Chapter 98 It’s your own fault
Ling Feng pushed the door open and knelt down on one knee: "Master."
Ji Yucang's voice was cold and ruthless: "Gu Yanran poisoned me and my princess, and for the sake of her fight with my brother and sister, I wanted to spare her life and serve in the army to reward the soldiers——"
"Cousin!" Gu Yanran looked as if she had just woken up from a dream, her face was pale, she knelt and crawled forward, her voice was stern, "I won't go, I won't go! It was Princess Jiayu who gave me the medicine, she...she lied to me ! She said it was not poison. As long as my cousin takes it, he will love me wholeheartedly. I did not murder my cousin! I will not murder my cousin-"
"Princess Jiayu?" Ji Yucang's eyes were as cold as ice, "Did she give you the medicine?"
"Yes, it's Princess Jiayu." Gu Yanran nodded repeatedly, almost losing her mind. "Princess Jiayu said that this medicine is not poisonous. As long as my cousin is infected with the medicine, after the attack, he will be with the first woman he sees... from then on. I fall in love with her, I'm obsessed with it, please forgive me, cousin! I don't dare to do it anymore, please forgive me, I won't dare to do it again! Please forgive me, cousin!"
Ling Feng looked at Gu Yanran in disbelief.
A cousin girl who lives in the palace, wasn't she very peaceful before? What's going on lately?
Not only did he repeatedly go against the princess, but he also plotted against the prince?
How could she be so bold?
"Ling Feng." Ji Yucang's voice was cold, "Who among the generals in the army is not married?"
Ling Feng thought for a while: "After the death of General Wei Yang Ming's first wife in childbirth, he has been in the army for many years and has not married again. It's just that he is a bit old..."
Ji Yucang said calmly: "Go and tell him that my cousin Gu Yanran is betrothed to him and he has to marry within half a month."
Gu Yanran's face changed greatly and she begged: "Cousin, I don't want-"
Ji Yucang's eyes were intimidating: "Maybe you would rather serve the soldiers in the army."
Gu Yanran seemed to be frozen on the spot, all the unfinished words were blocked in her throat, her whole body felt like falling into an ice cellar, and the blood on her face faded little by little.
General Yang Ming was thirty-seven or eighteen years old. Although he was a general in the army, he was far from being a trusted general of the regent.
His fighting ability is not weak, but he is rude and a strong man.
Gu Yanran couldn't believe that she was going to marry such a person.
"My aunt asked my cousin to treat me well before she died." She looked at Ji Yucang desperately, her eyes red and full of accusations, "Is this how my cousin took care of me?"
"I promised you to live in the Prince Regent's Palace, and also promised to choose a husband for you, but you don't want to." Ji Yucang's voice was as cold as water, as cold as ice, "It's okay if you don't want to, but you are always against the princess. Tonight He even has ulterior motives for me, which I cannot bear."
After that, he coldly ordered: "Ling Feng, take her back to the Yanran Bureau. Before she gets married, she is not allowed to take another step forward in Yanranju."
"yes."
Gu Yanran wanted to say more, but Ji Yucang shut her up with one sentence: "If you say one more thing, you will report directly to the army."
Gu Yanran's blood flowed all over her body and she was taken out in a daze.
Ji Yucang didn't speak anymore and stayed in the study to finish the government affairs that needed to be handled.
Early the next morning, he made two decisions that surprised everyone: "From now on, Qin Yumo, the consort of the eldest princess's palace, Shen Huaishu, the consort of Princess Jiahe, and Qi Mingyu, the consort of Princess Jiahe, will follow me and obey my orders."
"If Prince Consort Shen and Prince Consort Qi make great achievements in the court, they can be equipped with four personal guards in the future and enjoy equal rights with the princess. They can have up to two concubines."
As soon as the order was given, the two princesses Jiahe and Jiayu were so angry that they almost lost control on the spot.
Are concubines allowed?
This order was obviously aimed at the two of them, trampling the dignity of their royal princesses to pieces!
What does the Prince Regent want to do?
He just doesn't want to see them live well, right?
However, even if the two of them were dissatisfied, they did not dare to question Ji Yucang. In anger, they only vented their anger on the consort.
"Shen Huaishu, do you really want to take a concubine? Are you overjoyed, thinking that you can be equal to this princess from now on?" Princess Jiahe whipped Shen's concubine, "I tell you, you can't even think about it - ah! Who? Who is there? court death?"
As usual, he swung the whip with anger, but it did not fall on Shen Huaishu as expected. Instead, the little eunuch who delivered the order grabbed the tip of the whip.
He apologized in fear: "Princess Jiahe, please forgive me. The regent has an order. From now on, the two consorts will be the imperial court officials. The princess will not do anything to the consorts in the future. Otherwise, it will be a lynching of the imperial court officials and they will be punished."
Shen Huaishu stood aside, clenching his hands tightly, and his slightly narrowed eyes were filled with agitated emotions.
The regent wants him and Prince Consort Qi to come and obey orders?
Official appointed by the imperial court?
What does it mean?
"Shen Prince Consort." The eunuch who conveyed the order turned to salute Shen Huaishu, "The Regent has asked you to enter the palace now. After the morning court meeting, he will inspect the talents of the three Prince Consort in the Qinzheng Hall."
"Shen Huaishu is my princess's consort, and the consort cannot enter the court. Why does the regent break the convention?" Princess Jiahe came back to her senses and glared at the eunuch who passed the order, "What are you thinking?"
The eunuch who delivered the order lowered his head and spoke humbly: "This slave is here under the order of the regent. I don't dare to have any thoughts."
Princess Jiahe turned to look at Shen Huaishu and said angrily: "Shen Huaishu, if you dare to go, I will make your life worse than death when you come back tonight!"
"Princess Jiahe." The eunuch who passed the order reminded in a low voice, "From now on, Prince Consort Shen's status in the Princess's Mansion is the same as yours. After entering the court, Prince Consort Shen will still have an official position. You have no right to do anything to him. Punishment, otherwise the Regent will—"
"Shen Huaishu." Princess Jiahe's eyes fell on Shen Huaishu's face, her eyes glowing with a cold luster like needle tips, "You dare to try it."
Shen Huaishu was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "The Regent has an order, and I dare not disobey it."
Princess Jiahe's face turned livid: "I don't allow you to go!"
Shen Huaishu narrowed his eyes and said the same thing: "The Regent has an order, and I dare not disobey it."
Princess Jiahe gritted her teeth and stared at him.
"Prince-in-law, let's go now." The eunuch who delivered the order bowed and signaled, "You have to go to the Qinzheng Hall first and wait for the Regent. Don't dare to let the Regent wait for you, otherwise it will be disrespectful."
Shen Huaishu nodded slightly: "Please, father-in-law."
