Chapter 722 You want to kill me?
When Prince Yang saw that his mother actually intended for him to marry Tang Xuening, he was immediately startled and quickly said:
"No! This is absolutely not possible!"
Are you kidding me?
The reason he was unwilling to marry Wu Yue'er was because this woman had always targeted the Third Princess Consort, and Tang Xuening was even worse!
"Mother, you're probably trying to kill me."
Consort Shu was dumbfounded and quickly said, "Look at what you're saying! I'm your mother, and I'm only doing this for your own good. How could I possibly harm you?"
"You know why Tang Xuening hasn't gotten engaged yet, Mother. She did so many stupid things and offended the entire Princess of Chu."
Although your son lacks ambition, he at least understands one thing: he absolutely won't provoke those he shouldn't, and the Chu Prince's Mansion is something he absolutely cannot afford to offend!
Prince Yang frankly told Consort Shu about his situation, "Please help me choose a girl with a clean background and a generous and proper demeanor. If she has a good relationship with Princess Chu, that would be even better."
If you can't find someone you have a good relationship with, it's better to find someone who has no connection with the Princess of Chu than someone you've offended!
Consort Shu was utterly astonished upon hearing her son's words.
It's only been a short time since we last met, what's wrong with my son? Why is he treating the Chu Prince's residence so badly?
Although everyone knew that the King of Chu was the Queen's son and had performed very well over the years, and she herself was vaguely aware of this, she did not expect the King of Yang to be so straightforward and to make things so clear.
However, she felt there was nothing wrong with Prince Yang having such awareness. She herself, living in the inner palace, naturally knew how difficult it was.
She did hope her son would become successful, but thinking about Consort Zhong now, she didn't have such a strong desire anymore; just being able to live a good life was enough.
"Do you have a girl you like?"
Prince Yang thought about it carefully. He hadn't thought much about marriage before. He usually waited for his father, the emperor, to bestow a marriage upon him. He spent most of his time with his brothers and didn't have much contact with girls.
However, when this was mentioned, a domineering girl suddenly popped into his mind.
Although they would have some arguments every time they met, he had always thought the girl was quite interesting.
"General Meng's Meng Qin, your mother has always wanted to match you two up, but every time you meet, you always end up arguing."
Consort Shu sighed helplessly. She and Madam Meng had been friends for many years and had always had a good relationship. After Madam Meng gave birth to Meng Qin, the idea of arranging a marriage between the two children had resurfaced in her mind.
The Meng family was of high status, and their eldest daughter was a perfect match for Prince Yang.
Prince Yang was surprised that his mother had mentioned Meng Qin first, and a hint of unease flashed across his face as he said:
"Mother, you know my current situation. It would be better to settle this marriage as soon as possible. Why don't you go and ask Miss Meng what she thinks of me?"
Consort Shu observed her son's reaction, as if she had suddenly realized something, and her expression became playful. Was her son really interested in Meng Qin?
"As you know, I have known Madam Meng for many years. Meng Qin is a lively and good girl."
If you're interested in her, I might as well ask her. But if you're just doing this to appease her, that's not appropriate.
Seeing the suspicious look on Consort Shu's face, Prince Yang said, "Mother, although I am not very successful, I am definitely not a bad person."
If we get married, I will naturally treat my wife well and will never mistreat or betray her!
Unlike others, he has never indulged in philandering over the years. He doesn't even have a concubine in his household. He knows his own limitations and is aware of how many people are waiting to find fault with him, so he has never made a mistake.
If they were to get married, and the other person were a kind and understanding girl, he would naturally treat her well.
Hearing this, Consort Shu felt relieved and said, "Alright, then I'll send someone to invite Madam Meng over right away."
the other side.
After dressing up carefully, Wu Yue'er arrived at the Prince Yang's residence. She refused to believe that Prince Yang could remain unmoved by her beautiful appearance!
However, when she arrived, she learned that Prince Yang was not at the palace.
"You're not lying to me, are you? Prince Yang really left?"
“Princess, we are telling the truth. The prince is really not in the manor.”
Wu Yue'er felt a surge of displeasure. Had she wasted her time dressing up today?
“Princess, it seems that His Highness Prince Yang truly has business to attend to today, and is not deliberately refusing your invitation,” the maid said.
Wu Yue'er raised an eyebrow. "You're right. It seems there was a misunderstanding. There's no need to rush. Let's make an appointment with him again tomorrow."
However, Wu Jingshuo was summoned to the palace at this moment.
"Prince Wu, all those who attacked General Dongzhong yesterday have been handed over to Shuntian Prefecture. After investigation, they were all found to be from your dynasty."
How do you explain this?
The Emperor's expression remained unchanged, as if it were just a casual greeting, but his words carried an invisible pressure in the ears of everyone present.
Wu Jingshuo's heart sank; he knew this matter was not something that could be easily let go.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This was all Ao Jie's fault. I was completely unaware of it!" Wu Jingshuo said.
Chu Junting and Chu Yungui exchanged a glance, knowing that this guy would try to shirk responsibility. However, this was the work of the Qi Yue Dynasty, and they couldn't deny it no matter what.
"According to you, all of this was just Ao Jie acting on his own initiative?"
“Exactly!” Wu Jingshuo affirmed. “I was unaware of his challenge to the Eastern General beforehand. If I had known, I would have stopped him and never let him do such a thing!”
"Whether I knew about this or not, it is my responsibility, and we cannot shirk it."
Wu Jingshuo knew that he could not shirk this responsibility. If he did not give an explanation, this matter would not be easily forgotten. Therefore, he could only express his attitude first.
"Ao Jie's injuries were severe. After examining him, the imperial physician bluntly stated that he would be bedridden and useless from now on, and would not even have the chance to sit up, let alone stand up again."
We are willing to apologize and make amends to General Dongzhong; this box of jewels is our token of sincerity.
When the Emperor saw that Wu Jingshuo had prepared gifts to apologize, he knew that Wu Jingshuo had come prepared.
Upon learning that Ao Jie had become a cripple, everyone in the Imperial Study felt much better, thinking that he truly deserved it!
"Please accept our apologies, General Dongzhong." Wu Jingshuo handed the items to Song Yanzhou with both hands and bowed again.
Song Yanzhou's eyes showed surprise. He hadn't expected Wu Jingshuo to be such a flexible and adaptable person, much smarter than Wu Yue'er. But this thing...
"Since it is a token of the Prince Wu's goodwill, you may accept it," the Emperor said.
Seeing this, Song Yanzhou finally accepted the items.
"General Dongzhong, I heard that you were crippled in both legs and couldn't stand up before. You were able to stand up again after meeting a divine doctor. So I would like to ask, which divine doctor was he?"
