After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

After seeing his wife and daughter leave, Ma Yu said, "Dad, will Zhang Ji take the bait?"

Duke Anguo sneered, "I don't know whether he will take the bait or not, but it's hard to say if he is paid to kill someone."

After saying that, Duke Anguo glanced at Ma Yu and said, "Tell Ah Shen and Yuanzhu District to go to the palace to find the little queen to find out about Ruoning."

Ma Yu was stunned when he heard this, "Dad, you don't believe what His Majesty said?"

Duke Anguo's eyes widened, "Of course I believe it."

Ma Yu scratched his head, "Then why do we need to ask the little queen for advice?"

Duke Anguo was very disappointed, "You are usually quite smart, aren't you? Why are you so stupid today?"

Ma Yu smiled awkwardly, "Dad, then tell me, if you believe in His Majesty, why do you want to get the little queen to tell you?"

Duke Anguo rolled his eyes at him, walked around with his hands behind his back, and said solemnly, "I believe in Your Majesty, but I don't believe in the Queen."

Duke Anguo turned his head sharply and said, "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts."

Seeing the look on his father-in-law's face and thinking about the little queen's behavior today, Ma Yu suddenly realized, "Dad, could it be that the one who saved Ruoning was the little queen's man?"

Duke Anguo nodded and rolled his eyes at Ma Yu again, "At least you are not that stupid."

"No matter what, Ruoning is our only child, and we must bring her back safely."

"But, Dad..." Ma Yu thought for a moment and asked, "The little queen won't tell us easily."

"Besides, aren't the young queen's dowry people all in the palace? What's going on outside the palace?"

"And today, His Majesty also intends to conceal it for the little queen."

Thinking of this, Ma Yu was terrified. "Could it be that the little queen has harmed His Majesty, and the His Majesty we see now is actually a puppet of the little queen?"

This made the Duke of Anguo so angry that he immediately slapped him in the face, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your Majesty is so wise and powerful, how could he be harmed by a little girl?"

Ma Yu covered his face with his hands, feeling aggrieved. Who else, nowadays, at such an old age as him, would be slapped by his own father-in-law?

Fortunately, there was no one else around, otherwise he would have lost all his face.

Duke Anguo rolled his eyes at Ma Yu again, "But you are right about one thing."

Ma Yu looked confused, and Duke Anguo simply stopped looking at him, otherwise he would have wanted to slap him, "The young queen's people should indeed be in the palace."

"Back then, I saw those people go in with my own eyes, and there has been no change in the past three years."

Ma Yu released the hand that was covering his face. "Dad, what you mean is that the little queen's people sneaked into Xuan State and hid outside the imperial capital before the marriage team arrived?"

Duke Anguo said unhappily, "What else? Is there any better explanation?"

Really, even after saying this, you are still confused. I have been a wise man all my life, but how come I end up with such a stupid son-in-law?

Ma Yu suddenly realized, "Could it be that this little queen was planning to assassinate Your Majesty from the beginning?"

"Then father, there is no time to lose. Let's report to His Majesty and ask him to be careful and take precautions."

Duke Anguo endured it again and again, but finally he couldn't help being so angry that he slapped him on the other side again. Now it was symmetrical.

Ma Yu felt even more aggrieved. Why was he beaten?

Duke Anguo was so angry that he was shaking. "Why did Ah Shen fall for you? Over the years, I told you so many times to think twice, but you just wouldn't listen and turned a deaf ear to me!"

Ma Yu said aggrievedly, "Dad, it was you who made the decision and forced Ah Shen to marry me."

Duke Anguo choked, it seemed that this was indeed the case, and it seemed that A Shen had escaped from marriage in the past!

Looking at the unshaven-bearded, pot-bellied man in front of him, Duke Anguo felt dizzy. He used to think he was a good-looking young man with a dignified appearance, but how come he looked like this now?

Duke Anguo decided to skip this topic, "Shut up, we are talking about Ruoning now."

Seeing that his father-in-law had stopped talking, Ma Yu also jumped over and asked, "So why don't we tell His Majesty?"

Duke Anguo said to himself, Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, life is like a play.

"Are you stupid? His Majesty obviously doesn't want us to know these things. Are you tired of living by rushing forward?"

Duke Anguo couldn't help but scold him, "I told you from the beginning that you should know what you should know and not know what you shouldn't know. Even if you know it, just pretend you don't know it. Why can't you remember it?"

Ma Yu hesitated and asked, "Since we are not supposed to know, why do we still have to try to get the little queen to tell us?"

Duke Anguo choked, it was indeed a unnecessary move. Under the current circumstances, they just had to pretend to be stupid and cooperate with His Majesty to catch Zhang Ji's weakness.

Besides, His Majesty also said that Ruoning should come to court and identify the perpetrators in person, so Ruoning will definitely be fine. Trying to get information from them at this time would make them seem to have bad intentions.

But the Duke of Anguo would not admit it. He glared at Ma Yu and slapped him on the back of his head. "You know it, but you're still asking? Then don't go."

"Dad, why did you hit my husband again?" Princess Ruian's angry voice came from outside the door.

Duke Anguo smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect that his daughter and granddaughter would see him scolding his son-in-law.

Princess Rui'an looked at Ma Yu's swollen face with pity, then touched the back of Ma Yu's head, feeling a little angry.

Her husband has been holding her in his hands and caring for her for more than 30 years. They have been in perfect harmony and have never had a quarrel. But just because she left for a while, she got beaten by her father?

Princess Rui'an's eyes were red, "Dad, if there is anything you can't say nicely, look at the beating my husband is going to give me."

Before Duke Anguo could speak, Ma Yu gently wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "It's my fault that I made Dad angry. Madam, don't cry."

The two of them hugged each other as if no one was around, as if they were the only ones left in the world.

Ma Yuanzhu, who was standing by, was reminded of his childhood memories when he saw this scene. It seemed that his father was often beaten by his grandfather. Every time he came to the Duke's Mansion, he would be covered in bruises.

As for my mother, she always protected my father, but my grandfather would beat her even harder after that.

Ma Yuanzhu smacked his lips. So many years have passed, and it's still like this?

Duke Anguo coughed lightly and called the two people back from their world of two.

"Didn't you two go to prepare? Why are you back?"

Princess Rui'an asked in confusion, "Dad, why don't we just leave these matters to the government? We are a duke's mansion after all, so we don't have to do the shopping and arrangements ourselves."

Oh, it is.

I was a little anxious just now and actually forgot about it.

Duke Anguo coughed again to cover up his embarrassment, "In this case, we must perform the show well!"

Princess Rui'an patted her chest and assured, "Don't worry, I promise it will be true."

Duke Anguo frowned. He knew how unreliable his daughter was, and he couldn't help but remind her again.

"This is a big deal. If we don't perform well, His Majesty won't be able to catch the person. If we don't catch the person, Ningning will never come back in this lifetime. You better cheer up."

After saying that, he felt something was wrong, "Cry louder, it would be best if you were heartbroken and listless."
