Chapter 595: Only by ruining the marriage can we have a chance
"Not long ago, the emperor granted a marriage to the eighth prince and appointed Lu Youping's legitimate daughter Lu Xiang as the eighth imperial consort." Prime Minister Liu couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart when this matter was mentioned. This Lu Xiang was simply the nemesis of their Liu family. Because of her, Yu'er was not only severely beaten by the eighth prince, but the emperor also punished him severely.
Chu Chengli did not notice Liu Xiang's gloomy and angry expression, but was shocked by the news to the point that his internal organs were cramping and his ears were filled with a buzzing sound.
Lu Xiang arranged a marriage for Chu Jinyan?
It turned out to be Chu Jinyan.
Why is it Chu Jinyan?
He screamed and roared in disbelief in his heart, and the murderous look in his eyes was filled with unwilling jealousy. He delayed the marriage with the Liu family and retained the position of concubine just for the purpose of marrying her, but before he could start planning, she became his sister-in-law.
Prime Minister Liu looked at the ferocious look on Chu Chengli's face and couldn't help but show suspicion, but in a moment he understood that His Highness must have thought of the key.
"Your Highness..." Liu Xiang called out, but seeing that he was immersed in his own thoughts and did not respond, he called out again: "Your Highness, Second Highness..."
Chu Chengli's ears were filled with thunderous roars and the cold voice of Prime Minister Liu, which brought him back to his senses. His dark pupils narrowed slightly, hiding something. He swallowed a mouthful of blood and looked at Prime Minister Liu expressionlessly, "What did Prime Minister just say?"
Prime Minister Liu frowned slightly at Chu Chengli's absent-minded look, and quickly shook off the strange feeling in his heart, saying, "The emperor values the eighth prince so much, he will definitely carefully select a principal wife for him. Although Lu Xiang is the daughter of the minister, the Lu family has a shallow foundation. Apart from Concubine Zhen in the palace, she has no connections in the capital. She should not be a threat, but I don't know how she was adopted by the Duke of Anguo. I thought the emperor chose her as the eighth imperial concubine because he saw the power behind the Song family. Now it seems that the emperor's move is very hidden."
"Who would have thought that the Shen family had secretly finalized the marriage with the Qiao family, and was only waiting for Shen Man to return to Beijing victoriously to propose marriage? An Anguogong is already not to be underestimated, and with the addition of Shen Man, Chu Jinyan will become an increasing threat to us."
At the end of the conversation, Liu Xiang's face was clouded with gloom. He never expected that Chen Man, who was not being wooed by anyone, would stand behind Chu Jinyan in this way.
But this was not done intentionally. When his secret agent came to report to him, the army had already arrived at the gate of the capital, so he was so impatient to come and see Chu Chengli.
"We must not allow the marriage between the Shen family and the Qiao family to take place." Liu Xiang said with certainty, gritting his teeth.
Chu Chengli glanced at Liu Xiang, and gently stroked his chin with his slender fingers. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he said, "Chu Jinyan can have the support of the Song family and the Shen family because he married Lu Xiang. Since you want to break his wings, why not break it off from the root? Instead of destroying the marriage between the Shen and Qiao families, it is better to directly destroy the marriage between Lao Ba and Lu Xiang."
Yes, it ruined the marriage of these two people.
This way he has a chance!
A voice in his heart was yelling wildly, and Chu Chengli's expression suddenly became a little crazy.
Prime Minister Liu looked at Chu Chengli's eyes that suddenly lit up, and his expression became a little serious: "This is indeed the best way, but there are too many variables. I think we should first ruin the marriage between the Chen and Qiao families, and then make long-term plans."
