"So powerful?" Su Mutianjun looked at Ran Qiyue in surprise.

"I only planted the Gu on the Holy Son to ensure absolute safety. As long as the mother Gu is present, the child Gu will be forever at his mercy. This is unless a thousand-year-old ice toad from the Xuanyi Valley sucks the child Gu out, but in that case, the ice toad will die. Not to mention whether the old men in the Xuanyi Valley are willing to sacrifice the ice toad, the Holy Son is a weak and feminine man, so it's questionable whether he can even find the Xuanyi Valley. The Holy Son will probably have to suffer the torment of the Heart-Eroding Gu for the rest of his life. This is the fate that the Holy Son deserves for betraying the Emperor!"

"Well, my dear Ran, you did a good job!" Su Mutianjun nodded in appreciation.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that I mentioned to you that the 'chosen girl' was the biggest variable in the stability of your empire?"

"Yes, Lord Ran did mention this matter to me. This is also the reason why you sent the Holy Son to Laifeng Kingdom to investigate and assassinate the 'Chosen Daughter'."

"Indeed, Your Majesty. However, due to the Saint's betrayal, the plan must be changed..."

"What does Ran Aiqing mean?"

"Marriage. Send one of the Emperor's princes to Laifeng Kingdom to marry the princess of Laifeng Kingdom, thus forming an alliance between the two countries. This way, the fate of the 'chosen daughter' hindering the Emperor's ambitions can be broken. However, Laifeng Kingdom is a matriarchal country where women are superior to men. The prince of a patriarchal country would be reduced to becoming one of the concubines of a woman from a feminist country. It depends on whether the Emperor is willing to let him do this."

"Marriage? Lord Ran means that the 'chosen daughter' will be the princess of Laifeng Kingdom? But, there is no princess of Laifeng Kingdom right now?"

"That's right, Your Majesty. Just because there's no Crown Princess now doesn't mean there won't be one in the future. According to my divination, the 'chosen one' will ascend to the throne this year. It's only the end of August now, and Your Majesty has sent a letter of marriage to the Empress of Laifeng Kingdom. There's still time to complete this matter before the New Year."

"Marriage alliance... Then, in your opinion, my dear Yiran, which of my princes is the most suitable?" Su Mutianjun narrowed his eyes slightly, looking thoughtful.

Su Mutianjun has three thousand beauties in his harem, and after years of hard work, he has countless princes and princesses. He doesn't care about having one more or one less prince and princess.

"If Your Majesty is willing, I think the Third Prince is the most suitable."

"Li Chen?"

Su Mutianjun lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then continued, "Just do as you said, and get someone to do it as soon as possible!"

"My lord, I obey the order!"

Although Ran Qiyue was lying on a stretcher on the ground, the momentum of his answer was not weak.

Monk Wuchenhua, who was far away in the capital of Laifeng Kingdom, playing in the smoke of cooking, suddenly sneezed several times...
