As soon as the arrogant order left, there was only one person left in the huge imperial study, and the emperor sat in front of several cases, his eyes closed, as if he was resting, but the feeling of depression in the empty room did not decrease but increased.

"Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince has arrived." With the announcement of the palace guards, the fifth prince Nancheng Wang strode into the room, and Emperor Ming suddenly opened his eyes, and before King Nancheng could make a move, Emperor Ming said to him: "No courtesy." Nancheng, I have something important to entrust to you. ”

"Father, please speak." Although King Nancheng had doubts, he was also secretly happy that his father reused him.

"Among my six sons, you are the only one who is the most stable, and I can only rest assured that this matter will be handed over to you. Do you understand? ”

King Nancheng knew in his heart that Emperor Ming's words were clearly praised, but in fact he was pressuring, if he did not succeed, he would lose the possibility of succession, "Father and emperor rest assured, sons and ministers must go all out." ”

"Good! I order you to visit Wei Kingdom secretly and submit the letter of alliance immediately. Emperor Ming ordered, then picked up the wooden box containing the book of the alliance and handed it to King Nancheng, "This is my own handwriting. ”

"Father, is this the decision to form an alliance?" King Nan Cheng asked.

"Exactly. But remember, don't let anyone know about this before you arrive in Weiguo. "Emperor Ming is solemn.

"Erchen understands." In fact, King Nancheng didn't know the ins and outs of the whole thing, but he just knew what he should do to satisfy his father, "The sons will lie that they occasionally feel cold, and they can't see people for half a month, and they will close the house to thank guests, creating the illusion that the sons and daughters are cultivating in the mansion." ”

"I really didn't misunderstand you," Emperor Ming nodded in satisfaction, and then said something more important, "Be sure to bring back the 'Twelve Secret Techniques'!" ”

King Nancheng was taken aback: "Father, the 'Twelve Secret Techniques' are the treasures of Weiguo Town, how can they be handed over to their sons?" ”

Emperor Ming snorted displeasedly: "Since you want to climb Nanming, how can you be stingy with secret techniques?" Emperor Ming turned around and walked towards a few cases as he spoke, and after a few steps, he suddenly turned around, smiled, confident, and said word by word, "Remember, Wei Guo is in a situation now, and this is the only way out for it." ”

"Erchen," King Nancheng said and knelt down, "I will not fail in my mission!" At this moment, his heart is full, and such an invincible father is the source of his peace of mind.

King Nancheng got up and said goodbye, and when he was about to go to the door, he only heard Emperor Ming's advice from afar, "After the secret technique is successful, don't stay, be careful of yourself, and rush back as soon as possible." ”

When King Nancheng heard that his father seemed to be concerned about himself, he was full of emotion in his heart, and he turned into a moment of stuckness, but he still turned his back to Emperor Ming, and did not dare to look back at how his father was concerned about him, bowed his head slightly, and walked out.

...

【Qi State, Ming Wangfu】

It is already a magnificent and colorful palace of the Ming Kingdom of Qi, but everyone is still busy running, just because tomorrow is the day when the three princesses Dongfang Mu and the seven princes of Qi are married.

King Ming sat alone on the stone steps in the courtyard, drinking a small pot, which was very incompatible with the joy of everyone.

"Your Highness, King Chen is coming." Come and report on a cold day.

King Ming was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled and said: "My father didn't even bother to preside over my wedding, and he sent Uncle Wang to do a perfunctory thing, I really don't care to him." King Ming opened his sleeves and wiped his mouth full of wine: "Let's go, greet Uncle Wang." "King Ming still has to take care of the etiquette in desperation, after all, King Chen is the closest elder to him.

Before the sedan chair arrived at the door, King Ming was already waiting in front of the house with a cold day, and just got off the sedan chair, King Ming immediately went to King Fuchen, "I have seen Uncle Wang." ”

"Eh, the prince and nephew are very polite, so that they can show their lives." King Chen smiled and led King Ming into the mansion, like an old father, and asked as he walked: "Tomorrow is your wedding day, so I have come to ask you, can you respond to this family business?" ”

"Uncle Wang's words, since it is a marriage between the two countries, how can it not be reasonable. After all, this king can't lose the face of the Qi country. King Ming's reply seemed to be full of sarcasm about himself, and sure enough, Feng Ling'er's words were still a pain that he couldn't erase.

King Chen suddenly became serious, and asked with a glance: "What this king asks is, are you willing to admit this family affair in your heart, it has nothing to do with state affairs, only your heart." ”

Wen Yihuan never thought that he would still hear the words 'only your heart' in this life.

"Sure enough, it is Uncle Wang who cares about me the most." King Ming replied, "The king's nephew is willing to marry the princess of the East." ”

"Is that true?" King Chen had long been ready to plead with the imperial brother to cancel the marriage at any time, but he didn't expect that King Ming would marry voluntarily.

"It's true." King Ming blurted out without thinking, even if he promised Dongfang Mu, he would not regret it, but King Ming also felt that he was not disgusted with tomorrow's wedding, but had some expectations.

Between the words, King Chen's uncle and nephew had already walked to the main hall, and King Chen motioned for King Ming to sit and continued: "In this case, then Uncle Wang will discuss with you about tomorrow's wedding, and you should also prepare early..."

After a while, after the matter was completed, King Chen left the Ming Palace, and the Ming King called Han Tian: "Is there any news from Ling'er?" ”

"Not yet." Cold Weather replied.

"Okay, follow me to the princess's mansion." King Ming suddenly realized that he was not in a hurry to find Ling'er at this time.

"No."

....

【Qi Kingdom, Princess Heqin Mansion】

"I didn't know that King Ming had arrived, and I forgave the East for not being able to greet him." Dongfang Mu saw that King Ming was here, and he felt a little uneasy, not knowing whether King Ming wanted to repentance and destroy the marriage.

"It doesn't matter." Seeing that she was a little nervous, King Ming thought it was funny, and didn't want to tell her the purpose of the trip so quickly.

"Your Highness, can you take a step to speak?" Dongfang Mu wanted to find out what he wanted.

"Okay." At this moment, King Ming's heart was full of joy, but he had to endure it, pretending to be careless, and followed Dongfang Mu into the hall. Fortunately, there is no General Wei Chi at this moment, otherwise I am afraid that I would have to worry about entering the palace alone.

Every step Dongfang Mu took at the moment, he was thinking about how to deal with King Ming's "repentance", and finally couldn't help but speak: "Your Highness, but do you want to regret it?" ”

"Huh?" King Ming raised his eyebrows lightly, playing with the leaves, pretending not to understand.

"Tomorrow's big wedding, if you regret it today, it's still too late." Dongfang Mu understands the character of King Ming, and takes retreat as advance.

"If this king regrets his marriage at this time, will the princess of the East be reluctant?" King Ming raised his eyes slightly and moved closer.

"There is no reluctance, there are regrets." Dongfang Mu dodged King Ming's gaze.

"If this king has promised you, how can he not believe his word?" King Ming stared at Dongfang Mu at the moment, even if this woman only talked about political affairs and had nothing to do with Fengyue, such a beautiful woman was not something he was willing to let go. I had to secretly sigh that I was affectionate, but the beauty had no intention, she only cared about the covenant between the two countries, but she was ruthless.

"Sure enough, King Ming kept his promise, and Dongfang was grateful." Dongfang Mu, Queen Xie Ming, continued to ask, "I don't know what King Ming is doing on this trip?" ”

King Ming thought about it carefully, and then realized that he didn't know why he was here, so he had to reply: "Tomorrow's wedding, I came to see how you are ready?" ”

"Everything is in order." Dongfang Mu replied, at this moment she finally relaxed.

"That..." King Ming was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do at this moment, "Then the king is inconvenient to disturb more, so he will leave." After speaking, the king turned around and left, secretly annoyed that he had nothing to say.

"Your Royal Highness," Dongfang Mu really wanted to leave him at this moment to help him choose tomorrow's suit, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know how to speak, in case this move annoyed King Ming and affected the marriage, she would be Donglin's sinner. Dongfang Mu hesitated, "Your Highness should rest earlier." ”

King Ming stopped and nodded, and then walked away...
