Chapter 191 - Promoting Marriage

In the distance, Xiao Qingqian looked at the two people who held a trace of love in their hearts, and were about to die of jealousy.

He squinted his eyes, and really wanted to rush forward and cut off the hand that was tightly grabbing Wei Qing.

However, he forcefully held it in!

Wei Qing's entire heart was now filled with Chu Yin. If he really did this, it would definitely make Wei Qing hate him even more.

With regards to the current plan, he could only try his best to facilitate the marriage between Chu Yin and Princess He Yue.

He quickly returned to his room and wrote a letter to the dark guard. After giving him a few orders, the dark guard quickly left isolation zone under the cover of the night.

Very quickly, the Emperor of the South Kingdom received this letter.

Chu Yin's performance this time made him feel gratified, but he absolutely did not think that Chu Yin would actually set his eyes on the Princess Chu!

He had heard some news about Wei Qing. Although she was indeed a wondrous woman and he had indeed saved Chu Yin several times, she was still a Princess Chu.

No matter if it was being a concubine or a soulmate, he wouldn't mind. After all, letting Chu Yin be a vassal in the Northern Kingdom for so many years, had indeed made him suffer a lot.

But, this person should not have done it, it should not have been the Princess Chu!

This time, Xiao Qingqian ordered someone to deliver this letter to him. It looked like he was doing his utmost to make the marriage between Chu Yin and Princess He Yue, but it was actually Xiao Qingqian giving him a warning.

After careful consideration, Emperor of the South Kingdom decided to grant the marriage.

The plague that had persisted for so long had finally ended. When the isolation zone's wattled fencing was pushed down, Wei Qing was especially excited.

She thought that she could definitely see Chu Yin waiting outside the wattled fencing. However, he couldn't find his figure for a long time.

She could not help but think that maybe Chu Yin had something important to do, if not he would have appeared.

Xiao Qingqian walked to her side, a deep look of disappointment in his eyes. "You still haven't given up yet?"

Ever since Wei Qing found out that everything was fabricated by Xiao Qingqian, she loved to ignore her. Now that she heard Xiao Qingqian's ear-piercing words, the anger in her chest flared up.

"You don't need to care!" With that, she walked away with a dark expression.

"The combination of the north and south to fight the plague this time is a sign that the relationship between the two countries is getting more and more peaceful. Since we're about to go back, we should say goodbye to the Seventh Prince in front of everyone!"

A suffocating feeling filled Wei Qing's heart. Although in the past few days in isolation zone, she and Chu Yin had not been together all day, but, they were still so close.

She could not bear to part when she thought of how they were about to part.

Xiao Qingqian looked at her figure and thought about what was about to happen. His eyes seemed to be shrouded by a layer of dense fog.

"Alright!" She took a few deep breaths and finally managed to squeeze out a single word.

Before they even went in, Wei Qing noticed that people from the Southern Palace had come.

She frowned and looked at Xiao Qingqian, thinking that perhaps he should return first to the person sent by the Emperor of the South Kingdom to bestow rewards to Chu Yin.

Xiao Qingqian raised his eyebrows and said, "This time, the Seventh Prince will definitely be rewarded. How can this duke and you pretend not to have seen such a matter worthy of celebration?"

As he said that, he held onto Wei Qing's hand and walked in.

The atmosphere in the antechamber was very strange.

The eunuch heard the footsteps and turned to look at Xiao Qingqian and Wei Qing.

Yet, Chu Yin and Chu Tiange had very strange expressions on their faces.

Wei Qing's doubts became even stronger, "Tian Ge, what happened?"

In front of a Southern Goblin Eunuch, Wei Qing could only ask Chu Tiange in a different direction.

Chu Tiange quickly suppressed the confusion in his heart, and looked towards the Southern Palace eunuch, "Eunuch Cheng, you should go and rest first!"

Eunuch Cheng raised his duck voice and looked at Chu Yin with a smile, "This old servant congratulates Prince Qi!"

A huge smile surfaced on Wei Qing's face. To have been conferred the title of Prince Qi, she would definitely be valued in the future. After this event, even Chu Yu would not continue with his assassination.

Chu Yin nodded and received the imperial edict from the Eunuch Cheng.

Eunuch Cheng cast a sidelong glance at Wei Qing, and said with a smile, "The Emperor has great expectations for the Prince Qi, otherwise he would not have granted the marriage to Princess Yue and the Prince Qi!"

These few words seemed to have transformed into thunderclaps that exploded in Wei Qing's mind.

She thought she heard wrongly and was stunned for a long time before she asked Eunuch Cheng what he said just now.

Eunuch Cheng frowned, then repeated the contents of the imperial edict.

Wei Qing's eyes darkened and her body swayed. Luckily, Xiao Qingqian was quick enough to wrap his arms around her waist so she was not knocked down.

"Princess Chu, Princess He Yue is a great genius of our Southern Kingdom!" The Eunuch Cheng laughed.

Chu Tiange looked at the pale-faced Wei Qing, and angrily shouted: "Eunuch Cheng, you're done!"

She faintly felt that this time, Eunuch Cheng was doing it on purpose.

She felt that all of this was definitely related to Xiao Qingqian, if not, why would Xiao Qingqian have done so?

Xiao Qingqian immediately congratulated Chu Yin with a face full of smiles. Chu Yin tightened his fist on the side of his legs, as creaking sounds came from his joints.

He had previously said that he had nothing to do with Princess He Yue, so why would the decree bestowing the marriage appear at this moment?

Wei Qing's mind was in a mess, she just stared straight at Chu Yin with a myriad of words in her heart, but she didn't know what to say.

Chu Tiange was extremely anxious. She really wanted to tell Wei Qing that even if they were to be granted marriage, Seventh Brother would think of a way to refuse it.

After all, Chu Yin only had Wei Qing in his heart!

However, in front of the Eunuch Cheng and Xiao Qingqian, she really couldn't say anything.

Whether it was to Wei Qing or to Chu Yin, their statuses meant that it was impossible for them to act as they pleased, unless they could give up on everything that had happened.

However, after enduring so much pain, Chu Yin definitely would not give up!

As for Wei Qing, if she was willing, she would have definitely agreed to change her identity and return back to the Southern Kingdom with Chu Yin.

Chu Yin was also in a complete mess at this moment. She looked at Wei Qing, and clearly saw the grief and doubt in her eyes …

"Congratulations Prince Qi!" Xiao Qingqian laughed.

Wei Qing's mouth opened and closed a few times, then turned and left.

Chu Yin's mouth moved, but his throat seemed to be choked with something, to the point where he couldn't make a sound.

Xiao Qingqian smiled apologetically at the crowd and chased after him.

When he hugged Wei Qing, Wei Qing went berserk, and started beating Xiao Qingqian with all his might, "Is that you?"

Xiao Qingqian looked at her without blinking, "Wei Qing, your beautiful dream should wake up now, right?"

Wei Qing's gaze turned sluggish, "Is it really related to you?"

"You are this king's wangfei while Chu Yin's wangfei is Princess He Yue. Wake up!"
