Chapter 186 Ziwei's Little Abacus
Chapter 186 Ziwei's Little Abacus
In the Yangxin Palace, after seeing off Qiker, the next step was to prepare to welcome Ali Khoja.
The emperor is very busy.
The emperor was a little surprised to learn that Ziwei wanted to see him.
This daughter has become much more obedient and less of a worry since her last house arrest, and the emperor is willing to take time out to see her.
"Ziwei, why did you come to see me?"
Seeing the emperor in a good mood, Ziwei made up her mind and knelt down and said, "Father Emperor, you should know that Ziwei and Erkang have always known each other and loved each other. You were busy some time ago, and Ziwei did not dare to disturb you rashly. Now, Ziwei wants to ask Father Emperor to grant a marriage between Erkang and me."
When Ziwei mentioned Erkang, the emperor's eyes widened, but Ziwei still finished speaking under the emperor's pressure.
Ziwei was actually a little happy. If the emperor didn't agree, she wouldn't have to marry Erkang.
Sure enough, after hearing Ziwei's words, the emperor slammed the table heavily and said, "What nonsense! Who is he? You still want to marry him?"
The emperor naturally knew about Erkang's current situation, and even the fact that the Fu family was so miserable was also the emperor's intention. However, the emperor did not expect that Ziwei would dare to propose to marry that criminal. It was really ridiculous.
"Do you know that he is now a criminal? As my princess, you are actually going to marry a criminal. Where do you want to put my face? Where do you want to put the laws of the Qing Dynasty?"
Seeing the emperor so furious, Ziwei shrank back. She thought the emperor would be angry, but she didn't expect the emperor to be so angry.
Ziwei was about to say something to ease the emperor's mood, but the emperor was too angry.
"Get out! Get out of here! I'm telling you, if you want to marry Erkang, you'd better not be a princess anymore! I can't afford to lose this person!"
The emperor threw the teacup to the ground, still not satisfied. How could Ziwei be so unreasonable?
Think about Qing'er, then think about Jingyan, and Seya. The selection of their sons-in-law was so reassuring, and the sons-in-law they chose were all outstanding people. Why is it that when it comes to his daughter, he is so confused?
The teacup fell next to Ziwei, who shrank back in fright, and the tea splashed all over her. She knew she had made a big mistake, and she had never expected that the emperor would hate the Fu family and Erkang so much.
Taking a deep breath, Ziwei cried and apologized: "Father Emperor, it was Ziwei's fault. Ziwei didn't think clearly about the twists and turns. She only cared about her own little love and completely ignored her responsibilities as a princess. Father Emperor was right to scold her. Ziwei will not do it again in the future."
Unexpectedly, Ziwei admitted her mistake so quickly that the emperor was a little surprised. However, seeing Ziwei kowtowed and admitted her mistake repeatedly, it seemed that she really realized her mistake.
The emperor forced himself to suppress his anger and said, "Since you know you are wrong, go back. If you act like this again next time, don't blame me for punishing you."
Ziwei thanked him and left.
After leaving the Yangxin Palace, Yongqi came up to him anxiously: "How is it? Did the Emperor not punish you?"
Just now, he could hear the emperor's furious roar outside the door, and he also heard the emperor throwing the teacup. He was really scared to death.
Ziwei wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "The Emperor is very angry. It's beyond my expectation. He also forbids me to mention this matter again. There is no room for negotiation."
Hearing this, Yongqi hung his head in disappointment. He was not afraid of his mother, but he was very afraid of the emperor. If the emperor was so furious that he couldn't marry Xiaoyanzi, he didn't know if he could hold on.
Thinking of this, Yongqi felt a little melancholy. As a child of the royal family, he had no control over anything.
"Forget it if it's not possible. The Emperor won't agree." Yongqi didn't know whether he was saying this to Ziwei or to himself.
Ziwei nodded and said, "Then take me out tonight before the Emperor puts me under house arrest."
It's time to explain everything to Erkang, otherwise he won't be able to continue fantasizing about it.
But this time, with the emperor speaking and Yongqi testifying, he only needed to play the role of a poor little guy.
The Hui people from the far suburbs marched towards the capital in a mighty force.
There was a woman sitting in the center of the team. Although she was covered with a veil, one could still tell from her eyes and eyebrows that she was an extremely beautiful girl.
Ali Khoja looked at the road ahead and could already see people. It was worth their day and night journey. They estimated that they would reach the capital within three days.
"Hanxiang, as a princess of the Hui tribe, all the sacrifices you made were for the Hui tribe. The people of the Hui tribe will be grateful to you. Our Hui girls are so brave. Daddy is proud of you."
Hanxiang didn't say anything. She hadn't spoken since she was once again chased back by Ali Hezhuo and his men, and since she agreed to come to the Qing Dynasty in order to save Merdan's life.
She cannot control her own body, but she can control her own heart.
The team marched forward, completely unaware that danger was approaching.
In front of the team, a group of men wearing Hui clothing were lying in ambush.
Everyone was concentrating, waiting for the team to arrive nearby.
The leading man gave a gesture and everyone rushed out immediately to intercept the team.
When Ali Khoja's team saw this, they immediately realized that it was Merdan who brought people to kidnap the princess again.
"Protect the princess!"
The two sides soon became entangled.
Ali Hezhuo was very angry. He shouldn't have listened to Hanxiang and spared the boy's life, causing him trouble for nothing.
The team led by Meldan was smaller in number, so their purpose was not to fight, but to entangle the guards, giving Meldan the opportunity to approach Hanxiang.
Meierdan jumped into the sedan chair and grabbed Hanxiang: "Hanxiang, follow me!"
Hanxiang's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at the man in front of her. She knew that her "wind" would definitely come and take her away.
Unfortunately, before the two men could get up and out of the sedan chair, the guards rushed over. One of them kicked Merdan hard. He jumped out of the sedan chair and soon started fighting with the guards.
But having fewer people is not an advantage after all. Seeing that more and more of their people fell down and the rest were almost all injured, Meldan knew that he could not take Hanxiang away today. He had no choice but to shout retreat, jump on his horse and run away.
Unexpectedly, Meldan came and they were defeated so quickly. Hanxiang cried and called Meldan, wanting him to take her away as well.
Unfortunately, Meldan was too busy to take care of himself at the moment and it was impossible for him to take the princess away.
Ali Hezhuo was very angry: "Go after him! Catch him alive!"
The guards took out their lassoes and chased after Meldan.
Hanxiang was very sad, but also very worried about Merdan. She hoped that he could escape, but also hoped that he could come back and take her away.
Merdan's escape was not smooth. He was soon tripped off his horse and was caught up by the guards, who slashed him twice.
Seeing Merdan injured, Hanxiang was heartbroken. She begged Ali Hezhuo to spare his life.
Hanxiang shouted loudly: "Meildan! Just think of me as dead and go!"
Seeing this, Ali Khoja finally let Merdan go.
As long as Hanxiang can enter Beijing smoothly, he can save this boy's life.
