His eyes swept over her seemingly intact right leg, and he hesitated, "And your leg..."
"Being able to marry the Fourth Prince as a concubine is already a good fate. Your father hopes that you can think about it carefully and face the reality. Sometimes, people have to accept their fate."
Su Qiao knew that it was useless to talk to him more about this matter.
"Father, I will think about it carefully. However, I would like to remind you that you should take care of my second sister. I am afraid that it is not a good thing for four princes to fight for one."
Su Qiao didn't want to be implicated by what happened between Su Yuxin and those men.
By now, the emperor should have noticed something!
"I'm glad you understand. It's time to take good care of your sister." Su Xiang felt a headache when he thought of his little daughter's temper.
She has indeed been spoiled too much and it is time to teach her a strict lesson, otherwise she might really be exposed one day.
"Father has something else to do, so I'll leave first. Be careful and don't trust the people around you completely."
"My daughter understands." Su Qiao nodded slightly, stood up to see her off, and pretended to do so.
Host, is he asking you to be on guard against these two palace maids sent by Xihanzhou
444 was quite smart and immediately understood what Prime Minister Su was referring to.
Su Qiao looked at the door and narrowed his eyes: "He should have already lined up."
Perhaps, a year ago, when Imperial Concubine Yun asked the Emperor for an oral order to betroth her to Ximuyan, he had chosen the Fourth Prince Ximuyan!
The reason why Imperial Noble Consort Yun did this was, firstly, because Prime Minister Su held a high position of power in the court, and secondly, she was probably still fighting against the ideology of her grandfather, General Gu's Mansion.
This is to seek military power!
As the saying goes, it may take three years for scholars to succeed in a rebellion, but if they have enough military forces, they can overthrow the imperial power overnight.
444 was stunned for a moment, then an idea flashed in his mind: Are you saying that he has been secretly supporting the Fourth Prince to seize the throne
"Yeah." Su Qiao sat down slowly and began to think about what to do next.
Xi Hanzhou's image of tyranny has already been engraved in the minds of his subjects.
If he continues like this, even the emperor will be disappointed in him.
Su Xiang was not wrong in this regard.
No matter how much affection you have, no matter how deep it is, it will eventually be worn out one day amidst repeated disappointments and exhaustion.
Moreover, the emperor is less than fifty years old and in his prime. He will definitely be reluctant to let go of power. Once someone instigates him to feel that Xi Hanzhou is a threat to him, I am afraid he will not care too much about the father-son relationship.
The battle for the throne? It's so cruel. Between brothers? Between fathers and sons, between uncles and nephews? They can kill each other for that chair.
Couldn't he have thought about this? If you marry the Fourth Prince, and he really ascends the throne to become the emperor someday? Won't they necessarily tolerate a crippled concubine like you
444 The more I look at Prime Minister Su, the more I dislike him.
And with Su Yuxin's modern thinking, she would never accept that two sisters would marry the same man. For her, the Fourth Prince would definitely find a chance to kill you in the end.
Su Qiao never had any expectations of Su Xiang, so there was no disappointment.
This man is very ambitious and selfish.
In his eyes, family affection is probably far less important than power and status.
"Oh, she can't just tolerate me?"
"One person for life is her ideal marriage."
To achieve this is absolutely impossible for the Fourth Prince, who values power more than his own life.
