"Your Majesty, my son Li Yindi accidentally bumped into Your Majesty yesterday at the Peacock Palace. Please forgive me."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, when my son and Princess Xile succeed in the Qin and Jin Dynasties in the future, they will definitely stay safe and abide by themselves, and will not insult the majesty of the royal family."
Li Dajuan said to Wu Yuan with a flattering look.
Wu Yuan looked at the father and son with a half-smile but not a smile. Up to now, the two of them were still daydreaming.
However, it was time to wake up from this daydream. Wu Yuan said with a playful expression: "Oh, what happened yesterday, it doesn't matter. Those who don't know are not guilty."
As expected, receiving Wu Yuan's forgiveness also made the Li family father and son overjoyed.
But then Wu Yuan changed the topic, "But Princess Xile is now the Peacock King. Her marriage should be decided by the Supreme Emperor. However, the Supreme Emperor no longer cares about political affairs, so I will be responsible for Xile's marriage."
When the Li family father and son heard what Wu Yuan said, they thought that Wu Yuan was going to solemnize their marriage in person.
His face suddenly lit up with joy, and Li Dajuan even said: "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. I will be of service to Your Majesty in the future."
Wu Yuan smiled, "No need to be polite, as long as you can understand my painstaking efforts, so I don't agree with your son's marriage to Xile!"
"What?!" The smiles on the faces of the Li family and his son suddenly froze.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, are you kidding me? My father and my son can't stand such a joke." Li Dazhuo's smile was so forced that it was even difficult to breathe due to being too nervous and scared.
Murong Haitang and Yan Miao, who were behind, cast sympathetic glances at the Li family and his son.
The Li family was deceived by Xile and Wu Yuan.
The IOU of fifteen million taels of gold was enough to bankrupt the Li family.
Wu Yuan's expression has turned cold, "I never joke with others, or are you dissatisfied with my words?"
The smell of blood in the air has not yet dissipated. At this time, Wu Yuan's indifference and majesty made the Li family tremble.
Both of them knew in their hearts that if they dared to express dissatisfaction at this time, they might have to go to the Chang family to keep company.
But this is a sure thing, how can you change your mind just because it changes?
Li Dazhuang knew that his son was the guarantor for the fifteen million taels of gold loan. Although when he first heard about this, Li Dazhuang was too reckless.
But when I thought about it, Li Yndi was already the consort of the Peacock Palace, and I felt relieved.
But now, telling him that this matter is dirty will cost the lives of the Li family, right?
Although he was afraid of Wu Yuan, he would die no matter what, so Li Dazhi had the courage to plead with Wu Yuan: "Your Majesty, this is the result of Princess Xile's public selection of a son-in-law yesterday. You can't just reject it outright."
"If you do this, you will kill my Li family."
Li Dayuan was really anxious, and the others were also looking at him in stunned silence.
The Li family and his son were so proud just now, but now they are so embarrassed.
Especially those who participated in the incident at the Maurya Palace yesterday could not help but sigh.
If the Li family cannot make the new emperor change his mind, it will really be over.
Wu Yuan looked at Li Dazhi condescendingly and said: "Xile has been willful for more than a day or two. Don't you know?"
"Furthermore, I will definitely issue a notice for the public selection of a son-in-law, and all the heroes in the world can participate. How can it be such a child's play, with only your family in the capital?"
Wu Yuan's words are also reasonable and well-founded.
Isn't it? If you think back carefully, Xile's behavior is indeed a bit childish.
And they should have thought about it at the time, but at that time they were all thinking about competing for the position of Prince Consort, so they didn't think about it that much at all.
Li Dajuan's face turned pale. He knew that this matter was just a matter of Wu Yuan's words, and everything else was just an excuse.
But this excuse is impossible to refute.
Just when Li Dajuan looked pale and broke out in a cold sweat and didn't know what to do, Li Yindi suddenly couldn't control himself and shouted: "Since His Majesty thought it was child's play at the time, why did you get involved? Why didn't you step in to stop it?"
"Your Majesty, are you playing with me like a monkey?"
Li Dazhen was shocked, how dare he contradict the new emperor like this?
But after hearing Li Yindi's words, he also became energetic and hurriedly echoed: "Your Majesty, I have been in love with Princess Xile for a long time, so I can't control my feelings at the moment. Please forgive me, but what I said is not unreasonable.
Your Majesty, since you were present at the time, why not only did you not stop it, but you also followed it?"
The others also looked at each other, praising the loophole well.
In fact, when we got here, everyone already had some guesses in their minds.
It is very possible that this is a trick that Xile and Wu Yuan set up for these wealthy families in the capital, with the purpose of cheating money.
However, the Li family became the most unlucky scapegoats.
Although they were greatly indignant at Wu Yuan and Xile's behavior, the matter had nothing to do with them, and they did not want to conflict with Wu Yuan because of this.
But I also wanted to see how Wu Yuan would explain.
But who would have thought that Wu Yuan, who thought he would be troubled by the new emperor's question, said with a smile: "I am different from you. What I want is just Ouyang Shishi. If it weren't for Ouyang Shishi at that time,
Shi will also choose a son-in-law, and of course I will stop yesterday's farce in time."
When Ouyang Shishi saw Wu Yuan using herself as a shield, she was speechless. How could this man be so bad?
Ouyang Shu also glanced at Wu Yuan with dissatisfaction, but due to Wu Yuan's status as the new emperor, it was difficult to say anything.
Others also had mixed emotions when they heard Wu Yuan's explanation.
Now, Wu Yuan has become the biggest winner. Not only did he trick them into getting fifteen million taels of gold, but he also got the beauty back.
The Li family father and son also secretly resented it, and their teeth started to itch.
"Your Majesty, you can't do this. Our Li family can't bear it." Li Dazhi knew that there was nothing he could do, so he could only continue to plead.
Wu Yuan just watched indifferently, not even bothering to talk nonsense to the Li family and his son.
Li Daju couldn't stand by and watch the Li family take such a big blame, so when Wu Yuan didn't say a word, he took the risk.
"Your Majesty, it's okay if you don't recognize this marriage. Since the marriage is not established, it is impossible for my Li family to be the guarantor for Princess Xile. Those IOUs have nothing to do with my Li family."
Li Daju knew that these words would definitely offend the new emperor.
But now, if he doesn't say this, his Li family will be completely destroyed.
The others also cheered up. This was related to who they wanted to get their money from, so they looked straight at Wu Yuan, waiting for Wu Yuan's answer.
Wu Yuan just said lightly, "I only care about Xile's marriage, what do other things have to do with me?"
