Chapter 1536: Proposing a Marriage to Emperor Xia Chapter 1536: Proposing a Marriage to Emperor Xia Xu Xing understood.
As a person of Plan No.
1, how could he not know about the confrontation in the royal study last time?
“Is it suitable?” he asked hesitantly.
” Destroying the Heavenly Piercing Holy Land, 26 sects, and Bai Xiuli is enough.
Of course, it’s just my share.”
“Will it affect Uncle Jiu and the others?”
“I won’t!” Zhang Ronghua reassured him.
” Their credit belongs to them.
…
Even if it affects them, as long as it can help you, I believe no one will refuse.
I really feel bad.
When this matter is over, I’ll treat everyone to a drink.”
Xu Xing’s worried heart was put down, and he cupped his hands.
“Good!” Zhang Ronghua agreed with a smile.
After entering the room, Zheng Qingyu helped him change into the Qilin robe and brought Xu Xing to the front yard.
The Tianji carriage was already prepared.
The two of them got on the carriage and rushed towards the Vermilion Bird Gate.
The news of their return spread immediately.
In the royal study.
” He’s back!” Wei Shang came in from outside and stopped beside the throne.” He’s back!”
The Xia Emperor continued to read through the memorials, the imperial brush in his hand never stopping.
” He also brought a pregnant woman with a hood.
Jiu Xuanji is watching over her personally and she’s in the True Dragon Palace.”
The Xia Emperor’s hand trembled, and the tip of his brush swiped, destroying the memorial.
He put down the brush, and Wei Shang hurriedly caught it and hung it on the brush stand.
“Bai Xiuli?”
“It should be!”
“Not born yet?”
“The people below have come to report that she will be giving birth in the next two days,” Wei Shang said.
He added.
” Since noon, Xu Xing has been waiting in his courtyard for him to return.
After the two of them met, he rode the Heaven Secrets Chariot over.”
“You won’t give me any way out!” Emperor Xia’s eyes flashed coldly.
Wei Shang knew that with his two contributions, the Emperor would not be able to reject him if he gave up the reward and proposed marriage.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t, but once he refused, he didn’t need to do anything else.
He just needed to spread the word a little.
Emperor Xia was harsh on those who had made contributions, and his reputation would be tarnished.
Who would dare to serve him in the future?
There was also another point.
If Bai Xiuli did not hand it over, the royal bloodline would be scattered outside, and they would have to be on tenterhooks.
There were too many things a prince could do!
He would not have done this before he had shed all pretense of cordiality.
He would have killed the Pingnan Prince’s Mansion.
Both sides had made their positions clear and were just short of falling out.
Even if they asked, Zhang Ronghua and the others could find a pregnant woman to hide Bai Xiuli and her son.
Without sufficient evidence, there was nothing they could do even if they knew that he had her.
“Has the news spread?”the Xia Emperor asked.
“Not yet.” Wei Shang explained.
“The people below have just set up a trap.
For now, the news is only limited to the outside world.
It will take a few days for it to reach Great Xia before everyone knows.”
The Xia Emperor shook his head.
They will also attack.”
Wei Shang understood who he was referring to.
The Empress, the three dukes, the darkness…Even the Shang Emperor.
“The news will reach the capital before nightfall tomorrow at the latest,”the Xia Emperor continued.
” Before he left the capital, he went to the Fate Academy.
Although I don’t know what they talked about, from Yang Hongling’s perspective, he’s still living in the Zhang Mansion these few days.
He must be very happy.
Will the old teacher leave now?”
“To be able to fight with me until now, you have to believe in their abilities!”
“Where’s Uncle Shi?”
“No rush!” the Xia Emperor said.
” Take your time to boil the frog in warm water.
If the heat is too high, it’s inevitable that the dog will jump over the wall in desperation.”
Thump!
Thump!
There was a knock on the palace door.
Eunuch Xiao’s voice came from outside, interrupting their conversation.
In the past, there was no need to knock on the door.
Ever since the confrontation between Zhang Ronghua and the Emperor, Wei Shang had ordered that no matter what the matter was, they had to follow the rules.
“Your Majesty, Xia Hou requests an audience!”
Wei Shang returned to his original position, his face taut and motionless.
“Announce!” the Xia Emperor said.
The door of the hall was pushed open.
Zhang Ronghua came in from outside, and Eunuch Xiao closed the door from outside.
“Greetings, Your Majesty!” He stopped three steps away from the platform and bowed.
Xu Xing did not come over and waited at Xuanwei Gate.
“How is it?” The Xia Emperor put on a smile, giving off a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze.
” I didn’t disappoint you,” Zhang Ronghua said.” The news is true.
The True Dragon Palace and the Crimson Heaven Palace worked together.
Under the desperate attacks of Jiu Xuanji, Lu Zhantang, and the others, they eventually overcame the difficulties.
With the Heaven Piercing Holy Land as the leader, they killed all 26 sects under their jurisdiction.”
He looked ashamed.
“The battle was too intense.
I wanted to get their wealth, but the Qi that came out of the battle was too strong.
It destroyed everything and some people even suffered heavy losses.”
Emperor Xia’s heart turned cold.
With the strength of the two departments, even if they did not mobilize all of their forces, the Heavenly Piercing Holy Land would not be able to resist them.
Otherwise, the Great Xia would have been destroyed long ago.
These people would not have hidden in the outside world.
They had clearly pocketed all the wealth, yet they still dared to ask for rewards for their subordinates.
If it was not for the fact that the Dragon-Slaying Alliance had not been destroyed, and the matter of the old teacher and Uncle Shi had not been resolved, they would have been the first to be dealt with.
His smile did not fade.
He waved his hand.” If some worldly possessions are destroyed, so be it.
I will send someone to send a batch of spirit herbs and pills over.
Let them recover as soon as possible.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Zhang Ronghua said.
“I still have one more thing.”
“Speak!” the Xia Emperor said.
“Assistant Minister Xu and the Eighth Princess have a good impression of each other.
I will be the matchmaker for them.
Your Majesty, please bestow the marriage!”
“This is a good thing.” The Xia Emperor’s smile grew wider.
“Since they are in love with each other, Xu Xing’s status is also sufficient.
If I stop him, I will be an evil person.
Tell him that I have approved of this matter.
I will let the Ministry of Rites choose an auspicious day to set their marriage.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Zhang Ronghua told him about how he had captured Bai Xiuli.
