Gao Qinglie narrowed his eyes slightly, secretly surprised in his heart, but remained expressionless.
He never expected that Yan Xuanye would make such a request, asking for a woman who had been married to someone else.
Gao Qinglie: "Su Qingci is already married and is now a married woman. She is also the daughter of an important official of our dynasty and the wife of a loyal official."
"I'm afraid this... isn't appropriate."
Gao Qinglie looked at Yan Xuanye and thought to himself, this man is really bold.
He didn't even think about whether Lu Huan would agree to this, and he actually dared to ask for Su Qingci so directly.
Yan Xuanye: "Using a woman to quell the situation is surely the wisest move for your country."
"I originally thought this move was also for His Majesty's consideration... I never expected..."
Gao Qinglie chuckled: "There are countless beauties in Nanchang."
"If the Prince of Yan is interested in this, I can send people to carefully select seventeen or eighteen stunning beauties to give to you. Their looks will definitely surpass that of Su Qingci."
"I wonder what the prince thinks?" he asked.
What a joke, Yan Xuanye might not know what kind of person Lu Huan is, but he, Gao Qinglie, has some idea about him.
This person is a vindictive person.
In the past, Gao Jiarong caused Lu Huan's biological mother to die from complications during childbirth of her second son.
Lu Huan was still young at that time and didn't understand the inside story.
However, as he grew older, Gao Qinglie deliberately designed to let him know about this past event.
But who knew that although Lu Huan did not reveal anything on the surface, he was playing dirty tricks behind the scenes.
He ordered someone to secretly replace Gao Jiarong's pregnancy medicine with a medicine that would prevent her from getting pregnant forever.
Even if you get pregnant by chance, the child will definitely die in the womb, and no matter how you investigate, there will be no way to find out!
But that idiot Gao Jiarong didn't know it at all, and he just kept drinking it for many years as if nothing had happened.
At that time, he and Lu Huan both thought it was because of the medicine.
Later I found out that Lu Guang had never touched Gao Jiarong, so Gao Jiarong had never been pregnant for so many years.
But Gao Qingrong continued to take the medicine year after year, thinking that maybe one day Lu Guang would come to his senses and fall in love with her, and then she would become pregnant with their child.
She simply thought that this was just an ordinary medicine that helped to nourish the body and promote conception, and there was nothing unusual about it.
In addition, Gao Jiarong had 100% trust in the imperial physician assigned by Gao Qinglie and never had any doubts. She always used him with confidence.
Little did she know that it was Gao Qinglie who revealed to Lu Huan that she had caused Lu Huan's mother to die in childbirth.
Gao Jiarong, this stupid man, didn't even think deeply about the interests involved.
How could an emperor easily marry his own sister to a general who holds military power!
If they had a son, he would be of royal blood.
In addition, Lu Guang had a large number of troops under his command, and most of this vast land was conquered by his troops. He had a very high prestige in the army, and everyone was convinced of him.
As the king of a country, how could he be at ease to let his own sister marry this famous general and give birth to a healthy offspring?
After all, if Lu Guang had any ulterior motives and attempted to usurp the throne, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, he could not completely deprive Lu Guang of his power.
The reason is simple, because most of the generals in the army are Lu Guang's confidants, who follow his lead and obey his orders and dispatches only.
If he forcibly took back the military power and angered Lu Guang, he, as the emperor, would suffer the consequences.
If that were all, I could still accept it.
But what made things even more difficult was that Gao Qinglie gradually realized that Lu Huan seemed to have secretly trained an army, and also had a team of well-trained and well-equipped secret guards.
There had been rumors before that Lu Huan secretly ordered the construction of an underground passage after suppressing the rebellion.
He seemed to be rebelling.
Gao Qinglie secretly sent people to investigate many times, but he was never able to find any clues about the tunnel, not even the location of the entrance.
Faced with such a situation, Gao Qinglie had to put the matter aside for the time being, wait for the opportunity, and not act rashly.
However, Gao Qinglie knew in his heart that Lu Huan harbored resentment towards their Gao family simply because of the cause of his mother's death.
Lu Huan is a sinister and cunning person. It is difficult to detect any abnormality from his appearance because he will not easily show his emotions in front of others.
But after he leaves, he will keep that hatred firmly in his heart.
Lu Huan was not in a hurry. He was like a lion lurking in the darkness, quietly waiting for the best opportunity.
Perhaps when people are off guard, he will suddenly leap up and bite the enemy's neck tightly.
That fierce attack would be as ferocious as a wild beast, tearing the bones, blood and flesh together until the throat is broken and the person is killed.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Gao Qinglie really didn't want to make an enemy of Lu Huan, nor did he want to offend him.
Although Lu Huan and Lu Guang have always had a lot of grudges over the years, they are still father and son with blood thicker than water.
Lu Guang holds the military power, while Lu Huan secretly builds secret passages and trains soldiers and secret guards.
Neither this father nor his son is easy to deal with.
If the two of them joined forces, the city would be plunged into civil strife before Yan Xuanye could send troops to attack it.
Therefore, Gao Qinglie would rather refuse Yan Xuanye's request today than offend Lu Huan.
The Gao family brother and sister, the younger sister killed Lu Huan's mother. If he, as the emperor, took his wife away and gave her to Yan Xuanye, that would be a real slap in Lu Huan's face and would create complete hatred with him!
