Su Qian Xing frowned and walked into the hall towards his seat, ”I didn't say that.”

”Then what do you mean? ”Su Qianxing, don't forget, it was you who sent a message to my mufei saying that you wanted to marry the Jin Kingdom, and I believed your words and had Ling'er probe Su Qianhan. This was originally done in private, but now it has gone to royal father, if this goes on, the marriage is inevitable.

He came here to find a mutually beneficial partner, not to be suppressed by others. From Su Qianhan's way of doing things, he seemed to be able to be restrained by others.

”Don't worry, I will take care of this matter.” Su Qianxing said in a low voice, ”I understand Xiao Qingran. Although she doesn't seem to care on the surface, she must be angry in private. She's going to make a move soon. If anything goes wrong with Su Qianhan, we must protect her.”

”Two birds with one stone? Heh ~ ”Zhao Jin sneered,” You said the same thing before, but now I see that Xiao Qing Qing didn't have much of a reaction and actually made it difficult for me. I really don't know if you're going to deal with them or me.

These words caused Su Qian Xing's heart to skip a beat. Although the fourth prince was immature at times, that didn't mean he was an idiot. Previously, he came here because he thought it was profitable, but if he wasn't given enough things, he would definitely retreat.

Honestly speaking, he didn't expect that the other side would take it seriously. Although it was true that Zhao Jin came here on orders to get married, the Emperor of Jin didn't send out any death orders. He only came to investigate, so when the princess was messing around with Zhao Jin during the welcoming banquet, she didn't notice.

But now, why …

Su Qian Xing's gaze darkened as a figure flashed through his mind.

The Queen Mother!

Very good, Xiao Qing Ran! I've actually thought of this, I've really underestimated you!

However, he didn't immediately make it clear that he was threatening her and just said, ”I hope that Your Highness will resolve this issue well. I don't want to come back to the Great Summon and cause any trouble, but if Your Highness can't resolve it, then that's fine, I have a sister here anyways.”

He paused, and then laughed, ”Actually, if the marriage between the two nations is not a bad thing from another perspective, and if I can help Su Qianhan ascend to the throne, it would be beneficial for me. Even if he is not someone who can be suppressed, it would not matter.

These words were purposely said to provoke Su Qian Xing.

Su Qian Xing, however, naturally did not. He calmed himself down and said, ”I know that the Fourth Prince is anxious, but rest assured that no matter how this matter ends up, I promise that I will let the Fourth Prince have what you want and not implicate you.”

The man in front of him cared the most about benefits. As long as he could give those things to him, it would be fine.

As expected, after hearing his words, Zhao Jin's face slightly recovered. He coldly snorted and stood up, ”Since Your Highness has said so, I will wait a little longer. I hope that the Fourth Prince can come up with a good plan to not make things difficult for everyone.”

”Alright, I will settle this as soon as possible.” Su Qianxing was calming him down.

”It's getting late. This prince has finished what he needed to say. I should go back now. Your Highness, there's no need to send me off.” Zhao Jin cupped her hands together and left.

Su Qianxing watched him leave and called for a servant to send him off. Then, the coldness in his eyes rose rapidly, ”Qingshui, prepare the carriage for me. I want to go to the palace.”

”Yes.”

Su Qian Xing panicked. Xiao Qing Ran's actions had completely disrupted his plans. It was just that Su Qian Xing didn't know that what she wanted to do was not just disrupt his plans; it was just the beginning.

Recently, the atmosphere in both the imperial court and the imperial court was very strange. Everyone had heard the news of the marriage alliance between the two countries, but the strange thing was that Sang He still hadn't been summoned.

The two sides had been in a stalemate for about eight to nine days when the news came from the Jin Kingdom that the king of the Kingdom of Jin was ill. The fourth prince had to return quickly.

This news came without any warning and caught some people off guard.

However, at this critical juncture, Zhao Jin, who should have taken the opportunity to return home, did not rush back. Instead, she sent Su Mo a note requesting for Zhao Ling'er and Su Qianhan to marry each other.
