Chapter 134 Calculation
Wei Xuan and Princess Shou went directly to the Huo family's temporary residence in the capital. Huo Long brought Huo Nanfeng to the capital and would stay there for a while.
Fu Ran originally wanted to go back first, but Mingyue held her back and asked her to stay for a while.
"Fu Ran, please stay and keep me company." Mingyue said in a hoarse voice.
Yuan Xin, who was standing by, couldn't stand it.
"Mingyue, let Fu Ran go back first. She has children at home who need to be taken care of. It's enough for me to accompany you." Yuan Xin had a faint smile on her face and spoke gently enough.
But she tried her best to endure it.
Why did Fu Ran come along? It was totally unnecessary for her to come here.
Originally, she could have stayed with Wei Xuan, and maybe she could have even accompanied Wei Xuan to the Huo family to help Mingyue break off the engagement.
Fu Ran glanced at Yuan Xin indifferently.
The attitude of chasing people away is too obvious.
If she wants to enter the Wei family, I will not stop her.
If Yuan Xin only wanted to please Madam Wei and Wei Xuan so as to enter the mansion, she would be happy to see it happen. However, Yuan Xin began to exclude her and even used some tricks against her.
If you can fight back, who would allow themselves to be bullied?
"There's no rush. Wuyou is in the mansion, and she is being looked after by a wet nurse and maids. She is still young, and all she does during the day is eat and sleep. She is also very well-behaved. I'll stay and accompany Mingyue first." Fu Ran stayed.
Yuan Xin suppressed her expression of embarrassment and disgust.
Fu Ran really wanted to go against her.
They were gone for most of the day and didn't even return for lunch.
Fu Ran stayed at Prince Shou's mansion for dinner.
Mingyue had no appetite, so Fu Ran went to the kitchen to cook some appetizer porridge for her. Mingyue drank a small bowl of it.
She kept cursing the Huo family.
He was also anxiously waiting for his mother and Wei Xuan to come back soon.
Shortly after noon, an imperial edict arrived from the palace.
Mingyue was confused.
Why did the palace suddenly issue an imperial decree when my mother is not here?
After so many years, except for the imperial edict from the palace when Prince Shou passed away, she thought that the palace had long forgotten about Prince Shou's Mansion.
Princess Shou was not at home, so Mingyue went to receive the order.
Fu Ran was not from the Prince Shou's Mansion, so she didn't have to go to receive the imperial edict, but Mingyue insisted that she go with her, so she had no choice but to kneel down and receive the imperial edict together.
The eunuch in charge sang out the imperial edict loudly.
The kneeling man frowned more and more as he listened.
This imperial edict was particularly interesting. If it were any other time, it would have been a major event for the Shouwang Mansion.
But today, it doesn't seem like a good thing.
"Little Princess, please obey the order quickly." Eunuch De, who was delivering the order, said in a shrill voice.
Mingyue accepted the order in a daze and asked someone to reward Eunuch De.
Eunuch De was about to return to the palace to report the order.
"My little princess, this is a blessing from heaven." After saying this, Eunuch De left.
Mingyue stared blankly at the imperial edict in her hand.
She pursed her lips and looked at Yuan Xin and Fu Ran.
"What does the emperor mean?" She felt that her brain was not enough.
"Mingyue, the emperor's decree says that as long as you get married, your husband will live in the Prince Shou's Mansion, and your future children will be able to inherit the title. This is truly a blessing from heaven." Yuan Xin did not expect that the emperor would issue such an edict.
Originally, there was no hope for the Shouwang Mansion.
Prince Shou has no son and cannot inherit the title. Mingyue is a princess and once she gets married, she will be further away from Prince Shou's Mansion. Sooner or later, Prince Shou's Mansion will be forgotten by the world.
Now that the imperial edict has been issued, it means that the emperor wants to preserve the Prince Shou's Mansion and the power that Prince Shou once had.
This is a great thing.
"Is it really a good thing?" Mingyue couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Is this a good thing?
Fu Ran, however, sensed something strange in it.
The time when this imperial edict comes is the most critical.
Prince Shou has been dead for so many years, and it didn't come earlier or later, but came at this time, which was such a coincidence with the arrival of the Huo family.
The Huo family remembered the arranged marriage with Prince Shou, and as a result, the Emperor issued a decree that Princess Mingyue's husband and children could inherit the title of Prince Shou.
Isn’t this sending power away?
The imperial court could have completely taken back the Prince Shou's Mansion.
"I'm afraid that this imperial edict was requested by someone with ulterior motives. The Huo family came to propose marriage, and the emperor issued such an edict. Others who are unaware of the situation would think that the Huo family came for this imperial edict. But the emperor did not issue the edict before the Huo family came." A faint shadow appeared in Fu Ran's mind.
This imperial edict was requested by someone.
This person is definitely not from the Shou Palace, nor can he be from the Huo family.
The Huo family held some power in Huzhou, but their power was far from reaching the capital.
Anyone who can ask for such an imperial decree from the Holy Spirit is not an ordinary person.
Among all the civil and military officials in the court today, there are only a handful of people who can or dare to ask for this imperial edict.
The shadow of *** emerged in Fu Ran's mind.
*** had not appeared in her life for some time, and she should have gotten rid of *** by herself.
But *** is never willing to give up easily.
Yuan Xin looked at Fu Ran in surprise. She had looked down on Fu Ran from the beginning.
Fu Ran was of humble origins; she was just a maid, and a second-class maid at that.
If she is a senior maidservant serving a noble, she would still have some knowledge, but what knowledge can a second-class maid have?
But now, the fact that she could say these words was shocking.
“What you mean is that someone deliberately asked for this imperial edict and colluded with the Huo family to let the Huo family and me marry. Then the Huo family can naturally take over everything belonging to the Shou Palace.” Mingyue’s heart sank.
Prince Shou once had a fiefdom, but none of his family members went there until he died in battle.
The fiefdom of Prince Shou has always been managed by someone, and it is Shouzhou.
Shouzhou is not far from Huzhou.
Therefore, the Huo family has set their sights on the fat piece of meat in Shouzhou.
Mingyue had never been to Shouzhou, so she didn't know what her father's fiefdom looked like during his lifetime, and her father never mentioned it. Her mother once said that Shouzhou was rich in silver mines, but the ownership of the silver mines belonged to the imperial court.
If you want to mine, you need to obtain the rights from the court.
The silver mining rights of Shouzhou have never been given to anyone else.
In the eyes of Prince Shou, he never cares about how much money he has.
The more Mingyue thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible.
"No, I can't let the Huo family succeed. At worst, I will kill Huo Long and Huo Nanfeng. Once they come to the capital, they can't leave easily."
If they really intended to attack Prince Shou's Mansion, she would never give them the chance to return to Huzhou alive.
"Mingyue, don't be impulsive. Let's wait until your aunt and Second Brother Wei come back." Yuan Xin advised.
Mingyue snorted.
"Wait, I don't want to wait. They have already calculated their plan on my face. Should I endure it? I'm going to meet Huo Nanfeng and see that he not only has a big mouth, but also a big face."
After Mingyue finished speaking, she was about to go to the weapons room where Prince Shou used to be.
Yuan Xin couldn't stop Mingyue, she glared at Fu Ran fiercely.
"It's all your fault. There are some things you shouldn't have told her. How are you going to end this now? What if she gets into trouble or gets hurt? Can you bear the consequences?"
