Hanekawa Tsubasa didn't react as big as Gen Tokiichi.

He said slowly, "There is something I have wanted to say for a long time. I don't want to be the emperor. When my father was about to die, I also wanted to express my meaning clearly. I don't regret it. When I burned the edict, I made my position clear. Afterwards, I wanted to leave here and take my mother back to the Situ family. Mr. Yuan, I know that I have failed you. However, this is my true intention. This kind of restricted life cannot It suits me, and I don’t like power. A loose and free life is what I yearn for.”

"I can understand." Zuo Chenye said, "A is like a bear's paw, B is like arsenic. The throne of the emperor is just a shackle for you."

"Yes, it really made me ascend to that position. It is suffocating for me every day." Hanekawa Tsubasa glanced at Zuo Chenye and thanked him for his understanding, "I burned the edict at that time because I really wanted to use the jade seal. In exchange for your safety. I didn’t expect that Chiyo Yuta’s people would take advantage of this loophole. It was my oversight.”

Qiao Ran's body stiffened.

So, she stole the Sword of the Sun in vain?The person who will eventually become emperor will be Hanekawa Makuzuru.

"Qiao Ran, I'm sorry. I know that you are now under the control of Hanekawa Makuzuru, and you have worked hard to steal the Sword of the Sun. You will not be in vain. At least now we have two chips in our hands. Everything is there In our hands, Hanekawa Makuzuru must agree to our conditions." Hanekawa Tsubasa expressed his apology, "No matter what, this is our country's matter. I am sorry for implicating you."

"That's all, it's better than putting all the charges of killing you and the prince on my head, blaming it on the Xia family, and provoking war between the two countries." Qiao Ran already knew Chiyo Yuta's purpose, and was glad that he was saved. Hanekawa Makuzuru's life.

She hated him so much that she wanted to protect him in the end.

"The current external troubles have outweighed the internal worries. After last night's incident, Chiyo Yuta's intentions were exposed, and the Chiyo family has openly rebelled." Zuo Chenye reminded, "No matter which of you becomes the emperor, in the next period of time, all remnants of the Chiyo family will be eradicated. It requires a lot of energy and troops.”

Gentoki frowned, "I didn't expect Chiyo Yuta to actually dare! I really underestimated him."

"Once such a person sits on the throne, it is more dangerous than anything else. I think you should understand." Zuo Chenye let go of Qiao Ran and stood up, "Actually, there is only one road in front of us, which is what I mentioned last time. Peace talks.”

"Yes." Hanekawa Tsubasa agreed, "We both joined forces last night out of desperation. In any case, our surname is Hanekawa. Now that the Eastern Capital is controlled by the Imperial Household Agency and the Crown Prince, if there is another conflict between us. Seriously. Chiyo Yuta, who was being guarded outside the city, took advantage of the situation and entered."

"Several major families are probably waiting and watching." Yuan Shiyi was a little angry, "These old guys are more sophisticated than the last."

"In the four countries of Kyushu, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Normally, the royal family can't reach out. At this time, they just stand by and watch. I'm afraid that if someone supports Chiyo Yuda, things will be more troublesome." Hanekawa Tsubasa was a little worried.

"That's why we need to reach an agreement as soon as possible and give the other major families a clear direction. The longer it takes, the more chaotic the situation will be." Zuo Chenye raised his wrist and looked at the time, "Without further delay, we must meet with Hanekawa Makaku tonight. The deal is settled. We have enough chips in hand."

"Young Master Zuo, what do you think?" Yuan Shiyi asked, "For the sake of the country, peace talks are naturally the best way to go now. What I'm worried about is that in the future, the prince will eradicate the imperial palace, including me, who is a thorn in his side. , I’m afraid it will be difficult to live. But now is not the time to consider my personal safety. That’s all, peace is more important.”

"He may not eradicate you." Zuo Chenye suddenly asked, "Old Yuan, do you have a daughter?"

Yuan Shi was stunned one by one, "Yes, in addition to the eldest daughter and second daughter who are already married. I also have a younger daughter who is 26 this year and has never refused to get married."

He immediately realized, "Young master Zuo, do you want my daughter to marry the prince?"

"Will he be willing?" Qiao Ran had seen Hanekawa Makuzuru's attitude towards Chiyoyuki. Even at such a critical moment, when Chiyo Yuta forced Hanekawa Makuzuru to marry, he did not agree.

"Chiyoyuki is dead. She died at the hands of her father." Tsubasa Hanekawa's eyes dimmed.

"There are actually other reasons why Hanekawa Makuzuru does not agree to marry Chiyoyuki. We can mention that if Hanekawa Makuzuru agrees to the marriage, the Imperial Household Agency will definitely be able to keep it. In fact, based on the current situation, Hanekawa Makuzuru will win the Imperial Household Agency. His full support is the wisest move. He is a smart man and he will not understand this truth." Zuo Chenye pointed out.

"But, little girl, I wonder if my little girl is willing." Yuan Shi was confused. The Yuan family has a deep-rooted position in Country R.He naturally did not want his family to be destroyed. When he had a disagreement with the prince, he would do his best to support His Highness Yi.

"I am willing."

Suddenly, the door was opened from the outside.

Zuo Chenye and Qiao Ran heard the news and passed by.

A woman actually walked in.

Qiao Ran was startled. She was such a gentle and quiet woman. Her face was fair and fair, her eyebrows were clear and bright, her eyes were watery, and the corners of her lips were slightly curved, like a quiet crescent moon. Even her voice was They are all like orioles, crisp and graceful.

Yuan Shi was stunned for a moment, "Why are you here?"

Hanekawa Tsubasa also looked over, "Minamoto no Shizuo?"

He quickly introduced it to Zuo Chenye and Qiao Ran, "Oh, this is Mr. Yuan's youngest daughter, Yuan Zhijing. I'm very familiar with her because we both studied medicine. Yuan Zhijing specializes in internal medicine, and I'm a surgeon. .”

Qiao Ran smiled slightly and said, "Hello."

Zuo Chenye nodded gently.

"Nonsense, why are you here? This is the place where we discuss political affairs." Yuanshi scolded.

"Father, I'm here to deliver medicine to you. You have worked hard these past two days. I have prepared some medicine for you. You can take care of it. I heard your conversation just now." Yuan Zhijing said gently, "As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agrees, I am willing to marry, and I am willing to marry him."

Gentoki was stunned and frowned, "I'm different from Chiyo Yuta. I don't want to use my daughter as a bargaining chip to protect the Imperial Household Agency and my status. Go back quickly and don't mess around. Things haven't reached that point yet. Let’s discuss it later.”

"Father, I volunteered." Yuan Zhijing suddenly knelt down with a "plop", her bright eyes were bright and clear, "I, I have liked him for a long time. It is a secret love. I hope my father will give me this. Chance."

At the end of Yuan Zhijing's words, she was extremely shy, and the shyness and aura in her expression overflowed.
