Although the Emperor of Chu regretted not keeping him, he could not force Duan Rongshi to have dinner with him as he did to Li Qingluo.
I could only watch Duan Rongshi's departing back dejectedly.
Who could have imagined that the once cruel and inhumane King of Chu would now be as humble as a child who had done something wrong, always at a loss as to what to do when facing his own nephew and when he was alone with no one around.
Only in the court could he openly praise Duan Rongshi over and over again for his achievements, and look at him again and again with joy in his eyes.
At this moment, standing on a high place and watching Duan Rongshi's departing back, the Emperor of Chu felt satisfied.
"The marriage of the King of Yue and his wife must be carefully planned and arranged."
Eunuch Ji: "Your Majesty, your concern for His Highness Yue Wang will surely be very touching."
The Emperor of Chu smiled delightedly, "I hope so. Ji Xi, did you see? I mentioned this to him tonight. Although he didn't thank me, he didn't refuse it outright either."
"You don't know how excited I am."
"I've never done anything for him. This is at least better than what that beast Emperor Yan did, right?"
Eunuch Ji didn't dare to speak, because he was full of doubts: How did it get to Emperor Yan of Daliang again?
Your Majesty's mind is becoming increasingly unclear. Why is he speaking so incoherently?
Moreover, the King of Yue ignored him as the emperor, but he actually became proud.
You're not angry, furious, or upset?
It's simply abnormal.
Who exactly are the King of Yue and his wife to him?
It's abnormal that he can eat His Majesty so hard that it's like he has been possessed by another body.
Just as Eunuch Ji was thinking, a short-sighted eunuch suddenly knocked over the teacup he was holding, startling the Emperor of Chu.
The King of Chu was instantly furious: "Asshole! Drag him away and chop him off—"
Eunuch Ji shuddered, but he hadn't changed, still hadn't changed. It turned out to be the real His Majesty.
However, Eunuch Ji quickly advised, "Your Majesty, if you let me encounter this situation, I will definitely stop you and mention His Royal Highness the Prince of Yue..."
He knelt on the ground trembling, not daring to look up, for fear that he would be the next person to be beheaded.
However, the Emperor of Chu took a few deep breaths and actually endured it.
Then, in the shocked eyes of Eunuch Ji, he just waved his hand and lowered his voice and said, "Take him away. I don't want to see him again!"
So, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he has to be beheaded?
Eunuch Ji's pupils suddenly shrank.
As expected, Your Highness the King of Yue will surely have great fortune in the future!
Here, Duan Rongshi had just stepped into the gate of Nangong Mansion when the guards who stayed at home came forward and whispered a few words.
Duan Rongshi's eyes darkened, and the emotions in his eyes also became gloomy.
"Your Highness understands. Please go down."
Leng Dian and Zhui Yu were both following behind Duan Rongshi, so they could best feel their master's eagerness, which had been suppressed just now, but had probably cooled down at this moment.
Leng Dian: "Your Highness, would you like two of your subordinates to go check on this person?"
Zhui Yu: "If Your Highness is worried that the Princess will mind this, then we two should keep it a secret. We must make sure that person doesn't dare to tell anyone!"
Zhui Yu now hates those who have dirty thoughts and evil intentions the most.
It was obvious that the male master of the mansion was not at home, yet he, a foreigner, had the audacity to actually move into the mansion, unafraid of tarnishing the reputation of their princess!
What a scoundrel who doesn't know the rules!
Duan Rongshi said, "Mind your own business."
"Get down!"
After saying that, he left the two of them behind and went back to Tangdi Residence first.
When I stepped into the yard, Li Qingluo was sitting by the window writing under the moonlight.
But the waste paper was already scattered all over the floor.
His sleeves were also stained with ink.
The whole person looked as miserable as a calico cat.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
When the maids who were serving nearby saw him come back, they all knelt on the ground.
Li Qingluo then dropped his pen and quickly stood up: "Ashi, something happened!"
She walked over with an anxious look on her face, pulled him into the room, and handed him Nanping's letter.
Duan Rongshi finished reading with a normal expression. Li Qingluo saw that his expression did not change at all and instantly understood.
She couldn't accept it: "So you knew it a long time ago?"
Duan Rongshi: "Luo'er, I went back to Daliang."
Li Qingluo couldn't help but raise her voice: "Then why didn't you tell me!?"
"Although I didn't do anything wrong in helping Zong Zheng Xingyao prevent the marriage, I still can't help but wonder, if both of them were sent on a marriage mission at the same time, who would I help prevent this fate?!"
"In my heart, which is more important now, Zong Zheng Xingyao's friendship or Nan Ping?"
"Duan Rongshi, tell me!"
Duan Rongshi raised his hands and grasped her arms tightly. "Luo'er, their fate of marrying off as foreign ministers was not your fault. Why are you taking the blame?"
Li Qingluo: "Because if Zong Zheng Xingyao had married earlier, Nanping's marriage would have failed, and she wouldn't have married into the Western Regions!!"
Duan Rongshi shook his head: "No, whether Zong Zheng Xingyao goes to the Western Regions or not, Nanping will definitely be sent to the Western Regions."
"Luo'er, don't you understand?"
"Nanping is a sacrifice, and also a knife used by Duan Rongjue and Xiyue in their struggle for power and gain."
"Nanping should have already set out on her way to the Western Regions. Do you think Xingyao will be faster than her if you don't stop her?"
"What's more, if both girls were to marry at the same time, the Western Region Imperial Court would definitely accept them all!"
Li Qingluo covered his face with his hands, feeling extremely painful.
"I can't save Nanping."
