Chapter 122 She Wants to Steal Nanzhao’s Lover Gu

Chu Xinyue nodded. "You're right. When I wrote the novel, I set up that Lan Zheng was deeply in love with Murong Ye. I hope Murong Che will be smarter and not bring these two hot potatoes into the palace."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Murong Che speaking loudly to everyone present, "My dear ministers, our Jiuzhou is prosperous. General Meng said that the King of Nanzhao wants to marry both princesses to Jiuzhou. If there are unmarried men of the right age among you, you should seize the opportunity and perform well during the autumn hunt. If anyone wins the favor of the two princesses, I am willing to help you and arrange marriages for you."

All the ministers were outraged.

I thought the emperor would take both princesses of Nanzhao into the harem so that he could enjoy the happiness of having two wives.

As a result, facing the two beautiful princesses, he was not moved at all and left the opportunity to marry the princesses to his ministers.

However, who among the noble families would be willing to marry a princess from a defeated country?

However, there are some uneducated and dissolute young men who are attracted by the beauty of Lan Zheng and Lan Luo.

If you could marry such a beautiful and exotic girl, she would be a delight to the eyes even if she was just a vase.

As a result, many people are rubbing their hands, eager to give it a try.

After hearing what Murong Che said, Meng Shi's smile froze. "Your Majesty, the two princesses have heard of your reputation in Nanzhao. They have admired you for a long time. If you marry them off to others, wouldn't that be a betrayal of their love for you?"

Before setting out, the King of Nanzhao specially arranged for a Gu Master to accompany him, hoping to use the Gu Master to control Murong Che.

As a gifted master of making snakes, Gu Shi is one in a million in the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Their plan was to have the dragon master use the two princesses' blood to raise dragon worms and make love dragons for each of them before they entered the palace.

However, a person can only have a lover's snake once.

After entering the palace, it will depend on who has the ability to implant the lover's pig into Murong Che first. Then Murong Che will be influenced by the lover's pig and obey the words of the princess who feeds the pig with blood.

When the lover's sub-dragon drills into Murong Che's brain and completely becomes the lover's puppet, the Nanzhao Kingdom can take the opportunity to send troops and annex Jiuzhou!

Now Murong Che actually wants to promise the two princesses to his ministers. Wouldn't their king's plan be ruined?

Murong Che looked at Meng Shi, his handsome face remained expressionless, but his tone was obviously more oppressive, "General Meng, all the ministers present are pillars of our dynasty. Do you think that letting the princess marry my trusted ministers is unfair to them?"

For a defeated country, it is easier to ask a princess to "sacrifice" for the country than to ask soldiers to sacrifice their lives for the country.

After Meng Shi arrived in Beijing, he made inquiries and found out that the ministers who came to the autumn hunt were all very important figures in the imperial court of Jiuzhou.

If the princess could marry a minister who was favored by Murong Che, stir up trouble in their backyard and eventually disrupt the court, it would be a good thing for Nanzhao.

Meng Shi weighed the pros and cons in his heart and said quickly, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. No matter who the princess ends up marrying, it will be a blessing for us Nanzhao!"

Since leaving Nanzhao, Lan Zheng has maintained correspondence with Murong Ye.

She had already thought about how to win favor and seduce Emperor Jiuzhou after entering the palace. However, Emperor Jiuzhou wanted to send the two sisters to his ministers with just one word. How could she agree?

Lan Zheng refused to accept the defeat. She gritted her teeth and looked up at Murong Che with a pure and honest expression on her face. "Your Majesty, I have admired you very much before I came to Jiuzhou. I want to enter the palace to serve you. I hope you can help me!"

She knew that Jiuzhou was a country that valued etiquette. As a girl, she expressed her feelings to Murong Che in front of so many people. He should have no reason to reject her.

Lan Zheng thought about it and couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart.

However, before she could raise her lips, she heard Murong Che speak slowly, "Princess Lan Zheng, you have never seen me before today, so your admiration for me may not be too hasty. Moreover, looking across the Nine Continents, the women who admire me can line up from the capital to the capital of your Nanzhao Kingdom. Do I have to take every one of them into my harem?"

The subtext is that Lan Zheng has never even met him, but she brazenly says that she admires him.

Such admiration is too cheap.

Lan Zheng was humiliated by him in front of so many people. Her pretty face turned red and white, and it was unclear whether she was angry or embarrassed.

Seeing this, Lan Luo stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. Everyone in Nanzhao knows that you are young and promising. When my fourth sister learned that my father was going to marry Jiuzhou, she took the initiative to ask for your help, saying that she would not marry anyone but you. She just likes you so much that she couldn't control her feelings for you. Please forgive her sincerity!"

Chu Xinyue listened to Lan Luo's words to help Lan Zheng out of trouble and sighed quietly, "The Seventh Princess of Nanzhao is really good at speaking. While she is protecting Lan Zheng, she is also flattering the emperor in disguise. Just ask, which emperor would punish a woman just because she is too obsessed with him?"

Xue Youli agreed, "This Seventh Princess is a smart person. Fortunately, Murong Che is not planning to take her into the palace, otherwise she would definitely be a troublesome opponent."

At this time, Meng Shi also smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Your Majesty, our fourth princess has lived in the Nanzhao Palace since she was a child and has never come into contact with people from Jiuzhou. In the previous war with Jiuzhou, the king has admired your wisdom and bravery more than once. The fourth princess has been influenced by him and has long been in love with you. I hope you won't blame me!"

Murong Che wanted to put an end to the possibility of the Nanzhao princess entering the harem and had no intention of making it difficult for the Nanzhao envoy to leave.

He curled his lips, "There are many good men in Jiuzhou. Princess, you may want to take a look at them during the Autumn Hunt."

Meng Shi laughed heartily, "Okay! I also want to see the graceful demeanor of the men from Kyushu during the Autumn Hunt!"

"General Meng, two princesses, please take a seat." Murong Che pointed to the seats specially prepared for the envoys and said to them, "You have come from a long way, I would like to offer you a toast!"

As Lan Zheng walked towards her seat, she glanced in the direction of Murong Ye out of the corner of her eye.

Unfortunately, Murong Ye did not look at her, but sat there upright, talking about something with another official beside him.

Lan Zheng's mood instantly dropped to the bottom. She sat down dejectedly and drank glass after glass of wine.

What she didn't know was that just after she withdrew her gaze, Murong Ye silently glanced at her back.

He had anticipated many possibilities, but he never expected that Murong Che would reject the two princesses on the spot.

Lan Zheng and Lan Luo are both top beauties in Nanzhao Kingdom, yet Murong Che is unmoved?

If Concubine Rong had not given birth to a daughter for Murong Che, Murong Ye would have suspected that he didn't like women!

Lan Zheng has no hope of entering the palace this time, so he has to make new plans.

At the banquet, Xue Qingyao also sat between several concubines, and her seat was very close to the two princesses of Nanzhao Kingdom.

In order to be able to sit here, she endured nine sessions of acupuncture by Dr. Cheng over three days and drank nine large bowls of medicine.

At this moment, she followed Murong Ye's line of sight and cast her eyes towards Lan Zheng.

In her previous life, Lan Zheng entered the palace, but she failed to successfully plant a snake on Murong Che.

Because her lover pig was destroyed by her.

This time, she planned to take the initiative to contact Lan Zheng, try to get the location of the Dragon Master from Lan Zheng, and then try to get the Dragon Master to use her blood to train a lover dragon.

After returning to the palace, she would think of a way to plant a snake in Murong Che's heart.

As long as she plants the lover snake, Murong Che will obey her every word, and then the harem will be hers!

Thinking of this, she took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and walked towards Lan Zheng and Lan Luo.

"Princess, you have come from afar. I offer you a toast."

Lan Zheng was in a bad mood and just raised her glass to her perfunctorily.

Lan Luo, on the other hand, raised his glass and drank with her in a friendly manner, "Madam, what is your name?"

"Princess, calling me Your Majesty is really too polite. My name is Qing Yao, you can call me by my name."

Lan Luo nodded, "Okay, you can also call me Luo Luo."

Xue Qingyao drank and chatted with her enthusiastically, and the two quickly became familiar with each other.

Seeing this, Chu Xinyue complained to Xue Youli in a low voice, "Why is Xue Qingyao here too? She is trying to get close to Princess Nanzhao by flattering her. She must be up to something bad again, right?"

Xue Youli also lowered her voice, "Yes, she wanted to steal Nanzhao's lover Gu."
