Chapter 224: Sadness and Glory
"Liu Fanchen..." Wan Xin shouted weakly on the bed. Liu Fanchen heard Wan Xin's voice and immediately came to the bedside.
He asked with concern, "What's going on in Wanxin? Tell me what happened?"
"I'm fine..." Wan Xin didn't expect that the relapse of the wound would hurt so much. She had known that she would have changed places, but when she thought of the effect that could be achieved in this way, if she could really do what she wanted, then all the pain she suffered today would be worth it. But she didn't know when she had become a person who used tricks. Wan Xin's emotions were very complicated. She didn't know whether it was good or bad for her to become like this. But no matter what, she planned to tell Liu Fanchen what she did. However, Liu Fanchen thought she was too despicable and shameless, and she knew that this person was different from her.
"You said it's okay? Look at you've shed so much blood. It's not good for me. I didn't expect you to be injured in the palace. What's your name?" Liu Fanchen looked at the guard who was just talking. The man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this man for a moment.
"When I go back to the fifth prince, my nickname is Duan Yuanjie, who was once the subordinate of General Dingyuan." Duan Yuanjie has always heard of Liu Fanchen, but this is the first time I have seen him. The aura emitted by Liu Fanchen made him feel very familiar.
"It turned out to be General Shen's old subordinate. Since this is the case, you are not an outsider. From today on, you will protect the safety of the county lord in the palace. Can you do it?" Liu Fanchen could not send the stone to the palace, and there was no one to believe at the moment. Since Duan Yuanjie saved Wan Xin once and was once Shen Qiang's subordinate, choosing him to protect Wan Xin can be said to be the best at present.
"Subordinate to obey the order." Duan Yuanjie did not expect that he would give him such an important task for the first time he met Liu Fanchen. No one in the palace knew the relationship between Shen Wanxin and Liu Fanchen. Moreover, he was determined to guard the Beiliang in the frontier, and now he was trapped in the harem and patrolled all day. It was not his ambition at all. Now that he had such an opportunity in front of him, he would definitely cherish it.
Liu Fanchen nodded with satisfaction, looked at Wan Xin with concern, and asked, "Doctor Qin, how is Wan Xin's injury? Is it dangerous?"
Qin Shudan looked at Wan Xin on the bed with concern, "This time the injury is not serious, but it touches the old wound, so he shed so much blood, but he has no worries about life. As long as he is well recuperated, he will definitely heal, but the wound on his shoulder may leave scars."
Girls' skin has always been the most important thing. If there is a scar on the skin, it is like the sky falling down. Qin Shudan paid attention to Wanxin's expression when he said this. Who knew that Wanxin had no expression of horror at all, as if it was not important to leave scars at all.
"I said goodbye, and there is another point. I want to remind the prince not to let Wanxin's wound be injured for the third time, as this will definitely cause infection and ulceration, and in severe cases it will endanger your life." After saying that, Qin Shudan left the room. Mingyue and Jinli also tactfully retreated. At this time, only Wanxin and Liu Fanchen were left in the room.
"Liu Fanchen." Wan Xin lay on the pillow, looking directly at the curtain above, and not looking at the man beside him.
"If you are tired, don't talk... I know the grievances you have suffered. Don't worry, I will seek justice for you exponentially!" Liu Fanchen covered the back of Wan Xin's hand and said softly. No one would have thought that Liu Fanchen, who was as cold as frost, would have such a tender side. And he only revealed such tenderness to Wan Xin.
"Listen to me, no matter how you feel after listening, or even feel uncomfortable, or if you think I am too scary, I can understand, but I want to tell you what happened." Wan Xin turned his head slowly, and looked at Liu Fanchen firmly with his cold eyes as cold as the moon.
"Okay, you say it." Liu Fanchen saw Wan Xin's expression and knew that even if she didn't let Wan Xin speak, she would speak it out.
Wan Xin told Liu Fanchen all the situation today. After saying that, he felt a little tired, took a light breath, and smiled bitterly, "Do you think I'm particularly scary? Why do you think I'm that way?"
Liu Fanchen looked at Wan Xin with his eyes fixed on his eyes, "No, no, I know you did this for me. But I didn't expect that you would make such a great sacrifice for me. But I am so useless that I can't even protect my own woman. If you hadn't hurt yourself today, Rong Le would have the upper hand. But you are too ruthless to act on yourself, and I don't allow you to do this in the future."
"How can we convince others if we are not cruel, and how can we achieve the effect we want if we are not cruel?" Wan Xin smiled slightly and pulled her wound. "I believe that Rong Le has gone to find Concubine Cao, and will say that I am self-harm and have nothing to do with her, so we must take the lead..."
Wan Xin really didn't want Liu Fanchen to get involved in the disputes in the harem. He should do big things instead of running for her here. But now she has no other way. Apart from Liu Fanchen, there is no one else with enough status.
How could Liu Fanchen not understand what he should do now? "Concubine Cao, I still have old accounts that have not settled with her, and she dared to do anything wrong. Since you have made such a big sacrifice, I will give Rong Le a good ending."
Wanxin did not ask Liu Fanchen what the ending of Rongle was. She knew that what Liu Fanchen said would definitely do. If Rongle could be allowed to disappear from now on, it was the best result. Without Rongle, the next step would be to deal with Concubine Cao. She still felt a little guilty about Rongle, but Concubine Cao! She, Shen Wanxin, has always been vindictive. Concubine Cao wants her life, and she must also let Concubine Cao lose her fragrance.
After Liu Fanchen left, Wan Xin felt deeply tired, especially a stone in his heart could finally clear away. Wan Xin, who was slightly relaxed, felt deeply tired, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Liu Fanchen, who had just left the court, did not return to the hall because all the civil and military ministers had already retired from the court. Liu Fanchen went straight to the door of the imperial study room to wait. After each time Emperor Beiliang went to the imperial study room to correct the memorial.
Liu Fanchen lowered his hands and waited quietly. He knew that he had always been the most patient and had never been anxious about something for several years. But somehow he was extremely anxious today. He kept looking up at the sun in the sky, calculating how long it would take for the Beiliang Emperor to arrive.
Finally, the Emperor of Beiliang came slowly. Seeing Liu Fanchen standing outside the door of the imperial study room, he couldn't help but be stunned. His eyes slightly turned and guessed Liu Fanchen's purpose, "It's not that Wan Xin was injured, why don't you go with her and still have time to come here to wait for me?"
As Emperor Beiliang spoke, he walked into the imperial study room. Liu Fanchen walked in with him and closed the door. When Emperor Beiliang saw Liu Fanchen's expression, he immediately stepped back, leaving only Eunuch Lu.
"Your Majesty, Wan Xin was injured this time, which was done by Rong Le, and he would fill in the old wounds with new injuries."
"What? How could such a thing happen? Rongle is becoming more and more arrogant, and there is no rule at all." Emperor Beiliang did not expect that Wan Xin was injured because Rongle was caused.
"Everything is because I arise, so I decided to resign. I hope Your Majesty will be right." Liu Fanchen knelt on the ground seriously.
The Emperor of Beiliang exclaimed, "You and I have just recognized each other, and you are leaving. How can I be worthy of the dead emperor?"
"If I don't leave, Wan Xin may continue to be threatened by Rongle."
"Wanxin is just recuperating in the palace. When the injury is healed, you and her can choose a date to marry. From then on, she will live in your mansion. Stay away from Rongle, why do you still want to resign?" Emperor Beiliang asked in confusion, feeling greedy. Liu Fanchen's temperament is exactly the same as his father, and he can give up everything for the loved ones.
"Wanxin's wound will be healed at least several months. And Wanxin and I will also participate in the banquet in the harem in the future. I don't want Wanxin to be hurt at all, so I hope Your Majesty will fulfill this unforgiving request." Liu Fanchen said with deep affection, and Emperor Beiliang saw it and felt mixed feelings in his heart.
"Is there no other way? You know, with your talent and knowledge, it is the time to serve Beiliang. I don't want you to ruin your future because of a woman." Emperor Beiliang pulled Liu Fanchen up, "You get up first, and I won't listen to anything you say."
Liu Fanchen had to stand up according to the wishes of Emperor Beiliang, "Your Majesty was not doing anything randomly, but Wan Xin was injured before, and he was almost damaged by the fragrance and jade. Now he has been attacked again. I have to guard against it."
Although Liu Fanchen was already the fifth prince, he still called him minister and did not call Emperor Beiliang the father. Emperor Beiliang did not blame him, everything was as he wished.
Emperor Beiliang sighed lightly, "I didn't expect that you really had such deep affection for Shen Wanxin. In fact, you don't have to worry too much. Princess Rongle will be betrothed to someone sooner or later, and there will be no worries at that time."
Liu Fanchen smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty knows more about Rongle's character than me. Where can anyone in the capital be able to subdue Rongle. After she got married, she added a tool that she could use."
Emperor Beiliang was slightly stunned. It was not that he had not thought of this problem. It was because of this that he had never pointed out the marriage for Rongle. When Liu Fanchen saw Emperor Beiliang's doubts, he knew that his words had hit his heart. So he continued, "And who doesn't know Princess Rongle's personality in this capital? Which prince dares to marry her?"
This sentence defeated Emperor Beiliang. Emperor Beiliang did not arrange marriage for Rongle. Any ministers who heard Emperor Beiliang had this intention were so scared that they were trembling and begged the emperor to take back his life. Either they would retire and return home, resign and go home. Later, as soon as Emperor Beiliang mentioned Rongle's marriage, the ministers actually agreed, either, not that their son had been engaged, or they would be sick. Someone even had a daughter to get engaged after her birthday. The purpose of everything was to avoid having any connection with Princess Rongle.
Liu Fanchen looked at the Emperor of Beiliang without saying a moment, and continued, "I have a way to solve this problem, but..."
"You have a way, come on, quickly, you must know that Rong Le has already reached the age of slaughter and is not engaged yet. Concubine Cao has urged me to find a good man for Rong Le more than once. As you said, this matter is not that simple? It's just what?" Emperor Beiliang, who was originally depressed, instantly regained his spirit when he heard Liu Fanchen's words.
"It's just that Your Majesty may not see Princess Rongle in a short time."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know if your Majesty still remembers that the mission of the Southern Wu is about to visit. This will be the best time for our Northern Liang Kingdom and Southern Wu to enhance our relationship. And I heard that there happened to be a prince of the Southern Wu in this visiting team..."
"You mean to let my princess marry to Nanwu?" Emperor Beiliang was hesitant when he heard that he was going to marry Rong Le from afar.
"Your Majesty, Rong Le is my princess of Beiliang. It is her responsibility and obligation to sacrifice for the stability of Beiliang. Moreover, the folk customs of Nanwu are almost the same as those of the princess. I think that when the princess arrives in Nanwu, she is like a fish in water." Liu Fanchen said, looking up at the expression of the Emperor of Beiliang, "Of course, we cannot decide on this matter. Now the war between Nanwu and Beiliang has just stopped. If we propose marriage, then will our relationship with Nanwu be happy?"
"What you said makes sense, but... Nanwu is far away, and I am afraid that Rongle is unwilling..." Emperor Beiliang's favor for Rongle is the deepest among all his children, and he is afraid that Rongle will be wronged at all.
"I understand Your Majesty's worries, so we must let the prince of Nanwu willingly marry the princess and ensure that she loves her." Liu Fanchen had already had a solution. As long as the prince of Nanwu falls in love with Rongle, how difficult is this matter?
"This idea is good. If the Prince of Southern Wu is really interested in Rongle, then I will be happy to make a couple."
"I hope Your Majesty will not tell Concubine Cao and Princess Rongle about this matter. The princess has always been free and easy. If she knew about this matter in advance, she would inevitably feel disgusted and interfere. You must be very clear about the princess' methods, Your Majesty." Liu Fanchen must ensure that this matter goes smoothly. As for the Nanwu side... Emperor Beiliang did not understand Nanwu.
Unlike Beiliang, where men are superior to women are very obvious, especially before and after marriage, so many men can even marry their beloved for the rest of their lives, but instead marry a woman they don’t like so much as their wives. In Nanwu, women have no status at all. For women who are not subject to discipline, beating and scolding is common. As long as Rong Le gets married, don’t think that it is possible to leave the territory of Nanwu again.
"You should think carefully, okay, this matter will be based on your wishes. How long will the mission of the Southern Wu arrive?" Emperor Beiliang lowered his head and thought for a moment, and agreed immediately.
"I will arrive in the capital in three days after returning to Your Majesty."
"Okay, this is the first time the Southern Wu delegation visited during my reign. We will definitely let them see the prosperity of my Beiliang!"
