Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 378 Remedy
Yuanluan Hall, sleeping inside.

After a period of ups and downs, Huan Xi tiredly rolled off Murong Ying's body. He rested his arm on his pillow and let Murong Ying's hands rub his chest.

Murong Ying sighed with satisfaction:

"My daughter's life is really hard. Although the custom of step-marriage is against human ethics, she doesn't have to die alone. It's better now. Liu Xiwuqing wants to send her to Chang'an. How will she survive in the future."

The daughter Murong Ying mentioned was Liu Wuhuan's widow, Princess Zuoxian, Tuoba Yan.

Huan Xi frowned:
"Can't we live without a man?"

Murong Ying was not afraid, she said coquettishly:

"Without Huan Lang, even if I am alive, I will only be a mere skeleton without any vitality."

Huan Xi's expression quickly changed from gloomy to clear. Although Murong Ying's words were meant to please him, he could feel that the other party had some real emotions.

Murong Ying continued:

"So, it is indeed my concubine Meng Lang."

Tomorrow morning, Liu Xiwuqi would set off for the funeral. After saying goodbye to the ministers and guards he knew well, it was already dark when he returned home.

Huan Xi remained silent for a long while before he spoke:

"If Huan Lang takes action, how should we arrange it?"

Murong Ying muttered in her heart, but said curiously:

After saying that, Murong Ying got up, put on her clothes, and went to give instructions to the palace maid in a hurry.

Murong Ying didn't take it seriously and said:
"Liu Wuhuan died of old age and illness, and it was not a loss of life for the king, so why should Huan Lang be worried.

He had dinner outside, and as soon as he entered the door, he went straight to the bedroom.

"Now Yan'er is alone and helpless. If Huan Lang doesn't dislike her, he might as well take her into Weiyang Palace."

I have to rush early tomorrow and must go to bed early tonight.

"Liu Wuhuan's body is still cold, but I am plotting against her widow. I am afraid that I will be looked down upon by the world."

Therefore, if Liu Xiwuqi's wife wants to become Princess Zuoxian, Tuoba Yan will undoubtedly be the biggest obstacle.

In fact, it was not entirely Murong Ying's fault that persuaded Liu Xiwuqi to give up the stepmarriage. Liu Xiwuqi's wife also contributed behind the scenes. After all, this was a matter related to her interests.

Huan Xi then whispered a few words to her. Murong Ying didn't know what she had heard, and her eyes were smiling like crescent moons.

If Liu Xiwuqi follows the custom of stepmarriage and takes in his aunt Tuoba Yan, then Princess Zuoxian can only be Tuoba Yan, and his original wife will also change from the main wife to the side wife.

"Besides, it is common in the grassland for a husband to remarry after his death. If it were not for Huan Lang, Yan'er would also be devoted to his son. Could it be that she can really keep the integrity for her late husband?"

"You didn't handle this matter well. Don't make your own decisions in the future."

Murong Ying took the initiative to expose this layer of window paper. In order to maintain her favor, she had long been determined to drag Tuoba Yan into the water.

After receiving the order, the maid went straight to the Liu brothers' mansion to find Liu Xiwuqi's wife.

Huan Xi refused:

However, before Liu Xiwuqi could lie down, his wife got down to business.

"Mrs. Murong ordered someone to send a message, saying that she still needs her husband to do something."

Liu Xiwuqi couldn't help but feel irritated when his wife mentioned Murong Ying. He has a secret that he has never mentioned to anyone, that is, he has evil thoughts about his aunt Tuoba Yan.

Of course, as long as Liu Xiwuqi can inherit the throne of King Zuoxian, everything owned by his father will be owned by him, including women.

Liu Xi, if you don't pray, you can justifiably bring your stepmother into your room and sleep with her.

However, all this was ruined by Murong Ying.

When the news that Liu Wuhuan was critically ill reached Chang'an, before Liu Xiwuqi could secretly rejoice, Murong Ying had someone send him a message:
I really miss my daughter and hope to bring Tuoba Yan to live in Chang'an a hundred years after Liu Wuhuan's death.

An understatement ended all Liu Xiwuqi's thoughts.

When competing for women, it also depends on who you are competing with.

Liu Xiwuqi would not be so naive as to think that Murong Ying brought Tuoba Yan to Chang'an solely to reunite with her daughter.

If someone else coveted Tuoba Yan, Liu Xiwuqi would certainly not be willing to give her his hands, but Huan Xi was different after all.

The powerful Liang Gong could decide the ownership of King Zuo Xian with just one sentence. Even if Liu Xiwuqing had Liu Wuhuan's dying will and was the eldest son in the family, it would not be easy to do so.

If he rejects Murong Ying's proposal, his second brother Liu Weichen will definitely agree happily in order to become King Zuoxian.

Between the woman and King Zuo Xian, Liu Xiwuqi chose the latter.

Now that Murong Ying was sending messages through his wife, Liu Xiwuqi didn't know what kind of excessive demands the other party would make, so he naturally felt upset.

Fortunately, after his wife narrated the matter, she learned that Murong Ying was still there for Tuoba Yan, and Liu Xiwuqi felt relieved.

After the two brothers Liu Xiwuqi and Liu Weichen left Chang'an, there was a rumor circulating in the streets that Liu Wuhuan left a last word when he was dying, hoping that Huan Xi could take his widow Tuoba Yan as his side wife.

It is said that this was what Liu Xiwuqi said personally when he was bidding farewell to his friend.

Chang'an East Market, inside a wine shop.

Guo Zhenyi's brother and owner of Zhenyu Bookstore, Guo Zhenyu, was talking about this strange incident with his friend Chen Yuanming.

“This rumor sounds bizarre, but if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

"The Huns drank hair and blood and did not know etiquette, so they had the bad habit of step-marriage. Now that Liu Wuhuan has been canonized by the Jin Dynasty and has been treated as a king, he naturally knows shame. How could he be willing to let Liu Xiwuqi take in his wives and concubines?"

Chen Yuanming nodded with deep approval and said:
"Death is like a lamp going out. Even if Liu Wuhuan left a will and abolished the bad custom of step-marriage in the tribe, once something really happened between Tuobayan and Liu Xiwuqi's mother and son, Liu Wuhuan could only stare blankly if he knew about it. .

"Instead of doing this, it is better to entrust Tuoba Yan to Duke Liang. Liu Xiwuqi would not dare to compete with Duke Liang even if he wanted to."

Guo Zhenyu suddenly approached Chen Yuanming and lowered his voice:

"I heard that Mr. Liang was furious when he learned about this. He bluntly said that Liu Wuhuan was joking. However, because this was Liu Wuhuan's last request, he had to agree."

Chen Yuanming said softly:

"Do you believe this? Our Mr. Liang is talking nonsense, but he must have great admiration for Liu Wuhuan in his heart. Look, he can't treat Liu Wuhuan's two sons badly."

Guo Zhenyu laughed and said:

"Brother Yuan Ming knows our Liang Gong well. Earlier today, Liang Gong had already issued an edict, ordering Yinchuan Shan Yutai to organize Liu Wuhuan's funeral in a beautiful way, and even rewarded him with a large amount of gold and silver cloth as a funeral gift. use."

While the people in Chang'an were discussing this matter, a convoy from Xiangyang passed through Lantian County and was heading towards Chang'an.

Among them, sitting on the most luxurious carriage was Huan Xi's mother, Sima Xingnan.
