away from the heart

Chapter 155 The Old Story of Xizhao 1
Princess Naxi, who Xizhao came to make a kiss with, wanted neither King Ning nor King Shun, but unexpectedly chose Xue Yao.When the news spread, there was an uproar between the ruling and opposition parties.King Ning was the first one who couldn't sit still, so he rushed to the imperial study room: "Father, Nansang is not alone, why should Xue Yao, a bodyguard, marry Naxi Princess? At least he must be a prince, or a prince?"

The emperor looked at King Ning expressionlessly, "Are you talking about the stars, or yourself?"

King Ning was at a loss for words for a while, and didn't know how to answer.

"Father, my son thinks that he is worthy of Sovereign Xizhao."

When the emperor heard this, Longyan was furious, and punched the desk with a fist: "Xizhao is not a fuel-efficient lamp. This marriage is an expedient measure. Are you crazy to marry Naxi? If this alliance fails, Xizhao Showa and Nansang are at war again, how do you deal with yourself?"

King Ning clenched his fists, his eyes were full of disdain: "That's not his turn, Xue Yao!"

"Then it's not your turn to comment. How could I have such a stupid son like you?"

King Ning stepped forward and slashed at the desk, causing all the scrolls and papers on the desk to fall down.

"Father, in your heart, is your son so stupid and incompetent?"

"Presumptuous!" The emperor suddenly stood up and faced King Ning face to face. King Ning was so stared that his feet were limp, and he immediately stepped back.

"Father, my son doesn't dare—it's just because I'm afraid that Xue Yao is a big-hearted person who will neglect Princess Xizhao."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "What does that have to do with you?"

King Ning was at a loss for words, thought for a while and said: "After all, Xi Zhao specially sent her to be married. If her life is not going well, it will inevitably appear that I, Nan Sang, are negligent. If Xi Zhao uses the topic to play..."

"If Xizhao really wants to take advantage of the problem, he can always find other reasons. At that time, if you or your brother marry Naxi, it will be difficult to deal with yourself. It would be more appropriate to give Xue Yao." The emperor looked cold. He came down and issued an order to the guards guarding the side: "Come here—King Ning is arrogant and domineering. He has no courtesy of being a courtier or a view of the overall situation. He will be sent down to the palace of Prince Ning. Without my order, he is not allowed to step out of the palace for half a day." step!"

"Father—" King Ning was detained by the guards with both hands, and sent out of the imperial study.

Outside the imperial study room, Xue Yao had been waiting for a long time.

"Gao Gonggong, it's been an hour, when will the emperor receive me?"

Eunuch Gao comforted him: "This old slave is not sure, the emperor has important matters to deal with right now. Listen, there is still arguing inside."

After finishing speaking, King Ning was escorted out and glared at Xue Yao angrily, wishing to swallow him alive.

Eunuch Gao stood aside, not daring to say anything, secretly observing Xue Yao's expression.

Luo Ji came and whispered a few words to Xue Yao, Xue Yao's expression changed, he looked at the imperial study with deep eyes, and left with Luo Ji.

When they arrived at the guard's class, Duo Ertu led the people to wait for a long time. Seeing Xue Yao's arrival, he bowed to him: "The Princess sent me to ask the general whether the banquet should be held according to Xizhao's custom or Nansang's custom."

Xue Yao sneered, "No."

Duoertu's expression remained unchanged, but he just said as a matter of routine: "General Xue, to tell you the truth, we don't like this marriage either, but Princess He likes it, so you have to agree if you agree, or you have to agree if you don't agree."

Hearing such rude and threatening words, Xue Yao's eyes became sharp: "Joke, I want to see how you can make me agree. If you don't speculate, it's useless to talk more, Luo Ji, see off the guests."

Luo Ji immediately stretched out his hand as if to see off the guests, but Dortu smiled instead of anger: "Come here, present the wedding cake presented by the emperor himself!"

The man from Doertu came forward with an exquisitely styled food box. When he opened it, he saw that it was the wedding cake that Nan Sang had to have when he got married.

"The princess has already decided on the style, and the imperial dining room will start making it today. Would you like to try something new?"

"Dortu!" Xue Yao snapped, "Enough is enough!"

"General Xue is a loyal minister of Nansang, is it possible that he wants to resist the order?"

Xue Yao clenched his fists, his veins were exposed, and his eyes were murderous: "I really hate that when I invaded the Xizhao court, I didn't cut you with a knife."

Not only was Duertu not afraid, but he said triumphantly, "Now Xizhao has become Nansang's guest, and the general can't kill him anymore. The cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackey is cooking. The general has long understood this truth, but he wants to go back to Nansang. It's a pity pity."
