Heaven Scheme Palace

Chapters 21 - 21

After returning to the imperial capital, Ling Xuan Su and his group of three went up to greet Lv Wen Hao and Pei Sheng. They wanted to return to the Prince Yu's Mansion, but a handsome horse was galloping over, waiting for them to come closer, a man dressed as a guard jumped off the horse, and loudly reported to the Emperor: "Pass down Pei Sheng, Lv Wen Hao, Dan Qing Han, enter the palace immediately."

Hearing her name, Dan Qing Han quivered and stuck his head out from the carriage, only to see Pei Sheng and Lv Wen Hao looking at her in surprise.

This is bad, why didn't she think that Jiang Zi Hua had died, and it would definitely involve his, the leader of the people who filed the complaint against Jiang Zi Hua. What a shrewd person was Emperor today, she was completely unprepared for face saint, this sudden summons made her feel unsettled.

The most important thing was to exonerate Prince Chu from his guilt. If she misspoke and dragged the Prince Chu into the water, one could imagine how Lv Wen Hao would deal with the Tantai Clan in the future.

At this time, she was secretly complaining in her heart, why was Emperor looking at her like that, then looking at Pei Sheng and Lv Wen Hao who were walking in front of her, they were truly a jackal and a tiger, if the two of them wanted to protect their own bodies, what would happen if they placed all the blame on her?

Walking through the palace of the Jade Pavilion, he raised his head and saw three golden words "Hall of the Heavens". The two sides were heavily guarded and the guards showed their might without getting angry, a cold and stern depressing atmosphere assaulted his face.

In the center of the hall sat a man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. His temples had a slightly white hue and his expression was sharp like an eagle's. His pupils seemed to be able to see through people.

When he remembered that his real identity was Yao Dan Qing, he could not help but lower his head a little. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the with a serious expression on his face standing by the side.

"I heard that Jiang Zi Hua was assassinated on his way back to the capital. Did you find out who did it?" Emperor's voice was thick and filled with anger.

Returning to the Emperor, the assassin had come and gone without a trace, and although I have not found out who did it, I believe that Jiang Zi Hua's death will only benefit one person. Pei Sheng's voice was calm, but all the daggers were aimed at Lv Wen Hao: "Jiang Zi Hua calls for injustice, claims that he sent a hundred thousand silver to Prince Chu, and as a result, no officials dared to accept the case of Henan Province embezzling food and food."

Before Emperor could get angry, Prince Chu Xuan Yuan Yu had already kneeled on the ground and shouted loudly, "Royal Father is clear, everything was planted by Jiang Zi Hua. Even though he is a student of mine, I really did not know that he had done such heinous things in Henan Province.

Emperor stared at Prince Chu in silence, as if he was hesitating. After a while, he retracted his gaze, turned around, and asked Dan Qing Han who was kneeling on the floor without uttering a word: "You are Dan Qing Han, the person who brought ten thousand people of the Henan Province to sue Jiang Zi Hua?"

"Return to the Emperor, this humble girl is Jiangzhou's scoundrel, Dan Qing Han." She answered respectfully.

"Why did you and King Yu Ling Xuan Su appear in Henan Province?"

Dan Qing Han had long expected that Emperor would have such a question. She had thought it over carefully in her heart, then answered as if it was nothing special, "Crown Prince, on the orders of Prince Chu, sent a message to Lord Lu with the request of him to thoroughly investigate the case of Jiang Zi Hua's corruption. As a result, this commoner and this Crown Prince went to Henan Province together, with the support of Lord Lu, and gathered the signatures of tens of thousands of citizens to sue Jiang Zi Hua."

Hearing this, Emperor raised his eyebrow, "Oh? Looks like Prince Chu was aware of Jiang Zi Hua's corruption? "

Dan Qing Han replied, "Yes."

None of the people present spoke. The atmosphere was solemn and cold.

"Then I am quite curious, why would Prince Yu's Mansion leave such an important matter to Ling Xuan Su, since he does not have a deep friendship with Prince Chu?"

A few months ago, Prince Chu and Lord Lu went to Prince Yu's Mansion to ask for Ling An Lan's hand in marriage. "

Emperor's face revealed a look of surprise, he asked: "Yu'er, is this true?"

Xuan Yuan Yu immediately replied: "It is true, this son originally wanted to obtain King Yu's permission to report to royal father, I am indeed fond of Ling An Lan, I hope royal father can grant my wish."

"Good, good, good!" Emperor said three words of "good" consecutively, but there was no joy on his face. He only looked at him gloomily, and said with a solemn face: "Since you are no longer young, and should get married, then I will point out this marriage for you, Zheng Si," With that, he turned his head to the eunuch beside him and instructed, "Pass on my orders, King Yu's daughter, Ling An Lan, respectfully and demurred, will be conferred the title of Prince Chu's Consort, and will be chosen as your wedding on this auspicious day."

"Thank you, Imperial Father." Xuan Yuan Yu slowly prostrated himself on the ground, her tone full of joy, but there was no happiness in her eyes.

Dan Qing Han was startled, although the assistant minister of the Department of Revenue was also at the third rank like Ci Shi, although he was not promoted to official, he was transferred into the imperial court as a official, furthermore, the Ministry of Revenue was too fat, she immediately expressed her gratitude: "This humble one thanks Emperor for his grace on behalf of my father."

The order for Ling An Lan to be conferred as Prince Chu's Consort quickly arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion. Although King Yu didn't know why Emperor suddenly bestowed the marriage on him, he was still overjoyed.

The news of Dan Lin filling the position of Assistant Minister of Revenue quickly spread to the Jiangzhou. The entire residence was filled with excitement, Dan Lin who was originally at Pei Sheng's residence also rushed back to the Jiangzhou, preparing to take care of everything, so he could come to the capital to take up his position in the future.

On the other hand, Lv Wen Hao and Dan Qing Han did not separate at all when they left the palace, and Lv Wen Hao ordered the carriage to send her back to Prince Yu's Mansion.

"Have you planned this long ago?" Lv Wen Hao suddenly asked.

Dan Qing Han was stumped by these random words, "What are you planning to do?"

Lv Wen Hao said coldly: "The matter of Prince Chu marrying Ling An Lan as his wangfei."

"Emperor is shrewd, so this is the only way to resolve the situation, isn't it great to rejoice now?" Dan Qing Han smiled lightly, speaking innocently.

"You're very smart." Lv Wen Hao praised in an indifferent tone.

"I'm flattered, but I'm just a little smart." Dan Qing Han was not modest.

Lv Wen Hao withdrew his solemn face and slowly chuckled: "It's fortunate that a woman is smart, but it's also a disaster. Since the alliance with the Prince Yu's Mansion has already been decided, I hope that we can cooperate well in the future. "

"I hope so too." However, her goal was not to help Prince Chu to ascend to the throne. Her goal was to investigate the matter regarding the Yao Family's clan extermination, and start by investigating from the Prince Chu.

Very quickly, the carriage arrived outside the Prince Yu's Mansion. Dan Qing Han jumped off the carriage, and without looking back, she entered the Duke Palaces, and coincidentally met Dan Qing Wu who was bounding towards her. She did not even have time to stand steadily before she held onto Dan Qing Han's hands tightly, and spoke emotionally: "Qing Han, Father is coming to the imperial capital to take over the job."

"I know." Dan Qing Han looked at Dan Qing Wu who had a face full of joy, and couldn't help but hold her hand.

"I heard that it was because of your meritorious service in Henan Province that the Emperor gave his father the position of Assistant Minister of Revenue. You are truly the lucky star of our Tantai Clan." Dan Qing Wu's attitude towards her had changed greatly from before.

"Sister, you seem to be overjoyed, aren't you?"

"Since father has come to the imperial city to take on a post, then I have an even greater chance of becoming a Crown Princess." Dan Qing Wu revealed her thoughts without any hesitation.

Dan Qing Han understood, even though she could not bear to pour cold water on her, she still said straightforwardly: "I feel that you and Crown Prince are not compatible, and that he is not as good as the one you saw on the surface. Actually, he is …" As she said till here, she didn't know how to describe Ling Xuan Su, but she felt that Dan Qing Wu's personality was simple and that if he married him, he would only suffer a loss.

Hearing that, Dan Qing Wu released her hand and coldly said: "Honestly, do you like Crown Prince? This time when we went to Henan Province to get along with Zhao Xi, something must have happened! "

"Elder sister, you are overthinking it. Crown Prince and I are only friends."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you like him. When I become the Crown Princess, even if I accept you as my secondary wife, it wouldn't be a big deal. The most important thing is that we sisters link our hearts together, firmly grasping the heart of the Crown Prince. "

Hearing that, Dan Qing Han's face was covered in black lines, this Dan Qing Wu started again. She suddenly covered her stomach and shouted: "Aiyo, sister, my stomach isn't feeling well, let's go to the washroom!"
