Jie a husband is too arrogant

Chapter 133 Choice
It was night, Princess Yulong came out from the concubine's room, and as soon as she went out, she saw King Yunnan standing on the porch, as if waiting for her.

"What's the matter with father?" Yulong stepped forward with dignified eyes.

"Is your mother asleep?" Xia Cang asked.

"Yes, I fell asleep after drinking the medicine. Since Huan'er came back, my mother is in a good mood, even if I don't take the medicine, I can sleep peacefully for a night!" Yulong said happily.

"En!" Xia Cang nodded slightly, and suddenly asked, "Long'er, I will ask you again for my husband, what do you think of Prince Rui?"

Under the shadow of the lamp, the woman's ears were slightly red, and she said in a low voice, "Prince Rui is graceful, dignified and noble, he must be the master of Daliang in the future!"

"Then are you willing to marry him?" Xia Cang smiled.

Yulong raised her head in astonishment, "What does father mean?"

"As a father, I only ask if you are willing or not? You look down on Prince Zhao, and you are so optimistic about Prince Rui, how about marrying you into Prince Rui's residence as a father?"

Yulong lowered her eyes and said, "Long'er's marriage is up to my father!"

Xia Cang stroked his beard and smiled, "As a father, I know you are happy!"

Yulong lowered her eyes shyly, "I just don't know what His Royal Highness Prince Rui thinks?"

"Don't worry, Long'er, he will definitely agree!" Xia Cang said almost confidently.

Emperor Zhaoping did not go to court for three consecutive days, and there was great chaos in the court, and there were many discussions. The Bai Gonggong who passed the decree was surrounded, and they all asked to meet the emperor.

During the chaos, King Zhao stood up and said, "Ministers, don't panic. I just saw my father yesterday. After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, my father is already much better, and I should be able to go to court tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan glanced at Xiao Lie meaningfully.

Xiao Lie's face was dull and he didn't say a word.

Hearing that the emperor will be able to go to court tomorrow, all the officials calmed down a little, stopped making noise, and went to their respective jobs.

Yao Ting and Zhang Yuan went out of the palace together, only waiting to see the emperor tomorrow!

Now the situation seemed to be deadlocked at one point, King Zhao didn't dare to act rashly, they guessed King Zhao's next move and were ready to deal with it, but they didn't see any movement from him.

This is even more frustrating!

The day passed quickly, and the next morning, all the ministers arrived half an hour earlier than usual and waited outside the palace gate. As soon as the palace gate opened, hula rushed forward.

It seems that if you are one step too late, you will not be able to see the emperor.

I usually feel a little lazy when I go to court on time every day, but after a few days of not going to court, I immediately become active.

The door of the Zhenggan Hall was wide open, and all the officials stood in order according to their ranks, and walked inside nervously and excitedly all the way.

The emperor will not go to court for a few days, and everyone has their own guesses in their hearts.

All the ministers stood up, and heard Eunuch Bai screaming loudly, "The emperor is here!"

"Congratulations to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

All the ministers bowed down and shouted in unison.

Emperor Zhaoping came in from the side door, and with the support of Eunuch Bai, he got on the dragon chair and sat down, with a weak voice, "Everyone is flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the officials kowtowed and stood up, lowered their heads, Zhang Taifu, Zhang Yuan, Yao Ti and others looked up impatiently.

Emperor Zhaoping's face turned slightly pale, and he looked at them meaningfully.

"Start playing if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do!" Eunuch Bai sang loudly.

A few ministers came out and announced some local affairs. Emperor Zhaoping seemed very tired and was quite different from usual.

Seeing that the time had come, Yao Ting and Zhang Yuan came forward to report the case of Xie Shijun, when they heard Emperor Zhaoping get up and say, "I am not feeling well. I will be here this morning, all you gentlemen, please go back!"

Zhang Yuan and the others were startled, and looked up to see Emperor Zhaoping's face was ugly, and his voice began to weaken, Eunuch Bai hurriedly stepped forward to help the emperor down.

Xiao Lie's brows turned cold, and when he was about to step forward, he saw Emperor Zhaoping turning his head and shaking his head slightly at him.

Xiao Lie stopped there immediately.

Everyone knelt down and respectfully sent Emperor Zhaoping off. Xiao Jing lowered his head, with a sneer on his lips.

With the help of Eunuch Bai, Emperor Zhaoping returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. As soon as he entered the hall, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xiao Jing followed up from behind, took out a pill and handed it to Eunuch Bai, fed it to Emperor Zhaoping, and said with a smile, "Father Huang just performed very well, and I am very satisfied!"

After taking the medicine, Emperor Zhaoping took a short rest, and his face became better. He sneered and said, "Jinger, I never knew that you have such vicious thoughts!"

He had given himself the poison that would explode within half an hour. If he had said something earlier in the morning, or let Xiao Lie and others come up to rescue him, even if he only delayed half a stick of incense, he would have died from the poison!

"My son was also forced to do nothing. It's because the emperor's ministers are too tight, so I can't make such a bad move, and let my father feel wronged!" Xiao Jing said with a smile on his face, and asked, "Father still refuses to tell where Yuxi is? If you tell me, why would you suffer all this?"

Emperor Zhaoping lay back on the bed, closed his eyes and said nothing.

Xiao Jing's face turned cold, "Then let's spend it, and see if the emperor can spend it!"

After finishing speaking, he told Eunuch Bai to take good care of Emperor Zhaoping, then turned around and walked out.

In Prince Rui's residence, several ministers were sitting in the study, all of them had serious expressions.

"The situation of the emperor is not good!" Zhang Yuan said.

"King Zhao dared to let the emperor show his face, he has nothing to fear! The emperor must have been poisoned, so he has no choice but to cooperate with Xiao Jing!" Yao Ting analyzed.

"I heard that the Empress Dowager visited the Hall of Mental Cultivation yesterday, but the Emperor didn't see her either."

"King Zhao and Jin Sheng covered the sky with one hand and controlled the inner palace, which is really worrying!"

Zhang Yuandao, "At this time, it seems that Xie Shijun's evidence cannot be submitted to the emperor. If it is handed over, it will fall into the hands of King Zhao. We will be more passive!"

"Yes!" Yao Zhi nodded, "Until we are fully sure, we must not act rashly!"

Xiao Lie's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice, "This king has already discussed with General Nangong. If there is any change, he will rush into the palace immediately!"

"It is almost certain that the emperor has been held hostage. King Zhao's next step is to make himself a prince, so that he can be justified." Zhang Yuan didn't say the second half of the sentence, but everyone understood.

As long as King Zhao made himself the crown prince, and the emperor passed away after that, he could justifiably ascend the throne as the emperor.

"Why has King Zhao remained silent? What is he waiting for?" Yao Ting asked.

"Yuxi!" Xiao Lie said, "Xiao Jing didn't find Yuxi!"

Everyone was stunned, and their hearts relaxed a little, as long as Xiao Jing can't find Yuxi, at least the emperor is safe.

Everyone discussed for a while, and each left, only Yao Ting stayed.

"Your Highness, the matter is urgent and there is no need to delay any longer! King Zhao will not wait any longer. He must make some moves in the past few days. He has not been able to find the jade seal. The next step may be to win over the King of Yunnan. Only you married Princess Yulong King Zhao will not act rashly because he cares about the king of Yunnan. The king of Yunnan has been staying in Shengjing to marry Princess Yulong to the court. If you don’t marry, the king of Yunnan will choose King Zhao. , King Zhao is like a tiger with wings added, then things will be even more difficult!"

Xiao Lie lowered his brows and said, "This king has said that he will not marry Princess Yulong!"

"Think twice, Your Highness, if it continues, not only will the emperor's life be in danger, but also Concubine Rong Gui and the Queen Mother will be in danger! If King Zhao becomes the crown prince, he will not let His Highness go!"

Xiao Lie's long eyes were cold, "If Xiao Jing dares, I will take his head!"

"Your Highness is so resolute, there must be someone he wants to marry, but that Miss Su Jiu from Qiao An's family?" Yao Ting asked with his head down.

Xiao Lie sneered, "You really did find out about this king!"

"Your Highness, forgive me! In fact, I don't need to investigate. Your Highness often goes to Qiao An's house. It is impossible to always find Qiao An. He must go to the girl in his house. But has your Highness ever thought about it? Gaining power, not only His Highness is in danger, but Miss Su is also doomed!"

Xiao Lie turned his head suddenly, his brows sank, he knew that Xiao Jing had sent someone to assassinate Su Jiu before.

"So, whether it's for the sake of the emperor, the imperial concubine, or Miss Su, His Highness must not give up the crown prince. The most important thing right now is to win over King Yunnan, and Xia Cang must not be allowed to join King Zhao!"

"Could it be that if this king doesn't marry Princess Yulong, the king of Yunnan will seek refuge with the traitor?" Xiao Lie sneered.

"But now no one dares to say that King Zhao is a traitor. For the past two days, the King of Yunnan has not even asked about the emperor's affairs, and has been staying behind closed doors. Doesn't His Highness understand this attitude? He is forcing His Highness to make a choice!"

Yao Ting said in a heavy voice, knelt on the ground, his weather-beaten face moved slightly, "Your Highness, I beg you, put the overall situation first, and marry Princess Yulong first!"

Xiao Lie closed his eyes, and there was a thick layer of heaviness between his brows.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door, Ding Fei walked in and said, "Your Highness!"

"Say!" Xiao Lie said hoarsely.

"Just now, the insiders of the palace came to report that they could not get close to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Both inside and outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation have been heavily surrounded by the forbidden army. Even the servants serving as substitutes for the emperor are already pretending to be the imperial army. Moreover, Jin Sheng is sitting outside the palace in person!"

Jin Sheng has high martial arts skills and few enemies, otherwise he would not have been selected as the commander of the imperial army.

Xiao Lie frowned fiercely, "Is there no other way?"

Ding Fei said solemnly, "Yes, all the methods have been used. The forbidden army is very strict. Even the people who go in to deliver meals are forbidden soldiers. No one is allowed to approach!"

Since Xiao Jing has already done it, it is natural to do it in an airtight way, and even a single mistake will ruin his achievements.

What's more important is that there are people like Jin Sheng around him planning for him.

Jin Sheng was able to lurk in the palace for ten years and was trusted by Emperor Zhaoping. One can imagine his scheming.

"Your Highness! We can't wait any longer. If this continues, if King Zhao finds Yuxi or joins hands with King Yunnan, the Emperor will be in danger! Even if Your Highness has no intention of taking the throne, please remember the love between father and son, mother and child, and the love between mother and child." The overall situation is the most important thing!" Yao Ting knelt on the ground and said clangingly.

Xiao Lie clenched his palms slowly, with painful entanglements hidden in his bottomless eyes, as if he was making the most difficult decision in his life.

"Your Highness, you and that Miss Su will have a long time to come. If she knows the difficulties His Highness is facing in the future, she will definitely understand His Highness!"

"Your Highness, if the world is controlled by King Zhao, can Your Highness still be sure to protect the one you love?"

"Your Highness!"

Xiao Lie's mind was buzzing, as if being pulled by a tight string, every nerve in him was in excruciating pain, as if it was going to tear his whole body apart.

Yao Ting's words kept bumping back and forth in his head, he knew what he said was right, but if he married Princess Yulong, would his Ah Jiu forgive him?

But if he doesn't marry, will she be implicated by him and have no peace now?

Ah Jiu,

Ah Jiu!

Xiao Lie closed his eyes in pain, and the string, which was pulled tightly, suddenly broke with a buzzing sound!

After a while, the man said slowly, "Go and tell the king of Yunnan, the king agrees!"

Yao Ting raised his head in surprise, "Yes! Your Majesty will take the place of civil and military officials, and the people of the world. Thank you, Your Highness!"

After Yao Ting finished speaking, he got up and went out excitedly.

Standing there, Ding Fei looked at the pale Xiao Lie, and seemed to feel his grief.

"Your Highness!" Ding Fei frowned and wanted to say something to comfort him, but he couldn't say anything, it was all in vain.

Xiao Lie's voice was full of sadness, and he let out a melancholy laugh, the laughter broke his heart,

"My concubine is right, as a prince, I don't have the right to give up the throne!"

Giving up means giving up your own life and the life of your loved one!

His life can be given up, but Ah Jiu's life cannot be given up, so he can't afford to lose!

In the afternoon, Su Jiu was taking a nap. When she woke up, the sun had already slanted, and she found Xiao Lie sitting on the edge of the couch, looking at her deeply with deep eyes with emotions she couldn't understand.

Seeing that she was awake, he hurriedly brought over the coat and put it on her back.

Su Jiu was sleepy in her pajamas, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, why didn't you wake me up?"

Xiao Lie's handsome face was gentle, and there was no abnormality on her face. She raised her hand and brushed her loose hair behind her ears. She seemed to want to say something, and then said after a while, "Ah Jiu, I want you to do it for me. one thing!"

With pure eyes, Su Jiuqing nodded and said, "Say it!"

"Help me go to Fuyang. The prefect of Fuyang colluded with local merchants to collect money for King Zhao. You go and help me find evidence. This matter is secret, and I don't trust others, so I have to let you go!" Xiao Lie said softly.

"Is this what the emperor meant, or what you meant?" Su Jiu asked.

Su Jiu also knows a thing or two about the faction between the court and the Chinese party. If it is Xiao Lie's own intention, it means that the relationship between him and Xiao Jing has reached a point of incompatibility, and Xiao Jing must be eliminated.

If the emperor knew about the news and ordered someone to investigate, then at least Xiao Lie's situation would be better.

"It's the father's intention. I ordered Yushitai to investigate. I know this clue, so I just took this opportunity to find evidence that King Zhao colluded with local officials."

"Okay, I'll leave for Fuyang tomorrow morning!" Su Jiu nodded solemnly, "I will find evidence as soon as possible!"

There was pain in Xiao Lie's eyes, and he stretched out his arms to hold Su Jiu in his arms, "Ah Jiu, when you come back, let's get married!"

"Will your father agree?" Su Jiu smiled.

"I will agree!" Xiao Lie closed his eyes, and kissed her temples with his lips, "I really miss you!"

"Within a month, I will definitely come back!" Su Jiu laughed.

"Okay! Within a month, I will finish everything and wait for you to come back!"

"Xiao Lie, did something happen to Chaozhong?" Su Jiu suddenly felt uneasy.

"No, don't worry! It's just that my father hasn't been in good health for the past few days!" Xiao Lie got up and stroked Su Jiu's face, "Take care on the way, don't worry!"

"Yeah!" Su Jiu smiled lightly, "Don't worry!"

"When you arrive in Fuyang, you must pay attention to your safety and don't worry me!" Xiao Lie repeatedly instructed.

"it is good!"

Early the next morning, just after dawn, the city gate opened, and Xiao Lie sent Su Jiu out of the city.

Su Jiu only told Qiao An about Su Jiu's going to Fuyang, so she didn't bring anyone with her, only Ermao, who was driving a car.

"You must write to me when you arrive in Fuyang!" Xiao Lie's face was gentle, but his eyes were worried, and he held Su Jiu's shoulders, unwilling to let go!

"Don't worry!" Under the faint morning light, Su Jiu's clear eyes gleamed, she turned and walked towards the carriage.

"Ajiu!"

Xiao Lie suddenly yelled, stepped forward and hugged Su Jiu tightly from behind, "Ah Jiu, when you come back, I want everyone in the world to know that you are Princess Rui!"

Su Jiu looked up at the rising sun, nodded slowly, "Okay!"

She turned around, pursed her lips and said with a smile, "The emperor is not feeling well, there may be changes in the court, you should be careful!"

Xiao Lie's throat was suffocated, he just nodded slightly.

Su Jiu turned around and left, got into the carriage and said goodbye to Xiao Lie.

Er Mao drove the carriage to the official road quickly, and gradually went away.

Xiao Lie stood there for a long time, looking at the direction of the carriage.

It was already dawn, and the people who entered the city were crowded towards the city gate, and they couldn't help but look sideways when they passed the man.

His black hair was stained with a layer of mist, and he stood there like a statue.

Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes galloping towards him, Ding Fei turned over and got off his horse when he got there, "Your Highness, Lord Zhang and Lord Yao are waiting for you outside the gate of the palace, let's go to the palace and face you!"

Xiao Lie turned around, his face was no longer soft and as cold as the morning mist, his long eyes were deep and firm, without any hesitation, he rode on his horse and rushed towards Shengjing City.

This morning, the rare king of Yunnan was also there.

Emperor Zhaoping was the same as yesterday, his face was haggard, and he looked very tired sitting on the dragon chair.

"If you have something to play, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do!" Eunuch Bai's shrill voice was still unpleasant.

"Report to Father!" Xiao Lie took a step forward and said in a low voice, "I want to marry the Princess Yulong of the Yunnan Prince's Mansion as a concubine, please do it!"

King Zhao Xiao Jing was stunned, then raised his head suddenly, narrowed his eyes coldly, looked at Emperor Zhaoping, and kept winking at him.

Qiao An was also shocked. He looked at Xiao Lie in shock, as if he understood why he wanted Su Jiu to go to Fuyang.

Qiao An frowned, lowered his head, looked around, and found that several officials in the court, including Zhang Yuan, were not too surprised, which meant that it was discussed early in the morning.

Why did Xiao Lie suddenly want to marry Princess Yulong?

Qiao An raised his head slightly, saw the black and blue brows of Emperor Zhaoping, and then thought about the strange things in court these few days, he was shocked in his heart, and seemed to understand!
A gleam of light flashed in Emperor Zhaoping's dim eyes, he just pretended not to see Xiao Jing's hint, and looked at the King of Yunnan, "I don't know what the lord means?"

The King of Yunnan cupped his hands and said respectfully, "His Royal Highness is a man of great martial arts, handsome and talented, and the old minister is naturally very happy!"

"it is good,"

Emperor Zhaoping just said a word, but was suddenly interrupted by Xiao Jing,

"Father, my son thinks this is very inappropriate, please think twice!"

Emperor Zhaoping looked at him indifferently, and said, "Princess Yulong is smart and agile, dignified and graceful, and He Lie'er is a gift from God! I agree!"

"Thank you, Father!" Xiao Lie's face was so warm that there was almost no expression.

Xiao Jing clenched his fists under the python robe, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.

"The king of Yunnan has a limited time in Beijing, let the Ministry of Rites choose a good day, Lie'er and Princess Yulong get married as soon as possible!" Emperor Zhaoping said.

"Yes! My son obeys the order!"

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness Prince Rui, congratulations to the King of Yunnan!"

Congratulations from all officials!

After saying a few words, Emperor Zhaoping's spirit was no longer good, and Eunuch Bai hurriedly announced his decree to withdraw from the court.

All the officials retreated from the court and wanted to congratulate Xiao Lie and the King of Yunnan.

Xiao Lie's face was indifferent, he didn't exchange many greetings, and walked out quickly.

Early in the morning, Jin Feng in Ji's mansion entered the study room, with a letter in his hand, he stepped forward and handed it to Ji Yuxian with both hands.

After Ji Yuxian opened it, he glanced at it, it was a letter from Fuyang, several shops opened, and Ji Yuxian was invited to watch the ceremony.

Then he threw it aside, Fang wanted to tell Jinfeng that he would not go back, his eyebrows moved, and he turned to look at the letter.

Fuyang?

Su's hometown.

Thinking of the Miss Su family who disappeared before, a dark color flashed in the man's wonderful eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Prepare the car, write to Fuyang, this time I will go there in person!"

Jin Feng was a little surprised, "Young master is really going?"

The business of Ji's mansion is spread all over Daliang, local shops are opened, Ji Yuxian rarely goes there, why did he have to go in person this time?
"Ok!"

Ji Yuxian responded lightly, without explaining, and only ordered Jinfeng to call several of the chief stewards of Shengjing.

After all the stewards arrived, Ji Yuxian arranged the affairs of Shengjing and set off in the afternoon, rushing all the way to Fuyang.

It was only in the afternoon that Chang Huan found out that Su Jiu had gone to Fuyang, and also saw the letter Su Jiu had left for him, asking him to take care of the business and the restaurant.

He understood that Su Jiu was not letting him go to her.

Returning to the palace in despair, and entering the backyard, I heard a few little maids discussing,

"We're going to have a happy event in our house!"

"Yeah, I heard it's very urgent, just a few days!"

"Our princess and His Highness Prince Rui are overjoyed, why did we do it so hastily?"

"Probably the prince is going back to Beijing!"

……

At this time, a servant girl saw Chang Huan and hurriedly knelt down to pay her respects, "My servant has seen the prince!"

"My maidservant sees the prince!" The others knelt down one after another.

Chang Huan had a look of astonishment on his face, he didn't bother to let them get up, and walked quickly to the inner courtyard.

Walking too quickly, she turned a corner and almost bumped into Yulong who was about to go out. Qinglan screamed in shock, and hurriedly said, "Your servant has seen the prince!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? What happened?" Yulong took a step forward, gently smoothing Chang Huan's clothes, and asked gently.

Chang Huan looked at her straight, "Are you going to marry Prince Rui?"

Yulong lowered her hands, showing no sign of shyness, and smiled generously, "Yes! Father announced it when he came back from the palace. You are not in the mansion, so you don't know yet."

Chang Huan frowned and looked at her, "Don't you know that the person Prince Rui likes is..."

"Chang Huan!" Yu Long interrupted him and said with a smile, "After I got married with His Royal Highness Prince Rui, you will be free as masters, aren't you happy?"

Chang Huan was stunned for a moment, looking at the woman in front of him with gloomy eyes.

Yulong caressed Chang Huan's shoulder, and said with a smile, "I know you like Su Jiu, and it was because of her that you refused to admit your parentage before?"

Without waiting for Chang Huan to answer, Yulong thought to herself, "It stands to reason that you are the son of the eldest son, and Su Jiu's status is not worthy of you! But Su Jiu is our family's benefactor, and my parents must be accommodating, and I will also help you." Intercede. After you get married, you can bring her back to the south of Yunnan, which is also a way to get the best of both worlds."

Chang Huan's handsome long eyes flickered, and he looked at Yu Long lightly, with a sneer on his lips, "Then I have to thank Eldest Sister!"

"We are all one family, why are you being polite!" Yulong smiled dignifiedly, "Okay, Concubine Mother was still asking you just now, so hurry up!"

"En!" Chang Huan responded indifferently.

"Huan'er, you have to understand that we are the real family!" Yulong smiled lightly and looked at him with deep meaning.

With a cold face, Chang Huanjun turned around and walked along the corridor without saying a word.

The next morning, the Ministry of Rites selected the date of marriage and presented it to the emperor.

After seeing it, Emperor Zhaoping chose the most recent day, May 22, with half a month left.

Although the time was short, everything was handled by the Ministry of Etiquette, Prince Rui's Palace and Yunnan Palace would not be too flustered.

Xiao Lie naturally hoped that the sooner the better, he readily agreed.

The king of Yunnan had no objection either, and the date of marriage was determined accordingly.

Emperor Zhaoping returned to his bedroom, Xiao Jing followed him in, and naturally lost his temper.

But there is indeed a lot of fear in his behavior. Xiao Lie has the influence of the King of Yunnan, and if he wants to be the prince, even if he finds Yuxi, it will be more difficult.

After all, if the King of Yunnan insisted on opposing him, and those ministers of the King Rui Party in the court, he would have to worry too!

After all, the king of Yunnan chose Prince Rui!

Xiao Jing's face was cold and stern, and his determination to seize power was even greater.

Emperor Zhaoping is still in his hands, this is his biggest trump card, he can be sure that Xiao Lie already knew that his father had been coerced by him, so he hastily married Yulong.

He wants to see, how did they turn around?

In the afternoon, as soon as Yulong went out, she saw the frame of Prince Rui's Mansion waiting outside the door.

She raised her eyebrows, hurriedly walked over, and said with a smile, "Your Highness is here, why don't you enter the mansion?"

Xiao Lie raised the curtain of the car, with a gentle face, "I have something to talk to the Princess, please get in the car."

Yulong's eyes flickered, and she smiled, "Okay!"

After finishing speaking, he lifted his skirt and got into the carriage. As soon as Fang sat down, Ding Fei had already driven the carriage away.

After a while, the carriage stopped by the Huanhua River, and the two got out of the carriage and boarded a quiet painting boat.

Apart from the boatman and servants, he was the only two on the boat, standing still at the head of the bed, with the boat swinging lightly, rowing towards the center of the river.

The man stood tall, tall and straight, with a handsome face, seemingly as gentle as jade, but with an indifference that repulses others thousands of miles away.

Yulong tilted her head to look at the man, the corners of her lips couldn't restrain the joy, she said with a light smile, "Your Highness invited Yulong out just to enjoy the scenery, right?"

Xiao Lie said indifferently, "Does the princess know why you and I got married?"

Yulong's eyes flashed, she nodded calmly, "Know a thing or two!"

"The princess is a smart person, so this king will make it clear! This king doesn't really want to marry the princess. The person I like is Su Jiu, and she is the only Princess Rui in my heart! The marriage with the Yunnan palace is forced by circumstances. , as a last resort."

The smile on Yulong's face slowly faded, and the corners of her lips curled up reluctantly, "Yes, Yulong understands!"

"The Princess can tell the King of Yunnan what I have said. It will not be too late for the Palace to make a decision on whether to continue this marriage, but this king must tell the Princess!"

Yulong lowered her eyes, a gloomy look flashed across her eyes, then she raised her head and smiled sassyly, "Yulong understands what His Highness said! Don't worry, I won't tell father!"

"Since the marriage is not what you and I want, after the matter is completed, the king will naturally reconcile with the princess. This king also knows that this is really unfair to the princess, so I can agree to any compensation the princess wants! "

The corner of Yulong's lips curled into a sneer, she turned her head to look at the river, and said sternly, "Your Highness is serious! First, Yulong is also from Daliang, so it is right to make some sacrifices for Daliang and the emperor. Second, Su Jiu is the benefactor of our Yunnan Palace, how could I rob her of her beloved, so, "

She looked back and smiled, and looked at Xiao Lie, "According to His Highness, Yulong doesn't need any compensation, just treat it as gratitude to Su Jiu for saving Huan'er's life!"

Xiao Lie's eyes brightened slightly, "The princess understands righteousness deeply and has deep affection, this king is grateful!"

"Your Highness is welcome!"

Seeing Yulong being so sensible, Xiao Lie felt a little more relaxed. After sending Yulong back home, he only concentrated on planning, waiting for the day when he got married, and after he settled everything, he personally went to Fuyang to arrest Su. Nine took it back.

Yulong and Xiao Lie said goodbye outside the Yunnan Prince's Mansion, turned around and entered the palace, and after entering the door, the gentle face just now faded immediately, and asked, "Where is the prince?"

"Go back to Princess, the son just came back from outside and is now in his room!" The servant replied.

"Yeah!" Yulong nodded, and walked quickly into Changhuan's courtyard.

Pushing the door open, Chang Huan was sitting at the desk, looking at the account books of the firm.

Yulong took the tea poured by the servants, put it on the table, and said with a smile, "Let's leave these things to others, Huan'er can't always be the shopkeeper of the firm!"

"I planned to keep doing it!" Chang Huan took a sip of tea and opened his lips lightly.

"If Su Jiu becomes the imperial concubine in the future, what business do you need to open?" Yulong said gently.

"Boss, she won't go to southern Yunnan, and I won't either!" Chang Huan said lightly.

Yulong no longer entangled with him about this matter, stood beside him with an inkstone, spread rice paper on the table, dipped the pen in the ink, and handed it to Chang Huan.
"Huan'er, write a letter to Su Jiu!"

"The boss will write to me when he arrives in Fuyang!" Chang Huan said.

"No, I want you to tell Su Jiu about my marriage with Prince Rui, and let her come back to watch the ceremony!" Yulong raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in a soft voice.

Chang Huan was taken aback, looked at Yu Long with deep eyes, and said coldly, "What does Elder Sister mean?"

"Huan'er, don't you understand? Xiao Lie transferred Su Jiu to Fuyang just because he didn't want her to know that he was going to marry me as his concubine. How could we feel sorry for deceiving Su Jiu like this? Besides, Su Jiu Only when you see Xiao Lie getting married with your own eyes, will you cut off your love and break up with Xiao Lie! In this way, Huan'er, you will have a chance!" Yulong said slowly.

Chang Huan stared at her blankly, suddenly, he didn't seem to recognize the woman in front of him.

Yulong put the pen in Chang Huan's hand, and said with a gentle smile, "Although Elder Sister has selfish intentions, she is really thinking of you. In short, this is beneficial to both you and me! Huan'er, don't hesitate, start writing!"

"No!" Chang Huan dropped the pen in his hand, and he shook his head in panic, only feeling that this matter was wrong.

"Huan'er!" Yulong put the pen in his hand again, and said solemnly, "The Yunnan Palace is not as beautiful as it looks on the surface. The emperor has already planned to withdraw the domain, so the Yunnan Palace must be in harmony with Rui. Wang Lianyan! You are the son of the Yunnan royal family, this is your responsibility, you must do it!"

Chang Huan's face was slightly pale, and the hand holding the pen trembled slightly on the paper.

"Huan'er, you are doing this for Su Jiu, to prevent her from being deceived, there is nothing wrong with that!"

"Without Mr. Ji and Xiao Lie, Su Jiu will see you, Huan'er, for the sake of love, anyone can be selfish!"

"Even if Su Jiu knows all this, she will be grateful to you!"

Yulong persuaded her step by step.

Chang Huan took a deep breath, the hesitation on his face gradually turned into firmness, and he began to write.

Soon after a letter was written, Yulong took it over and read it again, and said with a smile, "Huan'er wrote better than Elder Sister imagined."

She folded the letter paper carefully, "I'll have someone send it out right away. Huan'er, you have fulfilled elder sister's happiness, and elder sister will always be grateful to you!"

"Take it away quickly!" Chang Huan said lightly with a gloomy expression.

"Okay, Huan'er take a good rest, then elder sister won't bother you anymore!"

Yulong said softly, then turned and left.

Chang Huan closed his eyes, feeling a sudden sense of uneasiness in his heart, he got up and wanted to chase Yulong back, but he couldn't move a bit.

So be it!

Xiao Lie should have been punished for deceiving Su Jiu!

He did the right thing!
He has the right to let Su Jiu know the truth!
Yes, he did nothing wrong!
He is not only trying to get Su Jiu's selfishness, but also to keep Su Jiu from being deceived by Xiao Lie!
Chang Huan kept comforting himself, but his face turned paler, his chest was anxious and restless, and he always felt that something was about to happen.

When Xiao Lie returned to the mansion, he immediately saw Qiao An standing outside the mansion waiting for him.

"Your Majesty joins His Royal Highness Prince Rui!" Qiao An's voice was rather weak.

Xiao Lie nodded lightly, "Please come to Mrs. Qiao's mansion!"

Qiao An looked around, with a cold expression on his elegant face, "No need, the officer has a few words to ask His Highness, and leave after asking!"

He originally thought this matter was strange, but today he heard that even the date of marriage had been fixed in the court, and only then did he know that Xiao Lie really wanted to marry Yulong, so he had to come and ask clearly.

Xiao Lie had already guessed what Qiao An was going to ask, and said in a low voice, "This king's promise to Su Jiu will not change, Master Qiao can rest assured!"

"Your Highness is about to marry the princess as a concubine, so where will we be the head of the family? The official understands that the situation in the court has changed, and there is no room for infidelity in front of the big picture, but what about our head of the family? How can your highness give her a favor?" Confession?" Joan's tone was sharp.

Xiao Lie's breath was cold, and his attitude was hard to argue with, "Qiao An, what this king said will naturally not change. Getting married to the princess is just a stopgap measure. This king is discussing this matter with the princess today. After the matter is completed, This king will reconcile with the princess, and it has nothing to do with the marriage of men and women."

Joan's eyes were shocked, "Your Highness, are you serious?"

"When did this king lie to Master Qiao?"

Qiao An's expression softened slightly, and he bowed and said, "It's the lower officials who wrongly blamed His Highness for being so disrespectful just now, I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"

"This king knows that you are doing it for Ah Jiu, so why would he blame you? Master Qiao, don't worry, when Ah Jiu returns, this king will definitely have taken care of everything."

"Yes, I trust Your Highness!"

Although Qiao An was still a little uneasy, he had no choice but to trust Xiao Lie at this time, and based on his understanding of Xiao Lie, he would not use this matter as a perfunctory trick to deceive himself.
