Did the Prime Minister Attend Court Today? - Chapter 73

At that moment, they were unaware that Zhao Xian was already aware of all these plans.

Sitting in her study, Zhao Xian held a secret letter delivered by the shadow guards and a smile curved on her lips.

“The protagonist’s aura is quite strong, but if he wants my life, his skills are insufficient. Ignore him, let him do as he pleases. I want to see what kind of tricks he can come up with,” Zhao Xian said, waving her hand. “Such a boring world, it needs some drama; otherwise, it would be too dull.”

“Yes…” The shadow guard replied and then instantly disappeared.

However, it seemed that Wen Chuan, that woman, had met her match.

Did they develop feelings through their conflicts?

Indeed, the Princess of An only had one son, and since her son insisted on marrying a mere deputy minister of the Ministry of Justice, she had no choice but to submit a plea for forgiveness. Thus, this grand wife-selection event ended without a resolution.

The little Empress’s plans were thwarted, and she probably felt like vomiting blood now!

…

That morning at the imperial court…

“Your Majesty, it’s absolutely unacceptable for the Prince of An to marry the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Your Majesty, please reconsider.” This marriage is not insignificant; it’s equivalent to a dowry of 100,000 troops.

How could this be good? It was equivalent to giving a quarter of Feng Yan Country’s power to an insignificant outsider.

The little Empress was indeed so angry that she could spit blood, but no one could see it on her face.

“The prince of An County requests an audience…”

Hearing the voice, the Empress spoke, “Summon…”

“Announcing the prince of An County for an audience…”

As the female official’s voice fell, a young man in a flamboyant red robe strode in. The long whip at his waist was particularly eye-catching.

“The Prince of An County pays homage to Her Majesty the Empress. Long live Her Majesty…”

“The young prince, please rise…” Although the young Empress felt a gnawing frustration, there’s nothing she could do.

Feng You spoke calmly, “I wonder why the Prince has come here today?”

“It’s like this, today I’ve come to bid farewell to Your Majesty and all the other esteemed individuals here. I am grateful for your assistance with my wedding affairs, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I have found my true love. Therefore, I am here to seek Your Majesty’s permission to leave,” the Prince of An said with a bow.

The Empress’s heart was bleeding. Why, why, despite being the ruler, did no one take her seriously? She clenched her fists unconsciously.

“The Princess of An is my mother’s sworn sister, and you were like a brother to me. Since you’ve come all this way, it’s only natural to stay a few more days. You’ve been to the palace before when you were a child. Someone, take the Prince to rest first. We’ll discuss his departure later.” Letting them leave like this, she was unwilling. Did they think she would easily allow this marriage? No, she would find a way to stop the wedding before it happened.

“Yes, Your Majesty… Sorry to bother you.” The Prince of An County hid his frown. It might be as his mother had guessed, this marriage might not be so easy to accomplish. It seemed that the Empress wasn’t planning on letting him go so easily now.

It’s best for her not to play any tricks.

Although he was a man, he was no weaker than a woman, and he didn’t need to be inferior to others, because he was the only heir of the Princess of An and would inherit his mother’s position in the future.

So, if anyone dared to mess with him, he wouldn’t care whether she was the Empress or not. Don’t blame him for being rude!

Zhao Xian raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes. Despite everything, she still had a fondness for Wen Chuan. In this situation, it was only natural for her to give a helping hand and prevent any interference that might lead to their separation.

After the morning court, Zhao Xian and her entourage left…

That night, as Feng You was on her way back to the Empress’s palace, she suddenly saw a man dressed as a servant dancing on the distant lawn.
