Chapter 767 - crowning
The Empress Dowager was shocked.
“Yuan ‘er, what’s wrong?”
“Mother, you colluded with Imperial brother to lie to me, right?”
“What did I do to lie to you?” the Empress Dowager was confused.
“At dawn this morning, a eunuch from the palace went to the an Prince’s residence to pick someone up and said that you were sick. He brought Yu ‘er into the palace to treat you, but now Yu’ er is gone, and you are here eating breakfast. It was you and my brother who teamed up to lie to Yu ‘er. Yu’ er must be in the hands of the Crown Prince of Nanzhao, Zhuge Jin. ”
“Is it like this?”
In the end, Xiao Jiuyuan’s heart turned cold.
Seeing him like this, the Empress Dowager’s heart naturally ached. At the same time, she was also very angry.
“Yuan ‘er, I didn’t do such a thing.”
In the morning, the Empress had run over to tell her that there were many flowers in the Imperial garden and invited her to walk around the garden.
The Empress had never been on good terms with her. Today, she gave her a rare smile, so she gave her face and went to the garden with her.
He didn’t expect that the Emperor and Empress had set up such a trap behind the scenes.
Not only Xiao Jiuyuan, but the Empress Dowager was also furious.
“This damned thing, I thought she was really filial to me, that’s why she accompanied me to see the flowers. It turns out that she set a trap for this widow.”
The Empress Dowager looked at Xiao Jiuyuan and said,”
“This widow did not know about this at all. In the morning, the Empress came to this widow and said that there were many flowers in the Imperial garden and they were very beautiful. She invited this widow to go to the Imperial garden to see the flowers. You also know that my relationship with your Imperial sister-in-law is not good. I am old and I don’t want to have a bad relationship with her, so I went to the Imperial garden with her to see the flowers.”
“I didn’t expect something like this to happen. I didn’t even know that Princess Ling Yi had entered the palace.”
After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, Xiao Jiuyuan looked at the Empress Dowager and said,””Mother did not lie to your son.”
“Why Would I Lie to You?”
“If I know about this, I will definitely stop your brother,” the Empress Dowager said firmly.
As soon as the Empress Dowager finished speaking, Xiao Jiuyuan turned around and walked out.
“Yuan ‘er, where are you going?” the Empress Dowager got up hurriedly and shouted.
“I’m going to find the Emperor. Did the Crown Prince of Nan Zhao, Zhuge Jin, take Yu ‘er away? I’m going to get her back. I won’t let the Crown Prince of Nan Zhao take her back.”
If he really allowed Crown Prince Nanzhao to bring her back, it would be much more troublesome for him to bring her back.
Before Xiao Jiuyuan could leave the hall, someone stopped him outside the door.
It was the Emperor.
The Emperor looked at Xiao Jiuyuan with a gloomy face and said,””You want to see me.”
When Xiao Jiuyuan saw the Emperor, a violent aura surged out of his body, and his eyes became even colder. He gritted his teeth and looked at the Emperor,””Did you collude with Crown Prince Nanzhao to set this up? is Yu ‘er in his hands now?”
The Emperor didn’t deny this and agreed in a low voice.
“That’s right. Crown Prince Nan Zhao and I set this up together. I told you before that I plan to let Princess Ling Yi marry Crown Prince Nan Zhao and have a marriage alliance between the two countries.”
“I am the Emperor. I naturally have to think about the big picture. You are Dongli’s Prince and a Prince who is deeply respected by my father. I hope you can also think about the big picture.”
After hearing the emperor’s words, Xiao Jiuyuan raised his head and roared.
He then looked at the old Emperor with bloodshot eyes and shouted coldly.
“Shut up! Don’t you dare say that. Do you think this King is an idiot? You’re just guarding against me and don’t want me to be closely connected to the an Prince’s residence. You’re willing to let Princess Ling Yi marry the Crown Prince of Nan Zhao to guard against your own brother. You’re really my good brother. ”
