THE REVENGE OF FOX CONSORT
CHAPTER 9. The rumors circulating
The day after, the gossip that Li Chang Ru spread about Li Chang Le was arrested and taken to the brothel spread quickly.
Most of the people of Wei Kingdom doubted whether Chang Le was still peraw*n or not because he had been inside a brothel.
They were very concerned about it because Chang Le was the future crown princess and would later become the Queen of the Kingdom of Wei.
Wei Wu Xian passed on this bad rumor to Queen Wen, Wei Wu Xian's birth mother.
"Mother! I want to break off the engagement with Li Chang Le! An idiot and unholy girl again, it is not worth being the crown princess!" wei Wu Xian.
Queen Wen heard Wei Wu Xian's words with a calm facial expression. From the very beginning Queen Wen did not approve of the engagement between Wei Wu Xian and Li Chang Le, but to maintain her reputation as a wise queen, Queen Wen only silently accepted Emperor Wei's decision back then.
Queen Wen was grateful that General Li Jin's entourage spent two years in the war so that Wei Wu Xian and Chang Le's marriage was delayed.
Queen Wen thought Chang Le's idiot illness could be cured by Physician Huo, but it was all in vain. Meanwhile, the time of General Li Jin's return was so close that Chang Le would become the crown princess.
The incident of Li Chang Le falling into a pool of water and almost dying was known by Queen Wen and now there are rumors about the abduction of Li Chang Le to a brothel making Queen Wen suspect both things exist his relationship with Wei Wu Xian.
"Wu Xian! Li Chang Le was the daughter of General Li Jin. Your engagement to her cannot be undone at will. The Emperor definitely would not allow it," Queen Wen said.
Wei Wu Xian knew that Emperor Wei was unwilling to offend General Li Jin, who had been doing a lot of good to the Wei Kingdom, but Wei Wu Xian was unwilling to give up on persuading Queen Wen.
"Mother! General Li Jin still had another daughter, besides Li Chang Le. The father's decision is unlikely to offend General Li Jin" Wei Wu Xian said.
"Another princess? Li Chang Ru?" ask Queen Wen.
"Yes, mother!" wui Wu Xian replied.
Although Li Chang Le's beauty exceeded Li Chang Ru's dozens of times, but unfortunately the young girl was an idiot so it was inappropriate to be her companion.
Wei Wu Xian was considering Li Chang Ru as a replacement because the young girl was also the daughter of General Li Jin. Besides, Li Chang Ru had always been obedient and obeyed Wei Wu Xian's requests. After all as the crown prince, Wei Wu Xian could choose a more beautiful official daughter than Chang Ru to be made a concubine.
Wei Wu Xian's thoughts were the same as Queen Wen's current thoughts. Queen Wen already had an official daughter candidate who would be made Wei Wu Xian's concubine later.
"alright. I'll go to the Emperor to request the annulment of your engagement to Li Chang Le!" queen Wen said.
"Thank you, mother!" wei Wu Xian said with a bare face.
***Emperor Wei's palace***
"Queen Wen is coming!" The voice of the eunuch on duty echoed within the palace.
Queen Wen stepped on her feet gracefully and paid her respects to Emperor Wei.
"What's up, Queen Wen?" ask Emperor Wei.
Although Emperor Wei had many concubines in the palace, but every night Emperor Wei would definitely visit Queen Wen first.
The sudden arrival of Queen Wen made Emperor Wei convinced that there was something important that Queen Wen wanted to talk about.
"Today rumors circulated in the capital that Li Chang Le was kidnapped and taken to a brothel. Li Chang Le's reputation was already ruined and bad. I want the Emperor to cancel Wu Xian's engagement with him. A dirty girl doesn't deserve to be a crown princess" Queen Wen said at length.
"Is there such an incident?" ask Emperor Wei.
"Yes! Wu Xian came to see me and told me everything" Queen Wen replied.
"Okay, Emperor Wei!" answer the guards obediently.
***
The investigation conducted by the palace guards was very quick and gave all the reports to Emperor Wei. Queen Wen listened carefully.
Queen Wen did not expect it to be Wei Bu Yi who saved Li Chang Le yesterday.
"Li Chang Le was saved by Bu Yi. I'm sure the young girl is still holy. Otherwise, Bu Yi would have reported it yesterday. All the rumors are not true!" emperor Wei.
"Although the rumors were not entirely true, but Li Chang Le's reputation was already damaged. The crown princess must be a holy maiden and her reputation is good" Queen Wen said.
"General Li Jin has done a lot for the Kingdom of Wei. Cancellation of the engagement would have offended him" the Wei Emperor said.
"Li Chang Ru, the second daughter of General Li Jin could replace Li Chang Le betrothed to Wu Xian," Queen Wen proposed enthusiastically.
Emperor Wei was silent for a moment, thinking about Queen Wen's proposal. Although Li Chang Ru was only the daughter of General Li Jin's concubine, but at least General Li Jin's anger over the cancellation of the engagement would subside.
"What about Li Chang Le?" ask Emperor Wei.
Queen Wen who proposed Li Chang Ru to replace Li Chang Le, then Queen Wen should provide an appropriate solution for Li Chang Le.
Of course Li Chang Le could not suffer the consequences of the annulment of this engagement. Otherwise, then Emperor Wei could make sure the people of the Kingdom of Wei would consider him an unwise Emperor.
"Li Chang Le is an idiot and has a bad reputation now. There must be no official son who wants her to be a wife, "inner Queen Wen.
A faint smile adorned at the corner of Queen Wen's lips while getting a perfect and profitable idea of hers.
"This year there is still no official's daughter who was betrothed to Bu Yi. Li Chang Le was the right girl to be the empress of Prince Wei Bu Yi," Queen Wen suggested.
"But Miss Yi….."
Queen Wen interrupted Emperor Wei's words quickly. "Bu Yi, after all, is a prince and must have an empress for the sake of the dignity of the Kingdom of Wei" Queen Wen said.
"All right!" replied Emperor Wei.
Queen Wen smiled broadly at Emperor Wei's words. "Wei Bu Yi! You will fall into the same mud pool as Li Chang Le!" inner Queen Wen.
During this time Queen Wen did not like Wei Bu Yi because Wei Wu Xian had lost heavily to Wei Bu Yi in any case except in terms of being able to give offspring.
Queen Wen deliberately proposed Chang Le to be the consort of Prince Wei Bu Yi, in the hope that Chang Le's reputation would make Wei Bu Yi's reputation bad and low.
