Chen Xu stood up and bowed to Qin Shihuang: "Your Majesty, I got drunk the night before yesterday and couldn't remember what happened after leaving the imperial kitchen. I thought about it for a day at home but still had no clue. I dare not discuss this matter absurdly. Perhaps only by catching the missing eunuch can I resolve the confusion in my heart and all the adults!"

Qin Shihuang nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask Your Majesty to agree today!" Chen Xu bowed again.

"Marty Qinghe, please speak!" Qin Shihuang nodded again with a little confusion.

"Your Majesty asks you to marry Princess Qingning as your wife!"

"What?" Qin Shihuang's body obviously tilted on the dragon chaise, and his mouth couldn't be closed even if it opened and closed.

The civil and military ministers in the court were even more uproar, and screams kept ringing.

However, Qin Shihuang recovered quickly after a brief loss of composure, but the look of suspicion on his face did not completely disappear. He held his beard and remained silent for a while and said, "Are you serious?"

"Yes, I thought it through carefully, and it is indeed serious!" Chen Xu said respectfully.

"Can you tell me the reason?" Qin Shihuang's heart was like a mess at this time and could not be solved.

He has many children, and there are seven or eight unmarried daughters. The most beautiful and favorite fifth princess is just at the age of marriage. Therefore, he had long wanted to marry this daughter to Chen Xu, and even demoted himself to Qinghe Marquis' Mansion to give him a marriage. However, what he did not expect was that Chen Xu refused, so this incident has always made him depressed. Moreover, this incident has become a household name in Xianyang. Before Chen Xu returned to Nanyang to marry, he had a clear reply that he would marry the fifth princess after he came back. However, he did not expect that just a few days later, Chen Xu suddenly changed his mind to marry Princess Qingning.

But it was still at this critical moment and was proposing to marry in front of all the civil and military ministers of the court.

Whether Qingning married or not or who Qin Shihuang was not concerned about whether he married was a man or not. After all, he was just a princess with the surname, but Chen Xu's approach obviously made him extremely puzzled.

"Your Majesty, Princess Qingning Lan Xinhui is gentle and beautiful. I have admired her for a long time, so I dared to ask Your Majesty for marriage. I hope Your Majesty will agree!" Chen Xu looked at Qin Shihuang seriously and seriously.

"It turns out that the Queen Qinghe has already chosen Princess Qingning, no wonder..."

"Yes, I also find it strange. The fifth princess is gentle and has a dignified appearance. However, the Hou of Qinghe wanted to refuse. It turned out that she had something else to ask for!"

"The identity of Princess Qingning..."

"So that's it, I can finally figure it out..."

All the civil and military ministers in the court began to whisper, and many people suddenly realized that Chen Xu had fallen in love with Princess Qingning long ago, so he rejected the fifth princess.

Qin Shihuang looked at Chen Xu and his face kept thrusting.

Chen Xu's request made him feel unprepared at all, and he was embarrassed and felt so depressed that he was a little uncomfortable to breathe.

After a few minutes of silence, Qin Shihuang finally got angry. His beard and eyebrows shook slightly and said, "Since the Marquis of Qinghe is so sincere, I agree to it. The matter is left to the Ministry of Rites. Zong Zheng and Taifu Offices will choose a good day to prepare for the marriage as soon as possible. After the Marquis of Qinghe returns to his home, he will also prepare the three books and six rituals..."

Qin Shihuang also figured it out at this time. Anyway, he wanted to marry his daughter. Chen Xu insisted on marrying Princess Qingning, and he was asking for marriage in front of all the civil and military officials in the court. He could not refuse in person. This is a very wonderful relationship between the monarch and the minister. If it is not handled well, some cracks will inevitably arise between the monarch and the ministers. What's more... Qin Shihuang felt that Chen Xu had another purpose in doing this. As for what the purpose was, he could wait to understand it later.

Just after Qin Shihuang agreed to Chen Xu's request, the two palace ladies standing at the door of the court's back hall looked at each other and turned around and left. One of them went straight to the backyard to Qingning Palace, and the other went straight to Huayu Palace.

"Horse Qinghe really asked to marry Sister Qingning, and his father agreed?"

After hearing the stories of the palace servants, the brush in Ying Shiman, who was sitting in front of the window and writing intently fell off in the palace, dyeing the neatly written words blackened a large area. At the same time, her face was extremely pale and her voice was extremely sad.

"Yes, the Marquis of Qinghe asked for marriage in front of the whole court. His Majesty has agreed. When I came back, His Majesty was arranging the marriage ceremony of Lord Zhao of the Ministry of Rites..."

"Woo woo..." Ying Shiman could no longer help but feel aggrieved and helpless, and she covered her face and ran into the dormitory, covered her head in the quilt and cried loudly.

In Qingning Palace, after listening to the palace servant's report, Wang Qingxiu's pale and thin cheeks flushed and asked with a little excited expression: "Horse Qinghe really said that I, Lan Xinhui, is gentle and beautiful?"

"Yes, that's what the Marquis of Qinghe said in front of His Majesty and the ministers of the court!" The palace servant nodded quickly.

Wang Qingxiu sat blankly for a few minutes, then stood up and told the maid to change into the most beautiful dress, carefully dress up in the mirror, and even painted a thin layer of beauty on his pale and blood-free face.

When the dressing was over, looking at Wang Qingxiu, who was graceful and energetic, the two little maids happily gave Wang Qingxiu a blessing: "Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to Princess, I will also be able to follow the Qinghe Marquis Mansion to eat delicious food every day!"

Wang Qingxiu looked at the two maids who had been with him day and night, and a trace of tears appeared in his eyes. Then he looked at his clothes and outfits again in the bronze mirror and opened a copper box, took out a letter and said, "You should leave the palace and send this letter to the Tongwu Marquis Mansion, and you must hand it to the general in person."

"Yes, princess, please rest assured. We will definitely tell the general and the marquis about this happy event!"

After receiving the letter, the two maids set off happily and quickly left Qingning Palace in a carriage.

Wang Qingxiu turned around and looked closely in the room. Looking at the lonely and cold bedroom, he couldn't help but cough violently again, then spit out a mouthful of blood and sat on the chair. After a long time, he wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, took off a short sword hanging on the head of the bed and went out, and called several palace servants to raise the eunuchs tied in the warehousing room and put them on the carriage, and then got on the carriage and ordered them to leave to the main hall.

Several palace ladies looked at Princess Qingning with frosty faces, and they were all silent. They didn't know why the palace ladies sent this eunuch to the court hall, so they could only leave obediently.

Wang Jian, who was covered in messy and white hair, had a haggard face and looked terminally ill, read the letters sent by the two little maids, sat blankly on the bed for a long time without saying anything.

"Father, what did Xiu'er's letter say?" Wang Ben, wearing a brocade robe, looked at his father with some anxiety.

"You can read it yourself!" Wang Jian handed the letter in his hand to Wang Ben, then stood up and said to several maids: "I'm changing clothes for me, I'm going to the court to meet the emperor!"

Soon, Wang Jian put on a black brocade robe that he hadn't worn for several years, with a jade crown on his head, and his hair and beard neatly combed, and his spirit seemed to have improved a lot.

Wang Ben also finished reading the letter at this time, and looked at his neatly dressed father in confusion and said, "Father, Xiu'er said that Zhao Zhe planned to murder Qinghe Hou, but what does this matter have to do with us? We only need to notify Qinghe Hou for this matter. He will deal with it naturally so that we will not get involved."

"Oh~" Wang Jian sighed with a sad face, "You only know one thing but not the other. Our Wang family has been involved long ago..."

At this point, Wang Jian did not hide his son anymore. He carefully explained the incident that was involved in the matter of Zhao Zhe. Finally, he said with a melancholy expression: "Xiuer had a conflict with Chen Xu because of Zhao Zhe's affairs, and almost killed Chen Xu by mistake. But you don't know Xiu'er too much. She lost her mother since childhood and was withdrawn. She has always felt guilty about Chen Xu. She came to this letter to tell us that she was going to take on the responsibility of this matter and completely resolve the misunderstanding. Zhao Zhe must have been killed by Xiu'er. Behind Zhao Zhe is Zhao Gao, and planning the matter against Chen Xu must be Zhao Gao's instructions.

She made the matter of Zhao Zhe clear, and Zhao Gao would inevitably be involved. Didn’t you hear what the two maids said just now? Chen Xu had just asked the emperor to marry Xiuer in person in the court. This must be related to the assassin in the palace the eve of the past. Then she took the handle and forced Chen Xu. She also resented me, grandpa and you, father, and forced us to help Chen Xu. There was a cause and effect. It was because I was tolerant for a while back then that the situation today was just a matter of time. Now, the disaster should indeed stop! You don’t have to worry about this matter, I will deal with it!"

Wang Jian waved his hand and walked out of the room, instructing the guards to prepare the carriage to go out, leaving only Wang Ben in a daze with the letter. He never expected that there would be such a complicated situation behind this matter, and he was always kept in the dark.

In the court, the emperor had already arranged the marriage of Princess Qingning.

As the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Gao was also depressed and his face turned dark, but he did not dare to have an attack.

As soon as he died, Chen Xu asked to marry the princess, as if he was deliberately against him, completely ignoring his desolation and feelings.

Zhao Gao had four sons and two daughters, but only one son and one daughter were born. His daughter married Yan Le as a grown-up. His son Zhao Zhe caused great disaster in Nanyang because of his spoiling, and his external kidney was cut off by Chen Xu's guards and became a eunuch. This made him die from then on. As for the three sons and one daughter of the concubine, they were all born by concubines. In this era where bloodlines and identity are emphasized, they do not have much status and cannot be put on the table.

Not only did he die, but he had to worry about Chen Xu marrying the princess. With his hatred for Chen Xu, Zhao Gao wanted to pounce on him and strangle Chen Xu on the big chair to death.

Zhao Gao was also confused about how his son was suddenly killed in the palace.

Chen Xu had just returned to Xianyang, and it was a newlywed, so the emperor did not often summon Chen Xu to the palace. Although Zhao Gao knew about the arrangements with Zhao Zhe to deal with Chen Xu, he did not expect that his son would suddenly take action without communicating with him.

Therefore, Zhao Gao's only speculation was that Chen Xu was not drunk at that time, and his son couldn't help but act. As a result, Chen Xu killed his son with a counterattack, then took the eunuch and escaped from the palace and deliberately hid in the ditch, and then pushed the matter to the missing eunuch so that the water would be muddy.

It must be like this...

Zhao Gao stared at Chen Xu's fierce fist and clenched his teeth.
