i want to marry a princess

Sima Yi returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation from Kunning Palace, not expecting that Guo Chan was still there.

"Danyang, why haven't you left the palace yet?"

After Sima Yi asked this question, he couldn't help rubbing his temples, and sat down with the help of the little table on the couch. The two days' events made him feel tired.

Guo Chan walked to him and sat down. Seeing Sima Yi like this, she couldn't help but feel distressed.They grew up together, like brother and sister, Sima Yi has endured too much today.

"Cousin, why do you need to go to Kunning Palace?" Guo Chan said helplessly. Under such circumstances, Empress Zhang deliberately murdered the emperor's heir, which shows her viciousness.

"Although the person you love is not me..."

Unexpectedly, Sima Yi remembered what Queen Zhang said.He raised his head and glanced at Guo Chan who was looking at him with concern, and suddenly rejoiced that the elder princess rejected his mother.

Guo Chan, who has a certain distance from him, may be the most beautiful looking at her like this.There are constant disputes in the harem, and power will also eat away at people's will. Everyone he thinks he knows well will eventually become completely different.

"I just wanted to ask her..." Sima Yi sighed softly, "Actually, it was futile for me to go in the end. She is no longer the person she used to be."

Guo Chan was silent. From the time Empress Zhang took the empress position, she was no longer just Sima Yi's first wife.

Imperial power is far less glorious than people think.

Sima Yi said again: "But I told her that after she gave birth, the child will be sent outside the palace."

Guo Chan was puzzled, "But it's your cousin's own flesh and blood, isn't it appropriate to send it out of the palace?"

Sima Yi shook his head, and made up his mind, "Even if this child is born in the palace, he will not be happy. It is better to send him out of the palace to live an ordinary life. Moreover, only in this way can she know that her wishful thinking will eventually come to nothing."

Guo Chan naturally knew that "she" was referring to Empress Zhang, but this was Sima Yi's family affairs, and she didn't intend to interfere.

After a while, Sima Yi whispered, "Thank you, Chan'er."

Guo Chan was in a daze for a moment, as she hadn't heard this name for a long time.Guo Zhao and Sima Yi used to call her that way, but since Guo Zhao passed away, even Sima Yi rarely called her that way.

"Although I call you cousin, I always regard you as my biological brother. Between you and me, there is no need to thank you."

Sima Yi rarely showed a smile, perhaps this is the best relationship between him and Guo Chan.

Guo Chan paused, and then said: "Although we now know about the crimes committed by Empress Zhang, the murderer who murdered Princess Jingxiu has not been found yet, so we can't take it lightly!"

Huo Rufeng found out the source of the two maids and cut off them, as if they appeared out of thin air.As for the people around Princess Jingxiu, Li Xiu is still investigating. The maid who was found in the lake with Princess Jingxiu has been taking care of Princess Jingxiu for two years.

But Sima Yi suddenly said: "Let's start cutting down the feudal clan."

"What?" Guo Chan didn't expect Sima Yi to bring up this matter at this time. This is what she always advocated, but Sima Yi never agreed.

Sima Yi raised his head and looked at her, "I said cutting down the vassals. The vassal kings are always a hidden danger. It is better to solve it as soon as possible instead of raising tigers."

Guo Chan asked uncertainly, "What about Sima He?"

Sima Yi's expression remained unchanged, "Since the feudal clan is cut, it is natural that they will be treated equally."

Guo Chan nodded, expressing understanding, but doubts abounded in her heart.

After a while, Guo Chan couldn't help asking: "Cousin, can you tell me why you suddenly decided to cut down the feudal clan? Maybe you know who is behind the scenes?"

Sima Yi was about to speak when Li Xiu came in suddenly. He saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Dining Room specially sent some snacks, you might as well use some."

Guo Chan knew that Sima Yi hadn't eaten much since the incident happened, and when he saw him, he was about to wave his hand again, and said first, "It's just right, I'll use some too."

Hearing this, Sima Yi withdrew his original thoughts. He really didn't have much appetite.

It can be seen that the Imperial Dining Room has put a lot of thought into it, and the pastries delivered are all very delicate.

"This is the newly tributed Dahongpao, the princess might as well taste it together."

Li Xiu said and served tea.

Guo Chan smiled and said, "Director Li is always considerate."

"Cousin, I guess you must be too busy to eat, so eat some."

As Guo Chan spoke, he stuffed a piece into his hand, Sima Yi was stunned, picked up the snack and ate it, it tasted really good.

Li Xiu glanced at Sima Yi who had eaten some food, and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He looked at Guo Chan with softer eyes, "It's rare for the princess to come here. This servant is really happy."

This Hall of Mental Cultivation is Sima Yi's bedroom, and Guo Chan seldom comes here to avoid suspicion.

A young eunuch came in and silently added some spices to the incense burner.

Guo Chan dialed it with her hand, there was a unique fragrance, she couldn't help but said: "What is this? It doesn't seem to be ambergris."

Li Xiudao: "This incense is a new tribute agarwood, which helps sleep."

No need to guess, this must be for Sima Yi.

There was a faint fragrance in the hall, Guo Chan hadn't had time to drink refreshments and was about to continue with the question just now, she didn't expect a young eunuch to report at this time, and it was Ling Jieyu who asked to see her.

Sima Yi and Guo Chan were taken aback for a moment, Guo Chan put down the snack with only one bite in her hand, and left her original seat.

Sima Yi frowned.

Among Sima Yi's concubines, Ling Jieyu was considered his favorite, and he also knew that Ling Jieyu was not the one to invite favors, so even if he didn't want to see him, he still let Li Xiu let her in.

Ling Jieyu obviously didn't know that Guo Chan was there, her expression froze when she saw Guo Chan.

"The concubine has seen the emperor." Ling Jieyu saluted.

Sima Yi raised his hand to let her get up. When Ling Jieyu stood up, she was startled when she saw the dark blue eyes in Sima Yi's eyes.

Sima Yi said indifferently: "Why did you come today?"

Ling Jieyu could hear the displeasure in Sima Yi's words, but she made up her mind to come over after much deliberation.

"Back to the emperor, the concubine actually has something to report to you today. Because the matter is so important, the concubine dare not neglect, so I came here without an order, and hope the emperor will forgive me."

Sima Yi glanced at Ling Jieyu and said, "Tell me what's going on?"

Only then did Ling Jieyu slowly say: "Today, a little maid in the concubine's palace had an emergency. It was just a trivial matter, but the person who took care of her came to report that the little maid had been talking about it since she fell ill. lies."

She paused at this point, and continued: "The concubine ordered someone to bring the little maid to the concubine. After questioning, she found out that she had witnessed the murder of Princess Jingxiu and was frightened. That's what makes you sick."

Ling Jieyu said: "That day, the little palace lady wanted to watch the excitement, so she hid outside the hall and peeked. After the assassin appeared, she hurriedly ran to the lake, and hid because she was afraid of her. Later she saw the scene Princess Xiu and a court lady also arrived at the lake, and someone who came out from nowhere pushed the court lady next to the princess into the lake, then strangled Princess Jingxiu and threw them into the lake."

Hearing this, Sima Yi had to pay attention, even Li Xiu pricked up his ears, and asked the eunuchs and maids serving on the side to retreat.

"The court lady can see the appearance of the murderer?"

This question was asked by Guo Chan. Although Li Xiudao said that Jingxiu's pinching was done by Jingxiu's personal maid, Guo Chan had investigated that court lady's family background and had no motive to commit this crime.

Ling Jieyu hesitated when she heard the words, but in the end she still told what she knew.

"The little maid said, although she didn't see the man's face, she could clearly see that the man was wearing the dress of a first-class court lady."

The first-class maid is only the title of the maids who serve the masters in each palace, and there are also special palace skirts corresponding to it.

Guo Chan said softly, "Could it be someone from Kunning Palace?"

Sima Yi shook his head after thinking deeply, "Since she hasn't moved Jingxiu for so many years, she won't move at this time either."

Ling Jieyu also said: "I don't think the concubine is a maid of Kunning Palace, because I asked her specifically before coming here today, she knows the people who serve the empress, so she should not be from Kunning Palace."

Li Xiu is also an old man who has experienced the era of the first emperor. At that time, there were many concubines in the palace, and there were endless intrigues in the palace. Compared with this, the harem today is much simpler.

But even at that time, the situation like today never happened. Two heirs and one concubine were lost in a row, and there seemed to be more than one power behind the scenes.

Naturally, Sima Yi couldn't listen to what she said, "Where is that court lady now?"

Ling Jieyu guessed that he would ask this question, and calmly replied: "Going back to the emperor, because the little maid is still ill, the concubine did not bring her along, and she is still in the concubine's palace at this time. "

"Li Xiu." Sima Yi called out, and Li Xiu immediately stepped forward, already guessing what Sima Yi was about to say.

"You take someone to investigate this matter."

"Wait a minute, Manager Li." Guo Chan stopped Li Xiu, and said under the puzzled eyes of several people: "Miss Jieyu, in fact, I don't know something, and I want to ask my lady for advice."

Ling Jieyu nodded, "Excuse me, princess."

"The assassin assassinated Concubine Xiao that day. When the emperor and I entered the side hall, the assassin had already fallen to the ground and died. Does the empress know how the assassin died?"

Guo Chan suddenly thought of this, but because she was too flustered that day, she ignored it for a while.

As soon as these words came out, Sima Yi also suddenly remembered that when he entered that day, he saw the court lady lying in a pool of blood, but the people present were all ordinary ministers or female relatives, so who killed this assassin?

Ling Jieyu thought for a while, then finally shook her head, and said: "At that time, the side hall was very crowded and the situation was very chaotic. The concubine didn't know how Concubine Xiao was stabbed, and only realized what happened when she heard the exclamation. What happened, the assassin was already dead when the concubine saw it."

Guo Chan frowned slightly. At that time, most of the people hiding in the side hall were concubines and maids. That assassin obviously knew martial arts, but who could kill that assassin in one fell swoop?

Sima Yi also thought of what Guo Chan was thinking, and it seemed that they still had a lot to investigate.Thinking about it, he tugged on his cuffs, feeling a little stuffy.

Guo Chan said: "How about this, cousin, I will go and have a look with Manager Li."

Although Sima Yi didn't know what Guo Chan was thinking, but he had always trusted Guo Chan, so he nodded, but for some reason, looking up at her leaving figure, he felt a little lost in his heart.

Ling Jieyu originally planned to leave with Guo Chan, but Sima Yi just raised his head and stood in front of her at some point, with a strange blush on his face.

Ling Jieyu said in a daze: "Your Majesty, if there is nothing wrong, the concubine will also retire."

Sima Yi was taken aback, and couldn't help but grab Ling Jieyu. He felt a little thirsty from just now.

At this time, Ling Jieyu also found that something was wrong with Sima Yi, because the hand held by Sima Yi was very hot, she said in a panic: "Your Majesty, do you want my concubine to announce the imperial physician for you?"

But Sima Yi said indifferently: "You stay with me."

As Sima Yi hugged Ling Jieyu, Ling Jieyu felt an invisible hand secretly manipulating something.Sima Yi has never been an impatient person, especially in this situation, how could he prostitution in daylight.

But from his appearance at this moment, it was clear that he wanted to do that with her.

When Guo Chan and Li Xiu went around the palaces and returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, they found that the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation was closed, and two eunuchs were guarding the door.

Li Xiu stepped forward and asked, "Why aren't you serving inside?"

The little eunuch didn't answer the question and said, "Go back to Mr. Li, the lady Jieyu is inside."

"Miss Jieyu is inside, so I have to go in to serve you!" Li Xiu looked at the two angrily, "I think you are used to being lazy."

The two young eunuchs hurriedly said not to dare, "The emperor and the empress are inside, the servants dare not disturb!"

Only then did Li Xiu realize it later and come back to it.

"Princess, this..."

Guo Chan didn't expect that Sima Yi and Ling Jieyu were working in the house at this time, and she was a little embarrassed for a while.

But she can't just wait here...

"Forget it, I'll go out of the palace first. I'll report to the emperor tomorrow." Guo Chan paused, "President Li, please take care of today's matter."

Guo Chan went with Li Xiu earlier because she suspected that there were still palace maids hiding in the palace. Such people were hidden so deeply in the palace that it would be uneasy not to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Li Xiu hurriedly said: "Where is the princess, the servant is the head of the house, and now something like this happened in the palace, it is really a negligence of duty. The servant must carefully check the identities of the palace people to ensure the safety of the palace."

"Then it will be hard for Mr. Li."

Li Xiu bowed slightly to send Guo Chan away.

Before Guo Chan left, she looked back at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, with a flash of doubt in her heart.
