Ten Again to Fight against Her Fate

"Tell them to come and see me." I took a deep breath. Shopkeeper Xiao has been a merchant in the Yang family for many years. Why would anyone think that he was an informant of King Qi's placed in the Yang family? A few days ago, I sent a letter through Lu Ping's older brother. I agreed to meet with King Qi today, disguised as someone from the store.

Mother Song put down the curtain and stood behind me. I looked back at her and said, "Mother, come down!" I'll call you if anything happens. " Mother Song blushed a little. She stood hesitating for a while. I smiled on the inside. Grandmother must have instructed Mother Song to stay by my side for a moment. I stared straight at Mother Song. Mother Song bit her lips and finally made up her mind. She raised her eyebrows and lifted the curtain to go out. The girls around us had looks in their eyes. When they saw that Mother Song had left, they followed behind her. At the door, Song's mother turned around and saw that Lu Ping was still standing by my side. She was slightly relieved. She came back and pulled her tent tighter, telling me to tell her again and again before she retreated.

"Miss!" A calm male voice rang out, bringing with it two tall figures. The man who spoke was about forty years old and had a thin stature. He wore a bun on his head and was dressed in deep green, making him look like a scholar. Next to him stood an even taller and more robust man.

The man walked four or five steps away from the canopy before stopping and bowing deeply. However, the man beside him was standing far away, not moving at all.

Sir, please get up." I got up from the bed and took a few steps towards the curtain to make sure that people outside could clearly see my movements before I stopped and lowered my body to blessing "Your Highness." His Imperial Highness, King Qi, was too inattentive. There was a headband on his head, and within it, a golden band was faintly visible. Under the rays of the sun, it shone with a bright light. "Although her clothes had changed into the clothes of a commoner, she was wearing a pair of black and blue brocade cloud boots. Some people would never be able to earn such a pair of boots in their entire lives.

Seeing that I had recognized him, King Qi didn't waste any more words. He directly sat on the chair behind the table, and Shopkeeper Xiao hurriedly followed me to pour him a cup of tea.

King Qi accepted the tea without drinking it, but held it in his hand. What a delicate man! I rolled my eyes at him.

"Speak!" What business do you have with This King? " King Qi's tone was exceptionally clear and cold. His disdainful tone made even Lu Ping frown. However, he leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs in satisfaction. I couldn't help but click my tongue. It seemed that Lu Ping's elder brother could be considered to have learned a lesson.

"I'm fine." This was originally a willing business deal, but King Qi acted as if he was his servant. How could they cooperate so well? I slowly walked back to the bed. Since Your Highness isn't in a hurry, I can wait.

"Are you alright?" Through the veil, he could see King Qi casually fiddling with something in his hands.

"Yes, I'm fine!" Even without looking in the mirror, I could imagine what a flattering smile I must have had on my face.

Shopkeeper Xiao, who was at the side, was a little anxious. On the surface, I was discussing the matter of the shop with him. It could be said that I cared about the shop a little longer, but it still couldn't be dragged on for too long.

Shopkeeper Xiao leaned over and whispered a few words into King Qi's ear. His voice was low and quick, so naturally, I couldn't hear him clearly. After King Qi heard what Shopkeeper Xiao said, he put away his dissolute appearance as a young master and stood in front of the screen.

"Open the tent and let me see your face." An average male voice came from outside the tent, calm and commanding. I slowly got up from the couch, tidied up my clothes, and stepped forward to pull the curtain to open a gap.

Through the window, I could see King Qi's face. He had a pair of sharp, sword-like eyebrows, deep, deep eyes, and a small, delicate nose. His red lips were slightly pursed. He looked like a delicate and pretty youth. "In a flash, the young prince's face bloomed into a smile. A pair of lively eyes, filled with sparkling water, sparkled like the surface of a sea.

"Miss Lu really does look like my cousin." Prince Qi's laughter carried a hint of coldness as he slammed the tent shut and took a few steps back.

"Thank you, your Imperial Majesty, for your praise." He looks like Princess Honghua, this is the only use I currently have for His Highness, King Qi. Although many have said that I look like Honghua, I've never personally confirmed it. If he hadn't been this cautious, King Qi probably wouldn't have been able to make it to this point. Last night, I specifically instructed Lu Ping to find a light color. In the morning, I went to pay my respects to my grandmother. When my grandmother saw that I was wearing plain clothes, she just thought that I was trying to keep a low profile and even nodded my head in satisfaction.

"Since Your Highness has already confirmed my appearance, shouldn't you tell me what you want me to do?" I stood in front of the tent and saw King Qi's expression change again and again, all of it unreadable.

"Isn't Miss Lu very smart? "Why don't you try and guess?" King Qi said sinisterly. This King Qi was truly strange. He was clearly doing business with her, but his attitude had always been intriguing. Could it be that he also had something to do with Princess Honghua?

"Your Highness, please go back." It's just a waste of time to continue on like this. I'm too lazy to fight him over Tai Chi. I turn around and head back to the bed to instruct Lu Ping to send the guests off.

"testamentary edict." The moment I turned around, King Qi whispered the words "testamentary edict." My heart tightened and I turned to stare at him. When I ascended the throne today, I had already read out the testamentary edict in front of all the officials. " This was a firm statement. Every new emperor had to announce their enthronement before the Daxing Emperor's soul. King Qi was naturally not looking for the testamentary edict.

"In the past, Imperial Father doted on the Xue Family the most, and Old Master Xue became a Minister in the Cabinet. He often accompanied Imperial Father around." King Qi meant that when the late emperor left and Old Master Xue was present, Old Master Xue would definitely know which prince the late emperor wanted to raise the most before he passed away. However, he only knew that the late emperor wanted to establish King Qi. How would he know that there was a testamentary edict?

"The Xue Clan will hide the testamentary edict?" I stared at the person at the other end of the curtain.

"Everyone says you're smart, but I don't think you're that smart." "If the Xue Clan had hidden the testamentary edict, the Xue Clan would not have existed for a long time! Back then, when my mother left, she asked royal father to make a testamentary edict and hid it within the palace. " King Qi meant the place where the Xue Clan knew about the testamentary edict.

"Since Your Highness knows about it, how could I not know about it today?" All of a sudden, I started to look down on King Qi's intelligence. Since he knew that there was a testamentary edict, how could he not know about it today?

"All the big families balance each other, how would the Xue Clan dare to send the evidence to others so blatantly." King Qi smiled, as if to mock my ignorance. The Xue Clan, who was originally on the edge of the blade, naturally felt that it was better to have less troubles than less. They only hoped that the secret of the testamentary edict could be covered up.

"Your Highness is going to marry Miss Xue soon, why would you send me into the Xue Clan?" I looked up to find the man's eyes. The sun was shining through his shoulders, making it hard to see his face.
