Chapter 1495 Smooth Progress
Emperor Qian listened to Lian Yi's words and said with a smile without changing his expression:

"Anping, you don't need to worry about these things. Father will take care of them."

Lianyi then relaxed her brows, and then said casually:
"The Nangong family recently sent an invitation to my mother, saying that they are going to hold a flower viewing banquet and invite Ning'er and me to attend. I always feel that they have other intentions. Nangong Qing's target is my daughter. I don't know which young lady of the Nangong family has set her sights on Zhao Ning."

After listening to Lian Yi's words, Emperor Qian closed the memorial in his hand and said calmly:

"Recently, I will ask the tutor to add more courses for Zhao Ning. During the autumn examination this year, I plan to let Zhao Ning compete with students from all over the world to see how capable he is."

Lianyi knew that since Emperor Qian said so, Zhao Ning would not have the opportunity to leave the palace in the short term, and probably would not even have the time to pay respects to the Queen Mother. This was also a protection and test for Zhao Ning.

She had obviously guessed what Emperor Qian was thinking. He did not want any royal son to marry the daughter of Nangong family again, especially his legitimate child.

The father and daughter exchanged a few more words, and Lianyi returned to her palace with a calm face. All that was left was to wait for the other party's further actions.

Before Luosha's men brought back the news about Nangong Qing and Qin Mianmian, the order from the King of Luopan was delivered back. The content was very simple. If it was confirmed that Princess Daqian's dowry was three cities and they could guarantee to get the cities, they would give up the mission of taking the prince away and try to promote a marriage and bring Princess Anping back. As for whoever of his sons she was to marry after she came back, it would be fine.

Luosha read the message twice and confirmed that it was a message with the king's private seal. Then he put it in his arms and became more confident about what he was going to do. As long as the king supported him, his actions would be much more legitimate.

Afterwards, Luosha summoned all the Luopan people in the post station, solemnly conveyed the king's latest order, and then began to assign specific tasks. Everyone accepted it well. From previous actions, they had realized that the plan had changed. Now that they had the king's order, they just had to act according to his orders.

On the same night that Rakshasa delivered the order, Rama came back and told Rakshasa a new news.

"The little daughter of the Qin family who was said to have been driven out of the capital is actually dead. The Qin family wrapped her body in a straw mat and threw it into a mass grave."

"Rama, did you see this with your own eyes?"

Rakshasa asked.

"No, but don't worry, sir. I went to the mass grave at night based on the information provided by the spies and actually found a female corpse. Although she was wearing coarse linen clothes and her face was scratched, I checked her carefully and found that her skin was white and her hands had no calluses. It was obvious that she had never done rough work.

Moreover, I found a purse with the word "Qing" embroidered on it in her hand. She was holding it tightly in her hand. I had to work hard to pry it open. The most important thing was that her belly was bulging, which might mean she was pregnant. I guess this was the reason for her tragic death."

After Rama finished speaking, he took out a small piece of cloth from his bosom, opened it, and presented the blood-stained blue purse to the Rakshasa.

Luosha was certain at this time that Qin Mianmian was pregnant with Nangong Qing's child, so she clutched the purse given to her lover before she died. It seemed that Nangong Qing was not a good person either, and he dared to do things but not to take responsibility.

At this time, Ross, dressed in black, climbed through the window and entered Luosha's residence. Rama immediately smelled a bloody smell and frowned and asked:
"Rose, are you hurt?"

"Well, I went to the Nangong family to find out about Nangong Qing's background, but I found him and the maid hanging out in the study. I wanted to knock the maid unconscious and ask Nangong Qing, but somehow I alerted the guards in the Nangong mansion, and I was stabbed when I tried to get away."

"You didn't lead anyone here?"

Luosha asked unhappily. "I dare not. I have returned after shaking off the pursuers, so I will never attract anyone here."

"Alright, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Go back and take care of your wounds and your clothes first. Don't let anyone know. We are in the territory of Daqian after all, so we'd better be careful."

"Yes, my lord."

Ross covered his arm and quickly returned to his residence. Luosha waved his hand to let Rama go back as well. He still needed to consider his words so that he could persuade Emperor Qian to agree to the marriage after entering the palace tomorrow.

Duoduo immediately passed the news to Lianyi, and also complained:

"That Nangong Qing looks like a decent man, but I didn't expect that he is such a dissolute person in private. Even if I didn't become a hostage, I wouldn't be happy marrying such a noble family man. I guess I have to put up with him for the rest of my life for the queen's sake."

Lian Yi nodded in agreement:
"That's why I chose him as the raft, and I don't feel guilty about it at all.

The Nangong family has long been rotten from the root, and now it is just a facade, so they will cling to my mother tightly, let her charge in the front, and try to influence my marriage with Zhao Ning.

If I can marry into the Nangong family, and Zhao Ning can marry a girl from the Nangong family, then that would be in line with their wishes. But how could Emperor Qian let such a thing happen? They can figure it out with their toes, but they still want to force it. They will suffer the consequences in the future."

"Master is right. After you marry into the family, you can legitimately get rid of the Nangong family. You will also stand on the side of justice and save Zhao Ning, who is their lifeline. The Nangong family will only be grateful to you. You can also take this opportunity to ask for some more benefits."

Duoduo immediately started to calculate. Her master never did business at a loss, and this time was no exception.

"You are right. I stand on the high ground both in terms of justice and reason. Although I can only take advantage of you once, as long as there is benefit, this princess is not picky."

Ripple said with a smile.

The next morning, Luosha brought Rama and Ross into the palace to ask for an audience with Emperor Qian.

Emperor Qian naturally knew their purpose and did not stop them, but summoned them to the hall.

Luosha only bowed and saluted, but did not kneel down and kowtow. Before Emperor Qian could speak, he said:

"Your Majesty, the warriors of Luopan have been in Daqian for more than 20 days. The king is in poor health and urged us to return as soon as possible, so I came here today to ask for an audience."

Emperor Qian frowned and said straight to the point:

"Ambassador Luosha, your request makes me feel very embarrassed. Daqian has more than one prince, why must it be my eldest son?
My queen has been making a fuss lately and doesn't agree with the eldest prince going to Luopan for exchanges. Can you guys wait a little longer? Once you've appeased the queen, I'll arrange for the prince to travel with you to Luopan."

Luosha heard this and it was exactly what he wanted. He immediately sighed and said:

"Your Majesty, Luosha naturally understands the pain of separation from his family, and also sympathizes with the fact that the eldest prince is underage, so he specifically asked the king for permission. The king is also a father and can understand your feelings. After careful consideration, he decided to marry your Majesty and wants to marry your Majesty's eldest princess to show the friendly relationship between the two countries. Such a covenant will also be more solid. What do you think?"
