The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 767 Humming and bewitching the Lord? (4)
The emperor's question was completely beyond Chu Qiyan's expectations.

Chu Qiyan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he didn't react for a long time, until the emperor got impatient and slowly opened his eyes to look over.

Chu Qiyan was startled suddenly, only then did she realize that she had lost her composure, quickly concealed her emotions, and said with a smile: "Xunyang and I are just cousins, her marriage is decided by the emperor's grandfather and His Royal Highness, so it's not my turn." Commented on it?"

His expression was well concealed, but inside he was inexplicably anxious.

The emperor's attitude towards him has changed drastically now, and he is already planning to use him as the last bargaining chip to contain Chu Yi'an.

Under such circumstances, he was obviously very afraid that Chu Yi'an would become bigger and seize power from him, so how could he marry Chu Xunyang to Feng Liancheng at this juncture.

But he decided to use these words to test himself——

It was obvious that he was also afraid that Chu Qiyan would be spoiled and arrogant, so he had other thoughts.

"There are no outsiders here, I just ask casually, you don't have to be shy, just say it!" the emperor said, staring at the expression on his face without blinking.

Chu Qiyan's thoughts were disturbed, but she put on a humble look, lowered her eyelids a little, and then said softly: "Everyone knows that His Royal Highness loves daughters like his own life. Although Feng Liancheng is famous, Nanhua is thousands of miles away. He must be reluctant to marry Xunyang away. Besides, the princes in the Nanhua Dynasty are fighting openly and secretly, and Feng Liancheng's position may not be stable. gone."

He didn't say his own opinion, but just analyzed Chu Yi'an's psychology blindly.

He could think of these, and the emperor naturally saw them, but at this moment he just looked at Chu Qiyan, and he didn't say a word.

Chu Qiyan waited for a while, and seeing that he was not going to give up, she had no choice but to continue to speak: "The internal struggles in his country have nothing to do with us. Once Xunyang gets married, what will happen to Feng Liancheng in the future?" If there is a mistake, she will also be implicated. How can His Royal Highness sit idly by then? It may not be a good thing for the two countries to get too close. His Majesty is also aware of the situation in Nanhua Kingdom, let alone others. It's just between Feng Liancheng and Feng Xu—I'm afraid that after he returns to China in the future, he will soon face tit for tat. In such a troubled time, the emperor's grandfather loves Xun Yang, so how could he push her into such a whirlpool? "

The battle for great positions in Nanhua Kingdom is also imminent.

At this juncture, getting Chu Yi'an involved with them was forcing him to seize power and rebel.

The emperor just listened to him without expressing his opinion, and now he closed his eyes and continued to meditate.

He didn't say to let Chu Qiyan go, and Chu Qiyan couldn't leave without authorization, but could only wait silently by the side.

After a while, the emperor murmured as if he was half asleep, "Feng Liancheng is not suitable, it seems that it is time for me to marry Xunyang."

Feng Liansheng's background was too complicated, it was indeed inappropriate.

Relatively speaking--

Lord Yanling, who has no background in the court, is naturally the best candidate.

For such a person to become the son-in-law of the East Palace, the emperor is most at ease——

There is no need to worry about what powerful family the East Palace can win over, as the threat to him is the least.

Chu Qiyan immediately understood the meaning behind his words, her heart was confused, and her brows were faintly frowned——

Before, he never thought that it was Yanling Lord's irrelevant identity that facilitated his attempt on Chu Xunyang so easily.

Just imagine, if he had entered the imperial hospital instead of entering an official position, then as a person, not to mention a high position and power, he must not be a mediocre person. At that time, the emperor will consider marrying the East Palace. You have to think more, and you won't be as happy as you are now.

Chu Qiyan was upset, but in front of the emperor, he couldn't show any emotions. When he was restless, there happened to be a sound of footsteps outside, but it was the secret guard who went to inquire at the city gate and returned to his life.

"Are you clear?" The emperor looked sideways.

"Yes!" The man touched the ground on one knee, with a solemn expression on his face, he hesitated for a moment before replying: "The exact news from the Huwei camp is that Lord Yanling and old doctor Chen have never been seen entering the city. The subordinate also went to the city gate guard to ask, even yesterday - there was no carriage from the Chen family leaving the city."

The emperor was still listening casually, but when he heard this sentence, his body stiffened suddenly, and he sat up all of a sudden.

"What did you say?" the emperor said, pressing his hands on the tables next to him, "You mean the two of them didn't leave the city at all last night?"

When the Imperial Forest Army went to the Chen Manor to fetch people early this morning, it was said that the two had gone out of the city overnight to gather medicine.

Originally, it didn't matter if they couldn't get out of the city, but——

And why would they lie?

All kinds of thoughts flashed through the emperor's heart in an instant, and the last thing that appeared in his mind was only four words——

Do a thief guilty!

but--

What could Lord Yanling and Chen Gengnian do to make them feel so guilty?
The emperor has been mentally troubled recently, and his brain is becoming more and more inadequate. He frowned and thought hard for a long time, but he still couldn't figure it out in the end.

Looking at his sickly face, Chu Qiyan didn't think much about it at first, but at this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and suddenly an unprecedented thought flashed across.

Because this idea was too bold, he was startled by himself first, and then his eyes fell on the emperor's side face again, observing him carefully.

The emperor is getting old, and his body has already begun to deteriorate, but when it comes to his physical deterioration——

But it happened during the period when he and Chu Qifeng went to the south, and went to Chuzhou to carry out secret business trips.

Although the time is not too short, but thinking about it now——

The emperor's body collapsed was really a bit unexpected.

Once this idea is born, it can no longer be restrained from skyrocketing in the mind.

The emperor thought about it for a long time to no avail.

But Chu Qiyan didn't have the heart to waste time with him any longer——

He still has a lot of things to prove.

"Grandfather, it's getting late, and the palace gate is about to be keyed. I'm afraid it would be wrong for my grandson to stay in the palace." Chu Qiyan said, reminding her in a low voice.

"Oh!" The emperor came back to his senses, glanced at him, waved his hand and said, "You go first!"

"Yes!" Chu Qiyan bowed and saluted, "Grandson resigns!"

After saying that, he left the hall.

Before turning around, he couldn't help but look back at the emperor again.
