Chapter 177
"Father, do you really want to take such a risk?"
While Mr. Zhao and the Queen Mother were sleeping in each other's arms, the Huainan King's Palace was a different scene. The Huainan King and his son were sitting solemnly facing each other in a secret study.
“The world is about to be in chaos, how can we survive alone?”
King Huainan said with a sigh.
"The empress in the East Palace is known as a powerful ruler for her literary skills and military skills. My father may have a better chance of winning if he puts his treasure on her."
The prince said in a low tone.
"It has been thirteen years since the Empress Dowager Zhao came to the throne, but she still cannot stop the rolling trend of the world. The drastic changes have occurred in the past two years."
King Huainan shook his head.
"How can I, my son, not understand the meaning of a cunning rabbit being killed by a lackey? If she is really allowed to wipe out the seven kings, will I, the King of Huainan, still be able to survive?"
"Do you think your father can really stand up to the Queen Mother who has been in charge of the government for more than ten years?"
The prince looked suspicious.
"We have no choice. King Qi will not let go of Huainan even if he is in Jiangnan. Only by serving him as our master can we preserve our foundation."
King Huainan said categorically.
"But if we do this, the people of Dayu will fall into endless war!"
Chen Shizi said with a gloomy expression.
"Women's kindness!"
King Huainan reprimanded!
"Before you pity the people of the world, you should keep your father and your little sister in mind."
"Isn't my father also going to marry An Le off to that Zhao Cuo? This guy named Zhao really lives up to his reputation as a playboy. He even brought along a female protector with a high level of cultivation as his maidservant along the way!"
He waved his sleeves and cursed indignantly.
"Don't you know about Anle's situation? Only in the coming troubled times can she find a way to survive."
King Huainan sighed again.
"Damn Southern Border Gu Thief!"
The prince gritted his teeth and said.
"Don't say this in front of Mr. Gu. He is not only Anle's master, but also a superior fire-raiser..."

…
"That Princess Anle stared at us all night."
The gray sky brought a little light into the warm room. Mr. Zhao, who had just woken up, hugged Wen Ruan in his arms comfortably and had no intention of getting up until she spoke.
"She didn't do anything, did she?"
Zhao Cuo was not surprised when he heard her words. The problem was that King Huainan didn't send people to monitor him. Unfortunately, they didn't expect that a junior would be protected by a fire bearer.
"Quite peaceful."
Empress Dowager Zhao spoke in a lazy tone, and at the same time she changed into a comfortable position in her arms, like a snoozing kitten.
"What are we doing today?"
He patted her beautiful back skillfully. King Huainan's birthday is tomorrow, so they have nothing to do today.
"You can lie in bed and sleep all day~"
The Queen Mother was calm and composed and seemed not to be worried about King Huainan's rebellion at all.
"If it doesn't rain too much, let's go out to the street and have a look later, ma'am?"
"If you want to go out and play, I can reluctantly accompany you."
"Then let's get up and wash up and have breakfast first."
Her calmness made Zhao Cuo feel more at ease.
"I am just joking."
The empress raised her white and tender hands to cover her small mouth and yawned gracefully.
"As expected, King Huainan will still have people come to win over you today. It is estimated that the Crown Prince and Princess Anle will come to visit you soon."
The Empress Dowager Dayu expected it to be true. Young Master Zhao had just washed himself and had breakfast when a servant came to announce that the Prince of Huainan was here.
Zhao Cuo could only welcome the guest in with a smile on his face, and Princess Anle was also present. King Huainan seemed eager to send his daughter to his room tonight.
This kind of test is not worth mentioning to him.
'Fourteen years old is too much punishment...'
Young Master Zhao cursed, saying that aside from the fact that Princess Anle was a dangerous Gu master, she was still just a child.
Although the little national master looks much younger than her.
But the actual age of Zhizhi is not small.
"Brother Yu, I'll take Wu Jiu to get you familiar with Taihu City today, right? Although it's not as good as Yuhang, it's still a prosperous city."
"Thank you very much, Brother Chen. I just want to bring some rare things from Huainan back to my elders, and I would like to ask my brother to show me the way."
"please."
The day that Young Master Zhao wanted to spend alone with the bad woman was wasted, but he took this opportunity to get to know Princess Anle better. She was a quiet child.
His Highness's big, emotionless eyes looked a little dull.
But because of her young and delicate face, she looks cute even if she is silly.
'But I played the wrong card when I wanted to use a little girl to win over someone who likes women.'
Zhao Cuo and his brother and sister spent the day peacefully. He tried to find out the distinguished guest mentioned by the King of Huainan, but unfortunately there was no gain.
The next day, Young Master Zhao slept until noon. After making all preparations, he and the Queen Mother entered the bustling palace.
He was still treated with great courtesy.
"My dear nephew, please take the seat to the right of me."
King Huainan smiled and waved to Zhao Cuo.
"I wish your Majesty a long life."
Zhao Cuo bowed and presented the congratulatory gift that Duke Zheng had prepared before his departure.
"good."
King Huainan enthusiastically pulled him to sit down on the lower right side of the main seat, then looked around at the guests in the hall and said with a smile:
"My dear ministers, I am delighted to have a son-in-law at this fifty-year-old birthday banquet. You must not get drunk or come home today."
'You haven't even written your horoscope yet. What are you talking about?'
Zhao Cuo responded to the glances around him with a fake smile, knowing that King Huainan was buying and selling by force, so he wanted to directly confirm that he was the husband-in-law of Princess Anle.
"Congratulations, king!"
When the King of Huainan said this, all the honorable nobles of Huainan who were present immediately stood up to congratulate him. At this time, Young Master Zhao noticed something strange. The young people who came to the banquet with their elders all cast different looks at him, including several
The young man's eyes looked as if he wanted to tear him apart.
‘This Princess Anle is so popular among the people in Huainan Kingdom?’
Zhao Cuo didn't care about these jealous looks at first, but when he noticed that the soldiers standing guard in the palace showed vague hostility towards him, he realized that the matter was not simple. The love of these ordinary soldiers was not as simple as men's possessiveness.
, they really love Princess Anle.
"Who is the distinguished guest that the king said two days ago that he would invite to make arrangements for the marriage between me and His Highness..."
After a round of pushing cups and changing cups, Mr. Zhao took advantage of the fact that everyone present was intoxicated with the singing and dancing of the singer, picked up the wine cup and walked to the side of King Huainan.
"My dear nephew, can't you wait any longer?"
King Huainan smiled and stroked his beautiful black beard.
"That distinguished guest is not suitable to appear in front of others now. After the banquet, I will take you to see him. He is now waiting for you in the palace, Wu Jiu."
