Chapter 277 Persuasion
Wang Heng felt very uncomfortable and certainly couldn't say anything in front of the old lady.
Gu Huan didn't hold a grudge against him for what happened before. Her face was gentle and she said politely, "Sir Wang, thank you for coming all the way here."
"The Holy Order is from Heaven, so why talk about hardship?"
Wang Heng had no choice but to bow and say, "Old Madam, I have an unreasonable request, I hope you will forgive me."
The old lady raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Please go ahead, sir."
"Because it is related to the order of His Majesty, I need to talk to Madam Mu alone."
The old lady stood up and said, "You want me to leave? Fine, I will leave now, Lord Wang, don't make it difficult."
Yi Niang helped the old lady leave.
Wang Heng looked at Zhao Luoxuan.
Zhao Luoxuan raised her hand quickly and said, "Sir Wang, Madam Mu and I are one. After all, my fiefdom is in Juzhou, and everything in Juzhou is related to me."
Wang Heng frowned slightly, but he really couldn't think of any good reason to force Zhao Luoxuan to leave.
The atmosphere in the room was as heavy as the eve of a storm.
Wang Heng sat upright on a carved sandalwood chair with a serious expression, but his eyes were shrewd and calculating.
It is indeed a bit unreasonable to want to persuade Gu Huan to marry someone else, and to go to Dali, the place that killed her husband, to marry him.
But Gu Huan was just a weak woman, and Wang Heng didn't think it was too difficult.
He quickly glanced at Gu Huan.
The delicate girl back then has transformed.
She sat opposite him quietly and upright. Her face did not show the grief and haggardness of losing her husband, but instead had the plumpness of a mature woman due to having given birth to a child.
The already beautiful face became even brighter and radiated a charming glow.
Wang Heng suddenly thought, maybe Prince Duan had seen her and was attracted by her beauty, so he wanted to marry her?
He couldn't help but take another look at Gu Huan. As expected, she was indeed a very beautiful woman.
No wonder Mu Junyan would risk his life for her.
"Madam Mu, long time no see. How have you been?" Wang Heng was the first to break the silence with a seemingly concerned smile on his face.
Gu Huan felt amused.
Wang Heng's smile was very stiff.
She sighed softly and complained, "Thank you, Lord Wang, for your concern, but I am just struggling to survive."
Wang Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as she finds life difficult, it's easy.
His expression became serious: "Madam Mu, to be honest, I came here today to discuss with you an important matter concerning the country and society."
Gu Huan said, "Lord Wang, I am just a weak woman, how could such a big thing have anything to do with me?"
Wang Heng stared into Gu Huan's eyes and spoke slowly and slowly, "You also know about Jiang Ruoxi's situation. Now, the King of Dali has also known that Jiang Ruoxi is no longer suitable for marriage. Today, the Dali envoy came to me and said that the King of Dali... had met you and admired your courage, so he thought you were the most suitable candidate for marriage. The envoy asked me to write a memorial to His Majesty, and I would like to discuss it with Madam first."
"Lord Wang!"
Zhao Luoxuan stood up and said, "How dare you insult Madam Mu!"
Wang Heng: "My Lord, how can this be an insult? This is a good thing."
Zhao Luoxuan sprayed over directly: "Good news? If it's a good thing, why don't you let your wife go to marry!"
Gu Huan looked at Zhao Luoxuan with amusement.
When she first came to Dali to prepare for marriage, she was still an innocent girl. She appeared calm on the surface, but was timid at heart.
After staying in Juzhou for a period of time, she became more aggressive.
Wang Heng's face turned pale and blue due to the criticism.
But he had no position to refute.
Gu Huan had heard Duan Yu mention this matter in person before, so she was not angry after hearing it again. She was just wondering why Duan Yu mentioned it to Wang Heng and asked him to write a memorial to the emperor.
What is Duan Yu’s purpose?
But, in front of Wang Heng, you have to put on a good show.
Gu Huan clenched her hands slightly, and her knuckles turned white from the force.
She tried to suppress her anger and shock: "Master Wang, you must be joking. I am a widow with two babies. How can I take on such an important task?"
Wang Heng seemed to have expected her response, and said slowly, "Madam Mu, you have never been a conservative person."
This was said with full of sarcasm.
Gu Huan stopped Zhao Luoxuan who was about to curse and said, "Lord Wang has his own difficulties under the command of the emperor. Let's listen to what Lord Wang has to say."
Zhao Luoxuan held her breath and tried not to punch.
Wang Heng did not want to waste time with the two women, so he said directly: "This marriage is a great honor for you. If you marry into Dali, you will be the princess of Dali, with an extremely noble status. It is better than being a widow, right? Besides, Dali is rich in resources and has beautiful scenery. You can live a rich and happy life with the young and handsome king."
Zhao Luoxuan couldn't help it again: "You farted!"
"Princess." Gu Huan hurriedly pulled her back.
She sneered in her heart, but remained calm on her face. She decided to test Wang Heng's bottom line first, so she sighed softly and said, "Although what Lord Wang said is good, I heard that the court struggle in Dali is fierce. If I, a weak widow, go there, I will not be able to play any role in Daliang. Wouldn't it be a disappointment to the emperor's kindness?"
Wang Heng frowned and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Our dynasty will negotiate with the Dali Kingdom to ensure your safety. Moreover, since the King of Dali personally asked to marry you, he will naturally treat you well."
Gu Huan: "Sir Wang, why did the King of Dali choose a widow like me? Daliang is a great country with countless young and beautiful ladies. You know my background very well. If I really marry to Dali, it will not be good for you. But what did the King of Dali promise?"
Wang Heng almost wanted to roll his eyes.
You are just the daughter of a girl from the Wang family's side branch, and you really don't have much status.
So, shouldn't you be grateful to be able to marry a king and become a princess?
Wang Heng lost his patience. "The marriage is the emperor's will. If you refuse, it will bring disaster to the Mu family. Aren't you afraid that the Mu family army will be implicated by you, and the old lady and your two children will be implicated by you?"
Gu Huan suddenly smiled: "Sir Wang, the emperor has not issued an order yet, so he cannot threaten me."
Wang Heng rolled his eyes and said, "Gu Huan, let me be frank. I guess it's not that you are not acceptable to Prince Duan, but he has said that he will not marry a woman he doesn't like. He wants a princess who can help him. And a marriage between the two countries is the best way to maintain peace in southern Xinjiang. The royal family has no princesses of marriageable age, and other princesses are out of reach. If you send someone here and they don't suit his taste, wouldn't it be difficult to deal with it?"
The memorial has been sent to the capital, and I think His Majesty will approve it. In this case, you might as well do it yourself. On the contrary, you can get the emperor's reward and gain some benefits. The emperor will definitely agree. ”
Gu Huan was worried: "If I marry someone else, it will anger the generals of the Mu family army."
Wang Heng hurriedly said, "You don't have to worry about this. As long as you are willing, the old lady has no reason to hinder your happiness. You have left a pair of children for the Mu family, you are worthy of the Mu family."
Gu Huan looked embarrassed: "Hey, I still have to discuss this with my mother. I can't make the decision on this matter."
Seeing that she relaxed, Wang Heng was overjoyed.
"Then you should discuss it with the old lady, but you should respect her. Once the emperor's order comes down, the old lady can't stop it."
Gu Huan didn't want to deal with Wang Heng anymore, so she stood up to see him off: "Sir Wang, I can't stay for long. Let me think about it."
Wang Heng also stood up and said, "Okay, in two days, the Dali envoy will want to listen to my letter. I will come again then."
"good."
Zhao Luoxuan frowned and said nothing.
After Wang Heng left, Zhao Luoxuan grabbed Gu Huan.
"Duan Yu has met my sister?"
Gu Huan nodded: "You forgot that it was him who saved me with you in the restaurant that day."
Zhao Luoxuan was stunned: "Why is it him? Why is he there?"
“I don’t know the details.”
Gu Huan didn't want to talk about the matter between Duan Yu and Brother Ji, as it would be detrimental to the Mu family army.
It would be bad if someone took advantage of this incident to frame Mu's army for treason.
"Sister, do you think Duan Yu simply doesn't want Jiang Ruoxi and wants another noble lady from Daliang who he thinks can help him, or does he really like you?"
Gu Huan glared at her and said, "I am a widow with a pair of children. Duan Yu is not blind."
Zhao Luoxuan nodded slowly: "That's right. What kind of woman can't he want?"
She seemed to be thinking about something.
Gu Huan patted her hands and said softly, "Don't worry about it. You should pay more attention to the affairs of the government office."
"Well, don't worry, sister."
