Chapter 17: Tensions
"If you look down on me, when you take this position in the future, it will be up to you to decide who to make queen."
"Oh."
The Emperor of Longyuan Kingdom spoke for a long time but only heard a cold snort. He pinched his eyebrows in anger.
"Chen'er, I know you're angry, but everything your father does is for your own good. I hope you won't let him down."
Dongfang Chen smashed the cup in his hand, scaring the serving eunuch so much that he immediately knelt on the ground.
He lowered his head, his body trembling slightly, not daring to raise his head. Every time the King of War came here, it was like a battlefield.
Those they serve have to be extremely careful, otherwise they will be killed by the War King's sword.
The War King was extremely cruel, and even more cruel after being disfigured.
"What a high-sounding reason! It's for the king's own good, it's for the king's own good. It means that he will be without a mother at such a young age.
For the king's good, you just want to point him to a useless idiot. Are you doing this for your own good?
If a useless Minister of Rites could have a connection with the royal family, you could force him to do something shady for you, right?
Let me tell you, I will not agree to this marriage. If you force this person on me, the Qin family will have no choice but to hold a funeral."
"Also, I don't want similar things to happen in the future, otherwise I don't mind killing people.
It’s time for my Black Armor Army to show up.”
"You..." The emperor coughed angrily, "Chen'er, do you have to be like this? It's been so long.
Why won't you forgive your father and understand his difficulties? Your father has always been on your side."
"I don't need it. I have the ability to protect myself. I don't need you to side with me.
Goodbye.
"Chen'er, no matter what, you must marry the Shangshu Mansion's daughter.
I will ask the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to choose an auspicious day and then issue an imperial decree to grant you marriage.
The royal father has seen that woman before. She is graceful and elegant, as beautiful as the moon and flowers, and gentle and kind. She is a candidate for a princess."
"snort."
Dongfang Chen flicked his sleeves and turned to leave, without taking a single cloud with him.
The eunuch who was serving him dared to raise his head only after Dongfang Chen disappeared from view.
They were scared to death. Prince Chen was so scary.
When the queen heard that the emperor was summoning Prince Chen into the palace, she became restless, because this little bastard was the legitimate son of the former queen.
It would be fine if she could sit in that seat, but no, no, she had to find a way to get rid of this person.
How come the poison she had given him earlier had no effect at all? Could that person have dared to lie to her? This little bastard was truly unlucky.
Why can't he be killed? If he doesn't die, her son will never be able to make a name for himself.
As a queen mother, she must pave the way for her royal son.
No one else can hold that position except her son.
"Madame Li."
"Your servant is here, what do you want, Madam?"
"Go and find out what the Emperor just said to that little bastard. If it's beneficial to us, help the Emperor if necessary."
"My lady, I will go right away."
About half a cup of tea later, Nanny Li came back and whispered something in the Queen's ear.
The queen smiled with satisfaction after hearing this. She looked particularly charming in her red phoenix robe and red nail polish, and she was indeed the most precious woman in the world.
"Since this is the case, we must help the emperor. After all, I am the mistress of the harem and the legitimate mother of these princes and nobles.
It is only natural to choose a suitable marriage for them.”
"Hurry up and dress me up so I can go see the emperor.
The Emperor has done a really good thing. I must make him some ginseng soup to nourish him."
"But it's been a while since you've been in my room. It seems these little bitches down there really are quite capable."
Li Ma Ma: "My Lady, be careful, there are ears. You can't speak like that in front of the Emperor."
"Mammy! Don't worry! In front of the Emperor, I am still the dignified and virtuous queen who is the mother of the country and the noble queen."
When the King of War left the palace, he was accompanied by not only the captain of the guards in public, but also secret guards.
The captain of the secret guards drove the carriage himself and acted as the coachman.
After they walked away, Zhao Wenshan asked tentatively.
"Master, what does the Emperor want to see you about? Does he have any bad intentions again?
Or is it that someone else wants to use him to get rid of you?"
When An Yi heard this, he gave Zhao Wenshan a thumbs up.
"General Zhao! You are truly brave. How dare you say such a thing?"
Zhao Wenshan: "You bastard, you listened to me again, be careful or the master will punish you."
Dongfang Chen: "Okay, if you have anything to say, let's go back to the palace and talk about it. Call the others back, I have something to arrange.
Yes, Master," An Er disappeared immediately.
The carriage stopped at Prince Zhan's mansion.
The butler came out immediately, "My Lord, you are back."
"Um."
In half a cup of tea, all the notified people gathered in Prince Zhan's mansion.
Everyone came to the study. After all, it was the safest place to talk because it was soundproof.
There are the War King Dongfang Chen, deputy generals Lu Zhengqing, Chen Wenyou, and the guard captain Zhao Wenshan who is also the general.
Ye Shiyang, the genius doctor, is the eldest disciple of Changle Valley. He is Dongfang Chen's good brother, good partner, good buddy, and also his military doctor.
There is also Kang Muhua, who manages the business for the King of War. He is the richest man among the imperial merchants.
Military strategist Qiao Beichen, owner of Caiyunlou Yan Si Niang, and owner of Bilanxuan Qin Muhua,
Of course, there are people who have multiple identities.
Military Advisor Qiao Beichen asked, shaking his fan.
"Your Majesty! Are you gathering all of us together to prepare for action?
Now is not the time to act; we are not ready and the situation is unstable."
"The turmoil at the imperial court affects the entire body, and our people haven't yet fully infiltrated.
Furthermore, the Grand Master's disciples are spread all over the world, and this person is a very serious hidden danger."
Ye Shiyang crossed his legs and acted like a scoundrel, "Military Advisor, you are not old, are you? You are so scared.
No matter how many people have pissed me off, I can just give them a handful of medicine and poison them all to death. Anyway, they can't be used by us or others.
Besides, I still have a secret weapon, and my Dark Pavilion hasn't been deployed yet. Chen, if you hadn't ordered us not to take action, I would have dealt with these people long ago."
Dongfang Chen: "You guys have really wild imaginations, who said I called you here to prepare for immediate action?
I will definitely not take action unless I have a foolproof plan.
We won't give other countries the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. After all, we can resolve the internal strife at any time."
“No matter how much trouble we make, we are still a family when we are locked up. This is my property, and no one can take it away.
Even if I don't want to throw it away, I won't leave it to such a villain."
An San: "Master, you are absolutely right. But what on earth is the reason why you gathered all of us together?"
Dongfang Chen: "I want you to find something for the old emperor to do, so that he won't be too idle.
He dared to think about my marriage. If I didn't have a blood relationship with him, he would have gone to hell long ago."
"No, no."
The military advisor waved his fan.
