Overcoming all difficulties, the princess is reborn to become the empress

Chapter 195 Choice

The next day, the two pieces of gossip quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Fenglan City, and there were also many rumors and discussions in the palace.

This story is about Shen Qianqian, one of the two talented ladies of Fenglan, who was secretly kissed by her cousin from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and was caught by the Empress Dowager and many officials' wives who came to the palace for a banquet.

There were also rumors that it was not just a secret kiss, Shen Qianqian's innocence was ruined yesterday...even worse, it turned out to be an affair between the two a few days later.

In short, various versions are flying around, and they are getting more and more outrageous.

The other is that Princess Yunsheng and Prince Yunsheng had been engaged since childhood.

Their Emperor Fenglan helped them to stay overnight in the palace but only arranged one room for them. Their Emperor Fenglan was very kind and hoped to bring them together so that they could become husband and wife as soon as possible...

Feng Yuqi, who knelt outside the imperial study until midnight yesterday and then rested in the palace at the request of the emperor, heard the second rumor after attending the court meeting. He was so angry that he rushed into the imperial study, pulled the cloth covering his eyes and questioned the emperor:

Was it intentional to help that sickly guy and Su Yunxuan by forcing him to kneel outside the imperial study yesterday and not allowing him to leave?

After the emperor took medicine at Concubine Shen's place yesterday, his physical strength and spirit did not recover as quickly as before, and he slept uneasily last night.

At the morning court, many ministers received memorials accusing the princess of disregarding the law and having private relations with court officials. She was already feeling low and in a very bad mood.

Faced with Feng Yuqi's unreasonableness, the emperor was so angry that he grabbed the memorial on the table and threw it at Feng Yuqi again.

Feng Yuqi not only did not dodge, but also stood straight and glared at the emperor.

The emperor was so angry that he shouted, "I did deliberately keep you and not let you go to the banquet. What, do you want to rebel against me for this?"

"Why? Why do you protect that sick person and help that sick person?" Feng Yuqi's eyes turned red.

The emperor looked at him for a moment, propped up his head and rubbed his temple, saying tiredly: "I didn't help him, I just gave them a chance. The boy seized the opportunity and took the lead himself. That's his ability."

"If you could agree to my proposal of granting marriage to Princess Yunsheng earlier, then how could this sickly guy have any chance?" Feng Yuqi was dissatisfied and almost roared.

The emperor glared at him angrily, "You also know that she is Princess Yunsheng, not my Fenglan woman. How can I decide this marriage just by saying so?"

"You have not been able to gain the support of the officials until now. It is still unknown whether my throne will eventually fall on your head. Even if you really get your wish and marry Princess Yun Sheng, what right do you have to protect her?"

"Your position will definitely be mine in the future." After the emperor finished speaking, Feng Yuqi continued in a decisive tone.

Hearing his words, the emperor sat up straight and looked at him and said, "Then you should focus on seizing the throne first. When you truly hold power, you can use your own strength to win back the person you love."

"Yes." Feng Yuqi's tone softened, he lowered his eyes and clenched his fists.

The emperor continued, "I also forced them to stay in the palace at your request. But tomorrow the Queen will be buried, and they are not suitable to stay in the palace any longer. You have to figure out how to keep them there."

"Yes." Feng Yuqi thanked him and stood up and left.

The emperor stared at his departing back and sighed deeply.

The eunuch hurriedly handed over some tea and explained, "Prince Hao is angry with Your Majesty now, because he has not yet realized your good intentions towards him. When Prince Hao takes your position in the future and enjoys the benefits of power, he will definitely remember Your Majesty's kindness."

The emperor felt a little better after hearing his words, and he started talking more.

He took a sip of tea, sighed again and said, "I hope so. He is too young and arrogant. If we don't give him some setbacks, he will never make progress."

"I don't have much time left. If I can see him take this position with his own strength, I will be relieved to hand over Fenglan to him."

"The emperor will surely live a long life." The eunuch took the teacup, put it down quickly, and knelt on the ground.

The emperor waved his hand at him and ordered him to leave.

The eunuch bowed and stepped back, gently closing the door of the imperial study. The emperor stood up and entered the secret room, staring at the portrait of the woman on the wall and muttering intermittently.

"His temper has become almost the same as mine back then. I still want to see with my own eyes whether he will make the same choice as I did back then..."

"Am I really wrong?..."

"If I cannot hold on until the day when he can take this position with his own strength, I will have to do it myself before I die."

"Yingbai, I'm already doing my best to make up for what I owe you. Please wait for me..."

……

After the farce last night, the Queen Mother ordered Su Yunxuan and Su Changfeng to be transferred to Qingfeng Courtyard.

The emperor only ordered the two to stay in the palace, but did not specify where to arrange them. The courtyard was originally for the convenience of the queen mother. If the matter was not done, how could the queen mother be happy to see the two of them sleeping in the same room?

When Feng Yuqi rushed into Qingfeng Courtyard, Su Changfeng had not yet woken up because he had not slept the whole night and was also affected by the drugs.

Su Yunxuan also tossed and turned all night and barely slept. She was sitting at the table, covering her face with worry, when she heard the palace maid shouting "This servant has seen King Hao." She was so scared that she dropped her hands and her body straightened.

When he raised his eyes and saw Feng Yuqi's figure, he was so flustered that he didn't even look at the expression on Feng Yuqi's face. He stood up and quickly closed the door.

When Feng Yuqi rushed over, Su Yunxuan's door was already closed.

Feng Yuqi was so angry that he slammed the door and shouted, "Open the door for me."

"No. If you have something to say, just say it and leave quickly." Su Yunxuan pressed the door tightly with her back.

"Open it." Feng Yuqi's voice became louder and more impatient, and the knocking on the door became more frequent and louder.

Su Yunxuan stopped talking, glanced around the room, walked over a few steps and moved a stool to prop up the door, took a look, and felt uneasy, so she grunted and piled all the stools against the door.

Feng Yuqi heard the noise and leaned over the door to look. When he couldn't see anything, he leaned over to listen. He was sure that Su Yunxuan was holding the door with furniture. He was so angry that he kicked the door and shouted, "I'm pulling the door, get out of the way."

"Just wait. I'll catch you..."

Su Yunxuan: “…” Seeing the stool trembled due to the vibration, she quickly looked at the round table again, hesitating whether to push the table over.

When the palace maids and eunuchs serving in Qingfeng Courtyard saw this scene, they were so frightened that they retreated far away.

The brave ones hid in remote places and huddled together to gossip, the cowardly ones hid away to protect themselves, and one person with a quick mind turned around and ran out of the yard.

Su Changfeng next door was finally awakened by the sound of heavy kicks on the door and angry voices. Hearing that it was Feng Yuqi, he quickly put on his clothes and left the room.

Seeing Feng Yuqi kicking Su Yunxuan's door, he walked over and asked sternly, "What is King Hao trying to do?"

Hearing his voice, Feng Yuqi stopped moving, turned around and glanced at him, then suddenly approached and punched him in the face.
