Chapter 142 Just marry her already!
Chapter 142 Just marry her already!
"That's probably true. Even the most powerful fortune-telling techniques can't break through the purple aura on the chosen one. That's why I haven't been able to see how things turned out for you and Yan Yuelan all these years."
Xiao Dongqian felt that he had discovered something extraordinary.
Qin Wanying couldn't see what happened between her and Yue Lan.
The more Xiao Dongqian thought about it, the more convinced he became that it was true.
They've committed quite a few illegal acts.
The Marquis of Dingbei's mansion is going against them. If Qin Wanying could really foresee their past and future, she would have already convicted them!
The reason he can still sit here unharmed is because Qin Wanying cannot see anything related to them!
In an instant, another idea flashed through Xiao Dongqian's mind.
“She herself is a chosen one of destiny, so how could she possibly foresee her own fate?” Xiao Dongqian said.
The immortal was slightly taken aback.
"I doubt he could have predicted it. I had a grandmaster who was a chosen one. Although his fortune-telling was extremely accurate, he couldn't foresee his own destiny."
Xiao Dongqian's expression became excited.
He recalled that Yue Lan had mentioned the details of the assassination attempt on her in her previous letters.
The other side seemed completely unprepared, and the shadow guard responsible for protecting Qin Wanying was seriously injured.
It seems she really can't see her own problems!
Knowing that she has this blind spot makes things much easier.
Previously, he felt that he was being held back at every turn, and dared not act freely, feeling that everything he did was being seen by the other party.
It seems that even eagles can be blind sometimes.
The immortal sat down cross-legged, placed his hands on his knees, and closed his eyes.
"Immortal?" Xiao Dongqian called him, but he didn't react at all.
Xiao Dongqian went up to check the immortal's breathing and found that the immortal had stopped breathing.
He died as expected.
Xiao Dongqian looked at him quietly, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
Fortunately, before the immortal died, he proved his worth by revealing Qin Wanying's blind spot.
Out of curiosity, Xiao Dongqian sent people into the cave to search.
He wanted to know how this immortal had managed to live these past two years.
However, they discovered that the cave was a hidden world inside, connected to another cave entrance. Emerging from that entrance, they found a small world with various kinds of food.
No wonder they didn't starve to death in there for two years.
The boy guarding the cave entrance looked sorrowful as he carried the immortal's remains into the cave, intending to bury them in the small world inside.
Xiao Dongqian immediately sent a message to Yan Yuelan and the Empress Dowager, informing them of his discovery.
-----------------
Yan Mansion.
Yan Yuelan was overjoyed after receiving the letter.
He finally realized Qin Wanying's blind spot.
She used to feel that her actions were restricted in many ways, but now she finds that there are many things she can do.
Qin Wanying is now assisting the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice.
Now, the Dali Temple has no one from them.
She needs to find a way to plant someone in the Dali Temple and find an opportunity to get rid of Qin Wanying.
Who is she looking for?
She suddenly remembered seeing Le Xiuyuan at a banquet before. She had seen the look of amazement and shyness in his eyes when he looked at her.
Later, she saw Yue Xiuyuan several times near her residence.
Le Xiuyuan's gaze always seemed to fall on her, albeit casually.
This Le Xiuyuan is currently working at the Dali Temple.
Aren't men just meant to be used?
He could use Yue Xiuyuan to do things for himself.
The next step is to create an opportunity to meet.
Unfortunately, Yan Yuelan only knew Qin Wanying's blind spots, but she didn't know that Qin Wanying had a script!
She has a script and has already mastered most of what she needs to do.
-----------------
Le Xiuyuan had a dream last night.
He dreamt that Yan Yuelan was chasing him with her gaping, blood-red mouth open, which startled him so much that he woke up in a cold sweat.
Thankfully, it was just a dream!
All the goodwill he had for Yan Yuelan vanished completely.

Dingbeihou Mansion.
It was late at night, and Qin Yezhong and Yang Xiurong were still awake in their bedroom.
Qin Yezhong said, "Of our children, only Xingyuan is married, and Yonghua and Rufeng are engaged. We still need to find good wives for Xiaorong, Yunzhu, and Xiaoyan."
“Yes, Wanying is already fifteen, the age for marriage, and she can get married now,” Yang Xiurong sighed.
Qin Yezhong remained silent.
The thought that his lovely daughter would one day get married made him extremely sad.
He hopes his daughter will never grow up and will always stay by his side.
"He's only fifteen, isn't that still early?" Qin Yezhong said.
“I know you’re reluctant to part with your daughter, and so am I. But a daughter has to get married sooner or later. It’s not that we have to marry her off right now, but we have to start looking for a husband now.” Yang Xiurong’s tone was also somewhat melancholy.
Qin Yezhong remained silent.
In his heart, no one was good enough for his precious daughter.
Actually, he already had an idea in his mind.
Having spent many years in officialdom, he had long since learned to guess the emperor's intentions.
“Wan Ying might marry the Crown Prince,” Qin Yezhong said.
Yang Xiurong was stunned for a moment.
His Majesty already knows that Yan Yuelan has sided with Xiao Dongqian, and the Crown Prince will definitely not marry her in the end.
Logically speaking, their daughters from the Marquis's mansion were not a good match for the Crown Prince; the Crown Prince should at least marry the daughter of a Duke as his principal wife.
However, Wan Ying was different from others; her abilities were extraordinary and far surpassed those of other women.
"Madam, think about it. If Wanying's abilities fall into the hands of His Majesty's enemies, what kind of impact would that have on the Great Yao Dynasty?"
Yang Xiurong remained silent.
Indeed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Therefore, the safest way to ensure that Wanying will continue to serve Yao is for the Crown Prince to marry her."
Yang Xiurong was stunned for a moment.
She hadn't expected that.
However, being a crown princess is not an easy job, and maintaining a foothold in the harem is not easy either.
She didn't want her daughter to be exposed to all this deceit and treachery; she only hoped that her daughter could live a peaceful and happy life.
-----------------
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
It was late at night, and the Emperor was still reviewing memorials in his study, coughing occasionally.
The crown prince, standing beside him, said with concern, "Father, please take care of your health. You can leave this to me."
The Crown Prince's residence is outside the palace, but the Crown Prince often helps his father with government affairs and spends half of his time staying in the palace.
"It's alright, this is the last one," the Emperor replied.
"Speaking of which, this Minister of the Imperial Secretariat has sided with the Prince of War, and even Yan Yuelan has gotten involved with him." The Emperor placed the last memorial on top and looked at the Crown Prince, saying, "The selection of the Crown Princess needs to be reconsidered."
The crown prince raised his head and looked at his father, the emperor.
He had also considered this matter.
"I think Qin Wanying, the daughter of the Marquis of Dingbei, is just right. You should marry her," the Emperor said.
The prince's face flushed slightly.
He was truly impressed by Qin Wanying.
She possesses stunning beauty, exceptional abilities, and extraordinary demeanor.
After meeting Qin Wanying for the first time, the woman would indeed appear in his mind from time to time.
I had never felt this way about Yan Yuelan before.
