Not long after King Jin received the imperial edict, Xu Tai was recuperating in his mansion and received news from spies at home.

"Your Majesty has decreed that Prince Jin and Miss Xu will get married in seven days." The young man knelt down tremblingly. Before he came in, Mrs. Lu also knew about this, and her face was already green and white with anger.

Xu Tai lay on the couch and listened to the servant describe the situation of His Majesty in the court today, and the fists in his hands could not help but clenched a little tighter.

He asked: "Marshal Xue has retired and returned to his hometown?"

The servant said: "Yes, before the imperial doctor made diagnosis and treatment, he had received the words from His Majesty's chamberlain, but the imperial doctor insisted on the original words in the end, so Marshal Xue has decided to retire and return to his hometown."

Unbeknownst to others, Xu Tai knew very well about His Majesty and the Queen that if Marshal Xue was not really terminally ill, they would not let him go.

The imperial doctor must also know how serious this matter is. Now I am afraid that Marshal Xue is really seriously ill.

With the fall of military power, both His Majesty and the Queen are unwilling to see the ground anymore. They must find someone to quell the Yuecheng uprising. It has been nearly ten days since they received the Yuecheng uprising. Within ten days, Yuncheng County Magistrate People have been sent urgently to ask for help many times.

Nowadays, I am afraid that Yuecheng has been completely reduced to a land of labor, and the nobles in Yuecheng will not be able to escape death even if they think about it.

These are not what His Majesty and the Queen are concerned about. They are more concerned about who will lead the troops to save Yuecheng. After all, Yuecheng is the only way from Xiaocheng to Kyoto. Your Majesty will not let Xiaocheng, this golden mountain, go in vain. .

"Master, His Majesty has issued a decree for the eldest lady to marry Prince Jin. Madam sent someone to pick up the young lady from the palace early in the morning. The young lady is not here."

When Xu Tai heard this, his eyes paused: "Not here?" Where could she go if she wasn't here?

Xu Tai's heart was filled with panic. Ever since Xu Chuan and King Jin's marriage was settled, he felt like he had lost control. Marshal Xue did not kill her. The assassins were all killed by King Jin. Even when she saw Xu Chuan yesterday, she said His father also looked indifferent, not to mention his attitude, which was even more heavenly.

"Yes, I've sent people there many times, and everyone in Prince Jin's Mansion said he wasn't here." The servant looked at Xu Tai hesitantly, feeling embarrassed.

"Send someone to ask the two girls that Xu Chuan brought back yesterday to see if they were in and out of Prince Jin's Mansion." He couldn't control Xu Chuan, but killing two servants was not as good as killing an ant. So simple.

Just as the boy was about to push it down, a wailing cry came from outside the door: "Father, Father"

The voices sounded like their daughters Xu He and Xu Hu.

Xu Tai nodded, the boy exited the door, and invited the two of them in.

"Father, I heard that the eldest sister is going to marry the King of Jin, what about us?" Xu He started crying, and Xu Hu, who was following behind him, became more and more irritable. When he saw Xu Tai lying on the bed, tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

He was fidgeting with the veil with his hands, feeling very annoyed.

When Xu Tai heard this, he couldn't help but frown: "Your Majesty has decreed that there is no room for maneuver on this matter."

The two sisters cried even harder. Xu He was the second sister. She choked and said: "Didn't my father say that if we kill Xu Chuan, we can marry the royal family? Now Xu Chuan has married the royal family. What about us? ,What about us"

Because she was so emotional that she started to tremble even when she spoke. Xu Tai's heart hurt when he heard this. How could he not know about this.

He took a breath, was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "The royal family is not a good match. You two are the legitimate daughters of my Xu family. Even if you can't marry into the royal family, you can still marry into the Xie family."

Hearing this, Xu He's head suddenly felt as if half of it had exploded. You stood up and accused Xu Tai: "In the final analysis, my father is still useless. He sent so many assassins but couldn't kill Xu Chuan."

If Xu Chuan could be killed earlier, the three princes would not go crazy.

Xu He immediately suppressed a burst of anger in his mouth: "No, no, I must marry into the royal family. If not, I can marry His Majesty." Hearing this, he immediately sat up and said, "You, you are unfilial." Girl, do you know how old your Majesty is?"

Xu He cried and looked at him and said: "Aren't you the same age as my father? What are you afraid of? With the status of our Xu family, don't we have a chance to compete for the position of queen?"

Xu Hu knelt on the ground and looked at the arrogant and arrogant words coming out of Xu He's mouth. She had never thought that the second sister would be so bold today.

"Second sister" She was so frightened that she hurried forward, grabbed Xu He's sleeve, and signaled her to stop talking.

Xu Tai was furious, and the assassin stared at Xu He angrily without saying a word.

Xu He became more serious and said: "Why, doesn't father want to fight for our Xu family?"

She stepped forward step by step, her steps were very small, but her eyes were full of contempt and contempt, falling on Xu Tai's face.

Xu Tai clenched his fists tightly, with bulging veins. He looked at his usually gentle, virtuous, kind and sensible daughter, but in just a few days, she became someone he didn't recognize.

In order to allow himself to marry into the royal family, humiliating him like this made his heart hurt so much.

Xu Tai took a breath to calm down, and said angrily: "You, I tell you, you can never marry into the royal family again."

This scolding frightened Xu He's expression for a moment, and he took two trembling steps back. How could his father, who used to be kind and kind, treat her like this today?

In the past, he always warned them that they would marry into the royal family in the future and enjoy the worship of the people of Jin. How could it suddenly change in just a moment?

Xu Hu was also startled. Seeing that Xu He was about to fall down immediately, she stepped forward to help her: "Second sister, second sister, what father said is not unreasonable. Your Majesty is already so old. You If you marry him, can you still have children?"

Xu He's eyes paused, and she suddenly understood. She was overwhelmed with anger.

She was overwhelmed by jealousy that Xu Chuan could marry into the royal family, and also by the royal family.

No, but, but the eldest sister Xu Chuan, why can she marry into the royal family? Although Prince Jin was born to Concubine Tao, he also has half of His Majesty's blood.

If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Tao had no one behind her, Xu He would have regarded Prince Jin as his fiancée, so what would have happened to Xu Chuan?

She was unwilling to accept it. For so many years, the nuns in the mansion had taught them every day that they should treat themselves as royal wives. If they married into the royal family in the future, the Xu family would be regarded as the shining lintel.

If he gives birth to an heir to the royal family, the Xu family will be honored and no one can compare with it.

"Father, could it be that you just let your eldest sister marry the King of Jin?" Xu He looked at Xu Tai desperately. She didn't believe that her father would have any feelings for a daughter who had been neglected for more than ten years.

Xu Tai was also in pain. He was not in good health. When his two daughters were angry, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart and his face turned quite pale.

He coughed twice, sat up halfway and said, "Don't worry, I won't let Xu Chuan block the way of you two."

Xu He wanted to speak, but was dragged out by Xu Hu: "Father, my second sister and I know, thank you very much, Dad."

Xu He still looked unwilling, and was dragged out of Xu Tai's bedroom by Xu Hu.
