Xu Minglang looked at Xie Chongyu's hand that suddenly retracted, and immediately walked to Xie Chongyu's side, carefully looked at the so-called wound for a while, and said sarcastically:

"Prince Rui's wound seems to be a trick he played with that little eunuch when they were in love with each other. Now he still has to count it on my Mingyue head?"

"Even if you forget that my Mingyue suffered injuries all over her body in order to save her life, all the people in the capital have seen it. This does not allow Prince Rui to confuse right and wrong."

"Since Mingyue returned to the capital, Prince Rui has designed Mingyue again and again. Do you really think that the people in my Zhenguo Palace are dead?"

Every word is sincere, every sentence is apologetic, and Xu Minglang's eyes are stained with water.

Thinking of Xu Mingyue's wasted journey, Xu Jian clenched his hands tightly into fists and hit the armrest of the chair hard.

Even if Xie Yan wanted to protect himself, how could he believe that it was Xu Mingyue who hurt Xie Chongyu?

How could Xu Mingyue be credited with the love potion in front of her father and brother?

He withdrew his gaze from Xu and his son, and looked at Xie Chongyu's quibbling appearance, and had to stop him:

"Xie Chongyu, shut up!"

Xie Chongyu looked at Xie Yan in disbelief, his eyes full of complaints: "Father, what I said is true, why don't you believe me?"

"Is all the love you have shown to your son all these years fake?"

The inkstone he held in his hand hit Xie Chongyu directly on the forehead: "If you are not clear-headed, don't speak."

The pain made Xie Chongyu's face pale, and the holy anger made Xie Chongyu kneel down, not daring to speak.

Turning to look at Xu Jian, Xie Yan's eyes were a little softer:

"Mr. Zhen Guo, the two children have indeed been in the same house for a long time. If Mingyue doesn't marry Chongyu, no man in the world will marry her."

"I know that your government can naturally support her until she is old, but as a woman, it is against the law to have children without getting married."

"The Duke of Zhen Guo might as well take Chong Yu's affection into consideration and help these two children."

Having already reached this point, Xie Yan still wants to forcibly give Xu Mingyue to Xie Chongyu?

The hatred in Xie Chongan's head became more and more intense: "Father, I would like to marry the princess as my main concubine, and when the time is right, I will marry my cousin as my concubine."

Obviously, no one can support such a decision.

Because if such a decision is made, then everyone in the hall except Xie Chongan will lose.

"Have you forgotten that the princess is the fiancée that Gu's father, Huang, has chosen for Gu Daxiao?"

How can a minister unilaterally withdraw from the marriage granted by the late emperor?

Xie Qingyao didn't mention it or take it. Naturally, he only considered Xu Mingyue's heart.

Ignoring the extremely ugly looks on Xie Yan and Zhao Ying's faces, Xie Qingyao bowed his hands devoutly towards Xu Jian: "Qingyao wants to marry the princess, and I hope my uncle will make it happen."

At the sound of uncle's arrival, Xu Jian's solemn expression softened since he entered the hall.

It wasn't until this moment that Xu Jian fully understood that all the grudges he had towards Xie Qingyao in the past were normal emotions a father had towards his future son-in-law.

And he was satisfied with Xie Qingyao, his son-in-law.

The corners of his lips curved up, and with relief in his eyes, Xu Jian said, "Okay."

Xie Chongan stopped, and Xie Chongyu, who had been jumping around, also stopped.

For the two brothers, letting Xie Qingyao marry Xu Mingyue seemed to be the best solution to the situation at hand.

After receiving the promise, Xie Qingyao's eyebrows were full of joy. He turned to look at Zhao Ying and made arrangements:

"Auntie Huang, please take the time to sort out my mother's dowry. Now that I have no father or mother, I naturally have no choice but to raise it myself."

He took out a very thick dowry list from his arms and handed it to Zhao Ying:

"If you spend it in advance, you can convert it into cash. If there is one thing missing, I will ask my grandfather to come and ask for it in person."

At this time, the dowry list was taken out, and one look at it showed that Xie Qingyao had come prepared.

Even though letting Xu Mingyue marry Xie Qingyao was a way to balance the current situation, how could Xie Yan feel at ease when Xu Mingyue, the woman whom God had chosen, was given to Xie Qingyao?

"Qingyao, marriage is a matter of parents' orders. How can a matchmaker's words be such a child's play?"

"Huh?" Xie Qingyao chuckled softly: "Xie Chongan and Zhao Muyun have an affair without a matchmaker, and now they have arranged for the etiquette department to handle the wedding."

"Xie Chongyu used a bunch of love potions to plot against the princess, and the emperor's uncle used the same room to force the two of them to get married."

"Both parents of an orphan are dead, and my father is lost at a young age. Is it child's play to get back the marriage that my father, emperor, and mother made for me in the past?"

Xie Yan frowned and looked at Xie Qingyao in silence.

No matter how reasonable Xie Qingyao's words were in front of him, Xie Yan could not fulfill his wish.

No one gave in, and with murderous intent surging in his heart, Xie Yan slowly raised his hand on the dragon chair.

The secret guard clenched the sword in his hand. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xie Qingyao lowered his stance and released his chips:

"Gu also understands what the emperor's uncle is worried about. But the marriage between Fan Gu and the princess has become a foregone conclusion. The Chen family of Lu County resigned from office and returned to Lu County. From now on, Gu will sit in the position of the virtuous king that the emperor's uncle has proclaimed. superior."

"When the truth about the death of his father and mother came to light, Gu took Gu's wife and left the capital to explore another part of the world."

Xu Jian and Xu Minglang looked at each other in silence, and then stood next to Xie Qingyao: "When the truth comes out, I will leave the capital with my family, and will not be involved in imperial power from now on."

Xie Yan's mind is very confused now. He subconsciously doesn't want Xie Qingyao to marry Xu Mingyue.

But his reason kept telling him that if all these people resigned and returned home, Xu Mingyue, the daughter of destiny whom he held in one hand, would be of little use.

After drinking a cup of tea, his reason overcame his intuition and Xie Yan said: "Chongyu made a big mistake because of his own selfish desires. He was dragged down and beaten fifty times and was banned from Prince Rui's Mansion for half a year."

"For the marriage between Qingyao and Mingyue, I will definitely issue a decree on the day before New Year's Eve."

Xie Qingyao turned to look at Zhao Ying, who had remained silent since she asked to return the dowry: "I am going to the Duke of Zhen's Mansion to be hired. When will Auntie Huang return my mother's dowry to me?"

Zhao Ying has been so generous in recent years, naturally because of the dowry from the late queen.

Now, where will she go to collect the dowry for a while?

Looking at Zhao Ying's unsatisfactory appearance and looking at everyone in the hall, Xie Yan gave a solution:

"You must give Qingyao the full moon and hairpins. If there are any short ones, you can pay them back slowly later. Qingyao will definitely understand."

Zhao Ying bit the silver teeth into pieces and said with a forced smile:

"Qingyao, don't worry, I will definitely send these dowries to Qingyuan by the end of this year."

"There is no need to send her to Qingyuan. The day before the princess gets married, Gu will arrange for someone to pick her up at the palace gate."

The upright spine bent at this moment, and Xie Qingyao knelt down to Xie Yan who was on the throne: "I thank you for your kindness."

The change of this title and Xie Qingyao's kneeling directly turned all the ups and downs of Xie Yan's emotions today into comfort.

At this moment, Xie Yan felt that his position on the throne was more legitimate than ever.

With a smile on his lips and more kindness in his eyes, Xie Yan personally stepped down from the dragon chair and helped Xie Qingyao up:

"When Qingyao leaves the capital in the future, I will also give you a generous gift to ensure that you and Mingyue will be happy and prosperous for the rest of their lives."
