How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

Chapter 261: Yingying and Yanyan have a headache, two sisters with different thoughts

As the sky gradually brightened, Shen Yuan and Wuhen Wuji met up at the meeting point. The expressions of the three were extremely serious, and it was obvious that there was no good news.

"We searched all the palaces that could hide people, especially the places with many guards. We searched twice, but there was no trace of your Highness." Wuji frowned, and his peach blossom eyes, which were always warm and smiling, were now a little cold. "Wuhen, how about you?"

Wuhen shook his head, "Same."

The two turned to look at Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan lowered his eyes and thought about something. He put his arm and gently rubbed his fingertips. After a moment, he slowly said, "A place with many guards is probably a trick set up by the prince."

It was impossible for Xie Jinyu not to guess that he would go looking for Xie Chengze. After all, they had been together for ten years, so he could still figure out Xie Jinyu's thoughts. However, Shen Yuan did not dare to be careless about Xie Jinyu's attitude towards Xie Chengze.

Wu Ji had obviously lost his patience. "It's too slow to search like this. Why not just kidnap the prince and ask him where His Highness is?"

Wuhen also nodded in agreement.

"Don't cause trouble for His Highness." Shen Yuan was a little troubled by these two wild horses that could break free at any time. "After all, he is the crown prince. It will not be good for His Highness to have a falling out with him."

He thought for a while before saying, "Search again, this time focusing on palaces with few or no guards, especially side halls that are rarely visited."

"You'd better be right." Wu Ji said this, used his lightness skills to disappear into the morning light.

Wuhen glanced at him. At this moment, he was not wearing the ink-black veil. His sharp sword-like eyes filled with frost stared at Shen Yuan without blinking. His cold and calm eyes seemed to be waiting for a price for a worthless commodity, which made Shen Yuan's back feel a little creepy.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Wuhen said nothing, but continued to stare at Shen Yuan.

Just when Shen Yuan was about to lose his patience and was about to turn around and leave to look for Xie Chengze, Wuhen slowly took out a bright yellow object from his sleeve.

Shen Yuan initially felt that it looked familiar. When the bright yellow thing was halfway out, his eyes twitched fiercely, "How did you steal the imperial edict?!"

"It's not important." Wuhen slowly unfolded the imperial edict, staring at the flourishes on it, and said, "It says that you and His Highness will be married."

Wuhen looked up and asked seriously, "Who is the husband?"

Shen Yuan:?

As if seeing Shen Yuan's doubts, Wuhen slowly put away the imperial edict and explained, "According to Jian'an law, a husband can take concubines. Between you and His Highness, who is the husband? Who is the wife?"

Shen Yuan: ...

Shen Yuan then realized that he seemed to have missed a very serious problem.

Originally, he thought that with the late emperor's will, he could stay by Xie Chengze's side to protect him, and could also legitimately resist those who coveted the position of the prince's consort, especially Xie Jinyu. But Wuhen's sudden question made Shen Yuan gradually come to his senses.

The prince's harem not only has the prince's wife, but also the prince's concubines, concubines, and maids...

No wonder Emperor Jian was so forceful in granting the marriage, without asking Xie Chengze's opinion at all. It turned out that he just wanted to use the title of the Crown Prince's Consort to tie him down and make him protect Xie Chengze, instead of hoping that the two of them...

Shen Yuan felt a headache when he thought about moving into Chenghuan Palace in the future, where he would not only have to guard against the new emperor who might go crazy at any time, but also have to keep an eye on the beauties in Xie Chengze's harem.

Seeing Shen Yuan's expression change, Wuhen also had an idea in his mind. He rolled up the imperial edict and stuffed it back into his sleeve, then left the place with light steps.

When he passed by the imperial study, he accidentally found an imperial edict hidden in the secret room by someone unknown. He thought that if Shen Yuan became his husband, he would castrate him on the spot.

This is to prevent this person from being lonely in the future and betraying Your Highness by marrying a wife or taking a concubine.

Shen Yuan had no idea what he almost lost. Seeing Wuhen leave, he did not sit idle and continued searching in the palace.

The prince will attend court during the day, and he doesn't have much time left.

I hope there is good news from the two princesses.

On the other hand, Xie Ping'an and Xie Shu searched all the underground secret rooms in the inner palace but found nothing.

"That's strange." Xie Shu tapped her chin with her hand, thinking hard, "How could it be gone? Could it be that the prince hid my second brother up there?"

"Anyway, if it were me, I wouldn't hide it there." Xie Ping'an has many years of experience in storytelling. "My second brother is so handsome, lively and bright. If I were the prince, I would definitely lock him up in a dark and airtight secret room to hide my immoral feelings that cannot be revealed to the world."

Xie Pingan deliberately said "Ah!", "You gave birth to me, and I gave birth to you too. There is no need to regret being born late. There should be no obstacles, and our blood is connected!"

Xie Shu: "...Sister Huang, you are so perverted. If this year's third place winner doesn't like you, you won't take him away by force and lock him in a secret room, right?"

Xie Pingan thought seriously: "Well, if the other party doesn't have a family, then I can consider it."

"But, in fact, it doesn't matter whether we love each other or not." Xie Ping'an patted Xie Shu's shoulder and said earnestly, "Royal sister, if my second brother and the crown prince don't have offspring, the future crown prince will definitely be chosen from the next generation of other princes' daughters."

"It is impossible for the Queen Mother to choose the eldest brother's son as the crown prince. The fourth brother's situation is also in jeopardy, so there are only the two of us left."

Xie Ping'an's eyes became very deep, "So finding a husband is not important, giving birth to a son is important. Once the queen mother dies, you can sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor and become the queen mother!"

Xie Shu: !!!

"Oh my!" Xie Shu exclaimed, "It seems to make a lot of sense!"

Xie Shu began to wonder secretly whether she should look for her future husband earlier. She must give birth to a eldest son before her elder sister. In this way, she could become the empress dowager, secretly control the court, and use more power to establish her own intelligence network -!

At this point, she had connections inside and outside Jian'an!

Xie Ping'an withdrew his deep gaze, and a sinister smile of success appeared at the corner of his lips.

Hahaha, let your heart beat, let’s sway!

When you become the empress dowager who has to live in the harem with a pure heart and few desires, the imperial sister will marry 3,000 lovers outside the palace and let them all work in the storytelling book publishing house. Use the content of the storytelling books to influence the thoughts of thousands of people in Jian'an, and achieve the influence of one call and a hundred responses, and unity of purpose!

And you, my imperial sister, you are always one step behind me!

The two sisters had their own thoughts. After confirming that Xie Chengze was not in the secret room of the inner palace, they planned to follow the secret passage of the inner palace to the secret room of the outer palace to look for him again.

When passing through a secret passage, Xie Shu suddenly remembered something, "Sister, should we go see our father?"

The body of Emperor Jian was placed in the Taiji Hall, where the Empress, concubines, princes and princesses took turns to keep vigil. On the night of Emperor Jian's death, Xie Ping'an and Xie Shu had already kept vigil, so they did not go again.

Xie Pingan nodded, "That's fine, after all, he is the father."

The two turned around in the secret passage, climbed out of the side room and walked towards the Tai Chi Hall.
