Chapter 139 Shameless
Wei Xiaoran looked at the emperor, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why? Your Majesty, Lin Qian is my fiancée. You personally issued an order to grant us this marriage."
At this time, Wei Xiaoran's expression was already very ugly, and it was almost written on his face that "You want to steal my wife."
The emperor ignored Wei Xiaoran and said, "The remaining poison in my body has not yet been cleared, and I am very weak. Lin Qian must stay in the palace to nurse me back to health."
"Meng Ziling is here, and his medical skills are very good." Wei Xiaoran pointed at Meng Ziling who was standing there in a daze.
The emperor shook his head: "Lin Qian won first place in the medical competition. I still believe in her medical skills."
Lin Qian and Meng Ziling sensed that the atmosphere between the Emperor and the Prime Minister had suddenly become tense. The two brothers and sisters tacitly took a few steps back, away from the battlefield.
In the end, it was Wei Xiaoran who gave in first. He gritted his teeth and asked, "How long does the Emperor intend to keep my fiancée?"
"Lin Qian said that it would take at least a year and a half for my body to recover, so let's keep her for a year and a half!" said the emperor.
Wei Xiaoran was angry and Lin Qian was shocked.
"Qin Jin! Don't go too far! We're going to get married in half a year. Why do you want her to stay in the palace for so long? What on earth do you want to do?"
The emperor glared at her, "How dare you! Wei Xiaoran, you actually call me by my name! I'm telling you today, I'm going to keep Lin Qian in the palace for two years, no! Three years! After three years, I'll let her out!"
Not to mention that Wei Xiaoran was unhappy, Lin Qian wanted to curse the emperor after hearing it.
Before Lin Qian could even open her mouth, the Emperor shouted out the door, "Wu Lin! Come in and quickly send Miss Lin back to the side hall! Oh, and Meng Ziling, come with us too. See if there's anything poisonous there."
Wu Lin came in at a trot. Seeing that Lin Qian didn't move, he didn't dare to urge her, so he said carefully: "Miss Lin, the emperor has said so, let's go!"
Lin Qian looked at Wei Xiaoran and signaled with her eyes that this was the emperor's territory, he was the one making the decision, and they had to go along with him.
Then, Lin Qian and Meng Ziling, who was dazed and unable to recover, returned to her residence in the palace.
On the way, Meng Ziling finally figured out what was going on and asked Lin Qian, "Junior Sister! The Emperor doesn't want you to leave the palace! Do you think he wants to make you a concubine?"
Wu Lin, who had been leading the way with his head down, slowed down his pace a little when he heard Meng Ziling's words, and pricked up his ears to listen. He was also quite curious.
Lin Qian nearly choked to death on her saliva. She rolled her eyes in annoyance and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Spreading rumors is illegal. The emperor is deliberately trying to piss off Xiaoran. There's no way he'd keep me here for that long."
Meng Ziling nodded and stopped talking. The group soon arrived at the side hall where Lin Qian lived.
At this time, the emperor and Wei Xiaoran were still in a standoff.
"Just tell me what you want." Wei Xiaoran said.
The emperor crossed his arms and said, "Isn't this obvious? I want to marry Chen Junqi."
"You are the emperor today. You can marry whoever you want. With one imperial decree, Shen Junqi will be the Empress Yongyao. Who would dare to disobey then?" Wei Xiaoran said.
"Don't give me that. If I really issue an order without caring about the consequences, those old guys will definitely go on strike collectively. Anyway, I don't care. If I can't get a wife, you can forget about getting married." The emperor said with a sneer, becoming more and more shameless.
Wei Xiaoran listened and almost broke his back teeth. At the same time, he was thinking in his heart why he chose to assist this person.
I don’t know if the eldest prince will accept his surrender if he goes to assist him now.
"Your Majesty, why are you so shameless?" Wei Xiaoran asked sincerely.
"Because if you are thick-skinned you will get a wife, but if you are not thick-skinned, how can you get a wife?" The emperor was not ashamed but proud of it. The bright smile on his face made Wei Xiaoran's fists stiffen.
In the end, Wei Xiaoran had no choice but to compromise and agree, because it was his fault that his wife was held hostage.
"I understand. I will find a way to deal with the problem. Now, I'm going to talk to my wife." Wei Xiaoran said, turned around and was about to leave.
The emperor, however, looked disappointed and scolded Wei Xiaoran loudly: "How can you be so sentimental? Business is more important. Go and deal with the ministers quickly, let me marry a wife, and your wife can leave the palace. Then, you can say whatever you want, right?"
Wei Xiaoran rolled his eyes at the emperor and walked away in big strides.
The dignified and majestic aura disappeared instantly after Wei Xiaoran's back disappeared, and the emperor rubbed his hands with joy.
"Hehe! Finally got rid of this annoying thing. My ears are almost callused. Hehe, Xiao Suzi, hurry up and announce the decree."
The Chief Steward of the Imperial Household Department has been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. Now that the position is vacant, we need to find someone to fill it quickly.
If the Imperial Household Department doesn’t have a chief steward, who will prepare the ceremony for the coronation of the empress?
"What did the emperor say?" Lin Qian saw that Wei Xiaoran's hair was about to burn, so she poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.
Wei Xiaoran said, "What else can I say? He just asked me to find a way to deal with those ministers who are jumping around so that he can quickly make Shen Junqi his queen."
When he received the news that the emperor summoned Lin Qian to the palace, Wei Xiaoran guessed the emperor's intention.
It was nothing more than his lazy attitude that irritated the emperor, and the emperor was really pressed into a corner by the ministers, so he wanted to use Lin Qian to force Wei Xiaoran to think of a way for him and take the blame for him.
Lin Qian said, "It was only when I met the Emperor after entering the palace that I vaguely felt it. How could the Emperor be such a scoundrel? He could do such a thing."
Wei Xiaoran nodded in agreement.
"But things have come to this. If I don't help him solve it, he will really dare to trap you in the palace for a year or two.
I think I'll be busy for a while. Don't worry, just wait for me. I'll come and take you home soon." Wei Xiaoran said, still a little worried about Lin Qian.
Lin Qian nodded: "I understand."
Wei Xiaoran tilted his head back and drank the tea in one gulp, then came over and hugged Lin Qian, burying his head in the crook of Lin Qian's neck and rubbing against her.
Lin Qian felt a little itchy, so she went in and pushed his head, saying with a smile, "Oh! It's so itchy! Get up quickly."
Wei Xiaoran raised his head, looking aggrieved again, and said, "I won't be able to see you for a very long time. I miss you. Let me hug you!"
Wei Xiaoran's face was so handsome, and he looked particularly aggrieved at this moment, which made Lin Qian unable to bear to refuse.
"Okay! Hug me, hug me as much as you want!" Lin Qian stretched out her arms and hugged Wei Xiaoran's thin waist.
Wei Xiaoran nuzzled Lin Qian's neck twice, then asked, "Can I hug you? Can I kiss you?"
Lin Qian knew it and was about to refuse sternly, after all, Meng Ziling was still waiting outside, but who knew she would be attacked unexpectedly.
This time, Wei Xiaoran didn't wait for her to speak. He pressed the back of Lin Qian's head with one hand, and the next second, his hot lips pressed down on it.
