He always owed Lin Fuying his life, this was an unchangeable fact.

"You better, let me think about it."

Bai Wuhen thought for a moment, and finally spoke with great difficulty.

Although he did not agree directly, Lin Fuying knew in her heart that as long as she persuaded her a few more times, he would definitely agree.

If you want to deceive Ye Yunting, you must naturally make a lot of preparations.

Before that, she had to find a way to completely cut off Yang Xuan's thoughts.

……

The marriage that Jiuxiao and Chu Nanli talked about that day and night was not impulsive.

He had been thinking about this matter since she reconciled, but he had never been able to find a chance to speak to Chu Nanli.

Of course, he was always thorough in his work. After the palace banquet, he still found an opportunity to enter the palace and vaguely mentioned the matter to the Queen Mother.

"Xiao'er wants to get married? Which family in Beijing is she from?"

In the past few years, Ye Jiuxiao's marriage has always been a worry for the Queen Mother.

It's not that she has never looked for young ladies in the capital, but it's a pity that Ye Jiuxiao doesn't like them all.

You know, Ye Jiuxiao is only two years older than Ye Yunting.

Now Ye Yunting has gotten married and divorced, but Ye Jiuxiao's marriage is still not settled at all.

"She is an excellent girl," Ye Jiuxiao thought of her daily interactions with Chu Nanli, with a smile on her lips, "The queen also likes her very much."

"You mean?"

The Queen Mother's expression changed. She didn't need Ye Jiuxiao to explain clearly, she had already guessed who he was talking about.

Why did it happen to be Chu Nanli?

However, the Queen Mother was not too surprised.

After all, apart from Chu Nanli, she had never seen Ye Jiuxiao be so special to others.

"But do you really not care about her current situation?"

The Queen Mother suddenly felt worried when she recalled what Chu Nanli had said to her.

If she really agrees to this marriage, won't the child in Chu Nanli's belly be called brothers to Ye Yunting from now on?
If the truth never comes out, then everything will be fine.

But if one day, the truth is exposed to the world, wouldn't it make the entire royal family laugh?

Sensing the Queen Mother's worry, Ye Jiuxiao raised her eyebrows but said nothing.

The reason why he mentioned this matter to the Queen Mother today was just to make the Queen Mother mentally prepared.

Whether the Queen Mother agrees or objects will not change his decision.

But today, there is obviously no chance to continue talking.

Ye Jiuxiao accompanied the Queen Mother to talk about other things, and soon found an excuse to leave the palace and return home.

After he left, the Queen Mother was still worried about this matter.

Until the emperor came to say hello.

"Mother, what's bothering you today?"

He paid attention to the expression on the Queen Mother's face, and quietly guessed what the Queen Mother was worried about.

Could it be because of his harem?
The Queen Mother often advised him not to be too nice to Concubine Yang Shu, lest Concubine Yang become too pampered and forget her duty as a concubine.

But he is already the emperor, why can't he favor the woman he likes?
Therefore, he always followed the Queen Mother's persuasion in both positive and negative ways.

"It's not about your brother's marriage," the Queen Mother sighed. "When you first came to the throne, he helped you take care of a lot of things because of your poor health, but because of this, you missed the time to get engaged."

In those two years, people in the capital became very angry when the regent was mentioned. How could they dare to marry their own daughter?

Are they rushing to die?

You know, in Ye Jiuxiao's first year as regent, some officials wanted to please him and sent a young woman to his house.The next day, the woman was skinned, beheaded, and sent directly to the official's home.

The man was so frightened that he immediately resigned and returned home.

From then on, Ye Yunting's notoriety spread throughout the capital.

No one dares to provoke him anymore.

The emperor was not unaware of these rumors about Ye Jiuxiao.

Some of them were even fueled by him behind the scenes.

When he first ascended the throne, he had already given Ye Jiuxiao great power, so it was naturally impossible for him to allow his reputation to improve.

"Oh? I don't know, whose daughter does the emperor have his eyes on?"

"If your family background is suitable, I will issue a decree to marry you immediately!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes and was already thinking unconsciously in his heart about which noble girl from aristocratic family Ye Jiuxiao had been getting close to recently.

If he is a powerful person, then he must find a way to disrupt this marriage.

Ye Jiuxiao's power cannot be allowed to expand further.

"You know that woman, too."

The Queen Mother sighed and slowly told the truth.

"What? It turned out to be her?"

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, the emperor's expression immediately changed.

If Chu Nanli was just a commoner woman with an ordinary status, and did not marry Ye Yunting and then divorce her, then he would naturally be happy to see the marriage come to fruition.

"No, that woman first had an affair with Yunting, and now she's hooking up with the emperor's brother. If word of this spreads, it will only make people laugh!"

The emperor's brows suddenly frowned even more tightly.

"Besides, she is still pregnant with a child of unknown origin."

The Queen Mother's tone suddenly became more helpless, "How could I not know that her identity is not worthy of Xiao'er at all."

"But the Ai family owes Xiao'er so much. If he insists on marrying her, the Ai family will not be able to refuse."

After all, before Ye Jiuxiao was born, their mother and son were not loved by the late emperor.

Moreover, because the emperor had been frail and sickly since he was a child, the late emperor naturally preferred those princes who were physically strong.

You know, the late emperor had many concubines, including more than a dozen princes.

It is natural to imagine how fierce the situation was during the fight for the throne.

If it hadn't been for Ye Jiuxiao's intelligence when she was just a few years old, mother and son would have died in the strife in the harem.

"Back then, your father actually wanted to pass the throne to your younger brother..."

The emperor smiled and accepted the Queen Mother's words: "I know that if the emperor's brother was not too young, this position would probably belong to the emperor's brother."

In fact, there was no need for the Queen Mother to remind him, the Emperor always remembered this matter.

He believed that his talents were only slightly inferior to Ye Jiuxiao.

No matter what my father thought at the beginning, he was the one who inherited the throne in the end.

From now on, this position will only belong to his son and grandson, and will have nothing to do with Ye Jiuxiao!

Over the years, he has actually been secretly wary of Ye Jiuxiao.

If Ye Jiuxiao is found to have any disloyal intentions, then he will no longer care about brotherhood.

No matter how dark his thoughts were, on the surface, the emperor still had to pretend to be gentle and generous.

"I just think that the emperor's brother should marry a better woman. How about this? I order the queen to summon all the women of suitable age to the capital to choose a suitable one for the emperor's brother!"
