As soon as these words came out, Sicang's expression paused, and then he couldn't help showing joy and tenderness, and nodded gently: "Yes."
So these hands are really useful.
It would be great if he could hold her for the rest of his life, Si Cang prayed silently in his heart, expecting his wish to come true.
But before that, there were always people who wanted to deal with her.
"The Emperor wants to grant a marriage to His Highness." Sicang sat down next to Yun Zishu, and without beating around the bush, he went straight to the point in one sentence, "This subordinate has just received the news."
Marriage?
Yun Zishu was silent for a moment and looked at him with a frown: "Who are you going to marry this time?"
"The direct grandson of the Wu family, Wu Yuxiao."
Yun Zishu blinked, "So this is the reason why Wu Jingyi urgently asked for help when Wu Taifu was in mourning?"
Sicang nodded.
Yun Zishu clicked her tongue: "I seem to have become the evil star that everyone in the imperial city is afraid of. The emperor wants to grant me a marriage to their family, as if he wants to destroy their whole family."
"Your Highness is not a evil star." Sicang pursed his lips, his expression a little tense, "Don't talk about yourself like that."
Yun Zishu said: "I am just making a metaphor."
Sicang was silent for a while and then hummed softly.
"What do you think?"
Si Cang said: "His Highness and the Wu family are not at odds with each other. The Emperor wants to marry His Highness to Wu Yuxiao for the same purpose as when he gave the marriage to Xiao Yunheng. He wants to kill His Highness through the hands of others."
Yun Zishu sighed deeply: "My father's desire to get rid of me has not diminished at all."
But she clearly wanted to get rid of him, but she didn't want the Feng family and the Queen Mother to suspect him. Isn't it tiring to be an emperor and do this?
If a daughter really bothers him, he can just leave her outside the house to fend for herself. If he sees her, it will remind him that his blood is impure, and the worst he can do is never see her again.
For the high-ranking Ninth Five Supreme Being, this should be an easy thing to do - at least much easier than getting rid of her by the hands of others.
But he just wanted to get rid of her.
Yun Zishu melancholy said: "In terms of establishing the crown prince, I think my father is actually quite wise. He threw Concubine Wu and Yun Chen out as bait to protect the crown prince he really cares about. But when it comes to dealing with this palace,
I always feel like he is a fool, a fool who has no brains at all but acts impulsively."
Sicang agreed with her words and felt that the emperor was crazy.
But there is nothing wrong with being stunned.
The more paranoid you are, the easier it is to deal with. The more anxious you are, the easier it is to make irrational decisions.
If the emperor is too patient, it will be difficult to deal with it.
Yun Zishu didn't take the matter of marriage seriously. She knew in her heart that the Wu family was more anxious than she was, and they couldn't just watch her marry Wu Yuxiao.
However, although she was not in a hurry, Si Cang could not pretend that this incident had not happened. Zi Shu's marriage was not the emperor's means to deal with her. Whether it could succeed or not was one thing. Si Cang just could not tolerate the emperor's repeated use of Zi Shu's
Marriage as a bargaining chip.
He ordered Leng Shuang to find out what was going on in Princess Jinning's mansion, and the news reached him in the evening.
"Miss Wu told Princess Jinning about the marriage. Princess Jinning's plan is to completely get rid of the princess in order to stop this marriage." Leng Shuang always spoke concisely and to the point, only telling the key information, "But they themselves don't
Who will take action has not yet been decided."
Sicang's eyebrows were as cold as frost, making it impossible to know what he was thinking.
The next morning, after the emperor went to court, a piece of information was submitted to the imperial court.
"Dongyou is going to marry Dayong?" The emperor sat behind the court, frowning at the sudden information, "Is the news true?"
"It's true." Sicang said indifferently, "I have confirmed this matter from my humble position. The envoy from Dongyou is already on his way to Dayong."
The emperor's tone was deep: "They want to marry the princess?"
Si Cang remained silent for a moment, "No."
"What does that mean?" The emperor looked up at him, "Their emperor is not young, is it possible that he still wants to marry the princess of Dayong?"
Si Cang narrowed his eyes, and his voice was so calm that no emotion could be heard: "Prince Dongyou wants to marry the legitimate princess of Dayong."
What?
The emperor's face changed slightly: "How do you know?"
"I just found out the news." Sicang said calmly, "Prince Dongyou is a warlike person, and after this mission to Dayong, it is very likely that he will return to inherit the throne."
Inherit the throne?
The emperor frowned: "Why?"
He knew that Emperor Dongyou was a warlike man. He was in his third year when he conquered the small country to the east. He was only in his fifties now. How could he abdicate so early?
"Emperor Dongyou's dragon body is not in good health." One sentence is enough to explain the reason for his abdication.
Emperor Zhaoming's eyes fell on Sicang's face, and the color in his eyes was dark. After a while, he said coldly: "Sicang, you haven't replied to me about what I told you before."
He said that he could grant a marriage to Sicang and Zishu, but the condition was that Sicang must abolish his martial arts, hand over the power of commanding the Shadow Pavilion, and live a good life with Zishu from now on, and never interfere with the affairs of the court.
He asked Sicang to think about it for three days.
However, after that day, Sicang did not give him any reply, and openly went in and out of Uncle Fengguo's house with Zishu.
Emperor Zhaoming knew that his conversation with Taifu Wu last night might have been known to Sicang, so he did not completely believe the news about Dongyou's marriage at this time.
He was more willing to believe that this was false news deliberately released by Sicang because he did not want Zishu to get married.
So at this time he asked again.
Si Cang said calmly: "I don't want to do this because of my humble position."
Emperor Zhaoming looked coldly: "Are you unwilling to marry Zishu, or are you unwilling to abandon your martial arts skills?"
Si Cang lowered his eyebrows: "A humble position is not worthy of a princess."
Emperor Zhaoming's eyes darkened: "I told you before that if you don't want to, I will choose a suitable husband for Zishu among the noble sons of the family."
Sicang remained indifferent and silent.
Emperor Zhaoming threw the information on the case and said gloomily: "Whether this information is true or false, it will not affect my decision to marry Zishu. If Dongyou really wants to get married, I can let the eighth princess marry her."
"What they want is the princess." Sicang reminded indifferently, "The humble position is only responsible for submitting information. All decisions are made by the emperor. The humble position dare not interfere."
After saying that, he bowed slightly and said, "I resign from my humble position."
Emperor Zhaoming said nothing and stared at his leaving figure without saying a word. Si Cang's tall and thin figure quickly disappeared from sight without even the slightest hesitation, as if he really just came to deliver information.
Emperor Zhaoming lowered his eyes and looked at the information on the imperial case, with a deep thought on his face.
