The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

Chapter 65: The Promise of the Imperial Decree of Marriage

Haixian led his men out of the palace urgently and headed for the Guangchang Marquis' Mansion. Before they arrived, they were told that the Guangchang Marquis and his family of three had been detained by the Major General and taken to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen because they had caused trouble at the gate of the Duke of England's Mansion.

Hai Xian listened numbly to the troubles of the Guangchang Marquis family, but he couldn't help but feel pity for the Duke of Yingguo.

How bad must the Duke of England's eyesight have been to have such a family?

At this point, he had no choice but to go to the Jingzhao government office.

Please ask the young general to accompany him and bring Marquis Guangchang to the imperial court for a talk.

Lu Qingxiao didn't seem surprised that Eunuch Haixian would come. Instead, he reminded him, "Besides seeing people, does His Majesty want to see anything else?"

Hai Xian understood and turned to look at Marquis Guangchang, "Please go to the mansion to get a token of trust, my Lord."

Marquis Guangchang dared to challenge Lu Qingxiao and could only nod in obedience to this trusted eunuch who had been with Emperor Rong'an for many years.

At first, Marquis Guangchang didn't know why he was summoned to see the emperor.

When Haixian mentioned the keepsake, his first reaction was the birth cards and certificates of the two children that he had exchanged with the British prince.

Guangchang Hou instinctively felt that things were going to get worse, and immediately said, "In that case, please trouble Eunuch Hai to accompany me back to the palace."

Hai Xian flicked his whisk and smiled politely, "No problem, the young general will go with me."

When Marquis Guangchang looked at Lu Qingxiao, just one glance, he felt that Lu Qingxiao seemed to have seen through his little thoughts.

Haixian and Lu Qingxiao took Marquis Guangchang back to the Marquis's mansion.

They were both people from the palace and soldiers from the Huben Camp, which frightened Old Madam Duan quite a bit.

Especially when Old Lady Duan saw that her son was the only one who came back, and as soon as he came back, he rushed into the yard to look for something and didn't care about Hai Xian, Lu Qingxiao and others, she hurriedly followed him.

When Guangchang Hou took his things and was about to leave, Old Lady Duan stopped him and asked hurriedly, "What happened? Where is Hongyu?"

Marquis Guangchang wanted to say something, but saw Lu Qingxiao outside staring at him like a demon. He frowned and said, "This marriage is not going to work," then he walked away.

After going back and forth for so long, when Haixian and his men returned to Wenhe Hall, the Duke of Yingguo was almost asleep.

Haixian coughed heavily, and the Duke of England opened his eyes sharply in an instant.

As soon as he opened his eyes and saw Marquis Guangchang, Duke Ying almost jumped up and rushed to Marquis Guangchang.

While Marquis Guangchang was still not able to react, they searched his body and found the token of love and the birthday card.

"Your Majesty! Found it!"

Duke Ying happily handed the things to Hai Xian and said with a smile, "Please help, Eunuch Hai."

Haixian smiled without saying anything, turned around and presented the things to the emperor.

From the time when Duke Yingguo searched Marquis Guangchang's body to when Haixian presented the things on the imperial desk, Emperor Rong'an remained silent.

Even though Guangchang Hou was dissatisfied, he did not dare to make a noise. He just held the Duke of Ying tightly and said, "How dare you search my body so roughly in front of the emperor!"

Duke Ying pushed Marquis Guangchang away, very dissatisfied: "Don't touch me, you old man, and you still have the nerve to yell at me! I treat you as a brother, but you raise a homosexual son to insult my daughter!"

"I didn't beat you to death, it's all because of the laws of this dynasty that you are protected!"

The Duke of England spoke with righteous indignation, and Emperor Rong'an laughed when he heard it.

As his confidant, what he says is really interesting sometimes.

Marquis Guangchang was choked to death by Duke Yingguo. He wanted to retort, but when he heard Emperor Rong'an laughing, he backed off.

Lu Qingxiao saw the look on Marquis Guangchang's face, and his eyes grew even colder.

"Marquis Guangchang, do you know why I summoned you into the palace?" Emperor Rong'an looked at Marquis Guangchang.

Marquis Guangchang broke out in a cold sweat, his legs softened and he knelt down: "I know."

The Duke of England found this scene so offensive that he simply turned his head away.

I felt that this person had no integrity, and the second brother's words "You don't know people well" sounded like thunder in my ears.

Emperor Rong'an actually didn't have much impression of Marquis Guangchang.

There aren't many titles in the court, so he should have some sense of presence.

Unfortunately, this generation of Marquis Guangchang had no special abilities and lived on the title bestowed by his ancestors.

If it weren't for the eunuchs assigning festival rules during every festival, Emperor Rong'an would not have remembered it at all.

Seeing him today, I can see that he has lost all the character of his ancestors. It's such a pity for the old Marquis of Guangchang.

"The marriage between you and the Duke of England is not a good match. I will annul this old engagement. Do you have any objection?"

Emperor Rong'an was very indifferent throughout the whole process. When he opened the birthday invitation of the youngest daughter of the Jiang family, he asked Marquis Guangchang casually.

Marquis Guangchang lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at the emperor.

When he heard these words, his heart finally settled down.

"I... have no objection." Marquis Guangchang said patiently.

Emperor Rong An nodded, "In that case, I will give you another oral order."

"The original marriage contract between the Duke of Yingzhou and the Marquis of Guangchang is annulled. From now on, marriage between men and women has nothing to do with each other. In addition, when the Duke of Yingzhou's daughter Jiang Zhiyue gets married in the future, the Duke of Yingzhou can come to the imperial court to ask for an imperial decree to grant her marriage."

"This is my small compensation for breaking off the engagement with your daughter."

Upon hearing this, the Duke of England knelt down in joy and thanked the Emperor: "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace. Long live the Emperor!"

Compared to the Duke of England's jubilation, the Marquis of Guangchang seemed much more dejected.

Emperor Rong An didn't want to talk any more, so he started to chase them away: "Okay, leave now that you're done. I'm tired."

Duke Yingxing happily took his leave, and Marquis Guangchang did not dare to show his dissatisfaction and took his leave with him.

As soon as he walked out of Wenhe Hall, Marquis Guangchang called out to Duke Yingguo, "You..."

"Stop!" The Duke of England jumped three feet away, wishing he had never met the Marquis of Guangchang. "Second Brother said I was wrong about you, but I didn't believe it. You are so shameless."

Marquis Guangchang was stunned. Seeing Duke Yingguo trying to avoid suspicion, he suddenly remembered that they used to drink and chat happily together and were as close as brothers.

The marriage contract was also made for this reason.

I didn't expect...that things would turn out like this.

The Duke of England didn't want to care about Marquis Guangchang's sudden depression. He suddenly remembered that the birthday card and certificate of broken engagement were still with the emperor!

He turned and went back.

Marquis Guangchang walked out in a daze.

The Duke of England returned to the Wenhe Hall and wanted to go in, just as Haixian came out.

Haixian saw him turning back and asked him what was the matter.

British public birthday card.

Hai Xian looked at him awkwardly and said, "The emperor has something to discuss with the young general. I'm afraid it's not convenient to see the Duke now. Why don't you come back tomorrow?"

The Duke of England had no other objection to this. He thought that since the saint had promised Achan that she could marry freely, it would be fine.

When Hai Xian saw Duke Ying leave, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and entered the Wenhe Hall, and replied to Emperor Rong'an: "Duke Ying has left."

Emperor Rong An held Jiang Zhiyue's birthday card in his hand, looked at Lu Qingxiao with a smile, and asked, "Wubing, tell me, should I grant another marriage to the daughter of the Duke of Ying?"

Lu Qingxiao felt a sudden tension in his heart, but he remained calm and said, "Sixth Miss Jiang has not yet reached the age of marriage, so it is too early to grant her marriage."

Emperor Rong An smiled and said, "Sixth Miss? I'm talking about his concubine's daughter, Third Miss Jiang."
