Chapter 194: The dragon is not feeling well and needs a wedding
For Wu Jia Dalang, he also has to thank Deng Youning.
If she hadn't poisoned Jun Wenci, perhaps they would never have seen Jun Wenci's violent and inhumane side.
As night fell and dusk deepened, the palace was still brightly lit.
The emperor's health was getting worse. He was half lying on the bed, and it was very difficult for him to talk to Li Tianzhuo in front of him.
"Tian Zhuo, you are the Queen Mother's adopted grandson and my adopted nephew. You are already quite old. It will be your coming-of-age ceremony soon, right?"
Li Tianzhuo is exactly twenty years old this year.
Men have a coming-of-age ceremony at the age of twenty.
In her previous life, this time next year would be the time when Ningning would be beaten to death by the crown prince, and she would instigate the Ninth Prince Jun Chenyi to rebel together.
In this life, their only enemy left is the prince, so they will not repeat the mistakes of their previous life, and their coming-of-age ceremony may also be able to be more lively.
"At your age, it's time to find a marriage."
Li Tianzhuo was just thinking about holding the coming-of-age ceremony happily when the emperor suddenly mentioned that he wanted to arrange a marriage for him.
He suddenly tensed up.
Could it be that the emperor wants to match people up at random again?
"I am terrified. I think that once I have a family, I will have concerns. With concerns, I will naturally not be able to serve Your Majesty with all my heart and soul."
"I ask for nothing in my life, I just hope to help Your Majesty solve his problems."
He hurriedly knelt down and bowed, expressing his unwavering loyalty to the emperor.
The emperor chuckled when he saw how nervous he was.
"You don't even know who the girl I want to marry you is, and you're already in a hurry to refuse?"
He raised his eyebrows, as if he was amused and wanted to tease this silly boy deliberately.
Li Tianzhuo did not reply. From the beginning to the end, he only had Deng Youning in his heart.
"I see that you and Princess Youning have been childhood sweethearts and have always had a good relationship. How about arranging a marriage for the two of you?"
As expected, Li Tianzhuo widened his eyes and asked the emperor curiously.
That expression was like asking the emperor, are you sure you’re not mistaken?
“Haha~”
Seeing his happy expression, which made him think he had heard wrongly, the emperor also laughed twice.
"I have not been feeling well lately, and I need a new couple to cheer me up."
"Well, call her to the palace tomorrow and I will ask her opinion in person. If she has no objection, I hope you can get married as soon as possible."
The emperor was so eager to get married that he wished they could get engaged tomorrow and get married the day after tomorrow.
"Yes, I will bring Princess Youning here tomorrow."
Of course Li Tianzhuo was happy.
Not only did the emperor not hinder their relationship, he also wanted to take the initiative to bring them together.
He felt that today was the happiest day he had ever had in a while.
However, he was not too happy.
I always feel that the emperor's sudden abnormality must be a huge problem!
After leaving the palace, he went to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion overnight and told Deng Youning about the matter.
Deng Youning felt the same uneasiness as he did.
"Azhuo, I always feel that the emperor's sudden marriage to us must be a trick!" Deng Youning said.
The two of them stood on the second-floor terrace of Qiuyue Waterside Pavilion. Li Tianzhuo hugged her from behind and smiled softly:
"Even if there are conspiracies, it's fine as long as the marriage remains unchanged."
The only thing on his mind now is the arranged marriage.
Besides, they had no choice but to obey the emperor's summons.
When they enter the palace tomorrow, even if they know there is a trap waiting for them, they will not be able to escape.
"Unfortunately, the palace is heavily guarded, and even too much poison cannot be brought in."
Not only was she not allowed to bring any sharp weapons, but even if she carried too much poison, it would be discovered during the search.
"Your Majesty is now facing internal and external troubles. The enemy is Nanxin, and the crown prince is forcing the emperor to abdicate."
"Besides, my uncle still has the Deng family army."
"I think His Majesty would think twice before taking action against you."
What Li Tianzhuo said makes sense.
Now the entire capital city depends on the Deng family to defend it. The emperor will not be stupid enough to do anything detrimental to Deng Youning at this critical juncture and become enemies with the Deng family.
Deng Youning thought so too.
Both of them almost put their hearts at ease.
The next morning, Deng Youning dressed up and entered the palace with Li Tianzhuo.
Wearing this county lady's dress, she looked like a fairy wearing feathered clothes, even more radiant and dazzling.
When Li Tianzhuo thought that the girl he had been thinking about for two lifetimes would soon become his legitimate wife, he was so excited that he seemed to ignore everything else at that moment.
Forget everything else.
"You Ning greets His Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health."
The emperor took a special shower today and seemed to be in better spirits.
"Youning, I believe Tianzhuo has told you about the arranged marriage."
"If you have no problem with Tian Zhuo, why don't you handwrite a marriage certificate together and exchange them?"
The emperor invited with a smile.
Li Tianzhuo and Deng Youning had no idea what he meant. It was just writing a marriage certificate, so they thought it was no big deal and agreed.
The emperor specially ordered people to bring tables and chairs and watched them write in front of him.
After writing it, he sent them to visit the Queen Mother.
"The Queen Mother has been very worried about everything lately. Now that you have entered the palace, go and see her."
Deng Youning and Li Tianzhuo did not think much about it. They just thought that the emperor was also filial to the empress dowager, but they could not fulfill their filial piety, so they, the younger generations, did it for them.
The two of them bowed and took their leave, then walked towards the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace together.
"Azhuo, why does my right eyelid always twitch?"
"I feel like there's something odd about the emperor today, but I can't quite put my finger on what's so odd about him?"
Deng Youning's sixth sense about disturbing things has always been very accurate.
But she was just feeling panicked now. If she was asked to say something, she wouldn't find anything.
"Don't think too much. We will leave the palace immediately after visiting the Queen Mother."
Li Tianzhuo held her hand and whispered.
When they arrived at Yongshou Palace, they had just spoken a few words to the Queen Mother when suddenly, there was a commotion outside and countless soldiers in armor surrounded the entire Yongshou Palace.
The two were as panicked as the Queen Mother. Just as they were about to go out to check, the Queen Mother's personal nanny came running over, looking as if the sky had fallen, and reported:
"Oh no! It's His Majesty's private soldiers. They have surrounded the entire Yongshou Palace and won't let any of us leave!"
Deng Youning and the others were all shocked!
"What does the emperor mean by this?"
The Queen Mother was confused. Did the Emperor want to imprison her?
How dare this unfilial son treat his own mother like this?
"Let's go out and take a look."
Deng Youning gave Li Tianzhuo a look and came to the gate of Yongshou Palace.
At this time, there was a large crowd of soldiers outside the courtyard, and it seemed that there were tens of millions of them.
They erected a human wall that was impenetrable.
Deng Youning took a step forward and wanted to go out through the gate, but was stopped by the general guarding the door.
"County Lady, Lord Li, His Majesty has ordered that the two of you stay in Yongshou Palace and accompany the Empress Dowager."
This is General He, who commands the emperor's private troops.
He is also the person the emperor trusts the most at present!
"The entire Zhenguo Mansion knows that this county lady has entered the palace. You are blocking us and not letting us leave. Aren't you afraid that my uncle and grandmother will get angry?"
Deng Youning felt that the emperor should know the pros and cons of this.
How could you be so stupid as to put yourself under house arrest?
"Hmph, don't worry, County Lady. Before dark, the Deng family will receive the letter of safety you sent over."
General He replied with a smile.
He also glanced at Li Tianzhuo and consoled him, "Master Li, please rest assured. The brothers of the Silver Dragon Guard will be taken over by others."
