During that evening, Zuo Yuan, the vice commanderof the army received an order, an order hard to believe: "What, Concubine wantsto kill her?"

The female official whispered: "Lower your voice,cautious that others will hear!"

Zuo Yuan held his hands behind his back as hesauntered back and forth for a while before he finally stopped. Watching thegorgeous face of the sitting Concubine Zhang De, he said: "Concubine, AnpingXianzhu is someone well-liked by the Emperor. The Empress Dowager also favorsher, and much recently, the Seventh Prince and her......"

Concubine Zhang De's hairpin showed delicatesix-leaves flower and exquisite jade ornament and as she spoke, the longaccessory dropped and gently dangled: "Precisely for Yu er, I can't let herlive."

Zuo Yuan confusedly looked at Concubine Zhang Deand then this biao jie of his quietly smiled like silence dwelling on a sharpdragonfly. It was difficult for others to grasp the swift eloquence amidst hersilence as her voice aroused stacked waves: "Yu-er mentioned to me that hewants to marry her as his main wife."

Zuo Yuan was shocked and revealed an incredible expression. Even thoughLi Wei Yang was Anping Xianzhu, she is still of lower birth, so it's inevitablethat she would be not as highly regarded compared to other xiaojies. If he didmarry her, they're afraid others would laugh at them. The Seventh Prince washigh privileged and so Concubine Zhang De wouldn't like her as herdaughter-in-law. Although she didn't like her, rejection would have beensufficient, why resort to such violent treachery?

Concubine Zhang De sighed and said: "If hethoughtlessly mentioned it, I perhaps would have granted it and let him takeher as his concubine. But he must act serious and assert that he must wed heras his main wife."

Zuo Yuan still didn't understand since Concubine ZhangDe has always been benevolent so why would she give an order like this all of asudden---

The corners of Concubine Zhang De's lips rose toform a chilled smile: "Yu er, this child, I understand him well. He seems easyto get along but he is very stubborn. If I flatly rejected him, he definitelywouldn't give up and would stir up a lot of trouble. So, I promised him andtold him I would find a chance to ask the Emperor to bestow their marriage. Buthow could I let this kind of girl into my family? Li Wei Yang, I met her today.The Emperor had praised her for her intelligence and wits but I personallythink that her failure to show restraints and her domineering attitude aretroubles. Seeing how she just returned to the Li family, she had already stirredup this much trouble with the matriarch. Rumors had been spreading around abouttheir disharmony and how she can't get along with her seniors. In the future, Idon't know how many women will be in Yu er's residence, but think about it, howcould she help Yu er manage his residence in the future? I don't like her so Iwill definitely not allow Yu er to marry her but I can't directly reject, theonly option is to get rid of her."

Zuo Yuan was still a little worried: "Niang niang,there is no need to fuss about this over this yatou, a warning would besufficient."

Warning? Even if she gave Li Wei Yang a warning, what would her own sondo? In Concubine Zhang De's heart, she also had another reason. Because it wasrare to see Tuoba Yu reveal such expressions, when he mentioned Li Wei Yang,his eyes would also be smiling. As his mother, Concubine Zhang De immediatelyknew her son was being serious, a never before seen seriousness, causing her tofeel sincerely dreadful. So, she specially summoned Li Wei Yang to see whatkind of girl she was. If she was gentle and considerate, then she would perhapsconsider keeping her. But she had to be this adamant and hoped for a one truepair of this lifetime for eternity. This kind of woman, what good will it do tomarry her home! If Li Wei Yang doesn't die, Tuoba Yu will indubitably marryher. Rather seeing this happen, why not make up one's mind and get rid of hercompletely.
