The emperor felt relieved. It was true. No matter what, Leng Xiao saved the prince's leg and also saved A Wu's family of three.
The prince made sense. Leng Xiao's background would always lead to speculation, suspicion, and even slander and frame-up. Even after hearing what several people said about Leng Xiao, he still had doubts.
Not to mention everyone else.
It seems that the position must be determined early to save those people from always worrying about the position of the Crown Princess.
However, this incident also gave him a wake-up call. He should no longer listen to rumors about Leng Xiao.
His tone became much gentler and he said to Nangong Yitian: "I will order the Ministry of Etiquette to make preparations as soon as possible. Her dress is also in the process of being made. It will be finalized in the next few days."
Nangong Yitian made a gesture of gratitude, "Thank you very much, Father."
After leaving Fengyun Palace, Nangong Yitian's heart did not relax.
Nangong Qinglan is not a disaster. At most, he only jumps around for a while, and there will be no real harm.
What worried him was his father's suspicion.
His father never really accepted Leng Xiao, just because she killed Leng Zhenhuan to get rid of his big problem.
His attitude towards Leng Xiao is very swinging. From listening to the slander to his clarification today, you can see it from the comparison of his attitude before and after.
In other words, he has never defined Leng Xiao in his heart, so he listens to everyone's words. When he listens, he feels it makes sense, but he always has doubts afterwards.
Even if he believed Leng Xiao now, there was no telling when someone would mention Leng Xiao's identity in his ears again, and he would become suspicious again.
After he left Fengyun Palace, people from his mother's harem came to invite him. It seemed that his mother also knew about his father's arrangements for today.
The queen felt uneasy in the palace today. This uneasiness stemmed from the emperor's suspicion of Leng Xiao and his excessive attachment to Concubine Hui and her daughter. He even arranged for Princess Qing to meet and reconcile with the prince.
Women's intuition is the most sensitive. No matter how innocent Princess Qing said, she didn't believe it. She always thought that she still had the same feelings for Ayi.
They are siblings, and there are taboos in human relations. As the prince, A-yi cannot be affected by these.
Therefore, she sent someone to keep an eye on the prince and bring him over as soon as he left Fengyun Palace.
She wanted to give some advice.
After Nangong Yitian entered the palace, he saw his mother sitting on the phoenix throne with deep thoughts and a haggard look in her eyes. After greeting her, he asked: "Mother, what's wrong? Who made you unhappy?"
The queen stood up, pulled him to sit down, and asked seriously: "Ayi, have you met Nangong Qinglan?"
Nangong Yitian sat down and raised his eyes, "Mother also knows?"
"I know, your father was in my palace last night and told me about this matter. My mother tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen..."
The queen was hesitant to speak, as if she had something to say.
Nangong Yitian said: "He didn't listen and scolded you, right?"
The queen looked at him and said helplessly: "He always thought that I wanted to target Concubine Hui and Nangong Qinglan, but if they stay on their own terms, the queen mother can be tolerant to them."
Nangong Yitian asked: "What is the father's attitude toward Concubine Hui and her daughter? It seems that Concubine Hui has no favor in the past two years, why is she suddenly protecting her again now?"
The queen laughed sarcastically, "Concubine Hui is pregnant."
Nangong Yitian was startled, "She is pregnant? Can she still be pregnant?"
The queen sighed softly, "Yes, a year ago she said that Yue Xin would not come. She went to the imperial doctor for some treatment, and unexpectedly she became pregnant. In fact, she is not too old, she is only forty-five, and she is not pregnant. Strange."
"I see. No wonder my father's attitude suddenly changed." Nangong Yitian said.
