"Your Majesty, the fifth princess's marriage is both a state and a family matter. It is not appropriate for Father Chen, an outsider, to interfere." She said quickly, stood up and prepared to leave.

"Don't be too busy leaving-" The queen actually smiled and left the person behind.

At this moment, Xue Jinruo couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.

But she heard the queen continue to explain: "You can also be regarded as the royal aunt of their brothers. Now you are sitting here planning for them. It is not unreasonable. Besides, this matter still requires your nod."

When Xue Jinruo heard this, he couldn't even lift the corners of his mouth.

At this time, Sheng Jiaojiao had also walked into the hall and bowed Yingying, looking well-behaved and sensible.

"Jiaojiao, it's rare that your royal aunt is here. I just want to ask you, do you really want to marry the eldest son of the Xue family?" When His Majesty said these words, he was not asking, but asking for ideas and asking for a marriage between the two.

There were two blushes on Sheng Jiaojiao's face, and she nodded shyly.

Not long before His Majesty's eyes fell on Xue Jinruo, Xue Jinruo was the first to speak out: "Your Majesty - in my humble opinion, this marriage is probably inappropriate."

"What's wrong?" His Majesty's face was obviously gloomy.

"The Xue family is still in doubt. The fifth princess is made of pure gold, so she will marry into a family of criminals. Please don't have this idea, or..." Xue Jinruo bit his back. Ya, gritted his teeth and said, "If the Xue family can clear away their grievances, they will naturally not wrong the fifth princess."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

The fate of the Xue family has been hanging in the balance for a year, and His Majesty has yet to come to a conclusion.

Although His Majesty values ​​Xue Jinruo, he does not want his bottom line to be provoked again and again.

With a hoarse voice, he suppressed the anger in his heart and shouted angrily in a low voice: "Xue Jinruo, don't toast me without eating the fine wine. If I are willing to let Jiaojiao marry, I will already be giving face to your Xue family. If you are like this Attitude, I can only put all your parents and brothers back in prison again!"

Xue Jinruo raised his head, his face full of stubbornness.

Your Majesty originally thought that this man would soften and beg for mercy, but he did not expect that he would remain silent.

If it had been anyone else, he would have been dragged down to implicate the nine clans long ago, but it is a pity that this person happened to be Xue Jinruo——

His Majesty also entrusts Xue Jinruo with an important task.

He sighed and waved his hand, asking everyone present to leave.

Sheng Jiaojiao was obviously unwilling. Her eyes fell on the queen and concubine one after another. They both shook their heads. They could only let the matter go.

……

After all three people retreated, Xue Jinruo was about to leave, but unexpectedly he was stopped by the head eunuch.

Just when she was confused, she saw the look the other party gave her.

She had no choice but to sit back obediently.

After pondering for a long time, His Majesty, with a gloomy expression, spoke again: "The Liu family has prepared to marry the prince. If you don't agree to the marriage, your eldest brother only hopes that he will not be able to marry again in three to five years. Don't you Can you bear to let your Xue family die like this?"

His voice was noticeably softer.

You must know that his health is now worse than ever. It is natural that the previous dynasty could not count on Sheng Chengjie. The only one he could count on was Sheng Jingze. And for some things that required a woman's intervention, only Xue Jinruo could handle it.

Forced by the situation, he had to see what these two people meant.

"Your Majesty, I would like to say something disrespectful -" Xue Jinruo raised her eyes and looked at His Majesty, "The fifth princess is afraid that her intentions are not right."

She had long thought of exposing Sheng Jiaojiao's true face.

It's a pity that the other party's disguise was really good, and he couldn't find any conclusive evidence, so he could only keep delaying it.

Now for Xue Sijian's marriage, she could only take a gamble.

"Xue Jinruo, did you know that just by your words, I can take your head off!" His Majesty was furious.

Although he was angry, he was not really angry. After all, he didn't like Sheng Jiaojiao, his daughter, and he even secretly felt that there was definitely something fishy about this person.

Xue Jinruo could clearly see His Majesty's unclear attitude, and couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart. After all, the surname Sheng Jiaojiao had before was not someone else. If Xue Jinruo was not afraid at all, no one would believe it. .

Her original intention was to take a gamble. After all, His Majesty is the king of a country. Although he pretends to be confused about some things, it does not mean that he is really confused. If His Majesty thinks that Sheng Jiaojiao is okay, he can rely on his status to Even if his Majesty felt that there was something wrong with Sheng Jiaojiao, he would most likely have been intimidated rather than reprimanded. After all, the scandal of this family should not be made public, and His Majesty naturally understood this.

After realizing that His Majesty had only intimidated her, Xue Jinruo took a deep breath and said directly: "Your Majesty, I feel that the black pimple issue must be closely related to the fifth princess. In this case, I cannot allow her to marry into the palace." Xue family."

His Majesty pondered for a while, clenched and unclenched his right hand, and finally slowly asked: "How confident are the princess's words?"

"Still investigating, there are only five points at the moment." Xue Jinruo hurriedly replied.

"Continue the investigation, but be careful not to let any rumors leak. The investigation results can only be reported to me alone." His Majesty said after thinking for a long time. Seeing that Xue Jinruo wanted to say something else, he waved his hand and continued: "As for the marriage, It’s just a delaying tactic, so there’s no need for the princess to say anything more.”

Xue Jinruo originally wanted to refuse, but seeing that His Majesty had made up his mind and closed his eyes after finishing his words, she knew that any more words would be a waste of words, so she turned around and left.

Xue Jinruo was so preoccupied that he walked on the official road, still thinking about the previous conversation with His Majesty. When he was still far away from the palace gate, he met Babao.

"I've met the princess." Babao saluted respectfully.

But Xue Jinruo was so absorbed in thinking about things that he didn't hear anything for a while, and still walked forward by himself. Babao frowned slightly when he saw this, but he still called out with a little more emphasis: "Princess, please be patient." Walk."

Xue Jinruo just heard this, and when he recovered his mind, he saw Babao, and asked with his eyes what was going on.

"Reply to the princess, Concubine Jia, please come to Qixiang Pavilion to have a talk." Upon seeing this, Babao stepped forward and replied.

When Xue Jinruo heard this, she glanced at Qixiang Pavilion in the distance. Due to the distance, she could only see a few outlines from here. She originally wanted to refuse. After all, the investigation into Sheng Jiaojiao was urgent, but Thinking about it, it would be better to make it clear to Sheng Jiaojiao. .
