Eunuch Mo subconsciously touched his lower back, gritted his teeth, and simply took the imperial edict and guarded the palace gate for most of the night. He waited for the palace gate to open and was the first to rush out. He happened to bump into Duke Zhongguo.

.

"Ouch!"

"Who is it? You are so short-sighted!" Duke Zhongguo stepped back and was hit like a dog. When he touched the wound, he couldn't help but gasped and cursed. When he saw the person clearly, Duke Zhongguo calmed down.

: "Isn't this Eunuch Mo? Why is it so early?"

Eunuch Mo was also hit badly, with a smile on his face: "Oh, Mr. Zhongguo, it's not yet morning time, why do you..."

Before he finished speaking, Eunuch Mo probably guessed that Duke Zhongguo was most likely here to break off the engagement, so Eunuch Mo said quickly: "Gong Zhongguo, this servant was ordered to visit you. What happened last night has been reported to

The emperor has heard it."

"Really? The emperor must be very angry, right?"

"No, the emperor was so angry that he didn't sleep all night. Even the imperial doctor said that no one was allowed to disturb him, otherwise he would be punished by military law." After Mo Gonggong's words reached this point, Zhongguo Gong couldn't move on anymore, so he asked again.

: "Is your Majesty okay?"

"Hey, Your Majesty..." Eunuch Mo cleared his throat, raised the edict, and said in a voice as sharp as a duck: "Gong Zhongguo accepts the edict!"

Duke Zhongguo was stunned for a moment, then he knelt on the ground and raised his hands high: "I accept the order."

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict... to give Princess Yu'an of Yunlan Kingdom to the crown prince of Zhongguo as his wife, and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to choose a good and auspicious day to get married. I hereby express my gratitude!"

Before Duke Zhongguo could react, Eunuch Mo directly grabbed the imperial edict and stuffed it into Duke Zhongguo's raised hand.

"This..." Duke Zhongguo was extremely angry and stood up directly; "What is going on? How could the emperor issue a decree to grant a marriage?"

He waited at the palace gate for several hours, his back aching and his arms aching, just hoping that Emperor Mingwen would take back his decree and that Duke Zhongguo no longer wanted to marry Princess Yu'an.

That is a troublemaker, and sooner or later he will harm the Duke of Zhongguo.

"My lord, have you forgotten that it was you who urgently begged the emperor for eight hundred miles to grant a marriage between the prince and the princess? In order to make up for the eldest son's palace, the emperor asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to hold the wedding as soon as possible. Why do you blame the emperor instead?

"

Eunuch Mo deliberately kept a straight face, but a big stone fell to the ground in his heart. His lower back was saved. The imperial edict was given, and there was absolutely no reason to take it back casually.

Duke Zhongguo said with a cold face: "The child is ignorant and confused for a moment. Besides, Yunlan Kingdom wants to make peace with the emperor. As for the child, the emperor can beat or punish him as he pleases."

The worst he could do was to be punished, but it was better than having no peace in the backyard of the Zhongguo Duke's mansion. After returning to the mansion last night, the old concubine gave him a powerful analysis and resolutely refused to let Princess Yu'an enter the mansion.

In the words of the old concubine, marrying Princess Yu'an would bring unrest to the Duke's family and even worry about annihilation of the family.

"I want to see the emperor." Duke Zhongguo insisted on going to see Emperor Mingwen despite Eunuch Mo's obstruction, but Eunuch Mo couldn't stop him.

Inside the political hall

Emperor Mingwen rubbed his eyebrows. Outside the palace, Duke Zhongguo knelt at the foot of the steps and raised the imperial edict, begging him to withdraw it.

After a while, the young father-in-law came to report: "Princess Yunlan wants to see you."

He could not see Duke Zhongguo, but he could not turn away guests from afar, so Emperor Mingwen could only see her.

Princess Yu'an changed from her arrogant and domineering behavior yesterday, and weakly bowed to Emperor Mingwen and saluted: "Yu'an greets the emperor, may the emperor be blessed with peace."

"Princess, there is no need to be polite, just give me a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Princess Yu'an sat on a small stool nearby, her eyes slightly red. Emperor Mingwen pretended not to notice and drank tea lightly, as if he had forgotten that she was a living person.

Princess Yu'an couldn't hold it in any longer, and said softly: "Your Majesty, there are many things I don't understand when I first come here. Because I like the prosperity of Kyoto very much, I feel itchy and unbearable, so I ride my horse on the street, and I am frightened and hit several people on the way.

There were no casualties among the vendors, but Chu Shanggong was aggressive and deliberately forced me to apologize and insulted the face of Yunlan Kingdom."

Even Eunuch Mo couldn't help but curl his lips when he said this. He was really able to put on a show and confuse right and wrong.

Emperor Mingwen didn't speak for a long time and just listened quietly. He didn't say a word until Princess Yu'an made a rake and finished her report.

After not waiting for a response for a long time, Princess Yu'an couldn't help but look up, only to find that Emperor Mingwen was drowsy, looking as if he was about to fall asleep.

"emperor?"

Emperor Mingwen raised his head and looked at Princess Yu'an with a confused expression. He coughed twice from time to time and vomited half a mouthful of blood while holding a handkerchief. Princess Yu'an's face changed slightly in fright. Could it be that Emperor Mingwen's body was really what the rumors said?

Difference?

"Your Majesty, please change it to a new one." Eunuch Mo skillfully took out the handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Emperor Mingwen.

Emperor Mingwen took it and wiped the corner of his mouth. He held his chin with one hand and narrowed his eyes again. Eunuch Mo whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, wake up. The princess is reporting to you."

."

Emperor Mingwen yawned and hummed slowly: "Princess, if you have anything to say, it's okay to say it. You are a guest from afar, and I want to treat you well..." He yawned again while speaking, and looked at Princess Yu'an with dull eyes.

.

Princess Yu'an was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger. At this moment, she was like a mute eating Coptis chinensis and could only swallow it bitterly.

But she was unwilling to give in, so she took a step forward, her voice rose unconsciously, and she repeated what she had just said.

Emperor Mingwen yawned again and again, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes. He quickly wiped them with a handkerchief and said to Princess Yu'an: "The princess just said that letting the horse hurt people is not allowed. This is not the Yunlan Kingdom. It must not be allowed."

Let’s tolerate this.”

"Your Majesty, what I mean is that Chu Shanggong and others offended me yesterday, causing me to hurt someone."

"Princess, how many people did you hurt by riding your horse?"

"Your Majesty, it was Chu Shanggong who hurt someone.

"Princess, tell me again, how seriously injured are those people?"

The two people answered different questions and struggled for a long time. Eunuch Mo almost couldn't help but laugh, secretly thinking that Emperor Mingwen was really clever in pretending to be confused.

Princess Yu'an stomped her feet angrily: "This princess has never hurt anyone, why is the emperor so old and confused!"

"You are so bold, you actually dare to insult the emperor!" Eunuch Mo scolded with a cold face, which made Princess Yu'an tremble with fright and became angry and anxious: "Your Majesty, Chu Shang Palace deliberately framed me, you have to make the decision for me."

The two argued for a long time, and Princess Yu'an's patience gradually ran out. At this time, the Prime Minister and Jing Zhaoyin asked for a meeting together.

Emperor Mingwen yawned heavily: "What's going on today? People come one after another to announce it!"

After a while, the Prime Minister and Jing Zhaoyin came one after another and saluted Emperor Mingwen. Princess Yu'an said to the Prime Minister: "Prime Minister, did Chu Shanggong make me frightened yesterday?"

, killed a dozen of my guards."

The Prime Minister was pointed at his nose and spoke, frowning, very unhappy: "What did the princess say? I haven't seen the overall situation, and I don't know the cause and effect, so I can't evaluate it."

If he spoke for Princess Yu'an, he would be slapping Emperor Mingwen in the face. Which emperor would be willing to see envoys from neighboring countries look down on his own country.

No matter how much the Prime Minister wants to punish Chu Yunning, he can still tell the difference between the inside and the outside.

"Prime Minister, you are protecting Chu Shanggong!" Princess Yu'an said angrily: "I didn't expect that your officials protect each other and do not distinguish between right and wrong."

The Prime Minister was not happy to hear this, and asked: "It is true that the princess hurt others, what's wrong with asking the princess to apologize?"

"I didn't mean it."

"Then Chu Shang Palace asked the princess to apologize. Why has the princess refused to apologize and insulted the people as a mean life?" the Prime Minister said calmly.

Princess Yu'an denied it flatly: "Then the Prime Minister must have heard wrongly. This princess has never said this."

The Prime Minister of the Palace sneered: "Princess Jinguo said, and I am not the only one present. Just ask around and you will know that our country sincerely wants to get married, but the princess has slandered our country again and again. She clearly does not take our country seriously.

Chu Shanggong protects our country’s face, what’s wrong with that?”

"You!" Princess Yu'an didn't understand. Yesterday, the two people were very different from each other. Logically speaking, the Prime Minister should help her deal with Chu Yunning. How could she help Chu Yunning get away from it?

"Your Majesty, I think what Chu Shanggong did was right." After the Prime Minister finished speaking, Jing Zhaoyin also agreed like a man; "Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. It was indeed the princess who was at fault first. Chu Shanggong

It was just justice, nothing wrong."

"Jing Zhaoyin!" Princess Yu'an's beautiful eyes were about to burst into flames as she glared at Jing Zhaoyin fiercely.

Jing Zhaoyin frowned. He was not Princess Yu'an's subordinate. There was no need to listen to her orders. All fools knew that Chu Shanggong was trusted by the emperor and the queen mother. Chu Shanggong represented the emperor when he took action. He was full and full.

Only then can you speak for a powerless foreign princess.

What's more, this is not the first time that Princess Yu'an has gotten into trouble. Counting last night, it has happened three times. The first two times she hurt people, it would be fine if she compensated and appeased those people, but this time it was Princess Yu'an who got into trouble herself.

The gun was on her, so she could only admit that she was unlucky.

Princess Yu'an cried aggrievedly: "You are all bullying me!"

A little girl cried loudly in the palace, and the others looked at each other in confusion, but no one could sympathize with Princess Yu'an, after all, everyone still remembered her arrogant look yesterday.

"Ahem!" Emperor Mingwen continued to cough.

One was coughing and the other was crying. The discordant sounds were mixed together, making it a bit noisy. Prime Minister Gong and Jing Zhaoyin looked at each other, and finally frowned, daring to be angry but afraid to speak.

After a while, Duke Zhongguo's voice came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to meet the old minister."

"Your Majesty, yesterday Chu Shang Palace not only beat me, but also beat Duke Zhongguo for no reason. He is a witness and can prove that Chu Shan Palace provoked me first." Princess Yu'an seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.

How could you forget Duke Zhongguo?

Emperor Mingwen winked at Eunuch Mo, and Eunuch Mo immediately understood and went out to invite Duke Zhongguo.

"My lord, your Majesty, please come in immediately." Gonggong Mo helped Duke Zhong and lowered his voice and said, "It's a matter of the emperor's face. What happened yesterday has caused a storm in the city. Not only did the emperor not blame Chu Shang Palace,

He also privately rewarded me with a thousand acres of fertile land, so please respond carefully."
