Tortoise of the Great Desolation

Chapter 527
Watching Fei Zhong and You Hun go away in the carriage until the carriage was out of sight, Shang Rong sighed softly, turned and walked into the manor.

Back in the hall, looking at Ji Chang who was sitting still in his seat, Shang Rong was full of entanglements, he didn't know how to tell Ji Chang about this matter at all.

The reason is also very simple. The important matter that he and Ji Chang had agreed upon during the banquet was nothing but the marriage of his daughter Shang Qingjun and Ji Chang's son Ji Fa.

But now.
With a long sigh, Shang Rong sat back in his seat.

"Why are you sighing?" On the opposite side, Ji Chang asked curiously when he saw Shang Rong's appearance.

Picking up a glass of wine and downing it, Shang Rong said in a deep voice: "Brother Xian, I'm afraid the marriage between the young girl and the son will be put on hold for a while."

"Why?" Hearing what Shang Rong said, Ji Chang frowned immediately: "Your younger brother Cai just promised to be good, why did you change your mind in a blink of an eye?"

Shang Rong just lowered his head and drank without speaking.

Seeing this, Ji Chang pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Your brother suddenly changed his mind, could it be related to the order issued by the king?"

Nodding with bitterness on his face, Shang Rong said: "Your Majesty has issued an order to call the little girl into the palace."

"What?" Ji Chang was stunned for a moment: "Isn't the king's queen the daughter of Dong Bohou? Could it be that he wants to wrong Qingjun to be his concubine? That's not right. Brother Yu heard that the two concubines of the king are General Huang. and Mr. Yang’s daughter.”

Shang Rong nodded: "Brother Xian is right, it is true."

With Shang Rong's confirmation, Ji Chang was even more puzzled: "Your brother, you mean that the king asked Qing Jun to enter the palace as a maid?"

Shang Rong didn't speak.

But he didn't speak at this time, which was undoubtedly acquiescing.

Ji Chang was also dumbfounded.

What is this operation?
Shang Rong is not only the prime minister of the Great Shang, but also a veteran of the three dynasties. He enjoys a high reputation among the princes of the world. His daughter is fully qualified to be a queen, even if it is given the position of a concubine, it can only be said to be reluctant.

But now, let Shang Rong's daughter be a maid?
Isn't this slapping Shang Rong in the face?
Ji Chang racked his brains, but he couldn't figure out why Zishou did this.

However, in this way, his plan to marry Shang Rong will be ruined.

However, Ji Chang would never have imagined that it was precisely because he wanted to marry Shang Rong that Zishou made such a seemingly absurd decree.

The problem is that the marriage with Shang Rong this time is entirely Ji Chang's temporary idea, and it is impossible for others to know about it, so even if Ji Chang wanted to break his head, he would not have thought of this.

There is no way, he can only blame the unknown director thousands of years later for making Zishou remember that Ji Fa's wife is Shang Qingjun.

Sighing inwardly, Ji Chang said slowly, "Since it's the king's will, of course Brother Yu won't make things difficult for my virtuous brother, and the previous discussion with my virtuous brother should be voided."

"That's the only way to go first." Shang Rong nodded, and said: "Your Majesty would issue such an absurd decree, and I never expected it. Tomorrow I will enter the palace to have an audience with His Majesty, please take back your order. If Your Majesty does not Ken, the foolish brother can't resist the order, so he can only strangle the little girl to death at home, so as to avoid this humiliation and preserve the reputation of the school."

Hearing this, Ji Chang nodded slowly: "If so, it would be a good strategy."

Of course, Ji Chang didn't say anything in his heart.

If Shang Rong really does this in the end, it will not only make Shang Rong more famous, but also tarnish Hei Zishou's image in the eyes of the world. This result is even more beneficial to Xiqi than Shang Rong's marriage with him .

However, he can only keep these words in his heart, after all, he still has to consider Shang Rong's feelings.

From the beginning to the end, neither Shang Rong nor Ji Chang thought about asking the person involved, that is, what Shang Rong's daughter Shang Qingjun meant.

In their eyes, as long as they think it is right, it is right, so why should they consider a woman's opinion?

However, neither Shang Rong nor Ji Chang knew that just behind the lobby, a girl with a tray listened to their conversation calmly, then turned and left silently.

Just because she heard that her father was drinking with distinguished guests, she deliberately made hangover soup and wanted to bring it, but she didn't expect to hear such a conversation that made her feel chilling.

A distinctive figure flashed in her mind, and the girl pursed her lips.

Is it you who want me to enter the palace?

"This old man actually accepted the order?"

Chaoge, in the palace.

Listening to Fei Zhong and You Hun's report, Zi Shou raised his eyebrows in a little surprise.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, but the old Prime Minister also said that he will enter the palace to see Your Majesty tomorrow." You Hun replied.

"If he wants to come, let him come. When Shang Qingjun enters the palace, although he has no status, this old man can be regarded as the lonely half-father-in-law. How can Gu not see him?" Zi Shou said indifferently.

Seeing this, You Hun hesitated for a moment, and then said: "My lord, you should be more careful. The old prime minister entered the palace probably because of this matter. When the villain went to deliver the decree, although the old prime minister accepted the decree in the end, but in the middle he said. he said"

"What did the old man say, did you say it?" Seeing You's hesitating expression, Zi Shou impatiently stretched his legs and tried to kick him, urging him.

"The old prime minister said that he would rather strangle his daughter to death at home than let her enter the palace and embarrass the family." Seeing Zibei's impatience, You Hun finally said.

After finishing speaking, he buried his head deeply, not daring to look at Zishou again.

However, after waiting for a long time, the wrath he had expected from Zishou still did not come.

Feeling puzzled, You Hun cautiously raised his head, only to find that Zi Shou had a playful expression on his face, and he didn't look angry at all.

"Your Majesty, are you not angry?"

At this time, Fei Zhong who was standing next to him asked the question in You Hun's mind.

"Angry? Why is Gu angry?" Looking at Fei Zhong, Zi Shou asked back with a smile.

"But the old prime minister said."

"What does what he said have anything to do with Gu?"

Unceremoniously interrupting Fei Zhong's words, Zi Shou said lightly: "Gu just wants to call Shang Qingjun into the palace, not to destroy his family. If he does this, he would rather strangle his daughter than send him into the palace. So what about the orphan?"

"But in this way, the king's reputation."

"Fame?" With a soft snort, Zi Shou said lightly: "Gu doesn't need that kind of thing. So what if you have a good reputation? So what if you have a bad reputation? What Gu wants is that everyone must obey Gu's will. If that The old man will still have this attitude when he comes to see Gu tomorrow, so let him send Shang Qingjun's body to the palace. No matter what the process is, Gu's will must be carried out."

Seeing Zishou's slightly cold expression, both Fei Zhong and You Hun shut their mouths, not daring to speak any more.
