He raised his head in surprise and looked at the old man on the dragon bed. He took off his dragon robe. He was just an ordinary man. He was much older than he was twelve years ago, thinking of the omnipotent father he worshipped in his heart back then. When he saw Chu Ye's letter saying that his father was in poor health, he couldn't believe it.

That person will also be in poor health, and that person will also get old.

But now he is really sitting in front of him. He is indeed old and weak, not as good as before.

He heard his voice from above the dragon couch, and he said, "Li Zhao, you have a lot of thoughts today, but what's the matter?"

He quickly accepted the gods, and then said: "Report to the sage, the minister is indeed okay."

"Let me guess, but what about Miss Lu's family?"

When he said this, he had a smile on his face and looked approachable. But he held the power of life and death in his hand, and if he didn't agree, he would easily fall to the ground.

Chu Qing said: "Holy, it is indeed about the cousin."

He still smiled, "General Li Zhao, although I have loved the five princes a little too much, but they have not reached the point where they are right and wrong. Ye'er told me all the ins and outs of this matter, I feel This eldest lady of the Lu family should not only be punished, but also rewarded. Faced with such a sudden situation, she didn’t want to protect herself, but to save Ye’er. After the incident, she did not choose to conceal the matter. Instead, I asked for an imperial doctor for Ye'er. I think a woman with such wisdom and courage is a strange woman."

Chu Qing thought, it seemed that there was indeed misinformation in the outside world, so he said that even if the emperor father especially favored the fifth brother because of his eldest brother, it would not be impossible to distinguish between right and wrong. It seems that he has been worrying too much about the things before.

Since the father has a good impression of Lu Manman, he will ask him for an order now.

He said: "On behalf of my sister, the minister thanked Sheng Shang Longen. Chen today, there is one more thing."

"Say."

"The minister and cousin have been childhood sweethearts since they were young. The minister had promised in the early years that he would marry his cousin. As far as the minister knew, King Chuhuai didn't like his cousin, so he asked the sage to fulfill the minister and cousin."

He knelt on the ground. He heard his father come down from the dragon couch and walked in front of him step by step. He helped him up with his hands. Chu Qing did not expect that he would do this. After a little astonishment, he quickly replied. usual.

He only heard a voice coming from above his head, "General Li Zhao, before I answer your question, can you answer me a question?"

Just now they turned off the front, the question he had been asking just now has not been asked yet, and Chu Qing deliberately shifted the front of the story just now, because he didn't want to answer that question directly.

But now it seems that he is afraid that he will not be able to escape today. He said, "Please speak, please."

"General Li Zhao, you tell me one-by-one, are you on the road, have you been attacked? He has not been able to return, is it because he is injured?"

He thought he would ask this question, but he didn't expect him to ask it so directly and implicitly.

And if he chooses to ask this question before answering his question, there is a threat to him in it.

He must know something that even Father-in-Law Fuyuan knew, so there was no need for him to conceal certain aspects of this matter.

Chu Qing said: "Holy Lord, we were indeed attacked on the way back to the capital. King Qingtian was injured and cannot return to the capital for the time being."

He saw his body trembled slightly. Was he worried for him, or was he saddened by the killer's failure?

In his heart, he is more inclined to the former.

Without sufficient evidence, he would never believe that his loved ones would hurt him, even if he was about to forget how it was like that family relationship.

"Then is he... seriously injured?"

He even heard the tremor in his voice, he...should be worried for him!

Chu Qing said: "Return to the Lord, although King Qingtian was seriously injured, his life is not in danger at the moment."

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, but was still worried, "Where is he at this time?"

"The minister didn't know it. At that time, the minister only saw King Qingtian wounded, and the killer's pursuit did not end. King Qingtian's cronies covered him to leave. When the minister also got rid of the pursuit, they could no longer be contacted."

A heart was lifted again, "Then why do you say that he is not in danger of life."

"The minister saw the killer cut it down and it didn't hit the mark."

He took a few deep breaths, "Fine, do you know where the killer comes from?"

"The minister doesn't know."

After a long period of time, he returned to the dragon couch. He was just like him when Chu Qing first came in. It seemed that the words that made him no longer calm down were not from him at all.

He said lightly: "General Li Zhao, I can answer your question now. I can cancel the marriage contract between Miss Lu Jia and King Chu Huai, but I can't immediately promise that you will marry you. Unfortunately, just Yesterday, the fourth prince Chu Li also came to me. His purpose is the same as yours today."

The words of the sage surprised Chu Ye a little. Chu Li didn't seem to have a deep friendship with Lu Manman. He also asked his father to marry him, probably only for the support of the Lu family.

"Holy Lord, minister and cousin, childhood sweethearts since childhood."

"My childhood sweetheart is not good either. I have to think about this matter."

I want him to think about it, probably not because Chu Li also asked him for the imperial decree, but because she is the prostitute of the Lu family, and Li Zhao is the only son of the Li family.

The two big families of Lu and Li must not be married. If after the marriage, one has the right and the other has soldiers, it would be a threat to the royal family.

And he did not intend to give up on this, Chu Qing said again: "Holy, when the minister and cousin went to the outskirts of the capital to play, they encountered the last batch of assassins. The minister and cousin were forced to a cave. We already have In this life, the cousin can only marry the minister, and the minister has to marry the cousin. If the minister cannot marry the cousin, he will not marry her for life."

He listened quietly to what he said. Although there was not much change on the surface, the hands in the sleeves were actually clenched into fists. The military power of the Li family was too great, and the Lu family had been officials for generations, and the tree had deep roots. Originally, they had already been married once, but to avoid suspicion, Prime Minister Lu Xiaoran went far away from the Li family. If Li Zhao marries again with Miss Lu's family, even if Lu Xiaoran has no other ideas, the ministers will automatically stand at this special moment.

This time Li Zhao had a great victory. At the reception banquet that day, he asked Li Zhao what reward he wanted. At that time, he seemed to tell him through Jiujin that he wanted to be alone.

He thought that Li Zhao was not too young, so he could not agree with which girl he fell in love with and asked him to marry him. He was happy at the time and said: As long as the girl was not married, he agreed.

After asking him which girl he fell in love with, Li Zhao didn't say anything. He just said that he has not been able to get the girl's consent. If the girl agrees to marry him, he will come and ask the sage.

That day, the ministers who participated in the banquet heard the conversation between him and Li Zhao. Before Lu Manman had a marriage contract with Chu Huai, he never thought that Li Zhao would ask him to ask him to marry Lu Manman.

This Lu Manman has both ability and political integrity. He is the candidate for the future mother of the country, and the person she marries is the crown prince he is about to establish.

But she didn't respect and love herself, and had a close relationship with her cousin. She has not become the mother of the nation, but she cannot be married to Li Zhao either.

Li Zhao said that she would not marry him in his life.

He doesn't believe it anymore. If he doesn't marry, how can he withstand the pressure of all parties in the family.

Moreover, the so-called love will change, just like when he was young. He thought he was single-minded to Queen Renjia. He resisted pressure from all sides and made her a queen, and then sealed her son Chu Ran. As the prince, she loves her youngest son Chu Ye. But she didn't want to, she just married him for the benefit of the family.

The sage said solemnly: "Do you really dare not marry the Lu family eldest forever?"

His voice was firm, "Yes."

Chu Qing thought, if Li Zhao is really here, his answer should be the same as his answer.

"Well, if you have true feelings for that Miss Lu, I promise you that she will not be betrothed to others, but not to you. Let me see your sincerity. You can be responsible for this sentence today. how long."

Chu Qing knew in his heart that this was the biggest concession made by his father to this matter. With the current political turmoil, he would never allow the Lu family and the Li family to marry again.

But today he didn't get nothing, at least his father promised him not to betroth Lu Manman to others.

As long as she does not marry and Li Zhao does not marry, there will always be this method.

As long as he let his father know that even if the Lu family and the Li family marry, the Lu and Li families will not pose a threat to the royal family, then their marriage will be completed.

Chu Qing said: "Holy, the minister is responsible for this sentence during his lifetime. The minister believes that his cousin thinks this way."

"Finally, General Li Zhao, you can withdraw now!"

"Chen, retire."

Chu Qing walked away quickly, he withdrew from the Longyin Palace and closed the door of Vermillion. That empty big room, that high position, that supreme person, seemed a bit lonely at this time.

Father-in-law Fuyuan walked in front of Chu Qing, and he said to Chu Qing: "General, the old slave will send you out of the palace!"

"Father-in-law, don't bother."

"General, the old slave has a few words to say to the general."

"Father-in-law, please speak."

"Since the general and King Qingtian were assassinated, the saint has always been unable to sleep well during this period of time. The feelings of the saint towards the king are not as shown by the saint. If the general knows the whereabouts of the king, please inform the saint! "

Fuyuan said that his father's feelings for him are different from what he has shown. He is not sure what this difference means, but he is clear that his identity cannot be revealed until the matter is clear.

Chu Qing said: "Father-in-law, I told the Already Saint that King Qingtian is indeed ready to come back to the capital with me, but we were attacked halfway. King Qingtian was injured and taken away by his cronies. He and I have already lost Contacted for more than a month."

With a thoughtful appearance, Fuyuan said: "General, Fuyuan is bothering you."

"If it's okay, then I will go back. Today, my mother is going back to the general's mansion. I haven't seen my mother for two years, and I'm going back to meet her."

"General Li Zhao is both filial and righteous, and you will say hello to the old general's wife for me."

"good."
