In his anger, Emperor Qing took a deep breath, calmed himself, and looked directly at Hong Sixiang:
"go with!"
"Summon Li Yunrui to the palace for an audience with the Emperor!!"
Upon hearing this, Hong Sixiang immediately bowed and accepted the order before leaving.
……
At the same time, Chen Qingfeng had already left the Hall of Mental Cultivation and was heading straight out of the palace.
He hadn't gone far when he suddenly stopped.
Upon closer inspection, two beautiful figures were waiting not far ahead.
Who else could it be but Lin Wan'er and Fan Ruoruo?
"Brother Qingfeng!"
Upon seeing Chen Qingfeng, Fan Ruoruo excitedly shouted out and unconsciously started running towards him.
Lin Wan'er noticed this and her expression became slightly complicated. She then stepped forward as well.
Before long, Fan Ruoruo rushed up to Chen Qingfeng and grabbed his arm.
"Brother Qingfeng!"
"What did His Majesty say to you when he kept you behind alone just now?"
Fan Ruoruo asked curiously.
Chen Qingfeng smiled slightly and replied:
"I thought you were more concerned about the arranged marriage."
Upon hearing Chen Qingfeng's words, Fan Ruoruo immediately blushed, her cheeks turning visibly red.
"Ruoruo, His Majesty has bestowed a marriage upon me, you, and Wan'er. What are your true thoughts?"
Upon hearing Chen Qingfeng's question, Fan Ruoruo pursed her lips and replied:
"Brother Qingfeng, I would be content if I could marry you."
"Besides, didn't I tell you this before?"
"Only a magnanimous attitude is the true essence."
"I think that in this matter, I, Liu Si 60, should have the magnanimity I should have!"
Chen Qingfeng smiled approvingly, thinking that Fan Ruoruo was truly understanding.
At this moment, Lin Wan'er had already moved closer.
She glanced at Chen Qingfeng with a slightly shy expression.
I originally thought that Emperor Qing's summons would only be to discuss Fan Xian's annulment of the engagement.
Unexpectedly, she was granted another marriage, and the person she was to marry was Chen Qingfeng, whom she had been longing for day and night.
Seeing Lin Wan'er's hesitant expression, Chen Qingfeng smiled calmly and spoke first:
"The county lord."
"I never expected His Majesty to bestow this marriage upon me in court today."
"Perhaps this matter makes you feel wronged, Princess!"
Upon hearing Chen Qingfeng's words, Lin Wan'er immediately became anxious and quickly replied:
"Young Master Chen, you...you mustn't misunderstand."
"Wan'er did not feel wronged."
"Although I am a princess, if we really want to get to the bottom of this, this identity is somewhat difficult to talk about."
"To be able to marry Young Master Chen is Wan'er's great fortune."
Chapter 59: Emperor Qing Confronts Li Yunrui! Me, lowly?! Your Majesty, how laughable!
After saying this, Lin Wan'er lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly at Chen Qingfeng.
I felt that it was a bit unladylike of me, a young woman, to say such a thing.
But she was afraid that if she didn't express her feelings, Chen Qingfeng might misunderstand.
This marriage bestowed upon them by Emperor Qing in the palace was quite to their liking.
Firstly, she broke off her engagement with Fan Xian, a complete stranger, and secondly, she betrothed her to Chen Qingfeng, the man she admired.
In a daze, Lin Wan'er seemed to feel that Heaven had not treated her unfairly.
Afterwards, Chen Qingfeng, Lin Wan'er, and Fan Ruoruo walked out of the palace.
No one spoke the rest of the way, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Upon arriving at the palace gates, Lin Wan'er bid farewell to Chen Qingfeng and Fan Ruoruo before departing in a carriage.
After Lin Wan'er left, Fan Ruoruo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ruoruo, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Qingfeng looked at Fan Ruoruo with curiosity.
Fan Ruoruo smiled slightly and replied:
"Brother Qingfeng, I was so nervous!"
"This is my first time meeting His Majesty."
"This trip to the palace was definitely worthwhile."
Fan Ruoruo said this with a look of deep emotion.
"Ruo Ruo, are you really not bothered by His Majesty's bestowal of a marriage?"
Suddenly, Chen Qingfeng asked this question.
Upon entering the palace, Emperor Qing unexpectedly bestowed a marriage upon him, Lin Wan'er, and Fan Ruoruo, which was something Chen Qingfeng had not anticipated.
However, after a little thought, Chen Qingfeng had already guessed Emperor Qing's intention.
This arranged marriage took place after Fan Xian broke off his engagement.
Emperor Qing's acceptance of Fan Xian's annulment of the engagement also meant that Fan Xian would lose his chance to control the Imperial Treasury.
Instead, he bestowed Lin Wan'er upon him in marriage, which shows that Emperor Qing wanted him to be the whetstone.
"That old fox really knows how to play his cards right."
"That's fine then. If there's any trouble in the future, just come at me."
Chen Qingfeng pondered silently.
At this moment, Fan Ruoruo smiled calmly and said:
"Brother Qingfeng, are you talking about His Majesty making you marry both me and Princess Wan'er at the same time?"
Chen Qingfeng regained his senses and nodded with a smile.
Earlier in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he was surprised to hear that Emperor Qing wanted to bestow both Fan Ruoruo and Lin Wan'er upon him in marriage.
To everyone's surprise, Lin Wan'er and Fan Ruoruo both agreed.
Seeing Chen Qingfeng nod, Fan Ruoruo smiled calmly and said:
"Brother Qingfeng!"
Did you think everything I said before was just empty talk?
"As I've said before, only a magnanimous attitude is the true essence."
"I can tell that Princess Wan'er also likes you, Brother Qingfeng!"
Chen Qingfeng smiled calmly and replied:
"If you can think that way, then I'll be relieved!"
Then, Chen Qingfeng and Fan Ruoruo got into the carriage.
After boarding the carriage, Chen Qingfeng fell into deep thought and began to plan his next move.
"Now that Fan Xian has entered the capital, shouldn't he be carrying that black leather suitcase with him?"
"Judging from the time, Wu Zhu shouldn't have told him about the key yet."
"In that case, I'll get my hands on the key first."
After a moment's thought, Chen Qingfeng made up his mind.
He knew this very well, though others might not.
Before Fan Xian entered the capital, Wu Zhu took out a box left by Ye Qingmei from the secret room.
Inside the box was a Barrett sniper rifle.
However, the key to open the box was with the Empress Dowager.
"It seems I'll have to make time to visit Hanguang Palace."
Just as Chen Qingfeng was lost in thought, Fan Ruoruo, who was sitting next to him, suddenly took his arm and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Ok?"
This sudden scene surprised Chen Qingfeng, who couldn't help but glance at Fan Ruoruo.
Fan Ruoruo blushed and asked in a low voice:
"Brother Qingfeng."
"Tonight, could you...could you take me to see the stars?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingfeng was taken aback.
Unexpectedly, Fan Ruoruo would suddenly make such a request.
"Does this girl really want to go see the stars?"
Thinking this to himself, Chen Qingfeng didn't say it aloud, but smiled and said:
