Medical Princess

Chapter 806 The Anxious Wen Xichi

Chu Liuyue left the imperial palace angrily and returned to his mansion. As soon as he sat down in the study, he heard the eunuch saying that Wen Xichi was here. He calmed down a little and asked someone to invite him in. Originally, he wanted to pay a visit to Wen Xichi, but this man came at the right time.

Wen Xichi entered the room and saw Chu Liuyue sitting there with a sour face. He didn’t know the reason behind this man’s anger, but he didn’t care. He took two steps forward and bowed, saying, “Your Highness!”

“Yuanqing, please sit down. I happen to have something to discuss with you!” Chu Liuyue restrained his anger and said.

Wen Xichi sat down, then the servant served him tea and left the study. When His Highness and Lord Wen were in a discussion, no one dared to bother them.

“Please go ahead, Your Highness!” Wen Xichi said.

“You’d better tell me first. How is the investigation going?” Chu Liuyue took a rather annoyed breath and suppressed the surging anger in his heart.

“There’s nothing wrong with the previous investigation. After all, it’s an old matter from more than a decade ago, and we can’t find the person who sent the letter. I don’t know who sent the message. Who asked the Heir of Duke Xing to change his decision to do the things we don’t know yet? Why would he make such a decision for no reason? This person should not only be an acquaintance of the Heir of Duke Xing, but also trust him.”

In the past few days, Wen Xichi had been helping Chu Liuyue investigate the past of the Heir of Duke Xing. The deeper he dug, the more mysterious he felt it was. Up to now, he still had no clue. Chu Liuyue originally sent someone to ask him to tell him about the progress of the investigation, but when he found nothing at this time, he paid this visit.

“If we can’t find any progress, let’s just stop first!” Chu Liuyue said coldly with a gloomy face. It had something to do with Shao Wanru. Thinking of Shao Wanru’s attitude just now, he became angrier and worked hard to calm down. Then he said, “Do you think there are any benefits for me to marry the Fifth Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion?”

There was so much information in his words. After being stunned for a moment, Wen Xichi said slowly, “Your Highness, are you going to marry the Fifth Miss Shao?”

“She has Rui’an Great Elder Princess behind her. Although Rui’an Great Elder Princess has no real power, her rank is high. Besides, Imperial Grandmother likes her. Maybe she can say something nice about me in front of Imperial Grandmather,” Chu Liuyue said.

“Empress Dowager has never been concerned about who will inherit the throne. What’s more, Great Elder Princess has no real power, which is a shortcoming.” Wen Xichi’s voice was gentle. There was a trace of contemplation on his handsome face as he analyzed calmly.

These words seemed to have hit Chu Liuyue’s weak point. For a moment, he was so depressed that he couldn’t even say a word.

After a long while, he said, “She doesn’t deign to be something less than my legal wife. In fact, I have promised her the position of legal wife, but she was unwilling to wait for a while!”

Speaking of this, Chu Liuyue sounded still a little annoyed. He had made it so clear, which could be regarded as a show of his sincerity. He had never been so humble in front of a woman, but she didn’t appreciate it. As long as he thought of this, he couldn’t suppress his anger anymore.

On the way back, he was wondering if his words made Shao Wanru unhappy. Otherwise, how could such a sure thing fail? Thinking about what he had just said, Chu Liuyue felt that his previous proposal made Shao Wanru unhappy, so she said those words that embarrassed both of them.

“Is it because I didn’t promise her the position of my legal wife?”

Chu Liuyue thought it was true because he believed that his offer was very good. Not only would he help Shao Wanru’s younger brother to seize the title of nobility of Duke Xing’s Mansion in the future, but he would also help Shao Wanru find out what had happened to her parents. If someone framed her parents, he would also help her.

Even if Rui’an Great Elder Princess wanted to check it out, she didn’t have the resources.

From these two points of view, Shao Wanru had no reason to refuse. The reason why she refused at the moment was the way he spoke.

“Fifth Miss Shao wants to be your legal wife instead of a consort?” Wen Xichi frowned and asked with an enigmatic expression.

“I have talked to her before, and that’s what I mean. Yuanqing, do you think it’s good for me to marry her? Can I marry her?” Chu Liuyue nodded.

Wen Xichi fell silent. After a long while, he raised the corners of his mouth, which was somehow sarcastic. “Since she likes the position of your legal wife, let her get what she wants.”

He paused for a moment and said, “I am afraid that it will be hard to explain to Concubine De, so is His Majesty!”

Wen Xichi reminded Chu Liuyue.

Chu Liuyue frowned deeply. It was indeed a little difficult for him to marry Shao Wanru at once. He wanted to ask the Empress for her consent to the marriage on impulse before, but later Chu Liuchen ruined the opportunity. Later, when he went there, but the Empress seemed to be avoiding the topic deliberately. Then he slowly came to realize that he could take Shao Wanru as a consort first.

A consort was also registered in the royal family, so it was not a disgrace to her identity. And it was not possible for her to become his legal wife in the future. So he really thought there was no reason for her to refuse.

“What if I insist on marrying her?” Still, Chu Liuyue did want to give up.

“If Your Highness insists on marrying her, Concubine De will be furious and think that Your Highness has let her down. The Emperor has a better candidate from an aristocratic family. If you make the decision without his permission, the Emperor will be unhappy!” Wen Xichi calmly stated the fact.

Chu Liuyue was very clear about Concubine De’s intentions. At this time, it was better for him to listen to the Emperor on the matter of his marriage. If he married Shao Wanru, who was not a good choice in the Emperor’s mind, it would inevitably arouse the Emperor’s anger. At such a critical moment, he could not make any mistakes in his marriage.

“But she only wants to be the legal wife... What should we do?” Chu Liuyue said.

Hearing Chu Liuyue’s words, Wen Xichi felt a little angry for no reason. He raised the corner of his mouth and said with a slight disdainful smile. He thought he finally knew this woman.

She had been close to him before. When she first arrived in the capital city, she deliberately approached him, even investigated him, and reminded him of the danger surrounding him. He was grateful to her. Now that he thought about it, he realized that this woman chose him because he was the son of the Prime Minister, and she was only the daughter of Ningyuan Army General, which meant that if she could marry him, she and her family would benefit a lot.

Now since her status was high, she no longer took a fancy to him. Instead, she developed an interest in Prince Cheng and even asked Prince Cheng for the position of his legal wife.

It turned out that he misjudged her because he once thought she was a well-behaved and polite girl.

Inexplicably, there was a surge of anger in her heart. This anger came too suddenly as if he had been betrayed. And the anger must be vented.

“Your Highness, if you really want her to be your consort, you have to plan it carefully. If she can’t be your legal wife because of her own reasons, Rui’an Great Elder Princess can’t blame you. She will also think that Your Highness is a righteous person. For the Empress and Concubine De, they would also believe that you have no intention of disobeying them.”

He blurted out.

When he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the corners of her eyes twitched. He reached out to rub the corners of his eyes, closed her eyes, and felt very tired. There was a kind of exhaustion from the bottom of his heart. He subconsciously covered his chest with his hands. At this moment, he actually felt very uncomfortable.

“Do you have any good idea?” Chu Liuyue’s eyes lit up. Of course, this was the best way if Shao Wanru was willing to be a consort. And he would also gain gratitude from Rui’an Great Elder Princess.

Wen Xichi lowered his head and clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves. He couldn’t tell how he felt in his heart. He just felt his chest stuffy and out of breath.

“Yuanqing, do you have any good idea?” Chu Liuyue asked. He had never wanted a woman so much. Since he liked this one, she could live in his mansion.

Wen Xichi suppressed the anxiety in his heart and said, “The candidates are now in the palace and I suppose the restrictions in Chuxiu Palace should not be too strict, right?”

“Although the Chuxiu Palace is the main palace in the palace, there is no master in it. Now there are beautiful girls living in it, so it is not strictly guarded,” Chu Liuyue said.

“Your Highness, do you have any way to put something that belongs to a male in Fifth Miss Shao’s room?” Wen Xichi, who had always been strong-willed, suppressed a trace of worry in his heart and continued to ask.

“Put men’s objects in her room?” Chu Liuyue thought for a moment and nodded. It was not a difficult thing. In the morning, the ladies would learn the etiquette rules of the palace together. It was indeed possible to find someone to put the things in Shao Wanru’s room. “I can find someone to do it and no one would know about it. But what should we do next?

“Ask the nanny in charge to check the house and she will find the man’s things. If Your Highness can put the blame on yourself at this time, it will be considered settled!”

Wen Xichi said.

In fact, the first part of this matter was not difficult. It was not even difficult to bribe some people from Chu Xiuyue’s palace, not to mention that they were sent by Chu Liuyue. They could just say that it was instructed by other candidates in the palace. It was impossible for them to find that Chu Liuyue was behind it. But what they should do next was not easy.

However, it was not impossible. he just needed to deal with it appropriately. If Chu Liuyue said that the things in Shao Wanru’s room were his, Rui’an Great Elder Princess would even be grateful to Chu Liuyue because he saved Shao Wanru and made Shao Wanru have to enter Prince Yue’s Mansion.

“That’s a good idea!” Chu Liuyue patted the table and laughed, feeling that the depression in his heart suddenly disappeared. “But as for the details, please help me plot!”

“Your Highness, if you really have an idea, you can indeed make a plan, but you have to make a plan carefully and must not let others find out about it!” Wen Xichi said, feeling more and more annoyed. He stood up and cupped his hands toward Chu Liuyue and said, “Your Highness, I have something to do, so I’ll go first. If you really want to do it, I’ll help you after making a plan.”

Chu Liuyue wanted to stop Wen Xichi, but seeing that this man was a little upset, he thought that Wen Xichi had something important in mind, so he could only nod and said, “Okay, you can go back first. If you are free tomorrow, you can come over and discuss it with me!”

Chu Liuyue didn’t think it was urgent, but he didn’t expect that the matter would be settled that night. The Empress Dowager’s decree arrived at Duke Xing’s Mansion and granted a marriage for Chu Liuchen and Shao Wanru. On that night, Shao Wanru returned to Duke Xing’s Mansion from the Chuxiu Palace...
