Chapter 1500 Luo Lu Takes Action

"Well, that's good news."

Lianyi curled her lips and smiled. This was just the beginning. The next generation of the Nangong family would slowly be targeted until there were no heirs who could take on the responsibility.

After all, when Lianyi was trying to discredit Nangong Qing, she did not avoid Emperor Gan's secret guards.

The next morning, Madam Nangong came to the palace with a card to ask to see the Queen. It was obvious what she wanted to do. Duoduo listened to the whole process and came back to tell Lianyi:

"Nangong Qing originally left Nangong Mansion in a carriage, and after leaving the capital, he rode on a horse in a show of pride. I let the thorns on the roadside help me and pierced the horse's leg. The horse went crazy and ran into Panlong Mountain.

We didn't run far when Nangong Qing fell off his horse and fainted. I asked the vines to help me drag him deep into the mountains and dumped him near a herd of wild boars, thus killing someone with a borrowed knife."

"Yeah, good job."

Lianyi praised generously.

"The servants of the Nangong family were all scared to death and immediately went into the mountains to search. However, because they did not bring enough weapons, they did not dare to go deep into the mountains. They spent half a day going back to the Nangong family to ask for help. They should still be searching the mountains now."

Duoduo paused here, then said:

"The body has just been found."

"What is Madam Nangong doing in the palace?"

"She came to visit the 'sick' queen, and to speak well of Nangong Qing, to see if she could get the queen to issue an imperial decree to grant Nangong Qing a marriage with someone of equal status."

"Tsk tsk, seeing that Princess Shang has no hope, they have come up with a new idea. Does Patriarch Nangong know about this?"

"She probably doesn't know. From Madam Nangong's tone, it seems that she is not very satisfied with Patriarch Nangong's decision to send his son back to his hometown."

"Haha! Let her be happy for a while! Nangong Qing is already dead anyway, so he shouldn't be able to harm the daughter of a good family."

Everything was going smoothly for Lianyi, and Luosha was also acting in secret, sending the news back to Luopan Kingdom that Emperor Gan did not reject the marriage proposal outright.

Royal Palace of Lopan

King Luo Pan, lying on the sickbed, had a sallow complexion and was listening to the report from his ministers with his eyes closed. His third son Luo Lu was taking care of him at this time.

Luo Lu was carefully massaging his father's leg muscles, but his ears were perked up, taking in the latest news. His eyes rolled around, but he didn't say a word.

After the minister who reported the incident left, Luo Lu knelt on one knee and said:

"Father, I have not married yet. This time I am willing to go to Dagan to marry Princess Anping and take back the three cities."

King Luo Pan opened his cloudy eyes, looked at his handsome little son, and did not respond.

Luo Lu rolled his eyes and immediately said:

"Father, Anping is a princess after all, and my elder and second brothers are already married, so it's impossible for them to abandon their wives. I am the most suitable person now, and my personal visit can show our sincerity. If we can develop feelings for each other during our time together, that would be even better.

Princess Anping brought such a generous dowry this time. All these things should belong to us, Luo Pan. As long as we hold all these things in our hands, we can live in peace with Da Gan for two years.

It won't be too late to fight again after we have recuperated. This way we can also slow down the fighting, which is the best of both worlds."

After listening to his youngest son's analysis, King Luo Pan knew that his youngest son was really determined this time, but he must say some ugly words in advance.

"Lu'er, if you leave me at this moment, you will never be able to take the throne."

After hearing this, Luo Lu showed a trace of struggle on his face, but in the end he clenched his fist and said:

"Father, Luo Pan's stability and future are more important. It is up to you to decide who will inherit the throne. I just want to clear the obstacles for Luo Pan within my ability."

King Lopan heard this, closed his eyes again, and said:

"I'll give you half a day to think about it. If your decision remains unchanged, I'll issue an order."

"Yes, father, my son's decision remains unchanged."

Luo Lu replied immediately.

"Go back and prepare first!"

After King Luo Pan sent his youngest son away, he sighed deeply. His sons had grown up and had their own little thoughts. This was a result he had expected long ago.

In fact, he would rather pass the throne to his youngest son, but the eldest and second sons would definitely not agree. The youngest son's temporary departure from the center of the struggle is also a disguised protection for him. It is hard to say what will happen in the future.

Not long after, Luosha received the letter sent by the eagle. After seeing the king's decision, he immediately brought people into the palace again to ask for an audience with Emperor Gan.

After discussing with his trusted ministers recently, Emperor Gan has decided to allow Anping to marry a princess to temporarily appease the Luopan Kingdom, and the three cities are baits, but Luopan Kingdom will definitely not be able to get them so easily, and there will be another good show to be performed later.

Upon hearing Lai Fu's report, Emperor Gan sneered and ordered Rakshasa to enter the palace.

"Your Majesty, Luosha has received news from the king that Luopan is very sincere about marrying Princess Anping. Our third prince Luolu has already set out from the imperial city and will arrive in Dagan soon."

After Luosha paid his respects, he spoke a lot without waiting for Emperor Gan to ask any questions, expressing Luopan Kingdom's sincerity.

Emperor Gan frowned and said with some displeasure:

"Rakshasa Envoy, I remember that I did not agree to let Princess Anping go to marry!"

"But His Majesty did not refuse, and after considering it for so long, he decided that for the sake of the peaceful coexistence between the two countries, Princess Anping's marriage is the best choice."

Luosha said this with a hint of meaning, the threat in his voice was very obvious.

Emperor Gan narrowed his eyes, a flash of murderous intent passed through his eyes, and then he softened his tone and said:

"Since Luopan is so sincere, I will wait until your third prince arrives before I issue an order. I hope Prince Luolu is sincere in marrying my daughter."

Luosha saw that Emperor Gan was relieved and immediately said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, rest assured. The Third Prince is definitely sincere. When he meets Prince Luolu, Your Majesty will not regret today's decision. Princess Anping's marriage is definitely the best."

"Okay, I'll wait and see Luo Panguo's sincerity."

Emperor Gan knew very well that with those three cities hanging in the balance, the people of Luopan would definitely be sincere.

After Luosha left, Emperor Gan summoned Anping to the imperial study to discuss matters.

Lianyi knew that the envoy from Luopan Kingdom came to the palace to ask for an audience, and she must be trying to put pressure on Emperor Gan. Now that she was summoned, it was estimated that things had made progress, so she changed her clothes and took Fulin, Yuejue and Yuelang to the imperial study.

Seeing his daughter coming, Emperor Gan didn't say anything more. He just told Luosha what he had said and then said:

"Anping, you have at most one month to prepare. Once the third prince arrives in the capital, the emperor will issue an order."

Lian Yi nodded and said:

"My daughter understands. I have already taken care of everything around me. We will be ready to go at any time after the staff is trained and adjusted. But after I arrive in Luopan Country, can I hand over the intelligence network and spies there to my daughter?"

Lianyi also took the opportunity to seek benefits for herself.

"Of course. To make it easier for you to act, these people must be handed over to you. However, Luo Pan's spies have not found any useful information in the past one or two years. I suspect that there is something wrong with their intelligence network."
