112. So, best(2/3)

"I really don't know." Xiao Xing said coldly.

"Xiao Aiqing, what King Xiao said is the truth?" Li Xiaotian looked at Xiao Yuanqi again.

Xiao Yuanqi lowered his eyes and said as usual: "When the emperor said, the engagement between Xiao Chen's two families was decided by his father when he was drunk and unconscious. He did not tell King Xiao afterwards. His father once said that if the Shen family did not mention it, the marriage would not exist."

"So that's how it is." Li Xiaotian smiled, "I think the owner of Mansion Chen doesn't know what Mr. Xiao means, but the marriage was settled, Mansion Chen asked and took out the token given by Mr. Xiao back then. Should Xiao Aiqing recognize it or not?"

Xiao Yuanqi said respectfully: "When the emperor said, this marriage was decided by his father. The Shen family has the token in his hand, so I will recognize it. However, King Xiao had already cut off relations with the Xiao family ten years ago. His name is no longer on the Xiao family's genealogy, so it is meaningless to recognize it or not. Please understand the owner of the manor Chen, because the manor cannot make decisions for her."

Xiao Yuanqi's words were completely leaked, and the meaning was that the marriage between children and grandchildren that Xiao Xuan had decided during his lifetime would be admitted as long as there was a token of his family. Unfortunately, Xiao Xinghan was no longer a member of the Xiao family. It would be useless if he recognized it!

"What does Mrs. Xiao think?" Li Xiaotian looked at Ning Ruyan.

Ning Ruyan lowered her eyes slightly and said, "When the emperor says, these things are all the things that my husband is responsible for."

"Haha." Li Xiaotian smiled slightly, "Although King Xiao has cut off the relationship between father and son with Xiao Aiqing, we all know that King Xiao will not cut off the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren with Mr. Xiao. Xiao Aiqing confirmed that this engagement was indeed decided by Mr. Xiao during his lifetime. King Xiao, what do you mean?"

Chen Youruo looked at Xiao Xinghan with a deep look, and then he heard Xiao Xinghan say a coldly voice: "The emperor can decide on the marriage of the empress, and the empress should obey the holy wishes."

Dongfang Ziyu looked at Xiao Xinghan in disbelief. He didn't believe that Xiao Xinghan didn't understand what the banquet meant. Li Xiaotian clearly wanted to give Xiao Xinghan another woman, and even asked the Xiao family to confirm the engagement existence, and asked Mu Yan's cousin Su Ji to testify, but Xiao Xinghan did not refuse directly! Dongfang Ziyu felt that he could not understand. Even if Xiao Xinghan cared about Xiao Xuan's wishes before his death, would he not care what Mu Yan would think?

"I respect Mr. Xiao very much. I have always regretted that Mr. Xiao was framed by a traitor back then." Li Xiaotian sighed and said, "The owner of Manor Chen is the wife chosen by Mr. Xiao for King Xiao. If I had known about this engagement, I would not have let King Xiao marry him."

"Where is the Dongyang Kingdom where Emperor Li said this?" Dongfang Ziyu looked cold, "Is it possible that Emperor Li wants to fulfill King Xiao and Lord Shen now and let Anping marry another person? It's ridiculous!"

Dongfang Ziyu was really angry, not only for the sake of the face and interests of Dongyang Kingdom, but also for Mu Yan. Mu Yan was not a chess piece for Dongfang Ziyu. He used to like Mu Yan, but still liked him in his heart, and his cooperation with Mu Yan was very pleasant.

"Don't get me wrong with Prince Dongfang. Princess Anping will marry King Xiao the next day, and this matter will not be changed." Li Xiaotian looked at Dongfang Ziyu and said.

"What Emperor Li means is that this Lord Chen will marry King Xiao, too?" Dongfang Ziyu said with an unhappy expression.

Li Xiaotian nodded slightly: "I am just thinking this."

Dongfang Ziyu looked at Chen Youruo with a deep look and suddenly laughed: "Emperor Li, if I guess correctly, this owner of Manor Chen took Keats Villa as a dowry?"

Dongfang Ziyu suddenly understood what was going on. Xiao Xinghan and this woman named Chen did have an engagement, but Li Xiaotian could never have done anything to fulfill Xiao Xuan's wish before his death. It must be that Chen Youruo gave the royal family of Tianli Kingdom, otherwise Li Xiaotian would not care about her at all!

Dongfang Ziyu was thinking that as the owner of Keats Villa, since Chen Youruo made up his mind to marry into Tianli Kingdom, the benefits she could give to the royal family of Tianli Kingdom would naturally be Keats Villa.

Li Xiaotian smiled and said, "I won't hide it from the Prince of Dongfang, it's true. Prince of Dongfang, Tianli and Dongyang have become allies. Keats Villa has left the Beimo Kingdom and joined Tianli Kingdom. It is also a good thing for Dongyang Kingdom, right?"

Li Xiaotian had something in his speech, and he was hinting that Dongfang Ziyu, after Tianli Kingdom got the benefits of Dongyang Kingdom, it was inevitable that after Tianli Kingdom would be given the benefits of the Dongyang Kingdom.

Dongfang Ziyu was silent for a moment, then looked at Xiao Xinghan deeply, and then laughed: "Since that's the case, I don't seem to have any reason to object."

Dongfang Ziyu was not for the benefit or changed his mind, but he suddenly realized something that Xiao Xinghan would never really marry this Chen Youruo, and Su Ji would never watch this woman marry Xiao Xinghan with Mu Yan, and Mu Yan would not be able to serve a husband with other women! Therefore, Dongfang Ziyu decided to stay out of the matter and do only what he should do, say what he should say, and just watch the show.

Dongfang Ziyu's reaction was expected by Li Xiaotian, because as the prince of Dongyang Kingdom, Dongfang Ziyu should not consider Mu Yan's happiness at this time, but should only consider whether Dongyang Kingdom can get more benefits. If Dongfang Ziyu continues to oppose it, it will arouse Li Xiaotian's suspicion and think there is still some secret in it.

Su Ji was sitting there without saying anything, and Li Xiaotian felt that everything was going well beyond expectations. He was about to speak, and decided to marry Chen Youruo and Mu Yan into the Xiao Mansion together the next day, but Xiao Xinyue suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, can you show me the token of Master Chen's marriage?" Xiao Xinyue asked Emperor Li with a respectful expression.

Only then did Emperor Li notice Xiao Xinyue. He was in a good mood and didn't care about Xiao Xinyue's sudden request. Seeing Xiao Xinyue's innocent face that was ignorant of the world, Emperor Li couldn't help laughing: "Of course."

A palace maid took the divine doctor order from Chen Youruo and sent it to Xiao Xinyue.

Emperor Li asked Xiao Xinyue with a cheerful smile: "Miss Xiao, why do you want to see this token? Do you suspect it is fake?"

Emperor Li just thought this girl was very cute. The matter was settled, so he didn't care about these small episodes. Who knew that Xiao Xinyue answered Emperor Li's question seriously: "Yes, I suspect this token is fake."

Chen Youruo's expression immediately changed: "Sister Xinyue, this genius doctor order has been seen by Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao, it is true."

"From the appearance, it is indeed a real doctor order." Xiao Xinyue held the doctor order and said seriously, "But it is not certain whether this doctor order is a token of my grandfather to the Shen family."

Li Xiaotian narrowed his eyes slightly: "How do you say this?"

"If you go back to the emperor, there are three magic doctor orders in the Xiao family. They look the same, but there are three gems of different colors inside." Xiao Xinyue said respectfully, "The magic doctor orders given to the Shen family should be green gems inside."

"How can Miss Xiao determine that this divine doctor order is not a green gem?" Li Chenfeng looked at Xiao Xinyue and asked.

Xiao Xinyue shook her head slightly: "I'm not sure, so I asked the emperor to let me take a look. The emperor didn't know that the Xiao family had already taken back a divine doctor order. It was originally in my hands, but suddenly disappeared out of thin air a few days ago. It must have been stolen."

Dongfang Ziyu laughed: "So, Miss Xiao suspects that the owner of Manor Chen stole your genius doctor order as a token?" Interesting, so interesting!

"Xin'er, don't mess around!" Xiao Yuanqi glanced at Xiao Xinyue disagreed.

"Dad, I'm afraid you and my mother will punish you for your loss, so I didn't dare to tell you." Xiao Xinyue lowered her head and said, "But that was the treasure left to me by grandpa. No matter who stole it, I'll find it back. I don't suspect that the owner of Manor Chen was lying, I just wanted to see it."

"Sister Xinyue, only your Xiao family knows whether there are gems in the divine doctor order. Whether the tokens that Grandpa Xiao gave to the Shen family back then were all decided by your Xiao family. Therefore, when you open the divine doctor order, no matter what it is, it cannot prove that this is not the token of the year." Chen Youruo looked at Xiao Xinyue with a calm expression and said, obviously he did not think that Xiao Xinyue's behavior would affect her plan.

Li Xiaotian smiled and said, "Ms. Chen is right. Miss Xiao, it is indeed a pity that you lost your genius doctor order, but you can't falsely accuse Master Chen of the mansion!"

"Your Majesty, I'll know when I open it and take a look." Xiao Xinyue said seriously.

Everyone watched, Xiao Xinyue's slender fingers quickly lit the divine doctor order a few times. The divine doctor order suddenly cracked a crack and turned into two halves.

Xiao Xinyue opened the two halves and everyone saw a gem inlaid inside, not green, but red.

Xiao Yuanqi's face suddenly sank, but he didn't say anything.

Xiao Xinyue looked at Emperor Li and said, "Your Majesty, this divine doctor order belongs to me, and it is not a token of confidants at all."

"Miss Xiao, I have just said that the color of the gem cannot prove anything." Li Xiaotian was not angry, just thinking it was a child playing. In fact, seeing Xiao Yuanqi's sudden sunken face, Li Xiaotian suspected that this magical doctor order might have been stolen by Chen Youruo from Xiao Xinyue, but it doesn't matter and will not affect the final result.

Chen Youruo looked at Xiao Xinyue calmly, but didn't say anything, as if he was worried about nothing.

Xiao Xinyue showed everyone present the opened divine doctor order: "Three years ago, I engraved words inside, and there was also the time I engraved them on it. It was my grandfather's death day. Engagement was more than ten years ago, so this divine doctor order is mine."

Dongfang Ziyu laughed: "It seems that Miss Xiao is not lying. This is the first time I have seen it. The token of the marriage is stolen, which is interesting." Dongfang Ziyu is also not interested in watching the excitement. He is on Mu Yan's side, so when he sees something is reversed, of course he will not miss the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

I saw the two half of the divine doctor orders in Xiao Xinyue’s hand, half of which was inlaid with a red gem, and the other half had two words engraved, "Hanxin", and a very small line of words below. It was indeed Xiao Xuan’s death day three years ago.

Chen Youruo's face finally changed and his fists were slightly clenched.

Li Xiaotian frowned and looked at Chen Youruo: "Master Chen, give me an explanation!" The reason why Li Xiaotian found these people was to find a rationality for his next behavior, and to avoid Xiao Xinghan's dissatisfaction, and to let the Su family know in advance. But Li Xiaotian did not expect that the token of Chen Youruo's hand was really stolen from the Xiao family, and Xiao Xinyue found evidence.

Xiao Yuanqi glanced at the words "chilling heart" on the divine doctor order in Xiao Xinyue's hand, and his mouth twitched slightly, then turned to look at Chen Youruo and said, "Master Chen, even if you say that you have lost your token of marriage, my Xiao family will not deny the existence of the engagement contract. But you steal the divine doctor order in Xin'er's hand and deceive the Xiao family. Such behavior is too rude!"

Chen Youruo's face looked very ugly because she didn't expect it to be exposed in public, and she didn't know how to defend herself.

"Emperor, although King Xiao is no longer my brother, my grandfather's wish during his lifetime is the most important thing. If the token is true, the engagement naturally needs to be fulfilled. But the owner of Chen lost the real token, which means that the owner of Chen did not take this engagement seriously at all. Using the stolen things as a token, such a thing is really despicable!" Xiao Xinyue frowned and said, looking very angry. Because she had said early in the morning that the order of the genius doctor with red gems was left to her by her grandfather, and it was a very precious treasure for her, but was stolen by Chen Youruo. Chen Youruo also used it to deceive their Xiao family, and she was rightfully angry.

Su Ji glanced at Xiao Xinyue, curled the corners of his lips slightly, and said silently in his heart that this is also a bastard who loves acting...

"Sister Xinyue, I will explain this matter when I look back." Chen Youruo lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Emperor Li, the engagement is true, and the token does exist. It was just that I lost it for a moment of carelessness. I have made this bad decision. I hope Emperor Li will forgive me."

Li Xiaotian was already a little dissatisfied with Chen Youruo. Originally, Chen Youruo was the rightful party, and Li Xiaotian supported her, but Chen Youruo did something stupid and was exposed in public, so this rightful thing became unreasonable.

But Li Xiaotian was still unwilling to give up the benefits he was about to get. He smiled and said, "Although the method used by the owner of Manor Chen is wrong, he cannot deny that the engagement really exists. Moreover, Manor Chen made a small mistake because he admired King Xiao. Since King Xiao has no objection, I still hope to fulfill Manor Chen."

Dongfang Ziyu said with a smile: "I have no objection, but I want to hear Su Xiang's opinion. After all, Su Xiang is Anping's cousin."

Li Xiaotian looked at Su Ji: "Su Aiqing, what do you mean?"

Xiao Xinyue frowned and looked at Su Ji. She didn't expect that she would expose Chen Youruo's shameless behavior in public, and Emperor Li insisted on making Chen Youruo and Xiao Xinghan be together. At this moment, Xiao Xinyue was thinking, if Su Ji dared to say that he had no objection, she would hate him for the rest of her life! Because he was not worthy of being her sister-in-law's cousin!

Su Ji, who finally had a sense of presence, said calmly: "Your Majesty, I object."

It was very simple and straightforward, which surprised everyone here. Because Su Ji had been deliberately keeping a distance from Mu Yan and had never spoken to Mu Yan in front of Emperor Li. Now when Emperor Li had decided to let Chen Youruo and Mu Yan marry Xiao Xinghan together, Su Ji expressed his objection in public, which was not like his former personality.

Xiao Xinyue curled her lips slightly, then quickly put away her smile and looked at her ears.

Li Xiaotian's face suddenly sank. He didn't seem to have expected that Su Ji, who had always understood his thoughts, would be so disrespectful to him today.

"Does Su Xiang not want your cousin to suffer grievance?" Li Xiaotian looked at Su Ji and asked coldly.

Su Ji nodded slightly and shook his head: "Emperor, Princess Anping, who came from Dongyang Kingdom, is indeed the cousin of Weichen's relatives, and everyone knows this. Weichen does not deny his concern for his cousin, but Weichen opposes the marriage of Lord Chen of Keats Villa to King Xiao, not because of Princess Anping and Weichen."

"What's that?" Li Xiaotian's face was slightly better. If Su Ji said that he didn't care about Mu Yan at all, Li Xiaotian would think he was lying. Li Xiaotian also realized now that Su Ji was not an emotional person. Since he objected, he must have his reasons. You might as well listen.

"The owner of Manor Chen uses Jici Villa as his dowry and wants to marry into Tianli Kingdom, which shows how infatuated the owner of Manor Chen is with King Xiao." Su Ji said calmly, "But the original person has a question to ask the owner of Manor Chen, when will the owner of Manor Chen send the dowry to Leiyang City?"

Chen Youruo's expression changed instantly: "What does Su Xiang mean?"

Su Ji smiled slightly: "The original appearance is very straightforward. If the owner of Manor Chen doesn't understand, the original appearance can be more straightforward. Lord Chen, you are the owner of Keats Villa, we all admit that this is, but we also know that Lord Chen is still there and has a younger brother. Master Chen, you have made such a major decision on the future of Keats Villa, but with the consent of your mother and stepfather, the elders and disciples of Keats Villa are willing to leave their hometown to come to Tianli Kingdom with Lord Chen?"

Chen Youruo's expression turned cold: "Su Xiang, you don't have to worry about this, I can do it just by saying it!"

"The Lord Chen has the courage, but what you ask for is to marry into the Princess Xiao's Mansion together with Princess Anping the next day. But no one knows when your dowry will be sent over, right?" Su Ji said with a faint expression, "Since Lord Chen comes to Leiyang City, he will directly contact the emperor to negotiate a transaction, so he must prepare the bargaining chips for the transaction, otherwise it will be said that it is not worth trusting. For the sake of the old doctor Xiao, my emperor is willing to fulfill Master Chen's, but this is also a prerequisite."

Li Xiaotian's eyes had become deeper, and an inexplicable light flashed in Li Chenfeng's eyes. The father and son heard Chen Youruo say they wanted to take Keats Villa as a dowry. Thinking that such great benefits were within their reach, they did not think deeply. Su Ji's words made them think that they might have fulfilled Chen Youruo in the end, but they could not get anything!

Chen Youruo looked at Su Ji with a cold look: "Su Xiang, if I swear I would definitely bring Keats Villa here? Does Su Xiang believe it or not? To put it bluntly, Su Xiang deliberately ruined the things that Emperor Li and I had agreed on here for the sake of our cousin!"

Su Ji smiled: "Master Chen doesn't need to provoke the relationship between our monarch and ministers. Don't forget that you are still from Beimo Kingdom."

"What, Su Xiang wants to say again that I am a spy sent by the royal family of the Beimo Kingdom?" Chen Youruo said coldly.

Su Ji shook his head: "The spy is not the case. I believe that the owner of Manor Chen really came to Leiyang City because he loved King Xiao. The engagement had existed, and the original admitted it. However, since the token has been lost, the engagement naturally will not be counted. As for the owner of Manor Chen stealing Miss Xiao's genius doctor order as a token, Manor Chen does not want to evaluate the character of Manor Chen, but through this incident, he saw that the owner of Manor Chen would marry into Prince Xiao's mansion by any means."

"Su Xiang, what do you mean?" Chen Youruo's expression was already ugly.

"The original meaning is that since you are so eager to marry into the Xiao Palace, you can even do theft, you are already lying to others. You are very suspicious of the dowry you mentioned." Su Ji looked at Chen Youruo and said, "Let's take a step back, I believe you will use any means to try to bring Keats Villa to Tianli Kingdom's heart, but I don't believe that you really have the ability to bring Keats Villa here. Do owner Chen understand this?"

"Su Xiang is indeed a clever tongue!" Chen Youruo looked at Su Ji and said coldly.

"I'm so angry that I'm speechless?" Su Ji's lips curled slightly, "Master Chen, you're smarter than ordinary women. I admit it, but I advise you not to do anything beyond your ability. It's one thing that you can keep Keats Villa. If you want to move Keats Villa to Tianli Kingdom, that's another thing."

"Su Xiang said so much, but he just looked down on women!" Chen Youruo said coldly.

Su Ji smiled again: "The Lord Chen said that the original appearance looked down on women, but he did not recognize him. The original appearance was just some of the Lord Chen. Let's discuss the matter. The most valuable person in Keats Villa is the people in Keats Villa. If the information received by the Lord is correct, Keats Villa is located in Fanxing City, Beimo Kingdom, just under the eyes of the royal family of Beimo Kingdom. Now, there are ten elders who hold different levels of voice in Keats Villa, and there are nearly two hundred disciples, including the nobles of Beimo Kingdom nobles. So, please tell me about the Lord Chen and tell everyone here, how are you going to bring those people from Fanxing City to Leiyang City?"

Chen Youruo's face turned blue and white, so angry that he couldn't speak.
