I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 138
Seeing that the Marquis of Huaiyang was furious, Leng Yuanxun immediately gathered his clothes and knelt down, and said in a shameful voice: "My son is not filial and made my father worry about his illness, but this is a serious matter, and I really dare not hide it, otherwise I will let my second brother make mistakes and make mistakes. At the point of redemption, the son will have to die to redeem his sins."

"Xun'er, what are you doing, get up quickly." Huaiyang Hou personally helped Leng Yuanxun up, and only after he pulled him to sit down beside him, he sighed heavily, "There is a folk saying that 'Three years old see big At the age of seven, Ling'er has high eyesight and low abilities since he was a child, and he has great ambitions but refuses to work hard. This kind of person has been seen a lot for his father, and the more he is given more attention, the more he will be confused. Therefore, he deliberately suppressed and tempered him all these years, but he still..." Huaiyang Hou couldn't speak any more, he just coughed violently.

"It's the fault of the son not teaching the father", Leng Yuanling did such a frenzied thing, it is not because of his dereliction of duty as a father, not to mention, after all, he is his own son, so while he was angry that he could not fight, the Marquis of Huaiyang More heartbroken...

Although Leng Yuanxun didn't have the slightest affection for Leng Yuanling, he couldn't ignore the feelings of the Marquis of Huaiyang, so while helping him comfort his back, he comforted him softly: "My son occupies the position of the Marquis of Huaiyang. He has been valued by his father for many years, and he entrusts him with heavy responsibilities. The second brother does not understand his father's painstaking efforts towards him, and it is inevitable that he will feel resentment in his heart. between……"

"Since ancient times, there has been a distinction between the superiority and inferiority of a concubine and a concubine. It is already considered treasonous for a concubine to covet the position of the son of the eldest son. What's more, even without you, as a father, it is impossible to hand over the family business to him, ruining the century-old reputation of my Huaiyang Marquis Mansion." !" Maybe because he was in a hurry, Huaiyang Hou's resolute eyes were full of scarlet, and he took a while to catch his breath, and said firmly: "This matter will be handled by the father himself, and I will never spare the rebellious son who eats inside and outside! "

Fortunately, Leng Yuanxun was vigilant and Qu Lingxu was there to help, otherwise the matter would be irreparable. If so, even if Marquis of Huaiyang killed Leng Yuanling a hundred times, he would not be able to get rid of his hatred!

Huaiyang Hou was angry, but he also knew that if he dealt with Leng Yuanling at this time, he would only startle the snake, and let Murong Li take precautions in advance, so he suppressed the anger in his heart, and was supported by Leng Yuanxun back to the room to rest.As for Leng Yuanling, the person he sent out to eavesdrop on the news obviously returned in vain, which made him very angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. He only hoped that Murongli's people would be able to deal with it in the main hall tomorrow. Leng Yuanxun's false identity must be confirmed.

Rumors were spreading in the capital, and Qu Lingxu naturally knew about it. Although Leng Yuanxun hadn't explicitly mentioned this plan to her before, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood what the other party wanted to do, so he didn't have any mood swings. When Yunyi and Yunxin first got the news, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, but when they saw their master's calm look, they realized that their worries were completely unnecessary, so they also left , what should I do?

For many people, this night was undoubtedly a long and tormented one. As for what each person was considering, only the parties themselves knew, but no matter how long the night was, it would eventually pass. Due to the influence of rumors, Many of the ministers were concerned with interests, or were keen on gossip, and most of them arrived a quarter of an hour early by coincidence, forming a circle in twos and threes, whispering endlessly, and it seemed that the official master Leng Yuanxun, who arrived at the normal time, was coming soon late.

Even if his identity is temporarily disputed, the prestige Leng Yuanxun has accumulated in the court with his strength over the years should not be underestimated. Seeing him stepping into the hall, all the whispering ministers involuntarily stopped talking, He went back to his proper place and stood up. Seeing this scene, Murong Li, who had been watching coldly, couldn't help but frowned slightly.

We must take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Leng Yuanxun, otherwise in a year or two, when the opponent's wings are fuller, he will not be able to get rid of him even if he wants to.

As for Murong Jing, he naturally had similar thoughts in his heart, but he needed to win over Leng Yuanxun to deal with Murong Li for the time being, so he never showed it.

Leng Yuanxun naturally felt the delicate atmosphere above the court, but his expression was always as peaceful as usual, and he didn't even move his eyebrows. Such an expression and behavior fell into the eyes of those upright ministers, and it was even more important to them. A little appreciation.

A boy who is only as weak as a crown can have such a psychological quality that the mountain collapses in front of him without changing his color. This kind of concentration is not only far beyond the reach of ordinary noble boys, even the prince who stands on the imperial steps is also compared. go down.

Before there was too much time to think, the high-pitched voice of the chief eunuch had already reached everyone's ears, "The emperor is here!"

Hearing this, everyone knelt down and said loudly: "Long live my emperor!"

"All loves, get up!" Because today the emperor will announce that Princess Qingyu is marrying Leng Yuanxun, the emperor is in a good mood. After signaling everyone to get up, he chuckled and said, "I have something important to report today. ?”

Since the epidemic in Jiangling was stabilized, Qu Liancheng's soldiers encircled and suppressed the Red Lotus Sect was the only major event. However, given the good news just came a few days ago, the latest battle situation has not yet been received. , and there is no need for the emperor to personally adjudicate, so they all expressed that they had no basis to play.

The emperor wished that everything would be peaceful and peaceful every day, and he was in a better mood unconsciously. He turned his head slightly, and the chief internal supervisor immediately took out a scroll of bright yellow imperial decree, and said loudly: "The emperor has a decree, the Marquis of Huaiyang The eldest son Leng Yuanxun accepts the order!"

Leng Yuanxun had known the emperor's plan for a long time, so he was naturally not surprised. He just walked to the center of the hall and knelt down, saying solemnly: "I respectfully accept the emperor's will."

"Following the emperor's decree, Huaiyang Marquis son Leng Yuanxun is wise and courageous, with excellent conduct, and is the leader of the clan's children. I am very happy, and I specially named him a son-in-law, referring to marrying Princess Qingyu. All marriage and marriage matters are left to the internal affairs. It must be handled grandly and solemnly by the government to show the royal majesty, this is my admiration!"

After the eunuch finished reading it aloud, he rolled up the imperial decree again, and slowly descended the steps, smiling all over his face, he said, "My servant congratulates Prince Leng on his great joy, please accept the decree!"

Hearing the eunuch's words, Leng Yuanxun did not raise his hand to take the imperial decree, but knelt on the ground without moving. The chief eunuch has served in the palace for many years, so he naturally knew that Leng Yuanxun had no intention of treating Princess Qingyu, but even so, the imperial edict had been issued It is also not allowed to be changed, otherwise it will be contemptuous of the king and implicate the whole family.

When the Xuanzhi eunuch was muttering in his heart, the emperor on the throne frowned unconsciously, and just as he was about to speak, someone from the group of officials came out slowly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

The person who spoke was Liu Yushi from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the father of the Liu Jingze mentioned earlier, how could Liu Jingze's temperament hide things, and he told Liu Yushi the outside rumors as soon as he returned from the restaurant, Liu Yushi Shi Zheng was astonished, and suddenly received the news from Murong Li, asking him to adapt to the situation in the court today and pick out the matter. Right now, it is an excellent time, otherwise, once Leng Yuanxun receives the imperial edict, he will be appointed by the emperor. Consort, things are much more difficult than now.

The emperor was displeased by Leng Yuanxun's delay in accepting the order. Seeing Liu Yushi interjecting so abruptly, he naturally had no good tone, and said coldly: "Is there something important that must be said now?"

"Returning to the emperor is indeed a very important matter." Liu Yushi cupped his hands again, and said respectfully: "The emperor doesn't know something. Since yesterday, there have been rumors circulating in the streets and alleys of the capital. Presumably many adults present have also heard."

"What rumors?" The emperor knew Liu Yushi well, he knew that Liu Yushi was not a person without measure, and he would definitely not bring a small rumor to the court, so his expression was two points more serious than before.

However, this time, before Liu Yushi could answer, Leng Yuanxun said first: "Report to the emperor, this rumor is about the identity of the minister, so...the minister dare not accept the emperor's kindness, nor can he marry the princess."

"Your life experience?" After hearing so many words, not only did the emperor fail to understand the whole story, but he became even more confused, so he couldn't help but said again: "Let me explain clearly."

Leng Yuanxun nodded slightly, picked up the focus of the rumors and reported it to the emperor, and then said neither humble nor overbearing: "I didn't go out yesterday, and I only learned about it when I got up early today, and I dare not hide it from the emperor."

"Absurd! It's nonsense!" The emperor never expected to hear such news. It's not that he feels sorry for Leng Yuanxun, but it's just that the dignified son of the Marquis Mansion has been reduced to the people's gossip. Royal dignity?
Thinking in this way, the emperor glanced coldly over Murong Jing's face, "You've heard about it too, haven't you?"

Seeing that the emperor's tone was not friendly, Murong Jing hurried down the steps, bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "Forgive me, my son, I only learned the news early in the morning. I just thought the rumors were groundless, so I didn't mention them."

"Confused!" The emperor slapped the side of the imperial chair heavily, and shouted angrily: "Such a big matter can be uncovered by the word nonsense, let me check it out immediately, and I want to see, who wants to be here?" The wind and the rain are stirring up the capital!"

In the eyes of the emperor, whether Leng Yuanxun is the son of Huaiyang Hou is important or not, but the most important thing is who is behind the scenes to promote and operate all these things, and can spread rumors to such an extent in just a few hours, the power must not be tolerated Look down, this is what should be the most worrying.

After being reprimanded by the emperor, Murong Jing didn't dare to delay for a while, and hurriedly arranged for someone to go out of the palace to investigate, and then said cautiously: "As a prince, I didn't think carefully, and failed to relieve my father's worries in time, please forgive me .”
