Chapter 222 Birthday Banquet, Prince Qin's Mansion is going to have a wedding
Both of them knew that this time the illness was a good thing, but Feng Wuyou still dared not neglect and suppressed Xiao Jinglan to take good care of his illness.
Xiao Jinglan was also happy to be idle. Every day, he held Feng Wuyou in his arms, either reading and writing, playing chess and drawing, or simply holding Feng Wuyou to take advantage.
He was sick here, so naturally he could not see Shangguan Youlan. He also blocked Shangguan Youlan's visit under the pretext of not disturbing her illness.
Shangguan Youlan was so angry that her wounds were cracked, but there was nothing she could do.
Xiao Jinglan seemed leisurely, but in fact, he was not idle at all when he was supposed to do.
Cheng Huang's confession had already been handed over to the emperor's table, and he clearly explained how he bribed the bandits to frame the Xiao family army at the instruction of the prince.
This confession was presented in the morning by officials from the Qin Prince's Mansion and passed on together, as well as small handwritten newspapers in the city of Beijing.
The emperor wanted to hide it, but even though the city was spreading all over the capital, he couldn't hide it.
So Lei Ting was furious and cursed Murong Gan, took his annual salary, and ordered him to face the wall in the East Palace to think about his mistakes.
When Feng Wuyou heard the news, Xiao Jinglan was lying on her lap and eating the frozen pears she fed.
"Why didn't you give up the private army?" Cheng Huang wrote two versions of confessions under Xiao Jinglan's instruction, one version has a private army, and the other version has no private army.
What Xiao Jinglan presented was the one without a private army.
"If the emperor knew that Murong Gan had a private army, wouldn't those private army be useless?"
Feng Wuyou's hand that was feeding him food stopped slightly, looked down at Xiao Jinglan and said, "Do you want Murong Gan to fight with the emperor? It's not that easy, right?"
Xiao Jinglan deliberately hid the news about the 20,000 private troops, clearly trying to catch the emperor off guard.
But Murong Gan is not stupid either. The emperor's punishment for him seemed serious, but in fact it was not hurt at all. To some extent, it was just for Xiao Jinglan to see. I believe he will be released in a few days. By then, he will still be the prince and will have no impact at all.
Under such circumstances, Murong Gan could not have had a breakup with the emperor.
"I'm so anxious that the rabbit will bite people, let alone Murong fucks this skinny dog. No matter how good his combat effectiveness is, I have to leave a few biting teeth for me."
Feng Wuyou obviously resigned Murong Gan's marriage, but Murong Gan still looked at Feng Wuyou with that sticky gaze at him, and Xiao Jinglan was very upset.
The emperor's dissatisfaction with Murong Gan was very clear, and he still had no intention of passing the throne to him. The conflict between his emperors would inevitably erupt, but it was just a matter of time.
The fingertips suddenly became wet, and Feng Wuyou realized that Xiao Jinglan had eaten the fruit she was picking in and simply put her fingertips in as food.
He quickly pulled out his hand, but the warm, wet and soft feeling remained for a long time. Feng Wuyou said angrily: "Xiao Jinglan, please restrain yourself for this princess!"
Feng Wuyou felt that the man's face seemed to be getting thicker and thicker. As long as she was not careful, he would take advantage of her.
"Little Phoenix, you are so fierce." Xiao Jinglan accused, and Feng Wuyou turned red when he heard these three words.
Xiao Jinglan's eyes were filled with a tide, and he raised his body and kissed him. Now, this is the case with a real god.
A few days later, the truth about the battle of the Xiao family army at Sunset Valley fermented with time and reached its most intense time.
Almost everyone in the Western Qin Dynasty scolded Chen Chengda Li Demin, and the calls for the Xiao family army to rectify the name and overturn the verdict are getting higher and higher.
Cheng Huang's confession was like a fuse, leading the people's calls to the court. On the third day after the emperor ordered the punishment of the prince, a minister wrote a petition asking the emperor to correct the name of the martyrs of the Xiao family army.
When the emperor heard this, his face turned blue. He didn't even say he retreated, and just threw his sleeves and left.
Later that day, Yun Wei came to report that the emperor had smashed some things in the palace and scolded Empress Cheng, saying that she and the Cheng family were as stupid as pigs, so they could not do any small things well, and also taught Murong Gan a fool.
When cursing, he did not avoid his servants, so almost everyone in the palace knew about this, and Empress Cheng almost lost all her face.
On the second and third day, more and more ministers wrote letters asking the emperor to re-examine the old case and punish the relevant officials who were favoritism and abused the law in the case.
Finally, the emperor had to order the three judicial departments to come forward together to relieve the Xiao family's vanguard army of rebellion, and to arrest and demote a large number of officials, and almost half of these officials were from the prince.
Feng Wuyou listened to the news and knew that things were indeed developing as Xiao Jinglan planned. Murong Gan's rabbit was forced to become tighter and tighter. As long as there was another last blow, he would jump over the wall as Xiao Jinglan wanted.
But, what will this last blow be?
Finally, on the day the Three Justices finally closed the case, the emperor announced that on the 25th day of the winter moon, the seventh anniversary of the Sunset Valley massacre, he would personally sacrifice to heaven and work hard, and at the same time, completely clear the name of the Xiao family army.
On this day when the emperor issued an order, Xiao Jinglan recovered from his illness and went back to the court and received the emperor's oral order.
After receiving this news, even Mrs. Xiao had a peaceful day.
The winter month, that is, November, today is November 17th. Calculate the day, it only takes seven or eight days.
Feng Wuyou knew that Xiao Jinglan had returned to the capital and was waiting for this day.
He must personally admit that the Xiao family army was not defeated, and there were never any traitors in the Xiao family army.
Because of this matter, Xiao Jinglan became busy and the atmosphere gradually became solemn and tense.
November 20th is the queen's birthday. Because it is not a full birthday, it will not be a grand celebration, but a palace banquet is inevitable.
At the evening, the queen specially sent a post to ask Xiao Laofu and Shangguan Youlan to go together.
Upon hearing the news, Feng Wuyou looked at Xiao Jinglan with some concern: "This post should not be given by the queen."
The queen is too busy to take care of herself now, how could she still have the heart to care about her and Mrs. Xiao? It must be a post by the emperor in the name of the queen.
And the purpose is naturally Mrs. Xiao.
The military service ceremony will be held in another five days. The emperor cannot be careful of Xiao Jinglan. Holding Mrs. Xiao in his palm is the best restraint for Xiao Jinglan.
Xiao Jinglan said indifferently: "Wars come and generals come and cover the soil, I have their own way to deal with it."
Seeing him say this, Feng Wuyou felt relieved and went to pick up Mrs. Xiao Jinglan with Xiao.
Shangguan Youlan is accompanying Mrs. Xiao. Her injuries have been recuperating for so many days. Although she has not recovered yet, she can get up.
As Princess Donglin, it is impossible for her to invite her on such a major birthday.
Seeing Feng Wuyou and Xiao Jinglan coming together, although they did not have much intimate actions, they were indescribable harmony, as if they were born together. Shangguan Youlan held Mrs. Xiao's hand and unconsciously pinched Mrs. Xiao's sleeves.
Mrs. Xiao noticed it and patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, it should be yours, it will naturally be yours."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Youlan forced a smile and said, "I'll listen to the old lady."
Mrs. Xiao is Xiao Jinglan's mother. As long as she coaxes Mrs. Xiao, I believe that marrying Xiao Jinglan will only be a matter of time.
After receiving Mrs. Xiao, the four of them entered the palace together.
Fortunately, Xiao Jinglan was unwilling to sit with Shangguan Youlan, so he prepared two carriages and asked Mrs. Xiao and Shangguan Youlan to sit in one, while he and Feng Wuyou were sitting in one, which made Feng Wuyou feel more comfortable.
The carriage soon arrived in the palace, and in front of the palace gate, the four of them came down.
At this time, many destined wives had arrived. When they saw Shangguan Youlan get off the carriage of the Qin Prince's Mansion, their eyes suddenly became strange.
Although they all heard about Shangguan Youlan recovering from the Qin Palace, they saw her getting off the carriage in the Qin Palace with her own eyes. The visual impact was not comparable to that of her.
"Is this Princess Youlan really going to marry into the Qin Prince's Mansion?"
"I think it's almost like this, no matter how fierce Feng Wuyou is, isn't it the result?"
"That's right, why don't you think about getting into someone as long as she's in the Qin Palace? It's all jokes now."
Every sentence was heard by Feng Wuyou and Xiao Jinglan.
Xiao Jinglan frowned immediately and stopped slightly.
But Feng Wuyou grabbed him in time: "Just let them say it, we just need to know it's not."
No matter how you say it is, it’s better not to be too ostentatious.
Mrs. Xiao is from the Qin Palace or Xiao Jinglan's mother, so Xiao Jinglan naturally wants to go with her.
In theory, Feng Wuyou should have been holding her with Xiao Jinglan, but one of her hands was always held by Shangguan Youlan. If Xiao Jinglan walked beside her, it would look like she was a pair with Shangguan Youlan.
So Xiao Jinglan simply fell behind half a step and walked with Feng Wuyou.
After walking a few steps, the ladies who had met at the palace gate also rushed over.
After saluting Xiao Jinglan and Feng Wuyou, they looked at the posture and immediately said with a smile: "Old Madam, is the Qin Prince's Mansion going to hold another wedding? Congratulations to the old lady first, look how nice Princess Youlan is to you!"
"Yes, yes, don't forget to post us..."
Those wives always felt that Feng Wuyou was not worthy of being the Princess of Qin in terms of identity and talent, especially after seeing Xiao Jinglan recovering, they felt so even more.
When he thought that Feng Wuyou, a woman like that actually occupied the position of Prince Qin, and blocked their daughter's way, he was not angry, so he deliberately made trouble.
As long as they can get a woman into the Qin Palace, no matter who this person is, they will be happy to see it. What's more, Shangguan Youlan is far better than Feng Wuyou in terms of background and talent, so they are even more happy to watch the fun.
Shangguan Youlan likes to hear such words the most, and deliberately does not explain it. She just lowered her head desperately and let them say it, as if they had guessed it right.
But... if she wants to make people misunderstand, it depends on whether Xiao Jinglan is willing or not.
