Just when Shen Qiangwei and others were actively preparing for the wedding, the empress suddenly changed her mind and summoned Huo Yao alone. After asking for his opinion, she sent people to the front line overnight. The wedding was postponed indefinitely and ended in nothing.
Shen Qiangwei felt aggrieved and couldn't explain herself clearly. She didn't understand why the empress changed so suddenly.
The empress's explanation for this was that she respected Huo Yao's opinion. The Huo family had sacrificed their lives for the country for generations, and they should be respected. In order to make amends to Shen Qiangwei, no matter who she liked, she would grant her marriage on the spot.
Such a male is hard to come by, not to mention that the males that Shen Qiangwei likes are now Shen Yin's beastly husbands.
So Shen Qiangwei reluctantly mentioned Song Yu. The empress immediately had a headache and quickly changed the subject, "You spent a lot of money to get a mermaid prince. Can you handle it? The Song family is different from ordinary families. We have to follow the consent of the Song family."
This is not allowed, that is not allowed. Shen Qiangwei was also angry, but she did not dare to lose her temper because of the majesty of the empress.
Just settle for the second best, "I will convince the Song family."
Huo Yao was safe, and the fire spread to Song Yu in the laboratory. The empress didn't take it seriously and waved her hand to let Shen Qiangwei go.
In order to be promoted to SSS level, Shen Qiangwei tried to impress the entire Song family with benefits.
Song Yu is the son of the head of the Song family and is extremely talented. They simply look down on Shen Qiangwei's sudden wealth, but she tempts them with a healing potion and promises to apply for a patent after the potion is successfully developed and authorize them to make it.
Such enormous benefits are impossible to refuse, even though the empress had previously told Song Yu to focus on the pharmaceutical business.
The Song family members took turns to persuade Song Yu to marry Shen Qiangwei.
…
"I'm really convinced. We've only had the mermaid for a few days, and it belongs to both Huo Yao and Song Yu. Is Shen Qiangwei that hungry?"
At the dinner table, the well-informed Quan Yue couldn't stop feeling upset when talking about this matter.
As both are males and come from prominent families, they understand too well the pressure of being bound by family.
But they happened to enjoy the resources of their family, so it was difficult to refuse a request for marriage.
Gu Xingmang deeply agreed with this. When he was forced to marry Chen Yin, he was in the same predicament and felt that his life was worse than death, but he could not resist his parents' wishes. Song Yu is now the same as he was back then, but he is just luckier, otherwise he would have been in dire straits for the rest of his life.
Huo Xun sighed. He had met Song Yu before. He was from Chicheng and was completely devoted to the medicine. "This matter is too complicated. If the Song family is willing, even the empress can't say much."
Empress Huo Yao had already taken action, and was thinking about making amends in her heart, and Song Yu just happened to walk into the trap.
Chen Yin's eyes went dark, and he was brainstorming endlessly.
Quan Yue turned his eyes away and said, "Although this matter is disgusting, Your Highness, you cannot interfere this time. The Empress has already retreated, and you can't slap her in the face again."
Chen Yin hadn't spoken explicitly about Huo Yao's situation, but who in the room didn't know it was Chen Yin's doing? The fact that she could make the Empress change her mind was truly astonishing.
At this time, Huo Xun put down his chopsticks, "...By the way, I heard from home that Your Highness should go back and have a simple meal when he is free to thank you."
Being able to save her son without any loss, and the fact that the empress herself came forward, even the arrogant and overbearing mother of Huo Yao became obedient.
If Shen Qiangwei had really married Huo Yao this time, the Huo family would have been forced to be tied to the same boat with her. Now that Huo Yao has escaped, Shen Qiangwei has only gained the resentment of the Huo family. Things have come to this point and it is a fight to the death.
The Huo family must be grateful for Chen Yin's timely assistance. If there is a battle for imperial power in the future, they will most likely lend a hand because of their relationship and favor with Huo Xun.
Chen Yin didn't like this meaningless social interaction and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then something came to her mind, "Okay."
If she goes there, Huo Xun's mother's status will be improved, and her life at home will be much better in the future. It will also give Huo Xun face.
However, what made Chen Yin fall into deep thought was the Empress's thoughts. The Empress was not a soft-hearted person, and changing her mind at the last minute was not her style. This time she actually took action.
Chen Yin did not feel happy, only anxious.
"Your Highness! His Majesty asked you to come over. Miss Qiangwei and the others are here!"
Marquis Lu suddenly appeared, calling back Shen Yin's thoughts. Surrounded by the worried eyes of Gu Xingmang and others, she subconsciously thought that Shen Qiangwei's marriage was ruined and there was trouble again.
Shen Yin stood up and shook his head at them, "It's okay."
…
In the Peony Palace, there was an eerie silence. Chen Yin thought it was because of the engagement or the Song family's affairs, but she didn't expect...
In the center of the hall, there is a pitch-black cage. Huge chains imprison the man's limbs. His silver hair is like frost and snow, his figure is slender and explosive, his face is evil and charming, like a demon that captivates people and is extremely aggressive. His blood-red eyes, as deep as a cold pool, carry a cold murderous aura, like a demon god descending. Although he is beautiful, the bloody murderous aura around him makes people dare not have any fantasy.
Chen Yin stepped into the hall, attracting countless gazes. He was caught off guard as he met the man in the iron cage. A cold murderous aura hit him in the face, and his scalp went numb. He felt better after taking a nap.
He deliberately avoided the cage. The breath inside made Chen Yin subconsciously resist. The dangerous breath made his skin covered with goose bumps. With such deterrent power, his mental strength must be at least SS level.
"Queen Mother?"
Chen Yin slowly bowed and saluted, looking at the people in the hall curiously.
Shen Qiangwei's face was gloomy, with a faint blue tint on her eyelids, and her eyes were cold. She stared at Shen Yin as if she was looking at a dead person.
Seeing Chen Yin, the empress in the upper seat suddenly chuckled. Sensing her tension, she pointed at the man in the center and said, "Xiao Yin, you're just in time. Look at this dragon. It took a lot of effort to capture it. This beast wanted to steal the formula of the spiritual potion, but was captured by our army."
When mentioning the casualties, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across the empress's eyes. She stood up and cast a cold gaze on the man in the cage.
His clothes were torn, and his body was covered in bloodstains and countless blood holes. One could imagine how much firepower he had mobilized. His bloodshot eyes merged with the blood, and the cold murderous aura seemed to be tangible, as if he wanted to kill everyone in the hall.
Chen Yin's neck stiffened, and suddenly he understood.
Flood dragon——Xiao Zhi.
The leader of the underwater dragon clan. This kind of orcs are extremely rare and lurk in the seabed and rarely appear in the human world. However, the dragon clan is lustful and often abducts females, which angers the officials and triggers a war from time to time.
The two tribes are incompatible.
In the original novel, he was captured by Marshal Huo and given to Shen Qiangwei by the empress. That night, he cut off Shen Qiangwei's hands, seriously injured eight beastly husbands, massacred the palace and escaped. Afterwards, he led his people to launch endless revenge on Shen Qiangwei.
After escaping from several manhunts, Shen Qiangwei did not dare to leave the palace for two consecutive years. It was not until Shen Qilin ascended the throne that Huo Yao led an army of 20,000 and used S-level armor to kill him personally.
Chen Yin was dumbfounded. My goodness, this is not a handsome man, he is a murderer!
At this time, Shen Qiangwei's system issued a task reminder.
[Mark Xiao Zhi, leader of the Jiaolong clan—receive SSS-level spiritual power rewards, plus S-level armor.]
Shen Qiangwei suddenly looked up, her eyes glowing red.
This was also the first time that Shen Yin had no desire to stop Shen Qiangwei's progress.
Go ahead and marry her.
It makes me laugh just thinking about it.
