Jin Chupei had already made his decision, and he could do nothing about Sun Jinzi's persuasion.

He only knew that it was for the sake of both of them.

In the first morning assembly that was passed down under the decree, in order to find out the true attitude that Jin Chupei had towards him changing the wedding date, Jin Chuyi specially mentioned his name during the morning assembly.

"What do you think of my decision, Lord Prayer?"

In the past, Jin Chupei wouldn't have talked in a roundabout way, but now, with Sun Jinzi's intensive training, he had learnt it long ago.

Hearing Jin Chuyi's straightforward question, he could not help but smile slightly: "Your majesty is wise."

Then there were no more words.

Zi Er had told him before that no matter how much he hated someone in his heart, he would never be able to tell in front of everyone, especially that person he hated.

"It seems that Prince Qi was very satisfied with my decision, so I am relieved." Jin Chuyi laughed with satisfaction.

Regardless of whether Jin Chupei was truly satisfied or not, it was none of his business. As the emperor, he only needed to care about whether he was happy or not. It was fine if the people he cared about were happy or not. As for the people beside him, that was none of his business.

There were no so-called swords coming and going in the imperial court. There was only the apparent calmness that seemed to want to cover it.

Attendant Du De stepped forward, raised his voice and said loudly, "If there's anything, let's start. If there's nothing else, we can leave the court."

Then all of them stood up in a flurry, and the sound of their clothes being shaken rang out.

Outside the hall, all the ministers who had been silent suddenly seemed to come to life. They couldn't help but want to jump out and stir up this already chaotic pool of water.

"The Emperor truly dotes on the Prince Qi."

Someone was discussing in a low voice.

"How so?"

Someone asked in disdain.

"If they weren't kind, how could this lateral consort give them one after another?"

It was as if he didn't know how tired he was.

"Hmph hmph hmph, this Lord Yu, you don't understand." Someone moved forward quietly.

Jin Chupei had heard everything they said in their ears, so he couldn't help but glare at them coldly.

The man was so scared that he jumped up and his body trembled. He squinted his eyes and didn't dare to speak again.

"What do you mean?" The other ministers behind them also understood the situation, and knew that the one who dared not speak in front of the Prince Qi, was only continuing to question him after he had reached the gate of the Hall of Harmony and turned around the corner.

"Don't you guys feel the same way about the candidate for the lateral consort bestowed by the Emperor?"

"Different? How is it different? "

Those who saw through him were people who saw through him. Those who couldn't see through him, no matter how much he hinted at him, there was nothing he could do.

"It's fine if you don't understand." The man had already warned them in place, but seeing that they still did not understand, he could not help but frown, and wanted to continue to elaborate further. Seeing that the Minister of Revenue had come out, he immediately smiled and moved forward.

"Lord Liu, congratulations."

Liu Shang Shu walked out with a cold expression. He had also heard the discussion about his daughter just now.

Originally, this matter was a joyous event to the current him, but he had decided to stand on the His royal highness the prince's side from the bottom of his heart.

At this point, who would stand on the side of someone whose mother had already lost her favour?

It was very clear that the outcome of this battle had already been decided. There was no need to put it any further. This was a battle that was destined to be unwinnable.

If the Prince Qi was lucky, then it would be better to have a good relationship with the His royal highness the prince. After he ascends the throne, he would probably be able to return to his fiefdom safely. However, if their relationship wasn't good, then it would be hard to say.

Most of the first dynasties were those who divided the kingdoms and bestowed the fiefdom, but when the new emperor ascended the throne, no one lived to become their fiefdom.

Therefore, who could say for sure about the Prince Qi this time around.

Although Liu Shang Shu still held a trace of limited hope, but he more or less understood in his private heart that this was not the Emperor's favor for him.

But there was still one more way, and that was to abandon his daughter, and stand firmly and stubbornly with His royal highness the prince.

Perhaps this method was feasible. After all, his Liu family did not only have a single daughter. He could still afford to lose a single daughter.

In just a short moment, Liu Shang Shu had already thought through so many things. When the official who was staring at him saw the emotional upheaval in his eyes, it was as if he was not looking at him, but enjoying the commotion on Qian Tang River.

"If there is nothing else, I will return first."

Here, the Liu Shang Shu was at the Second Rank and could be considered the biggest. He cupped his hands together and then pulled up his robes to leave.

He walked to the other side and saw that the Prince Qi and the Prince Qi were talking under a osmanthus tree.

The two of them seemed to be in harmony with each other.

It was unknown when their relationship had gotten so good.

Originally, there were many ways out of the palace, but in order to separate from the adults, Liu Shang Shu chose this sparsely populated path. If he wanted to go, he could only go forward.

Therefore, he had to go out and pay his respects. Otherwise, he would have to stand here and wait.

However, this place did not have any large trees or any place to hide. If he wanted to stand here, he was afraid that he would be discovered very soon.

When the time came, perhaps nothing would be clear.

After thinking about it, Liu Shang Shu walked forward with a slightly exaggerated pace.

"The lower official pays his respects to the two princes." Liu Shang Shu tried his best to calm his mind.

"No need for formalities."

The voice of Jin Chuping, who had spoken earlier, was warm and in line with his usual appearance.

Jin Chupei looked at him coldly, and did not say a word.

Then Liu Yuer would be his daughter. If not for him giving birth to a good daughter, he and Zi Er would not have been that distressed.

Of course, this was true anger.

"lower official did not notice this earlier, and went down the wrong path, which is why he came here. If there are any places that disturb the two princes, I hope that the two princes can forgive me." Although Liu Shang Shu was shocked, he was smart enough to explain the reason for his visit.

"Let's leave first." Jin Chupei did not even look at him and lightly waved his hand.

This was because she felt that he was disturbing them.

However, he did not say much as the Liu Shang Shu acted as if he had received amnesty and quickly left.

Jin Chuping looked somewhat incredulously at the that was about to leave.

"He didn't look so terrified before, but what about today?"

The officials were getting bigger and bigger, but they were getting more and more timid?

"He must have done something shameful. Otherwise, if he doesn't go along the great path, he might have to turn into this small path."

Jin Chupei did not have a good impression of the Liu Shang Shu, so when he talked, he did not intend to leave any face for him.

Sixth royal brother's personality will have to be honed in the future. Although he is a subordinate, he will still be your father-in-law in the future, is that really okay? If that was the case, Jin Chuping wouldn't dare to say it out loud in front of Jin Chupei.

When Jin Chupei saw this, he only laughed faintly, "Chief Consort's father is my father-in-law. What virtue do I have to have two father-in-law to have two father-in-law?"

If Sun Fuping was not Zi Er's nominal father, they probably wouldn't even buy his money.

"That's true. As for me, I'm the one who got confused."

Jin Chuping nodded his head, he had not married yet, so naturally he did not care too much about this matter.

"Elder brother, this is …" He really wished that he could just marry Sun Jinzi, but the emperor just let go of number two. Number three was just staring at him, who was ranked sixth.

"royal father should worry about you and Second royal brother the most."

Speaking of Duke Ming, Jin Chuping's face stiffened.

He forced a smile. "I can't compare with him." At least his heart was not as vicious as his way of doing things was not as nimble.

"Forget it, I'll remember your persuasion today. I'll treat you to a drink another day."

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you to say that."

Jin Chuping was instantly overjoyed.

He had two great things in his life, good writing, and good wine.

Of course, the beauty was in his heart as well. It was just that after the incident where the brothel was poisoned, he never went there again.

After all, no matter how good a beauty was, or how fragrant wine was, it was not as important as one's own life.

Although he didn't have any ambitions in his heart, unlike his brothers who were worried about the whole world, he didn't want to lose his life like this.

"Since that's the case, let's drop the matter. "Let's leave the palace first." There were some real things that couldn't be said in this palace.

It has to be said that this intrauterine seemed to be heavily guarded, but who knew who the guards were loyal to?

The secrets that were told today would be spread all over the place tomorrow.

"Sixth royal brother, my royal brother had something he wanted to tell you. But now, he is saying it so casually and I have forgotten about it. It was not easy for me to remember it now, don't say it now, listen to me."

Jin Chuping scratched the back of his head as if he had really forgotten about it.

"Actually, in this world, the thing that one enjoys the most is a beauty's grace. The thing that makes it the most difficult to endure is also a beauty's grace. That, will depend on how you, Sixth royal brother, understand it. "

If it was just being in bed, it would be worth ten thousand gold.

If that beauty had the heart of a snake and entered the mansion, she would especially do something that would harm him. That would be a huge problem.

"I got it, thank you Three Emperors."

Amongst so many princes, only Prince Ping Jin Chuping still had a few words to say to him.

The other people, such as the Lord of Ning Wang, Jin Chuao, had long ago started a ruckus over Zi Er's matter, and after that, there was the matter of Zi Er coming up with an idea to release Sima Yuzhu. It could be said that Jin Chuao hated the both of them thoroughly, so it was simple.

Meanwhile, the Duke Ming Jin Chuhan who had the same name as him, had an extremely cold personality. His relationship with no one was good, nor was it good.

However, based on his instincts, Jin Chupei was not willing to get close to him.

Furthermore, although the matter of the Prince Ping was already dealt with on the surface, and was related to Sun Jinning, he heard from Zi Er that there was an unspeakable relationship between him and Sun Jinning, so the matter should be related as well.

Only, Zi Er had been paying attention to those things these past few days, so he did not know the details yet.

And Jin Chuxuan was even more so.

They were mortal enemies.

Especially when he realised that he actually had ill intentions for his wife, Jin Chuxuan had become a thorn in his heart, sharp and extremely annoying.

Jin Chupei stood under the osmanthus tree and thought for a long time before slowly leaving.

Just as he returned to the entrance of the palace, he was stopped by Sun Jinzi who was in a rush to leave.

"Prince …"

Sun Jinzi was pleasantly surprised to see him, and then, she went close to his ear to tell him a shocking piece of news.

"What …"

When Jin Chupei was in the Imperial Palace, he was still thinking about that matter. He never thought that such a thing would happen the moment he came back, isn't this a little too much of a coincidence?

"Is she really not dead?"

"Indeed, Mu Rong personally saw it."

Ever since some things had happened at the execution grounds, they had always sent people to keep an eye on the manors concerned, and they had always kept a close eye on's manors the most.

"In the house on the east side of the city?"
