The most romantic little emperor

Seeing Dong Sicheng's serious assurance, Qin Hao's lips inadvertently raised a playful arc, and he couldn't help laughing in his heart. When he came to his senses, he slowly said: "Father-in-law, do you still remember the war with Liao two years ago?"

Dong Sicheng nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a deep recollection and emotion, and he waited quietly for Qin Hao's next words.

Qin Hao no longer concealed anything and told Dong Sicheng everything about Emperor Taizong's doubts and the results of Li Mu and others' secret investigation.

As Qin Hao's narration deepened, Dong Sicheng's face became a little solemn. The more he listened, the more frightened he became. He couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, are these evidences...conclusive?"

His voice trembled a little, as if he couldn't believe that the old man who was usually so secretive would do such a bold thing.

Based on the late emperor's doubts and the fact that he had arranged for people to conduct secret investigations for such a long time, he was not allowed to have any doubts.

After all, royal affairs should not be underestimated, and Emperor Taizong would never spend so much energy to secretly investigate a groundless rumor.

At this moment, Dong Sicheng had already believed that he, the emperor's son-in-law, would never fabricate such a serious matter to deceive him out of his own selfish desires.

The final conclusion was placed in front of Dong Sicheng: the Su family actually colluded with the Liao Kingdom and was willing to betray their own country and sell out the country's interests.

And all this has almost become an unchangeable fact.

As for the evidence of treason, is it important? Yes.

But in the face of imperial power, it seems not that important.

Because colluding with other countries is a challenge to the imperial power. Once targeted by the emperor, sooner or later you will be killed without a burial place.

Qin Hao shook his head lightly, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he sighed: "I lack the key evidence in my hands, so I can't take action against the Su family immediately."

"After all, colluding with an enemy country is a serious crime. If we act rashly, I'm afraid it will provoke resistance from the Su family. The civil and military officials in the court will not believe it easily, which will give them a chance to escape."

"Especially the cunning Su Zhengfang. If he escapes, the consequences will be disastrous."

Qin Hao raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination: "So, I have been forbearing. If I don't move, it's fine. If I move, I must strike with thunder and uproot the Su family to prevent future troubles."

"I will also make their crimes known to the world and nail them firmly to the pillar of shame in history, so that they will never be able to turn over."

As he spoke, Qin Hao's aura was as steady as a mountain, and his eyes were as cold as stars, making Dong Sicheng feel dazed and uneasy.

However, before Dong Sicheng could say anything, Qin Hao had already grasped his hand impatiently and said earnestly, "Father-in-law, I beg you to lend me a helping hand and work together to overthrow the powerful Su family."

Dong Sicheng was slightly startled, as if he was touched by Qin Hao's eagerness and sincerity. He sighed softly, cupped his hands, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, you are my son-in-law. I only have Mei'er as my daughter. If Your Majesty can take good care of her, I will serve Your Majesty wholeheartedly."

After hearing this, Qin Hao felt that the old man was cunning, but he remained calm on the surface. He just secretly complained: "This old fox is really taking advantage of others. For his precious daughter, he really took great pains!"

However, on second thought, if a person does not care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. It is reasonable for Dong Sicheng to have such an idea.

Now is the time to recruit people, and in order to stabilize Dong Sicheng, Qin Hao temporarily put aside his dissatisfaction.

Qin Hao looked at Dong Sicheng with a firm gaze and promised solemnly: "Father-in-law, Mei'er is my concubine who I married with a formal matchmaker. I will treat her sincerely and live up to her trust in my life."

"Once my father's mourning period is over, I will enthrone Mei'er as my imperial concubine and ensure that she enjoys endless wealth and glory. At the same time, I will also make the Dong family glorious because of her, so that all the descendants of the Dong family can bathe in this glory."

"This is my promise to Mei'er and also to your Dong family."

After hearing this, Dong Sicheng didn't show it on his face, but his heart sank slightly. He lowered his head so that Qin Hao couldn't see his emotions.

However, Dong Sicheng was extremely dissatisfied in his heart: "How much effort and hard work have I, Dong Sicheng, put into Daxia? Is the support of my Dong family only worth the title of imperial concubine?"

"My daughter wants the position of queen, but you, Qin Hao, are unwilling to grant her even the title of Imperial Consort. Do you really think that my Dong family is a soft persimmon that can be squeezed by anyone?"

However, this negative emotion was swept away. Dong Sicheng took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and showed a flattered expression on his face. He asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you want to enthrone Wang Yourong as the queen, or Zhu Qiqi?"

Qin Hao knew Dong Sicheng's concerns and speculations very well. He smiled slightly, shook his head and denied this speculation, with a bit of doting and indifference in his tone: "I have never thought of making anyone the queen."

"Mei'er, Rong'er, Qiqi, all three of them are treasures in my heart. I want to make them imperial concubines first. When one of them is lucky enough to give birth to a prince for me, I will make her the queen, and the second one will be the imperial concubine."

Dong Sicheng let out a long breath, feeling relieved.

It turns out that Qin Hao wanted the three women to compete fairly for the position of queen.

In this case, does Mei'er still have a chance?

However, just as Dong Sicheng was immersed in a brief relaxation, a shadow quietly shrouded his heart.

His proud daughter has developed feelings for Qin Feng and has not yet given her heart and soul to Qin Hao.

If Qin Hao knew this secret emotion, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the Dong family.

Even if Qin Hao has not yet seen through the secret, how can Mei'er's stubborn character change easily? When will she let go of her obsession with Qin Feng and accept Qin Hao?

If Mei'er is unwilling to sleep with Qin Hao, won't she be unable to give birth to a prince? Then won't the throne of the queen be gradually drifting away from Mei'er?

This was an unsolvable dead end, which plunged Dong Sicheng into deep distress.

How can he convince Mei'er to understand the importance of consummating her marriage with Qin Hao? And how can he make his stubborn daughter let go of her obsession for the sake of the family's future?

This became the most difficult problem in Dong Sicheng's mind.

If this approach doesn't work, the only option is to get rid of Wang Yourong according to the previous plan.

However, without Wang Yourong's competition, there is still Zhu Qiqi's existence. Does she have to be eliminated as well?

But behind Zhu Qiqi is the powerful Duke Zhu.
