27, marriage
In the imperial study, Cheng Yuanjia sat aside and watched the emperor's face turn into a palette.
A woman in blue appeared out of thin air, half knelt down respectfully and said, "Lord, I caught a few small fleas below."
Cheng Yuanjia hummed and looked up at the empty space in the middle of the study. The woman in blue immediately waved her hand and saw five or six more old ways in the space. They were all blue and blue, and all of them were out of breath.
"Qier, you go back and continue to retreat first. It's enough to have Nan Li on Dunwang's side. At present, there will be no blind guy who will trouble him." Cheng Yuanjia thought for a moment and said, "By the way, help me sort out the Ting-shaped warehouse. I need something that can create a gorgeous atmosphere, which can be used for a big wedding."
After the woman in blue still saluted respectfully, she turned around and disappeared.
Looking at these people who were thrown on the ground, the emperor's face turned completely pale. At the same time, he felt unprecedented fear. No matter which dynasty or emperor is in charge, these offerings in the courtyard are their last trump cards. In the eyes of the emperors of all dynasties, these waving hands can emit flames, and the immortals who can float away from the ground are omnipotent. But now, Cheng Yuanjia threw their ears fiercely, such as masters and guardian gods, and was thrown into a pile of garbage by others.
Cheng Yuanjia didn't even look at the emperor. He didn't know where to find a teacup, drank tea leisurely, and whispered, "Now you have also seen that these people are just slightly stronger ants for me. One finger can be strangled to death. Do you still want to continue your thoughts now?"
"My son is mine, and I gave him the throne. I can take it back if I want to." The emperor carried forward the spirit of the dead duck.
The teacup in Cheng Yuanjia's hand suddenly turned into powder, and his eyes were also very dangerous.
The emperor's heart was tense for no reason, but he thought that if she wanted to kill herself, she would have done it long ago. Now she is still sitting here and talking to him. There must be a reason why she can't kill him, and he has a little confidence in his heart.
"You're forcing me to do it." Cheng Yuanjia stood up and stared at the emperor and said, "Originally, we practitioners try not to be contaminated with the cause and effect of the world. You are the emperor, and you account for the most cause and effect. If it is not necessary, the practitioners will not kill the emperor. But this is just a normal situation. If it push me, I never care about cause and effect. And I'm not afraid of any cause and effect now. Not to mention that you are just an emperor, I just destroy the royal family, which has no impact on me.
The emperor's face has turned black to the bottom of the pot. In the face of a person who can strangle himself by stretching out his fingers, but he is completely incapable of resisting, everything he relies on has become a laughing stock. Cheng Yuanjia never attacked him, because she wanted to marry the person she loved justly, instead of fearing his power. In the past four years, he has been thinking about her as his own, which is just an ugly joke in her opinion. She is conceited and proud. She wants to fulfill her wishes in a secular way without her special ability, but it doesn't mean that she can be slaughtered by others.
"If I give you a marriage now, can you let me go?" The emperor finally recognized the truth and had no choice but to compromise.
"Yes, I can let you live for a few more years. As for how long you can live, it depends on your life." Cheng Yuanjia raised her eyebrows slightly and said coldly, "But the death penalty is inevitable. You have to pay the price for what you have done today."
"What's the price?"
"Your health, from today on, your body will no longer be so disease-free. No matter how long you live, you should be accompanied by the medicine jar. Don't think that you can recover. Even if I tie all the famous doctors all over the world together, I can't let you recover. If you make me feel comfortable, I will make you feel better. If you still want anything else, just wait for your young death. Cheng Yuanjia had no tortuous voice and ruthlessly put the emperor into hell.
I haven't read the life and death book, and Cheng Yuanjia doesn't know how much longevity the emperor has. Judging from his current physical condition, he can live for at least more than ten years, but she doesn't want him to live so comfortably. Therefore, using spells to make him linger in his sickbed, which can definitely speed up the passage of his life and let him give way as soon as possible.
If it hadn't been for the fact that the power in the hands of King Dun was not strong now, she would have wished to strang the emperor to death now.
The emperor stared at Cheng Yuanjia for a few times and saw that she had no intention of accommodation at all. He came to her side with his fate, took away the first volume of imperial edict, spread it on the imperial case, and began to write the edict of marriage.
Cheng Yuanjia's meaning is very clear, which makes her happy, and he can live comfortably. And the way to make her happy is to do whatever she wants. If she wants to marry the king of Dun, he must give the imperial edict.
Write the imperial edict and cover the national seal, and the emperor's eyes are already devastated.
Cheng Yuanjia left happily. Before leaving, she did not forget to give the emperor a small spell, so that he could not leak any information about himself.
In the afternoon, the news of Xue Xiurong's violent death due to illness came from Zongzheng Temple. When King Dun arrived at Zongzheng Temple, it happened that the King of Qi was also there. After confirming the cause of death of Xue Xiurong, which was forged by Cheng Yuanjia, the king of Qi quickly arranged the rest of the matters. However, he did not believe that King Dun's biological mother would die like this, because as his own son, although King Dun looked gloomy, he was not sad. Knowing that the king of Dun is like the king of Qi, he naturally knows that this brother's temperament is affectionate. If his biological mother really dies, he will definitely be heartbroken, instead of being as unhappy as he is now.
Finally, under the use of his intimidation, King Dun opened his mouth and told him the truth: "My mother is not dead. She just left and will never come back. This body is a cheating stand-in for her."
Even if the king of Qi doesn't understand the real reason, he knows that it is best to solve this matter in this way. His only worry is whether the death of his brother's mother will affect his marriage with Cheng Yuanjia.
The death of Xue Xiurong made Xiao Xianfei relieved. Since King Dun was sent to Xiao Xianfei's knees and raised by her, she has given the same maternal love to this child who is not her own, and does not object to the king of Qi's way of sending King Dun to the throne. But since Xue Cainu was sealed for her appearance, her heart is inevitably a little creepy. If the king of Tiandun succeeds to the throne, is she the empress dowager or the imperial concubine? If Xue Xiurong is the empress dowager, then her efforts over the years will not be too bad. Now that Xue Xiurong is dead, her only entanglement is gone. Although she feels a little sorry for her adopted son, the comfort in her heart is inevitable.
The King of Qi's worries dissipated the next day, because the emperor's marriage decree had reached the Cheng family. Although Cheng Yuanjia does not live in Cheng's house all year round, at least her surname is Cheng, which is the direct daughter of the Cheng family. The decree of marriage can only be read in Cheng's house.
Under the imperial edict, several families are happy and several are worried. The happiest is the Empress Dowager and Prince Qian. Without saying a word, the empress dowager directly threw Cheng Yuanjia into her small warehouse and asked her to pick and take whatever she wanted. The Empress Dowager has lived in the palace for half her life, and the things in her collection are not bad. Even if Cheng Yuanjia never cares about these things outside her body, she is dazzled by the collection in the small warehouse.
Of course, Prince Qian will not be stingy. He said frankly that he would give a hundred dowry to his granddaughter.
A clear-eyed person can see that although King Dun now has no position and no real power, he is the most powerful successor to the throne. What if the king of Wu has military achievements and military power? The power in Beijing is weak. If he wants to be emperor, he can only take the throne. But how can the soldiers in his hand be compared with Prince Qian? When he came from the border all the way, he would have been pinched to death by the old prince. The king of Qi was originally the most likely to win the throne, but he just didn't want this son. He just wanted to pave the way for his favorite brother. If the emperor made him the crown prince, he would definitely write an imperial edict at the first time, and then continue to be his prince. As for the fifth prince, there is some power in the court, but it is far worse than the king of Qi, and his personal ability is not as good.
If the king of Dun does not marry Cheng Yuanjia, it is really hard to say who will die in the end. Now it is clear that with the support of Prince Qian, the support of the empress dowager and the support of the Cheng family, even if the king of Dun is low-key, he can't keep a low profile now.
As for Cheng Yuanjia's dowry, she really didn't worry about this matter, but began to worry about the bride price of King Dun.
After giving the imperial edict of marriage, the king of Qi began to be busy. Although it was a gift of marriage, the six gifts were indispensable. Moreover, the king of Qi was anxious that he finally married Cheng Yuanjia into his younger brother's door, but he must not have any moths.
Fortunately, he is in charge of Zongzheng Mansion, and the prince's marriage is also from Zongzheng Mansion. He can also control some situations.
Na Cai, the Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple and the servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies came to Chengfu to propose marriage in person. Originally, it would have been better for the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies to come forward, but Xiang Hui, the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies, was the uncle of the deposed prince. The king of Qi did not like him, so he was appointed by Wei Fangting, the second son of Cheng Yuanjia's uncle, Prince Qian.
