C61

This was the first time Xue Ronghua had seen the emperor. From the corner of her eyes, she swept a glance at the Jiu Wu Zun who was seated in front of her. However, due to the restriction of her body that was kneeling on the floor, she could only see a vague outline.

The Emperor sighed tiredly and said, "Stand up." He walked off the desk and came in front of Xue Longhu.

It was only then that Xue Ronghua saw his appearance. Her Majesty was currently tall and slender, with slightly wider features than Chu Zongge, and those cold, threatening eyes held a hint of the vicissitudes of life.

The emperor looked straight into her eyes. "What are you looking at Zhen for?"

Xue Ronghua immediately lowered her head, "This subject thinks that … I feel that the Emperor is very similar to the Prince Duan. "

Xue Longhu saw that the situation wasn't right and tried to smooth things over. "Prince Duan is naturally very similar to the Emperor.

"You think that I'm similar to Prince Duan, but I feel that Prince Duan isn't like me. Is Second Miss Xue trying to please me?"

This emperor really doesn't allow anyone to step down the steps. Xue Ronghua braced herself and said: "This subject's daughter has never seen Prince Duan before, so I can only see the emperor's shadow on his face."

"Un," The emperor's eyes were deep and profound, "You're that quasi wangfei from Prince Duan?"

"Yes."

The emperor smiled faintly. "Raise your head for Zhen to see."

Xue Ronghua slowly raised her head and looked at the Emperor with those cold eyes.

"It's passable, the Prince Duan did not make a mistake."

Xue Ronghua heaved a sigh of relief.

"Prime Minister, do you have any important matters to discuss with me today?"

Xue Longhu, who thought Her Majesty would make things difficult for Xue Ronghua, was still stunned on the spot. When she heard the question, she immediately reacted.

"Oh?"

Xue Longhu took out the Ye Family emblem with both hands in front of the emperor, and said in a deep voice, "Lord Ye intends to assassinate Prince Duan's quasi wangfei."

The emperor's eyes suddenly widened, he coldly looked at Xue Ronghua and asked, "Is this true?"

"This subject does not dare to bully the sovereign. After entering the palace last time to participate in Hundred Blossom Banquet, this subject met a group of bandits halfway down the road, and then, I found the Ye Family token on their bodies."

The emperor was silent for a moment before saying, "How did a weak girl like you escape?"

Xue Ronghua immediately brought Chu Zongge out, "Fortunately, we have Prince Duan with us, so we were able to escape calamity."

"Then is Prince Duan injured?"

Xue Ronghua said gently: "Prince Duan has strong martial arts, and is not injured."

The Emperor nodded reassuringly, then returned to the Dragon Throne.

Xue Ronghua watched as his fingers slowly stroked the Ye Residence medallion, it was unknown what he was thinking at the moment. It was no wonder that in the recent years, Great Qi had always suffered losses a little. Meng Qianzhong no longer had a loyal subject to support him, he would definitely suffer a great deal in the future.

"You," the Emperor suddenly looked at her, "when do you plan to marry the Prince Duan?"

Shouldn't the Emperor's focus not be on the Lord Ye trying to assassinate the quasi wangfei? Xue Ronghua was completely confused by the Emperor's abnormal actions.

"This subject's daughter will see what the Emperor and Prince Duan mean." Xue Ronghua replied respectfully.

"Then you can get married in the spring."

Xue Ronghua and Xue Longhu were both startled. Xue Longhu was still puzzling over how the two of them were talking about the matter of the Ye Residence attempting to assassinate the Princess Duan and how the Emperor was talking about the Prince Duan marrying her wife.

Xue Ronghua was also baffled, she had never discussed the matter of the marriage with Chu Zongge in detail, why did the emperor suddenly decide on their marriage?

The Emperor's eyes darted back and forth between their stiff faces, and his voice was filled with unquestionable authority. "What do you think?"

Xue Longhu secretly glanced at Xue Ronghua from the corner of his eyes. She had no choice but to agree. "Yes."

"Alright," The Emperor threw the insignia onto Xue Longhu's body and said, "Summon the Lord Ye over here."

Xue Ronghua and Xue Longhu looked at each other, then let go of the worry in their hearts.

"Also," the Emperor turned around, his eyes dark, "If you can see the Mrs. Heyi with your own eyes, then you will know how much the Prince Duan looks like her."

Inside the Xinyang Hall, Chu Zongge looked at Xue Ronghua strangely. "Why are you so dispirited today?

Xue Ronghua thought about this and felt that it was strange, "The Emperor asked me a very strange question yesterday."

"Isn't it just the assassination attempt on his Ye Residence? What else can he ask?"

Xue Ronghua said with a stern expression, "The day the Emperor asked me, did you look like him?"

Chu Zongge laughed involuntarily, "What problem is this?"

"Actually, I only feel that you are somewhat similar to His Majesty," Xue Ronghua said. "I just feel that you are the same as the Empress Chen's crown prince."

Chu Zongge laughed: "You aren't trying to say that I'm actually a child of the Empress Chen, right? Then, you're going to consign me to the Mrs. Heyi."

Xue Ronghua was also amused by him, "I think it's possible, if this isn't better, you would be able to become the direct disciple of the crown prince and fight for the throne of the crown prince in a fair and square manner."

"Is that the only question the Emperor asked you?"

"Also, he asked about our wedding date and set a date for next year's spring."

Chu Zongge was startled, this was something he did not expect, "He never asked us about the marriage, why are you suddenly talking about it now, and even set a date for us."

Xue Ronghua shook her head, she did not know what was going on, "I don't know what your Royal Father is thinking either.

"Now that it's already in the middle of the winter and you have yet to completely grasp the Xue Clan, and the crown prince and Prince Jin are also causing a ruckus in the palace, what are you planning to do?"

"What else can we do? Do you have any other methods to delay this?"

Chu Zongge pondered for a while, then said: "Then... Take out the Mrs. Heyi to use. "

Xue Ronghua did not know whether to laugh or cry. Even though the Mrs. Heyi had already become an immortal, she still had to take it out from time to time for the living to use.

"Mrs. Heyi? Who are you going to ask for help? " Xue Ronghua asked.

Chu Zongge hesitated: "I'm preparing to find Noble Consort Kang."

Xue Ronghua was startled, then asked doubtfully: "Will Noble Consort Kang know the profound principles behind it, and will she help you anyway?"

"Last time at the Hundred Blossom Banquet, you should be able to tell that the relationship between the Noble Consort Kang and the Empress was very bad, right?"

Xue Ronghua agreed: "That's only natural."

"Noble Consort Kang doesn't like Empress Chen. Prince Jin and I are on the same boat right now, so why don't you tell me why she didn't help me?"

Xue Ronghua looked at him skeptically. "Are you sure that Noble Consort Kang knows about the relationship between the Mrs. Heyi and the Emperor?"

"The only people in the palace who know about this, other than that eunuch, are probably the Noble Consort Kang and the Noble Consort Kang."

"Then I'll have to seek Prince Jin's help again."

Chu Zongge suddenly looked at her, "Do you think that Prince Jin likes Xue Liuhua?"

"Of course not," Xue Ronghua lightly laughed, "How could Prince Jin like a woman like Xue Liuhua."

"That's true," Chu Zongge sighed. "All of the young masters of various families in the capital know that Xue Liuhua is planning to poison their mother. No matter how beautiful she is, she can't resist the malicious intent hidden in her heart."

Xue Ronghua laughed complacently from the bottom of her heart, "Even if she wasn't the one who killed her mother, Prince Jin would still not have liked her."

"You understand Prince Jin this well?" Chu Zongge laughed sinisterly.

"He once told me that he wants a heroic woman, not a flower peacock like Xue Liuhua."

"Prince Jin would even tell you this." Just as Chu Zongge finished teasing Xue Ronghua, the image of her as a man appeared in her mind.

He suddenly had a bad premonition.

Noble Consort Kang had already been waiting for him at the Crescent Moon Pavilion for a long time.

"Prince Jin dismissed all the servants around, leaving only him and mother behind. mother has invited me here for a reason? "

Noble Consort Kang looked at him with a confused expression, "You went to the Tingxue Building to drink again?"

The Prince Jin cupped his hands and laughed: "Please forgive this mother, but the palace wine is too hard to drink. This son can only go to the people to look for good wine, why isn't the mother in the palace saying that I have to run to such a remote place, the weather is …"

The Noble Consort Kang interrupted him, "There are too many people over at my place, so I can only walk a bit further and have some important words with you."

"Did something happen in the palace?"

Noble Consort Kang coldly said as she rolled up her sleeves, "Xue Longhu has brought Xue Ronghua to the palace to meet him."

The Prince Jin was not very surprised, "The Madam Ye is very ill, Xue Liuhua committed many evil deeds and even carried the crime of murdering her mother, her uncle, the Lord Ye, was greedy for stolen goods, so of course Xue Longhu would act according to his wishes."

"What do you think they're going to say to the Emperor?"

"Naturally, they wanted Royal Father to be the judge for them. It just so happens that Royal Father also wants to correct their Ye Residence a little. Looks like this can be considered a perfect match."

The corner of Noble Consort Kang's mouth twitched a few times, "This Xue Longhu is really crafty, he's facing his own daughter and brother-in-law, and he went straight into the palace."

Prince Jin smiled and did not answer. Such an excellent idea, perhaps Xue Ronghua had thought of it.

"mother didn't call me here today for those people who aren't worried about Ye Residence."

The Noble Consort Kang then said, "The emperor suddenly set a date for the marriage of the Prince Duan and Xue Ronghua."

Prince Jin was startled, then asked randomly: "When?"

"Next year, spring."

"How can they be so fast? Why did the emperor set their wedding date?" The Prince Jin said anxiously.

Noble Consort Kang shook her head in distress.

After calming down, Prince Jin muttered to her, "mother, Prince Duan and the others will be looking for you soon."

Noble Consort Kang was confused, "Why did they come to find me?"

"I guess that since the Prince Duan and the rest weren't prepared for the emperor's arranged marriage, Xue Ronghua didn't completely incorporate her Prime Minister's Mansion into her subordinates, nor did the Prince Duan remove the crown prince from his position as the ruler. The two of them weren't even prepared for such an order when they suddenly received such an order, so the only thing they could do was find another matter to suppress them."

The Noble Consort Kang immediately reacted. "There is only one thing in this world that can suppress the emperor's orders."

"The Luan Feng Palace have been empty for many years. Other than the Royal Father and the Empress Chen, I presume we would have to welcome other guests as well."

"You mean the Prince Duan will come to find me?"

Prince Jin smiled, "Prince Duan would not be so stupid as to look for Empress Chen. Right now, I have an alliance with him, the only thing I can do is look for you."

"Then do I need to help the Prince Duan?"

Prince Jin curled his lips, "When I was young, I even ate pastries from the Mrs. Heyi Palace, so I naturally have to help out with this."

"I am telling Prince Duan that due to the mistake of the Emperor, the entire clan of Liu Family was lost in the battlefield and the Emperor was estranged from the.

"We can't let Prince Duan stand on either side," Prince Jin laughed, "Tell him that Empress Chen caused his death."

Prince Jin walked to the window. The first palace he saw in the distance was the Eastern Palace where the crown prince resided.

"The crown prince should be tired of living in the East Palace for so long. Let the other brothers take a seat."
