Chapter 747: To Be a Concubine or Crown Princess?
ry light, he still woke up Xiao Yuge who was sleeping. She mumbled and asked."Just a bird flying by, nothing to worry about, sleep." One of his hands was still covering her ears, but his eyes were fil..."Xiao Yuge, don't you think you are the blessed one, that's why I dare not touch you" The emperor glared at Xiao Yuge with fury in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, I have never thought this way before. And I have said it more than once, even proven it, that I am not the woman of destiny." Xiao Yuge had gone all out. It was still difficult for the emperor to trap her. At worst, she would fight to the death with him.
"Is that so Take a look at your feet!"
The Emperor's words caused Xiao Yuge to subconsciously lower her head, but her expression changed slightly as if she understood something: "My humble servant understands, Your Majesty is scheming against my humble servant!" Turning back, the Imperial Advisor had already slowly walked out from the side.
It turned out that her feet were inexplicably blossoming with lotus flowers at this moment. Even the places she had just walked through had faint lotus blossoms appearing, no wonder when she came in just now, Uncle An had specifically instructed her to remove her embroidered shoes and walk in lightly, lest she anger Heaven's countenance as the Emperor was currently in a foul mood.
It's all her fault for believing it at the time and forgetting about it, falling for the emperor and the grand tutor’s trick. Turns out, there really was a scene of lotus blooming step by step. And Qian Si Chen, who just walked in with her, saw this and actually laughed!
Ge'er is the true daughter of destiny, which proves that she can only marry him in this life. How could he not be happy
"Xiao Yu Ge, what else do you have to say" the Emperor said with a smug air.
Xiao Yuge's face turned extremely ugly, gritting her teeth: "This woman has nothing to say!" The facts speak louder than words. At this time, she had nothing to say. It seemed that her and Qian Tingxuan were destined to have many obstacles between them.
"My lady, you are indeed clever to have tampered with the Sky-Gazing Mirror. Alas, truth is truth, and though you may conceal it for a time, you cannot hide it forever!" The State Astrologer was also pleased with himself, having discovered the secrets on the Sky-Gazing Mirror by chance.
"I don't know what the Grandmaster means by that." Xiao Yuge frowned, she had actually forgotten about this recently.
The Grand Master smiled without answering, after all, the goal was achieved.
"Xiao Yu Ge, as the daughter of auspicious fortune, you are destined to marry the Crown Prince, transforming your personal fortune into national prosperity, benefiting the people of Lan Zhao. How could you abandon them for your own selfish desires"
The Emperor was both annoyed and helpless in the face of Xiao Yuge's stubbornness. As everyone said, she was a woman favored by fortune; he couldn't possibly touch her. However, her rebellious nature also gave him a headache. To be honest, he was afraid that one day, in a fit of anger, she would vanish into the martial world. Even as the Emperor, there were things he couldn't do.
For the first time, he had a surge of wanting to lock her up!
"Your Majesty, even if this servant girl is blessed with good fortune and even if she doesn't marry the Crown Prince, this servant girl will still benefit the people of Lan Zhao. What I said yesterday has already been made clear: in this life, this servant girl only has one husband, that is, the King. As I said, a loyal minister does not serve two masters, and a valiant woman does not marry two husbands. If Your Majesty insists on marrying me to the Crown Prince, then this servant girl will have only one choice left: to die with honor!"
"Presumptuous!" As expected, he had angered the Emperor once again. He slammed his fist on the dragon case and pointed accusingly at Xiao Yuge, his black eyes narrowed: "Xiao Yuge, are you threatening me Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you" His face was flushed with anger; if Xiao Yuge hadn't been blessed by good fortune, he would have already ordered her dismembered.
"Father, please calm your anger!" Qian Si Chen, fearing that the emperor would truly harm Ge'er in a fit of rage, quickly knelt and pleaded, "Ge'er just couldn't accept it for a moment. Please give her some time, Father."
Xiao Yu Ge pursed her lips, saying nothing. The emperor's pressure had already annoyed her.
"Except for Xiao Yu Ge, everyone else step down!" The Emperor's face was filled with rage, an expression that seemed beyond words.
"Yes!" Qian Sichun didn't dare to disobey, so he could only retreat with worry etched on his face.
The national master merely glanced lightly at Xiao Yuge once, then followed suit and withdrew.
In the Daiyang Palace, only Xiao Yu Ge and the Emperor remained. The Emperor's lips were tightly pressed together, his face dark as he walked step by step towards Xiao Yu Ge. Xiao Yu Ge subconsciously took a step back, her heart skipped a beat. She thought to herself: What does this dog emperor want He drove everyone away, wasn't he afraid that she would assassinate him in a fit of rage
"Xiao Yu Ge, I now give you two choices. One, marry the Crown Prince and be a good Crown Princess. Two, I will bestow upon you the title of Consort. Think it over carefully before answering!"
"What" Xiao Yu Ge was shocked beyond words. She couldn't believe the Emperor would say such a thing, had he gone mad
"As the daughter of a noble family, you can only marry either the Crown Prince or the Emperor. This has been an unchangeable rule since the beginning of time. I've given you a chance, for this dynasty, I don't mind being called a tyrannical ruler!" The Emperor's attitude was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
"What if I don't want either" Xiao Yuge was curious to see what tricks this emperor had left up his sleeve.
"You are now the daughter of the Xiangfu again. If you defy the imperial decree, your entire Xiangfu will be buried with you! Are you willing to watch so many innocent people die with you" Seeing the anger in her eyes, a hint of triumph flashed in the Emperor's eyes.
"But I'm not the daughter of a minister's family at all!" Xiao Yuge hadn't expected that as an emperor, he could be so despicable and shameless.
"How the truth is, I don't care, but now everyone believes you are the daughter of the Prime Minister's residence. Therefore, if something happens to you, it will implicate the entire Prime Minister's residence!"
Xiao Yu Ge gritted her teeth and said, “Your Majesty, I have repaid the kindness of the Prime Minister’s family. How you deal with the Prime Minister’s family is none of my concern!” Although she spoke so forcefully, her heart was pounding in fear.
"Is that so" The Emperor's lips curled into a sinister smile. "Then you don't care about the lives of Mingzhu Mansion and Qian Ting Xuan either"
Xiao Yu's gaze turned cold, her fists clenched as she gritted her teeth: "Your Majesty, I have said it before, if you touch them, my..." Indeed, the dead scumbag's father was not a good person either.
“Xiao Yu Ge, I am the emperor! If you want me dead, I have to die! I want to see what you will do. What can you do” The emperor looked down at her with disdain. He wanted to see just how far this fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl would go.
“Your Majesty, you only know that this servant's medical skills are outstanding, but you don't know that this servant's poison skills are not inferior either. This servant's master was a divine doctor who was unmatched in both medicine and poison. I am his disciple, inheriting his mantle. You stand so close to me, if I were to poison you, it would be child's play! Who says that when a sovereign wants a subject dead, the subject must die This servant can also kill the sovereign!”
"You're outrageous! Do you dare to commit regicide Are you trying to rebel" The Emperor's face indeed changed drastically upon hearing this, and he instinctively took a step back from her.
"Your Majesty, I am but a woman. What could I possibly revolt against All I have ever desired is a peaceful and tranquil life, that is all! It was Your Majesty's every step that drove me to this corner!"killed, it's because someone wanted him dead. We were simply paid to do a job.""Could the esteemed Qingfeng Tower stoop to such a trade of taking money and alleviating misfortunes for others" Could it...
