Chapter 109 How could I agree to let Yan'er go with a poor prince?
Su Mansion.
Su Rongyan's face was pale, and her tender red lips trembled uncontrollably. "Daddy, what are you talking about? My daughter is going to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How could you let her do something like seducing Prince Xiao?"
Despicable, shameless - these words were hard for her to say.
Su Hongan's face wasn't much better either. When he received the emperor's oral instructions in his study, he didn't even know what expression to use to express his gratitude. Eunuch Gao was still constantly congratulating him, saying that two women were sharing one husband and that his promotion to a higher position was just around the corner...
"Rong Yan, Daddy knows you don't want to go, but this is the Emperor's will. Even if Daddy is reluctant, he has no choice but to send you away..."
Su Rongyan burst into tears. She stepped back, shaking her head in fear, "No! No! Daddy, I won't go! I won't go even if I die. I'm the Crown Prince's person, there's no way I'll agree to that."
Then, Su Rongyan lifted up the hem of her skirt, disregarding her usual dignified image, and ran back to her boudoir crying all the way.
Ji Qiaoyue looked at her husband's determined expression, her eyes tearing up. "Master, how could you agree to let Yan'er go with a down-and-out prince? Yan'er and the Crown Prince are about to get married, and if we send Yan'er to Prince Xiao at this moment, wouldn't that be a direct message to the Crown Prince that the Su family is on Prince Xiao's side?"
How could Su Hongan not have thought of this? "What do you, a woman, know? Do you think the Emperor doesn't know about our plan? Doesn't the Emperor know that we are trying to get close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Even though the Emperor knows everything, he still sent Eunuch Gao with a verbal order. Haven't you realized that our Yan'er will never marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the end?"
The Xiao Palace has now fallen into the state of being confiscated and exiled. Even if they really want to make a comeback, it will be difficult for them to return to the Imperial City. However, the current situation in the Imperial City seems calm on the surface, but in fact it is undercurrent. The Emperor is probably wary of the 100,000 troops in the hands of Prince Xiao, so he chose this time to drive people out of the Imperial City.
After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is getting older, and the Queen's maternal family is becoming increasingly powerful. It is difficult for the Emperor to control them, not to mention that there is also Prince Xiao who is eyeing him covetously.
Their Su family has always followed the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Although marrying Su Wanyan to Prince Xiao helped the Emperor solve temporary troubles, the big worry still remains. Their Su family had already become a pawn in the hands of the Emperor as early as when he sided with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Now, if this chess piece wants to protect itself and not become an abandoned piece, it must show enough sincerity to satisfy the emperor. The sincerity that the emperor most wants to see is to let their Su family help him keep an eye on Prince Xiao, even though Prince Xiao is still an unconscious useless man.
Ji Qiaoyue couldn't help but burst into tears after hearing this. "Master, that's our most beloved daughter! Can you bear to watch her jump into the fire pit like the Xiao Palace?"
Su Hongan naturally couldn't bear it. Rong Yan was also the one he loved and raised. He was more unwilling than anyone else to let her follow Prince Xiao without any status. He raised her for so long, hoping that she would one day marry into the royal family so that the Su family... Now, there is nothing left.
