He felt like a fool who had been tricked.
"Okay, since that's the case, I agree that you two will get married in one month."
According to the rules, Emperor Xiwu and Prince Fu Heng will get married in Lanhundu, and then return to Hengwu Kingdom to get married again.
Although Lan Huang didn't like Lan Zuiwu, this was a national wedding after all, representing the political marriage between the two countries, so their wedding ceremony needed to be extremely grand, and it would take a month for the whole palace to prepare for the wedding.
What? Getting married in a month? When Chu Mubai heard this, he felt like the world was spinning and he almost fainted on the spot.
Fu Heng immediately saluted and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! This is Hengwu's blessing!"
Back at the annex where he was staying, Chu Mubai couldn't bear it any longer. He took off the mask on his face and dropped it heavily to the ground. He clenched his fists and looked at Fu Heng angrily. The white-faced prince in front of me was really infuriating. I really wanted to step forward and punch him hard.
Seeing Chu Mubai's angry look, Fu Heng couldn't help but cover his mouth with his sleeves, laughed, and said, "Mubai, why are you angry?"
"You actually proposed marriage to Lan Huang, and you actually want to marry Zui Wu as your wife?"
Bu Ya stepped forward and said:
"Mr. Chu, you have to understand that even if my Highness does not propose marriage to the Blue Emperor, there will be other princes who will propose marriage to the Blue Emperor. After all, the power of Blue Soul City is only a handful in the entire Tianyin Divine Continent! That's it! What country wouldn’t want to win over a powerful empire?”
"Marriage is the best way! Besides, my Highness is not married. When this girl comes to our Hengwu Kingdom, she will be the Crown Princess. If my Highness becomes the Emperor in the future, she will be the Queen!"
When Chu Mubai heard this, his face turned pale, and his heart felt painful. Yes, he was just a commoner, how could he compare with others? She will be the queen in the future! Chu Mubai suddenly felt despair, staggered and fell on the chair, lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing his dejected look, like a prodigal dog, Fu Heng rolled his sleeves and snickered. He turned to look at the guard Bu Ya and whispered: "Bu Ya, you are not good!"
Bu Ya immediately made a face. He saw his master having fun. As a little golden guard, of course he had to do his duty and make his master have more fun.
Fu Heng sat down and picked up the wine bottle on the table to pour himself a glass of wine. Unexpectedly, Chu Mubai on the side snatched it away, took a wine glass, poured wine into it, and raised his head. He took a sip, feeling that he couldn't relieve his anger at all, so he poured three more glasses in a row and drank by himself.
Fu Heng suppressed his laughter and said, "Uh... Mu Bai, what's wrong with you?" He was obviously pretending not to know, and deliberately irritating him again.
Chu Mubai's eyes turned red and he raised his head to look at Fu Heng angrily, but hesitated to speak.
Fu Heng laughed and said teasingly: "Mubai, what's wrong with you? It makes you seem to have a crush on me! Is it because you're unhappy when you heard that I'm getting married?"
"Pfft -" Chu Mubai spit out a mouthful of wine. He didn't expect Fu Heng to be an even more narcissistic master than him. This shameless guy is really abominable!
Fu Heng raised his head and laughed, then patted his shoulder and said slowly: "Mu Bai, stop drinking. If you really like drunk dancing, just say it openly!"
"You...you know that I like drunken dancing?" Chu Mubai was choked so much that his face turned red and there was worry in his eyes.
With tears in her eyes, she looked at Fu Heng in shock.
Bu Ya, who was standing next to Fu Heng, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, I'm afraid everyone in Da Yang Mansion knows that you like Miss Lan. Only Miss Lan herself doesn't know!"
Chu Mubai stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said blankly: "Ah? Is it... is it so obvious?"
Fu Heng raised his glass and smiled, saying: "Obviously!"
"Ha! No, Fu Heng, you clearly know that I like Zui Wu, but you still..." He pointed at Fu Heng.
Fu Heng raised his glass and drank, shrugged, and then said: "About this issue, someone will naturally explain it to you later."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the villa.
Fu Heng smiled slightly and said, "Here, that person is here!"
"Who?" Chu Mubai turned to look outside the door and saw an attendant holding a lantern and carefully leading a guest away.
Come in.
The guest was wearing a gray-white cloak. After the attendant left, she took off the cloak and hat on her head.
"Zuiwu!" Chu Mubai looked at Lan Zuiwu in shock.
Lan Zuiwu looked at him with a smile and said, "Brother Chu!"
Chu Mubai felt excited and didn't know what to say.
Unexpectedly, Fu Heng behind him said quietly: "Your Highness, Emperor Ji, long time no see!"
Lan Zuiwu raised her hand to Heng and said with a smile: "Fu Heng, congratulations on becoming the prince!"
Fu Heng smiled slightly, stood up and said, "I think you should stop congratulating me and quickly explain to your brother Chu. He seemed to want to kill me just now!"
"Ah? Why!" Lan Zuiwu turned to look at Chu Mubai in confusion.
Chu Mubai's face turned red and he turned his head hastily, unwilling to look at her, as if a resentful woman was losing her temper.
Fu Heng whispered: "What a silly girl!"
Bu Ya, who was standing aside, nodded silently, thinking to himself, even a dull person like Bu Ya and I could see it, but this girl Lan didn't even notice it. After all, she doesn't look stupid, so why can't she understand Mr. Chu's thoughts so well? Come to think of it, Mr. Chu is really miserable!
Lan Zuiwu didn't pay much attention to Chu Mubai's mood. She turned towards Fu Heng and said, "Fu Heng, thanks to you arriving in time this time, otherwise my life would have been in danger!"
Fu Heng suddenly stopped laughing, turned his face and said seriously: "Zui Wu, have you thought about it carefully? This step we are taking is a dangerous move!"
Chu Mubai listened to their words, but felt more and more confused as he listened. He hurriedly stepped forward, sat aside, and asked, "Zuiwu, you seem to have already known about Fu Heng's proposal of marriage to you?"
Lan Zuiwu nodded, blinked and said, "Yes, Fu Heng mentioned this to me many years ago when he was still in Da Yang Mansion."
When Chu Mubai heard this, his eyes were as big as copper bells. He looked at Fu Heng in astonishment and said in disbelief: "Fu Heng, you kid started planning on Zui Wu when you were still in Da Yang Mansion!"
Fu Heng sighed and said lightly:
"I was the least powerful person in the Hengwu Kingdom at the time, so of course I had to do everything possible to win over everyone who was beneficial to me. At that time, I accidentally learned that Lan Zuiwu was the Queen of the Blue Soul Capital, Xiwu Diji. .”
"So I thought that if I could marry him, then I would have the support of Lanhundu behind me. In this way, my position in Hengwu Country would be stable. When I mentioned it to Zuiwu
When it came to this matter, she also wanted to use the power of our country, Hengwu. "
"After all, if you want to take away her mother from the Blue Emperor, you can't do it without competing national powers. She can't do it alone. So we hit it off and thought of using marriage to help each other. Accomplish what the other party wants.”
"Of course, we will not use this risky move unless it is absolutely necessary. After that, I returned to Hengwu Kingdom and became the crown prince by accident. I was still hesitating about this matter when I received the light of the dove from Zui Wu. fast."
"She said that she was going back to Lanhun City to take her mother away. This trip was dangerous and her life was likely to be in danger. So, I came all the way to help her. Anyway, this matter has nothing to gain for me. It’s harmful, why not do it?”
When Chu Mubai heard this, he understood everything, but the focus of his attention was not on these, but... He pointed at the two of them and asked: "Then do you two like each other?"
Fu Heng thought about it seriously and then said, "I like it."
"You!" Chu Mubai was stunned.
Fu Heng said with a smile: "But it's not the kind of love between men and women! It's the kind of love between friends!"
Lan Zuiwu suddenly chuckled and said: "Brother Chu, you have misunderstood us. We are not the kind of relationship you thought. We just want to help each other through marriage. Fu Heng's visit this time is purely for In order to help our friends, we will not take this risky step unless absolutely necessary."
Fu Heng looked up at Chu Mubai and sighed: "But the situation is critical now. In order to save Zuiwu's life, we have to take this risky move. After all, with the status of the future crown princess of Hengwu Kingdom, no matter what Lan Huang does, This will not kill Zuiwu."
Chu Mubai nodded. Now the only one who can save Lan Zuiwu's life is Fu Heng, and this is the only way.
, this is also a helpless move. Given the overall situation, how could he care about the love between his children? It's just that he couldn't accept it for a moment.
Lan Zuiwu said: "The top priority now is to find out the whereabouts of my biological father first, and then find a way to take my mother away."
Chu Mubai said: "But now that your mother is nostalgic, do you think she will still leave with you?"
Lan Zuiwu's face darkened, and she was very worried.
Seeing the two of them sitting in front of each other without talking to each other, Fu Heng said: "Lan Huang is not simple. It may not be easy to take people away from under his nose. Zuiwu, please think about this trip." , I’m afraid I have to make a desperate move!”
Lan Zuiwu was in a panic. She hadn't actually thought about her next move. In other words, because of Lan Xuan, the chess game she planned began to change, which caught her off guard and didn't know where to go.
Fu Heng came to propose marriage, and Emperor Lan promised to marry Emperor Xiwu to Fu Heng. In this way, her life was temporarily saved. But what should she do next?
She bit her lip lightly, looked at Fu Heng and Chu Mubai, and said, "No matter what, we can only put everything aside!"
Fu Heng and Chu Mubai looked at each other and nodded.
The night breeze in the villa was miserable, and Chu Mubai leaned alone in the pavilion, drinking wine. Although he understood that the situation in front of him was a helpless choice, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart. He could not see the woman he loved. Marry someone else, let alone see the woman you love die.
