Chapter 102 Steady Don't Panic
Li Xianrou also seemed very flustered when she heard the news. She used her previous experience to alert herself at any time, and naturally she didn't want Mu Qiu to be involved in Prince Heng's mansion.Knowing that King Heng begged the emperor for a marriage, the first thing she thought of was the previous palace banquet.

Li Xianrou was thinking about Mu Qiu and ran in, she asked Mu Qiu anxiously: "Qiu'er, have you heard the news that King Heng asked the emperor for a marriage?"

"Mother, I just heard from Luyi too..."

"How did you get involved with King Heng? But what happened at the palace banquet that day?"

Mu Qiu shook his head and said: "No, mother, I didn't even say a word to Heng Wang at the palace banquet that day, and in front of the emperor and those ministers, it's impossible for anything to happen again."

"Then... then why did King Heng ask the emperor to marry you and him?" Li Xianrou saw that Mu Qiu didn't look like a liar, so she could only think about the crux of the problem in her head.

"I don't know either. I was shocked when I heard the news from Luyi just now. Mother, I don't know Heng Wang well, I don't want to marry him!"

Li Xianrou patted her hand and comforted her: "Since you don't want to, mother will refuse this marriage even if she risked her life."

"But..." Mu Qiu knows that this is not the 21st century, where the imperial power is the highest power. If the emperor agrees to marry Heng Wang, even if she doesn't want to, she must marry into Heng Wang's mansion. It will drag down the grandfather's family.

"Don't worry, the imperial decree of the emperor's marriage has not come yet, maybe the emperor didn't agree at all..."

Before Li Xianrou finished speaking, Lu Yi suddenly ran in in a panic.

"Miss, Miss, it's not good!"

"Lu Yi, what's the matter?"

"The palace...the palace...the emperor...the emperor sent someone to announce the decree!"

When Mu Qiu heard this, his heart turned cold on the spot.But the father-in-law who announced the decree was already waiting outside, and she had no choice but to go to receive the decree even though her face was ashen.

"Pass down the emperor's oral order, Xuansang Muqiu enters the palace to have an audience!"

There was only one oral order, and because he didn't see the bright yellow imperial edict, Mu Qiu's hanging heart sank a little.She asked cautiously: "Excuse me, father-in-law, do you know what the emperor Xuanmin's daughter entered the palace?"

The eunuch obviously also knew about King Heng's marriage proposal, so he looked at Mu Qiu as if he was looking at the future Princess Heng, and replied very respectfully: "The emperor's thoughts are not dared to guess, the girl should follow the slave quickly." Let's go to the palace and see you!"

The father-in-law was in a hurry, and Mu Qiu didn't have time to discuss with Li Xianrou how to deal with it. She just told her when she went out: "Don't be afraid, don't force yourself if you don't want to do it, no matter what happens, my mother will stand by you." On your side."

Li Xianrou sent Mu Qiu away with a worried face.On the way to the palace, Mu Qiu kept guessing the emperor's intention of announcing her to enter the palace.She knew that it must be related to the gift of marriage, but the emperor did not directly issue an order, which proved that there was still room for negotiation.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm down her nervousness.

Although many situations had been foreseen in advance, Mu Qiu still did not expect what happened before him.It was still the imperial garden where the palace banquet was held that day, but there is still a certain gap between the scene during the day and the night. Without the dim candlelight, the scenery of the imperial garden is more directly presented to the eyes.

In the gazebo right in front, there was a chessboard in front of the emperor, and there were tea and snacks on the table.Mu Qiu walked over and stood up after saluting. Although she didn't know how to play chess, she could see that there was an unfinished chess set on the chessboard in front of her.

Someone was here just now!This is what Mu Qiu thought of first, and then she thought of King Heng.

"Could it be that King Heng has come here first?" She secretly thought in her heart.
