Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream
Chapter 157 Speculation
Wei Bingyan had just sat down and hadn't opened her mouth to state her purpose when the old man said slowly, "I know what you want to ask. I haven't told you because I feel it's unnecessary. The person who gave the prince such an idea was not your father. No matter how stupid your father is, he definitely doesn't have the guts to let you become a concubine."
"What does Your Majesty think?" Wei Bingyan asked. She would not beat around the bush when talking to the old man. In a family like this, apart from her mother, the old man was the only one who would truly care about her.
Mentioning His Majesty directly, Old Master Wei lowered his eyes to the cup in his hand, his eyes fixed on the Yulongquan Mountain tea leaves that were constantly turning and depositing in the cup, as if he was thinking carefully about how to explain His Majesty's intentions to his lovely granddaughter.
Wei Bingyan looked at the old man, holding the cup with both hands but not sipping the tea. She whispered out all her deepest thoughts, "Lord Li and his father dealt with the prince, and handed all the solid evidence of the prince's corruption in the past few years to your majesty, and there are many evil deeds that are known to the ministers and people of the world, which made your majesty helpless against the prince and revealed the idea of changing the East Palace.
The Fourth Prince saw the opportunity and not only won over the ministers in the court, but the Linghu family also secretly created public opinion for him, hoping to force Your Majesty to speed up the decision to deal with the Crown Prince to a certain extent. Your Majesty..."
"The fact that the father and son of the Li family are dealing with the crown prince at this time must be the silent consent of your majesty." Wei Bingyan looked at Old Master Wei with bright eyes, "The Li family's supreme power is almost against the will of heaven. If we don't suppress the crown prince with all our strength at this time, even the Linghu family may not be able to suppress the Li family.
While dealing with the crown prince, Li Yuyan also clipped the crown prince's wings, but why did Your Majesty protect my father? You, Grandpa, should understand this better than anyone else, because Your Majesty and you both know that it was you and Your Majesty's idea that my father attached himself to the crown prince, and you never mentioned it to my father.
Even if he gives advice to the prince, it will make the prince weaken his own abilities. You let father feel that the Wei family is really doing things for the prince, but you never told him how to do it..."
"The prince didn't know that his father was trying to deal with him. He thought that he could maintain his position as the prince only by marrying into the Wei family. So he asked His Majesty for permission to marry me as his concubine." Wei Bingyan smiled slightly. "Your Majesty is afraid of the power of the Li family. How could he allow me to be betrothed to the prince? Are you really going to force the Wei family to do everything they can to support the prince?"
Old Master Wei listened silently, glanced at Wei Bingyan with his wise eyes, and said with concentration: "Continue!"
"The Crown Prince wants to marry me, and the people in the Fourth Prince's side will definitely not stand idly by. Your Majesty has not expressed his attitude, so there must be other reasons. Grandpa, I just can't figure out such a reason." Wei Bingyan said.
"Anyone's thoughts can be guessed and used in this world, but what the emperor is thinking is not something we can imagine. The crown prince thinks that as long as the forces behind him are strong enough, His Majesty will not dare to do anything to an emperor like him. He is wrong, the fourth prince is wrong, and your father is wrong, but your father's mistake is silently acknowledged by His Majesty."
Old Master Wei concentrated and said, "No matter which emperor it is, he will not accept that others can suppress him."
If Wei Zhong had not supported the crown prince, it would have been difficult for the crown prince and the Li family to confront the Linghu family.
Wei Bingyan asked, "Did you really never remind your father?"
With Wei Zhong's ability, it is impossible for him to help a prince who is feared by His Majesty to sit on the throne of the crown prince. If it weren't for the old master behind him, Wei Zhong would have died long ago.
"I am his father, but I am also a subordinate, and there are many things I cannot control." The old man's words revealed his helplessness in recent years. His eldest son did things in a weird and immoral way, and he could not say anything. His second son was always pursuing prostitutes, and there was no news about his youngest son until now.
What he can do is to use his loyalty to help His Majesty accomplish his grand ambitions.
"Your Majesty is the father of the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince, but he is afraid of the forces behind these two men, so he is always thinking about wiping out these two forces that threaten the imperial family. Grandpa, what does Your Majesty want to do now?" Wei Bingyan was afraid that she had made a wrong judgment, so she asked Old Master Wei carefully.
Old Master Wei tilted his neck and looked deeply at Wei Bingyan. "Last time, the old man from the Song family came to me and wanted to actively act as a matchmaker for the Sixth Prince. What do you think?"
"Sixth...Sixth Prince?" Wei Bingyan's eyes widened, and she was doubtful in her heart, "When did Lord Song become interested in being a matchmaker?"
"What he meant was the Empress Dowager's intention. As for what the Empress Dowager meant, I don't quite understand it either." said Old Master Wei.
"What on earth does this mean?" Wei Bingyan immediately felt that her brain was not enough. "Why did the uncle and the queen dowager suddenly have such thoughts about me?"
Old Master Wei sighed, "I have firmly refused. It is not easy to be a daughter-in-law of the royal family. But I am worried that the Crown Prince's request this time will make His Majesty directly grant a marriage between you and the Sixth Prince."
"Grandpa!" Wei Bingyan's face turned pale. Although being the prince's concubine was different from being betrothed to the Sixth Prince, she had never thought that one day she would become one of the concubines in the harem. She didn't want to repeat the days of scheming against others and being slandered.
"Bingyan, if your mother gives birth to a legitimate child of the Wei family, you must find a way to get your father out of the court as soon as possible. No matter what method you use, it will be better if you can leave the capital as soon as possible." Old Master Wei's voice seemed to have become much more mature in an instant, and his hoarse and dark voice contained too much helplessness. "I will decide to betroth you to Li Yuyan and let him help you..."
Wei Bingyan looked at Old Master Wei with indifference for a long time before she opened her mouth stubbornly, "I don't want it!"
"What don't you want? You don't want your father to leave the court, or you don't want to be betrothed to Li Yuyan?" asked the old man.
"Why should I marry Li Yuyan?" Wei Bingyan asked in a bad tone, "Besides, my father wouldn't allow it."
The old man smiled and said, "I can still decide your marriage."
"Generally speaking, I am not destined to marry him." After all, she was talking about her own marriage, and Wei Bingyan couldn't help blushing.
"Do you want to marry you to the Sixth Prince?" the old man snorted.
……
In another part of the Wei family, a maid dressed in orange quickly walked into the room and bowed to Aunt Qiu, who was sitting on the warm kang by the window. "Aunt, Madam has accepted the fragrant dew."
Aunt Qiu's expression slightly moved, and a hint of coldness flashed across her calm eyes, "You accepted it?"
"Aunt, the young lady is familiar with medical skills. Can you see what's wrong?" Yan Hong asked in a soft voice.
"Isn't it just a bottle of perfume? What's wrong with it?" Aunt Qiu smiled, and the gentle and steady smile on Xiao's face when she gently stroked her belly appeared inadvertently in her mind.
Seeing Xiao's unhappy look, she felt relieved deep in her heart. Why did Xiao get pregnant? Wasn't it enough for the old man to have A Rui?
"But..." Yan Hong always felt heavy-hearted, but when she saw Aunt Qiu's calm expression, she thought that it might be that she was thinking too much.
It's just perfume, not poison. You can tell there's something wrong just by smelling it.
Aunt Qiu looked outside. She didn't want to do that either, but she had no effective solution...
In the end, she was still unable to reach a consensus with the old man. When Wei Bingyan came, she was holding back a raging rage, but now the rage was gone as she was unhappy with what the old man said.
She was asked to find a way to make Wei Zhong lose the trust of the crown prince and to make him leave the court quickly. What could she do? The master clearly wanted to use Li Yuyan to deal with Wei Zhong, but what did this have to do with her?
In order to ensure Wei Zhong's safety in the future, does she have to sacrifice herself and marry Li Yuyan?
Li Yuyan! Thinking of such a hateful bastard, Wei Bingyan was really angry. What on earth could he do? In just a few months, he made the old man trust him so much that he wanted to bet Wei Zhong's safety on him.
The Li Yuyan she knew would never change his mind easily because of others, and would never let his opponent go completely.
What a damn bastard!
Returning to the house, Wei Bingyan still couldn't get rid of her hatred. Thinking that she had never been able to make her own decisions in her marriage, she felt depressed and painful.
"Miss, Aunt Yin is back." Bai Binghui walked in and said to Wei Bingyan.
Wei Bingyan thought of something more important, so she put the old man's words in her heart for a short time. She looked up and saw Aunt Yin coming in behind Bai Binghui. She had a serious face and held two exquisite crystal clear glazed bottles in her hands.
"What does the master say?" Wei Bingyan asked.
Aunt Yin said softly, "This is not an ordinary perfume. It is a pure perfume that has been repeatedly purified. Madam said it is also called essence oil. It is fine for ordinary people to use it, and it can nourish the skin. But if pregnant women use it, it will cause fetal death. In addition... these two bottles of perfume also contain musk, although it is a small amount. If used for a long time..."
"I know!" Wei Bingyan's face was as ruthless as ice. If a pregnant woman used musk for a long time, not only would the fetus die, but she would also become infertile. How could she not know that?
Aunt Yin remained silent for a while, then looked at Wei Bingyan and opened her mouth slightly, "Mrs. Li said that this perfume was originally spread all over the world, and none of the perfumes she had seen had musk added like these two bottles."
"No wonder my mother felt uncomfortable when she smelled such a scent. I didn't even notice that there was musk in it!" Wei Bingyan felt regret deep in her heart. If she hadn't been shocked by the news from the palace today, how could she have been so careless and not noticed that there was something wrong with the perfume.
"How did Aunt Qiu get this thing?" Bai Binghui asked in surprise.
