Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the dude to take power

Chapter 150 The Art of Balance

Tonight, King Jin was demoted, and the one who couldn't sleep the most was Wen Ruyue.

She didn't enter the palace today, so it was Ning Yuanhou who said this. Ning Yuanhou was completely numb and extremely angry.

"Xiao Sheng was demoted. He will no longer be the King of Jin."

He is not the Prince of Jin, but a prince, just a prince.

"You shouldn't have arranged your marriage so early. What should you do now? A prince and a prince, how can you compare?"

Ningyuan Hou thought more deeply. Xiao Sheng was demoted, and the situation in the court was bound to change.

Moreover, Xiao Sheng was demoted again and again, and the position of heir was getting further and further away from him.

So why did I marry my daughter to him?

"Father, what's going on here? Why was the King of Jin demoted?"

"He plotted against your sister, wanting to force her to do something he hadn't done before, but your sister refused to comply and ended up jumping into the river."

Refuse to obey until death?

How could I not obey?

"My sister likes Prince Jin." She also said that she wanted to make it a done deal with Prince Jin.

Why didn't you do it?

"Father, where is my sister? Did someone frame her? Push her into the river?"

Marquis Changyuan retorted, "That's in the palace, who dares to push her?"

Wen Ruyue felt a little uneasy.

What does sister mean?

"Father, can I go to the palace to see my sister tomorrow?"

"Well, Dad will go and deliver the post."

There should still be room for improvement.

The next day, Wen Ruyue packed up and set off in a carriage. However, the carriage had not gone far before it was stopped by someone.

"Is the second daughter of Ningyuan Houfu in the car?"

Someone outside is asking questions.

The maid Yun Duo lifted the curtain and looked outside. Not far ahead, a woman dressed as a maid intercepted the carriage.

"Since you knew it was the carriage from the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, why did you dare to intercept it?"

"Miss, please don't be angry. I am from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. My daughter wants to see Miss Wen Er for something."

The girl from the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion is Xiling’er?

Wen Ruyue guessed that it was because of Xiao Sheng.

Wen Ruyue said:

"I'm going to the palace. If your girl has any problems, please let her come up."

After hearing this, your daughter went back and reported to her own daughter.

After a while, Xiling'er came over.

After Xi Ling'er got on the carriage, she said straight to the point, "Second Miss, are you going to the palace to see Princess Huayang?"

"Miss Xi, are you looking for me because of Xiao Sheng?"

"Is the Second Miss also going to the palace because of her cousin's matter?"

Wen Ruyue nodded.

"Are you going to persuade Princess Huayang?"

Wen Ruyue nodded.

"Given your relationship with Princess Huayang, do you think she will listen to your advice?"

Xi Ling'er then continued, "Everyone knows that the two girls of the Wen family have always had a bad relationship because of their cousin."

"She may not listen to your advice. Why don't you give this item to Princess Huayang? Princess Huayang is intelligent and will understand that there are no eternal enemies in this world."

Wen Ruyue saw her handing over a book with the art of balance written on it.

Wen Ruyue took the book.

"Miss Wen will marry my cousin in the future. Only when my cousin is well can Miss Wen be well."

Wen Ruyue was silent for a moment before nodding silently.

Then Xi Ling'er got off the car, and Wen Ruyue entered the palace as she wished, and also entered the warm room in the side hall as she wished.

Yesterday, Wen Xingchen lived directly in the warm room.

Today she took medicine and fell asleep again.

When Wen Ruyue came, Wen Xingchen was asleep.

Wen Ruyue did not disturb him, but sat aside and waited.

This wait lasts for an hour.

Wen Xingchen woke up in a daze and saw Wen Ruyue.

Wen Ruyue did not question her first, but took care of Wen Xingchen with concern, either handing her water or feeding her herself.

Every move he made made Ruo'er, who was taking care of him, feel comfortable.

Ruo'er was sent to Xingchen by the Princess Protector of the Country.

After Wen Xingchen has eaten and drunk well, it’s time to take his medicine.

Ruo'er brought it over, and Wen Ruyue took it and said, "Miss Ruo'er, can you bring some sour oranges? I want to eat some sour oranges to moisten my mouth after taking the medicine."

Ruo'er looked at the candied fruits on the table. There were all kinds of them except sour oranges.

She subconsciously looked at Wen Xingchen, and Wen Xingchen nodded.

"Princess Huayang and Miss Wen have a really good relationship. It's not like the rumors say."

Wen Xingchen glanced at Wen Ruyue. Wen Ruyue looked well-behaved and virtuous as she lowered her head to stir the medicine soup.

And when she heard Ruo'er's words, her brows relaxed.

"Miss Ruo'er, she is my biological sister."

Ruoer said she understood.

"I'll trouble Miss Wen for this. I'll go prepare the sour oranges."

"Well, you go and do your work first."

Ruo'er went out to get the tangerines and came back soon. Wen Ruyue then helped Wen Xingchen drink the medicine.

After taking the medicine and eating the tangerines, Wen Xingchen couldn't sleep, so he asked Wen Ruyue to get a book to entertain himself.

Wen Ruyue brought it obediently.

Wen Xingchen took it, and Wen Ruyue asked, "Is my sister feeling better?"

"Ah."

"Sister, do you know that Prince Jin was stripped of his title?"

"I know." Wen Xingchen's voice was light, and Wen Ruyue felt a little anxious.

"Didn't my sister say that she liked His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin and was looking for opportunities to get engaged? Why did she jump into the river this time?"

Wen Xingchen raised her eyebrows and asked, "When did this princess tell you that she wanted to cancel the engagement?"

Wen Ruyue let the cat out of the bag. She had sent someone to secretly monitor her, and she didn't tell her in person.

"Sister, don't you like Prince Jin anymore?"

Wen Xingchen nodded.

"This princess is engaged to Chen Jia Silang, so naturally, I will only love Chen Jia Silang in the future. As for Xiao Sheng, just let me give him to my sister. You used to go to great lengths to act in front of him and slander this princess, wasn't it just because you wanted him to like you? Then you must work hard."

effort?

"But now he has been stripped of his title and is just a prince."

"I remember that I was the one who asked for her title. Now that it's gone, everything has simply returned to square one."

Wen Ruyue: ...

"Sister, can you talk to the Emperor and have him named Prince of Jin?"

Wen Xingchen snorted lightly: "Why?"

Why?

Wen Ruyue was shocked. She actually heard hatred in Wen Xingchen's tone.

"You hate him?"

"Wen Ruyue, are you clueless? This princess has always been vindictive, so how could I help him when I know he only wants to use me?"

This means she really doesn't like him, and she hates him, so naturally she won't let him get his wish.

And stripping her of her title was the first step. No, she had started planning this a long time ago.

She married Silang of the Chen family, and the Chen family and the Xi family were rivals, with the two kings existing in the court.

But when Wen Xingchen married Chen Silang, the two kings had clear candidates.

He wants to use the Chen family to deal with Xiao Sheng and the Xi family.

"But sister knows very well that Xiao Sheng is the chosen one and will become the emperor in the future. If you do this, where will the Ningyuan Marquisate be placed?"

"This princess doesn't like him, so naturally I have to make him understand that without this princess, he, Xiao Sheng, is nothing, let alone reaching that position."

This was said very bluntly. If Wen Ruyue didn't understand, she would be dumbfounded.

She should have been happy that she didn't marry Xiao Sheng, because no one would compete with her for the position of empress dowager.

However, she was inexplicably panicked.

"That's impossible. Xiao Sheng has the support of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. Even without you, he will definitely become the emperor."

Wen Xingchen smiled.

"Then let's wait and see."

Wen Xingchen waved his hand.

"Go back if you're alright. We don't need a servant like you here."
