For a moment, Fang Zilan thought she had heard wrong. She never thought that Li Qiyou would take the initiative to marry Di Rong's princesses, and there were two of them. Did he give up on himself after being rejected?
The whole palace was shocked, but Li Qiyou kept his expression and repeated what he just said, "I have admired the princess for a long time, and I would like to ask your majesty to grant me the two princesses as your royal concubines."
There is no precedent for the left and right concubines in the previous dynasty, but it is the first time in the Dajing Dynasty. It sounds like they are imitating the previous dynasty. For a while, even Di Rong's envoys were shocked from ear to ear.
Li Shengxuan looked at Li Qiyou steadily, his expression was very calm, and there was no hint of anger in his tone, as if he had already made up his mind and was just waiting to put it forward in front of everyone today.
After a moment of silence, several of Di Rong's envoys whispered and muttered for a while before expressing that they had no objection if Li Shengxuan agreed.
Fang Zilan laughed dumbly, thinking that the appearance of Di Rong's delegation looked like they were on an errand. But having said that, Li Qiyou’s identity is unique in the capital. If Li Shengxuan never has an heir, then who will inherit the throne in the future...
She didn't think about it. For some reason, it was obviously a matter of course, but she felt a tightness in her chest. If there was someone else on the throne, she would not be able to stay.
Li Shengxuan was silent for a long time, and finally agreed to Li Qiyou's request. Li Qiyou breathed a long sigh of relief and bowed his head to thank him.
Several Di Rong envoys congratulated each other with their foreheads and hands, and other courtiers present also congratulated one after another. They all said that the happy event was decided and only a good time and auspicious day were left.
Fang Zilan looked at Li Qiyou through the crowd, feeling some indescribable emotions welling up in her heart, which seemed to be aggrieved and more like unwillingness.
Even if it wasn't Li Qiyou, there would always be someone else from the royal family who would come forward and ask to marry Di Rong's two princesses. Thinking about it this way, there is no one in the world who cannot help himself.
As if he felt something in his heart, Li Qiyou looked in the direction of Fang Zilan, curved his lips and smiled at her, as if to comfort her.
Fang Zilan avoided his gaze and pursed her lips tighter. Amidst the joy, several of Di Rong's envoys spoke cautiously, trying to ask General Miagu to return.
Li Shengxuan did not agree directly, but posed the question to Fang Zilan, "Your Majesty Mi'agu injured my Duke of Yue. Although he has apologized, it cannot be decided by me alone whether to pardon Mi'agu. Duke of Yue, what do you think? Woolen cloth?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Zilan. She thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I'm fine. Now that the two parties have a good relationship with Qin and Jin, it's better to let Miago go. It's my best friend." Jing’s sincerity.”
The Di Rong envoy on the side heard this and said hurriedly: "The Duke of Yue has a broad mind, which is admirable. Di Rong is deeply grateful to His Majesty and the Duke of Yue..."
Before Li Shengxuan spoke, Di Rong's envoy was already full of gratitude. He pushed the boat and ordered people to bring Miagu up.
Miago injured an arm and had to have it amputated to save his life. However, Di Rong's new envoys didn't know the reason, and they all looked at each other, "Your Majesty..."
As soon as one of them opened his mouth, he was stopped by Li Shengxuan, "No one has ever been able to stand here well after hurting my Duke of Yue."
The implication of his words was obvious, Miago was extremely grateful to be alive. If Di Rong still had complaints, then he wouldn't mind detaining the entire mission and conducting a thorough investigation.
Di Rong's envoys were as silent as a chill, and hurriedly brought Miagu, whose face was as pale as an eggplant beaten with frost, and bowed to express their gratitude before leaving in a hurry. They only said that they would come back to watch the ceremony on the wedding day of Li Qiyou and the two princesses.
Upon seeing this, Li Shengxuan asked Xia Houzhang to accompany Li Qiyou to report to the Ming Emperor and the Empress Dowager to fix the auspicious date for the wedding, and then dismissed the others, leaving only Wei Subaru and Fang Zilan in the palace.
"Did you really find nothing about the robbery and murder of the two princesses Di Rong in the suburbs of Beijing?" Li Shengxuan looked at Wei Subaru, and he took a step forward and said: "To be honest with you, I did find something, but in Di Rong There are some things that are inconvenient to say in front of the mission.”
Li Shengxuan said quietly: "Let me tell you what I found."
"I found some combustible powder at the site of the incident. After burning, most of the plum branch pattern was revealed." Wei Subaru said, taking out a piece of paper from his sleeve and showing it in front of Li Shengxuan, "This is a copy of the pattern. , please take a look at it, Your Majesty.”
Li Shengxuan glanced at the pattern on the paper and asked, "What pattern is this?"
"As far as I know, this plum branch pattern belongs to the killer Zixiu, and it is her unique logo." As soon as Wei Subaru finished speaking, Li Shengxuan looked at Fang Zilan calmly, "Yue Guogong, do you recognize this plum branch pattern? "
Fang Zilan said calmly: "Report to Your Majesty, I recognize it."
"Then what is your opinion on this matter?" Li Shengxuan asked, and Fang Zilan said slowly: "There is only one killer Zixiu, but the murder of the two princesses Di Rong was obviously not the work of one person. I thought someone deliberately borrowed the killer In the name of Zixiu, I intend to conceal my true purpose."
She paused as she spoke, "If the two princesses Di Rong were killed in the capital, Di Rong would demand an explanation no matter what, and then a dispute between the two parties would break out, which is inevitable."
Wei Subaru glanced at Fang Zilan thoughtfully and said, "Master Fang's words make sense, but I don't understand something. There are so many killers in the world, why do the people behind it have to use Zixiu's name?"
Fang Zilan did not answer, and Li Shengxuan spoke up to help her out: "There are many doubts about this matter. Until it is clarified, no one knows what the people behind it are going to do. Wei Subaru, now that the two princesses Di Rong and King Yucheng have decided to marry, now The matter is closed on the surface, but I want you to continue investigating in secret until the truth is found."
"Yes." Wei Subaru took the order and left. Fang Zilan was about to leave when Li Shengxuan said, "Don't you really know why the person behind the scenes insists on using your name?"
Fang Zilan hesitated for a moment and said quietly: "I have offended others before, so I guess you took the opportunity to take revenge on me."
Li Shengxuan was noncommittal, and Fang Zilan added, "They are all desperadoes. I will go and fight and resolve the matter. Your Majesty, please rest assured."
Li Shengxuan thought to himself, if the person behind this matter really wanted revenge, why didn't he attack the people in her house instead of attacking Princess Di Rong, who had nothing to do with her? She told the obvious lie so smoothly, but he didn't want to expose her.
He would rather believe that this matter has nothing to do with her, and would rather turn a blind eye and let her handle it herself. As long as he doesn't turn on the bright side, he will always have a way to protect her.
Fang Zilan didn't know Li Shengxuan's changing thoughts, but she could clearly feel that Li Shengxuan was much more indulgent to her than before. She couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, but she accepted this indulgence that was almost partiality with peace of mind.
However, she knew very well that the person behind this matter was Ji Ningtian, and I was afraid that he would not be kind.
