After the divorce, the four big guys became my servants

On the way back, the three people surrounded Zhaoge and asked him what happened for a long time.

Zhao Ge awkwardly told them the whole story, saying it was just a misunderstanding.

But Meng Ruyuan asked suspiciously, "Isn't this right? If it was a misunderstanding, couldn't you and the Marquis just explain it directly? Why does the little girl still think you are husband and wife?"

"Unless Miss, you didn't explain at all!" Mo Huan added.

Jiang Zhiyun was also worried: "Zhao Ge, are you and the Marquis...really together?"

Zhao Ge was helpless, "Really not. The girl left before I had the chance to explain."

"It's not too late. It's just a matter of saying a word."

"That's right, miss, don't lie to us."

"..."

Zhao Ge found that she couldn't explain it clearly, but Yuan Jinglie was leisurely riding a horse outside, chatting and laughing with Jiang Bohu.

She was a little indignant.

The trouble was caused by Yuan Jinglie, but she was the one who had to explain it here in a hurry.

She simply gave up and covered her ears: "Yes, it's just as you imagined! Don't ask me anymore!"

"..."

"what!"

"My God!"

"Oh my god!"

……

The carriage stopped in front of Jiang's house. Yuan Jinglie dismounted and waited beside the carriage, wanting to help Zhaoge down.

However, the beautiful girl bent down and lifted the curtain, but ignored his attentive hand, glared at him, and ran away in a huff.

Yuan Jinglie was a little confused, and looked at Meng Ruyuan who came down second, "What happened to Sister?"

Meng Ruyuan looked at him with a complicated expression and shook his head.

"…Why are you shaking your head? What happened to my sister?"

"It's not that my sister is wrong." Meng Ruyuan sighed, "I just don't know how to call you 'brother-in-law' in the future."

Yuan Jinglie was stunned: "Ah?"

Just as I was about to ask again, Meng Ruyuan left.

Mo Huan helped Jiang Zhiyun down, and both of them looked like they wanted to say something but hesitated.

"My Lord, before this, I always thought that you and Zhaoge had a deep relationship like siblings, but I didn't expect that you had that kind of 'deep relationship'."

Jiang Zhiyun advised with concern like every elder: "Zhao Ge was hurt in her previous relationship, you must treat her well."

Mo Huan then said, "Young Master Yuan, I never thought that I would have to call you 'son-in-law' in the future..."

"You also know the sufferings that the young lady has endured in the past. Since the young lady is willing to be with you, you must not let her down!"

After saying that, the two of them left.

Yuan Jinglie: “…”

Wait? Did they all misunderstand something?

Just as I was about to catch up to explain, a woman's voice came from behind me.

"Congratulations, my Lord. It turns out you are together with Miss Zhaoge."

Yuan Jinglie turned around and saw Liu Luoshu, wearing a light blue dress, standing behind him with a smile.

"Why is the princess here?" He was quite surprised, and then realized what she said, and his ears blushed, "No, they misunderstood."

Although he was secretly happy in his heart, it was not good for the girl to have such a thing spread.

Liu Luoshu just smiled and said, "But the Marquis does like Miss Zhaoge, doesn't he?"

Yuan Jinglie did not deny it, but lowered his eyes, "Princess, did you come here today just to tell me this?"

"Of course not." Liu Luoshu approached him, as if he had made some important decision, "Your Majesty should also know that recently the ministers in the court wrote to His Majesty, requesting the appointment of a queen, right?"

"...But Your Majesty is not very willing." At this point, she looked disappointed, "Can the Marquis persuade Your Majesty?"

"I'm afraid the princess has found the wrong person. After all, this is His Majesty's family affair." Yuan Jinglie told the truth.

In fact, he had already guessed Liu Luoshu's purpose today.

Because the Empress Dowager's favorite candidate for queen was Liu Luoshu.

If Your Majesty accepts the memorial from the ministers, he will most likely listen to the Empress Dowager and make Liu Luoshu the empress.

Liu Luoshu pursed her lips and looked at him, "My Lord, are you unwilling to help me?"

Yuan Jinglie said: "The princess overestimates me. The ministers have petitioned and failed to make Your Majesty give in. What can I do to change that?"

Liu Luoshu stared at him, said nothing more, and just nodded slightly.

"Farewell."

Yuan Jinglie watched her disappearing back and sighed softly.

If possible, he would certainly like His Majesty to establish a queen as soon as possible.

But His Majesty is suspicious, and his feelings for Sister are obvious. He has tested him and Sister before. If he proposes to make Liu Luoshu the Queen, His Majesty will definitely suspect that he has selfish motives.

By then, it might end up harming my sister.

...

royal palace.

After meeting Yuan Jinglie and returning, Liu Luoshu stared blankly at the forsythia flowers under the eaves, feeling sad.

I finally mustered up the courage to seek help, but was rejected so ruthlessly.

But she was unwilling to accept that she had been with Yu Wenlian for so long, but in the end she still couldn't stand by his side.

Her spies in Qiankun Palace once told her that His Majesty seemed to have an unusual attitude towards the Imperial Master of Shangcheng.

She was not surprised, as she could see it when Meng Zhaoge was still the Princess of Jing.

But Meng Zhaoge had been married to the traitor Yuwen Qi, so how could she possibly marry the emperor as a concubine? Or even as the empress?

Liu Luoshu thought of something and stood up suddenly.

"Let's go to Qiankun Palace."

In the Qiankun Hall, Yuwen Qi was reviewing memorials as usual.

So when Liu Luoshu came in, he didn't even raise his head, but just perfunctorily asked her to get up.

It's so cold.

Liu Luoshu hid the disappointment in his eyes and smiled: "Your Majesty is so busy every day, you still need to make sure to rest."

Yu Wenlian's ears were callused from listening to these words, but he said nothing.

"If there is someone by your side, the Empress Dowager will feel at ease." Liu Luoshu looked at his expression and continued.

"Are you here to lobby as well? I don't want to consider the matter of establishing a queen or consort for the time being."

Yuwen Lian was getting a little impatient.

One by one, everyone is saying this. This is his family affair. Why does he need outsiders to point fingers at him?

Seeing his tone getting colder, Liu Luoshu's heart trembled, "Your Majesty must be annoyed by these words."

"It was today that I saw Marquis Wu'an and Miss Zhaoge traveling together. They were such an enviable couple, and then I realized that there seemed to be someone missing from His Majesty's side... Luo Shu was talking too much."

Yu Wenlian's fingers holding the memorial stiffened and his thin eyelids lifted, as sharp as a blade being drawn from its sheath.

"What did you say?"

She...and Marquis Wu'an.

Liu Luoshu pretended not to understand and continued, "Yes, Miss Zhaoge went out with Marquis Wu'an today. I even heard Miss Zhaoge's family teasing them."

"I never expected that the two of them actually had a secret relationship."

These words hit Yu Wenlian's heart hard.

In an unknown corner, he almost broke the letter in his hand.

OK, good.

He had been on high alert, but he had never expected that his most trusted minister would have an affair with the woman he loved right under his nose.

As soon as Liu Luoshu left, Yuwen Lian immediately sent for Wei Tingfeng.

"I have something I need you to do."
