She Only Cares About Cultivation

Chapter 1359: Chapter 986: Poison Doctor Unrivaled 47 (four thousand)_3

Beitang Qing was somewhat incredulous: "Isn’t Murong Han more favored than this Prince Liang? Why is the person finally appointed as Crown Prince not him? What’s going on here?"

The matter of Murong Han’s self-request to leave Beijing was known only to Murong Yi and himself. Even Murong Xue hadn’t asked closely about it, so how could others know?

They came this time to propose to Murong Xue, but now Murong Han had lost the opportunity. In the future, he might only be a prince of Lanyue, so... is there still a need to propose? freēwēbnovel.com

Therefore, when he asked Beiming Yi this, the latter sneered: "Since we’re here, we can’t return empty-handed, can we?"

"Even if Murong Han is merely King Han, it’s still a fact that Murong Xue is the legitimate princess of Lanyue. Marrying a legitimate princess like her benefits anyone, and besides, she’s not only beautiful but also skilled in medical arts, which is far better than marrying a noble lady who only knows how to apply makeup and is of no real use."

Beitang Qing twitched the corner of his mouth: "Brother, actually, the women of our Holy Dynasty aren’t that bad, right? Some have quite impressive qualifications, and besides, marrying a high-born noble lady from the Holy Dynasty would provide an extra arm of support."

Beiming Yi glanced at him: "Isn’t there still a concubine position available? I used to be lame, but now that I’m not anymore, wouldn’t those who hesitated before now compete to come to my door?"

...

Luckily, these words weren’t heard by Murong Xue, or she would definitely regret saving such a... scumbag!

With this thought in mind, Beiming Yi confidently handed a note to Murong Yi and went to the palace for an audience.

He entered the palace in the morning, and in the afternoon Murong Han was summoned to discuss what Beiming Yi had requested.

"Impossible, Father Emperor. This issue doesn’t need Xiao Xue’s opinion. I can decide this for her. Regardless of whether he’s lame or not, Xiao Xue can’t marry him. This man is too opportunistic. Our Holy Dynasty is currently in a crucial phase of vying for the throne. The Old Emperor’s health is erratic. We shouldn’t let Xiao Xue get involved and become his pawn in power struggles."

"Moreover, you promised me that it’s better for Xiao Xue to decide her marriage herself. Or do you think he would be more suitable for Xiao Xue than Shui Yixuan?"

Facing Murong Han’s retort, Murong Yi sighed: "I just hope she can have a good home. This young man came all the way to Lanyue out of gratitude, proposing to your little sister. I see his sincerity, plus their ages are similar. He hasn’t been married before. Among the Princes in the Holy Dynasty, although his ability was once hindered by those legs, he’s healed now by your sister, so his future isn’t bleak. Maybe you should personally ask Xiao Xue?"

"Father Emperor, why can’t you understand? If Xiao Xue had any interest in him, why would he need to travel to Lanyue to propose without her knowing? Xiao Xue and he have been together for half a year. If anything had developed, wouldn’t she have already told me? But since he came to Lanyue, I haven’t received any news from my sister, which proves she doesn’t know. In this situation, it doesn’t seem like a happy surprise, but rather a fright!"

Murong Han felt Murong Yi had aged, his ability to judge people wasn’t as good as before, and his ears had become softer than before. A few words could negate what his own son had said, which was deeply disappointing. Murong Yi’s intention was clear, he wanted to hear Murong Xue’s opinion.

If that’s the case, then he should write a letter to Xiao Xue, as long as not making decisions irrationally, everything can be discussed. Meanwhile... perhaps he should hurry Shui Yixuan.

No one expected that plans wouldn’t keep up with changes. Murong Xue hadn’t returned from Xiran Island, and Shui Yixuan hadn’t received the letter when Murong Yi, unbeknownst to Murong Han, agreed to Beiming Yi’s proposal. When Murong Han learned of this, Beiming Yi had already returned to the Holy Dynasty with the wedding document signed by the emperors of both countries.

Murong Xue returned to Lanyue, went to the palace with Murong Han, and only then learned of the news from an apologetic Murong Yi. She immediately felt as if the sky was collapsing, and anger welled up from within her chest, unable to be calmed for a long time.

Her anger was undisguised, so much so that even Murong Han’s attempts to calm her were ineffective. Though she didn’t make a scene, she looked coldly at her so-called birth father with eyes full of disappointment.
