Chapter 288: Like a Man's Back

"Third brother, you are so likable, even this princess of Nanchu, who is thousands of miles away, actually has a love for you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

After listening to what Yuan Peng said, he was standing at the head of the imperial family, and the prince with a strange look suddenly turned sideways to look at Gao Heng, and said sarcastically in a tone that was neither yin nor yang.

"Father, this matter is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and we must not be rash, which side is the truth, and it will be clear if we send someone to get the holy decree drawn up by our father that day. ā€

Seeing that the situation had become more and more unfavorable to him, Gao Heng finally couldn't bear it, directly ignored the prince's provocation, and walked up to Emperor Zhou with a solemn face to make a request.

Seeing Gao Heng come forward and mention the holy decree about harmony, Yuan Xi and Yuan Peng glanced at each other vigilantly, but there was no panic in their eyes, but there was a trace of pride that was difficult to catch.

"This decree is an important object, and it must have entered Beijing with the princess, and I would like to ask the princess, where is this decree at this time?"

Gao Heng said and looked at Princess Yuanxi with an indifferent expression, but saw Yuan Peng pretending to be displeased and twisted the corners of his eyebrows, and said in a slightly gloomy tone: "What does His Royal Highness King Yan mean by this?

"Your Royal Highness King Heng, don't misunderstand, this king has no such intention. ā€

In the face of Yuan Peng's questioning, Gao Heng behaved very indifferently, but there was a clear sense of unquestionable and resistance in his words.

"It's just that this king just said that this matter is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and it must not be decided lightly. It is an indisputable fact that Duke Yuan Xi mainly married my sixth brother, and everyone in the Manchu Dynasty knew that this holy decree was also sent by the emperor to escort him to Chu, and the king of Chu personally received the decree. What His Royal Highness and the princess said just now clearly meant that their father had made a mistake when drafting this holy decree, do you think that the emperor of my Great Zhou would make such a low-level mistake?"

When Gao Heng said the last half of the sentence, his tone was aggravated, and an aggressive light was projected in his deep eyes.

At the same time, the corners of Emperor Zhou's mouth also flashed with a happy and relieved smile.

Because what Gao Heng said at the moment was exactly what he was thinking.

It's just that as the king of a country on high above, if he unceremoniously said these words in front of these two Chu people, it would always be inappropriate, and it would affect the peaceful relations between the two countries that had been maintained with great difficulty.

But since he is the emperor, he naturally attaches the most importance to face, and now when he heard that these two outsiders dared to question his decision and will in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, he naturally couldn't swallow this breath in his heart.

Therefore, Gao Heng's appearance not only extinguished the prestige of the two brothers and sisters in a timely manner, but also saved face for himself.

After all, not only these two Chu people, but even the entire Southern Chu were also afraid of his Great Zhou.

"His Royal Highness King Yan also misunderstood, we definitely didn't mean that. It's just that my father has always loved this daughter the most, and naturally hopes that she can marry a wishful husband who sincerely wishes, otherwise I am not willing to let her marry someone else, and my brother is also the same as my father thinks, if there is any offense, please forgive your majesty. ā€

Yuan Peng saw that Gao Heng's tone was grim, as if he was reproachful, and hurriedly pretended to be nervous and bowed to Emperor Zhou to ask for guilt.

It's just that everyone present knows that when he suddenly mentioned the king of Chu at this time, he obviously wanted to use his father to suppress it, so as to remind these Zhou people present that they were not able to fool around at will.

At this time, Princess Yuanxi also looked sad when she saw this, and choked up in a tone as if she had been wronged in all ways: "Your Majesty, if the courtiers didn't know that the person she was going to marry was His Royal Highness King Yan, how could she fight with His Royal Highness at the city gate so disregarding the face of her daughter's family." Because... It is precisely because the courtiers know that he is the future husband of the courtiers and have a close relationship, so they dare to be so presumptuous. ā€

"Sister, don't be sad. His Royal Highness King Yan is right, the so-called empty words are unfounded, since everyone wants to see the holy decree, then please send someone to the Changyang Palace where you have just rested to fetch it, the white paper and black words are the most distinct, and it is good to solve the doubts in your hearts. ā€

Yuan Peng softly comforted Princess Yuan Xi with a sad face, which made her gradually calm down and nodded obediently.

And looking at the calm and calm posture of the brother and sister Yuan Peng and Princess Yuan Xi, Gao Heng faintly had a bad premonition in his heart.

The two of them look like they are at the moment, as if they know that no matter how things develop, they will always be invincible.

But what he was even more certain of was that Emperor Zhou would not make such a foolish mistake no matter what.

At this point, Gao Heng could clearly perceive that these two people must have colluded in advance, so they could be so unhurried, and the answers were like streams, pointing to the deer as a horse in front of everyone, reversing black and white.

Cheng Jinzhi obviously noticed this, and the whole person seemed very uneasy, for fear that the holy decree would really pass, and even more afraid that his husband would be coerced, so he had to marry this pretentious and hateful woman in front of him.

She let out a heavy sigh of relief, and the fists in her hands creaked even more, and for a moment, they were literally close to exploding on the spot.

At this moment, Emperor Zhou also knew that how the two sides were arguing on this hall was just honing their skills, and a slight difference would affect the relationship between the two countries.

Up to now, only by coming up with real evidence can we calm down this unexpected turmoil and calm things down as soon as possible.

So he sent a few royal guards to Changyang Palace to get the holy decree on the matter of harmony, and specially asked his cronies and eunuchs to go with him, just in case.

The waiting time is always the longest and most tormenting, even with Gao Heng's company and comfort, Cheng Jinzhi still can't calm down the ups and downs in his heart.

Especially when she saw Princess Yuanxi's expression of ambition, her heart trembled even more, and she gritted her teeth angrily.

She could even feel the gaze projected from all directions, with a variety of different emotional colors.

There is no doubt that in their eyes at the moment, he is a pitiful existence worthy of sympathy.

Maybe they think that even the status of this Princess Yan is probably crumbling, right?

After the half-pillar of incense, the vital decree was finally sent into the main hall.

When the eunuchs beside Emperor Zhou presented the holy decree written on the brocade silk with both hands, Cheng Jinzhi could almost clearly hear the tense and dull heartbeat in his chest.

Time seemed to slow down a lot in this instant.

I saw Emperor Zhou take the brocade silk and unfold the scroll, staring at the words and sentences written by himself on it seriously.

Suddenly, I saw him suddenly frown and stop his gaze, and gradually, he showed a look of disbelief and great surprise.
