Chapter 301 Luo Lingchen Wants to Find Shen Li
A month ago, Luo Lingchen finally received news about Shen Li from Beichen.
It was heard that she had embarked on a journey to Xiqi in search of the "Youmeng Fanhun Flower" accompanied by Shen Shaodong and the guards of Fuxi County Lord's Mansion.
Luo Lingchen immediately entrusted the affairs of state to Luo Lingyun and said solemnly, "Lingyun, now that the domestic situation is stable, I have decided to personally travel to Xiqi to find the 'Youmeng Fanhun Flower' for Shen Li, so that I can also take the opportunity to meet her."
He sighed softly and continued, "I still have many doubts in my heart, and I was unable to ask them thoroughly at the beginning. If I can't get the truth the moment she wakes up, I will never be able to rest in peace. These things have troubled me for five years."
Luo Lingyun was reluctant to take over state affairs, but fortunately, there was nothing urgent at the moment, so he nodded reluctantly and said, "Brother, you must return as soon as possible. I'm really afraid that Miss Zheng will come and bother me."
Upon hearing this, Luo Lingchen frowned and thought to himself: Zheng Feiyan is indeed a tricky problem.
The marriage contract that was originally made to appease the empress has now become a heavy burden.
Although he had never mentioned breaking off the engagement, anyone with a bit of common sense would know that since he had imprisoned the empress and ascended the throne, the previous engagement no longer existed.
In fact, Luo Lingchen had considered his current situation.
Now that he has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, many ministers in the court have advised him to quickly choose a concubine and establish a queen, so as to continue the royal lineage and stabilize the government.
However, for him, he already had someone he loved in his heart, and that was Shen Li. It was difficult for others to catch his eye or win his heart.
Secondly, he hated from the bottom of his heart the scene of the three palaces and six courtyards filled with many women and intrigues, and he did not want to be involved in such a complicated and chaotic harem life. The death of his father was a lesson!
As the biological daughter of General Zheng Xiong, Zheng Feiyan has a huge family power to support her.
At this critical moment when he had just ascended the throne and the situation was not yet completely stable, he knew that it was not a wise move to cancel the engagement rashly. If he was not careful, it might cause a turmoil in the court and arouse dissatisfaction and disputes among various forces.
So, he thought to himself that this matter must be considered carefully and a proper and comprehensive solution must be found that could both cancel the engagement that was giving him a headache and avoid causing turmoil in the court and the military, thus ensuring the long-term stability and smooth development of the country.
Thinking of these troubles, Luo Lingchen sighed softly and said slowly, "If she sends someone to inquire about this marriage again, tell her that I am now fully focused on state affairs and have no time to care about matters of love.
If the ministers in the court also mention the selection of a concubine or marriage, respond in the same way: all related matters will be decided after I return from Xiqi."
Luo Lingyun's face was filled with helplessness. He curled his lips and replied, "Oh, alright. I hope my engagement can be settled when my brother comes back. I don't have any feelings for Zheng Feiyan at all."
Luo Lingchen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. He said softly, "In my opinion, Miss Gu is a girl of good character. You might want to spend more time with her. Perhaps you will discover something new."
Upon hearing this, Luo Lingyun's eyes widened in shock, his face filled with disbelief. He shouted, "What's so good about her? She's always making a fuss, and her behavior lacks the gentleness and grace a woman should have. How can she be pleasing to me?"
Seeing this, Luo Lingchen smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, alright, let's put this matter aside for now and discuss it again when I get back. If you really don't like her, I'll carefully select a suitable woman for you to be your principal wife when I return. If Miss Gu is willing, then let her be a concubine."
After saying this, his expression straightened and he said, "I will immediately arrange for personnel to depart for Xiqi. If you encounter any urgent matters at court, you can discuss them carefully with our former counselor Chen Tong. He is resourceful and will surely help you resolve any difficulties."
