Empress marry

Chapter 260 Conspiracy?
When Shangguan Yuxi heard the word "marriage", his face turned pale with fright.

Walking alone on the way back to her palace, she saw Xia Houyuan talking to the guards in front of her from a distance, her sore and swollen eyes couldn't help turning red again, she rushed over and was about to throw herself into the man's arms... …

But when the two bodies were about to touch each other, he avoided them lightly.

The guards seemed to be accustomed to such a situation, and they were not surprised at all.

"Princess." Xia Houyuan bowed lightly.

"Xia Houyuan, the imperial brother and the queen mother punished me again."

Shangguan Yuxi felt aggrieved and wanted to pull his sleeve, but the man avoided her touch again, respectful but alienated.

Xia Houyuan narrowed his eyes lightly, "The emperor and the queen mother must be doing it for the princess's benefit, so the princess should stop messing around."

"You are the fool!"

She didn't think she was at fault for what happened in the Royal Garden just now. Although the consequences seemed a bit serious, and she was punished severely after offending her mother, as long as it was something she thought was right and wanted to do, so what if she was punished?
"I never regret what I do, and I didn't come here to listen to your preaching." She was still strong at first, but when she said the last sentence, she obviously weakened, "I just miss you..."

"..."

Xia Houyuan frowned, "Princess respects herself."

He took a step back in apparent alienation.

Shangguan Yuxi's eyes pierced, "Self-respect?"

She stared at him for a long time, a flash of self-mockery flashed in her eyes, "Xia Houyuan, do you think it doesn't matter even if I get married?"

The man's dark eyes were unfathomably restrained, and finally, he said lightly, "The princess's decision, the subordinates have no way to interfere."

"That's what you said!"

She sneered, "Xia Houyuan, if one day the Japanese princess asks the emperor to recruit you as my son-in-law, don't regret it!"

After speaking, she turned and ran.

Xia Houyuan frowned even tighter, watching her running away quickly, the almost imperceptible coldness disappeared from her slightly narrowed eyes.

……

Soon it was time for the dinner party.

The emperor asked Shangguan Jinglan to take Lu Qingqing with her. At first she thought it was inappropriate, after all, it was an occasion with only men, but later found that the emperor also thought of this, and there were other female relatives on the spot.

Seeing her and the man coming in, Shangguan Qi Hanfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a flash of coldness in his eyes.

He said coldly, "There was an ammunition theft case in the suburbs of Beijing the night before, and such a thing happened at the feet of the emperor. I am so disappointed!"

The crowd was in an uproar!
Arms stolen?

"Your Majesty, which traitor has such courage?"

"The emperor calm down, I believe that these traitors will be arrested as quickly as possible!"

The ministers in the palace said something to each other, and the emperor on the dragon chair sneered.

"The traitor suffered three arrow wounds on his back and two stab wounds on his chest! I believe that he will be subdued soon!"

When the words fell, Lu Qingqing's brows twitched instinctively when she looked in the direction of Shangguan Jinglan.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, "Okay, today is my birthday banquet, so let's not talk about such disappointing things! Before the dinner starts, I have also prepared entertainment activities. First, I will take all my lovers to the Imperial Garden for a walk .”

Lu Qingqing's heart missed another beat.

I don't know why, although she didn't ask Shangguan Jinglan what he did the night before, but now she has a vague feeling that he has something to do with the theft of arms!
And it is definitely not a coincidence that the emperor suddenly brought up this matter...

What is he going to do with them in the imperial garden?
Could it be that there is a conspiracy?
