Chapter 111 My best friend and I have become a family!
Soon, the news that the Ye family had changed their marriage partner spread throughout the entire Kyoto city.

Upon hearing the news, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked!

The second prince’s residence.

Upon hearing the news, Li Chengze’s face turned gloomy.

“What on earth does father mean by this? He actually cancelled the marriage between me and the Ye family and instead made the only daughter of the Ye family the concubine of the third son.”

“Can Ye Zhong agree to this?”

Li Chengze’s roar echoed in the house.

He never expected that when he woke up, his wife was gone.

Although he has no feelings for Ye Ling’er, the entire Ye family is behind her. As long as he can get Ye Ling’er’s approval, he can get Ye Liuyun’s support.

With the support of the Grand Master behind him, he could definitely compete with the Crown Prince, and might even be able to compete with Li Chengping.

Now there is nothing.

“Your Highness, haven’t you always wanted to withdraw from the competition? This might not be a bad thing.”

Xie Bian’s eyes lit up.

“If it were in the past, this would indeed be a good thing, but things are different now. I can no longer step down from that position.”

Li Chengze had a gloomy face.

If he had been in a marriage alliance with the Ye family before, he would not have to worry about the prince’s revenge if he withdrew from the competition.

But now without the Ye family’s deterrence, the prince will definitely not let him go.

After all, the two have been fighting for so many years, and the hatred between them cannot be eliminated by just quitting.

“No, I need to go to the palace and ask him to change his mind before the emperor announces his decree!”

Li Chengze didn’t have time to think about it, he changed his clothes and went straight to the palace.

at the same time.

Inside Guangxin Palace.

Li Chengqian, who had just been released from house arrest, immediately ran to Guangxin Palace to be intimate with Li Yunrui.

Afterwards, he lay on the bed, feeling his aunt’s skin as smooth as jade, and felt extremely satisfied.

“Your Highness, the news has just come out from the palace that His Majesty intends to cancel the marriage between the Ye family and the Second Prince and is preparing to marry Ye Ling’er to the Third Prince as a concubine.”

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the curtain.

Li Yunrui was startled and quickly got up from the bed, just putting on a light gauze and hurriedly got out of bed.

He stared at the palace maid who came to deliver the message, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

“Are you sure what you just said is true? Your Majesty really intends to do this?”

“In reply to the Princess, every word I said is true. I heard that His Majesty has already had someone draft an imperial edict and is waiting to announce the news at the court tomorrow morning.”

Li Yunrui fell silent for a moment.

She never expected that things would turn out like this. She had originally planned to let Ye Liuyun assassinate Li Chengping, but not only did she fail to kill him, she also had to marry him.

“What on earth is Ye Liuyun doing?” Li Yunrui said with a gloomy face.

She thought she had everything under control, but she never expected that things would go completely off track.

She had already paid a huge price to get Ye Liuyun to assassinate Li Chengping.

Although she didn’t know why she failed, she no longer had the ability to ask the other party to carry out a second assassination.

After all, Ye Liuyun is a grandmaster. If he angers him, the consequences will be disastrous.

After all, she still remembered vividly how Si Gu Jian sneaked into the palace to assassinate her. Now if Ye Liuyun was really angry and came into the palace to assassinate her, she would have no one to protect her.

Wouldn’t that be a disastrous outcome!

“Aunt, do you think the Ye family is sick? They don’t want to be a princess, but they want to be the concubine of the third son.”

Li Chengqian put on his clothes and came out.

Obviously, he hasn’t realized the seriousness of the problem.

Li Yunrui turned around, put on his clothes with the help of the palace maid, and glanced at Li Chengqian lightly.

“You know what? For something as important as a marriage, they would only agree after Ye Liuyun asked them to do so.”

“Your Majesty will never regret an engagement without a reason. The Ye family must have Ye Liuyun’s support behind this.” “Now the third brother has not only the support of the Lin family, but also the Ye family. Your position as the crown prince is in jeopardy!”

……

Prime Minister’s Mansion.

Looking at the information in his hand, Lin Ruofu glanced at Yuan Hongdao with slight suspicion.

“Old Yuan, are you sure this news came from the palace?”

“Prime Minister, the news is indeed true. According to the eunuchs in the palace, His Majesty has already drafted the imperial edict and will announce the news at the court tomorrow morning.”

The imperial edict has come out, and Your Majesty is acting so quickly?!
Lin Ruofu frowned.

He suspected that Emperor Qing’s move was to push Li Chengping into the game, but the price was a bit too high.

The dual support from the Prime Minister’s Mansion and the Ye family undoubtedly represents the power of civil and military officials in the court.

Although Qin Ye is a big shot in the military, he still has to give in to the Ye family.

After all, with the great master Ye Liuyun around, any minister would have to say hello when they see the Ye family.

It’s a pity that the Ye family has never had the intention to fight for power, otherwise Ye Chong would never be in his current position.

Now that things have come to this, there is nothing more to say.

But he was a little worried whether Lin Wan’er could accept it. Emperor Qing suddenly arranged a concubine for her, and she was her best friend.

……

In the Royal Villa, Lin Wan’er and Ye Ling’er were sitting in the courtyard chatting.

Both of them are the type who stay at home, and while the outside world is in an uproar over the marriage arrangement, they have no idea.

At this time, a maid came hurriedly.

“Princess, there is news in the palace that is related to the Third Prince, but…”

Having said this, the maid subconsciously glanced at Ye Ling’er.

“Just tell me what you want to say. Ling’er and I are like sisters. There’s no need to hide anything.”

Lin Wan’er didn’t care.

The maid lowered her head and said, “Princess, this matter is very serious. How about we have a word?”

“Just say what you’re told to say. Why are you talking so much nonsense?”

A layer of frost appeared on Lin Wan’er’s pretty face.

This maid is usually quite clever, why is she so slow today?

The maid shuddered with fear and quickly knelt down.

“My Lady, I just received news from the palace that His Majesty has issued an order to cancel the marriage between Miss Ling’er and the Second Prince.”

“This is a good thing! Ling’er, you have always disliked the Second Prince, but now you finally don’t have to marry him!”

Lin Wan’er was happy for her best friend from the bottom of her heart.

Upon hearing the news, Ye Ling’er was stunned, but after she came to her senses, she couldn’t hide the joy on her face.

“Okay, I was wrong about you just now. Get up and go to the accountant to get fifty taels of silver as compensation.”

Lin Wan’er waved her hand generously.

The maid didn’t dare to say anything and just knelt on the ground.

“My Lord, His Majesty also said that he wants Miss Ling’er to be betrothed to the Third Prince as a concubine.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into silence.

The smiles on Lin Wan’er and Ye Ling’er’s faces froze at the same time.

After being stunned for more than ten seconds, Ye Ling’er finally came to her senses.

“How can this be possible? I will go to the palace immediately and ask His Majesty to withdraw his order!”

As she said that, she stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lin Wan’er.

“Ling’er, don’t go. His Majesty’s decree will never be easily changed. It would be a waste of time if you go.”
