Chapter 603: The Prince Consort

The next two days, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli lived in their own world, and they were very close to each other every day.

On the third day, Xia Mo came to inform Ye Xuan and Su Mengli: "My father is going to marry Chen Jinling, and the date is set for the eighth day of next month. Don't forget it when the time comes."

Ye Xuan was surprised: "The eighth day of next month? That's less than half a month, so soon?"

Xia Mo seemed very happy: "My father is so old, of course he has to hurry up, hey, Mengli, why do you look different from before?"

Su Mengli awakened her original memory, so naturally her eyes were different. Compared with before, her eyes were less willful and more calm.

Su Mengli listened to Xia Mo's words and smiled: "Me? Maybe because I'm more mature."

"By the way, do you know why my father chose the eighth day of next month?"

Ye Xuan shook his head and said: "I don't know, is it because the eighth day of next month is a good day?"

Xia Mo explained: "More than that, the eighth day of next month was chosen because it is indeed a good day.

More importantly, the eighth day of next month is the day of Princess Mingxia's wedding.

By then, most of the officials in the court will attend the princess's celebration, so naturally no one will pay attention to my parents. They are old and don't want to be too high-profile."

Ye Xuan thought for a while and said: "What is the name of Princess Mingxia's son-in-law?"

"Wang Anxu, he is the top scholar in the imperial examination and is good at painting. Even His Majesty likes his paintings. Princess Mingxia has been widowed for many years. It is normal for her to like such a young talent."

Ye Xuan was also stunned when he heard the three words Wang Anxu. It turned out to be him?

This seems to be a character in another version of Painted Skin, right?

This is a real scumbag, the kind that can't be scumbag anymore.

Wang Anxu was born in poverty and made a living by selling calligraphy and paintings, but he admired Mei Sanniang, a prostitute who sold art but not her body, so he saved money to meet Mei Sanniang.

After meeting, the two fell in love with each other. Wang Anxu had nothing, but he could capture the heart of a beautiful woman. If this were put in modern society, it would be unimaginable.

This difficulty is equivalent to an unemployed vagrant hooking up with a beautiful female star with a little fame.

It is completely fine for a poor scholar to be an unemployed vagrant, and for selling art but not her body to be a female star. Even female stars have been elevated.

After all, in today's society, how many female stars can really play the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, playing instruments and singing?

Most of them are actually the opposite of Mei Sanniang. Mei Sanniang sells art but not her body, while they sell their bodies but not their art, because they really have no art to sell.

Unfortunately, Wang Anxu was not satisfied with this. He relied on Mei Sanniang's savings to go to Beijing to take the exam in order to have a good future.

Wang Anxu was indeed talented and successfully passed the imperial examination.

Unfortunately, he did not come back to pick up Mei Sanniang and let her enjoy the good life with him, but hooked up with Chen Chuhui, a young lady from the prominent Chen family.

Chen Chuhui had a prominent family, and she did not know that Wang Anxu had been married. It can be said that she was deceived by Wang Anxu.

Later, Mei Sanniang learned that Wang Anxu had passed the imperial examination and was with the young lady from the prominent Chen family. She was pregnant and went to question Wang Anxu.

Unfortunately, Wang Anxu had lost all his conscience in order to climb up. He burned Mei Sanniang and her unborn child to death.

And Wang Anxu was not with Chen Chuhui. He was appreciated by His Majesty for his calligraphy and painting. Coincidentally, Princess Mingxia, who married far away and lost her husband, returned. His Majesty arranged for Wang Anxu to paint for Princess Mingxia to entertain her.

Princess Mingxia just lost her husband. She developed feelings for Wang Anxu, who was both talented and beautiful, and had an affair with him.

But Princess Mingxia couldn't be with a married woman. Wang Anxu wanted to be a royal consort and climb higher.

When his wife Chen Chuhui was giving birth, he bribed the midwife to kill Chen Chuhui.

In this way, Wang Anxu's second stumbling block on the road to success was gone.

Now, he has set a wedding date with the princess. Presumably, his first two wives have been killed by him.

Ye Xuan has read many stories about scumbags. Wang Anxu can be called the scumbag among scumbags. He has reached the point where he can't be any worse.

Others were killed by ghosts, and they may have died unjustly. The final outcome of Wang Anxu was that he was killed by his first two wives on the wedding night. He deserved to die.

Of course, here we have to mention why the evil ghosts of Mei Sanniang and Chen Chuhui could deal with Wang Anxu in the capital.

The dragon scale on the gate of Longdu can suppress all kinds of demons and monsters from outside and prevent them from entering Longdu.

But if these demons are born inside Longdu, they cannot be suppressed.

Mei Sanniang and Chen Chuhui were both killed in Longdu. They were filled with resentment on the spot, and their souls lingered and turned into evil spirits, ready to seek revenge on Wang Anxu.

Although Ye Xuan was familiar with the plot, Wang Anxu and even his third wife, Princess Mingxia, deserved to die.

Because when Wang Anxu and Princess Mingxia were hooking up, Chen Chuhui was still alive.

Later, Wang Anxu killed Chen Chuhui, and Princess Mingxia knew it very well. Even this might have been instructed by Princess Mingxia.

Therefore, Princess Mingxia was not a good thing either, and she deserved to die as well.

Ye Xuan was not going to save any princess. He turned and said, "Xia Mo, do you know any way to meet the Heavenly Master of the Protectorate? I want to meet this Heavenly Master."

Xia Mo shook his head and said, "This is difficult. The old Heavenly Master guards the capital and is in seclusion all year round. He will only come out when a disaster happens to the dynasty. Not to mention you, even if Chen Jinling wants to see the Heavenly Master of the Nation, it is very difficult."

Ye Xuan was a little disappointed and said, "Is that so? That's a pity."

"What do you want to see the Heavenly Master of the Nation?"

Ye Xuan smiled and said, "I just want to see the style of this first person in Taoism."

Xia Mo smiled and said, "That's even worse. If anyone wants to see the Heavenly Master of the Nation, then the old Heavenly Master doesn't have to do anything and just wait to see people."

"Yes."

Knowing this result, Ye Xuan was not surprised. If he can't see him for the time being, then he can't see him. He needs to be strong to forge iron. If he can't see the old Heavenly Master for the time being, he should focus on improving his own strength.

As they were chatting, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves, and then several evil-suppressing iron envoys walked in quickly: "Ye Yinling, Su Yinling, something happened at Wu Shiyu's home. The situation is quite complicated. Please come forward to deal with it."

Ye Xuan's face changed slightly: "Wu Shiyu? Okay, you lead the way."

Wu Shiyu's full title is the Palace Shiyushi, a third-rank official, which can be said to be quite prestigious. No one knows what happened.
