Got the desired attitude.

I parted ways with Liu and went straight to the Emperor's place.

After all, the play in the palace isn't over yet.

Today, Xu Xiang didn't have a smooth time.

After the morning court session, he was held up by some affairs.

By the time I returned to the palace, he had just finished dealing with the matters and rushed over.

He came to see the Emperor.

I came to watch the excitement.

We met outside the hall, and Xu Xiang looked at me with eyes almost shooting out sparks.

Rarely, Xu Xiang, who usually doesn't show his emotions, also has such moments.

"Don't be angry for now."

I held Xu Xiang back and took out a pill from my sleeve pocket.

"You're getting old, so take a pill to calm down."

Xu Xiang looked at me with suspicion and, of course, didn't take it.

The hall door was tightly closed, and at this moment, voices of arguing could be heard from inside.

"Brother Emperor, I am your full-blooded sister! How can you marry me off to the Northern Wasteland?"

It was Xiao Jingqing's excited voice.

"I know! Don't shout so loudly. The whole palace can hear you."

Thanks, I've already heard it.

Xu Xiang widened his eyes, seemingly unable to comprehend this sentence.

"But you promised Yelv Han. I don't care; the Northern Wasteland is so far away, and I won't go. Don't forget, before the Empress Dowager passed away, how did you promise to take good care of me?"

Xiao Jingqing said, and then started sobbing.

"Rest assured, even if I agreed to Yelv Han, will your cheap maternal grandfather agree?"

"When the time comes, let him bring the civil officials to lodge a protest and hinder your marriage, won't that work? Those civil officials are experts at finding excuses."

"That's true. That old man loves me the most, and he would support you with all his might for my sake. Moreover, a distant marriage with a barbarian tribe? He absolutely won't agree."

Xu Xiang listened, obviously having trouble digesting it.

He took a deep breath.

I quickly stuffed the pill into his mouth.

It's not the time to completely break ties yet. I supported Xu Xiang, who was trembling, and left the palace.
