My husband married a concubine? I turned around and married the cold prince.

Chapter 247 Serious business

Fortunately, the wise king returned soon.

Princess Xian went to meet him excitedly and quickly sent away the servants in the room.

"Your Highness, how is it?" Princess Xian opened her eyes wide and looked at the King expectantly.

The virtuous king smiled at first, then took the virtuous princess's hand and walked to the couch next to him and sat down.

"The Emperor has already agreed to grant them a marriage. Now we just have to wait for the Imperial Observatory to pick a good day, and then the Emperor will issue an imperial decree."

The virtuous king naturally knew what his princess was expecting, and he did not keep her in suspense, but directly told her the result.

"Really? That's great." Upon hearing that the Emperor actually intended to grant the marriage, Princess Xian was extremely happy.

She couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips high, and then tightly grasped the king's arm.

"I knew that you were the best. You can even solve such difficult problems." Princess Xian looked at her husband with admiration on her face, with uncontrollable admiration in her eyes.

The wise king had never expected that because of this incident, his princess would look at him with such eyes again.

His vanity was instantly greatly satisfied, and he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss Princess Xian on her lips.

"What are you doing? Be careful, someone might come in!" Princess Xian was stunned, and her fair face turned red in an instant.

She shyly punched the wise king on the arm, then stood up and was about to leave.

The virtuous prince laughed out loud at the virtuous princess's reaction, and then he grabbed the virtuous princess's arm and held her in his arms.

"Who is so blind? Take him away and give him a beating, and he will behave himself."

"Okay, okay, stop joking. I'm talking about serious matters." Princess Xian pretended that nothing had happened, but the shyness at the corners of her brows still did not disappear.

"Yeah, I'm talking about serious matters."

The first thing Shi Qiuwu did when he got the news was to tell An Qingqian about it.

King Dingyuan also found out some information about the thief that night.

"Your Majesty, there is a guard in the Crown Prince's Mansion. Two days ago, I found black spots on his fingertips. I went to check it myself and found that he was indeed poisoned by Qingluozi.

There is one person poisoned in both Prince Cheng's Mansion and Prince Yong's Mansion. They were both poisoned by the green radish seeds. However, compared to the person poisoned in the Crown Prince's Mansion, their poison is more serious."

"Also, I have asked the spies inside, and they all said they don't know what's going on. These three people are the personal guards of the Crown Prince, Prince Yong, and Prince Cheng."

"So what you mean is that the thief that night was one of these three people?" King Dingyuan frowned and looked up at the person in front of him.

"Your Highness, I dare not speak rashly, but Qingluozi is our only clue. I have brought people to check all the medicine shops in the capital, but there is no news. Right now, this is the only clue we have."

Wu Tai shook his head. There was very little information about the thief that night, and the green radish poison was the most direct and obvious clue.

"You only saw one person that night, right?" King Dingyuan cast a cold look at Wu Tai.

"Yes, I did see only one person." Wu Tai nodded.

"Then you say, could it be that King Cheng sent people to investigate the situation here?" King Dingyuan stroked the lace of the teacup and spoke thoughtfully.

To be honest, when King Dingyuan heard about these three people, he first suspected King Cheng.

Although King Cheng wanted to cooperate with him, he was not a simple person, so it was not ruled out that he would send someone to get the message from here.

“Your Majesty, I am not sure about this, but it was Prince Cheng who took the initiative to cooperate with Your Majesty. It’s not that he has no motives, but if it is really his people who saw the letter, then there will be no big problem.

The content of the letter was originally about King Cheng discussing cooperation with us, so this will not have any impact."

Wu Tai was actually not sure. Even though he personally followed the thief that night, first to Prince Cheng's Mansion and then to Prince Yong's Mansion, he was still not sure whether these were just tricks of the thief.

"Wu Tai, you go there in person and investigate the whereabouts of these three people during those few days. Make sure you find out who the real thief is.

If it is King Cheng, then the cooperation will be cancelled. If not, then we have to think carefully about the other two.

We must find out the real thief in this matter."

The matter of the little thief not only involved the confidential information of the cooperation he discussed with King Cheng, but more importantly, King Dingyuan felt that he was being fooled.

He has been scheming against others all his life, and has rarely encountered such a thing.

The secrets were seen by a thief, but the real thief has not been found out for so many days.

This was a complete shame for him, the King of Dingyuan.

After Wu Tai left, King Dingyuan sat alone in a chair, staring at the red flame in the charcoal basin in front of him with a solemn expression.

There was only one thief, but now three of them have been poisoned.

The poison of Qingluozi is very rare. He only found out about it by chance and bought it.

Where did the green radish poison on the other two people come from?

Is there anyone else in the capital who also possesses this poison?

So after he was poisoned, he poisoned the other two families, trying to lead the clues to others?

Who does the real thief belong to?

Prince Dingyuan was very worried about the little thief's identity, but An Qingqian was already in the main hall receiving an order.

"Your servant An Qingqian accepts your order." An Qingqian knelt on the ground respectfully.

"The Emperor, by the Will of Heaven, summons:

I have heard that the wise king's son, Shi Qiuwu, is a man of both talent and virtue, and has outstanding character; and the general's daughter, An Qingqian, is gentle, virtuous, elegant and dignified. The two are a match made in heaven.

Therefore, I hereby grant you this marriage, wishing that you two will be united in love forever, live in harmony, respect each other like guests, and grow old together.

At that time, Qiu Wu should treat An Qingqian with respect, protect her well, and cherish her.

An Qingqian should also be gentle, respectful, frugal, respectful to her husband, and manage the household well to demonstrate her virtue as a woman.

The two of them will hold a grand ceremony on March 12th. I hope that the two of them will obey my orders, create a happy marriage, and add glory to my country.

Admire this. "

"Your Majesty, I accept your order. Thank you very much. Long live the emperor."

An Qingqian stood up and took the imperial edict. There was no joy on her face, but instead confusion and bewilderment.

She gestured to Yingyi to slip a silver note to Eunuch Sheng, and then made a gesture of invitation.

"Please take a seat, Eunuch Sheng. I am really sorry to trouble you today."

Although An Qingqian was suspicious, she still had an elegant and decent smile on her face.

Eunuch Sheng glanced at the number on the banknote, his lips curled up, and he accepted it without any hesitation.

"Congratulations, Miss An. Congratulations, Miss An, on finding your perfect marriage."

Seeing Eunuch Sheng accept the silver, An Qingqian walked up to him and spoke in a low voice.
