Chapter 364 It’s difficult, even more difficult
An Yonghou's old face turned red, and he poked Qi Ningliang, "It's all your fault. I told you to be gentler."
So the two of them climbed down the pole, and Marquis An Yong smiled, "I'm just worried that there will be trouble in the Marquis' Mansion tonight."
Gu Qing Pei, who was kneeling on the ground, did not dare to move, otherwise he would definitely look at An Yonghou with a shocked face. He had already tried his best to ensure Qi Ningan's safety and did not sell her out.
Marquis An Yong sold his own daughter with just a few words and a smile. Is this really okay?
Marquis Le Yong seemed to have understood, but he didn't say it out loud to save some dignity for both parties. Besides, it seemed that his grandson would be at a disadvantage if he met Qi Ning'an. It would be a disgrace for him if he was caught in such a thing.
Gu Qing Pei saw An Yonghou coming, gritted his teeth and said, "An Yonghou, I have collected a lot of information about Yan Yu's father, the former Zhongshu Shilang, Yan Xianglin. There is no evidence of treason! An Yonghou, my identity and official position make it difficult to overturn the case. I beg An Yonghou to help me. I owe An Yonghou, and I will repay him with my life."
Gu Qing Pei must have been forced into a corner, otherwise he probably wouldn't have been able to say such words. Normally, he wasn't seen so helpless.
In fact, Gu Qingpei had indeed tried his best. The case was complicated at the time, with various forces pulling each other's weight. It was rare that he was ordered to be exiled without even being sent to the Dali Temple.
At that time, Gu Qing Pei didn't know Yan Yu yet, so he couldn't really help her. When he met Yan Yu and wanted to get married, it was too late.
But because the case was not very rigorous to begin with and was so complicated, there was nothing that could be done even though a lot of things were investigated.
A few days ago, Yan Yu was extremely anxious and originally planned to just get married, but she felt that Gu Qingpei's kindness to her in the past few years was more genuine than that of Zhenzhu, and she had no choice but to ask her mother to let her out to see Gu Qingpei.
But Gu Qingpei also tried hard in front of the emperor for a long time, bringing up some old cases whenever he had the chance, but he was unable to overturn the verdict.
Back then, Concubine Yan was deeply favored by the emperor, and within a year she was promoted several times, and even became pregnant with a dragon fetus. Her brother Yan Xianglin, who had always been mediocre, also took advantage of Concubine Yan's influence and made a good living in the former court.
However, on the day when Concubine Yan was about to give birth, Yan Xianglin was suddenly thrown into prison. Without any chance to defend himself, he was accused of treason and collaborating with the enemy.
Naturally, Concubine Yan went to beg for mercy with her nearly ten-month-old belly, resulting in two deaths.
From then on, the emperor hated him even more, and the incident of Yan Xianglin was buried in the ground early on.
It was so fast that it seemed like a dream.
If Gu Qingyun hadn't been told about this, his brother would have rushed directly to the emperor to demand an explanation.
I didn't expect that the matter would be delayed until today's situation. I originally wanted to ask for everything to be taken care of, but now when I think about it, I can't even ask for everything to be taken care of.
Everyone stared at GuQingPei in shock.
Le Yonghou was even more furious and kept cursing, "You monkey, you usually keep quiet, but it turns out you have a big secret. Why did you ask for help from An Yonghou??? You are so bold, Yanyu is a good child, but your relationship is doomed to fail. I advise you to give up this idea and send Yanyu back as soon as possible, or your mother will be worried!"
Gu Qing Pei's eyes were firm. This was the nth time he had retorted to his grandfather tonight, "Grandfather! Why did you give up on this idea?! I have finally come this far. As long as the case is overturned, she can marry into the family with honor..."
After saying this, whether he was angry or something, he said slowly, "Yan Yu's family has fallen into poverty. If I marry her, I really can't bring much help to the family. It's reasonable for grandfather to dislike her. But I will give her the dowry shop myself, and I won't fall behind. In addition to the help from the family, I can give her everything..."
Yan Yu's heart, which had been in so much pain, seemed to have glued itself together again. She looked at Gu Qing Pei with burning eyes. He was always like a ray of light in her life, so bright and clear, and every moment he did so, he flashed with hope.
Le Yonghou almost choked up, and the eldest princess was shocked. She couldn't help but speak in a serious tone, "Are you going to piss off your grandfather to death tonight?"
Gu Qing Pei kowtowed heavily, tears streaming down his face unconsciously. If he couldn't marry Yan Yu, then tonight would probably be the last time they met.
An Yonghou sighed, he was young once too, and he had also felt the pain of being unable to be loved, and felt that everything was so difficult. When two people were about to be together, it seemed as if there were thousands of troops ahead of them.
But... Gu Qingpei had the bad luck to fall in love with the daughter of a criminal. Usually, the criminal cannot have his case overturned. Moreover, Yan Xianglin was exiled after only half a month of investigation.
It's obvious that someone doesn't want him to have an easy life.
"My dear nephew, I won't lie to you. Seeing that you two have a deep relationship, I can only stop here. This Zhongshu Shilang, or this Yanpin, may have offended some important person in the past. If it's Zhongshu Shilang, we have to count his interpersonal relationships. If it's Yanpin, when she was about to give birth, she was fighting with Lipin, Hu Changzai, Wanpin..."
That was enough to say. Marquis An Yong simply lowered his eyes and said goodbye to the marquis and the princess. He had come here to watch the fun, but now he couldn't stay any longer.
Moreover, seeing that the Marquis was extremely angry but not irrational, Marquis An Yong felt relieved.
Gu Qingpei's back, which had fallen down, never straightened up again. Lipin was now Lifei.
Who knows, she might become Concubine Li in two days.
I don't know what kind of bloody storm it went through, but in any case, the dragon son was born intact, a baby boy.
The emperor was so happy that he gave Concubine Li continuous rewards every day, and asked her to accompany her and the children every day.
This is the second prince since the emperor ascended the throne. Except for the current crown prince, almost all the people in the palace are princesses. Besides, the birth of this baby boy makes the emperor even more delighted.
As for the royal family, as long as there are enough princes, the country will not slip away easily, and even the empress dowager will be very happy.
On the day of his birth, the whole city was almost decorated with lights and lanterns.
There is nothing that can be done about a little prince who was born in luxury and whose mother is as meritorious as he.
Marquis An Yong's meaning was very clear. If it was something related to the previous dynasty, they could still overturn the case, but if it was something related to the harem, they could not interfere.
Moreover, that incident has always been a thorn in the emperor's heart, because the dead fetus born by Concubine Yan was a prince, but his face was blue and purple when he was born, and he died within an hour.
