Shengjing Noble

Chapter 386: Ruining His Plans

Su Lanyin was thoughtful and felt that this matter was not simple and there might be more hidden secrets.

Thinking of this, she asked, "What happened next?"

The emperor continued talking as he walked, and when he talked about the past, his back couldn't help but bend a little.

"Later, Ah Yu fell in love with me and gave up her revenge, but she couldn't face me either, so she asked to move to the cold palace and never see me again. In order to protect her from being harmed by the queen, I had to pretend not to care about her."

"But I forgot that in this palace, people flatter the powerful and bully the weak, and never give people in the cold palace a chance to survive. I thought it was enough to send people to protect her, but I forgot that they would also be hungry, cold, and sick."

"I was only concerned with the affairs of the court at the time and had no time to pay attention to her until I found out that she was pregnant and gave birth to Mingchuan. I regretted it so much that I went to pick her and her child up in person."

"But Ah Yu refused to leave the cold palace, and refused to accept my advances. I am the emperor, and naturally I am proud. I left in anger, but I couldn't let her go after I came back."

At this point, Su Lanyin asked, "So you asked the Queen Mother to pick them up?"

"Ah."

"Mingchuan showed signs of being poisoned and his life was hanging by a thread. The Queen Mother showed up in time and rescued them from the cold palace, but it was too late. There was no antidote for Mingchuan's poison."

"Ayu felt that she was a burden to Mingchuan, and became depressed and sick. Not long after, she passed away. I wanted Mingchuan to follow the Queen Mother, but he refused to leave Suiyunxuan, so I had to give up."

"Perhaps knowing that he would not live long, the Queen never attacked him again, but let him die on his own. Ten years later, the head maid of Suiyunxuan was discovered abusing Mingchuan."

"I was extremely furious and killed the maid in secret. Then I arranged for the most trusted nanny beside the Queen Mother to stay at Suiyunxuan until Mingchuan came of age. I then gave him the palace and allowed him to leave the palace to recuperate."

Su Lanyin heard a father's shame, guilt and indebtedness in the emperor's words, but more importantly, she heard the helplessness of an emperor.

Ordinary people may not be able to understand it, but when a person shoulders the responsibilities of the world, handles a myriad of affairs every day, and is so busy that he doesn't even have time to sleep, he probably understands how helpless he is.

In fact, if the queen does a good job in her role, she will be the emperor's wise wife, in charge of the six palaces and responsible for all matters in the harem, including concubines, offspring and so on.

But the Queen was eyeing Concubine Lin and her son covetously. Not only did she not take care of them, she even tried every means to kill them.

The emperor was trapped by the complicated state affairs of the previous dynasty. The war situation and people's livelihood, each of which involved the lives and interests of countless people, which were obviously more important than a mother and son.

Therefore, his negligence was unavoidable.

After all, it is normal for an emperor to be unable to take care of the harem.

Even if an ordinary man works hard outside to earn money to support his family, he will not be able to take care of the elderly and children at home and still needs his wife to take care of him.

It’s all because of the world that has worn away Concubine Lin’s spirit and made her lose all hope.

After hearing this story, Su Lanyin felt very heavy and kept her head down all the way, lost in confusion.

Should she tell Fu Mingchuan about this?

Tell him that the truth is not as superficial as she previously understood, and let him understand his father?

After much thought, she felt that it was necessary to make things clear, otherwise the gap between father and son would become more and more serious.

When they returned to the banquet room, everyone had already taken their seats. She quietly stepped aside and returned to her seat, and the emperor finally walked to the main seat and sat down.

The next step was to grant marriage to the crown prince and the young lady from the Wei family. But before that, the emperor publicly announced that he would grant the dancer Lan Yinyin from the Imperial Music Bureau to Fu Mingli as his concubine.

The whole place was in an uproar.

"Oh my God! Does the Emperor really want the Fifth Prince to marry a dancer? She is a slave!"

"I heard that the Fifth Prince has been secretly in love with Lan Yinyin for a long time. Isn't the marriage granted now just what he wants?"

"But he is a prince after all. He actually married such a princess. It seems that he will never have the chance to hold an important position in the court in the future."

"Who knows if this is a blessing or a humiliation? Why would they suddenly grant me a marriage?"

"Just now I heard from the palace servants that the Fifth Prince and Lan Yinyin were caught having a secret meeting by the Emperor."

"No wonder! Today is the prince's birthday banquet, and he can't hold it back! It's normal for the emperor to be angry."

"This is great. A prince has married a dancer as his princess. I'm afraid he will become the biggest laughing stock in Shengjing City."

……

Everyone was talking about it, while Fu Mingli, who was kneeling in front to receive the order, had an ugly face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Lan Yinyin was very happy. The position of princess that she had longed for was finally obtained!

After the two of them left, she kept pulling Fu Mingli's sleeve and talking, but she didn't notice his increasingly impatient expression at all.

"Your Majesty, we are finally married! You said that you would let Su Lanyin become your princess, and I would remarry her after she died. But you see, that is no longer necessary. From now on, I am your legitimate wife!"

As she spoke, she happily hugged his arms, leaned her head on them, and immersed herself in the beautiful life in the future with a sweet look on her face.

This result was worth her efforts in seducing Fu Mingli.

She leaped from a lowly slave to a high and mighty princess, something that had never happened before or since.

This means that she has really become a phoenix!

Lan Yinyin was a little afraid that all this was a dream, and couldn't help but pinch her arm secretly. She frowned in pain but then smiled.

That’s great, it’s not a dream, it’s real!

Fu Mingli saw everything she did, and somehow, all the feelings he had for her in the past disappeared completely, leaving only irritation and anger.

If it weren’t for this idiot, he could marry Su Lanyin now!

That woman is much prettier than Lan Yinyin, and she has so many properties.

As long as Su Lanyin goes away, not only will the deficit in his palace be made up, but he will also be as rich as a country in the future, and even his brother the prince will have to look at his face.

Damn Lan Yinyin, she actually ruined his big plan!

Thinking of this, he pushed her away irritably and said coldly: "You should leave first, and I will send someone to take you back to the palace later."

Lan Yinyin was stunned for a moment, worry flashing in her eyes: "Prince, why are you unhappy? Don't you want to marry Yinyin?"

Fu Mingli frowned, his impatience had reached its peak, but he looked back at the emperor and forced himself to endure it.

"No, I am tired. Please leave first."

"Okay, then Your Majesty, please remember to send someone to pick me up as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Lan Yinyin reluctantly got up and left, looking back at Fu Mingli every three steps, her heart filled with joy.

She seemed to have seen the endless glory and luxurious life she would have after becoming a princess.

Little did she know that what was waiting for her ahead was only a deeper hell!
