When the emperor came, Xie Suyu happened to be eating chestnut cake. As soon as he saw the emperor, he stood up quickly: "Father!"
When the emperor saw Xie Suyu, he frowned slightly: "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to pay my respects!" the queen said softly, "I happened to make chestnut cake, so let him eat some before leaving!"
The emperor nodded: "Yes!"
The room suddenly fell silent. Xie Suyu understood that the emperor probably had something to say and wanted to speak to the queen alone, so he quickly stood up and left: "There are still things at my son's house. I'm going back first!"
Naturally, the emperor and empress would not keep him. After saying a few words, they let Xie Suyu leave.
As soon as Xie Suyu left, the prince and Zhu Han, who looked haggard, were brought into the palace.
Xie Suyu met the prince at the gate of the palace and wanted to talk to him, but he didn't want the prince to pass him directly and walk straight in.
Xie Suyu looked back at Xie Suxian's back, and for a sudden moment, he felt that he was very embarrassed.
Just when Xie Suyu thought that things were almost over here, he heard a rumor.
"...I heard that this girl from the Zhu family went to the Prince's Mansion to look for the prince, but was surprised to be kept by the prince until midnight. You said this is a lonely man and a widow..."
"Who says it's not the case? Let me tell you, this woman should be more reserved, so as not to lose the face of her whole family!"
"This man is the same. He doesn't want to eat anything that comes to his door. He doesn't know how to choose. He wants everything!"
After Xie Suyu heard the rumors, he went to Meng Hetong angrily.
When he found Meng Hetong, he was reading a book in the Yongchang Hou Mansion. It was so rare that Xie Suyu's anger was suddenly poured out by a basin of water.
"Why did you come here so angry to settle a score with me?" Meng Hetong put away the book in his hand and looked at Xie Suyu.
Xie Suyu paused, and then asked: "Did you spread the rumors?"
Meng Hetong was stunned for a moment, and then immediately responded: "Are you talking about the Zhu family girl and the prince?"
Xie Suyu immediately became angry: "Did you really pass it on?"
"Of course it's not me!" Meng Hetong frowned, "If word gets out, if one person is not careful, she could force the entire Zhu family to death. I can't do this!"
"Is that Miss Xu?" Xie Suyu frowned.
Meng Hetong shook his head: "As soon as I heard the news this morning, I asked someone to investigate. The news came from the Zhu family!"
Xie Suyu frowned: "Zhu family? Are they crazy?"
"It is Zhu Han who is crazy!" Meng Hetong sighed, "She is using this method to force the Zhu family to submit, and she is even forcing His Majesty to submit!"
Xie Suyu was silent for a long time, and then he understood!
If all the girls of the Zhu family were killed for the sake of the prince, if such a thing really happened, the emperor would face a lot of criticism, and the image of a wise king he had worked hard to maintain for many years would be shattered overnight.
This daughter of the Zhu family is really crazy!
"I've checked and it turns out that Zhu Han really likes the prince. By taking this step, she is exchanging her life for the prince's look back at her. This can be considered as a sign of deep love!" Meng Hetong said softly, "It's a pity..."
Xie Suyu raised his eyes and looked at Meng Hetong: "What's the pity?"
"It's a pity that she likes the prince, and she entrusts her to someone else!" Meng Hetong said helplessly, and then sat back down.
Xie Suyu was silent for a long time, and then asked: "What should we do next, or should we continue to wait?"
"It depends on what the Wang family does next!" Meng Hetong frowned, "If the Wang family just endures this tone, there will be nothing we can do, but Mr. Wang is not a person without a temper. He will probably make a scene, but There are bound to be variables here!”
Xie Suyu lowered his eyes and said after a long time: "Miss Wang... I only want her to be happy and beautiful in the rest of her life, and I won't force it!"
Meng Hetong looked up at Xie Suyu, half-smiling but not smiling: "Are you willing?"
"So what if she doesn't want to be reconciled?" Xie Suyu smiled bitterly, "After she was given the marriage to the prince, I understood that our fate was very shallow. Even if her engagement with the prince was invalidated, she would never be able to marry me to the royal family again. Together they might be even lower..."
Meng Hetong looked at Xie Suyu. He understood what he said, but for some reason, he always felt that since Xu Qingmo agreed to Wang Xianyu, he would definitely be able to do it.
"Wait a minute!" Meng Hetong suddenly said.
"What?" Xie Suyu was stunned for a moment.
"Since Xu Qingmo asked us to wait, let's wait patiently. I think she always has other ways!" Meng Hetong said softly.
Xie Suyu fell silent. He really couldn't think of any other way. But for some reason, he still held on to the slightest hope.
Zhu Han's move was a dead end, and in the end he had no choice but to make the emperor compromise!
The emperor felt resentful, but he had to grant the marriage. He only felt that he was angry, and even the angry dinner was of no use!
The most unexpected thing is that after receiving the news, the Grand Master of the Imperial Palace went to the palace overnight and begged the emperor to take back the imperial edict and was unwilling to marry another daughter of the Wang family to the prince's house.
The emperor was so angry and flustered that he sat on the chair for a long time before he calmed down: "It's just that there are so many concubines, how can you..."
"We Chen's granddaughter has been in our hands since she was little. She has a very simple mind. Originally, Wei Chen didn't want her to marry into the royal family, but the prince is honest and honest, so Wei Chen is moved. He feels that the prince will treat her My granddaughter cares about you!" Grand Bachelor Diange said softly.
"The prince will naturally care for her!" the emperor said.
"Your Majesty!" The grand master of the palace raised his head and looked at the emperor, "You and I are both men. How can the orders of parents and the words of a matchmaker compare to the happiness of two people?"
The emperor has a headache!
The emperor naturally knew that the prince and the girl from the Zhu family were not in love, but he could not say this to the Grand Master. He was so angry that he vomited blood, but he could not say anything.
"His Majesty!"
"I know!" The emperor interrupted the Grand Master, "I will consider it!"
Seeing that the emperor was angry, the Grand Scholars of the Imperial Palace did not want to pursue him too closely, so they had to get up and leave.
After Xu Qingmo learned about the palace scholar entering the palace overnight, he asked Qu Lian to fly a kite in the Wang family's backyard at dawn the next day.
When the kite broke off and landed in Wang Xianyu's backyard, Qu Lian went to knock on the door to ask for the kite. By the way, she passed the message to the maid who came to deliver the kite: "When the cold wind blows, you are susceptible to wind and cold. Please put on more clothes, girl, to avoid catching cold." Stay in bed!”
After Wang Xianyu received the message from Xu Qingmo, she thought about it for a long time. That night, she developed a high fever because of too much thinking and the cold wind blowing.
