Chapter 53 (1/2)

Bang!! (A loud sound)

Yang Hong Tian’s hands ferociously slapped the top of the long table, letting out a loud sound, everyone who heard it was fearful, not limited to the people who were inside the palace hall, even Gao Jin’s heartbeat who was guarding at the outside of the palace hall was trembling incessantly when he heard it.

He wanted to marry her!

Once these words came out, Yan Hong Tian’s rage was burning, Zhuo Qing was stunned, Qing Feng was absent minded for a moment…… “You said that you wanted to marry her as a wife just now?”

The inside of the palace hall was deathly silent, Yan Hong Tian’s low voice was especially gloomy and cold. Zhuo Qing and Qing Feng looked one glance, unconsciously swallowed their salivas. Only Lou Xi Yan was remained in that respectful and tranquil attitude, as if he had not seen Yan Hong Tian’s angry appearance, calmly answered: “Yes.”

“Impossible.” The sound came out from pressing in between his teeth, but not knowing whether he was angry towards Lou Xi Yan or towards Zhuo Qing, in short, only the chilly wind was blowing.

Glaring at Lou Xi Yan, Yan Hong Tian did not have a good complexion just now, clearly annoyed and said: “Lou qing (high ranking official) jia (family), you are equivalent to a Qiong Yue’s first rank prime minister, she is a tribute from a small country, absolutely does not fit to become your wife. If you really want to take a wife urgently, Zhen will immediately bestow you a wedding with Princess Chao Yun. The families are well matched in term of social status, talented man and beautiful woman.”

“Chen and Princess Chao Yun are always scrupulously abided by a ruler and minister rules, Chen does not dare to have any wrong wish.” He would request to be granted the marriage, firstly because of Qing Ling, secondly because of Yan Ru Xuan. If he got married soon, it would also let her to break off the long wish shortly.

Yan Hong Tian coldly groaned: “Zhen will only bestow a marriage between you and Xuan-er, as for these two people, they are exchanging identities and fooling the monarch, also randomly lying and falsifying, they should be in the Imperial prison while they are being investigated!”

“The Emperor is bright, their words are not necessarily lies, as long as we send someone to go to Hao Yue to meet the officials who have sent them here to seek for confirmation, naturally we can know whether or not they actually speak the truth. Chen and Qing Ling have interacted for half a month, Chen also believes that she is not this kind of person, additionally hopes for the Emperor’s clear investigation.”

“Everything will wait until their investigation afterwards, then we will make a decision, they will have to go to the Imperial prison for now to wait for the investigation.” Inquiring, he absolutely must inquire, he, Yan Hong Tian was unable to tolerate a trace of deception and trick. It would be best that their words were genuine, otherwise he would let them know what the consequence was to deceive him! But they could only stay in the Imperial prison at this time.

Zhuo Qing actually had not exposed too much fear, Qing Feng’s face also showed only stubbornness, but Lou Xi Yan’s eyes showed a trace of anxiety.

“Chen is requesting earnestly that the Emperor will grant Qing Ling to return to Chen’s manor, she will be guarded at the Prime Minister’s manor. Before the investigation is completed, Chen will not allow her to go for even half a step out of the Prime Minister’s manor.” Staying at that prison place, a person would be unable to forget it forever, even if she came out later on, she would not be same person.

Lou Xi Yan was calm from the beginning to the end, his face rarely had any wave, but he repeatedly was offering words of advice, Yan Hong Tian looked at his expression with more and more cold staring.

Heaven ah, what was going on with Lou Xi Yan today? Even though he was making a supreme effort to protect and make Zhuo Qing touched emotionally, but she was still inevitably anxious for him. After all, that Emperor looked as if he was in a bad mood to be provoked. Qing Feng was exceptionally satisfied with this future older sister’s husband, he seemed to be warm and a gentle man unexpectedly. He actually had this kind of courage, he could let elder sister to depend on him! But….. hesitating to look towards that high position terrible man, Lou Xi Yan would not only live for today, right………. Fortunately, their anticipation of blood splashing on the scene did not happen, Yan Hong Tian coldly withdrew his line of sight, lowly shouted: “Gao Jin.”
