C147 Canceled

The next morning.

Mu Ming had left early to go to the imperial court and the officials of a hundred were waiting for the Emperor in front of the throne room.

Seeing that Mu Ming's expression was not good, Xuanyuan Zhan went over to Mu Ming's side and asked, "Are you not feeling well today?"

Seeing him like that, Xuanyuan Zhan felt weird in his heart, and he also smelt the scent of blood on his body. He suspected in his heart, and asked: Who were you hurt by? Have you caught the culprit? "

Mu Ming looked at Xuanyuan Zhan and shook his head. He didn't know what to say to Xuanyuan Zhan.

Xuanyuan Zhan was even more suspicious, could it be that he had been injured by Shangguan Qinger?

And then, he recalled what his father did in the Imperial Garden a few days ago. He understood what was going on, and was somewhat dissatisfied with the matter.

However, he didn't know how to explain it.

The reason why royal father had done all of this was because he was afraid the princes would form their own camp and usurp the power to kill the monarch.

Even if the prince had his own intentions, no one would be willing to take the initiative to attack him when his master was nameless. It was just a covert self-destruction, not to mention that there was a person in the storehouse right now. Even if he was concerned about the throne, it should still be because he was concerned about it.

Thinking about it this way, Xuanyuan Zhan couldn't think of what the emperor had done for a while.

Not to mention that Mu Ming was from his old tribe. This unintentionally raised his status and made it seem like a big tree that attracted the wind …

"The imperial court!" When the eunuch announced this, Xuanyuan Zhan had no choice but to stop what he was thinking.

For example, Feng Yu had not seen Shangguan Qinger for a few days already, and today, Xuanyuan Zhan and Mu Ming did not rest. Yesterday, she sent someone over to visit Shangguan Qinger.

The palanquin stopped in front of the Mu Estate. Feng Yu was being supported by a servant girl from the Mu Estate as she got off the palanquin.

"Princess, be careful." The maid spoke softly. Feng Yu carefully sized up the maid, but felt that something was wrong. However, she couldn't say what was wrong.

Under the guidance of the maidservant, they walked within the Mu residence. Everyone had strange expressions on their faces as they respectfully greeted Feng Yu.

Although Feng Yu was already used to people acting in such a manner, she felt that these people's respect was not from the bottom of their hearts, but rather … Do you still have more to ask for?

Feng Yu was startled by the word that had suddenly appeared in her mind, but something had happened.

"Miss Shangguan, the Battle Princess is here." The servant came in to inform Shangguan Qinger.

Shangguan Qinger only responded when she heard her, and then she realised what was going on, after taking care of herself for a bit, she went out.

"What happened to you today?" While Feng Yu and Shangguan Qinger were talking, she realized that she was completely distracted. The glimmer of tears in Shangguan Qinger's eyes, was enough to scare Feng Yu.

"Qing Er? What's wrong with you? " Feng Yu went closer to Shangguan Qinger, and then signaled the maids to leave with a meaningful glance. "You can talk it out with me. Tell me, if someone bullies you, I will avenge you!"

Feng Yu couldn't bear to see her good friend being humiliated by others. Furthermore, she was currently in the Mu Estate, so even if Mu Ming talked about her with him, she would definitely seek justice for Shangguan Qinger.

"Feng Yu …" Shangguan Qinger couldn't help but sob after hearing Feng Yu's words, "Feng Yu!" Shangguan Qinger wailed in Feng Yu's arms.

"Elder Brother Mu... Elder Brother Mu has betrayed me! He despises me for not having any background, but wants to marry the princess! " However, Shangguan Qinger's words caused Feng Yu to be even more shocked.

"What?" Qing Er, explain everything to me clearly. What exactly happened? "

Feng Yu held Shangguan Qinger up and looked her straight in the eye. When she saw Shangguan Qinger's eyes turn red and lose her image, she felt extremely pained in her heart.

Feng Yu resented Mu Ming in her heart. She didn't know what Mu Ming had done to Shangguan Qinger that made her so sad, but back then, she had sworn thousands of times that she would treat Shangguan Qinger well, and that was why she gave Shangguan Qinger to him. And now, she was taking such care of her?

Feng Yu's anger reached its peak, but because she didn't know what had happened, she couldn't say anything.

"Yesterday, an eunuch came to the palace, saying that he wanted to give the Elder Brother Mu an imperial decree. According to the maids, the imperial decree was that the Emperor would betroth the princess to the Elder Brother Mu … At first, he did not accept the Elder Brother Mu, but somehow, he agreed to it later on … Phoenix Feather … Say, could it be that he thought of the great disparity between me and that princess, so he didn't want me anymore … He … "How can he be like this …"

When Shangguan Qinger said this, she started sobbing.

When Feng Yu heard this, she understood why the servants of the Mu residence treated him with such an attitude. It seemed that they were all waiting for her to persuade this person.

When Feng Yu heard Shangguan Qinger say that Mu Ming had originally rejected him, and had even agreed to it later on, she was somewhat assured in her heart.

It was probably because of this imperial edict.

"Qing Er, if you trust me, then listen to me." Feng Yu understood the reason behind this, and tried to persuade Shangguan Qinger not to be so sad.

"Go ahead."

Shangguan Qinger tried her best to control her emotions as she sat up straight and looked at Feng Yu.

"Do you know that those who disobey the decree say that?"

Feng Yu looked at Shangguan Qinger, and understood after seeing him shake his head, "The imperial edict was passed down by the emperor, so this edict represents the emperor's decree. If Mu Ming rejected the marriage bestowed upon him by the emperor to the princess, it would mean disobeying the edict, and this imperial edict would be a great sin to exterminate the nine great clans."

Seeing Shangguan Qinger's change in expression, Feng Yu did not cry anymore. In her heart, she knew why she was telling her this.

"Then... Then must Elder Brother Mu marry that princess? " When Shangguan Qinger heard Feng Yu's words, how could she not know what Mu Ming meant … Earlier, he had refused because of him.

And then she accepted it, because of this sin …

Even though Mu Ming's parents had both died, there was still someone else at home. He alone couldn't cause so many people to die, so he had no choice but to sacrifice himself …

"Today, I'll go back and discuss it with Xuanyuan Zhan. I'll see if there's any way to have His Majesty retract this idea …"

Feng Yu still had something on her mind, but she didn't know whether or not she should say it while looking at Shangguan Qinger. Shangguan Qinger looked at Feng Yu, and knew what else she wanted to say. "If there's anything else, just speak your mind, and how can you make such a gesture?"

"Mu Ming's way of doing things is also done with good intentions, but I'm afraid of you …" "It was a disaster." When Feng Yu said this, it made Shangguan Qinger puzzled.

"What do you mean? How could I be in trouble? " Shangguan Qinger looked at Feng Yu, not understanding what she was saying.

"If the Emperor knew that Mu Ming wanted you to reject the imperial edict, he would have sent someone to take your life even if you weren't from the Nine Clans." When Feng Yu said this, she saw that Shangguan Qinger was already in a good mood and was in a bad mood.

"What happened to you?"

Feng Yu didn't understand why Shangguan Qinger was crying. Shangguan Qinger just shook her head and used the handkerchief to cover her mouth as tears rolled down.

"Yesterday... When I heard the news, I was so angry that I hurt him with my sword. "I didn't expect him to think this way for me …" Shangguan Qinger thought back to yesterday … But in his heart, he was extremely upset …

When Feng Yu heard this, she could only say that Mu Ming was a fool.

After Xuanyuan Zhan left the imperial court, he went to find Mu Ming. Today, the emperor mentioned about bestowing a marriage in the imperial court, and although some people objected, there were also people who agreed with the emperor.

Xuanyuan Zhan looked at Mu Ming and saw that he was gloomy. He also knew why Mu Ming was thinking about it, "You can go back and have a good talk with Miss Shangguan. I'll help you guys think of a way for now. If things can turn for the better, don't hurt the relationship between the two of you, you brat, don't be so stupid, and when you should speak, don't hesitate to not speak, until the other lady thinks too much, if Miss Shangguan is angered by you into leaving, don't come looking for Yu Er and I, we will not care about you. "

Mu Ming heard Xuanyuan Zhan's words and knew that he said it for his own good, so he casually agreed. But how was he going to explain it to Shangguan Qinger?

Yesterday, she heard the servants say that she hadn't eaten anything, and this morning, she also heard that she didn't seem to have rested well throughout the night, only that she was crying from time to time … Hearing this, Mu Ming's heart hurt, but there was nothing he could do.

Even though he had said it himself … She was probably going to do something else …

Seeing him like this, Xuanyuan Zhan knew that he still had his own considerations, and did not say anymore.

Upon arriving at the palace gates, he bowed and left.

Mu Ming saw Xuanyuan Zhan leaving, but he was actually envious of him and Feng Yu in his heart. However, he himself … Sigh …

After Xuanyuan Zhan returned to the residence to change clothes, he went to look for Feng Yu. Seeing Feng Yu's anxious expression, she understood in her heart, but she did not say it for the time being.

Seeing him return, Feng Yu invited Xuanyuan Zhan to sit. Xuanyuan Zhan sat on the small flat ground and looked at Feng Yu, "What is it?"

"Today, I went to the Mu Manor to look for Qing Er. I heard from Qing Er that Mu Ming had been bestowed a marriage with the Emperor and had been chosen as her consort." Feng Yu looked at Xuanyuan Zhan, his face filled with worry. He was worried for his friend in his heart, "Do you know about this?"

"When royal father was in the main hall today, he also mentioned this matter. The various officials have different opinions, and royal father's attitude is also rather ambiguous. However, I'm afraid this matter will not be so easily resolved."

Xuanyuan Zhan only found out about this matter today. Although he was aware that the Imperial Garden had set up an arena, Mu Ming could not be considered outstanding back then.

"This Mu Ming was originally your old branch. If the Emperor were to raise him up to be your consort, wouldn't that be praising you?" Available... Shouldn't the Emperor want to suppress you? "

Feng Yu brought up the thought in her heart, but Xuanyuan Zhan didn't think much of it after hearing it.

"Even though Mu Ming belongs to my old clan, my royal father's actions are still a test for us. Let's see if we form a alliance. If praising Mu Ming is praising me, then I will be teaming up with Mu Ming. This way, Royal Father will have a reason to control me. But if Mu Ming and I were not friends, royal father could accept Mu Ming as his trusted aide and control the army without fear of princes. "

Xuanyuan Zhan said, and then said after thinking: "Tomorrow, I will go and see what Jing Er is thinking. Royal Father doted on her, so if she was able to break through, this marriage would have a huge chance of being annulled. "
