"Why is Tang Yushi's health so bad?"

"I'm afraid I've done too many bad things."

The generals were all talking and commenting on Tang Yushi from time to time.

It was Pei Anlin who coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and carry the Tang Yushi down and let the imperial doctor take a look at him."

The military generals lifted Tang Yushi up, looking at their posture, they looked like they were lifting a pig.

Mr. Xu's eyes twitched violently, he hesitated for a moment, and finally turned his gaze elsewhere. He was worried that if he continued to look at it, his power would be broken.

The Tang Yushi left, and most of the remaining civil servants were pale and did not dare to say much.

They all thought that Tang Yushi's fainting was caused by Pei Anlin, and they wished they could stay away from Pei Anlin.

The current situation in the court is very clear. His Highness only trusts the Pei family and cannot tolerate others. The Pei family is accustomed to retreat in order to advance. On the surface, they want to return the Tiger Talisman to His Highness, but in fact, it will make His Highness trust them more.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Pei Anlin with more vigilance.

When Pei Anlin turned around, he was met with either wary or accusatory eyes. The others froze on the spot and scratched their heads.

Why are you looking at him like this?Could it be that he didn't save Tang Yushi in time enough just now?

Pei Anlin was pondering this matter in his mind, and Xie Yan, who was above him, spoke: "I don't need you to worry about my private affairs."

Some ministers who had other thoughts in their hearts trembled visibly a few times.

Even Mr. Xu's eyes dimmed a lot after hearing these words.

After resigning from the court, Mr. Xu felt uncomfortable. He went to Huang Shangshu and muttered: "Why is Your Highness so stubborn? Although the Lord of Changning County is a powerful person, how can this harem..."

Halfway through the words, under the gaze of Huang Shangshu, Mr. Xu swallowed back the words that came to his lips. He looked around vigilantly: "There is no one there either!"

Since no one is eavesdropping, why does Huang Shangshu have this expression?

Huang Shangshu met his uneasy eyes and sneered: "Brother Xu! You really didn't use your intelligence in the right place!"

"Why did Brother Huang say this?" Mr. Xu asked in confusion, "Ordinary families have three wives and four concubines, why can't Your Highness? Even the Pei family will definitely not dare to interfere with His Highness's harem!"

Hearing this, Huang Shangshu smiled and shook his head: "Have you forgotten the rules of the Pei family?"

"The rules of the Pei family..." Mr. Xu thought carefully in his heart, but he was still puzzled. "What happened to the rules of the Pei family? Is it possible that it can exceed the emperor's order?"

Huang Shangshu patted him on the shoulder and said: "The rules of the Pei family are - no concubines!"

"Whether you are marrying a daughter of the Pei family or a wife of the Pei family, you are not allowed to take concubines!" Huang Shangshu said seriously, "Why do you think the Pei family is willing to marry Princess Changning to His Highness?"

Master Xu was stunned on the spot, but he did not want to believe the facts. He stared at Huang Shangshu with trembling lips, "This is impossible... The reason why the Pei family helped His Highness was not because they already knew His Highness's identity? How could they? Are you unwilling to marry the princess to His Highness?"

"If it were us, it would be possible, but the Pei family..." Huang Shangshu sighed, "Have you forgotten? The Pei family has the eldest princess in charge."

"How can the eldest princess be the one who covets the position of queen and sends her most beloved granddaughter to suffer in the harem?" Huang Shangshu said, "For us, if the daughter of the family enters the harem, it will be a disservice to the family. It is beneficial, but for the Pei family, having their daughter in the palace will arouse more suspicion."

"Why are you, the eldest princess, willing to let the princess enter the palace as your queen?" Mr. Huang sighed and shook his head, "Brother Xu, your thinking is still too simple."

It took Master Xu a long time to regain his consciousness. His eyes were wandering, and he subconsciously drifted towards Huang Shangshu: "But Your Highness can't do this..."

"We have been calculating over and over again, calculating the interests of this party and the interests of that party, but we have never thought... His Highness may really want to marry the princess." Huang Shangshu stroked his beard meaningfully and lowered his voice, "You Have you ever seen His Highness and the Princess getting along?"

"I have seen it. His Highness obeys the princess's words. No matter what the princess says, His Highness will only agree. If you have seen it, you will understand."

Huang Shangshu's words made Mr. Xu fall into silence.

He looked at Huang Shangshu steadily: "Is this true?"

"If you had seen it with your own eyes, you would never doubt what I said." Huang Shangshu patted his shoulder, "Even if there are calculations between aristocratic families, even if the people in the royal family are cold-hearted, there are always exceptions in everything."

Huang Shangshu sighed again when he thought that he had gone out with his wife and daughter and saw Gu Ning and Xie Yan in the jewelry shop.

Even though he felt that he and his wife were a rare loving couple, in front of Gu Ning and Xie Yan, their so-called love was still slightly inferior.

Their union was never based on true love.

After listening to Huang Shangshu's words, Mr. Xu couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Let's go!" Huang Shangshu pushed Mr. Xu's shoulder, "If we stay longer, I'm afraid the courtiers will start talking about it!"

Hearing this, Mr. Xu nodded, but his heart was racing and he couldn't calm down no matter what.

Until he separated from Huang Shangshu at the gate of the imperial city and got on the carriage back home, his anxious heart suddenly sank.

"Sir, here we are."

The carriage stopped steadily at Xu's house.

Mr. Xu came to his senses and stepped out of the carriage with the help of the boy.

He thought about what Huang Shangshu said today, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he subconsciously turned around and arrived in a courtyard.

"Father?"

Xu Feiyao looked at Mr. Xu who was standing at the entrance of the courtyard with complicated eyes, full of doubts in her heart.

Hearing this, Mr. Xu came back to his senses. He strode up to Xu Feiyao, squeezed Xu Feiyao's shoulders with both hands, and wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh.

Seeing him like this, Xu Feiyao was puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"

"As a father..." Mr. Xu sighed, "As a father, I'm sorry for you!"

"Feiyao, I'm afraid I will disappoint you about entering the palace." After Master Xu said this, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Xu Feiyao again.

It was precisely because he knew Xu Feiyao's thoughts that he tried his best to send Xu Feiyao into the palace. However, what Huang Shangshu said today completely made him lose confidence.

Feelings can always be cultivated, but if His Highness already has someone in his heart, and that person is far beyond the reach of others, what chance does his daughter have?

When Mr. Xu thought of this, the guilt in his heart almost overwhelmed him.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xu Feiyao shook her head vigorously: "Father! I will not enter the palace!"

Hearing this, Mr. Xu felt even more guilty: "It's because I am incompetent as a father, but if I offend His Highness by entering the palace for you...then our Xu family may be in trouble..."

"It's all because my father can't forgive you."

"Father, you are not sorry for me!"

Xu Feiyao said in a very firm voice when Master Xu was feeling guilty.

"I don't want to enter the palace myself!"

"I saw it all yesterday!"

Xu Feiyao shouted loudly, causing Mr. Xu to swallow back the words that came to his lips. He glanced at Xu Feiyao, puzzled: "What did you see yesterday?"

"Yesterday I saw Your Highness coming to our house." Xu Feiyao lowered her head and whispered, "He came to see the princess."

After hearing this, Mr. Xu was stunned: "Your Highness came to our house? Why didn't I know?"

"Of course you don't know." Xu Feiyao sighed softly, "Your Highness came here in private, just to see the princess."

Master Xu couldn't believe what he heard.

"Come to see the princess?"

Xu Feiyao nodded vigorously: "My daughter can see clearly that Your Highness is here just to see the princess."

Mr. Xu took a few steps back and leaned against the wall. Only then did he finally realize: "No wonder...no wonder!"

He sighed, with a wry smile on his face: "No wonder he said in the court today... that he would abolish the harem and there will only be one queen from now on."

Hearing this, Xu Feiyao was very surprised.

However, as soon as she thought about the way Gu Ning and Xie Yan got along that day, she felt that everything was falling into place again.

She lowered her head, not with jealousy, but with deep envy: "My daughter saw the way His Highness looked at the princess yesterday... It's not surprising that he would say such a thing."

"You haven't seen it. The two of them are standing together, like...like a couple of gods."

After Xu Feiyao spoke, Mr. Xu lost his initial worries.

However, he still couldn't bear it. He looked at Xu Feiyao and said, "Feiyao, don't worry, my father will definitely find a good husband for you!"

Xu Feiyao opened her mouth and was about to speak, but Master Xu had already turned around and left.

In desperation, Xu Feiyao could only sigh.

The maid next to her quickly walked to Xu Feiyao: "Miss, could it be that the master has scolded you again?"

In the past, the father and daughter had many arguments over Xu Feiyao's marriage.

"It's not a scolding this time." Xu Feiyao showed a wry smile, "It's just... I haven't finished speaking yet."

She wanted to tell Mr. Xu that like the princess, she also wanted to find someone who truly loved her and spend the rest of her life together.

However, looking at Master Xu's back as he left in a hurry, she knew that she still had a long way to go before reaching this goal.

Thinking of this, Xu Feiyao shook his head: "That's it, let's go back first."

There's always a chance to bring it up again.

Seeing the wry smile on Xu Feiyao's lips, the maid was extremely worried: "Are you still worried about what happened yesterday? From what I can see, His Highness may not be sincere towards the princess..."

"Be careful what you say!" Xu Feiyao scolded the maid sternly, "Don't mention this matter a word from now on!"

"How can we comment on the matter between His Highness and the princess?"

"Yes." The maid agreed humbly.
