Chapter 209: He Just Wants to Marry Her

The Crane God Doctor often goes out to collect medicine. Sometimes, he comes back once every ten or half a month, and sometimes it takes a whole month."“I understand, thank you.” Xiao Yuge walked back..."How can I possibly eat this..." The Emperor frowned, letting out a long sigh. A headache began to pound in his head, and he instinctively rubbed it.

"Your Majesty, your servant is here." The Empress thoughtfully went behind him and gently began massaging his shoulders. "Your Majesty, has something happened in court"

The Empress pressed like that, and the Emperor suddenly felt much better: "Being a prince from two countries, one by one they all want to marry Xiao Yuge. No matter which side I agree with, I will offend the other. At this time, it is not suitable for war, and there is also Tingxuan, he also came to join in the fun. I really don't know what kind of love potion Xiao Yuge gave them..."

"Your Majesty, if Xiao Yuge hadn't broken off her engagement with the Crown Prince, perhaps none of this would have happened..." The Empress couldn't help but hear her son mention it day in and day out. She was also worried that he might lose his rationality because of Xiao Yuge.

“Since everyone wants to marry Xiao Yuge, I can’t just split her in half…” The Emperor suddenly sat up and opened his eyes wide. “That’s right! If Xiao Yuge were gone, then they wouldn’t have to fight over her anymore.”

"Your Majesty, you mean..." The Empress seemed to have thought of something as well.

"Yes, sacrificing Xiao Yuge alone to prevent the turmoil of the Three Kingdoms War, what's wrong with that" At this moment, the emperor had made up his mind.

"But, if Si Chen..." the Empress couldn't help but worry. She knew her son's temperament best; if Your Majesty truly killed Xiao Yuge, then her son...

If Xiao Yuge were gone, then the Crown Prince wouldn't be so listless now. She is a beauty who brings trouble, killing her would be for the best. Perhaps after a while, his son would forget about it.

The Emperor's eyes darkened slightly: "Empress, recently, I have received too many memorials about the Prince. The things he has done are outrageous and need to be curbed. As the Prince's mother, you should properly guide him."

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!" the Empress hurriedly bowed and pleaded guilty.

"Fine, she's just a woman. The Crown Prince will be the Emperor one day, and when that happens, there will be countless women in his palaces—he won't even remember her." The Emperor waved his hand dismissively. "Leave."

"This servant bids you farewell!"

After the Empress left, the Emperor's voice dropped to a low growl: "Chéngyǐng!"

A shadowy figure flashed, and the commander of the dark guards, clad in dark armor, appeared like a ghost!

"Your Majesty!"

Fengqi Palace.

"Mother!"

As soon as the Empress had retired to bed, Qian Si Chen hurried out of her inner chambers.

"All of you, withdraw." With a wave of her hand, the Empress commanded the maids and eunuchs standing nearby to leave.

"Yes, my Lady!"

After only the two of them, mother and son, were left, Qian Si Chen once again excitedly asked, “Mother Empress, did Father Emperor agree to bestow a new marriage upon my humble self and Ge’er”

The Empress had just gone to the Yixin Palace, intending to secure a marriage for her son. However, the Emperor's words choked back what she was about to say. Now, she even thinks that the Emperor's actions are better.

"Dust-er, there's no need to rush this. Your mother just went to inquire about your father's thoughts. Your father is troubled by the fact that both princes from the two countries are vying for Ge'er's hand in marriage. If we were to reinstate your engagement with Ge'er now, it would inevitably offend both princes, and could even lead to war. So, we need to discuss this matter further."

"Mother, Ge'er has already reached marriageable age. If she agrees to marry someone else, it will be too late."

The Empress, Liu Mei, slightly raised her brows and looked at her own anxious appearance, sighing inwardly: “Chen'er, are you worried that your little uncle will marry Ge'er”

Qian Si Chen pursed her lips, remaining silent. She had someone investigate, and now the little imperial uncle was practically inseparable from Ge'er. He couldn't accompany Ge'er out of the palace every day, and the little imperial uncle's domineering and flirtatious nature was well known to him. He was truly afraid that Ge'er would be captivated by the little imperial uncle.

"Chen'er, if Ge'er truly wants to marry you, Little Emperor Uncle, then it proves she doesn't love you sincerely. To make things unpleasant between you and your Imperial Father for a woman who doesn't love you, this isn't like your style."

“No! Mother, Ge’er loves me! Don't you remember She even shielded me from a sword. Even the Imperial physician said that if the sword had gone in a few more inches, she would have died. For her son, she was willing to sacrifice her life. How could she not love her son I'm just worried that Little Uncle will scheme and trick her.”

"Your uncle's admirers are countless, even if Ge'er possesses some beauty, how could your uncle forsake an entire garden for a single flower Rest assured, what is yours, she will inevitably end up with you!" Seeing her son so infatuated with Xiao Yuge, the Empress grew more convinced that the Emperor's decision was right.

"Mother, the son wishes to leave the palace and see Ge'er..." It has been several days since he last saw Ge'er, and his heart is filled with longing.

The Empress frowned and coughed lightly, then said in a serious tone: "Chen'er, the one who is betrothed to you now is Fu'er. She is a County Princess and also a woman of good fortune. You should spend more time with her. The other day, your mother heard that you made her cry again"

"Mother, Your son just went to accompany her yesterday." Qian Si Chen pondered inwardly: Which gossipy servant dared to complain to Mother again

"Chen'er, why are you delaying your marriage to Fu'er Is it because of Ge'er"

"Yes!" Qian Sichu didn't even bother to hide it: "This son is smitten with Ge'er. Even if this life is destined for me to marry another woman, this son only wants to first marry her as his wife."

"Nonsense!" The Empress, upon hearing this, immediately flew into a rage and slammed her fist on the table. "Fu'er is a woman of great fortune, how can she be a concubine"

"The prosperity of a nation cannot rely on a single woman. Even without the Qiyun girl, this prince can still make Lan Zhao country prosperous!" Qian Si Chen didn't feel that he was wrong.

“Silence!” The Empress’s face flushed red with anger: “Chen'er, no matter how mischievous you were in the past, your mother always treated you as a child. But now it concerns the fate of the nation, how can you be so reckless For the sake of a mere woman, you are willing to gamble on the fate of Lan Zhao Nation Do you think you are worthy of your ancestors who fought bravely on the battlefield”

"Mother..."

The Empress took a deep breath, suppressing the anger that was threatening to erupt: “Chen'er, when you were betrothed to Ge’er, you said that you loved Fu’er. For you, Mother defied your father's wrath and even pleaded with him for a marriage decree for you two. Now, Fu’er is finally able to marry you openly and legitimately, and yet you tell Mother that you love Ge’er Chen’er, what do you want to do Are you trying to drive your mother away”

"Mother, please calm down!" Qian Si Chen saw his mother so angry and felt guilty. He quickly stepped forward to help her up.

The Empress, however, brushed his hand away: "Chen'er, in this deep palace, the two of us, mother and son, have managed to get here not by luck. Your position is coveted by others, who lurk in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity. But you, for a little bit of romantic love, are willing to risk your future! What do you want Do you want to drive me to death before you're happy", what exactly has happened"Ming Yang thought for a moment: "During your absence, quite a lot has happened. Let me slowly tell you everything..."After Qian Tingxuan treated Xiao Yuge's wounds and spen...
