Chapter 139: Marriage Postponed
He paused here, which made Luo Ziqian alert immediately, and he immediately said:
"Your Majesty, although this wedding has been delayed, I have already determined that Miss Gu is the daughter-in-law of our Luo family. I beg Your Majesty to allow us to choose another date for the wedding."
But Emperor Rongcheng shook his head.
"Lord Luo, I used to think you were... But now, I know that you are not a homosexual, but a talented person with great potential."
"So, I specially asked you to take up a position in the Ministry of Works.
As for this girl, her background is too poor, and she has a child, so I'm afraid she's not worthy of you."
Hearing this, Luo Ziqian had a vague bad feeling and continued quickly:
"Your Majesty, I do not care about these external names. In my heart, these are not important. What matters is the hearts and character of the people around me."
"As for those external things, they are just clouds."
These words made Emperor Rongcheng think deeply.
He couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"I didn't expect that Lord Luo Aiqing is also such a perceptive person."
"In that case, I will definitely find you a more suitable woman to marry in the future."
Emperor Rongcheng looked at Luo Ziqian's eyes and Shen Hechuan's expectant eyes, and finally did not directly say the final word on the matter, so he delayed and said:
"As for your marriage to Gu, let's postpone it for now..."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ziqian immediately sat down on the ground, looking at Gu Jingchun with eyes full of regret and discomfort.
Gu Jingchun also noticed Luo Ziqian's gaze, but she didn't know how to face him, so she could only lower her head.
But deep down in my heart I breathed a sigh of relief.
The person who was happiest to hear this news was Shen Hechuan.
At this moment, he didn't care about the presence of Emperor Rongcheng, nor did he care about Luo Ziqian's murderous eyes. He immediately looked at Gu Jingchun with affection.
Of course, Gu Jingchun still kept his head down at this moment, not saying a word and never looking at him.
It was not until Emperor Rongcheng was tired and waved his hand, asking them to leave, that Gu Jingchun stood up and walked quickly out of Wanhe Hall.
As soon as he went out, Shen Hechuan chased after Gu Jingchun.
He wanted to know how Gu Jingchun escaped.
How did you know all this?
Today, if Gu Jingchun had not taken the initiative to go to the palace to sue Chen Mubai, things would probably not have gone so smoothly.
Of course, if Luo Ziqian had not entered the palace first, his plan would not have been implemented smoothly.
For this reason, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Luo Ziqian.
Although he is a little uglier now.
Chen Hechuan also really wanted to say to him, good brother.
Even if he didn't discuss it with him in advance, he could guess what he could do and make the decision that would be most beneficial to Shen Hechuan.
This is the tacit understanding he and Luo Ziqian have developed through years of cooperation.
But why did Gu Jingchun do that?
Is it because of the friendship they had many years ago?
Or because she has him in her heart.
So, after learning of her situation, she would disregard her own reputation and safety and rush into the palace just to lend him a hand.
This realization made Shen Hechuan ecstatic. He didn't care that he was still in the palace and immediately chased after Gu Jingchun.
But he had just taken a few steps when he was stopped by Luo Ziqian.
He ignored Shen Hechuan's struggle and pulled him to a secluded place, then angrily scolded:
"Chen Hechuan, you bastard, you are unworthy of being the crown prince.
When I saw your jade pendant, I thought you had met with some kind of accident, so I followed your lead and entered the palace. I never thought you would covet my wife, and even ruined the one I had.
Luo Ziqian was filled with grievances and said harshly:
"I...I swear, from today on, I, Luo Ziqian, will break off all ties with you.
From today on, it's either you or me. Since you like my wife, you are destined to lose me, your good brother."
When Luo Ziqian picked up Chen Hechuan's jade pendant today, he realized that this was probably done deliberately by Chen Hechuan.
Because Chen Hechuan never takes off his jade pendant.
Moreover, with his intelligence, he would not have left such an obvious handle even if he had kidnapped the bride.
So even though he guessed that Shen Hechuan's target was Gu Jingchun, he still gritted his teeth and took the jade pendant into the palace.
Because he knew that he was the most important part of Shen Hechuan's plan, and the first arrow that allowed everything to go smoothly.
But even though he had already guessed the result, he still couldn't stop feeling sad when he heard that the marriage was postponed.
I am sad that the wife who was about to be married to me is gone.
What makes me even more sad is that I clearly understand Shen Hechuan’s goal, but I still can’t turn a blind eye to it.
He was even more sad because Shen Hechuan had seen through him long ago and set a trap for him.
So he was sad and angry at the moment, and he wanted to cut Shen Hechuan into pieces.
And because Chen Hechuan was in a good mood at the moment, he was patient enough to coax Luo Ziqian.
He guessed right.
He did put the jade pendant down on purpose.
If King Rui wants to accomplish something, he must need something from him.
He had discovered last time that one of his subordinates had been bribed by him, so he deliberately did not deal with him and allowed him to successfully steal the jade pendant.
That’s why what happened today happened.
As for whether Luo Ziqian would enter the palace, he was completely gambling.
Luo Ziqian did not disappoint him.
Even though Gu Jingchun was between them, even though he beat Luo Ziqian into a pig's head.
He will cooperate with him at the first opportunity.
This is his good brother, his right-hand man.
So, when Shen Hechuan saw that he was angry, he immediately comforted him:
"I know you feel bad, but Jingchun is not suitable for you. If you want a wife, can I find a good one for you?"
Luo Ziqian lowered his head and said nothing, his eyes red.
"My sister, Princess Rongyang, has always liked you. Why don't you marry her?"
"Although this child has a somewhat erratic personality, she's actually quite innocent. I used to think you were a fox, and I was afraid you'd bully her and eat her up without leaving anything behind. But now that I see you're feeling so miserable, I'll give her to you. How do you think?"
Hearing this, Luo Ziqian finally whispered, "Get lost!"
He opened his mouth and took a long time to utter a word, but the ending tone was still slightly trembling, and it was obvious that he was trying hard to hold back tears.
Chen Hechuan said again: "I'm telling you the truth, you can think about it."
Luo Ziqian turned his head away. "Don't use this child as a shield. Don't I know what you're thinking?"
"You are clearly bullying me."
As Luo Ziqian spoke, his voice trembled a little more.
Shen Hechuan was silent for a moment.
Then he said slowly: "Zi Qian, other things are fine, but the only thing you can't lie to is the relationship.
I can't do it. Even if it's you, I won't let her marry you."
"So, even if she doesn't want to, even if you hate me and become alienated from me, I can't just watch her marry you?"
