Isn't my partner usually so aloof? Why is he taking on so much work this time?
And it's a task that's so far in the future!
Surprised as I was, since Zhuque had said so, Cangyun would definitely give Feng Beichuan his full support.
However, he was also very clear in his heart that it was as difficult as ascending to heaven for his master to marry Li Chang'an.
unless……
After stroking his chin and thinking for a moment, Cangyun came up with another idea.
"If all else fails, just force her into marriage! In my opinion, this is the simplest and most direct method so far. Get her married first, and once the deed is done, she'll have no choice but to comply!"
After hearing his outrageous idea, Zhuque couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. After calming down for a while, he finally couldn't resist giving the guy a flick on the forehead.
"Ouch! Why did you hit me? It hurts so much!"
Cangyun covered his innocently injured head, angrily accusing Zhuque of his sneak attack.
"Are you a bandit or a mountain thief? How could you even come up with a method like forcing someone into marriage!"
Zhuque was so angry that her eyebrows stood on end, and even her voice was several decibels louder than usual.
She really wanted to open this man's skull and see what kind of outrageous and terrible ideas were going on in his head.
Cangyun was speechless after being questioned by her and could only shut his mouth awkwardly. However, he was still very unconvinced. Although his method was indeed a bit crude, it would definitely have an immediate effect.
Moreover, Feng Beichuan only asked him to find a way to successfully marry Li Chang'an as his princess. As long as the goal is achieved, the process is not that important.
The more Cangyun thought about it, the more he felt he had been unfairly punched, so he couldn't help but mutter with some dissatisfaction, "The prince hasn't even voiced his objection yet, and you're the first to stand up..."
"you!"
Finally, Zhuque could no longer tolerate this person. She glared angrily at Cangyun and was about to make a move.
Seeing that things were not going well, Cangyun quickly dodged to avoid it. He was well aware of the power of the strange and unusual hidden weapons of the Vermilion Bird, and he would rather take two punches from the other party than try those terrible hidden weapons.
"Stop right there! Say it again if you dare!"
Zhuque was so angry he gritted his teeth. If it weren't for Feng Beichuan being there, he would never have been so polite.
"A gentleman uses words, not fists. If you think my method won't work, then come up with a feasible solution. Can hitting someone solve the problem?"
Cangyun, hiding behind Feng Beichuan, retorted confidently. He was certain that Zhuque wouldn't go too far in front of his master, so he became even bolder.
"Enough with the nonsense!"
Zhuque wouldn't fall for his trick. Although she didn't have a solution, she had a whole bunch of hidden weapons.
"Enough! If you want to fight, go outside and fight to your heart's content. I won't be happy unless someone dies!"
Feng Beichuan frowned. The two of them were making him very upset. His mind was already a mess, and their noise only made him more irritable.
He originally asked these two to come and give him some advice on how to solve a problem, but they didn't come up with any ideas or solve the problem. Instead, they almost ripped the roof off the house.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Zhuque had no choice but to give up in a huff, and Cangyun also stopped his reckless verbal sparring.
"Anyway, I think it's inappropriate to force someone into marriage. How can you force someone into something like this?"
Suzaku's stance is firm.
"Then tell me why it's unsuitable? As the saying goes, marriage is arranged by parents and matchmakers. Just have that old emperor issue an imperial decree, and she'll have to marry him whether she likes it or not!"
Cangyun's ideas were also very stubborn.
"You're being completely unreasonable! I'm a woman, after all. If you're trying to force me into marriage, I'd rather die than agree!"
Zhuque retorted righteously, saying that she couldn't stand Cangyun's so-called male chauvinism.
Moreover, she felt that someone with Li Chang'an's stubborn personality would be impossible to force if she didn't want to. Otherwise, Feng Beichuan would have succeeded in marrying her when he went to her military camp with the imperial edict.
"cut."
Hearing Zhuque's words, Cangyun curled his lips in disdain.
She also knew that she was a woman?
Listening to the two arguing back and forth, Feng Beichuan thought for a moment and felt that Zhuque's words made a lot of sense, so he said, "That's right. Since I sincerely want to marry her and spend my life with her, I absolutely cannot use such a coercive method."
Since that's the case, Cangyun was at a loss. He could only shrug to indicate that he was powerless to help.
Although Zhuque couldn't think of a good solution for the time being, she rarely spoke up to encourage Feng Beichuan, telling him not to be discouraged, that there was plenty of time, and that Li Chang'an would eventually be moved.
"Well, for now, we can only take it one step at a time."
Feng Beichuan sighed helplessly, unaware that someone else was experiencing the same distress as him at that very moment.
Inside the Prime Minister's residence, Bai Yuanshan was currently engrossed in copying a calligraphy model in his study.
The study door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure slipped in silently before closing the door again.
This person was none other than Bai Yuanshan's secret agent.
The scout stepped forward, bowed to Bai Yuanshan, and then presented him with a secret letter.
He was all too familiar with the white paper with its dragon and cloud patterns and distant mountains. A glint of light flashed in his slightly cloudy eyes, and he quickly opened the secret letter and read it through.
"Get ready, I'm going out of the manor. Don't let word get out."
Bai Yuanshan gave the order in a somber tone.
The scout nodded slightly, then left the study silently, like a gust of wind.
About an hour later, Bai Yuanshan met with Emperor Xingchang in the imperial study.
All the palace servants and eunuchs responsible for serving in the imperial study were dismissed. The two old men were talking in secret, and the atmosphere was particularly heavy.
"Ahem... I had no choice but to call you here so late..."
Before he could say more than a few words, Emperor Xingchang started coughing. His old face looked rather pale, perhaps because of the cough, and he didn't even look as healthy as Bai Yuanshan, who was much older than him.
Upon seeing the emperor's strained appearance, Bai Yuanshan was startled and quickly poured him a cup of hot tea.
Bai Yuanshan couldn't help but feel anxious. The emperor's health had clearly improved a lot recently, so why did it seem like things had gotten worse now?
"Your Majesty is being too kind to this old minister. It's so late and the dew is so heavy, you must take good care of yourself! Otherwise, I would be truly filled with anxiety..."
Bai Yuanshan looked worried; he didn't want his biggest backer to collapse before his great cause was even accomplished.
Moreover, Feng Beichuan was already a headache, and now there is another formidable rival, Li Chang'an. If the emperor falls, wouldn't the two of them become the only ones who can dominate?
