Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 93

Chapter 93 Bring Disaster to the Fish in the Pond
Actually, Qin Mubai’s so-called “apology” was just a matter of making a scene. Princess Gao Yang was no longer in the palace yesterday, and the Emperor’s decree was only issued today. What could she blame for hundreds of cavalry? However, as a subordinate, admitting his mistakes instead of doing anything wrong was a good attitude and attitude. Qin Mubai knew very well that young masters like Changsun Hua didn’t understand.

When the group arrived at the Martial Hall, Baiji, led by Cheng Huaibi, was guarding the inner hall. Qin Mubai inquired a little and found out that Princess Gaoyang was indeed in the Imperial Study. Moreover … the Emperor was enraged!

“Is Prince Wei here?” Qin Mubai asked.

“Not here.” Cheng Huaibi replied softly, “Fang Xuanling is here. Princess Gaoyang entered the palace with Fang Xuanling.”

‘”What?” Qin Mubai’s heart tightened. Could it be that Li Tai sold Princess Gaoyang directly to Fang Xuanling? … How did this happen?

For a moment, Qin Mubai fell into deep thought. Putting himself in place, he thought of himself as Li Tai and analyzed why “he” did this.

Princess Gaoyang came to ask Li Tai for help. Li Tai, as his brother, could not justify not helping. But he and Fang Yiai are good friends, coupled with this matter is very likely to ignite the fire, affecting the future of the first wife. Therefore, Li Tai didn’t want to help Princess Gaoyang do such a thing at all. But in this way, his influence offended Princess Gaoyang, and he had a bad reputation among the royal family.

So what?

Naturally, he would not bring the young boy from Fang Yiai to talk about this matter. He would tell Princess Gaoyang that Fang Xuanling was well-versed in the righteous old dao and had a close relationship with Fang Xuanling. He was willing to bring Princess Gaoyang to meet Fang Xuanling and explain the reason why he was unwilling to marry into the Fang Clan. Princess Gaoyang was naturally unhappy, but she had no choice but to temporarily trust Li Tai, her older brother. As a result, the two of them traveled together to the Fang manor to discuss matters. Fang Xuanling naturally could not help but rebel against a princess. In front of the red prince, he could only ostensibly agree. After that, Li Tai returned to the palace and told the emperor everything–in the name of an elder brother helping his younger sister with something. Create a seemingly pleasing momentum.

In the end, Emperor Long Yan would definitely scold Li Tai in anger, but most likely, that anger would only be directed at Princess Gaoyang. Because he knew Princess Gaoyang, she must be pressing Li Tai step by step, so Li Tai had no choice but to help her. In this way, Li Tai would not bear any consequences and would leave behind a filial name of “caring for his sister” in Li Shimin’s heart.

After the Black Warrior Sect Incident, Li Shimin valued the harmony between his children and filial piety. Li Tai would certainly be scolded, but that was even more useful than being praised!

…

Thinking about this, Qin Mubai’s heart couldn’t help but tremble. If that was the case, then Princess Gaoyang would be too tragic. She was simply treated like cannon fodder by Li Tai … If he didn’t want to do so much, he would just go in and take a look.

Qin Mubai walked outside the imperial study. He heard that Li Shimin was cursing Princess Gao Yang, saying that she was disobedient and unfilial, reckless and indecent.

Princess Gaoyang was crying fiercely. She repeatedly emphasized that she would rather die than marry Fang Yiai. “The Fang Clan has already clearly promised not to marry me. Father, you still insisted on stuffing me in. You clearly don’t want me anymore!”

Fang Xuanling was bitterly trying to persuade the father and daughter.

Li Shimin’s anger grew louder and louder. His roar was like thunder. Princess Gaoyang gradually only cried, and Fang Xuanling did not speak.

Qin Mubai’s heart tightened, “At this moment, don’t go in and make fun of me …”

He waited outside for a long time, but Li Shimin’s roar did not come from inside. At this time, he said indifferently, “Gaoyang, I love you very much, I hope you can understand.” You have indeed gone too far this time. Go back and reflect on yourself. Children of commoners still know that marriage is the’matchmaker’s word of parents’. As a princess, you need to be bold and conscious and accept your own fate. “Alright, you go back to the harem first to rest. Father Emperor will personally come to the Immortal Palace Hall to see you later.”

Princess Gaoyang didn’t know why she didn’t cry anymore, so she answered sadly and walked out of the room.

Pushing open the door, Princess Gaoyang looked at Qin Mubai. For a moment, Qin Mubai was shocked by her expression and gaze.

If it weren’t for the extreme sadness and disappointment, there wouldn’t be such an expression and expression in their eyes!

At this moment, Princess Gaoyang had lost all of her usual divine radiance and youthful beauty. Her face was pale and her spirit was dispirited. Her eyes were blank and her entire body was powerless. She was like a walking corpse, shaking and coming out.

“Thief Military Academy, smelly man” Princess Bu of Gaoyang could no longer restrain her emotions when she saw Qin Mubai. She suddenly burst into tears and rushed towards him.

Qin Mubai was shocked, “Hey, what are you doing?”

The door to the imperial study was open. Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were both inside, so they could hear everything, and even tilt their heads slightly, they could see everything! Moreover, there were so many Baiji soldiers present!

This girl is crazy!

Princess Gao Yang completely ignored him and plunged her head into Qin Mubai’s embrace as if she had lost her mind. Her cheeks even knocked his chest armor to the point of banging. She hugged him tightly and burst into tears without restraint!

It’s over!

For a moment, Qin Mubai felt as if a great calamity was imminent!

I’ve never felt this way before!

In his wise life, he was actually caught off guard by the Little Demon and swung it like this. It was as if someone had suddenly kicked him into the abyss and he was falling down at a rapid speed!

…

“You guys are still standing there, aren’t you going to pull the princess away?” Qin Mubai shouted in a hurry, “Your Highness is too sad to control her emotions. Quickly send her back to the back hall to rest!”

“Yes!” The frightened soldiers seemed to be filled with enlightenment as they loudly promised to come and pull Princess Gaoyang.

“Don’t pull, get lost!” ‘”Father, Fang Xuanling, you can all hear me-let me repeat, the person I want to marry is Qin Mubai, otherwise I would rather die than marry into the Fang Clan!” Princess Gao Yang shouted hysterically, “Father, Fang Xuanling, I want to marry Qin Mubai, otherwise I would rather die alone than marry into the Fang Clan!”

Boom! ! !

Qin Mubai’s mind was filled with a loud explosion!

This time, his death was truly complete!

Qin Mubai lowered his head and looked at Princess Gao Yang blankly. He muttered, “Are you dragging your back even if you want to die?”

Princess Gaoyang’s beautiful eyes were already flushed red, and her face was covered in tears. No matter how she looked at it, she was still a little bitch who was filled with sorrow, utter disappointment, and was boring, and even unable to live.

However, when she raised her head slightly to face Qin Mubai’s eyes, she suddenly revealed a demonic smile. She grinned, revealing her little tiger teeth and dimples, and whispered, “What, aren’t you willing?”

What else could Qin Mubai say?

“Invite the princess to the back hall to rest!”

…

Princess Gao Yang was forcefully dragged away by a few Hundred Cavalry Soldiers.

In the Imperial Study Room, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling quietly watched the entire process. None of them had said a word, not even changing their expressions.

Qin Mubai was stunned outside the room for a moment. He took a deep breath and forcefully sorted out his chaotic mood. He pulled the dumbfounded Eldest Sun Huan and walked into the Imperial Study together.

“This lowly official, Qin Mubai, greets His Majesty the Emperor … greets Husband Fang.” In front of Qin Mubai, Changsun Huan followed behind and bowed.

“Oh … what’s the matter, you two?” Li Shimin asked calmly as if nothing had happened.

“This lowly official and the others have come to apologize.”

“Are you guilty?”

Qin Mubai reported to the Emperor the fact that he was unable to take care of Princess Gao Yang.

After Li Shimin heard this, he smiled faintly, “It’s not Baiji’s fault. Gaoyang left the Imperial Palace yesterday. Let’s call it a day. Fang Xuanling and Changsun Huan, all of you, leave first.”

“I’m leaving.” Fang Xuanling and Changsun Huanhuan answered. Before they left, they looked deeply at Qin Mubai and quietly retreated.

Li Shimin waved his hand, and all the palace maids and maids also retreated. Pass down the order that no one should be allowed to enter the Imperial Study within thirty steps.

Qin Mubai had been quietly standing in front of the desk. She felt as if the atmosphere in the room had frozen, and the air was filled with a faint hint of rain.

Li Shimin was also silent for a long time, as if he was taking care of his mood and thoughts. Finally, he said, “Mubai, what exactly is going on between you and Gaoyang?”

“Your Majesty, this lowly subject and Princess Gaoyang are completely innocent. There is absolutely nothing else. The princess did that just now … She only wanted to use this lowly subject as a last resort.” Qin Mubai bowed calmly.

“Of course I understand. She is my daughter, and I know her like the back of my hand. Although such a small trick can shock the world, it can only deceive some unreasonable people.” Li Shimin’s tone was very calm, just like when he was chatting with Qin Mubai, he said indifferently, “But, she said time and time again that she would rather marry Qin Mubai than marry Fang Yiai … Why you? Why not Changsun Huan, Cheng Huaibi, or Yuchi Baoyun?”

“This” Qin Mubai smiled bitterly, “Your Majesty, I really don’t know how to answer this question. Actually, I have only known His Highness Princess Gaoyang for less than a month. It was the conflict in the Imperial Study that started last time. His Majesty knew everything that had happened during this period. This lowly official was only instructed by His Majesty to teach her how to play the pipa. Then last time, she was ordered by the princess to escort her to King Wu’s Mansion, and then she went to Yao’er’s place to play together. Apart from that, there is nothing else. ”

‘”But now, this matter has already begun. My beloved daughter, the dignified princess of the Great Tang, publicly refused to marry. She refused the marriage of my most powerful official, the Prime Minister of the Great Tang. The reason for refusing to marry is that she is in love with you. Unless you don’t marry, she would rather die.” Li Shimin frowned, “Tell me what you think. How should this matter end?”
