Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

However, Zhao Zhuoran thought differently from the emperor.

Privately, Princess Beidi has fallen in love with him, and he wants to use Princess Beidi to steal the method of making cannons.

"Ninth brother, I have good news for you. Princess Beidi fell in love with you at first sight and is begging you to marry her."

Zhao Zhuoxi raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's good, but the concubine position in this palace is full. If the princess wants to marry me, she can only be a wife. I don't know if the princess can bear the injustice..."

Princess Beidi was reluctant to begin with, and she quickly glanced at Zhao Zhuoran, her anger rising to the sky.

"What? You want me to be demoted to a lady... I'd rather not marry."

It’s just right that she doesn’t marry. Zhao Zhuoxi doesn’t want to marry her either.

Zhao Zhuoran was full of doubts: "As far as I know, you have no other concubines except Princess Zhaoyang's other granddaughter. Didn't you cancel the engagement with the Qin family girl and let her marry someone else?"

Zhao Zhuoxi smiled gently, "Sixth brother, you may not know that the other concubine position is reserved for the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. After she reaches the age of 15 this year, I will come to propose marriage to her..."

The granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo...

Zhao Zhuoran and the emperor looked at each other, and the emperor nodded slightly.

During the more than half a year that Zhao Zhuoran led his troops to fight, Yao Qin, the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, fell in love with Zhao Zhuoxi for some reason and pursued him relentlessly, never missing any opportunity to see him.

Nowadays, no one in the capital does not know about her, even though Zhao Zhuoxi does not like her.

But she is the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. For the Duke of Zhenguo, it is not a loss to marry her.

Zhao Zhuoran didn't say anything, so the emperor had to wave his hand.

"Forget it, I will choose another marriage for Princess Beidi."

After Zhao Zhuoxi came out of the imperial study and walked for a long time, Zhao Zhuoran showed a ferocious expression.

"Royal brother, since he is pushing me so hard, it's time to teach him a lesson."

The emperor nodded in agreement: "I heard that Princess Qi is pregnant. His love poison should be able to detect it."

Zhao Zhuoran snorted coldly: "The Hehuan poison needs to be cured by the Purple Car River. I wonder if the Prince Qi's Mansion will choose to save him or the child..."

The emperor rubbed his head and said, "Sixth brother, are your troops still outside the capital?"

Zhao Zhuoran nodded: "Still there."

The emperor sighed, "My health is failing. The imperial edict has been written. When the time comes, please take good care of Concubine Xian's child..."

The emperor's health had been deteriorating since the queen was bombed, and it was Zhao Zhuoran's idea to make the virtuous concubine pregnant.

Zhao Zhuoran cannot be the emperor, but he can be the regent.

When the emperor passed away, he immediately supported the emperor's only son to ascend the throne, and he became the regent, and the whole world still belonged to him.

In the following days, the emperor was busy choosing a husband for Princess Beidi.

Zhao Zhuoran didn't move either.

There was an eerie tranquility in the capital.

Jiang Jiu and Zhao Zhuoran moved back to Prince Qi's Mansion. On this day, she was taking care of her pregnancy. The autumn air was refreshing and the garden was full of flowers. Then she heard the voices of two little maids talking.

"I heard that the prince has been going to the Duke of Zhenguo's residence every day these days, saying it's for official business, but it's actually for Miss Qin."

"This is not normal. Our prince is supposed to have two concubines. Since the Qin family girl's engagement was broken off, it's natural for him to choose another one. The granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo fell in love with our prince at first sight and has been clamoring to marry him for a long time."

"But she's ugly and has a bad temper. Our prince originally looked down on her, so why is it that he's suddenly rumored to want to marry her?"

"Isn't it because she's attracted to the Duke of Zhenguo... Besides, she's ugly, not as pretty as our princess, so she won't be favored by the prince..."

The two little maids walked and talked, and gradually walked away.

After hearing this, Chunhua stamped her feet in anger: "There's no longer any order in the palace anymore. They've even started talking about the master."

Qiuyue was a man of action, and she immediately said, "I'll go teach them a lesson..."

Jiang Jiu pulled the man back.

"No, it's just a small matter..."

Zhao Zhuoxi's plan to marry a concubine was actually his, and Jiang Jiu was unwilling to interfere.

I just didn't expect that the granddaughter of the state would have such a bad reputation.

How can a girl who is ugly, has a bad temper and pursues men pursue men? Men will look down on her.

Jiang Jiu felt a little reluctant to let her really marry into the palace and waste her whole life, after all, she was only fourteen years old, not even fifteen.

It’s just that Zhao Zhuoxi is too good-looking.

Jiang Jiu didn't care. He took a walk in the garden and went back to his room.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the Moon Gate, I heard Lu Ming's anxious voice.

"Master, he's vomiting blood again. This isn't good. We need to find a famous doctor to see him."

Nichang thought for a moment and said, "Let's ask Chuyu. We've asked all the imperial doctors in the palace, and they all say the master is fine. But the master keeps vomiting blood, so how can this not be a disease?"

Lu Ming sighed, "Ever since Madam Jiang passed away, Chu Yu has been displeased with our prince. She invited him three or four times, but he turned her down two or three times. I don't know what the princess said to finally agree to come last time..."

Nichang was also hesitant: "If it were in the past, I would definitely ask the princess to invite Chuyu, but now the princess is pregnant, and the master won't let her tell her..."

Jiang Jiu's heart tightened. Why did Zhao Zhuoxi suddenly fall ill?

As his bedmate, she didn't even know it.

He walked quickly to the Moon Gate, his throat trembling with shock.

"What disease has the prince contracted?"

Lu Ming and Nishang originally met here and were talking in private, but they didn't expect to be overheard by the princess.

Kneel down and apologize immediately.

Jiang Jiu was pulled up by them: "Now is not the time to talk about this, hurry up, pack up, I will go and invite Chu Yu personally..."

Jiang Jiu came to Chu Yu's pharmacy again, but he didn't expect that Chu Yu was not there.

The apprentice at the pharmacy said that Xiao Yimo was injured in the explosion, so Chu Yu went home to take care of Xiao Yimo.

Jiang Jiu went to the courtyard they bought in the capital. Besides Xiao Yimo and his wife, there was also Nanny Qian.

Jiang Jiu had wanted to tell them the truth for a long time.

Then he brought people to their yard.

Unexpectedly, the yard was empty. I went to find the woman who was in charge of the yard and found out that they had actually gone back to Su City.

At this time, Lu Ming hurriedly found Jiang Jiu.

"Princess, don't look for it anymore. This is all the prince's intention."

"The prince has handed over all the business in Sucheng to Master Xiao, and has transferred Mr. Gu from Sucheng. From now on, Mr. Gu will be in charge of the business in the capital."

It turned out that Zhao Zhuoxi had reorganized her business.

As Zhao Zhuoxi's rear base, Sucheng is also where Yiyepiannizhou and Jiang Jiu's "Six One" business companies have all made arrangements.

Yiye Pianzhou's business covered money houses, grain stores, real estate, silk, etc. Later, after being rectified by Jiang Jiu, some of the businesses became royal merchants.

All the six businesses were managed by Xiao Yimo and became Zhao Zhuoxi's private property.

As for artillery, explosives, iron ore weapons, etc., they also became Zhao Zhuoxi's private property.

At this time, Zhao Zhuoxi had money, soldiers and artillery. As long as he wanted, he could overthrow the emperor with a single order.

Just a month ago, a few days after Zhao Zhuoxi discovered that Jiang Jiu was pregnant, he suddenly started vomiting blood.
