The emperor felt a headache coming on when he saw Shangguan Yun's stance. And at this moment, the Night Emperor stood up.

"Father, this son is willing to use the throne as a guarantee to request that you temporarily delay the execution of this matter." When Night Emperor Xiu's words came out, the ministers were so frightened that they almost cried.

The throne as a guarantee?

[What the hell is wrong with Third Marquis?

Are you kidding me?

This was not scientific!

Everyone was shocked, the empress even more so. Seeing the Night Emperor kneeling on the ground with a serious expression, the empress almost screamed out.

She had been waiting all these years for the Night Emperor to find some weakness, but he never got caught. He had gained the trust of the emperor all these years, and his position as the crown prince was in danger.

He really did not expect that such a carefree person would have such great influence.

The empress was tempted.

"Father, this son is also willing to promise." While the empress was still in a state of excitement, Night Emperor Shang also stepped forward.

This time, the empress really did want to clap and cheer.

The empress even had the heart to worship a goddess when she saw the two spikes in her eyes seeking death.

And unlike her, it was the Emperor.

The emperor was furious when he saw his two sons standing up for the daughter of a merchant, but he didn't show it on his face.

However, he had yet to make a decision.

On the other side, the Crown Princess who was crying and feeling sad, realized that she wouldn't be able to make it today's punishment.

The two princes, Night Emperor Shang and Night Emperor Xiu, guaranteed that the emperor would give them face. Even if he were to wake up, he would have a chance of surviving, much less being unconscious.

Rather than letting the Emperor make the first decision, she might as well take the initiative.

As she thought about this, Shangguan Yun also tremblingly knelt down and said weakly, "Imperial Father, since the two Princes have spoken like this, let's temporarily put this matter on hold."

Since the Crown Princess said so, the king wouldn't say anything. After all, Shui Yuehan still hadn't woken up yet.

"In that case, let's do it for the time being." As the Emperor finished speaking, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. From the looks of it, this matter was over.

However, there were those who expected this to be the case, while there were those who did not.

It was like looking at Wan'er.

Wan-Er's heart broke when she heard that Ye Xiao was going to let Shui Ruo go for now.

What a joke! She had overheard her father talking to someone last night. He said that the Crown Prince had returned. If the Crown Prince had returned, then there would be no hope for it!

Wan-Er was so anxious. She wanted to kill him right away, but she couldn't. Even the Crown Princess agreed.

When the court adjourned, the Crown Princess and Wan'er were called to the queen's chamber.

"Empress, are you really prepared to act like this for this matter?" His Highness will be back soon, if it's him. "

"It doesn't matter if His Highness comes back, he won't say anything." The empress cut off Wan'er's words, then looked at Shangguan Yun and said, "You did well today." If we can win this time's battle, then no matter if it's the Night Emperor, or even if he's the Night Emperor, he wouldn't be a match for the Crown Prince anymore. These two people were both stupid because of a woman. "Humph!"

The empress scoffed.

However, Shangguan Yun remained silent.

If she could, she really wanted to switch places with Shui Ruo. She didn't want this high position, but she couldn't get the position that her beloved loved one doted on. She wanted to be like Shui Ruo, making others feel sorry for her, and then make herself the one who was protected.

"What are you thinking?" The Queen was a little dissatisfied when she saw Shangguan Yun not reply.

When Shangguan Yun heard this, she smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just wondering, after His Highness returns, will he not hesitate to give up this good opportunity for the sake of a beauty, or will he give up a beauty for the sake of a river and mountain?"

"Humph!" Does such a thing even need to be thought about? As the crown prince, he naturally should have given up on that disaster for the sake of the mountains and rivers. Beautiful women can be found at any time, but there is only one mountain and river. " The empress's words were reasonable.

However, Shangguan Yun smiled helplessly.

If it was really like this, then she wouldn't have been ignored by the Crown Prince for so many years, and she wouldn't have been hated by him.

"Don't worry, no matter what the crown prince thinks, I will make him choose the mountains and rivers."

Seeing that Shangguan Yun was still worried, the Queen said coldly.

Hearing this, Shangguan Yun looked up helplessly and said, "I hope so."

"It is inevitable. Wan-Er was involved in this. Wan-Er represented the Xiang Family. How could the Crown Prince not care? "

The queen looked at Wan'er and said, "Yesterday you made a mistake, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Wan-Er, you did well this time, but remember. Just this once. "

The queen's words calmed Wan'er's heart. Looking at the empress, he said to Wan'er happily, "Many thanks, esteemed empress."

"Hmm. Wan'er should be getting married by now, right?"

The Queen casually said as she looked at Wan Er.

Shangguan Yun was the first to speak out. Marry?

She had fought with the empress for so many years that she naturally knew what the empress meant by her words.

Wan'er also had a guess. He hastened to reply, "To reply esteemed empress, Wan'er already has a lover."

"Oh? "Who is it?" The Queen asked curiously.

"Yes …" "It's King Jing." When he spoke of Night Emperor Shang to Wan'er, his face was flushed red.

When the empress and imperial concubine heard this, they were both stunned.

King Jing?

What state of mind did she have?

Was he really not a fool?

Talking to them about the King at this time?

Although she was a little surprised, Shangguan Yun was satisfied. No matter who it was, it didn't matter as long as it wasn't the crown prince.

The empress, on the other hand, was a little depressed. This little girl's brain isn't that bright, it would be perfect for her to be used as a puppet. Yet, she actually took a fancy to Night Emperor Shang?

What a joke! If the Crown Prince got the help of the Xiang Family, wouldn't it mean that the Crown Prince would have more powerful enemies?

The empress's face sank as she thought about it. "Shang'er is indeed a good child, but unfortunately, he is too proud and proud to be seen clearly. If we follow him, we will be at a disadvantage."

"It doesn't matter, Wan-Er is willing to suffer for him." Wan'er was still as happy as ever.

Shangguan Yun almost laughed out loud when she heard this. Wan-Er's mind was simple enough.

Unfortunately, the empress wouldn't allow her to marry King Jing. And Jing Wang also wouldn't like her.

Jing Wang was the kind of person who didn't care about matters like this, but for such a person to do what he did for that woman, he must be deeply in love with her.

She knew the pain of marrying a man with another woman in his heart.

And King Jing was not the Crown Prince. He wouldn't have accepted to marry Wan'er at all without his mother's order.

"Wan-Er is such a good girl." The Queen praised him insincerely. He was thinking about how to make Wan'er interested in the Crown Prince.

Although Shangguan Yun had some ability, a Shangguan family could not hold up a court.

Over here, the three women had their own thoughts. On the other side.

After the emperor had dismissed the emperor, he was summoned to drink tea.

In a private room on the second floor of the nearest teahouse, Night Emperor Shang sat on a couch as he looked playfully at the expressionless Emperor Ye Xiu who had taken off his mask. He mocked, "I never imagined that you would give up everything for a woman."

"Aren't you the same?" Night Emperor asked.

"I just found it very interesting to see you like this." Night Emperor Shang said stubbornly.

"Is that so?" Emperor Ye Xiu did not expose him, but he did not continue the conversation.

The Night Emperor cultivation wasn't very talkative, so the scene quickly turned awkward.

Seeing this awkward situation, the Night Emperor took a sip of tea and then lightly said, "Sometimes, being too serious can lead to injury."

"I'll return the same words to you." The Night Emperor didn't show any signs of weakness.

"Ye Huang Xiu, do you think you and her are really suitable? You don't have much chance of meeting her, do you? Did she really like you? Remember when you were married? She's more real in front of me. "

Night Emperor Shang spoke very quickly, each of his words making the Night Emperor Xiu extremely angry.

However, after Night Emperor Shang finished speaking, the Night Emperor actually calmed down.

His eyes were indifferent as he looked at the man and said, "This doesn't matter." As long as she is with me. "

"Tsk!" "How boring." Night Emperor Shang wrinkled his brow.

"I'm the same as her. I don't need to be interesting." The attitude of the Night Emperor was the same as before. But Night Emperor Shang could feel his confidence.

This man was very clear on what Shui Long was eyeing, just like how he had never made any changes to the water.

To help Shui Family so that Shui Family could help him. As for Shui Ruo, he could stay in the crown prince's mansion and watch him calmly without getting angry. Because he was sure that the water wouldn't betray him.

He would never have such a state of mind. If you love each other, you must never be apart.

Perhaps it was precisely this kind of attitude that frightened Shui Ruo?

Thinking to this point, Night Emperor Shang felt somewhat defeated.

"This matter is very difficult to deal with. Are you really not afraid that your trust in royal father will be damaged?"

Emperor Shang looked at him and said solemnly.

"What about you?" Night Emperor asked.

"I don't want the throne, this has nothing to do with me, right?"

Night Emperor Shang replied with an indifferent expression.

However, upon hearing the words of Emperor Shang, Emperor Ye Xiu's expression became increasingly indifferent.

"You're lying." The tone of Night Emperor Xiu's voice was light, but the words he spoke were straightforward.

"Huh?" Night Emperor was stunned.

"There is no one who hates royal father more than you, and there is also no one who wants the throne more than you. However, you must hide your strength deeper than any of us. Perhaps, the person who will obtain the throne in the end, will be you. "

As he finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Shang, waiting for his reply.

After hearing what the Night Emperor said, he remained silent for a long time.

He was like a child whose goal had been seen through, silent. He lowered his head, not letting anyone know what he was thinking.

But this person was not a child, but a smart man.

So after a while, he laughed. "Who knows? They all said that if you wanted to take the throne, they said that I wasn't interested in anything, but in reality, no one knew. It was just like how people always said that you were hot-tempered and would kill without blinking an eye. But in fact, you're not. Everyone has always said that I am easy-going, although occasionally I am humble, it is also because of my position. For these things, which one is true, and which is false, after a long time, I can't even tell myself. "

His words were very vague. When the Night Emperor heard this, he also fell silent.

The two of them slept as well as the others, and neither of them was any less scheming than the other. Normally, they were the same, and they rarely interacted with each other. At this moment, they were simply linked together because of a woman.

Everyone wanted to save her, no one wanted to give her up to someone else.

"It's getting late, it's time for me to go back. If I return too late, I'm afraid that she would be dissatisfied, right? " Night Emperor Shang's tone was very indifferent, somewhat dubious. After saying that, he looked at the Night Emperor, "Because of your character, and also because of your status, it's destined that you won't be able to accomplish what I want. So, give her to me as soon as possible. You and her won't be happy."

With that, Emperor Shang left.

Sitting alone in the teahouse, Emperor Ye Xiu took a sip of tea. He only felt that the tea was bitter and difficult to drink.

However, no one knew whether it was the tea or his heart that was truly bitter.

There was indeed a gap between Night Emperor Shang and Night Emperor cultivator. Every step that the Night Emperor took was arduous, and he had a sense of justice in his heart. Thus, before he did anything, he would think twice before acting. On the other hand, Night Emperor Shang was different.

He would only act according to his will. Whatever he wanted to do, he would do.

Just like this moment.
