Chapter 839: Chapter 839: Matters Have Different Levels of Importance
Requesting to marry someone else’s granddaughter, he doesn’t want to be so aggressive, but seeing the Emperor’s stance, if he doesn’t, it seems the old Emperor could directly decide on someone for him.
He was interrupted twice, making the Emperor clearly displeased.
Yet, under the watchful eyes and considering Sikong Mo’s marriage, he can only hide his displeasure and ask, “Oh, everyone says the War King is heartless, but in my view, the War King is clearly a passionate person. I wonder which family’s daughter is so fortunate to catch the War King’s eye? Tell me, as long as she’s not too lacking and matches the status of the War Prince Residence, I will personally bestow the marriage today.”
The old Emperor doesn’t yet know how big a trap he’s laid for himself with this remark.
Sikong Mo had been waiting for this moment and immediately speaks, “To answer Your Majesty, the woman I fancy will definitely match the status of the War Prince Residence. She is…” Sikong Mo’s lips curl slowly, and those who understand know it’s a smile of happiness, “she is the eldest daughter of His Highness Duke Jing, Princess Changfu!”
With one sentence, it lands like a stone in everyone’s hearts.
Especially the old Emperor, almost spitting blood.
Duke Jing also gritted his teeth, secretly wishing he could stand up immediately and drag this guy outside for a good lesson, to see if he still has the audacity to covet his daughter!
A long silence, and everyone noticed the old Emperor’s displeasure, while the Crown Prince secretly clenched his fist.
Fourth Brother has always been skilled in rhetoric, always claiming no interest in the throne. But now, he’s silently allied with Sikong Mo.
Seeing Duke Jing’s expression, which looks like he’d devour Sikong Mo, the Crown Prince inwardly sneered.
The guy’s requesting to marry his daughter, doesn’t he know that? Yet this attitude, who is he trying to deceive?
No way, Sikong Mo absolutely can’t side with Fourth Brother. Otherwise, even with the Wang Family’s support, the Crown Prince position might not be safe.
Since childhood, he was wary of every prince but never guarded against Fourth Brother.
Because Fourth Brother shares the same mother with him and always acted rebelliously like a willful child, which made adults worry but seen as not potential.
It was all because of Master Ling Yuan’s words, about an unborn child, that made Father consider changing the Crown Prince.
But Fourth Brother initially rejected Father’s opinion to modify the Crown Prince position. Now, why is he secretly pulling in Sikong Mo?
The Crown Prince’s mind was a mix of conflicting emotions, but he could only forcefully stand up, “Father, I believe marrying Princess Changfu to the War King is inappropriate.”
Sikong Mo’s previously smiling eyes gradually turned cold. Although he anticipated their opposition, still at this moment, he felt a chill in his heart.
And, the old Emperor was initially troubled, but fortunately, the Crown Prince relieved him, allowing him to speak, “Why is it inappropriate? Crown Prince, elaborate.”
“To answer Father, from the perspective of filial piety…”
The Crown Prince prepared speeches in his heart for some time, but only managed to say these words before Sikong Mo interrupted him, “Your Majesty, my words aren’t finished. Please allow me to conclude, then let the Crown Prince speak.”
Sikong Mo’s tone was assertive, not one of negotiation.
It was because of this that made the old Emperor’s heart turn even colder, “War King, the Crown Prince is speaking, interrupting like this is not gentlemanly behavior.”
“Matters have degrees of urgency, I ask Your Majesty to pardon me.” Sikong Mo replied.
