The internal officials beside the King of Chu came to Concubine Yun's palace, "Please Princess Lan to take the order-"

Su Lan walked out of the room and saluted, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: I discussed with the ministers and negotiated with the south, and decided that Princess Lan was the princess of marriage, although I was reluctant, but I had no choice, after half a month, Princess Lan went to the south to marry, Fu Yu Chu State, Qin this"

What the? How could it be so fast? Why did you decide to marry the princess without any news?

Su Lan was a little surprised, she thought of the master's voice and smile, and the time when the breeze was accompanied by sweat, so relaxed......

"Princess Lan, still don't accept the order? The internal official watched Su Lan kneel on the ground motionless.

Su Lan looked at the holy decree with an uncertain look in his eyes, "Princess? The magistrate handed her the decree.

Several emotions flashed in Su Lan's eyes, and finally he reached out and took the holy decree "Erchen receives the decree"

"Her Royal Highness the princess, let's get ready to get married in the next few days," the internal official served, "The old slave has retired"

She had to figure out why everything had been finalized so quickly. She found a few people in the outer courtyard of the queen's palace, asked her to eavesdrop on the queen's words when she was cleaning, and bought off a few little eunuchs who served in the previous dynasty, and she herself disguised herself as an ordinary palace maid, only saying that she was from Concubine Qi's palace.

A little eunuch in the rockery was waiting for her, "What is the news?" She asked.

"The slave heard a little bit in the Ming Zheng Palace, because recently, Princess Lan's good name has been known to the people of the southern country, and the envoys of the southern country personally asked Princess Lan to go to marry, and more importantly, they seem to be very interested in Princess Lan's water system Xuanli."

"Okay, got it" She took out a slow money bag, "This is given to you by Concubine Qi, what to say and what not to say, you know"

"Yes, yes, the slave understands," the little eunuch took the money and walked away happily.

According to what she knew and the news from the queen's palace, it seemed that it was all a good thing for the queen.

It was really a good strategy to deliberately publicize her affairs and exhort the king of Chu to negotiate with the southern kingdom as soon as possible, so that the envoys would not leak a little news when they returned!

With her current strength, if she wants to resist, it is simply an egg hitting a stone, and she can only be forced to accept it! For now, I can only run away from marriage!

Su Lan didn't go to the Chu Courtyard today, but sneaked into the Chu Courtyard when it was almost evening, "Master, are you there" She came to Liu Zijin's bedroom.

"Why didn't the princess come to practice today, didn't she say that she would only take two days off" Liu Zijin frowned and looked at him.

"Master, didn't you say don't call me a princess?" She paused, and continued, "Master, have you heard about the marriage?" ”

"Hmm"

"That'...... Does the master know that the person who married me chose me? Su Lan looked at him, not wanting to miss any subtle look on his face.

"I know, if you want to use this as an excuse to prevaricate your cultivation today and in the future, I can't say anything about you."

Su Lan looked at Liu Zijin's face without much change, without the reluctance she imagined, not even the slightest.

She was a little disappointed in her heart, and she was extremely nervous, for Liu Zijin's reaction, and for what she was about to say.

"The master is really willing to marry me to the south"

"What are you talking about, marriage is for the sake of the country, and marriage is no longer a matter of children's affection"

Su Lan looked at Liu Zijin's slightly cold expression, and his heart twitched, "Master really thinks like this, isn't there a little reluctance to be a disciple?"

Liu Zijin met her deep eyes and said "yes" firmly

Su Lan looked at him ruthlessly, and he couldn't hold himself back, "Why won't the master be reluctant to be an apprentice, is it true that all these years of shouting and asking for warmth and accompanying each other are fake?" ”

"You are my student, I will naturally care about and take care of you, but there has never been any companionship for many years, those are just the friendship between master and apprentice!" Liu Zijin replied sharply.

"But you mean more than just a teacher and a student to me, I can feel it! You know that, right? You know I don't just think of you as a guru, you know I like you! ”

Su Lan's eyes were full of tears, but they didn't come out, she couldn't stand Liu Zijin's ruthlessness towards her, she couldn't control herself.

"Enough!" Liu Zijin shook off the hand that grabbed his sleeve, "Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing in the future, I'm just your master!" ”

"Can't say? Why can't I say that I don't want to marry at all, I like the master, I want to be with the master, we, we can run away...... No longer staying in the palace, okay? ”

She asked him in a low voice, "I know that the master actually likes me too, right?" ”

Liu Zijin looked at her expectant eyes, and felt a pain in his heart, "Don't be too careful, princess, I'm just a martial artist, and you are a princess, there is a huge difference in identity between you and me, I can't afford to be a princess like this, princess don't be obsessed!" ”

"I don't listen! I believe that the master will not be so affectionate, I just want to be with the master, I would rather not be this princess than get married! ”

Liu Zijin's eyes flickered, "No! There is no possibility between us! Go back, I'll treat you as if you haven't been to Chu Courtyard today."

"Why, we obviously have a friendship for each other, why do you still push me out of the door?"

"Go back, I don't want to see you again today" Liu Zijin turned around, leaving her with only a departing back, not as wide and warm as before, but giving her enough chill.

Su Lan left a little uneasy, but she didn't notice that someone had been eavesdropping on them outside their courtyard.

"Oh? Yin'er, what you said is true? The queen asked in surprise.

"Of course, Queen Mother, I can't lie to you, this Su Lan is so bold that he did such a shameless thing, it is simply an insult to my royal face! Since the establishment of the Chu Academy, there has never been a collusion between the heirs of the royal family and the masters of the Chu Academy! Su Yin said angrily, "Queen Mother, as soon as the son knows about it, he will tell you at this time, you have to treat this Su Lan well!" ”

She Su Yin was pressed by Su Lan everywhere in Chu Academy, and she was not as good as her academically, and she had been jealous of her for a long time. She is smart from Bingxue, but she is inferior to Su Lan everywhere, and of course she has to make good use of such a good handle this time.

Besides, she handed over this matter to her mother to deal with, instead of reporting Su Lan herself, otherwise she would be afraid that it would be bad for her reputation to expose this fornication by herself.

"Don't worry, the queen mother will let her marry Nanguo obediently, and it's best not to come back for the rest of her life!"

The queen and the original virtuous concubine are also not to deal with, she thinks that the virtuous concubine is favored by the king of Chu alone, and completely robs her of face as a queen, and now her daughter does not deal with her own daughter, she naturally will not let Su Lan go.

……

"Your Majesty, the concubine has come to give you white fungus lotus seed soup, this can relieve the heat" The queen took a bowl of soup and put it on the table.

"Come to me"

"The emperor has been looking much better recently, presumably the matter of the southern kingdom has been almost resolved, right?"

"It's true, but this southern country is too much, not only does my Chu country pay tribute to hundreds of horses every year, but also thousands of demon cores, it's just arrogant!"

The magic core is the core of the Demon Beast, and many things are indispensable for making weapons and improving the level of the spirit beast.

"Your Majesty don't worry too much, the tribute is only temporary, and in just a few years, we can regroup and fight against the southern kingdom."

The queen paused, and looked at the king of Chu with an embarrassed expression, "Your Majesty, the concubine has something that she can't decide, so she came to ask Your Majesty's opinion?" ”

"Oh? What's the matter, even the queen can't make up her mind? ”

"Although this Lan'er is the daughter of His Majesty, she lost her mother at an early age, because of her identity, so she didn't know how to arrange the dowry she brought over, I was afraid that there would be more discord and identity, and if there was less, it would ...... It seems that the Chu State is stingy, so the concubines don't know how to be good......"

"In this way, then think of a compromise method, pretend not to have too much, but there must be a few priceless things, since Rou'er left, I and Lan'er are no longer close, this time and kiss, if it weren't for the request from the southern side, I can't bear to marry her far away" King Chu said with some indifference.

In fact, since the virtuous concubine left, the king of Chu rarely saw Su Lan because of his busy government affairs, and the king of Chu saw Su Lan a few times, Su Lan was cold, and the king of Chu was not very happy to see her later, so he didn't get close to her.

Because he doesn't love it, even if his biological daughter wants to marry far away, he just pretends to be reluctant on the surface, but he doesn't feel much in his heart.

Moreover, the princess who marries far away will not be a good person on both sides after the war between the two countries, and there may be a risk of being a hostage.

"Yes, the concubine understands, Your Majesty treats Lan'er so well, I hope Lan'er can understand Your Majesty's hard work, don't ...... again" The queen suddenly paused when she said this, her expression was very unnatural, and her eyes flickered.

King Chu saw her reaction, "What's wrong, but what trouble did Lan'er get into?" ”

"This ...... There is no big trouble" The queen hurriedly refused, but the more she wanted to cover up, the more she told the king of Chu that there was a problem.

"It's not a big deal...... So what's the trouble? Tell me about it."

"This ...... The concubines didn't dare to say it, for fear of ruining the major event of the marriage between the two countries" The queen knelt down and replied, her voice seemed to tremble.

"You say yes, I forgive you for your innocence" The king of Chu helped her up.

"Yesterday, when the concubines passed by the imperial garden, they heard a few maidservants from the Chu courtyard chatting again, saying that they were ...... It is said that Princess Lan had an affair with her master Liu Zijin."

"What!" The king of Chu was shocked.

The concubine thought it was a rumor, so she sent those maidservants, and then felt that the matter was inappropriate, so she sent someone to investigate the matter, and the result was ...... It turned out to be true......"

"This rebel girl, are you going to be angry! The royal family has never had such a shameless princess! King Chu took a deep breath, "How is the queen going to deal with this time?" ”

"The concubine plans to expel Liu Zijin from the royal city, and besides, Lan'er is going to go to the south to marry soon, so it is really not appropriate to make a big move."

"Hmm...... Lan'er is also a member of the harem, so I'll leave this matter to you to deal with."

"Yes, the concubine retired", the king of Chu took his hand.

"Chun Tao, pass on the will of the palace, Liu Zijin, a person from Chu Yuan, colluded with the palace maid with the intention of defiling the palace! Punish this man with fifty rods and expel him from the royal city! ”

"Yes, slave and maid obey"

In the Chu courtyard, several eunuchs led a group of guards to break into the Chu courtyard and rushed to the small courtyard where Su Lan was.

"What are you doing here?" Su Lan looked at the leading eunuch, "Neiguan Li, this is the Chu Courtyard, what do you mean by bringing so many guards?" ”
