A simple sentence, but it suddenly fell like thunder! It hit Zhao Zicheng hard!
His mind was confused for a moment.
"W-what did you say?"
Is he her fiancé? !
Didn't she just come back? When—
He looked back in shock, only to see the woman who had been distant and indifferent to him just now. After seeing the person coming, the corners of her lips unconsciously raised, and her eyes seemed to have thousands of stars shining down.
In just this moment, Zhao Zicheng's heart suddenly went cold.
"Rong Xiu."
Chu Liuyue didn't expect him to come so quickly, so she walked over.
"Why did you come so early?"
Rong Xiu raised his sword eyebrows slightly, half-smiling but not smiling.
"Since I want to meet my father-in-law, I naturally have to be early. Besides, if I arrive late, I will miss another good show."
Chu Liuyue gave him an angry look.
At this time, he was still making fun of her. She had clearly refused just now.
Rong Xiu looked at her angry and coquettish look, smiled slightly, felt a little itchy in his heart, and wanted to hug her directly.
But thinking that this was already the Tianling Palace, and there were many palace people waiting around, he endured it and just held her hand.
Zhao Zicheng finally reacted when he saw the two people's clasped hands.
He frowned subconsciously.
Everyone can see that these two have a great relationship.
fiancé.
Why have you never heard of it before
Zhao Zicheng had asked his father to find out about Shangguan You a few days ago, but he never mentioned it at that time.
Could it be a new person she has met in the past two years
If I remember correctly, she came back from an empire called Yao Chen outside the Tianmu Realm.
this man
"Your Excellency does not seem to be from Xiling."
Zhao Zicheng took a deep breath and tried his best to look calm.
Not to mention Xiling, even among the famous families in Tianling, there is no Rong family.
There is a high probability that it is also from Yao Chen.
Chu Liuyue actually didn't want to talk too much to Zhao Zicheng, so she just said:
"Father should already be waiting inside, so I went in with Rong Xiu first. Second Young Master Zhao, you should go back too."
Zhao Zicheng looked at Rong Xiu very persistently.
"Since you are His Majesty's fiancé, there is nothing you can't say about your financial background, right?"
This is about confronting Rong Xiu.
Rong Xiu glanced at Chu Liuyue reassuringly, then said with a faint smile:
"I am the seventh prince of Yaochen, Rong Xiu."
Sure enough, he is from the Yaochen Empire!
Zhao Zicheng's brows furrowed even more tightly.
Although this Rong Xiu is a prince, those small subordinate countries are not worth mentioning in Xiling.
Even if she is a noble daughter from an ordinary family, I am afraid she is not from the right family, let alone Chu Liuyue, who is now so high and noble as the emperor of Tianling
There is a huge disparity in status between the two. Let alone him, even the ministers in the court will not agree to this engagement!
Zhao Zicheng couldn't help but look at Chu Liuyue.
She knew these truths, but she still insisted on them, which proved that she was sincere about this man.
Zhao Zicheng clenched his fists tightly, feeling extremely entangled in his heart.
In the early years, it was Jiang Yucheng who took the lead.
Now, another Rong Xiu appeared.
It seems that every time, he is always just a little bit behind.
He is really unwilling!
"I'm the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs - Zhao Zicheng."
Although Zhao Zicheng has not stayed in Xiling in the past few years, he has never resigned. His journey has been smooth, and now he has taken the position of minister at a young age.
But in fact, this title is not worth mentioning compared with his family background.
There are several ministers in the Ministry of Rites, but there is only one second son of the Zhao family.
Zhao Zicheng had no intention of using his family background to pressure others, but only wanted to use his official position to try to put pressure on the other party.
When ordinary people hear such words, they will inevitably show surprise and admiration.
But after he finished speaking, the face of the man opposite him still just nodded, with a calm expression, as if he didn't care.
"Second Young Master Zhao, I heard something."
Chu Liuyue and Zhao Zicheng both looked at him in surprise.
What Chu Liuyue was thinking was that Rong Xiu seemed to have only been to Xiling once before, and Zhao Zicheng was not here at that time. How could he have heard of Zhao Zicheng's name
Zhao Zicheng was thinking in his heart, listening to Rong Xiu's tone, it seemed that he knew something about him, but why did he still not seem to care at all
Maybe he doesn't know much about the situation in Xiling
In this case, it can explain his series of reactions.
Zhao Zicheng took a deep breath:
"I have a few words. I want to talk to Mr. Rong alone. I wonder if Mr. Rong can do it conveniently?"
Rong Xiu raised his eyebrows and nodded.
"Why not?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was starting to get strange, Chu Liuyue grabbed Rong Xiu.
"If you have anything to say, just say it here."
It's probably related to her, so why can't she listen
Zhao Zicheng glanced at her hesitantly:
"His Majesty-"
"I and Rong Xiu are an unmarried couple. If you have anything to say, please don't listen. Second Young Master Zhao, please speak up if you have anything to say."
Rong Xiu blinked, and a faint smile flashed across the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Well, it's rare to see her supporting him like this.
Feeling good
Zhao Zicheng's eyes dimmed for a moment.
Even for Jiang Yucheng back then, she seemed to have never spoken for him like this.
She was so protective of him, which showed that she was really moved.
But Rong Xiu, on the other hand, was standing behind her, as if he was enjoying this woman's protection of him with peace of mind.
Zhao Zicheng suddenly felt angry.
This is already the case now, wouldn’t it be even worse in the future?
This marriage is simply not worth it to her!
Zhao Zicheng's expression became much more serious.
"Since His Majesty has said so, I will speak frankly. Mr. Rong, if you are sincere to Your Majesty, then please leave her now and don't have anything to do with her from now on."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly turned cold!
The space where these people are located seems to be condensed every inch!
Chu Liuyue clearly noticed that an extremely cold air spread out from Rong Xiu's body!
For a moment, Zhao Zicheng sensed an extremely dangerous killing intent!
His heart skipped a beat! The hairs all over my body stand on end!
But in just the blink of an eye, this feeling quickly disappeared without a trace.
It seems like everything is just an illusion.
Rong Xiu smiled slightly, but his voice seemed to be filled with ice slag, so cold that it chilled people's hearts.
"Oh? What if I say 'no'?"
Zhao Zicheng expected that he would not agree when he suddenly heard this, and he was not discouraged and continued:
"Perhaps you were very good before, but now, as you have seen, she is already the Heavenly Emperor. She needs to marry someone with a matching status, but you - you are not qualified!"
"If you really like her, value her, and for her own good, you should cancel this engagement and leave!"
"You don't know what self-knowledge is, do you?"
