Chapter 165 A match made in heaven, the emperor is angry and sick
Leng Xiaoran said with joy: "The Tubo King and Princess Dunzhu have come from afar, today, I will welcome them.
In order to maintain diplomatic relations between the two countries and maintain border stability, Princess Donzhu came to marry.
I see that each of you has many wives and concubines, but the Regent has only one princess, who is pregnant and cannot serve my ninth brother.
Today, I will marry Princess Dunzhu to the Prince Regent as his concubine."
Leng Xiaoran concluded that Princess Dunzhu would not have any objection and she would choose the regent, which was also arranged in advance.
The emperor was very proud of himself. He regarded Leng Jiuyuan as a thorn in his side and wished he would disappear immediately.
Leng Jiuyuan's expression immediately darkened, and he said sternly, "Your Majesty, I have already sworn that the princess and I will be together forever, living a carefree life.
The Regent's Palace will not accommodate another woman. If the princess forces her way into the palace, I will prepare her coffin first. She will definitely not survive the next day."
His eyes were deep, his words were murderous, and he looked as if he was facing a great enemy.
The Prime Minister was adept at guessing the emperor's intentions. He said, "Prince Regent, the emperor's grace is immense. In the court, the emperor and his subjects come first, and brothers come second.
The Emperor sees that you have no women to serve you and is concerned about you. Do you think you can disobey his order? "
Leng Xingbei retorted: "Prime Minister, you should know that a forced melon is not sweet.
The ninth brother only has the princess in his heart. Princess Dunzhu is in her prime, and even if she marries into the palace, she will have to live alone in an empty room.
He was neglected and had no children in his life. In the end, he was alone and old, as if he was locked up in a cold palace.
The Tubo king probably didn't want his daughter to end up in such a situation.
In this hall, there are so many sons of princes and important officials. It is worthwhile for Princess Dunzhu to choose the one she likes by sending her daughter thousands of miles away.
She would marry the princess to whomever she chose, and this would also be a marriage between Dong Qin and Tubo."
The fifth prince is now the fifth prince, but he is still lustful.
After Ximen Caidie died, the housekeeper selected several more women to live in the mansion, but none of them caught his eye.
Princess Dunzhu was more beautiful than any other woman in the mansion, and he began to have evil thoughts about her.
"Your Majesty, I support the Tubo princess in choosing her own husband. A princess must marry a man of her dreams."
Princess Dunzhu looked at the Fifth Prince and smiled at him.
The Fifth Prince was immediately overjoyed. He had done his best to make the beauty smile.
The emperor never expected his fifth and seventh brothers to disrupt the situation. He was furious: "Prince Regent, I am sincere and kind. This is an imperial decree. If you dare to disobey it, your entire family will be executed.
Do you want to marry a concubine into the mansion, or do you want to execute the whole family? "
The air in the hall instantly froze. Some ministers dared not speak. They also saw the emperor's intention to get rid of the regent.
Leng Jiuyuan was not afraid at all: "Your Majesty, if I marry the princess, I can live, but if I don't, the whole family will be buried with me, right? Let me ask you, which dynasty established this rule?
Even when my father was on the throne, this was never the case. Is this all just an excuse for the Emperor to get rid of me?"
The emperor's face was in turmoil, but now was not the right time to turn against the regent.
He was about to retort when Princess Dunzhu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if we suppress the imperial decree, it will inevitably damage the relationship. Since it is Dunzhu who is coming to marry, let me choose."
The emperor knew that it was far-fetched to force Leng Jiuyuan with an imperial edict, and he was sure that Dunzhu would also choose the regent, so he readily agreed.
"Okay, since Princess Dunzhu wants to choose, I will let you do it. You must think carefully."
Princess Donzhu walked out, stood in front of each seat, and finally returned to her seat.
The emperor was a little nervous.
Princess Dunzhu pointed at Leng Jiuyuan. Thousands of steel knives could shoot out from Leng Jiuyuan's eyes, and Dunzhu shuddered suddenly.
She then pointed her finger at the Seventh Prince Leng Xingbei, "Your Majesty, I choose the man in white."
The emperor was so angry that he almost fainted, his face immediately darkened, and he threatened: "Princess Dunzhu, you have to think it over carefully.
He is my seventh brother, Leng Xingbei. He already has two concubines and some women in the backyard. You know what you will face if you marry into the palace!"
Dunzhu pretended not to know: "Your Majesty, does he have a wife?"
Leng Xiaoran wanted to strangle her to death. Who was she on? She wouldn't surrender to someone else just one day.
"His wife passed away a few years ago." The emperor had to answer.
Princess Dunzhu was filled with joy: "Then I will marry the Seventh Prince as his principal wife. With the opportunity to become the mistress of the house, who would want to be a concubine? A concubine is also a concubine."
Princess Dunzhu has always been outspoken and straightforward. She says whatever she thinks and is not afraid of offending others.
The other concubines' faces changed color, but the main wife supported her words.
The Fifth Prince's wife said straightforwardly: "Princess Dunzhu is right. She can be a wife, not a concubine."
She offended some people again.
The Fifth Prince really regretted bringing the princess with him.
Seeing that she had supporters, Dunzhu was very determined and said, "Your Majesty, whether the Seventh Prince is willing or not, this princess will marry him as her principal wife."
The emperor was in a difficult situation. He had promised Princess Dunzhu to make her own choice, and his word must be final.
His face was dark, and his voice was filled with anger: "Since Princess Dunzhu has chosen the Seventh Prince, then choose a date for the wedding. You will marry into the Seventh Prince's Mansion and become the Seventh Brother's principal wife."
The emperor was furious, his chest feeling suffocated. He was afraid of spitting out blood, so he said, "I'm a little tired. Noble Concubine Ning, please entertain the ministers for me."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Leng Xiaoran walked towards the small door next to him.
Everyone present understood that the emperor was angry. A good game of chess was ruined by a few chess pieces, and he failed to kill the regent.
The Tubo King also noticed the situation and said, "Donzhu, the Emperor has left, and we Tubo people will not stay here. Let's go. Seventh Prince, come to the post station tomorrow to discuss the marriage."
Ye Qingyan said to Concubine Ning, "Your Majesty, I am feeling unwell and will be leaving with the prince."
Concubine Ning was magnanimous and said, "Since the Regent Princess is pregnant, please return home and rest."
Ye Qingyan thanked him and returned to the palace with Leng Jiuyuan.
She smiled and said, "Jiuyuan, the emperor is almost mad. He never thought that Dunzhu would marry Seventh Brother."
Leng Jiuyuan curled his lips, "We have to find him something to do, so that he won't be thinking about me all the time."
"What's the matter?" Leng Jiuyuan whispered a few words in her ear.
The emperor returned to his bedroom and immediately vomited a few mouthfuls of blood. The eunuch helped him to the bed and hurried to find the imperial physician...
…………
The Empress Dowager was furious when she heard what happened in Huayang Palace in Cining Palace.
"Old Nine is the same. Xiaoran is the emperor, so what if he accepted the Dunzhu? If he doesn't like it, he can just put it in the backyard.
The emperor too, why must he get rid of the ninth one!
Does a person really become cold-blooded and heartless when he reaches a high position?
They were very good brothers before, and I was happy to see them.
But now my brothers are turning against each other and want to overthrow the country. I feel heartbroken seeing this.
It cannot be said to the retired emperor that he supports the emperor.
Poor Jiuyuan, I'm stuck between these two brothers and I really have no idea what to do..."
Outside the city, a group of people dressed in strange clothes were rushing towards the imperial city. The purpose of their trip was to kill Ye Qingyan and Leng Jiuyuan on the order of the emperor.
