Wei Zijin raised his eyes and met his gentle gaze, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and nodded slowly and solemnly.
Without too many sweet words, such a promise is enough!
"As for the Northern Wei envoy Gao Yang, Xiao Heng was a little wary of him. You should not get too close to him, so as not to arouse Xiao Heng's suspicion..." Xiao Jingyao suddenly remembered this and in deep voice reminded him.
Wei Zijin nodded and smiled, "I understand, so I politely rejected his gift today to avoid criticizing..."
Although Xiao Heng trusts Xiao Jingyao now, he is still a little afraid of the military power of the Wei family. If the news of her personal relationship with the Northern Wei envoys is very good, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble when it reaches Xiao Heng!
Some people with ulterior motives will take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and frame them for collusion with the ministers of the Northern Wei Dynasty!
Her father was framed back then, so how could she retake such an old path!
************
Yuxuan Palace.
Concubine Lu, who was drinking ginseng tea, had a pale face after hearing the news from the eunuch in her bedroom, and her hands shook suddenly, and the tea cup was smashed to the ground.
"What did you say? The emperor wants Yu Rao to marry him?" Concubine Lu suddenly stood up, stared at the eunuch who was coming to report, and asked sternly: "Have you found out clearly?"
"Greeting back to Empress, this news is absolutely true..." The eunuch was furious when he saw Concubine Lu, and hurriedly knelt at Concubine Lu's feet and replied respectfully: "I'm asking for information from the palace maids around the emperor, saying that the emperor
I had long wanted Princess Yong'an to marry her. I had been ruling away from the Northern Wei Dynasty before, but I was actually testing the sincerity of the Northern Wei Dynasty! Now the emperor is quite satisfied with the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so he does not intend to delay any further and let Princess Yong'an come out to meet on the fifteenth day
Northern Wei envoy!"
Concubine Lu shook her head in disbelief, because she was too shocked and her whole body was trembling.
"Impossible... I only have this daughter, and the emperor would not be so ruthless..."
Seeing Concubine Lu so angry, Cai Yan, the palace maid beside her, hurriedly supported her and whispered: "Empress, don't be anxious first..."
"How can I not be in a hurry?" Concubine Lu pounded the edge of the table hard, not conscious of the pain coming from her hands at all. She said with hatred: "I don't have a prince, the only thing I can rely on is Yu Rao, and I still hope for it in the future.
I want to marry Yu Rao to an important minister! Not to mention that the Northern Wei Dynasty was full of Xianbei people, Dayin and Northern Wei will start a war sooner or later. If Yu Rao marrys and waits for the two countries to go to war, how should she deal with it?"
Upon hearing this, Cai Yan also began to be a little anxious for Concubine Lu!
But she was not panicked, and was silent for a moment, and said, "Empress, the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty has not yet taken the princess away, so things have a turnaround. Perhaps the empress can persuade the emperor to change the candidate!"
"That's all!" Concubine Lu nodded, and did not dare to hesitate for a moment. She shook her sleeves and said in a deep voice: "Caiyan, accompany me to see the emperor. I will ask the emperor to take back his life no matter what!"
"Yes!" Cai Yan quickly put on a thick cloak for Concubine Lu, helped Concubine Lu leave Yuxuan Palace, and walked towards the emperor's bedroom.
The sky was getting darker, and Xiao Heng was having dinner with Han Xianger. The eunuch in charge, Chen Rong, walked to Xiao Heng and reported in a low voice: "Emperor, Imperial Concubine is asking for a meeting!"
