"Men and women should not touch each other. For this action, Prince Regent, will you be responsible for my pearl?" The Emperor of Chu was aggressive, not caring about the occasion at all.

Everyone subconsciously held their breath and looked at Nie Bai. The latter's emotions did not change at all. Instead, he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Crown Prince Chu Mingkun, who had barely tidied up everything in the hall.

"Your Majesty should deal with the Crown Prince's affairs first. Once the Crown Prince behaves in broad daylight at a banquet, it is difficult for him to be the heir to the throne."

The Emperor of Chu was speechless, and then he turned his head to look at Chu Mingkun, whose face was full of spring, and it was obvious that he had been through something. Seeing so many people, his face became paler and paler, and he was panicking, "Father, I was plotted against!"

"Who?"

"Regent! Why are you plotting against this prince?" Chu Mingkun said angrily to Nie Bai.

Originally, he just came here to show concern and counsel his sister, but he didn't expect that when he just got to the back, he saw Hua Yue and Hua Xing'er, both of whom looked confused.

When Hua Xing'er saw Chu Mingkun, she immediately rushed over, showing her fear with tears in her eyes. On the other hand, Hua Yue, who was always weak, wanted to leave immediately.

However, at this moment a man in black appeared, and before Chu Mingkun could react, he fainted. When he woke up, he had already done something with Hua Xing'er!

After recounting the whole story, Chu Mingkun glared at the Regent King fiercely, "Although I didn't see the face of the man in black, I happened to see his badge, which is from the Regent King's Palace!"

Chu Mingkun knelt down in front of the Emperor Chu and said, "Father, please help me! The Regent King is so casual in plotting against the royal family. He deserves death!"

Every word was filled with grief and indignation, as if it contained a lot of anger, and the spearhead was immediately directed at Nie Bai.

The Emperor of Chu's eyes flickered, and he suddenly raised his hand to dismiss most of the people. "All of you go and make your own arrangements. All of you, follow me back to the palace!"

After saying this, when passing by Jun Feng, Emperor Chu paused for an inexplicable moment. He saw the graceful figure of the girl standing beside him. He suddenly had an idea, "Bai Yun, you go too!"

Bai Yun, who was watching the show, said: "...Yes."

Is there a thunderstorm?

Bai Yun was completely confused. She didn't understand why Emperor Chu still remembered her when she didn't do anything this time?

"Yun'er, he must have a conspiracy!" The system insisted. After all, a beast who casually gave his daughter away without any regret must have a dirty heart!

Jun Feng and the other man looked at each other, and both saw surprise and doubt in each other's eyes.

Jun Feng gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "Let's take it one step at a time. If it doesn't work, I will destroy the antidote and let them fight for it!"

"Don't act rashly for now, let's see what he wants to do." Jun Mo understood clearly that if Emperor Chu knew how beautiful Bai Yun was, he would definitely put all his plans on Bai Yun again.

But now Emperor Chu doesn't know it, but still pays attention to Bai Yun. This means that Emperor Chu wants to use Bai Yun, a princess.

It’s either a marriage arrangement or it’s a gift to win over others!

Is it used to threaten them?

Several people had different thoughts in their minds, and soon they followed the eunuchs and guards back to the palace.

When Bai Yun walked into the hall, she saw Chu Mingzhu and others who looked haggard.

Huayue was also waiting there with her head down? !

The Queen seemed to be asking something, but unfortunately Chu Mingzhu kept silent. She just lowered her head in silence and didn't even glance at Bai Yun and others when they came in.

"Nie Bai, I think your marriage with Mingzhu should be a done deal. Otherwise, it would be better to give a princess whose reputation has been ruined to someone else."

The cold voice of the Emperor Chu was like a hammer, hammering into everyone's heart, and it made Chu Mingzhu's heart ache. She didn't understand why her father who loved her so much seemed to have changed into a different person overnight, treating her like a commodity...

However, her biological mother drugged her and sent her to someone else. If Nie Bai had not taken advantage of the situation, she would have lost her innocence long ago!

Chu Mingzhu felt sad and tears were streaming down her face. At this moment, she thought of her sister's beautiful face and her smile...

She suddenly felt very scared. Her father was so heartless, what should her sister do?

After Emperor Chu finished speaking, he stared at Nie Bai.

This was the first time in all these years that he addressed this man directly. The other party was really too powerful. If he was not of legitimate blood and he was not poisoned, the throne would have been his long ago.

Countless conspiracies and tricks in the court could not make Nie Bai give up his power. Emperor Chu witnessed how people obsessed the empress dowager with her special physique. He cultivated Chu Mingzhu for so long just for this day!

“Lord God, please agree to it quickly. Do you want her to marry someone else?” The main system was so anxious that it couldn’t understand. This world was so “simple” and he had met his true love right at the beginning, so why was the Lord God still so hesitant?

Otherwise, I would have given birth to the child long ago!

Nie Bai raised his lips in a mocking arc, "Your Majesty, you may have forgotten that I am the regent. Wouldn't it mess up the generations if you let me marry the princess?"

Moreover, Nie Bai still couldn't make up his mind to give up Chu Mingzhu. He couldn't do it, but if he married someone, he would always feel empty in his heart.

The King of Chu's face darkened. "This world belongs to me. If I say yes, then yes. Besides, you can be a son-in-law with peace of mind. I will not treat you unfairly!"

When the time comes, first destroy him and then kill him!

Nie Bai burst into laughter. "What a dictatorial emperor! What if I don't want to?"

The King of Chu glared at Nie Bai, "Don't refuse my toast and drink the wine for punishment!"

At this time, Jun Feng, who had been silent all this time, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, marriage should be a matter of mutual consent. A forced marriage is not a happy one. Moreover, the Regent is not an ordinary minister. Your Majesty and I both know that some things cannot be forced."

Emperor Chu narrowed his eyes and looked at Jun Feng, "Don't be ungrateful. The thing in your hand was given to you by the late emperor. It should have belonged to me! Over the years, how many times have I helped you avoid assassinations?"

Nie Bai naturally hired someone to assassinate the Queen Mother in order to retrieve the antidote, but was stopped by the Emperor every time.

Jun Feng did know about this.

Jun Feng smiled slightly, "You are just doing this for yourself."

It's just to restrict the Regent.

This conversation seemed to have completely exposed the three parties' veil. The King of Chu no longer concealed his intention to seize power and stared at Nie Bai directly, "There is a high possibility of war on the border. The Regent is weak and sickly, so it would be better for him to become a prince consort and spend his remaining years in peace!"

He paused and smiled sarcastically, "Or do you think Mingzhu is not worthy of you?"

You could hear a pin drop in the hall, and no one said a word. However, Nie Bai looked at Chu Mingzhu, whose face was numb, and she was completely different from the bright princess she used to be.

Nie Bai suddenly felt a surge of heartache in his heart, and a memory flashed through his mind.

It seemed as if... a certain extremely beautiful person once made him feel so distressed.

Could that person really be Chu Mingzhu?

After a long time, Nie Bai curled the corners of his mouth, but ultimately did not agree.

Seeing this, the King of Chu sat down on the throne decadently, stroking the dragon chair that everyone looked up to, and the anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

The previous emperor destroyed the foundation of the country, allowing others to take advantage of it. I have been in charge for so many years and have worked diligently, but I am still being manipulated by others!

Suddenly, the Emperor of Chu thought for a moment, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "Since the Regent King dislikes it so much, then I will give the pearl to you directly. Queen, give the pearl a bath and send it to the Regent King's Palace!"

Emperor Chu spoke every word seriously, his eyes were so cold as if Chu Mingzhu was not his most beloved daughter, but a stranger.

Bai Yun was shocked. She didn't expect the King of Chu to be so ruthless. She also never expected that her mission would come so soon.

The next second, Emperor Chu called her name again, "Everyone else, leave, Bai Yun stay!"

When Chu Mingzhu heard Bai Yun's name, her eyes lit up. She looked up suddenly and saw Bai Yun in the corner.

She panicked and subconsciously tried to step forward, but the queen hugged her tightly, crying, "Mingzhu! Follow your mother!"

Chu Mingzhu looked back at her, and at that moment, she suddenly didn’t recognize her relatives who she had known for many years.

But there was a palace maid next to her who was trying to pull her away. She quickly thought of a way out and shouted, "Father! My brother's affairs have not been dealt with yet. We can't leave!"
