Chapter 1301
The news that King Yi wanted to marry Qin Ruosi as his concubine once again spread throughout the elite circles of the imperial capital.
This time even Pei Yu and An Zhe got the news, and both of them couldn't believe it.
Pei Yu had contact with Qin Ruosi when he went to Weizhou last time. He disliked this snobbish woman very much.
He couldn't believe that Xiao Lintian would like Qin Ruosi.
An Zhe didn't believe it either, so the two made an appointment to go to Prince Yi's Mansion to find out.
But when they arrived at Prince Yi's Mansion, they didn't see Xiao Lintian. The concierge said that Xiao Lintian had gone with Qin Ruosi to buy a dowry.
The concierge was also on Ling Yu's side. He said in a low voice: "General Pei, Prince An, don't go to the prince. This matter is a foregone conclusion!"
"Princess Yi was so angry that she went to the palace to complain to the Queen Mother, but she couldn't make King Yi change her mind!"
"Princess Yi didn't go home last night. She is probably determined to make peace with King Yi this time!"
An Zhe and Pei Yu looked at each other. Neither of them could figure out how Xiao Lintian and Ling Yu could get into such trouble after not seeing each other for a few days.
Just as he was talking, Zhao Xuan came back with the carriage loaded with dowry.
Zhao Xuan didn't look very good. When he saw An Zhe and Pei Yu, he knew why they were here.
He winked at An Zhe and said, "Would you like to drink with me? I'll pay you as soon as I bring the things in. You guys go to the restaurant and wait for me!"
Anzhe understood and took Pei Yu away.
The two went to Jixiang Restaurant to wait for Zhao Xuan. When Biaozi saw An Zhe, he pulled him aside and asked eagerly: "Prince An, is King Yi really going to marry that Qin Ruosi as his concubine?"
"The news has spread all over the restaurant today! Everyone is waiting to see the show! They even made a bet on whether the position of Princess Yi will be given to Qin Ruosi!"
"My young master has gone out to purchase medicinal materials, and he doesn't know the news yet! If he knew, he would definitely not let King Yi bully Princess Yi like this!"
An Zhe said helplessly: "Even if Geng Xiaohao is here, what can he do? This is the marriage decree that King Yi asked the emperor for. Unless King Yi says not to marry, I'm afraid that's it!"
Biaozi looked at Pei Yu blankly, and sighed helplessly. He shook his head and said, "King Yi must be possessed by a demon! It would hurt her to not cherish such a good person like Princess Yi!"
"Don't just think about it. This marriage can only be finalized after the wedding ceremony!"
Pei Yu said coldly: "I never believe that Xiao Lintian can be so confused! You go and greet the guests, we are going up!"
Pei Yu pulled An Zhe upstairs. As soon as Biaozi served food and wine, Zhao Xuan arrived.
"What is your prince thinking? Is this some kind of plan?"
Anzhe asked bluntly.
Zhao Xuan wiped his sweat and shook his head: "If you ask me, I don't know what's going on. Everything the prince has done in the past two days has made me confused and I can't understand it!"
"What's going on?" Pei Yu asked doubtfully.
Zhao Xuan told what happened in the past two days, and finally said: "There is something wrong with the prince. I also suspected that the prince was impersonated by others before!"
"But I have observed him carefully, and apart from what he did being abnormal, he is still the same person! The injuries on his body can also prove that he is not faked by others!"
Pei Yu and An Zhe both asked their doubts.
"But why did he do these unbelievable things? If he had a quarrel with Ling Yu and married Qin Ruosi because he was angry with Ling Yu, I would still be able to figure it out!"
"But why did you let the killer of Nighthawk Pavilion go?"
Zhao Xuan looked around and said in a low voice: "Before I went out, Princess Yi sent someone to send me a message, saying that she suspected that King Yi was bewitched by Qin Ruosi and controlled his mind!"
"Princess Yi said that she was looking for a way to remove the poison for the prince, and asked me to keep an eye on Qin Ruosi and her maid!"
