Chapter 98 It’s Your Own Fault

Ling Feng pushed the door open and knelt on one knee: "Master."

Ji Yucang's voice was cold and ruthless: "Gu Yanran poisoned the king and the princess. Considering that she is my brother and sister, I will spare her life and send her to the army to reward the soldiers--"

"Cousin!" Gu Yanran seemed to have just woken up from a dream. Her face was pale. She crawled forward on her knees and said in a shrill voice, "I won't go, I won't go! It was the medicine that Princess Jiayu gave me. She...she lied to me! She said it was not poison. As long as my cousin took it, he would love me wholeheartedly in the future. I didn't murder my cousin! I won't Murdering my cousin——"

"Princess Jiayu?" Ji Yucang's eyes were as cold as ice, "Did she give you the medicine?"

"Yes, it was Princess Jiayu." Gu Yanran nodded repeatedly, almost scared to death, "Princess Jiayu said that this medicine is not poisonous. As long as my cousin is poisoned, he will be with the first woman he sees after the attack... From then on, he will fall in love with her wholeheartedly. I... I am obsessed, cousin, please forgive me! I dare not do it again, cousin, please forgive me, I will never dare to do it again! Please forgive me once!"

Ling Feng looked at Gu Yanran in disbelief.

A cousin who lives in the palace, wasn't she very obedient before? What happened recently?

Not only did she repeatedly oppose the princess, but she even murdered the prince?

Where did she get such courage?

"Ling Feng." Ji Yucang said coldly, "Which general in the army has not married yet?"

Ling Feng thought for a while: "After General Wei Yang Ming's original wife died of dystocia, he has been staying in the army for these years without marrying again, but he is a little old..."

Ji Yucang said indifferently: "Go and tell him that my cousin Gu Yanran is betrothed to him, and he must get married within half a month."

Gu Yanran's face changed drastically, and she begged: "Cousin, I don't want it--"

Ji Yucang's eyes were intimidating: "Or you would rather serve the soldiers in the army."

Gu Yanran seemed to be frozen on the spot, and all the unfinished words were blocked in her throat. The whole person was like falling into an ice cellar, and the blood on her face faded little by little.

General Wei Yang Ming is already thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old. Although he is a general in the army, he is far from the level of the regent's confidant general.

He has good combat ability, but he is rude and a big and strong man.

Gu Yanran couldn't believe that she was going to marry such a person.

"My aunt told my cousin to treat me well before she died." She looked at Ji Yucang desperately, her eyes red and full of accusations, "Is this how my cousin takes care of me?"

"This king allowed you to live in the Regent's Palace, and promised to choose a husband for you, but you didn't want to." Ji Yucang's voice was as cold as water, piercing the bone, "It would be fine if you didn't want to, but you always opposed the princess, and tonight you had evil thoughts about this king, which I can't tolerate."

After that, he coldly ordered: "Ling Feng, take her back to Yanran Bureau, and don't let her step out of Yanran Residence before she gets married."

"Yes."

Gu Yanran wanted to say more, but Ji Yucang shut her up with one sentence: "If you say one more word, you will report directly to the army."

Gu Yanran's blood was flowing backwards all over her body, and she was taken out in a daze.

Ji Yucang didn't say anything else, and stayed in the study to handle the government affairs that needed to be handled.

The next morning, he made two decisions that surprised everyone: "Starting today, the consort of the Princess's Mansion Qin Yumo, the consort of Princess Jiahe Shen Huaishu, and the consort of Princess Jiayu Qi Mingyu will follow me and obey my orders."

"If consort Shen and consort Qi make achievements in the court, they can be assigned four private guards in the future, enjoy equal rights with the princesses, and can take two concubines at most."

After the order was issued, the two princesses Jiahe and Jiayu were so angry that they almost lost control on the spot.

Allow the consort to take concubines?

This order was obviously aimed at the two of them, trampling on the dignity of their royal princesses!

What exactly does the regent want to do?

He just can't bear to see them live well, right?

However, even if the two were dissatisfied, they did not dare to question Ji Yucang. In their rage, they only vented their anger on the consort.

"Shen Huaishu, do you really want to take a concubine? Are you overjoyed and think that you can be on equal footing with me from now on?" Princess Jiahe whipped Shen Huaishu, "I tell you, don't even think about it - ah! Who? Who is looking for death?"

As usual, she whipped out with anger, but it did not fall on Shen Huaishu as she wished, but was caught by the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict.

He pleaded guilty in panic: "Please forgive me, Princess Jiahe. The regent has ordered that the two princes are court officials from now on. The princess must not take action against the princes again, otherwise it will be a private punishment of court officials and will be punished."

Shen Huaishu stood aside, clenching his hands, and his slightly restrained eyes were filled with turbulent emotions.

The regent wanted him and Qi Prince to go to him to obey orders?

Court officials?

What does this mean?

"Shen, the consort." The eunuch turned and saluted Shen Huaishu, "The Regent asked you to enter the palace now. After the morning court, he will examine the talents of the three consorts in the Qinzheng Hall."

"Shen Huaishu is my consort. Consorts cannot enter the court. Why does the Regent break the convention?" Princess Jiahe came to her senses and glared at the eunuch, "What are you thinking?"

The eunuch lowered his head and said humbly: "I am here on the order of the Regent. I dare not have any thoughts."

Princess Jiahe turned to look at Shen Huaishu and said angrily: "Shen Huaishu, if you dare to go, I will make you live a life worse than death when I come back tonight!"

"Princess Jiahe." The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict reminded in a low voice, "From today on, the status of Prince Consort Shen in the Princess's Mansion is the same as yours. After entering the court, Prince Consort Shen will still hold an official position. You have no right to punish him, otherwise the Regent will--"

"Shen Huaishu." Princess Jiahe's eyes fell on Shen Huaishu's face, and her eyes were as cold as a needle tip. "You dare to try."

Shen Huaishu was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "The Regent has an order, I dare not disobey."

Princess Jiahe's face was livid: "This princess does not allow you to go!"

Shen Huaishu lowered his eyes, and said the same thing: "The Regent has an order, I dare not disobey."

Princess Jiahe gritted her teeth and stared at him.

"Prince Consort, let's go now." The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict bowed and signaled, "You must go to the Qinzheng Hall to wait for the Regent first, but you dare not let the Regent wait for you, otherwise it would be disrespectful."

Shen Huaishu nodded slightly: "Please, eunuch."
