Wu Ronling didn't know how he returned to the house. He only knew that when he came to his senses, there were many people standing in the house.

"Father, are you okay?"

Wu Yu's eyes were full of worry. He was originally going to leave the house, but he met his father at the door of the house, looking lost.

He called his father, but received no reply, so he turned back and followed his father into the study.

After the Duke of Zhenguo heard the news, her daughter happened to be in the room, so she came with her.

"Mr. Guo, what happened?" Mrs. Zhen Guo saw his troubled face and said, "If something really happens, don't hide it. Tell us and we will solve it together."

Wu Kuoliang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, elder brother, just tell me if you have anything."

Wu Ronling looked at Wu Chan, his eyes full of love and guilt: "Ah Chan, I can't forgive you as a father."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhenguo felt an ominous feeling in her heart: "What do you mean by this? Does the Queen Mother want Achan to do something?"

Wu Ronling gritted his teeth and said in one breath: "The Queen Mother just summoned me and told me that she wanted Achan to marry Your Majesty. She also said that there was no room for negotiation on this matter. She just informed me..."

"What?" Mrs. Zhen Guo's wife lowered her face and patted the table: "I don't agree. Once you enter the royal family, you will be as deep as the sea. My Ah Chan is so gentle and gentle. If she enters the palace, won't she be tortured to death?

"

"Mother--"

Wu Yu called out, reminding her to be careful when speaking, and then looked at her sister who turned pale: "Achan, what do you think?"

"I..." Wu Chan's body couldn't stop trembling. The thought of spending the rest of her life in that luxurious and huge cage made her extremely scared.

She struggled internally for a while, and finally looked at her eldest brother cautiously and asked: "I...can I not agree?"

As soon as they heard this, everyone in the room knew that she was unwilling in her heart.

Wu Ronling showed a kind look and said softly: "Of course, as long as you don't want to, my father will definitely find a way to refuse this marriage."

Wu Chan was so moved that her eyes turned red. She resisted the urge to cry and said softly, "Thank you, father."

"Silly boy, I am your father, so I naturally want to protect you." Wu Ronling said with a smile.

Mrs. Zhenguo felt a little relieved, but soon became uneasy: "But since the Queen Mother has said it, she will not change her mind. If the imperial edict is issued tomorrow, there will be no room for change."

"It doesn't matter, leave this matter to me." Wu Ronling looked very confident. After comforting his daughter, he said to his wife: "You take Ah Chan back to the room first. Don't worry about this matter. I won't let Ah Chan enter the palace.

of."

With this assurance, mother and daughter felt relieved and left the study.

As soon as they left, Wu Kuoliang ordered someone to guard the study, and then asked Wu Ronling: "Brother, does the regent know about this?"

"I know." Wu Ronling said: "When the Queen Mother told me about this matter, the Regent was also there. He didn't say anything, but this was already his attitude."

Wu Yu frowned slightly, a little puzzled: "The regent and the queen mother actually have the same idea, and they both agree that your majesty will appoint A Chan as the queen. This matter is a bit strange."

Although the Prince Regent appears to be neither fighting for nor competing for the throne, he has controlled the government for more than ten years and has been unwilling to return power to His Majesty, which shows that he is actually ambitious.

In this case, how could he agree to this kind of thing to help His Majesty?

Wu Kuoliang thought for a while: "Actually, over the years, the Queen Mother has always obeyed the Regent in order to ensure that Her Majesty sits on the throne. It is only in the past few years that the Queen Mother has gradually shown dissatisfaction with the Regent.

"I was on duty in the palace, and I accidentally saw the Queen Mother and the Regent quarreling. It seemed that it was because of Your Majesty.

"I always feel that the reason why the regent agreed to this marriage must have other deep meanings."

Hearing this, Wu Ronling fell into deep thought.

Wu Yu sat down and thought about this matter.

There was silence in the room for a while, and Wu Ronling suddenly shouted: "I understand."

Seeing his brother and son looking over, he explained: "Although the King of Chu handed over his military power and vowed never to set foot in the capital again, the regent has been clearing out the old troops of the King of Chu over the years, and the same is true for our Zhenguo Palace.

"If we hadn't acted cautiously and not been caught by him, I'm afraid the Zhenguo Palace would have been destroyed long ago.

"If Your Majesty marries Ah Chan, the military power of the Zhenguo Palace will inevitably fall into the hands of Your Majesty. If Your Majesty has not yet taken charge, the military power will eventually fall into the hands of the Regent.

"Even if we retain our military power, because Achan is married to His Majesty, if the Regent unites with the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to attack the King of Chu, our government will be passive, and the King of Chu's lineage will inevitably be weakened."

It turned out that he was going to the King of Chu.

Wu Kuoliang and Wu Yu understood, but found the matter even more difficult.

"If this is the case, it will be very difficult for us to reject the marriage." Wu Kuoliang thought for a while and suggested: "How about we let Ah Chan complain about illness?"

Wu Yu shook his head: "No, the Queen Mother and the Regent will definitely not believe it. The imperial edict will still come when the time comes."

"Then... let's just say that A-chan has already made a marriage decision," Wu Kuoliang said again.

"If there was, my father would have said it long ago."

Hearing this, Wu Ronling immediately felt regretful. Why didn't he think of this reason at the time?

"Think again, think again..." Wu Kuoliang began to pace around the room, thinking carefully about countermeasures.

"You said..." Wu Yu suddenly thought of an excellent idea and said to them: "Is there a medicine that will cause symptoms of infertility in women after taking it?"

Wu Kuoliang's eyes lit up: "Yes, the royal family cares most about their heirs. If the Queen Mother knew that A-chan could not get pregnant, she would never let A-chan marry her majesty."

It's a good idea, but...

Wu Ronling looked at them and asked the most critical question: "Is there such a medicine?"

Wu Kuoliang quickly turned his attention to his nephew, Wu Yu said with a depressed face: "That's what I think about, I don't know if there is such a medicine..."

"You..." Wu Ronling wanted to beat his son, but he held back: "I asked you to learn how to fight with General Xiao. Let's see what you learned and came back with useless ideas."

Wu Yu knew that he was wrong and did not dare to face his father.

The room fell into silence again.

The imperial edict will come tomorrow. If we can't think of a countermeasure today, Ah Chan will be doomed.

Thinking of this, the three of them were so anxious that they were sweating profusely.

"well--"

Wu Yu sighed, stood up and walked out.

Wu Ronling quickly stopped him: "What are you going to do?"

"Find a way..." Wu Yu's voice came from the wind, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

But not long after, he came back and rushed to Wu Kuoliang: "Fourth uncle, are you going to be on duty in the palace this afternoon?"

"Yes." Wu Kuoliang glanced at Luo Ke: "It's still early."

"It's getting late, let's go to the palace and get ready."

Wu Yu roughly pulled Wu Kuoliang out of the study and said in a low voice: "Fourth uncle, please take me into the palace. Don't tell my father yet."

Wu Kuoliang suddenly became alert: "What do you want to do?"
