Goodbye, Your Majesty - C172
An Emperor who didn’t have a brain like this, no wonder he would be poisoned by one of his concubines, no wonder he would be tricked by his own son.
Shang Guanmo was stunned for a moment before he recalled the incident. The funeral had ended in just two months. Preparing for the wedding at this time was fine, but the purpose of the emperor was also clear to him.
“But, even if it’s a marriage, as a girl, it’s not appropriate for Qian’er to speak up.”
Shang Guanmo spoke softly as well, but there was a faint trace of displeasure in his words. No matter what, Shangguan Qian’s marriage was not something that she himself could decide.
Just like that, the Emperor was humiliated and felt a bit awkward. He glanced at Li Fengyi and wanted to let him speak, but at this moment, he could only lower his head in respect.
Li Fengyi naturally wouldn’t say anything. The matter of the Turk was too much of a blow to him. At this moment, he didn’t even have time to react.
Although the Crown Prince had brought along many of his personal soldiers, there were so many of his own spies in the army camp. And this Li Yifen, how did he do it, in such a short period of time, to force his way through the raging waves?
“Hehe ~ I’m just afraid that the princess will feel wronged, after all … Now is the time for the treasury to run out of money. ”
The Emperor only glanced at him gloomily when the Third Prince refused to cooperate, so he continued with his business. Since he had already said this, he wasn’t afraid that the Third Prince would refuse.
He did not expect the Great Yue State to help the Great Yan Nation at this time. After all, the current situation was not stable; helping the Great Yan Nation was actually helping the Crown Prince and his opponent.
However, he’d felt the Emperor’s rage and displeasure as well. He was utterly incapable of speaking up at this moment.
“This King has also been preparing to come out for a period of time. It’s time to go back. If I can settle Qian’Er’s marriage, it will naturally save This King a lot of trouble.”
Shang Guanmo seemed to be speaking without thinking, although he looked calm and at ease, he held his hand tightly. When he mentioned Shangguan Qian’s marriage, he felt uncomfortable, not to mention marrying someone else, but he had no choice but to say so.
Shang Guanmo was going back!
This was Shangguan Qian’s only thought in his heart, why was he in such a hurry to return? Logically speaking, he should’ve come to Great Yan Empire for the sake of some alliance, but now that there was no news and he was about to return, could it be that he had lost due to the Turkic War?
Also, what did the departure of Brother Shen Ting have to do with him? What role did he play in this battle?
“Why is the First Prince leaving already?”
At this moment, Li Fengyi lightly spoke. He did not expect that Shang Guanmo would leave so soon, but didn’t the agreement between them never materialize?
“I’m the only prince of the Great Lei Nation. Besides, it’s not bad to see Qian’Er here, so I’m relieved.”
As he finished, he gave Shangguan Qian a meaningful smile.
Shangguan Qian didn’t pay any attention to him, instead lowering his head and acting bashful.
Didn’t he know how to lie anyway? His current state was not that bad. It was truly wonderful to be on tenterhooks and fight against one’s wits with courage!
“Since that’s the case, we should wait for Qian’Er’s marriage before we go back. Qian’Er is not used to being alone in Great Yan Nation after all.”
Li Fengyi said ’empathically’, while Shang Guanmo merely smiled.
“Qian’Er is sensible, so she knows what is important and what cannot be delayed.”
Shangguan Qian was very fond of the feeling of being transparent. Even though the flames of war had been burning constantly, it had not been able to burn his body.
The atmosphere in the great hall was somewhat strange. Just as everyone was silent, a sound broke the silence.
“The Imperial Advisor has arrived!”
Shangguan Qian also followed their gazes, meeting Ouyang Jin’s deep gaze. As their gazes met, Shangguan Qian could only look away quietly.
She was truly an enchanting and beautiful man. No matter where she went, she would not be able to rein herself in. The golden peony on her body was truly revealing her enchanting temperament.
“Why is the Imperial Advisor free to come?”
Seeing Ouyang Jin, the Emperor’s countenance turned a lot better. After all, Ouyang Jin had managed to obtain the antidote for the poison in the emperor’s body, and he was the one who saved his life. He really couldn’t show it.
“Get up.”
Ouyang Jin did not answer the emperor’s question, but instead spoke to the bowing Li Fengyi and Shangguan Qian. As for Shang Guanmo, he was only looking at them indifferently, with no intention of greeting them, and Ouyang Jin did not care too much about it.
“What’s the matter, Imperial Advisor?”
Even though he had lost face, it was as if the emperor couldn’t slap him. He changed his method and asked the question again.
“Of course, I’ve heard that our Great Yan Nation obtained a complete victory. I’d like to ask how His Majesty praises the warriors.”
There wasn’t much respect in Ouyang Jin’s tone, but he wasn’t too presumptuous either. In view of his habits and demonic qualities, the Emperor didn’t get angry. Instead, he smiled and said, “Just let the Imperial Advisors handle this.”
Shangguan Qian’er’s heart sank. She knew that the Emperor trusted Ouyang Jin, but he had not expected him to be so lax. Such a question was left for him to decide alone.
However, Ouyang Jin had also become a little unlovable. He had clearly committed eight hundred suicides and killed a thousand enemies. How could he have won so easily? He even had the nerve to say that he was not cute!
“Thank you, your majesty.”
Although Ouyang Jin was not looking at Shangguan Qian now, he still noticed her curled lips and couldn’t help but find it funny. It seemed like this little girl had woken up from his sleep.
“I wonder why Princess Qian’Er is here?”
Ouyang Jin asked as if he was unfamiliar with Shangguan Qian, a trace of curiosity flashing in his eyes. Light.
Shangguan Qian’er lifted his head, his face respectful as he said: “Elder brother and Your Majesty are currently discussing Qian’er’s wedding!”
After saying this, she shyly lowered her head again, but her eyes were full of craftiness. Everyone was like her and didn’t even look at whether she was that easy to bully.
Sure enough, Ouyang Jin’s face suddenly turned gloomy. Before the Emperor could ask the reason, he had already said in all seriousness, “A marriage can actually be decided by a single daughter!”
Look, it’s an abuse of privacy!
Shangguan Qian was not bothered by that, though he was still laughing secretly in his heart. Shangguan Mo looked at him and said faintly, “You don’t need any guidance from the Imperial Advisor, do you?”
Shang Guanmo was now staring closely at Shangguan Qian, hoping to see a flaw in his plan. Although he did not get much information, based on his instincts and their trip to the lake, he could tell that Qian’Er treated Ouyang Jin differently.
As for Ouyang Jin, he was an opponent even more difficult to deal with than Li Fengyi. With his status … As he thought of this, his expression darkened.
“Princess Qian’Er is going to marry into Great Yan Nation, and this sovereign is also Great Yan Nation’s Imperial Advisor. Does the First Prince really think that it has nothing to do with this sovereign?”
With one more person, the atmosphere would become even weirder.
The flames of war had yet to reach Shangguan Qian, and she couldn’t help but start observing the Emperor’s face. Did he really believe Ouyang Jin that much?
However, the Emperor only looked at the two of them nervously, but did not speak up. Shangguan Qian was unable to see any clues from it.
After a long while, it was still Li Fengyi who said, “When the time comes, I would like to ask the State Grandmaster for a toast of the joyous occasion between me and Qian’Er.”
Although he was unhappy with Ouyang Jin, even the emperor would give him some face right now. Naturally, he wouldn’t provoke him at this time.
Ouyang Jin’s eyes flickered, but he continued to smile charmingly. Looking at Li Fengyi, his eyes were also a little strange, and in the entire large hall, only Shangguan Qian could understand the meaning behind that look.
“Of course, if it’s the wedding between Third Prince and Princess Qian’Er, then this senior will definitely return.”
However, don’t worry, you won’t give me that chance. Qian’Er can only marry me.
Therefore, the way he looked at Li Fengyi was as if he was looking at a blade of green grass on his head.
“It’s just that in this wedding banquet, a princess is getting married. Originally, ten miles of red makeup should have been extremely lively and bustling, but now, Great Yan Nation …”
This emperor was truly unwilling to give up. Shangguan Qian muttered in his heart, and allowed Shang Guanmo and Li Fengyi to rent the plan.
However, it was Ouyang Jin who spoke, “Your Majesty, we have to make the marriage simple.”
After saying that, he gave Li Fengyi a meaningful look, which immediately infuriated Li Fengyi. Although he did not want the Great Lei Nation to help him out this time, but if someone from the wrong were to say something like that, wasn’t it in front of Shangguan Qian, not giving him face?
“How did the Imperial Advisor come to meddle in this matter?”
Li Fengyi endured it all until he finally asked in a shady tone, but Ouyang Jin’s originally expressionless face was now filled with joy.
“I just feel that the marriage should be simplified. After all, the war has just been decided, and His Majesty’s talent show is not too far away.”
Shangguan Qian looked at him, he had actually forgotten about the talent show, and now even the Emperor did not know what to say.
Sure enough, the emperor’s expression became unsightly. He then glanced at Li Fengyi and said, “While basic etiquette will not be wasted, it will not be too extravagant and wasteful either.”
With a single sentence, he decided to simplify the marriage.
However, Shangguan Qian was not worried at all, because this marriage was definitely not going to happen. But why did Ouyang Jin also know about this? Was he still going against Li Fengyi? What a strange person!
“Yi’er, it’s best if you wait for Princess Qian’Er to go out for a walk.”
After a long while, the emperor found a crappy excuse and chased Shangguan Qian and Li Fengyi out. As for the purpose, it was probably to discuss about aid with Shang Guanmo. However, who was Shang Guanmo?
“Qian’Er, I’m sorry.”
Not far from the office, Li Fengyi held her hand and looked at her guiltily, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Shangguan Qian Bei endured the urge to slap his hand away. “Feng Yi, where did you say you were? How can I blame you for this? You don’t have to blame yourself.”
In order to prevent him from speaking even more shocking words, Shangguan Qian had to shut his mouth first, immediately saying that it didn’t matter.
“Qian’Er, I originally wanted to give you the most grand wedding, but now …”
As he finished speaking, his face was filled with self-blame again. This bullied daughter-in-law looked like she had eaten a little of Shangguan Qian’s food, and everything was rolling around.
“Feng Yi, Qian’Er only cares about your heart. Qian’Er wouldn’t care about anything else, otherwise, Qian’Er wouldn’t have come all the way here to marry you.”
“Qian’Er, you are so nice.”
As he said that, he embraced her tightly, but Shangguan Qian had no way to refuse. He could only pray that Ouyang Jin would not show up at this time.
“Feng Yi, it’s not good for others to see. After all, this is the Imperial Palace.”
Shangguan Qian still gave her a shove, and Li Fengyi also let go when he heard her words.
Immediately, neither of them spoke, Shangguan Qian only looked at the lake, not knowing if he should leave or stay.
