Chapter 459 Forced Marriage
No one expected Emperor Pu to do this.
Especially Xing'er, she brought Wei Qingyan and others into the palace because she felt guilty for implicating Abu and wanted to make amends.
So she was the first to speak, "Father, we are innocent. He did not destroy my reputation. Please don't say anything nonsense."
Emperor Pu's handsome face was drawn, and his tone was dangerous, "Men and women cannot be intimate with each other, and hugging each other is not considered a violation of their chastity. What else can be considered a violation?"
"If that's the case, then those bandits who kidnapped my daughter also rode in the same carriage with her. If my father wants to explain, he should go to them first."
"Asshole, listen to what you are saying."
Emperor Pu was furious when he heard that Xing'er had implicated herself with the bandits in order to protect Abu.
He angrily tapped her head with his finger and said, "You fool, go back to your own palace."
Xing'er refused to leave, stiffening her neck and saying, "If my father wants me to marry Chilie, then I will marry him. Why should I embarrass others?"
"you……"
Emperor Pu patted his chest, exhaled, and glared at the Fifth Prince, his tone filled with helplessness, "Why are you still standing there? Is it because I didn't give you food that you can't carry this star?"
What on earth were the things he gave birth to?
The stupid ones are stupid, and the leaky ones are leaky.
As for those four, they had sent the message a long time ago, but they still haven't arrived. They are so late that they can't even catch up. What else can he expect from them?
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Seeing his silly son slowly moving towards Xing'er, the old father was extremely tired and shouted, "Have you recently worshipped a turtle as your master?"
It's so troublesome.
The Fifth Prince: “…”
He was the fish that was caught in the disaster.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have worried about my younger sister and claimed to be the best in martial arts, so I snatched the job of secretly protecting her.
"Xing'er, follow Fifth Brother to the back. Father has something important to discuss."
Xing'er knew her father well. He must have something to hide for taking the initiative.
How could she be so ungrateful and let Brother Xinglan and the others fall into her father's trap? She turned around and hid between Wei Qingyan and Abu.
Seeing this, Wei Qingyan probably understood what Emperor Pu was thinking. He smiled at him and said, "How do you think we should explain this?"
"It is natural to take on the responsibilities that should be taken."
Wei Qingyan said, "Please be clear."
Emperor Pu was stunned.
Everyone says that the Crown Princess of Wei is extremely intelligent, so how could she be so tactless? Then he looked at his daughter who was shrinking in front of someone and wished she could follow him.
Emperor Pu secretly took a deep breath, then pointed at Abu and Xing'er and said, "The little princess of Pu Kingdom cannot have an unclear reputation and let them get married.
Once they are married, they are husband and wife, and no matter how much nonsense they have, it is still a matter between husband and wife."
Since Dawei was pretending to be stupid, he could only speak frankly.
Abu frowned, "There's nothing unclear between me and Princess Xing'er..."
"You can't tell me. You rode together, you carried her into the inn, and then into her room. Everyone in Chilie saw it clearly."
Emperor Pu interrupted Abu and said, "In the eyes of the Chilie people, you are no longer innocent. Even if I stick to the engagement and marry Xing'er to them, the Chilie people will still make things difficult for her because of this.
Given the cruelty of the Chilie people, it is very likely that she was killed because of this. In this way, she was indirectly killed by you.
Naturally, they won't let you go for hurting her innocence."
After hearing these words, Xing'er looked at Emperor Pu in disbelief.
This kind of father is too unfamiliar.
That's too unreasonable.
She said angrily, "That Prince Chilie tortured several of his wives to death, and the rest of the Chilie princes may not be that good.
Even if this didn't happen, they wouldn't necessarily treat me well. Don't put the blame on Brother Xinglan."
Seeing Xing'er interrupting again, Emperor Pu said angrily, "Don't talk, hold it in."
Who is he being so shameless for?
The ungrateful little guy doesn't understand his good intentions at all.
Xing'er didn't understand, but Wei Qingyan did.
"You mean that Pu State is willing to make peace with Wei State, but Wei State needs to help you resolve the problems with Chi Lie."
Emperor Pu felt a little embarrassed when his thoughts were spoken out so bluntly.
But there was nothing she could do. She straightened her back and said, "I can't let my good princess be ruined like this."
Abu was about to speak when Wei Qingyan stopped him. She nodded and said, "You should take responsibility for destroying someone's reputation."
But he suddenly changed the subject, "But as the princess said, my brother really has good intentions.
He has a pure mind and no distractions. If he is accused of insulting someone's innocence because of his good intentions in saving and helping others, it would be too unfair to my brother.
Besides, my brother has his own ideas. His marriage should be decided by himself, and no one can force him."
"What does the princess mean?"
Emperor Pu's face darkened. "I know you came to Pu State only for my grain. Since you don't want to marry my princess, are you planning to take her by force?"
His aura suddenly became fierce, "Although our Pu Kingdom is not a big country, we still have the ability to fight to the death."
As he finished speaking, the guards quickly drew their swords and looked at Wei Qingyan and Abu.
Abu immediately stood in front of Wei Qingyan.
Wei Qingyan patted his shoulder, walked out from behind him and looked at Emperor Pu.
"As I travelled along, I discovered that every city in Pu State, facing the sea, had high walls and dams, and gates.
I heard that these high walls and dams are maintained every year, the gates are inspected every six months, and the ditches between the fields of Pu State are well-maintained and very smooth.
If I'm not mistaken, this is the confidence behind Pu Guoyu's desperate fight, right?
If a foreign enemy forcibly invades Pu State, you should open the sluice gates and let the sea water flood back, and all the fertile farmland will be destroyed.
Even if foreign enemies forcibly occupied this land, the land submerged in sea water would no longer be able to produce food as abundantly as before.
You will flee to the sea, which is why Chi Lie wanted to marry the princess instead of directly invading Pu State, right?"
Emperor Pu had a cold face and his cheek muscles were tense. He didn't expect that Wei Qingyan knew all this.
"What do you want?"
Wei Qingyan took a step forward and said, "Of course we will cooperate with you to protect your Pu Kingdom from being invaded by other great powers."
"But you just rejected my marriage proposal. A verbal alliance is not as strong as a marriage between two families and blood ties.
If you weren't worried about the big countries like you breaking the agreement, do you really think my little princess has nowhere to go?"
Wei Qingyan also knew that Emperor Pu was thinking a lot, but he really didn't want Abu to be forced to marry under such circumstances.
Then he said to Xing'er, "Little Princess, can you take my brother to see the beautiful scenery of your Pu Kingdom Palace?"
"Sister?"
Abu is worried about Wei Qingyan.
Wei Qingyan smiled, "Go ahead. My National Defense Army has reached the border of Pu State. His Majesty the King of Pu State is wise and will not do anything to my sister."
Emperor Pu, “…”
Threat, this is a naked threat.
But he also wanted to know how Wei Qingyan was going to cooperate with his Pu State, so he asked the Fifth Prince to take Xing'er and Abu out.
After everyone left, Wei Qingyan said, "I know you agreed to the little princess marrying Chilie because Chilie has stationed troops in Pu State, and you had no choice.
After learning that Emperor Chilie and Prince Chilie had both died and that Chilie was in civil strife, your mind became even more shaken, so you turned your attention to the other major powers.
After learning about my brother's identity, you thought you had a better choice and wanted to facilitate the marriage between the little princess and my brother, but marriage is not a joke.
You cherish the little princess and naturally hope that she can have a happy marriage. As her sister, I also cherish my younger brother.
If our two countries reach a cooperation, I will let the National Protection Army wipe out all the Chilie Army stationed in your Pu State.
And I promise you that no matter what happens in the world in the future, I will never let anyone slaughter your Pu royal family, and your Lou family will always have the right to govern this land.
If the little princess is willing, she can go with me to the Great Wei. If she and my brother get along for a long time and fall in love with each other, the Great Wei will prepare generous gifts and propose to her in marriage.
If they are not destined to be together, we will send the little princess back safely..."
"If there's no affection, then create opportunities for them to develop it. My little lucky star is loved by everyone, so why can't your brother develop feelings for her?"
