Chapter 122 122. The Right Candidate (Part [-])

With a dark face, Duanmu Chen signaled Chang An to back down.

The moment the door was closed, Chang An was not worried about what Duanmu Chen would do to Su Liang on impulse, but worried that Su Liang would be unfavorable to Duanmu Chen.

"Sit." Duanmuchen said.

Su Liang sat down with a calm expression, "Your Highness, Fourth Prince, can we have a good talk now?"

"I don't care what kind of relationship you have with Lin Xueqing, what you want is impossible." Duanmuchen said with a straight face.

Su Liang's eyes narrowed slightly, "It's up to people. As long as the fourth prince is willing, I don't think it's impossible."

"If you came yesterday, even if you came just a moment before I entered the palace, for the sake of our past friendship, we still have something to talk about." Duanmu Chen snorted, "But now, I have asked my father for a marriage decree." , Do you want me to enter the palace again and tell my father that I was just talking nonsense before? Or did I suddenly change my mind in just half a day, and I don’t need to issue the marriage decree? Do you think I can bear the consequences?”

Duanmuchen wanted to marry Lin Xueqing, it had nothing to do with feelings, it was purely for profit and future.

What he is talking about now is also the current embarrassing situation.

If he had never entered the palace to ask for an order, he could naturally assume that nothing had happened.

But the imperial decree was not announced, but in fact it actually happened, and it was not something he could easily cancel if he wanted to give up.

Su Liang frowned, "You need a suitable reason."

Duanmuchen snorted softly, "You tell me, what reason can father understand my erratic behavior?"

Su Liang was silent.

From a practical and rational point of view, she understood Duanmuchen's motive for marrying Lin Xueqing.

As an ambitious prince, his behavior is to strengthen and consolidate his own power, and he has a good vision, choosing a family that is not high in status now but has considerable potential.

But Su Liang couldn't accept it, because the Lin family didn't want to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, and she and Lin Xueqing were friends, and Lin Shuzhi went to her personally for help.

That's why she appeared in front of Duanmuchen.

It is a bit impulsive, but when I calm down, I know that the current predicament is not easy to solve.

It started because of Duanmu Chen, but it doesn't end if he wants to.

What Su Liang mentioned was a deal, so the premise of Duanmuchen's agreement was that it would be beneficial to him, which would be more beneficial than marrying Lin Xueqing.

But the problem is that once he agrees to Su Liang, he will have to bear serious consequences first.

In other words, Su Liang couldn't offer a price that would satisfy Duanmu Chen.

As for this matter, Duanmuchen's behavior cannot be judged simply by right or wrong.As a prince staring at the dragon chair, what he did was very much in his own interest.

Duanmuchen sighed, "Su Liang, don't blame me for not giving you face. At this point, even if you really want to marry me for Lin Xueqing, it's useless."

Su Liang nodded, "I know what you mean. I just want to ask you, if I stop you before entering the palace, will you give me face?"

Duanmu Chen was very straightforward, "If the price you offered at that time satisfied me, it doesn't matter if I sell you some face."

Yes, no.

But can "sell".

Su Liang nodded, "Okay. If I give you a suitable reason for retiring, won't it affect you?"

Duanmuchen narrowed his eyes slightly, "You don't think you want Lin Xueqing to pretend to be sick, do you? Or, what's wrong with her?"

Su Liang didn't say anything, which meant that Duanmu Chen had guessed right.

Duanmu Chen stared at Su Liang, and said angrily, "It's better to let her get sick and not recover for a long time, than to marry me? In your eyes, am I a scourge?"

Su Liang looked calm, "Fourth prince, I thought we were talking about a deal."

Duanmuchen said with a dark face, "If you really want to do that, I can't stop it. If your conditions satisfy me then, I can even cooperate with you in acting. But I hope you won't be so naive, she doesn't want to give I am a side concubine, the next time I attack her, maybe it will be Duanmu Ao."

"It's that simple." Su Liang's eyes turned cold, "It's going to kill you."

Duanmuchen was speechless, "So I still want to thank you for showing mercy to me?"

Su Liang shook her head, "It's not the same thing. I won't think you deserve to die just because the Fourth Prince wants to marry Xueqing. You have your own position, and I'm willing to compensate you for your 'loss' and continue to cooperate in the future."

But Duanmu Ao has a lot of bad deeds, and he has a big enmity with Su Liang.

Duanmu Chen's face turned pale, "The imperial decree of marriage can't be stopped, and you can talk to me about the rest of the matter after you have finished planning."

Su Liang got up and was about to leave when he heard Chang'an's voice from outside the door, "Master, someone is coming from the palace, the emperor ordered the master to enter the palace immediately."

Both Duanmu Chen and Su Liang's expressions changed.

"Your Highness Fourth Prince, please." Su Liang cupped his hands.

Neither she nor Duanmu Chen knew what the emperor had summoned for.

What Su Liang meant was that he hoped that Duanmuchen would play it by ear, and the matter between him and Lin Xueqing would be canceled no matter what.

Duanmu Chen didn't say anything, changed into a coat, and went out.

After he left, Su Liang secretly left the Fourth Prince's Mansion.Originally wanted to see Lin Xueqing, but things are still unclear now, she planned to go home first, and then come to Duanmuchen to inquire about the situation later.

……

Royal Palace.

When Duanmuchen saw the emperor Duanmuyi, he found that the former king of Beijing and now the faithful Hou Xingji was also there.

Duanmu Chen felt that something was wrong.When he came to propose marriage, Xing Ji was there.

After saluting, Duanmu Chen asked in a respectful voice, "I don't know if my father ordered my son to come, what's your order?"

Duanmuyi looked up at Xing Ji, "Lord Zhongxin, tell me!"

Xing Ji turned sideways slightly, facing Duanmu Chen, narrowing his eyes and said, "Earlier today, I left the palace and went back to the mansion. When I met my mother and mentioned the happy event of the fourth prince, I learned that Miss Lin is the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law that my mother favored. "

Duanmu Chen was stunned.This was not what he expected at all.

Xing Ji went on to say, "The dog is wayward, and he said that he would become a monk if he didn't marry Ms. Lin. The humble minister had no choice but to come to ask the emperor for grace."

Duanmuchen never expected that someone who would steal a woman from him would be Zhongxinhou's mansion who should keep a low profile now!

Although Xing Ji said that his mother and son forced him, since he is standing here and saying these words, it means that he believes that the undisclosed marriage decree can be withdrawn, and it would be better for Lin Xueqing to marry his son!
For a while, Duanmu Chen began to wonder whether Xing Ji had any brains, or had the courage of a bear and a leopard. He really thought that Duanmuyi would not dare to kill him.

But on second thought, Duanmuchen felt that Xing Ji's move might not have been intentional.He is very straightforward, showing no twists and turns, just like when he had no military power and went to war alone, he was not afraid to expose his strength and courage.

However, no matter how potential the Lin family had, Lin Xueqing, a woman, was not worth paying attention to in Duanmu Yi's eyes.

Just when Duanmuchen began to guess what Duanmuyi was thinking, Duanmuyi said, "Xing Aiqing is filial to her son, I can understand it. But if a family wants to beg, one must come first. After all, the Xing family has no marriage contract with the Lin family. However, I have promised to give Chen'er a marriage. This matter is up to Chen'er!"

Duanmu Chen's heart skipped a beat!
"If Chen'er is willing to part with her, I will be happy to fulfill Prince Xing. But if Chen'er is not willing, Xing Aiqing should stop talking!" Duanmu Yi said.

"Yes." Xing Ji nodded.

Duanmu Chen was not sure whether Duanmu Yi wanted him to persevere or let him give up, but he was sure that Xing Ji was definitely not invited by Su Liang, and even Su Liang didn't know that the Xing family would do such a thing.

But as long as he gives up this marriage, it means "selling" Su Liang's face.

Whether Su Liang is satisfied with Xing Yusheng's marriage to Lin Xueqing and whether he will negotiate with Xing Yusheng again has nothing to do with Duanmu Chen.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Chen respectfully said, "Father, my son is willing to fulfill the loyal and trustworthy Prince Hou and Miss Lin."

Duanmu Yi didn't show any emotion on his face, "It's so good. I will marry Mr. Xing and Miss Lin."

Xing Ji knelt down to thank him.

Duanmu Yi looked at Duanmu Chen again, "The second child was attacked and injured at the back of the Huguo Temple. This matter is entrusted to you. You must find out the real culprit."

After Duanmuchen accepted the task with mixed feelings, he left the palace with Xing Ji.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Fourth Prince, for making this happen." Xing Ji said.

Duanmu Chen shook his head, "It's the father who is sympathetic to the loyal and trustworthy prince."

When he was about to leave the palace gate, Duanmuchen said suddenly, "Father ordered me to investigate the attack on the second emperor brother. I heard that Prince Xing was also in Huguo Temple at that time. Please go back and ask Prince Zhongxin if Prince Xing has any clues. , be sure to let me know."

Xing Ji responded, and the two left separately.

Sitting in the carriage, Duanmuchen rubbed his forehead, "Chang'an, make a list of those who have been to Huguo Temple today and are ranked first. I just sold Su Liang to save face, and the benefits are still confiscated. I can't sell her to you." I have to find a suitable person for the job, who must be good at martial arts, and may conflict with Duanmu Ao."

Changan, who was driving the car, was moved in his heart, "This subordinate thinks of a candidate!"

"Who?" Duanmu Chen asked.

Chang'an lowered his voice, "Miss Nian, Nian Ruxue, she was in Huguo Temple at that time. Recently, it has been rumored that she will participate in this martial arts competition, so she will naturally know martial arts, although we have never seen it. The second prince is in Huguo Temple. At the back of the temple, I met Miss Nian who was looking at the scenery alone, and wanted to do something wrong, Miss Nian had no choice but to resist in order to protect her innocence, and fled after hurting the second prince."

Duanmu Chen chuckled, "It sounds really reasonable."

"But Miss Su is the second prince who sneak attack? If the second prince sees the color, Miss Su hits him. Doesn't the second prince know who hurt him best?" Chang An said.

Duanmuchen snorted softly, "Do you think Duanmu Ao hasn't woken up yet? Father naturally knew he was awake, and he must have said that he didn't know who did the sneak attack, so he needed to investigate."

Chang An suddenly realized, "That's right! The second prince must have a ghost in his heart, and he didn't dare to let the emperor know!"

Duanmu Chen's eyes were deep, "The real culprit is tentatively determined to be Nian Ruxue, so look for evidence and witnesses. Su Liang owes me one more time."
