C167 (1/2)
The emperor's decree to grant marriage shocked all the civil and military officials of the imperial court. However, the emperor did not give any of his ministers a chance to speak. The emperor didn't even appear in court and declared that he was ill. He only ordered that orders were made to be carried out on the throne room. The courtiers and officials could not help but discuss in discussion. Many courtiers and officials were secretly disappointed by the way the emperor treated the Marquis' Mansion. At the same time, they could not help but sigh.
It was difficult for the current crown prince to retain his position as the crown prince, as the other princes were all vying for it.
The emperor had initially wanted to cripple the crown prince's position as the crown prince and create a different one, but now he had decreed that Princess Taiping should be married to the crown prince. It was clear that he wanted to use this method to destroy Princess Taiping.
After the marriage, the crown prince would be crippled and Yun Zihuang would definitely be implicated. She could only live a dark life in the future.
As for the new heir to the house of the Marquis …
In the entire imperial court, not a single person was optimistic. After being used by the Emperor, he would definitely be an abandoned son, one that would not cause any waves or commotion.
Deep Frost!
This was the ruthlessness and power of an emperor!
Some people were happy while others were sad. The country leader was mixed feelings about this news. He was happy that he could make use of this matter to summon the Marquis Mansion and the imperial guards to support the crown prince. The most worrisome thing was that they didn't know what Princess Pingping meant by that, nor did they know what the commanders of the imperial guards were thinking.
The foreign minister immediately sent for Tie Gang Ying to speak to him in secret, while secretly contacting Yun Chengfeng as well as the commanders of the imperial guards.
If he could obtain the support of the royal guards, his chances of winning would undoubtedly be much greater. He was the country's minister, and his grandson would ascend to the throne, gaining great power. Furthermore, the contribution points required to support them were the greatest. Being the emperor by blood was much better than having a son-in-law who had too much power and influence as an emperor.
The empress and the crown prince who was recuperating from their injuries naturally received the same news. The crown prince was very dissatisfied, but under these circumstances, he didn't dare say anything after being scolded by the empress.
”F * ck!”
”This is too treacherous. You actually still want to scheme against me. I'm not showing off, do you think I'm a sick cat?!”
Yun Zihuang was both angry and amused. The emperor and the injured crown prince had not given up, they were still tormenting themselves. As expected of any father, just like any son, each one more tormenting than the last.
Nian Liu and Nian Bing lowered their heads respectfully at the side, not daring to speak much.
”My cheap old... ”Cough, cough …”
She coughed. ”Anything else?”
”We've already reported back to the princess, but there's no other news for now. The marquis has asked for the princess to come over.”
The two courtyards were linked. She and Yun Fei lived in two separate residences. With the War God King and the Marquis of Braveheart's Mansion, the two of them working together could change the fate of the Tian Yuan Kingdom anytime.
As for who would become the emperor in the end, she didn't really care. Whether it was his cheap father or Feng Qingxiao, they were all millions of times better than the current emperor.
When Yun Fei saw his precious daughter coming over, he was very happy and smiled gently: ”Zi Huang, have you rested well for the past two days?”
”Father, I've rested well. As for you, you shouldn't overwork yourself.”
”You know that I am tired, so why didn't you say that you would come to help me? Girl, when did you learn to talk so glibly?”
”I've been desperately trying to do something. Your words make it seem as if I haven't done anything and am wrongly accused.”
”Little girl, you're becoming more and more sharper with your words. Why did you leave Prince Jingyuan's Mansion?”
