Chapter 1507: Marriage
"It doesn't matter. We have to wait until he gets what he wants. Otherwise, he won't attack me. We still have time."
Lianyi put down the teacup and replied calmly.
"Yes, I understand."
"Luo Lu will frequently come to the palace in the next few days. You should arrange for someone to tell Luo Lu that I have a rift with the Empress and the First Prince. Make sure he knows that I am isolated and helpless in the palace, and I chose to marry out of desperation."
"Yes, I will do it right away. Do I need to avoid His Majesty's people for this matter?"
After Fulin agreed, he asked another question.
"No, we are telling the truth. It's just that in the eyes of the emperor, we think that family disgrace should not be made public. But why shouldn't I do something that is beneficial to me? Besides, when I leave Daqian, no one will mention these things anymore."
"The slave understands."
The purpose of this walk had been achieved, and the deal between Lianyi and Luolu had been preliminarily concluded, so she took the people around her back to Fengming Palace.
At noon the next day, Emperor Qian's imperial edict arrived. Lianyi had been waiting for it for a long time. She respectfully took the edict from Lai Fu, went to the Qinzheng Hall to express her gratitude, and then officially put her departure on the agenda.
The Queen Mother was still bedridden at this time. When she heard that His Majesty had issued an order for a marriage, she felt depressed and fainted again, and her condition worsened.
Concubine Rong was secretly happy, and then she took care of the arrangements for Princess Anping's marriage in a serious manner. She only said to the outside world that the Queen had not recovered from the typhoid fever, and her condition had worsened when she learned that her only daughter was going to marry. She could not send her daughter away in person, so she had to step forward to take care of the subsequent matters.
Luo Lu has not been idle these days. He first used the spies in his hands to find out about Anping's affairs. He learned that the Queen and Anping were at odds because of the hostage issue, and the eldest prince was very embarrassed to be caught between the two. It is not an exaggeration to say that Princess Anping had no choice but to cooperate with him.
"That's good! Daqian no longer has someone who can support her. Only after she marries me can she wholeheartedly help me take the throne."
Luo Lu said with a smile as he looked at the letter in his hand.
"The prince is wise!"
Luosha immediately flattered him.
"Okay, now that Emperor Qian has issued an order, tomorrow the prince will go and ask for the dowry of three cities."
Luo Lu said with a smile.
On the second day, Luo Lu went to the palace again on the pretext of discussing the departure date. After the Imperial Observatory gave an auspicious date, Luo Lu accepted it and then brought up the issue of Princess Anping's dowry.
Emperor Qian knew that the climax was coming, and he acted dumb at first, just as he had rehearsed, saying that he had prepared ten thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and all kinds of jewels and jades for the princess. In short, it was a very decent dowry.
Luo Lu knew that Emperor Qian would not give in easily, so he simply brought up Princess Anping and said that Emperor Qian was an emperor and his words could not go back on their word. If he was unwilling to even give out his daughter's dowry, this would make them, Luo Pan, look down on him.
"Humph! Who said I won't give my daughter a dowry? Isn't that enough?"
Emperor Qian pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth, hoping that he could get away with it.
Luo Lu held on tightly and said:
"The reason why King Luopan is willing to give up inviting the prince to Luopan is because the marriage will tie the interests of the two countries together. Your Majesty wants a stable border but is unwilling to pay. How is this possible?"
"That's different?" "How is it different? Does Your Majesty think that the great Princess Daqian is not worth a few cities?
Your Majesty's attitude is the key to whether the princess' marriage to the Luopan Kingdom will be smooth. After all, everyone has their own value."
Immediately, a court official stood up to refute Luo Lu on behalf of Emperor Qian. Luo Lu did not show weakness either, and the quarrel ended in a bad mood. Luo Lu even uttered a harsh remark:
"We, Luo Pan, have the strength to take it ourselves. It's not like we haven't succeeded before. When the time comes, don't say that I didn't remind you."
After saying this, he turned away from the hall, leaving Emperor Qian with a gloomy face.
Although Emperor Qian knew that this was a temporary measure and that he had to play the whole game, when he really faced the arrogant Prince Luolu, he still wanted to kill him.
Lianyi heard the news from Duoduo and said with a sarcastic smile:
"They have no ability, but they are still shouting loudly. Now is not the time to be right just because they are loud. They are incapable of fighting Luo Pan on the battlefield, but they only know how to talk in the court. Father is too indulgent to them."
"Master, do these people really not understand or are they pretending not to understand? They are about to send the princess to marry to ensure safety, but they are still making a fuss. Do they think that they can get rid of the three cities by talking?"
“They just don’t care about my situation, and they are still hoping for the best, thinking that saving the three cities is a great achievement, but they don’t know that the three cities are baits.
But it's good to let them make a scene like this, at least it can eliminate Luo Lu's suspicion, and the easier it is to get something, the less we value it. Now let Luo Lu fight for it and show off his power, which is actually more beneficial to us."
Luo Lu argued with Emperor Qian for two days, and finally included the three cities in Lianyi's dowry list. However, Emperor Qian also made it clear that in Daqian, the dowry belongs to the woman and can only be inherited by her offspring, and the man cannot snatch it.
Luo Lu agreed readily. As long as the things arrived at their Luopan Kingdom, they would only belong to their Luopan Kingdom. He agreed now just to appease Emperor Qian. As long as he married Anping back, it would only be a matter of words to take over the city.
On the day the matter was finalized, Luo Lu received a message from his confidant who stayed in Luo Pan Kingdom, saying that King Luo Pan's health was running out and he would not be able to hold on for much longer, and asked him to go back as soon as possible.
Luo Lu immediately ordered his men to make preparations before departure, and went into the palace again to propose to advance the date of the marriage. This time Emperor Qian did not stop him. Pretending to be out of sight, he agreed to his request and allowed him to leave as soon as possible.
Luo Lu handed Lian Yi another letter, explaining the reason for leaving early and saying that he would give her a grand wedding when he arrived in Luopan Kingdom. Lian Yi readily agreed.
Because the rest of the plan can only be implemented after arriving in Luopan Country, she has already made preparations, and two groups of people have already set out for Luopan Country in advance. They have probably already gone most of the way by now. She believes that when she arrives, she will not be completely in the dark.
Two days passed in a flash. Today was the day Lianyi was leaving for her marriage. She first went to Fengyi Palace to visit the bedridden queen, and then went to meet Emperor Qian alone.
"Father, my daughter is gone. You must take good care of yourself and wait for me to bring back good news."
Lianyi knelt down and bowed, speaking with a choked voice.
"Get up! I'm sorry for being wronged this time. I remember my promise. If I can get rid of Luo Panguo, this great threat, I will definitely welcome you back. You will still be the princess of Daqian."
Emperor Qian was also somewhat moved.
"My dear father, I thank you!"
Lian Yi said after being helped up by Emperor Qian himself.
"I'll take you there."
"Father, one last thing. Please give me the sterilizing soup."
