Chapter 101: Xuan Yuan Che Seeks Marriage

" Su Qingying finally let out a sigh of relief. It seems she won!At once, she frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, are you not afraid of me I am someone w...As expected, Su Qingying's willow eyebrows arched, and a sly expression appeared on her stunning face. "Oh! You have potential! Tell me, what stage have you two reached behind my back"

"Princess, what are you saying I'm not listening to you anymore!" Xi'er's face was now flushed red with shame. She stomped her foot and turned away, running out. Even from afar, one could still hear Su Qingying's mocking laughter.

"Alas, women are not to be kept once they reach adulthood!" Su Qingying sighed with a smile, then continued closing her eyes and sleeping.

Just as Xuanyuan Lichen finished his court duties, he immediately went to the Imperial Study to review memorials. His red imperial brush constantly sketched on the memorials.

A young eunuch from outside the hall bowed his head as he entered to report, "Your Majesty, Prince Rui is requesting an audience."

Huan Yuan Luo Chen raised his head from the towering edict, nodding almost imperceptibly, "Let him in."

"Your servant obeys."

Xuan Yuan Che strode in, with each step closer to the inner hall, his heart sank further.

Walking over to Emperor XuanYuan LuoChen, he knelt slightly and said, "Your Majesty, my brother has something to report."

"Oh" Xuan Yuan Luo Chen put down his writing brush, his cold eyes swept over lightly, amber eyes flickered, and there was a bad premonition in his heart.

"My younger brother wishes to request the Emperor's blessing for his marriage." Taking a deep breath, Xuan Yuan Feng looked up at Xuan Yuan Luo Chen's eyes and spoke with determination.

Huan Yuan Luo Chen's face was left with only a chill, "You want to marry Lan Xin Yao"

Xuan Yuan Che said faintly, "It's precisely Lan Xin Yao, the young lady of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuan Luo Chen was furious. His voice shook the little palace maid, Dian Fuzi, with fear. "Disrespectful! Do you know what the consequences of this will be You can marry any woman you desire, and I will grant your wish, but Blue Xin Yao is absolutely forbidden! I will never consent to a marriage between the two of you. Give up this foolish idea!"

"Big Brother," Xuan Yuan Che was puzzled, "why does my older brother have such a prejudice against Lan Xin Yao"

"It's probably too late." Just at that moment, Xuan Yuan Mo strode in from outside the hall with an ink-painted fan in his hand. His usually playful face was now gloomy, without a trace of a smile.

Xuan Yuan Luo Chen looked at his serious expression and couldn't help but solemnly said, "Mo, what do you mean What do you mean by late"

"All of you, go down and stand guard at the door. Do not enter without an order." Xuan Yuan Mo was in no hurry to tell Xuan Yuan Luo Chen. Instead, he dismissed all the palace maids and eunuchs inside the hall.

Seeing him so cautious, Xuen Yuan Luocheng's premonition grew stronger and stronger.

When only the three of them remained in the hall, Xuan Yuan Mo finally spoke in a heavy voice: “Big brother, Xiao Qi has already consummated his marriage with Lan Xin Yao. In the end, we are a step too late.”

"With that, he glared at Xuan Yuan Che with a look of disappointment and annoyance, even more resentful of Lan Bo's cunning, "Little Seven, you are so naive!"

"What did you say!" Xuan Yuan Luo Chen's face was contorted with rage, his veins bulging on his hands as his amber eyes glared fiercely at Xuan Yuan Che.

"Imperial Brother, you sent people to watch me" Xuen Yuan Che looked at them incredulously.

"Little Seven, don't blame your elder brother, I'm doing this for your own good. You are honest and straightforward, easily taken advantage of. We really had no other choice." Looking at the furious Xuan Yuan Luo Chen, Xuan Yuan Mo opened his mouth helplessly.

With a long sigh, he continued, “Don't you find anything strange about last night We found aphrodisiacs in the drinks you had last night, and even hallucination incense in Lan Xinyao’s room. This whole thing was clearly a carefully planned trap for you.”

It was strange how they were so focused on Jun Li Ye that they overlooked Lan Bo, giving him the opportunity to slip away. By the time they realized what had happened, it was too late; he had already gotten away. They had missed their chance.

They were well-prepared, but they didn't expect Lan Bo to be so ruthless as soon as he made a move. They were caught off guard and realized that experience truly matters!

"How is that possible How could Xinyáo do such things She..." For what Xuanyuan Mo said, Xuanyuan Che had no idea, nor did he believe that the gentle and considerate Lan Xinyáo would do such a thing.

But thinking of his blank memory last night, Xuanyuan Che suddenly didn't dare to be sure.

"Things have come to this, do you understand now" Xuan Yuan Luo Chen's chest heaved up and down with anger.

Xuan Yuan Che wasn't stupid, with a little thought he could understand the implication. What he didn't understand now was simply unwilling to believe it. All this time Lan Xin Yao's gentleness towards him had been a disguise It would take such deep scheming!

“Your Highness, even if this is a scheme, my younger brother still says the same thing. Please, Your Highness, grant us marriage.” Even if this matter was intentional, he had defiled Lan Xin Yao's body after all. This was a fact, and he could not shirk his responsibility for her.

Seeing him so uncooperative, Xuan Yuan Luo Chen was so angry that he slammed his fist heavily on the desk. His blood rushed up, and he was almost driven to madness!

"You! Hmph, stubborn as ever! Scram! I don't want to see you!"

"Brother Emperor, if you don't agree today, I shall kneel outside the Imperial Study until you do!" Xuan Yuan Che said with a cold gaze, showing no sign of compromise.

"Good, very good! You've grown wings and dare to defy me Next you'll be pointing your sword at me, won't you" Hearing this, Xuan Yuan Luo Chen suddenly stood up, sweeping the scrolls off his desk with a furious gesture. He was clearly beyond angry.

Xuan Yuan Mo's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

"My younger brother dares not." Xuan Yuan Che knelt straight before him, fearless and unwavering.

“Fine, since you insist on kneeling, I won’t stop you. Go ahead! Let me tell you, no matter what, I will not marry you off. Get that through your head!” Xuan Yuan Luo Chen felt a sweet metallic taste in his throat. He gritted his teeth, suppressing the blood welling up inside him. His temples throbbed with pain.

"Thank you, brother. My younger brother takes his leave." Xuan Yuan Feng glanced at Xuan Yuan Luo Chen with a slight guilt, then resolutely turned and knelt outside the hall.

The summer sky is like a baby face, changing abruptly. Just moments ago it was blazing sun, now the clouds have gathered thick and dark.

A bolt of lightning slashed across the sky, followed by a deafening clap of thunder. Rain swirled down from the heavens.

Left Xiangfu.

Since parting last night, Lan Xinyáo hadn't seen Rong Yue again. After waiting for a long time in the living room, she still didn't see Rong Yue return. Lan Xinyáo couldn't help but worry. Ignoring the heavy rain, she took Xia Qing to Rong Yue's study and asked, "Where is my senior brother"

Blue Heart Yao was well-loved in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, and everyone there respected her greatly.

The guard watching over the study saw Lan Xinyáo and respectfully said, "Returning to Miss, Young Master left the study shortly after returning last night in a hurry and hasn't been back since."

On hearing this, Situ Wan'er's beautiful eyes lifted, "Oh Did senior brother visit the study last night"

"Yes, Miss. When the master returned earlier, he seemed very anxious. Afterward, he appeared extremely joyful. I don't know where the master is now," the guard said.

"With such heavy rain, where would Xiangye go I wonder if he even brought an umbrella." Si Tu Wan'er raised her eyes to look at the torrential rain outside the eaves. Her eyes and brows couldn't help but be tinged with a trace of melancholy. Since Rong Yue wasn't here, staying in the study felt pointless. She ordered, "Remember to notify me when Shixiong returns."

Yes, Miss.in disbelief, his beautiful phoenix eyes staring at her intently without blinking. 。Five years ago What did she mean by that Wasn't it Xinyáo who saved him five years ago How could she know so much a...
