Chapter 88 Another Complaint
imperial study room
"Your Majesty, Prince Zhan requests an audience!"
The empress was slightly stunned as she waited for Ji Yunhuan to enter the palace before Prince Beichen did.
What is she here for?
The empress had complicated feelings towards her half-sister. She was wary of and disgusted with her. To be honest, she didn't like her very much.
Pei Han, who was standing by, frowned and looked angry when he heard that Ji Yunhuan had also come.
"Send her in."
"Yes."
After a while, a person walked in from outside the hall.
He was wearing a crimson robe, a gold and jade belt around his waist, and had a tall and majestic figure.
Despite the erosion of time, she is still graceful and beautiful, with a rosy complexion, which shows that she has been well maintained, which makes the empress a little jealous when she sees her.
"I see your Majesty!"
The empress narrowed her eyes slightly and raised her hand: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so polite. Please stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ji Yunhuan thanked him and stood up.
"Why did the War King enter the palace?"
Ji Yunhuan glanced at Pei Han beside him and his face darkened slightly.
Thinking of the purpose of this, he raised his hand and bowed to the empress.
"Your Majesty, I am here to file a complaint!"
"I want to sue a thief for stealing my son's bride on his wedding day. He also took my son away and injured my daughter who was escorting her to the wedding!"
"I beg Your Majesty to help me and punish the thieves severely!"
The empress was surprised when she heard this, why did this sound so familiar?
His eyes fell on Pei Han standing beside him: "Lord Pei, why are the words of the War King and you so similar? What is this?"
Hearing the empress's question, Pei Han remembered that he had not told the empress who his daughter should marry.
So he stepped forward and explained: "Your Majesty, the man my daughter is marrying is the son of the Prince Zhan's mansion."
The empress was stunned. How could she not know?
"But what about Ji Ze?" Pei Han's face changed slightly, and Ji Yunhuan's face didn't look good either.
"Your Majesty, he is the eldest son of this king."
Hearing this, the empress was stunned.
The eldest son of the King of War?
Doesn’t she remember that the eldest son of Prince Zhan’s Mansion is Ji Ze?
wrong……
The empress thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that the King of War had another son.
That is the son left by Prince Xianzhan, and also the eldest son.
Her notorious, crippled nephew.
It's no wonder that the empress just remembered it. After all, the current King of War is Bai Wushuang, and his son Ji Ze is naturally the legitimate son, and he often appears among the noble men in the capital.
Over time, everyone naturally believed that Ji Ze was the legitimate son of Prince Zhan's Mansion, while the other eldest son from the original wife had been forgotten because of his bad reputation and had lived in the countryside for several years.
Thinking of the rumors about her nephew, the empress frowned.
Is there something wrong with the Pei family's brain?
Why did he give up Ji Ze, a beautiful woman with a good reputation and great talent, and instead chose her disabled nephew who had difficulty walking?
This was something that ordinary people would not do, but the Pei family did it, and Prince Zhan's Mansion agreed to it, which made the empress couldn't help but think of conspiracy theories.
Phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: "Zhan Wang, is this true?"
Ji Yunhuan didn't know that the empress had suspected him of some conspiracy, but he also knew that if this matter was not explained clearly, people would definitely feel strange.
"Your Majesty, that is indeed the case."
"It's because my eldest son and Lord Pei's daughter have been engaged since childhood. I see Xie'er is not young anymore, and Lord Pei thinks Miss Pei should get married, so the two families discussed and then sent the engagement."
The War King glanced sideways, staring at Pei Han with his deep eyes: "Isn't that right, Master Pei?"
Pei Han's eyes flickered slightly. "Yes, my daughter is indeed engaged to the 'Son of the War King'. I am not a person who does not keep my word. Since the two families have an engagement, I should fulfill it."
Pei Han suddenly changed the subject and said sarcastically, "I just didn't expect that the son of the War King would be so shameless and unfaithful to his husband!"
"I accepted him because of the engagement, but I didn't know he was still so fickle and flirting with other women. I am really ashamed of myself!"
"Prince Zhan really raised a good son!"
