Chapter 930: 930 Has Arrived
"Oh?" The Empress displayed a look of confusion and asked, "Princess Changfu is the Emperor’s favorite, she cannot be neglected. Which young noble from an Aristocratic Family have you chosen? I must take a good look to see if he matches my granddaughter."
"Reporting to Mother, it is the War King, Sikong Mo." The Crown Princess Consort replied.
The Empress was shocked, "How presumptuous! Do you know that the Emperor has long rejected the War King’s proposal? By doing this, aren’t you disrespecting the Emperor?"
"I dare not." When the War King proposed, she was praying in a temple and naturally did not know this matter.
Moreover, no one mentioned this matter in her presence later. Otherwise, she would never have dared to bring it up so candidly in front of the Empress.
"This matter was also agreed upon by the Crown Prince. Otherwise, I would not have dared to make such a decision on my own." She knows that placing the responsibility on the Crown Prince, even if the Emperor and Empress are displeased, would not lead to a major conflict.
Over the years, she is well aware of the Emperor and Empress’s affection for the Crown Prince.
Indeed, hearing the Crown Prince’s approval calmed the Empress.
However, the old Emperor does not approve of the marriage between Ye Jiu and Sikong Mo, and naturally, she also dares not to relent.
"The Emperor has declared that there can be no possibility between Princess Changfu and the War King. The royal decree cannot be changed, keep this in mind. Also, regarding the Commandery Princess, if your intention truly is for her well-being, you should discourage her from making any lifelong regrettable decisions. Understand? As for the marriage, the Emperor and I will find a suitable match for her."
Until she left the Imperial Palace, the Crown Princess Consort remained bewildered.
Ye Jiu and the War King’s marriage is opposed by both the Emperor and Empress, yet Ye Jiu is solely devoted to the War King. What should be done?
Returning home, the Crown Prince and Consort began discussing this matter together.
At the same time, the old Emperor and Empress in the palace also started discussing this matter.
The Crown Prince entered the palace to meet the old Emperor, but the old Emperor was as adamant as when he insisted on the Crown Prince accepting a concubine. However, the Crown Prince’s decisions are not easily swayed.
Thus, they remain at an impasse.
Now, they are primarily waiting for the Sikong clan to arrive in the capital city before making a decision.
After nearly a month of exhausting travel, Sikong Yun outside the capital city sat in a carriage, occasionally hearing coughing from the carriage behind, deeply worried.
In recent years, Cheche’s health has worsened. Coincidentally, having received the Emperor’s summons, she also wants to take the opportunity to enter the capital and have a thorough check-up on Cheche’s health.
Not far away, Sikong Mo tucked away his longsword, surrounded by fallen corpses.
Si Bei stepped forward, saying, "Master, those sent by the Emperor to find the old Princess Consort have been dealt with."
"You return first, I will go to see her," Sikong Mo replied.
Si Bei frowned, "Master, let me accompany you."
"It’s not necessary." Sikong Mo said, not giving Si Bei a chance to object, and then left on his own.
Watching Sikong Mo’s departing figure with concern, Si Bei adhered to his duty to always obey orders, daring not overstep and naturally not daring to follow.
However, his worry was no less.
He knows that the Prince will certainly go to speak with the old Princess Consort, and regardless of the method, he will ensure she agrees to his and the Commandery Princess’s marriage before the Emperor.
When the words are spoken, they will be irrevocable, making it not so easy for the old Emperor to renege.
