"Sit down and tell me what's going on."

"Uncle is right. We knew that if King Xuan was going to take action, he would definitely attack Father, so we had already replaced the ordinary guards around Father with masters who were secretly trained.

Although King Xuan has always been by my father's side, if a real fight breaks out, my father's safety will be in danger.

Later, Huayin accidentally learned that there was a sorcerer from Jiaozhi Kingdom by the King Xuan's side, and she told the King of Jin the news immediately.

We must not know much about sorcerers, so King Jin quickly sent people to Jiaozhi to find a powerful sorcerer to deal with this matter.

It’s a pity that the retired master from Jiaozhi was not found at that time, but fortunately, while looking for him, I learned some things that can restrain the sorcerer.

Prince Jin has already exchanged these things for items that his father would use daily. If a sorcerer really attacks his father, he will either not be able to hurt him or the damage will be greatly reduced.

But I never thought that King Xuan would use this magic on Hua Yin. To be honest, she was implicated by me."

Speaking of this, Yan Qi's face was full of shame.

"Huayin had people around her to protect her, but they were unable to prevent King Xuan from resorting to such despicable tactics."

Minister Zhao heard from Shen Bi that Zhao Huayin had a maid with great martial arts skills, who was sent to Zhao Huayin by Yan Qi.

“It’s not your fault. King Xuan had evil intentions and secretly planned so many despicable things.

However, I, Yinyin, am just a girl in the boudoir, and have nothing to do with the disputes in the court. Why would King Xuan attack her, and use such a vicious method? Could it be because of the old grudge between Yu Ying'er and Yinyin?"

"Not really."

Yan Qi shook his head.

“King Xuan wanted to take revenge on me.

When the news of Ganzhou spread to the capital, King Xuan knew that the situation was hopeless. He hated me for destroying the Xie family and leaving him without support, so he wanted to make me feel the pain of losing my beloved.

Yan Qi did not tell the king what he had found out in Ganzhou. There was another reason why King Xuan hated him, probably because of jealousy.

“King Xuan recognized the guards I placed beside Hua Yin and guessed my feelings for Hua Yin. He thought that since he couldn’t gain the throne by attacking my father, he might as well use them against me.

Huayin has guards around her and rarely goes out. I haven't found out how King Xuan attacked her yet. I will come to apologize to my uncle after I find out the truth."

Yan Qi spoke so sincerely, how could Minister Zhao not be satisfied?

"What are you talking about apologizing for? I've heard from my wife that Huayin was injured and it was you who found someone to save her. I haven't slept for several days. How can I blame you for this?

I was away from home these few days, and thanks to your support, Yinyin has woken up now, and the matter is finally over."

At this point, Minister Zhao changed the subject.

"Now that the incident has passed and things have calmed down outside, and Yinyin hasn't gotten married yet, it's not right for the prince to continue living in our house."

Yan Qi knew what Minister Zhao meant, so he stood up and expressed his opinion.

"Uncle, I have admired Huayin for a long time, and what I said to aunt that day was from the heart. I would like to ask you two elders to marry Huayin to be my princess. I hope you can help me."

Minister Zhao stood up, stroking his beard.

"Okay! With a husband like you who dares to act and take responsibility, I'm sure my Yinyin won't be wronged. Just choose an auspicious day to come to my house!"

Yan Qi didn't expect things to go so smoothly, but Minister Zhao agreed without any hesitation.

Then I heard from Minister Zhao,

"My wife and I only have this one daughter, and our only hope is that she can be happy and contented. As long as she likes, we will let her do whatever she wants. Since she gave you the Mingyue Jue left by her grandfather, as a father, I will naturally follow her wishes."

It turned out to be the case.

"Hua Yin and I thank uncle for his help. Please rest assured, uncle, I will treat her well in the future."

Minister Zhao looked at Yan Qi in front of him and became more and more satisfied.

Most of the rumors outside were about how unkind Yan Qi was and how cruel he was in his rule.

But Minister Zhao had been in the court for a long time, so how could he not know that Yan Qi was the most upright person in dealing with things? It was because of him managing the city defense camp that the capital and the court were so peaceful.

Even the Jingzhaoyin Yamen and the Ministry of Justice were very idle, with only a few important cases to be handled in a year.

Such drastic measures are necessary to control corrupt officials and those who violate discipline.

Moreover, although many people said that Yan Qi was cold and harsh, no one ever said that he abused his power and oppressed the people, because those who were punished by Yan Qi deserved it.

All the ministers are aware of the current emperor, who is of mediocre qualifications and has no talent to be a king.

It’s just that there is a prime minister in the court, and the old prime minister has always led the cabinet to handle state affairs without any mistakes.

Ministers with disloyal intentions could not escape the suppression of the city defense camp, which is why the court could remain peaceful for so many years.

Fortunately, the Prime Minister has been devoted to the court and has worked diligently for many years without any second thoughts, and Yan Qi has always been fair in his dealings.

But now that there is the incident with King Xuan, I don’t know if His Majesty will have other thoughts. After all, there are two such outstanding princes here.

Thinking of this, for the sake of his daughter's future happiness, Minister Zhao had to tentatively mention it.

"If there is a future, I hope that the prince will remember what I said today and not let Yinyin down. Since you are asking to marry me, you must respect me."

Minister Zhao was testing Yan Qi to see if he had the idea of ​​competing for that position. If so, he hoped that he would not let Zhao Huayin down.

Yan Qi spoke solemnly,

"Since my uncle has promised Huayin to me today, I will tell him the truth. I am not interested in this. If my eighth brother needs my assistance in the future, I will stay in the court.

If the world is peaceful, I would be more than happy to be a rich prince and live a good life with Huayin. So please rest assured that the person by my side is Huayin, and there will only be Huayin.

Regardless of whether I will serve in the court or not, I will never marry anyone else. "

After hearing what Yan Qi said, Minister Zhao was even more satisfied.

Because there was only Shen Bi in his backyard, and Shen Bi was injured in his early years, so he only had one daughter, Zhao Huayin.

Although they had few children, the couple lived in harmony and love for decades, and Minister Zhao felt that there was nothing wrong with this.

But considering that Yan Qi is of royal blood after all, it would be unacceptable if he only had one wife. That's why she hoped that no matter how many wives he married, he would treat Zhao Huayin well.

I didn't expect Yan Qi to make such a statement that he would never marry anyone else except Zhao Huayin.

It seems that this son-in-law was indeed the right choice. In addition to his noble status, he is also very heroic and extraordinary, and is a perfect match for his daughter.

After Minister Zhao and Yan Qi understood everything clearly, they were completely relieved and said "OK" several times in a row.

"With your words, my wife and I are relieved."

Minister Zhao relaxed and sat on the chair, Yan Qi stood up and said goodbye.

"Uncle has not been able to rest since he came back. Rest now. I will go see Huayin and then go back home to prepare. I will choose an auspicious day as soon as possible to propose marriage!"
