Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Double Happiness for Feng Bailing
Nalan Yan'er never expected to hear Dugu Wu say such things to another woman in person.
Just three years, and he had changed his heart.

Was he going to marry a woman like Bai Ling, who had nothing noteworthy about her?
She must not let their marriage happen!
Nalan Yan'er thought of several people who had grudges against Bai Ling, planning to use them well.
Outside the side hall, Dugu Wu's heartfelt words were moving.
Among the women present, even Noble Princess Consort Xiao couldn't help but be touched.
It was also the first time Feng Xiangxue clearly saw what Dugu Wu looked like; he was even more outstanding than the Seventh Prince.
Such a person, he actually wants to marry Bai Ling?
But then again, he is impotent and disabled, having just lost his power, and Bai Ling marrying him would only bring ridicule. He has also jinxed three previous princess consorts to death; it was questionable if Bai Ling would even live to marry him.
Thinking of these, Feng Xiangxue suddenly felt pleased.
"You two are mutually in love, I will approve your marriage. Someone, help Dugu into the house and take good care of him."
Emperor Yongye, however, was secretly observing Bai Ling. Although he was Bai Ling's uncle, Emperor Yongye wasn't particularly close to her.
Bai Ling's mother was Princess Yong'an, the late Emperor's youngest and most favored daughter, and her mother came from the married-off princess of the Beiqi Dynasty, with the current monarch of Beiqi still being blood-related to Bai Ling.
Beiqi and Great Chu had been at war for many years; despite having treaties, they gleefully engaged in both open and covert conflicts, with Beiqi spies constantly infiltrating Chu Country.
The former Bai Ling was foolish and plump, nothing like the royal family. She was infatuated with Dongfang Li and bothered the Empress Dowager to bestow her marriage, which was why the Emperor did not favor her.
Emperor Yongye didn't even remember what Bai Ling looked like, only knowing her appearance was dreadful, which caused Dongfang Li to despise her.
But today, Bai Ling's performance made Emperor Yongye see her in a new light; that dance was exquisite.
Thinking about how his sons were again causing troubles in the dark, and the issue with Beiqi... Emperor Yongye was extremely frustrated.
Noble Princess Consort Xiao stepped forward attentively, yet received a stern look from Emperor Yongye.
"Bai Ling, you attend to me."
Overwhelmed with favor, Bai Ling asked Dugu Xiaojin to accompany Dugu Wu while she followed Emperor Yongye to the Imperial Study.
Feng Xiangxue watched, full of jealousy. Being summoned by the Emperor was such an honor, but the Emperor's mind was hard to predict; one wrong word from Bai Ling and no one could save her.
An hour passed, Bai Ling stood by in the Imperial Study.
Emperor Yongye was reviewing documents.
"Today's assassin, it has been confirmed as a spy from Beiqi."
Finally, Emperor Yongye's deep voice reached her ears.
Bai Ling's heart skipped a beat.
The assassin had already been executed, even if there were doubts, there couldn't be concrete evidence; Emperor Yongye must be trapping her.
He suspected her of colluding with Beiqi, planning today's assassination as a deviant scheme to save him.
All manner of thoughts flashed through her mind, and abruptly she looked up and blurted out,
"Uncle!"
"How dare you!"
Chief Eunuch Li Qing, serving by Emperor Yongye, scolded.
"Indeed, you are my niece."
Emperor Yongye tossed the document, his face showing a hint of sigh.
This child also shares the same blood as him, if only a fraction.
He had already planned to get rid of the Yong'an Princess Mansion; Li disliked Bai Ling, and he didn't want to mistreat his own son, just waiting to find the secret order...
But now, Bai Ling saved the Empress Dowager and called him 'uncle'.
"You, as a member of the royal family, should share the worries of the dynasty. Do you know why I am willing to bestow the marriage between you and Dugu Wu?"
Emperor Yongye's words made Bai Ling's back break out in goosebumps.
This is the nature of the supreme ruler.
"This humble royalty dares not presume the thoughts of the monarch."
Bai Ling spoke loudly.
"Minister Feng has taught your brothers and sisters well. I admire you, so I'm bestowing this marriage upon you. Marry into the Prince Mansion quickly and take good care of Dugu, should anything happen to him, inform me immediately. Of course, I will also help oversee the Princess' Mansion."
Emperor Yongye's voice was gentle, making him seem like a compassionate monarch.
But upon hearing this, Bai Ling felt as if a bucket of ice water was poured over her, chilling to the bone.
Bai Ling thought of Feng Zhanlian.
The Emperor's bestowing her marriage was like Feng Zhanlian's previous marriage to the Princess' Mansion.
She became the second Feng Zhanlian, monitoring everything about Dugu Wu.
Although she had lived again in this lifetime, Bai Ling didn't understand until today how Feng Zhanlian, a mere son-in-law, managed to commit outrages in the Princess' Mansion, with the Princess' mother helpless against him.
At this moment, she understood.
The real reason Feng Zhanlian dared to favor concubines over his wife, ruining the Princess' Mansion, was not because of Dongfang Li, but the Emperor of Great Chu before her.
The Princess' Mansion deserved death, as their blood was of the enemy nation.
Bai Ling respectfully acknowledged, and Emperor Yongye nodded contentedly.
"Li Qing, draft the decree. For Bai Ling's meritorious deeds in saving the dowager, endowed with both virtue and talent, confer the title of Princess Shengping, reward a hundred taels of gold, and fifty palace silks."
Taking the sacred decree, Bai Ling sneered internally; it seemed she and Dugu Wu had become a difficult couple, given Emperor Yongye's scheming against the Princess' Mansion, she had to cure Dugu Wu!
