Chapter 9: The Lady of the Imperial Court 4
The emperor and the empress were both surprised that their son did not refuse this time!

"Are you serious?"

Pei Che felt a little uncomfortable.

Due to physical reasons, he has been served by men since he was seven years old. If a woman gets within three feet of him, he will feel nauseous, vomit and fall into a coma, let alone have sex with others.

Today, he became ill because a woman accidentally approached him.

But today, he and the young lady were riding in the same car and the distance between them was less than two feet, but he did not feel unwell at all. He felt that the young lady might be an exception.

He suddenly felt fortunate that the secret guards and eunuchs he brought with him this time had split up into two groups in order to lure away the pursuers. The only one left was Liu Huai, a man he was not very familiar with but who was highly skilled in martial arts. The other party didn't know that he had any health problems and put him in the carriage without worry.

Pei Che hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Which family are you from? How old are you? Do you want your father to issue an imperial decree for you?"

Pei Che thought for a moment and shook his head in embarrassment: "I have only met that woman once, and I don't even know her name. However, I think her family background is not good..."

"Who cares about her family background? Send someone to find her right away!
The Queen Mother doesn't expect anything else, as long as you can touch her, even if she is just a woman, she will help you get her back!"

The Queen’s words really touched the Emperor’s heart. It’s enough if she’s a mother!

No matter how difficult it is, we must help the prince get the person!
Pei Che was relieved. His words were just a test. Fortunately, the result was good.

"Then I will take my leave now. I will send someone to look for him immediately when I get back."

The emperor waved his hand to let him go and told him to go quickly.

Over the next two days, Princess Changning had not been found, but the city could not be sealed forever. Three days was the limit for Prince Jin, so the guards at the city gates were all withdrawn and the curfew in the city was lifted.

But Song Rui never came to Ning Yan's yard again.

That day, someone came to the front yard.

Duke Dingguo and his wife went to meet the guest, but after seeing the visitor, he was a little dumbfounded.

"Butler Su? What does His Majesty want?"

Su Fu is now the first person around the emperor and the chief eunuch. He is here to represent the emperor.

“It’s true, and it’s a happy event!
Congratulations, Duke, you have given birth to a good son. The prince is a leader among the young people of this generation in both literary and military skills. The emperor admires him very much and thinks that he and the eldest princess are a perfect match. He wants to grant them a marriage. I wonder what you think, Duke."

Lady Dingguo's face turned unhappy when she heard this. She didn't like Ning Yan, but she didn't want her son to be Princess Shang even more!

With the family background of the Song family, they would be worthy of marrying any noble lady. However, if he marries a princess, not only will her son no longer be able to have any career development in the court, but she would also ask herself, can she act like a mother-in-law?
"Butler Su, my Rui'er already has..."

Duke Dingguo knew what his wife was going to say, and he glared at her coldly, stopping her from making any stupid remarks. "It is a blessing for my Rui'er to marry a princess of the royal family. We are very happy about it. Thank you, General Manager Su, for making this trip."

Su Fu was happy. It was enough for Duke Dingguo to understand his meaning. Under the imperial power, what was needed was such sensible people.

The emperor sent him here, how could he not know that the prince of Duke Dingguo was already married?
If there was no marriage arrangement, an imperial decree would have granted the marriage long ago!

"Well, we will report to the emperor right away. The imperial decree granting the marriage will be delivered within three days. Duke Dingguo must hurry up."

Duke Dingguo frowned. He was asked to settle Rui'er's engagement within three days. Was it so urgent?
But he nodded in agreement.

Su Fu left quickly after conveying the emperor's oral instructions.

After he left, the wife of Duke Dingguo started arguing with Duke Dingguo. "How come the eldest princess suddenly fell in love with Rui'er? And Rui'er already had an engagement, and you didn't even mention it..." This wasn't the guy she fell in love with!

Duke Dingguo: "Ignorant and stupid woman!"

"I am ignorant? How am I ignorant?"

"Isn't this exactly what you want? You think Yan'er is just an orphan girl and is not worthy of your eldest son. Isn't this person of noble status enough?"

"It's all your fault! When that girl first came, you arranged marriages for the two children.

I don't agree. Neither you nor mother listen to me. Otherwise, my son would have married the daughter of the prime minister long ago, and there wouldn't be this incident today."

Duke Dingguo shouted, "Shut up! Do you want to disobey my order? If you dare to say anything nonsense again, I will give you a divorce letter and prevent you from bringing trouble to the entire Song family!"

Lady Dingguo did not expect her husband to even talk about divorce, and she ran away in anger.

Duke Dingguo was too lazy to try to coax her, so he simply went to the backyard to report the matter to the old lady.

"Why would the emperor suddenly issue such an imperial decree?"

Duke Dingguo: "The emperor said that the eldest princess fell in love with Rui'er, but my son doesn't look like her."

The Grand Duke had met Rui'er before, but he never saw her show any affection towards Song Rui.

"If it's not Rui'er, then there must be something wrong with Yanyan."

After the old lady finished speaking, she thought of something. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet married, and the one who has caused the Emperor to make such a fuss must only have one Crown Prince. It can't be that the Emperor has fallen in love with Yan'er, right?

The mother and son looked at each other and thought of the same thing.

Then don't waste time, otherwise a good thing will turn into a bad thing.

"Go, get the engagement token back for Rui'er. Qiu'er, go and invite Yanyan."

The two did not hold an engagement ceremony, they just exchanged tokens and engagement letters and returned them.

But I have to comfort my granddaughter.

For Ning Yan, nothing could make her happier than this. After getting the engagement letter, she returned to her own courtyard without even asking the reason.

She just mentioned to her grandmother that she wanted to move out, but the old lady didn't agree. It would be strange if she agreed!
She truly loved her granddaughter. Even if she was wrong, she would still find a suitable family to marry her granddaughter off to feel at ease. How could she let an orphan like her live outside?
If something goes wrong, where can she find regret medicine?
The marriage here was called off, and the imperial decree granting the marriage was issued the next day.

Song Rui received the imperial edict with a dull face and felt sad in his heart, but he pretended to be happy and stuffed a red envelope into the eunuch who delivered the edict. He wanted to resist, but he could not bear the lives of more than 300 people in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion!

……

Through the unremitting efforts of Prince Jin's Mansion over the past few days, the body of Princess Changning was finally found in that abandoned house!
Even though the temperature is not too high now, Princess Changning's body has already become smelly because she has been dead for too long.

The coroner performed an autopsy and came to the conclusion that the princess was raped and then stabbed in the throat.

The wife of Prince Jin fainted on the spot. Prince Jin ordered that the killer must be caught and torn into pieces.

Prince Jin set a trap for Su Qi, offering 10,000 taels of gold to kill him. When Su Qi arrived, what was waiting for him was a huge net falling from the sky and a large bag of sleeping pills. No matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife. Su Qi was hacked to death by the guards one by one.
