1646 Marriage Alliance 1
Sword One, Sword Two, Sword Three and Sword Four were all working for Shadow Door, and they were very efficient. Gu Chaoyan had just told Sword One to spread the news, yet the news about Lord Huai was all over the capital, and some other places next to the capital, including Bingzhou.
People knew that Lord Huai was the lineal son of the Queen, and he was adored by the King in the past, but he was disgraced after the Queen passed away.
Lord Huai used to have bad rumors about himself, for having a bad personality. However… the rumors were only rumors, and none of the civilians were ever bullied by Lord Huai. On the other hand, some officers in the capital treated civilians terribly, so the civilians felt sorry for Lord Huai.
Also… Lord Huai was born by the Queen who had done many things for the civilians. She was kind and virtuous, and in people’s heart, she was the real Queen.
Not to mention that the Queen was the daughter of the Jiang Family, which had had a General, who fought hard on the battlefield and brought them a life of peace.
!!
That was why when Lord Huai was treated like this by the imperial family, people could not help but defend him and complain about the King.
That was how the rumor was spread.
Soon everyone from the court learned about this.
Hearing that, the King got so angry that he smashed the whole Qianqing Palace.
The Imperial family’s affairs were private, and the King would never allow any commoners to complain about his own affairs.
In the past… he never expected that things would become like this, thus giving the order to ground Lord Huai, but he forgot about pointing out Lord Huai’s mistakes before grounding him, so the whole thing was very difficult to overturn now.
“Bring the Crown Prince here!” the King said furiously.
De Fu hurried off in panic.
Ouyang Mingjing, who was residing in the court, learned about this too.
Ouyang Mingjing smiled when he heard about the news of the Phoenix Girl. “Tell me in detail! So the Phoenix Girl forced herself out to meet Lord Huai against the King’s order, and she even interrogated the imperial soldiers? She said that she wanted to see him because they were engaged?”
Ouyang Mingjing repeated the details to himself, after hearing the recount from his men.
The guard nodded at what he had heard.
Ouyang Mingjing was smiling on the surface, but felt quite displeased within, after hearing the story and repeating it to himself.
“The Phoenix Girl doesn’t know about the marriage alliance. So let’s go to her mansion and talk to her about this. She is the Phoenix Girl so she should know what she ought to do. The marriage alliance with me came before Lord Huai, so he is going to be out of the game..” Ouyang Mingjing said quietly.
The guards nodded in agreement.
It was the eunuch who led the way.
Ouyang Mingjing said nothing on the way there.
They soon arrived at Xinlin Mansion.
