Chapter 1762: Chapter 1762

This Cui Wei is deliberately causing Empress Su distress!

He Lienuo sighed lightly, regretfully adjusting his sleeve, thinking that despite his unlimited charm in Xiliang, here in Dayong, he has been ignored by beauties numerous times.

This feeling is really awful!

Seeing the chaotic situation in the main hall, Lin Yuan immediately felt a headache.

"What do you think is going on with Princess Cui Wei? Why did she agree to this? Is it just to embarrass Empress?"

Xia Zheng pursed his lips, clearly just recovering from the shock. He is quite familiar with the matter between Princess Cui Wei and the guard.

As soon as Xia Zheng said these three words, his gaze met Zhao Hongde’s.

They both saw surprise and understanding in each other’s eyes. Everyone else only knew of Cui Wei’s deep feelings for that guard, but didn’t know to what extent.

If anyone truly understood, perhaps not even Empress Su knew more clearly than Xia Zheng and Zhao Hongde.

Back then, it was these two troublemakers who helped connect Cui Wei and the guard.

"Cough cough, cough cough."

Su Zhe coughed twice, standing up from his seat, and the main hall immediately fell silent.

"Your Majesty, Empress, Princess Cui Wei has made such a sacrifice for the long-term friendship between Dayong and Xiliang. We admire her. However, Princess Cui Wei is Dayong’s legitimate princess, this matter must be treated with utmost care. I suggest we discuss this in court after the New Year before making a decision."

Su Zhe’s words greatly pleased the Emperor.

Especially framing Princess Cui Wei’s agreement to marry into Xiliang as a "sacrifice" for the friendship between the two countries, thus showcasing Princess Cui Wei’s generosity, while giving the Emperor and Empress the opportunity to reconsider.

The princess agreed for the sake of two countries’ friendship, but the Emperor and Empress are truly reluctant to let the princess marry far away. Even if they disagree in the future, neither the princess nor the Empress will become the subject of Dayong people’s complaints.

Empress Su could not wait to nod in agreement, her hands were already tightly clenched.

The Old Emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile: "Prime Minister Su is very right, Cui Wei, who comes from the Empress, deeply has my heart. If we let the princess marry far away to Xiliang, I truly have some reluctance!"

After speaking, he smiled at He Lienuo, his eyes full of the longing and reluctance a common father would have for his daughter about to be married away far.

"Crown Prince Helian, do you understand my intentions? Please allow me to carefully consider this matter and give you a response in a few days, would that be fine?"

The Old Emperor has already said this much, if he doesn’t agree, wouldn’t it seem too cold and heartless?

He Lienuo chuckled and nodded in agreement following the Old Emperor’s words.

Seeing this matter being resolved so easily, Princess Cui Wei did not argue as imagined. Anyway, her goal had been reached, as long as Empress Su understands her intentions, the following days would be lively.

Sure enough, at the ensuing palace banquet, Empress Su had not a moment of peace, her eyes constantly fixed on Princess Cui Wei.

Perhaps to make her uncomfortable, Princess Cui Wei even took the initiative to chat with He Lienuo, which angered Empress Su to the point her face turned ashen.

Watching this mother and daughter duo, Lin Yuan sighed slightly, really at a loss for what to say.

Perhaps the affair back then did have Empress Su’s fault, but the guard’s death cannot be entirely blamed on Empress Su.

Who could have thought it was so dangerous there? Who would have imagined he would enter the depths of the mountains?

Shaking her head silently, Lin Yuan picked up her wine glass to drink alone. Content originally comes from NoveI[F]ire.net

Just as her lips were about to touch the wine glass, Xia Zheng snatched it away.

"Someone is getting married, why are you drowning your sorrows in wine?"

Xia Zheng glared at her unhappily, placing the wine glass where Lin Yuan couldn’t reach.

"Instead of drinking, you should be watching someone’s good show."

Listening to Xia Zheng’s nonsensical words, Lin Yuan didn’t immediately respond, someone’s good show? Whose show?

Xia Zheng smirked, signaling with a look.

Lin Yuan lifted her eyes to look, oh, indeed it was a good show!

Across the hall, Second Prince Zhao Hongsheng had somehow upset Yao Hanai. He now had a displeased face, but still had to lower himself to please her!

Lin Yuan seemed to realize something, and looking back at Xia Zheng, she indeed saw a schadenfreude smile on his face.
