The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 443 Persuasion
Wu Rongling didn't know how he got back to the mansion, he only knew that when he came to his senses, there were already many people standing in the house.

"Father, are you alright?"

Wu Yu's eyes were full of worry, he was going to leave the mansion, but he ran into his father at the gate of the mansion, looking lost.

He called his father, but he didn't get a reply, so he turned back and followed his father into the study.

After Mrs. Zhen Guogong heard the news, it happened that her daughter was in the room, so she brought her here.

"Grandpa, what happened?" Mrs. Zhen Guogong saw him embarrassed, and said: "If something really happened, don't hide it, tell us and we will solve it together."

Wu Kuoliang nodded again and again: "Yes, elder brother, just say what you want."

Wu Rongling looked at Wu Chan, his eyes were full of pity and guilt: "Achan, I am sorry for my father."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhen Guogong felt ominous in her heart: "What do you mean by this? Is it what the queen mother wants Ah-chan to do?"

Wu Rongling gritted his teeth and said with a single thought: "The queen mother summoned me just now and told me that she wanted A-chan to marry His Majesty. She also said that there is no room for negotiation on this matter. She just informed me."

"What?" Madame Zhen Guo lowered her face, patted the table and said, "I don't agree, once entering the royal family is as deep as the sea, my A-Chan is so gentle and docile, if she enters the palace, wouldn't she be tortured to death? "

"Mother--"

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

"I..." Wu Chan's body trembled uncontrollably, as long as she thought about spending the rest of her life in that luxurious and huge cage, she would be terrified in her heart.

She struggled in her heart for a while, and finally looked at her elder brother cautiously and asked, "Can I not agree?"

As soon as they heard this, the people in the room knew that she was unwilling in their hearts.

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

Wu Chan's eyes were red with emotion, and resisting the urge to cry, she said softly, "Thank you, father."

"Silly boy, I'm your father, so I naturally want to protect you well." Wu Rongling laughed.

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

"It's okay, leave this matter to me." Wu Rongling looked very confident. After comforting his daughter, he said to his wife: "You take A-chan back to the room first, don't worry about it, I won't let A-chan enter the palace. of."

With this promise, the 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 Rongling: "Brother, does the regent know about this?"

"I know." Wu Rongling said: "When the queen mother told me about this, the regent was also there. He didn't say anything, but this is already his attitude."

Wu Yu frowned slightly, a little puzzled: "The regent and the queen mother have the same idea, and both agree that your majesty will make Ah-chan the queen. This matter is a bit strange."

Although the Prince Regent seems to be indifferent to the throne on the surface, he has held the government for more than ten years and has been reluctant to return the power to His Majesty, which shows that he is actually ambitious.

That being the case, how could he agree to such a matter of helping His Majesty?
Wu Kuoliang thought for a while: "Actually, for so many years, the queen mother has always obeyed the king regent's advice in order to secure her majesty's throne, but it was only in the past few years that the queen mother gradually expressed dissatisfaction with the king regent.

"I was on duty in the palace, and I accidentally bumped into the Queen Mother arguing with the Prince Regent, 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 Rongling fell into deep thought.

Wu Yu sat down and thought about it.

There was silence in the room for a while, and Wu Rongling suddenly jumped up: "I see."

Seeing his brother and son looking over, he explained: "Although the King of Chu handed over his military power and vowed not to set foot in the capital again, the regent has been clearing out the old ministries of the King of Chu all these years, and it is the same for our Zhen Guo Gongfu.

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

"If Your Majesty marries Ah-Chan, then the military power of the Duke of the Town will definitely fall into His Majesty's hands. If His Majesty has not yet personally governed, then the military power will eventually fall into the hands of the Regent.

"Even if we retain our military power, because A-chan is married to His Majesty, if the Regent joins the Queen Mother and His Majesty in attacking the King of Chu, our Zhen Guo Gongfu will fall into a passive position, and the lineage of the King of Chu will definitely be weakened by then."

It turned out that they were going to the king of Chu.

Wu Kuoliang and Wu Yu understood, but felt that the matter was even more difficult.

"If this is the case, it will be very difficult for us to cancel the marriage." Wu Kuoliang thought for a while, and suggested: "Why don't you let Ah-chan complain?"

Wu Yu shook his head: "No, the Empress Dowager and the Regent will definitely not believe it, and the imperial decree will still come."

"Then let's say that Ah-chan has already engaged in marriage." Wu Kuoliang said again.

"If there is, my father has already said it."

Hearing this, Wu Rongling immediately regretted it. Why didn't he think of this reason at the time?
"Think again, think again" Wu Kuoliang paced around the room, seriously thinking about countermeasures.

"You say..." Wu Yu suddenly thought of an excellent idea, and asked them, "Is there a medicine that will make women unable to conceive after taking it?"

Wu Kuoliang's eyes lit up: "That's right, the royal family cares most about offspring. If the queen mother knows that Ah-chan cannot conceive, she will definitely not let Ah-chan marry His Majesty."

It's a good idea, but
Wu Rongling looked at them and asked the most crucial question: "Is there such a medicine?"

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

"You..." Wu Rongling wanted to beat his son up, but he held back: "I told you to learn how to fight from General Xiao. Let's see what you learned. Come up with some useless ideas."

Wu Yu knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to face his father.

The room fell into silence again.

The imperial decree will come tomorrow, if you can't think of a countermeasure today, Ah-chan will be finished.

Thinking of this, the three of them were sweating profusely.

"Ugh--"

Wu Yu sighed, stood up and walked outside.

Wu Rongling 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 again and rushed to Wu Kuoliang's side: "Fourth Uncle, are you going to be on duty in the palace in the afternoon?"

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

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

Wu Yu rudely dragged Wu Kuoliang out of the study, and said in a low voice, "Fourth uncle, take me into the palace, don't tell my father yet."

Wu Kuoliang immediately became vigilant: "What do you want to do?"

Wu Yuchong blinked at him, with a mysterious look: "You will know at night."
