Chapter 1959: Feeling Uncomfortable
After Crown Prince Yuwen Yanyu was made the Crown Prince, he moved back to the Eastern Palace.
“Mother, are you looking for your son?” The Crown Prince had just left court when he received a message from the Empress and rushed over.
The Empress was flipping through a picture album in her hand. When she saw the Crown Prince coming over, she waved her hand and said with a smile,” Crown Prince, come over!”
The Crown Prince walked over curiously and saw that the paintings were all of young women.
The empress flipped through a piece of paper and pointed at the woman in the painting.” Crown Prince, this girl is Grand Secretary Fang’s granddaughter from his hometown. She’s beautiful and intelligent, dignified and virtuous. Would she be suitable to be the crown princess consort? Grand Secretary Fang’s students are all over the world, and they’ll help you manage the country. And this is Grand Scholar Li’s daughter. I heard that she’s proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She’s even a great beauty. Oh, and this…”
The Crown Prince frowned tightly. When he heard the Empress’ endless introduction of the daughters of the various families, his frown deepened. He seemed to be somewhat displeased as he interrupted and asked,” Mother, what are you doing?”
The Empress pointed at the portrait and said,” Of course, I’m choosing the Crown Princess Consort for you! Yao ‘er has already been gone for two years; you should marry another Crown Princess Consort .”
The Empress knew the truth behind Ye Yao’s death.
Therefore, she was furious about Ye Yao’s betrayal of the Crown Prince.
She was really an ingrate.
However, since she was dead, it was all in the past. The Empress did not have the mood to dwell on it anymore.
The crown prince said unhappily,” Mother, the crown princess consort has only passed away for two years, and now they’re starting to appoint a new crown princess consort. What do all the civil and military officials think? What will the world think?”
According to the rules of the royal family, the prince would only be remarried after three years of mourning.
Back then, after the previous empress passed away, the emperor married the empress’s younger sister three years later and conferred her the title of empress.
The Empress put down the album and said seriously,” Don’t mention that woman to me! How can a woman who can betray her husband be remembered for three years?” After saying that, she glanced at the picture album again and continued,” Besides, it was your father’s request to appoint another crown prince consort!”
The Crown Prince was stunned and could not react in time.” Father?”
The Empress nodded.” That’s right!”
The Crown Prince lowered his head slightly and was silent for a moment. After pondering for a moment, he said,” Alright, Mother, you can pick whichever woman you think is suitable to be the Crown Prince’s wife!”
The Empress nodded.
The Crown Prince, who had returned to the Eastern Palace, did not quite understand his father’s proposal to appoint a Crown Princess Consort for him.
The only thing he could think of now was that he might not have a legitimate son yet, so his father seemed a little anxious.
At the thought of this, he thought of the child in Lin Yuelan’s stomach. He narrowed his eyes and calculated the time. It should be about time for her to give birth.
He snapped his fingers, and a hidden guard appeared in front of him.
The Crown Prince clasped his hands behind his back and asked sternly,” How did it go?”
“Crown Prince, everything is going smoothly!” The secret guard replied,” There will be news from the western border in a few days.”
The Crown Prince nodded.” Yes, keep your actions confidential. You may leave!”
“Yes, sir!” With that, the secret guard disappeared.
After the secret guard left, the Crown Prince sat on the chair and tapped the table lightly with one hand. He seemed to be thinking deeply. After an unknown period of time, he suddenly said,” It seems that we have to speed up the operation!”
..
From the moment the Emperor sent a team of elite guards to escort Lin Yuelan to the moment they entered the Black Clouds Kingdom, everything had been smooth sailing. They had not encountered any assassination attempts. It was very peaceful.
What was going on?
However, as soon as Lin Yuelan stepped into the Black Clouds Kingdom, she felt a heavy and hazy aura. It was as if someone was watching her at any time, and her throat was being strangled.
Lin Yuelan felt slightly uncomfortable.
She secretly communicated with Little Green and asked,” Little Green, go and investigate. What exactly is going on? Why do I feel uncomfortable the moment I come here?”
When Little Green heard that Lin Yuelan wasn’t feeling well, he was shocked and jumped in fright. He asked with concern,” Sister, are you alright? Let me look at you!”
After saying that, the green essence flowed into Lin Yuelan’s body. When he discovered that everything was normal, Little Green was finally relieved. He then said with some doubt,” Sister, I checked. Everything is normal. Why do you feel uncomfortable?”
Lin Yuelan frowned slightly and said,” I’m fine now. I just felt uncomfortable for a moment.”
Little Green nodded in confusion.” Oh!”
