The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Chapter 999: Two Brothers, No Marriage Possibility

Wanyan Gu bowed his head and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, I came here with my father's personal letter, hoping to establish a good relationship with a good woman from Zhongyue. A marriage between the two countries will also be of great benefit to the friendly diplomatic relations between the two countries."

This statement made it clear that his purpose was only to form an alliance, and not for anything else. What spies, what assassins, what Wanyan Sen, these things had nothing to do with him, Wanyan Gu.

Wanyan Gu paused for a moment and continued seriously, "Your Majesty, Prince Sen's affairs really have nothing to do with me. Since I came to Zhongyue Capital, except for that one time when I went out of the city to the royal hunting ground, I have never been out since then."

"My prince is just visiting the capital to learn about its customs and practices. Earlier, my prince and the Crown Prince had toured the capital to see its sights."

He believed that Emperor Zhongyue would always send someone to monitor his actions. He did not leave the city and did not show any signs of having secret contact with Wanyan Sen. So no matter how you looked at it, what Wanyan Sen did had nothing to do with him.

After hearing this, Emperor Haolian looked at Wanyan Gu coldly.

What Wanyan Gu said was true. The Dragon Staff Guards had never found Wanyan Gu leaving the city. In addition, Wanyan Gu did not cause any major disturbance during his stay in the capital. Wanyan Sen was even more low-key than Bei Liyi. In recent days, he rarely even went out of the gate of the villa.

Haolian Di snorted coldly and said in a cold voice: "As for your marriage! I'm afraid there is no hope for it."

Wanyan Gu's face turned pale. This was the first time that Emperor Haolian expressed directly and clearly that he did not approve of his request for marriage.

He pursed his lips and whispered, "My little prince understands. Everything is arranged by His Majesty."

Nowadays, he is likely to be implicated by his own countrymen. It is good enough that he can protect himself. He is still thinking about marriage. What's the point of marriage if he loses his life!

The emperor sat upright, with no intention of offering Wanyan Gu a seat. He spoke again on the topic of marriage: "As for your brother Wanyan Sen's request for marriage, in my opinion, there is no solution!"

Wanyan Sen had caused such a big trouble, and he still wanted a decent young man to marry him. It was simply a daydream.

Wanyan Guxin was startled and said in agreement: "Everything is up to your majesty."

The emperor did not respond and drank his tea. The fragrance of the tea was faint, and the fragrance of the best top-grade tea spread throughout the palace.

After drinking a cup of warm tea, the emperor looked up at Wanyan Gu.

Afterwards, the emperor began to question Wanyan Gu again, but Wanyan Gu had no other obvious expression except a pale and slightly panicked face, as if he knew nothing about Wanyan Sen and the Nantai assassins.

The emperor could not get any useful information from Wanyan Gu, so he started chatting with him again, asking about some matters of the Nantai royal family. However, his questions were not obvious, just like chatting about family matters, and he extracted some useful information from Wanyan Gu's answers.

Of course, Wanyan Gu was not a stupid prince and would not tell the emperor everything. But in order to prove his innocence and for his own predicament, he still revealed some information.

Firstly, the Sixth Prince of Nantai had always been low-key in the court, but in the past two years, he had been acting more high-profile. Especially this year, he was more active in the court, and at one point, he was more popular than the Crown Prince Wanyan Xu.

Secondly, Wanyan Gu had met Wanyan Sen when he left Nantai a few months ago. During the few months he had been in Zhongyue, he had only heard about Wanyan Sen's movements in the correspondence with his father.

However, he did not expect that Wanyan Sen would suddenly come to Zhongyue, and that a new group of spies had been sent to infiltrate Zhongyue in the past two months. He also did not know that Wanyan Sen had brought people here personally, and now he has been captured by the mysterious Lord of the Underworld. He thinks that he is in great danger.

The emperor frowned and thought. What Wanyan Gu said about the Nantai royal family and the Sixth Prince could be found out by his spies in Nantai and reported to him. Now it seems that Wanyan Gu was also unaware of his Sixth Brother's rash actions.

"Come here, give me a seat."

At the emperor's command, someone immediately brought a wooden chair to Wanyan Gu, who thanked him and sat down.

The emperor casually asked about Wanyan Gu's recent situation and finally ended today's interrogation with a few words.

"The situation in the capital is turbulent. It would be better for Prince Gu to stay in the other courtyard if he has nothing to do."

"I understand, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Wanyan Gu knew that he was under house arrest in disguise. Without the emperor's permission, he and his people could not leave the courtyard. At present, it seemed that there was no hope for the marriage, and they were all under house arrest again.

This result is considered good. At least he didn't lose his life, but whether he will lose his life in Zhongyue in the future is uncertain...

Wanyan Gu left the palace and sat in the carriage back to the other courtyard. He waved and whispered a few words to Tudan. Now they were alone in Zhongyue, so they had to find an ally. The most powerful man in Zhongyue was the one they wanted to befriend the most...

Afterwards, their carriage stopped at a pastry shop, and they went to buy cakes. After he came back, they set off again.

The secret guards sent by the emperor also monitored their actions, but with so many people coming and going on the streets and in the shops, and because the soldiers acted alone and secretly, the secret spies were bound to miss something, or it was difficult for the secret spies to notice some subtle little actions.

Just like the emperor sent someone to monitor the envoy group that Wanyan Gu was in, but they could only monitor some of the big movements on the surface, and the more subtle movements were not easy to detect. For example, they did not know the specific secret communications between Wanyan Gu and the Emperor of Nantai, nor did they know that Wanyan Gu had used another group of his death squads to sneak attack the Dragon Staff Guards and cause trouble for the Dragon Staff Guards.

Soon after Wanyan Gu arrived at the other courtyard, a group of imperial guards also arrived. Some of them entered the other courtyard, while others surrounded it.

As a result, the Beihan Envoy's Villa next door was also surrounded by a group of imperial guards, and some imperial guards were also added to the courtyard.

Four days ago, Bei Liyi suddenly fell ill, which disturbed the Queen in the palace. However, the imperial physician Li and others sent by the Queen could not get close to Bei Liyi without her permission.

The imperial doctors were not allowed to examine Bei Liyi's overall condition at close range, not to mention that the maid Xing'er swore that their princess only had some common female diseases, which were nothing more than menstrual disorders.

The imperial doctors saw Bei Liyi's weak state and checked her pulse, and finally concluded that she was "weak". Bei Liyi fainted because she was too weak and had difficulty taking the medicine to recuperate.

That night, Bei Liyi woke up quickly. After asking the imperial physician to prescribe medicine for her, she had the physician sent away.

She said bluntly: "It's just a woman's disease, why make such a big fuss to stir up the palace."

For the past three days, Bei Liyi had been recuperating in bed, and had let Doctor Beihan, whom she brought specially with her, take care of her. She didn't need any other doctors, even if those doctors were the best doctors in Zhongyue.

She endured the pain for three days and thought for three days. Seeing that Emperor Haolian had added more troops to the other courtyard, she finally made up her mind.

"Come here, this princess needs to write a letter to the queen. This princess has a best candidate for medical treatment in mind."

Throughout the Zhongyue Dynasty, was there any doctor whose reputation would be greater than that woman who always looked arrogant?
