Prime Minister Dong E was also in the palace, and Qi Xingchen felt an ominous feeling in his heart. Dong E was the chess piece used by Qi Shuihan to hold Qi Xingchen's power. This old guy had a cunning look on his face, and his compliments were superb, which won Qi Shuihan's heart.
"Xingchen doesn't need to be polite." Although Qi Shuihan's face was cold, his tone was quite calm.
"My lord, congratulations." Dong E smiled at Qi Xingchen with a cunning smile.
Qi Xingchen didn't understand the reason and was too lazy to pay attention to Dong E. He said to Qi Shuihan: "I made a big mistake this time. The whereabouts of Jiao Yue are unknown. I will try my best to make amends and bring Jiao Yue to justice."
Qi Shuihan waved his hand slightly and said with a cold look: "That's all, this matter is all about that woman named Xiling Huaying. She acted boldly and without the king's laws. I will definitely deal with it severely!"
"..." Qi Shuihan won't touch Qi Xingchen for the time being, so he can only use Hua Ying to operate, or in other words, use Hua Ying to intimidate him.
"Xingchen, I will handle this matter personally, so please stop interfering! I know that you have some friendship with Xiling Huaying, and all future matters will be left to Prime Minister Dong, lest anyone say that you are bending the law for personal gain." Qi Shuihan said in a tone of voice.
No room for rejection.
If Huaying falls into Dong E's hands, it must be in danger. Qi Xingchen's eyes darken. He cannot directly conflict with Qi Shuihan. How can he save Huaying?
"Okay, this matter cannot be discussed further. Xingchen, there is a happy event in calling you here this time." Qi Shuihan said.
Happy event? No wonder Dong E said congratulations as soon as Qi Xingchen arrived.
"Prime Minister Dong's daughter is named Rong. She is eighteen years old. She is gentle and lovely, and her beauty is unparalleled. I feel that this girl and you, Xingchen, are a perfect match, so I have given you two a hand in marriage, and you will choose a day to get married." Qi Shuihan said loudly.
The smile on Dong E's face grew wider. He was also the one who suggested Qi Shuihan's plan. Since Qi Xingchen had been refusing to marry, he should directly issue the order. If Qi Xingchen didn't agree, it would be disrespectful to resist the order.
Before Qi Xingchen could speak, Qi Shuihan said coldly: "Xingchen should have had a gentle and gentle woman to take care of her. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so ungrateful when dealing with the bright moon."
Qi Shuihan's tone concealed a threat. Qi Xingchen released the bright moon secretly. Qi Shuihan was not punished for the time being, but only pinned the crime on Xiling Huaying. If Qi Xingchen dared to resist the decree and not marry, then he would be guilty of both crimes.
punishment.
"..." Qi Xingchen frowned slightly and said nothing.
"Being able to marry the prince is a blessing earned by my family, Rong'er, from his previous life." Dong E's face rounded with a smile, and he knelt on the ground and shouted his thanks. He turned around and looked at Qi Xingchen with a dull expression on his face. Seeing the situation, he reminded Qi Xingchen and said,
"My lord, thank you."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for not marrying Miss Dong." Qi Xingchen said calmly.
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked. Qi Xingchen actually openly ignored Qi Shuihan's order?
Dong E's mouth opened wide, and Qi Shuihan's eyes froze: "What did you say?"
"Jacaranda of Xiling, she is already my woman. I promise that I will never marry anyone but you." Qi Xingchen said in a decisive tone.
The atmosphere in the audience became even more mysterious this time. Dong E's expression froze, and he looked at Qi Xingchen stupidly, and then looked at Qi Shuihan with an aggrieved look, as if he was begging the king to make the decision.
I pray that Xingchen has a noble status. Xiling Huahua has no background and is just a commoner girl. How can she be qualified to be Prince Chen's concubine based on her superiority and inferiority?
Qi Shuihan didn't speak. The huge hall was extremely quiet. Everyone was even breathing carefully. Qi Xingchen was stared at by Qi Shuihan's eyes. This kind of fixed gaze was chilling.
