Chapter 230 Empress Yunze
After a while, Qin Wanyue came in.
She bowed to the Emperor and the Crown Prince.
Qin Wanyue felt uneasy, wondering why the Emperor had summoned a woman like her to the palace.
Seeing that her father and Leng Chenyuan were both there, she was even more confused about what was going on.
The Emperor said to Qin Wanyue, "Qin Wanyue, are you willing to marry Leng Chenyuan?"
Qin Wanyue was stunned for a moment.
What? You came to the palace just to ask this?
How did we end up talking about this?
She quickly replied, "This humble woman is willing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yezhong's eyes dimmed. It seemed that his daughter would indeed be far away from him in the future.
Wan Yue knew about Leng Chenyuan and that he would become the ruler of Yunze Kingdom, so Wan Yue should be prepared to marry far away.
He knew that once Wan Yue made up her mind, nothing could change it.
"Very well! She is indeed true to her nature, worthy of being the daughter of the Marquis of Dingbei! Then I will bestow a marriage upon you!" the Emperor said.
Qin Wanyue and Leng Chenyuan exchanged a smile, both of them excited, and knelt down in unison to express their gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The crown prince smiled as well.
Ninth Brother and Gu Yiwen got engaged, and Leng Chenyuan and Qin Wanyue were also betrothed.
When will things get settled between him and Qin Wanying?
The Emperor then said to Leng Chenyuan, "I hope you will carefully consider what I told you before."
Leng Chenyuan replied, "This humble subject will certainly consider it seriously."
Today, he did indeed have the idea of going back to fight for the throne, because he didn't want Yun Zemin to suffer.
However, you should ask Wan Yue about this.
Wan Yue is his future wife, and he will definitely need to ask for her opinion.
Qin Yezhong took the two children back home.
As they left the palace, Qin Wanyue and Leng Chenyuan exchanged glances, but Qin Yezhong kept coughing, which made them restrain themselves somewhat.
Back at the Marquis's residence, the two walked to the fishpond and watched the koi swimming in it.
Leng Chenyuan said to Qin Wanyue, "His Majesty intends for me to return to Yunze to compete for the throne."
When the weather gets cold, his breath will appear in the air when he speaks.
Qin Wanyue replied, "What do you think?"
Leng Chenyuan's expression was serious: "My second brother used young boys and girls as sacrifices, which is intolerable to Heaven. If he continues to be the emperor, I'm afraid the people of Yunze will live in misery."
Qin Wanyue nodded. Leng Chenyuan was still a person who cared about the common people, which made Qin Wanyue think more highly of him.
"Wan Yue, what do you think?" Leng Chenyuan asked.
Qin Wanyue said, "Personally, I want you to stay and keep me company at the Marquis's residence."
She was born and raised in Dayao. Even after she got married, she didn't live too far from the Marquis's residence. Who would want to leave their hometown?
However, he was destined to have a mission to complete.
"For the public good, I want you to return to Yunze."
"Firstly, as you said, it is for the sake of the people of Yunze."
"Secondly, it is also for the sake of the country and its people of my Great Yao."
Leng Chenyuan was slightly surprised. For the sake of the Great Yao's empire?
"You mean for the sake of peace on the border between Yunze and Dayao?" Leng Chenyuan asked.
"Not only that. The eldest prince, Xiao Dongqian, intends to rebel. If he succeeds, the entire Dingbei Marquis's family will be executed."
Leng Chenyuan's expression was solemn.
He knew something about Emperor Yao's political affairs. This was indeed a possibility.
However, Wan Yue spoke with such certainty, as if she was certain that this would happen.
"Why are you so sure?"
"Wanying calculated it," Qin Wanyue replied.
Leng Chenyuan nodded.
"If you become the ruler of Yunze, and if Xiao Dongqian rebels, I hope you will send troops to help me, protect my Great Yao kingdom, and safeguard my family." Qin Wanyue looked at him, a pleading look in her eyes.
Leng Chenyuan looked at Qin Wanyue. The Dingbei Marquis's Mansion had been kind to him, and Wanyue was the love of his life.
If a treacherous minister were to rebel and harm the Marquis of Dingbei's mansion, he would certainly not stand idly by.
"Wan Yue, once I've recovered from my injuries, I'll go to my uncle's place and send troops to reclaim the throne."
"When the time comes, I will welcome you into the palace with the honors due to an empress." Leng Chenyuan looked at Qin Wanyue with a firm gaze.
Several days later, Leng Chenyuan led his troops and captured Yunze capital.
The people were suffering terribly under the emperor's tyranny, but now the missing third prince has reappeared and seized power.
The third prince was known for his kindness and had a good reputation among the people. His capture of the capital and the capture of the late emperor were a great relief to the people.
Of course, the reason they were able to capture the city so quickly was twofold: firstly, Leng Chenyuan was able to mobilize his uncle's army, and secondly, Emperor Dayao secretly provided a great deal of support.
Leng Chenyuan sat high on the throne, looking down at his second brother, who was kneeling on the ground below the steps covered with a black brocade carpet. His hair was disheveled, his face was covered in dirt, and he was covered in wounds.
"You've won," the Second Prince said calmly.
Leng Chenyuan stared at him indifferently, his eyes showing neither sorrow nor joy.
The man who had once abused him was now a prisoner, kneeling before him. However, he felt no satisfaction at having avenged himself; his expression remained indifferent.
“You did not lose to me; you have become an enemy of the common people, and you are only asking for your own destruction.”
The second prince lowered his eyes.
He knew he had lost.
The extravagance and revelry of those days after his ascension to the throne still seem like yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, everything has vanished.
The second prince was executed, and Yunze was pacified.
Yunze naturally allied with Emperor Yao, after all, Emperor Yao had helped him ascend the throne.
Leng Chenyuan sent lavish gifts to Da Yao, wanting Qin Wanyue to be his empress.
When the betrothal gifts were delivered to the Marquis of Dingbei's residence, it was as if the whole city wanted to come and watch.
Most people have never witnessed the spectacle of a ten-mile-long procession of red bridal procession during a marriage proposal.
Huang Yao was passing by the gate of the Marquis of Dingbei's residence with her child.
After asking around for a long time, I finally learned that Qin Wanyue was getting married and would become the queen of Yunze Kingdom.
Huang Yao was deeply shocked.
At that time, she stole Qin Wanyue's husband's favor. Although Qin Wanyue's status was higher than hers, she always secretly competed with Qin Wanyue, feeling that she was better and more charming than Qin Wanyue.
Although her affair was exposed and caused considerable damage to her reputation, Qin Wanyue still got a divorce, didn't she?
She felt that a divorced woman could no longer find a suitable match, and it would be better to find a live-in son-in-law.
But now, the king of Yunze has actually sent betrothal gifts, asking to marry her as his queen!
This is a privilege reserved for princesses!
What merit or ability did Qin Wanyue possess to become the Empress, second only to the Emperor?
On the other hand, she was raising her child alone, and people pointed fingers at her. Yan Yuelan didn't treat her well either, and she was even struggling to make ends meet.
Her face looked very ugly.
Passersby exclaimed, "Who would have thought that Qin Wanyue from the Marquis of Dingbei's mansion, who married a heartless man before, would become the Empress of Yunze after the divorce!"
"Yes, I don't know what Pan Chengyun was thinking. He abandoned his beautiful daughter, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Dingbei, and insisted on having an affair outside. That mistress, tsk tsk, is no match for Qin Wanyue."
"Absolutely! That mistress is a shameless vixen; she even had a child with her ex-husband!"
