Chapter 90: Marriage

The empress saw Xiahou Qian's weakness and looked at him: "Answer me, have you already married a wife and have two children?"

Xiahou Qian knelt down upright, and now, he knew that he couldn't hide it: "Back to Your Majesty, it's true."

"Presumptuous!"

The empress immediately became angry: "Xiahou Qian, why did you hide the truth, I still want you to be the prince's husband, I didn't expect that you really disappointed me, I was almost kept in the dark by you."

"It's just that you're a widower, and you still have two children who want to be worthy of the prince on your terms? You are guilty of deceit."

"Please forgive your sins, ...... Your Majesty."

"Alright."

The empress's nose moved slightly, and her chest rose and fell, interrupting Xiahou Qian's words.

"I've given you a chance, remember, it's the only chance."

After speaking, the empress waved her hand and someone handed Xia Houqian a medicine bag, Xiahou Qian's hand trembled and took it, just looking at the white paper bag, he knew that it was not a good thing.

"Now I almost know that I intend to make you the prince's wife, if I change the choice at this time will cause suspicion, it is better to get by, I can tolerate you who once married a wife, but those two children must not be kept."

"This bag is the purest poison in the world, it is colorless and tasteless when mixed into tea and food, as long as it is stained with a little bit of it, it will die of poison within an hour, it can make your two children walk without pain."

"I will send someone to keep an eye on you, and if you see the bodies of your two children in an hour's time, I will continue to marry you and the prince, otherwise you and your two children will be questioned, understand?"

"Minister...... Understood."

Xiahou Qian walked heavily, sullenly on the way to reply, and as soon as he stepped into the door, the two children pounced.

"Daddy~"

Xia Houqian looked down at the two children who were hugging his thighs, smiled bitterly, and touched his head at the two children: "Good."

At this moment, Xiahou Qian turned his head and saw that the people sent by the empress had arrived, and they were guarding the door like a solemn sculpture.

Xia Houqian clenched the white paper bag in his hand, which was soaked with his sweat.

Now it was meal, Xia Houqian carried the two children into the living room, the living room was full of colorful and fragrant meals, as well as the squirrel mandarin fish that the two children liked to eat.

Xia Houqian saw that the two children were dirty and dusty, so he asked the maid to take the two children down to freshen up first.

He took the opportunity to take out the white paper bag and put the powder in the paper bag on top of the squirrel mandarin fish.

The two children washed their hands and faces and were brought back again, the powder having completely melted into the squirrel mandarin fish.

The two children looked excited, as if they were full of energy.

At this time, Xiahou Qian was always unhappy.

Just when the two children were about to hold the chopsticks and eat the fish and meat, suddenly, Xia Houqian blocked the chopsticks of the two children with chopsticks.

"Wait a minute."

"Daddy, why wait?"

The two children blinked, a little puzzled.

Xiahou Qian's tone was filled with infinite melancholy: "Feng'er, Yun'er, Daddy likes to eat fish, is this plate of fish for Daddy to eat?"

"Okay."

The two children were still very well-behaved and sensible, and pushed the plate to Xia Houqian.

The chopsticks in Xia Houqian's hand were obviously trembling, and he picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth.

The atmosphere was obviously wrong, the two children didn't understand, and one of them was still asking, "Dad, is the fish delicious?"

"It's delicious, it's delicious......"

Xia Houqian ate a piece, and then clamped another piece, until the entire plate of squirrel mandarin fish was eaten.

Only then did the two children realize that something was wrong, and walked up to Xia Houqian: "Daddy, why are you crying?"

At this moment, Xiahou Qian coughed violently, clutched his chest and spit out a mouthful of black blood.

The person sent by the empress felt that it was almost over,

wanted to accept the bodies of the two children, so he broke into Xiahou Qian's mansion.

Who knows, but saw the scene of Xiahou Qian clutching his chest and vomiting blood.

"Oh no! Your Highness, it's not good!"

Little Joe barged in.

"What's wrong?"

Blossom looked up.

Xiao Qiao said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty didn't intend to let Lord Xiahou be your husband, but Your Majesty didn't know where to know that Lord Xiahou had married and had two children, so he immediately gave Lord Xiahou a package of poison and forced Lord Xiahou to kill the two children."

"As a result, Lord Xiahou ate the bag of poison himself!"

"What! Xiahou took poison?"

Hua Luo stood up suddenly: "Then how is he now?"

"Luckily, it was discovered in time." Xiao Qiao hurriedly said, "The person has been rescued."

Hua Luo clenched her fists: "How can the queen mother do this, I didn't even think about killing these two children."

"No, I can't let the queen mother do this anymore, I'll go find her now!"

"Hey, Your Highness!"

Hua Luo walked quickly to the empress's bedroom, and asked with a slash on her face, "Queen Mother, why did you let Xiahou kill his two children with his own hands?"

"You know it all?"

The empress looked very calm: "Yes, I ordered him to get rid of these two children, otherwise the father and son will all die."

"You!" Hua Luo let out a sigh of relief, and said angrily, "I know about Xiahou's wife, and I acquiesce, if the queen mother wants to be held accountable, even me will be held accountable."

"Xiahou is my person, I didn't say anything, the queen mother, you intervened in it, maybe your hand was too long."

"You mean I'm nosy?"

The empress looked at the flower in front of her and became a little angry: "Prince, you shouted in front of me for a man, what kind of system did you become, it seems that I am too used to you, and those royal brothers and sisters of yours have never dared to speak to me like this!"

"The queen mother's words are wrong." Hua Luo was also very angry. Speak without being too polite. "Xiahou is my man. If I can't even protect my own people, what kind of prince am I, whether these two children are killed or kept, I don't need the queen mother to worry about it more, and I ask the queen mother not to make her own decisions."

"Presumptuous!"

As soon as the empress slapped the table, Hua Luo snorted coldly, shook her long hair and turned her head away.

"Prince, you are really becoming more and more lawless, you stop me, stop!"

The empress raised the decibels, and the average person was already trembling with fright, and Hua Luo was indifferent and left in style.

"I'm so angry, I'm so angry!"

The empress exerted force in her hands, only to hear a click, and her nails, which were maintained like onion pipes, were cut off by her.

"Your Majesty, dissipate your breath."

"It's so damning! How do you let me deflat?"

With a wave of her hand, the four treasures of the study on the table were all waved to the ground, and it was a mess.

At this moment, the official of the Ministry of Rites came over: "Your Majesty, all the ministers have arrived, and they are waiting for you to announce the future husband of the crown prince."

Lady Guo suggested, "Your Majesty, if you really mind that Lord Xiahou has two children now, this matter will be postponed."

"What's there to postpone."

The empress calmed her breath: "Anyway, I think about her and she doesn't appreciate it, why should I bother with all my efforts in vain, how can I love it, today I must announce the candidate for the crown prince's wife, once the dust settles on this matter, I don't bother to bother more, I still want to live a few more years."

"Now that the ministers are here, let's go."

When the empress came outside, sure enough, all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had arrived, including the princes who had paid tribute.

Of course, these princes have come to take their leave, the tributes have been counted, and it is time for them to return to the states.

The prime minister stepped forward first and asked, "I don't know who Your Majesty wants to be the prince's wife."

Although there have been rumors recently that it is Xiahou Qian, at this time, the empress needs to say the name of that person herself

Word.

"I've got the right person in mind."

Suddenly, the empress's eyes were like torches, looking at Yan Wujian among the princes, and pointing at Yan Wujian with her armored hand: "Just him."

"Huh? This ......."

The ministers were in an uproar, and their eyes were all focused on Yan Wuji, and Yan Wujian himself was stunned.

"You, come forward."

The empress hooked her hand towards Yan Wuji.

It wasn't until Yan Wuyi stabbed Yan Wuji's arm that Yan Wujian reacted, walked out of the ranks of the princes, knelt on the ground, and held his back straight.

Only then did the empress begin to seriously examine Yan Wuji's appearance: "Why are you covering your face, is there something on the lower half of your face, and you can't see people?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister had a pox attack a while ago, his appearance was untidy, and he was not suitable to face the king, so he covered his face in desperation."

"So what's going on now?"

"It's almost better." Yan Wujian replied, his heart up and down.

"Then remove the curtain and let me take a good look at you."

"Yes."

Yan Wuqian agreed softly, took off the curtain on his face, slowly raised his head, and his thick curly eyelashes also lifted up, revealing a pair of radiant eyes, and the upturned eyes had a feeling of boundless spring.

His black hair is as black and shiny as fine satin, his lips are beautiful, his lips are bright and red, like rose petals, and his overall bone is also very beautiful, and he has a kind of half-breed taste, which can give people a stunning feeling.

Even the most plain white clothes can wear the taste of flowers on him.

"Yes, your lips are red and your teeth are white, and your appearance is very beautiful, it's just you, I remember that your name is Yan Wuji?"

"Yes." Yan Wuji's voice was a little deeper.

"I have announced that Yan Wujian is the future prince and husband, and Qin Tianjian has begun to calculate the auspicious day, and the time will be postponed until at least two years later, and the Ministry of Rites is now preparing for the big wedding, and everything must be solemn and proper."

Qin Tianjian hurriedly agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Over there, Hua Luo was angry, and Zhan Xing handed Hua Luo a cup of tea: "Okay, don't be angry Ah Luo, I sometimes really doubt how you grew up so safely, if I were Your Majesty, you dare to scare your queen mother like this, I want to strangle you, you can be angry here."

"Are you elbowing out?" Hua Luo looked at Zhanxing with a cold expression.

Zhan Xing was frozen by the ice in Hua Luo's eyes, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't I advise you, don't be like Your Majesty."

"She's always been so fond of making her own decisions, as long as I'm here, she won't want to succeed."

"Well, it's a bit hanging, you're all in trouble with Your Majesty, in case Your Majesty ......."

"Ah Luo, big news! BIG NEWS!"

Zhaoyue shouted as she ran.

"Something happened again." Zhanxing asked.

Zhao Yue was panting, and her face turned pale: "Your Majesty has selected your fiancée, and you have already let the Ministry of Rites do it, and it is not Lord Xiahou."

"Who's that.".

Zhan Xing asked for Hua Luo.

Hua Luo also looked at Zhao Yue, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Ugh...... What's that called?" Zhao Yue thought for a long time and patted her head, "Oh! His name is Yan Wuji!"

"Yan Wuji? I've never heard of this man."
