A few years ago, being able to marry King Han would have been a great gift, but now... King Han is poisoned and is dying soon. It is said that he will not survive this year.
Moreover, King Han is moody, cruel, and murderous. Wouldn't marrying him be courting death?
Prime Minister Gu carefully speculated on the holy intention.
His third daughter is not only ugly, but she can't even read a few Chinese characters. King Han has a lot of troops and great power, so he betrothed his daughter to King Han. Isn't that a blatant humiliation of King Han?
Although the Emperor and Prince Han did not get along in the past, at least they were able to maintain a relationship on the surface. With this marriage, I am afraid that the Emperor and Prince Han will declare war head-on.
The corner of Gu Chunuan's mouth twitched, and three black lines slid down his forehead.
Do the emperors of the Night Kingdom like to grant marriages to people so much?
After finally canceling one marriage, another one comes. Does this mean you are not willing to marry her off, right?
Eunuch Ma, who was delivering the decree, smiled and said, "The emperor said that the third lady's marriage was given by the late emperor. Now...now that King Ze has suddenly contracted a serious illness, he is afraid that he will die soon. In order not to delay the third lady, he has canceled it."
engagement."
Gu Chunuan sneered.
Yesterday, dragons and tigers were born, but today I am seriously ill, who can I blame?
"The emperor also said that he was ashamed of the Third Miss, so he promised you to the current God of War, Prince Han. From now on, one person is inferior to the other, and more than ten thousand people. Third Miss, please accept the order."
Eunuch Ma handed the imperial edict to her.
Gu Chunuan did not accept the order, but looked at Eunuch Ma with a half-smile, "Eunuch, do you think the God of War would keep you in mind if he knew that you were preaching this order?"
She deliberately emphasized the word "special".
Eunuch Ma trembled, fear flashed in his eyes.
Prime Minister Gu scolded him, "You are so impudent. Your Majesty has issued an order. How can you resist the order? Why don't you accept it quickly?"
"So what if I don't pick up."
"Resisting an edict will lead to the death of the whole family. If you don't accept the edict, will the whole family of the Prime Minister's house be killed?"
"Just behead the whole family. Anyway, we will still be a family in the next life."
After Gu Chunuan finished speaking, the corner of his mouth raised a sarcastic arc, and he left gracefully while everyone was stunned.
Hiss...
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Gu Chunuan is too crazy.
She even dares to disobey the emperor's imperial edict, and she wants to die?
Gu Chulan was angry and blocked her way, "I don't care if you want to die, but you can't bring trouble to the Prime Minister's house, so hurry up and receive the order."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, my sister is really righteous. If you are really here for the Prime Minister's Mansion, then go and pick her up."
"The Emperor is granting you a marriage to the God of War, Prince Han, not me."
"Although you are a concubine, at least you are better-looking than me. I think if the Emperor Gongsheng listens, maybe the Emperor will change his mind and marry you to the God of War."
"If I really marry into Prince Han's Mansion, will I still be alive?"
Gu Chunuan spread his hands, "Yes, I will die if I marry, and if I don't marry, I will die. If I don't marry, there will be more than a hundred people from the Prime Minister's Mansion to bury me with me. I will not be alone in the underworld. In this case, I
Why do you want to accept the imperial edict? If any of you want to accept it, just go and accept it."
Asshole.
This bastard daughter.
If Eunuch Ma hadn't been here, Prime Minister Gu would have wanted Gu Chunuan beaten to death.
Seeing her arrogantly leaving, no one in the Prime Minister's Palace could react for a long time.
Wasn't Gu Chunuan always timid and cowardly, with no independent opinion? What a ghost today, he actually dared to refuse marriage in public, and the person he refused was the powerful Lord Han, the god of war.
Doesn't she know that as long as the God of War moves his finger, their Prime Minister's Mansion will be reduced to ashes?
Fifth Yiniang acted dissatisfied and said, "Master, look at Miss Third, she is becoming more and more unruly. She even dares to disobey the imperial edict."
Prime Minister Gu has nothing to do with Gu Chunuan now. He can only quickly please the angry Eunuch Ma and prevent Eunuch Ma from adding jealousy in front of the emperor, otherwise their Prime Minister's Mansion will really suffer a disaster.
He quickly stuffed a bag of gold leaves into Eunuch Ma, and smiled flatteringly, "Eunuch, my third daughter has been spoiled by me, and she doesn't do anything big or small. Don't worry, I will definitely teach her a lesson, and I will definitely follow the imperial edict.
If you ask her to pick it up, please say a few kind words in front of the Holy One."
"Since Third Miss is unwell and unable to accept the imperial edict, Prime Minister Gu, please accept it on her behalf. If Third Miss's sedan chair is not delivered to Prince Han's Mansion on the first day of next month, your Prime Minister's Mansion will be waiting to be punished by the three clans."
Before Prime Minister Gu could react, Eunuch Ma had already placed the imperial edict in his hands and left with a large bag full of gold leaves.
Prime Minister Gu looked at the imperial edict in his hand and then at Eunuch Ma who was leaving, feeling uneasy.
The emperor was determined to marry Chunuan to King Han, but they couldn't help but disagree. It seemed that the previous battle between the emperor and King Han was much more serious than he imagined.
In the study, Prime Minister Gu was in a daze looking at the imperial edict. Wu Yiniang brought a bowl of white fungus soup over and said softly, "Master, you are still thinking about the imperial edict."
"En." Accepting the order will offend King Han, and not accepting the order will offend the emperor. No matter which side it is, he cannot afford to offend.
Fifth Yiniang rolled her eyes and said leisurely, "I heard that King Han was assassinated not long ago, which caused the old poison to relapse. Now I can't suppress it. I'm afraid I won't survive this year. And the emperor is in his youth and married again."
I have made the most beloved princess of Emperor Chu as my concubine, and my power is rising. If I have to offend someone, I think it would be better to offend King Han. After all, no matter how powerful he is in the world, he is only a short-lived ghost."
"How could I not know this? King Han has the most powerful troops in the world. If he really wants to murder the Prime Minister's Mansion, I'm afraid the Prime Minister's Mansion will not be able to resist at all..."
"Then the master wants to side with King Han?"
Prime Minister Gu shook his head without thinking, "Of course not. King Han has a volatile temperament. Even if I seek refuge with him, he may not protect me, and..." And he doesn't have the life to protect him.
If the Prime Minister's Mansion wants to survive for eternity, it must rely on the current emperor.
Wu Yiniang has been with Prime Minister Gu for many years and has long understood what Prime Minister Gu is thinking.
She smiled charmingly and said, "In that case, why don't I stand by the Emperor completely? The Emperor is no longer the Emperor he used to be. As long as I am determined and the Emperor is employing people, he will not treat us badly."
"You're right. Since you have to offend someone, let's stand firm."
Although most of the soldiers and horses of the Night Kingdom are in the hands of the God of War, Lord Han, General Xiao also has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.
The Xiao family has been loyal to the emperor and patriotic for generations. Although the two are not helping each other now, if a fight really breaks out, General Xiao should be on the side of the emperor.
"Master, I think you can advise the emperor to let the third lady enter the Royal Academy to study. The third lady will soon be Princess Han. It is always beneficial to her to learn more things, and it can also show the emperor's respect for Prince Han.
respect."
Prime Minister Gu carefully considered Wu Yiniang's words and roughly understood what she meant.
The Royal Academy is the highest academy in the Kingdom of Night. It has always been open to only the descendants of the royal family and the children of outstanding officials. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to enter.
In the Kingdom of Night, everyone is proud to be able to study in the Royal Academy.
