting, the eldest prince did not even leave the camp. The morale of the fifth prince was high, and even the fourth prince, who had always been unknown, also hunted a lot of wild animals.
Once the three-day deadline is up, it’s time to reward based on merit!
The hunting officer reported the final results: the eldest prince shot eleven prey, the third prince did not participate, the fourth prince shot nine, the fifth prince did not kill any, and the number of prey caught was thirty-two.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion around the stands.
"There is no suspense about Qiu Xi this year, and it must be the fifth prince."
"Yes! In previous years, the eldest prince came out on top, and this time it will be the fifth prince's turn."
"Yes, why didn't you see the eldest prince today?"
"The Emperor is here, the Queen is here!" the eunuch sang loudly, interrupting the lively conversation.
Everyone knelt down and worshiped, except the emperor and the queen.
"My lords, the hunting competition is over." The emperor seemed to be in a good mood, as if he had hunted a tiger yesterday and felt in high spirits at a happy event.
"The fifth prince who wins the championship will be rewarded with a sword made by Xuan Tie. The eldest prince and the fourth prince are also good, and will be rewarded with a Xuan Tie dagger." He said concisely and comprehensively.
The emperor pressed his palm, as if he still had something to say, and at the same time motioned to Mr. An behind him to take out the wooden box from that day.
"I also have a special reward. Who do you think is the best in this hunt?"
The box was opened, and as Xiao Wenjun expected, a "death-free gold medal" was quietly placed there.
There were gasps from the audience. They didn't understand what His Majesty meant. If Mr. Wang Ge were here, he would be able to guess eighty-nine percent of the truth. Unfortunately, most of the people who followed this time were military generals, and they didn't have so many twists and turns in their minds.
Wander around.
Yu Wenyao's pupils suddenly shrank. If he could get this death-free gold medal, he could make up for Qiu Ni's losses this time. Overall, it was not a loss.
Xiao Wenjun is determined to win it. No matter what happens later, he must give it a go.
"Wei Chen believes that the reward should be given to the fifth prince. Not only is the fifth prince kind and merciful, but he also has the largest number of hunts."
"I second the proposal."
"I also second the proposal..."
The emperor looked around and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?"
"My daughter has an opinion!" A cold female voice sounded from the crowd. Everyone followed the voice and looked to see why it was her again, Xiao Wenjun, the princess of Lanling County.
"Tell me about it." The emperor's expression did not change at all.
"The ministers said that not being able to bear to kill is a sign of compassion. So, Your Majesty, you have shot so many wild animals in your life, don't you have compassion?"
This sentence was so loud that everyone was stunned on the spot and speechless.
"Then I shot so many wild beasts, was it right or wrong?" The emperor's expression became slightly relaxed, but he still showed no emotion or anger.
"Yes! Because everything in nature is meant for people to use, and it is also the way God taught us to make a living." Xiao Wenjun answered simply, without any panic look on his face.
"But I have become the emperor and am rich all over the world, so I don't need to hunt to make a living?" There was a faint smile on the emperor's face.
"This is because Your Majesty has not forgotten his roots! If Your Majesty did not have the ability to kill so many ferocious beasts, he would not have been able to regain the lost territory, and would have pushed back more than 300 miles of Xiliang."
"Well said, you really surprise me!" Emperor Longyan was delighted, stroking his hands and smiling: "I will give you this gold medal for immunity from death."
The emperor, who was very aware of everything, deliberately muddied the waters in Kyoto after the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet, and even exposed himself to danger during the Autumn Festival, just to see clearly which of these sons was worthy of entrusting the country.
After several trials, the eldest prince was too ambitious, the third prince was not as simple as he appeared, the fourth prince had no ambition, and the fifth prince was short-sighted and arrogant.
Regardless of whether a reward is given to any one of them, it will cause turmoil in the government and the public, and will inevitably breed chaos.
It is better to give it to Xiao Wenjun, which can not only ease the increasingly fierce party struggle, but also give them a blow; and can also silence everyone. After all, Xiao Wenjun has saved himself time and time again, and the emperor will not allow debts to be owed to others!
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and no one expected that the person who finally got the death-free gold medal was actually a woman, Princess Lanling, who had been stirring up troubles ever since she came to Kyoto.
From the emperors, princes and nobles to the common people, traffickers and pawns, everyone knows about her "great achievements"!
From this moment on, Xiao Wenjun's name also had a place in the former harem. People who had ignored her and looked down on her gradually began to value her.
"Thank you, my dear!" Xiao Wenjun replied sonorously and forcefully, with a calm expression on his face.
The violent beating of her heart in her chest revealed her mood at this moment. She had been waiting for so long and finally got this death-free gold medal. The hand holding it was trembling slightly.
The emperor was very satisfied with Xiao Wenjun's reaction. In order to show the emperor's great kindness, he asked again, "What else do you wish for?"
"I do have something, please do it for your majesty!" After saying that, Xiao Wenjun gritted his silver teeth, bowed and raised the gold medal for immunity from death in his hand, and presented it to the emperor.
"What's the matter?" The emperor was a little confused by her behavior. What kind of wish requires the use of a gold medal to avoid death? It was so interesting that he gave it out again before it was warmed in his hands. It was really interesting.
"I request your Majesty to cancel the engagement between my daughter and the third prince Yu Wenyao!"
