Xuanyuan Zhi frowned. This year's winter was especially cold, and the winter clothes he prepared at the beginning might not be able to withstand the extreme cold of the north. No matter what, he could not let the soldiers be frozen.

"When royal father passed away, he left thirty thousand soldiers for this king. It was because of these people that he was able to return alive last time at Left wing camp of the northern region. And because of this army, royal brother didn't dare to touch me in public. "

Xuanyuan Zhi's words carried a trace of vicissitudes of life, "In this life of mine, I only have one wish, which is to ensure the peace of Tian Qiong."

Yet, Chu Qingyao could see the loneliness in his heart from his strong appearance. This man had endured too much. Her heart softened. "If the prince needs silver, I have it."

Xuanyuan Zhi looked over, "What if I can't pay?"

Also?

In that instant, she really didn't want him to return the favor. She joked, "If you can't pay back the money, just write it down. In the future, you can even pay back the interest."

In the evening, Ling Mo woke up. When the sky turned dark, Xuanyuan Zhi brought Chu Qingyao over. After a thorough examination, he found that he had recovered well and had no symptoms of inflammation. He left some medicine for someone to take on time.

"What is going on?" Xuanyuan Zhi stared at Ling Mo.

Ling Mo looked at Chu Qingyao, wanting to say something but hesitating to speak. "Speak." Xuanyuan Zhi had a face full of displeasure.

"I'm about to die, and you're still shouting?" Ling Mo was so angry that he just snorted, his body was in extreme pain.

"I contacted the other winter clothing makers and have already agreed on their prices. Not long after I came out, I felt someone following me. At first, those people did not seem to want to kill me. But suddenly, a person rushed out from the side, and the moment he came up, he waved his hand towards those people and started running. While I was still in a daze, those people rushed over like they were crazy, surrounded me and started to chop at me. "

Ling Mo felt extremely unlucky, as he had been dragged into this mess.

"What kind of powder is it?" Chu Qingyao interrupted.

Ling Mo thought about it, it should be something very corrosive, I saw that their faces are all rotten.

"Have you found out who was following me?"

"The Emperor's men."

Ling Mo's face paled, and he knew that he was too careless. The Emperor knew that the Prince had a dark army in his possession, so he never gave up on investigating.

"You recuperate. You don't need to worry about anything else." Xuanyuan Zhi brought Chu Qingyao and left.

The Palace.

The emperor questioned the guards on the ground. "Did the person who followed them yesterday die?"

"Your majesty, that person was stabbed so many times that he definitely won't be able to live."

"Bastard, who allowed you to do this? You bunch of trash, we are still counting on you to take roasting king from this person and see what you all have done. " The emperor was so angry that he threw his inkstone at the guard's head. The guard's face was covered in blood, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

"Investigate, continue to investigate for us. We must completely uproot and uproot roasting king."

The guard slightly hesitated. "Your majesty, a man rushed out yesterday to use poison. That poison is very tyrannical. Quite a few guards have died already."

"Send someone to tell this to medical Sect."

Her Majesty came before the guards had left. The emperor's anger still hadn't subsided as he said to him, "Still not getting out?"

The imperial bodyguards scrambled off. The empress dowager didn't know why the emperor was so angry, but she walked forward with concern. "Emperor, what's making you so angry?"

"Muhou, why are you here?"

"If mother does not come, are you prepared to give Yuwen Tianxiang to roasting king?" The empress dowager's face didn't look too good. "Emperor, the power behind Yuwen Tianxiang is the entire Falcon Kingdom. Only by putting such a woman by your side can the Wailing Home feel at ease."

The Emperor frowned, "Let's not talk about Yuwen Tianxiang first, how do you plan to reply Yuwen Jingrui to his mother?"

"Xi Wei doesn't want to marry, and Wailing Home doesn't agree to let her suffer. What does the Emperor mean? "

"I'll think about it." The Emperor looked worried. Yuwen Jingrui had already mentioned about marrying Xi Wei twice. Xi Wei was a disgrace to the Imperial Family in the past, even though the Prince Zhi's Concubine had treated her well, she would always remember the matter of the Grand Preceptor's estate annulling the engagement with her.

The empress dowager wanted to leave, but stopped after two steps. "Emperor, the Wailing Home cannot leave Xi Wei."

The Emperor knew that his mother was saying that she didn't agree with Xi Wei marrying into another family. He said helplessly, "I understand."

The empress dowager glanced at him a few times. "Emperor, after Wailing Home found out that Imperial Consort Bai became the empress, you seemed to alienate her quite a bit."

"I've been rather busy recently." The empress dowager did not say a word and returned to the Changle Palace with the support of the palace maids.

After the Emperor finished with the memorial, he went to Blue Hall. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard the crown prince's voice. His face turned cold. Was the crown prince trying to snatch a woman from him by force?

He purposely coughed at the door, and the crown prince hurriedly came out to welcome him. "This son greets Imperial Father."

"Is the crown prince alright today?"

The Crown Prince's face froze, "This son is just here to take a look at royal sister."

The Emperor paused at his side, then said with a hint of hesitation, "After you've finished reading, let's go! It's best not to think about things you shouldn't think about. "

The crown prince knew that the emperor was warning him and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He trembled with fear as he said, "This son understands. This son will take his leave now."

"Yuwen Tianxiang greets the emperor."

The emperor sized her up and pulled her up, "Princess Tian Xiang, are you used to living in Tian Qiong?"

Naturally, he wasn't used to it.

But Yuwen Tianxiang did not dare say.

"Thank you for the emperor's concern. Tian Xiang feels very used to it."

Yuwen Tianxiang's hand was being pulled by him, his entire body was uncomfortable, after a few tries, he finally pulled it back. The Emperor didn't care and went straight to the point. "Princess Tian Xiang, I want you to accompany me to the palace. Are you willing?"

He was the ruler of a country, so he didn't need to beat around the bush to find out what kind of woman he wanted. Even if the other party was a princess of a country, it wasn't worth it for him to spend so much effort on it.

Yuwen Tianxiang's face turned pale white, this wasn't the result she wanted. She suggested marriage only for the roasting king.

"Your majesty, Tian Xiang is not worthy of you." She answered cautiously.

"Then who are you worthy of? roasting king? " The Emperor said coldly.

"That's not it, I truly like the roasting king. Please grant me that wish, your majesty." Yuwen Tianxiang's face was anxious. If she did not pass the trial of the Tian Qiong, even if the roasting king agreed to marry her, she would not be able to do so.

"I'm telling you that in Tian Qiong, I'm the emperor. If I want the roasting king to give birth to him, he'll live. If I want him to die, he'll die." He suddenly took a step forward and pinched Yuwen Tianxiang's chin, "This Emperor wants to take you as his concubine, you decide."

Before Yuwen Tianxiang could react, he had already sat back down.

"Why are you forcing me to do this?" "It's only good for your Tian Qiong to have a marriage alliance with him."

"Benefits?" We have only seen harm, and we have also seen how the roasting king will use the power you brought him to take down our mountain, Yuwen Tianxiang, do you think we can allow that to happen? "

Yuwen Tianxiang was stunned on the spot. She had only liked the roasting king single-mindedly, how could she have thought of such a thing?

The Emperor coldly snorted. "I will inform your imperial brother that the marriage alliance between the two kingdoms will be annulled just like this." If he can't get it, no one else can.

Yuwen Tianxiang's heart sank. She could not go back, she did not want to marry to the Great Clan Elder.

She hesitated for a moment before clenching her teeth and saying, "If I say that I am willing to become your pawn, under the condition that you marry me to the Prince Zhi's Mansion?"

The emperor had a smile on his face, but it was frighteningly cold. "Then I'll grant you that wish."

Ling Mo's injuries had already stabilized, he did not need Chu Qingyao to go over again. These few days, Xuanyuan Zhi would visit Chu Qingyao whenever he had the time. Sometimes, he would come in and leave without saying a word. Chu Qingyao was already used to it, she would do what she had to!

Today, when he came in, Chu Qingyao didn't mind. He suddenly said, "Chu Qingyao, did you not see me come?"

Absorb!

Chu Qingyao put down the book in her hands, "Is there something wrong with the Prince?"

"Follow This King into the palace."

The two of them got into the carriage. Chu Qingyao saw snow falling outside, so she couldn't help but ask, "Is Dong Yi ready?"

"The emperor is too strict. We can only purchase from other places and transport them over in batches." Xuanyuan Zhi's expression was solemn. With the heavy snow, even if the carriage reached the far north, it would still be the New Year.

"Why didn't you find someone to sew it up in the far north? The cloth and cotton that are needed can be shipped over in the last quarter, it's extremely cold in the north, and there's someone there who can buy a lot of these things, even the Emperor wouldn't care. "

"You're quite smart." Xuanyuan Zhi pulled her red hands, "Is it cold?"

"Yes." "A little." They left in such a hurry that Chu Qingyao forgot to bring the stove to warm her hands. Xuanyuan Zhi held her hand and placed it on his lips, gently blowing on the hot air. One blow after another, Chu Qingyao felt as if grass had grown on her heart. She felt itchy and her body was growing weaker and weaker.

Suddenly, the tip of his tongue lightly licked her soft fingers. Although it was just a sweep, her body trembled and her mind became blank.

"Alright." He let go and asked deliberately, "Why is your face so red?"

Chu Qingyao was upset, he had definitely done it on purpose. He reached out to take her in his arms, allowing her to lean against him. "Chu Qingyao, don't forget your bet with the Emperor."

Did she make a bet with the Emperor? How could she not remember?

Seeing her confused face, Xuanyuan Zhi kindly reminded her, but her voice carried a trace of anger. "You promised the emperor you'd treat this king's illness, and said you'd give birth to two children at a time."

This time, Chu Qingyao's face was completely red. Her entire body felt like it was on fire. It took a long time before she could find her own voice, "Prince, those are all words of anger. They can't be true."

"Then This King will wait for the day you are beheaded." Xuanyuan Zhi was obviously angry. Could it be that this woman was still thinking about the Marquis of Zi Yi?

So ruthless? Chu Qingyao shrunk her neck. How could she have forgotten about that? It was all her fault for trying to be brave. What should she do now? However, she just couldn't bear to see the Emperor humiliate him. No one could bully her man.

The moment this thought popped into her mind, she once again had a self-deprecating look on her face. Since ancient times, she had always felt empty-handed hatred, so she didn't have to worry about it.

In the empress dowager's palace, the crown prince, Yuwen Jingrui, was present.

After the two sat down, the emperor spoke first, "royal brother, the Crown Prince has brought Princess Tian Xiang here to arrange a marriage, I wonder what you think?"

"Since royal brother agrees, Chendi naturally has no objections."

Princess Tian Xiang was overjoyed. He was so excited that he was barely able to hold his hands anymore. The crown prince's face was ashen, he didn't know why royal father would suddenly change his mind and agree to Yuwen Tianxiang marrying roasting king. The empress was shocked as well. This was far beyond her expectations.

"Since roasting king has no objections, then I shall make the decision to let Princess Tian Xiang marry you as his concubine. I hope that you can treat her well."

Xuanyuan Zhi's face sank, "Chendi doesn't have any good feelings towards Princess Tian Xiang, so I won't marry him."

The emperor was infuriated. "roasting king, you want to disobey the decree?"
