Emperor Fire

The MPs looked at each other.

The old councilor felt that this was a good time to ease the atmosphere, so he stood up and said, "I think it would be a good idea to have afternoon tea in the yard."

Xi Luo waved Sosuo and said, "Before that, I want to introduce someone to you first."

Soso walked over to Xi Luo with the snacks in his hand.

"My future partner." Ciro stood up, put his arms around Soso's waist, and smiled, "Soso Vantra."

Soso Vantra?

This familiar name made many congressmen present restless.

The old councilor said in astonishment: "You mean, Prince Suo Suo of Gu Lan?"

Sosuo put down his snacks and replied gracefully: "Yes. Nice to meet all of you here."

The old councilor suppressed his trembling, looked at Xi Luo helplessly and said, "The future partner you mentioned refers to..."

Xi Luo said: "The Crown Princess."

The study suddenly felt like a frying pan.

Everyone's expressions are so vivid.Taken together, all expressions can be categorized as surprise and rejection.

The old councilor said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, Prince Suo Suo of Gu Lan is being wanted by King Gu Lan."

Siro said: "You should be very clear about the real reason why you are wanted."

The inside story of the Gu Lan royal coup was not a secret to many nobles in Dreamland.

"Yes. But," the old congressman said implicitly, "I don't think this is the time to meddle in Gu Ran's internal affairs."

Suo Suo wondered, "Why do you want to interfere in Gu Lan's internal affairs?"

The old councilor said: "Even if you don't have the will, once you become the Crown Princess of our country, the Banding Empire will have to intervene in Gu Lan's internal affairs." King Julan designated Prince Suosuo as a wanted criminal, but the Banding Empire To enshrine him as the crown prince concubine is clearly an embarrassment to King Gulan.Although at other times, he would have been willing to hit this follower who followed Shamanlier all day long, but it was definitely not now.Their current number one enemy is King Kasdaron II, and it is really inappropriate to stretch the front line.

In fact, Ciro's sudden mention of the Crown Princess made Suo Suo feel very sudden.He replied very understandingly: "Actually, I didn't agree..."

"We can announce the news later." Ciro interrupted him.

Soso looked up blankly.

Ciro said: "I told you just to let you be mentally prepared."

The old MP understood.Ciro's implication is that they don't have to think about his marriage anymore.He leaned forward and said, "Yes, I understand."

The other councilors wanted to say something, but they were stopped by the old councilor with a wink.He said: "If Your Highness doesn't mind, I would like to take them for a walk in the sunshine."

Shi Luo raised his hand and said, "Please go ahead."

The old councilor led the councilors to salute, and slowly exited the study.

Suo Suo waited for them to leave before asking Xi Luo, "Why do you say I'm the Crown Princess?"

A trace of disappointment flashed in Shiro's heart.Suo Suo asked, obviously not ready to agree.But he quickly cheered up, as long as people were by his side, he believed that one day he would leave his heart behind. "They want me to marry the Richards or the Danyas."

Suo Suo asked in surprise, "Marriage?"

Ciro said: "Yes. Right now, I urgently need a bargaining chip to increase the weight of the parliament."

Suo Suo said, "What are you going to do?"

Xi Luo said, "Isn't I already engaged?"

Suo Suo froze for a moment, then suddenly realized that the engagement he was talking about was with himself, and hurriedly said: "But, but, we are not..."

"You want me to get married?" Shiro asked casually.

Soso was questioned.His heart seemed to be saying... no, no. "Everyone should have the right to freely choose marriage." He said, "I hope you will be happy."

Ciro couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, "Well, I will try my best."

Sosuo blinked his eyes, as if he understood something, but he seemed a little uncertain in his understanding.

Ciro picked up the donut, "You asked the chef to make this?"

Suo Suo's attention was immediately diverted by him, and he said, "Yes. The chef said you like it."

Ciro took a bite and chewed, "It's delicious."

Sosuo pushed his share in front of him, "I'll give you mine too."

Ciro tore off a small piece and handed it to Soso's mouth.

Soso opened his mouth to hold it, but found that Xi Luo's fingers lingered between his lips and teeth.He hastily took half a step back and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bite you."

Shi Luo withdrew his finger, sucked it in his mouth, and said, "It's okay. I voluntarily."

Suo Suo looked at him, his face slowly becoming hot.

Ciro turned his head and said to Galen who was standing by the side as a statue from the beginning to the end: "Please invite them back, the tea time is over."

Sosuo hurriedly stuffed the donut into his mouth, and left with the plate.

"Wait." Shiro grabbed his arm.

Soso looked back suspiciously.

Ciro raised his finger and gently wiped the sugar from his mouth, "Okay."

"Ah, thank you." Suo Suo hurried out when he heard footsteps outside.

Members of Parliament just walked in from the courtyard.Seeing him, the councilors headed by the old councilor hesitated for a moment, but still saluted.But they secretly reminded themselves that this ceremony was not done to the Crown Princess, but to Prince Gu Lan.

Back in the study, the atmosphere is different again.

The members of parliament seem to carry the breath of sunlight in the yard and the fragrance of flowers and plants, dispelling the previous unhappiness.

The old councilor said: "Your Highness. Before you return to China, His Majesty the Emperor has been secretly working for the approval of the remaining 44 votes. Although our loyalty to you will never waver, we must take into account the relationship between the Richard family and the Danya family. position. We have just discussed again, and asking Her Majesty the Queen to return to the emperor is the best way at present."

Xi Luo said: "Since my elder brother passed away, my mother's spirit has deteriorated greatly. I don't want her to delay her recuperation because of my affairs."

The old councilor said: "I understand your filial piety very much, but please also appreciate the motherly love of His Majesty the Queen. I am here at this time, she must very much hope to come back to help you."

The door was pushed open with a snap.

Olivia came in as if no one was there, and said, "I agree with Mr. Danio on this point."

Old Senator Danio smiled at her.

Olivia raised the letter in her hand and said, "Actually, she has already left."

Members of Parliament talked a lot, but they were beaming with joy.

Olivia said: "But don't be too optimistic. Don't forget, Samantha has a good relationship with the Richard family, but the Danya family..."

The members who had been joyously fell silent again.

Councilor Danio said: "The Richard family has a total of thirteen councilors, and the Danya family has seventeen councilors."

Another congressman said: "That is to say, if the queen returns to the imperial capital, we will lose two votes instead?" The Richard family and the Danya family maintained a silent tacit understanding before, agreeing and opposing each cast [-] votes.If Queen Samantha returns to the country to pull Richard closer and push Danya away, it means that they will fully have [-] votes from the Richard family and lose [-] votes from the Danya family.

"Then what should we do now?"

"The number of votes of the Danya family is also very important."

"Perhaps, please ask Your Majesty the Queen not to come back yet?"

MPs whispered like bees buzzing.

Olivia said: "Don't be too pessimistic. Since Samantha made such a decision, she must have her reasons."

The MPs fell silent, then glared at Olivia.

Because they found that she had said both sides of the story by herself.

Councilor Danio said, "When will Her Majesty the Queen arrive?"

Olivia said: "Within three days. She needs more than two days to pack her luggage."

Councilor Danio thought for a while, and tentatively asked, "Would you like to report this news to His Majesty the Emperor?"

Olivia said: "Not for the time being. In case he can't fall asleep by stirring his pig's brain."

It wasn't the first time they'd heard her refer to an imperial emperor with a pig, and they didn't think it would be the last, so they learned to... numb.

Councilor Danio said: "Then, I think the only thing we can do now is to wait for Her Majesty's arrival."

Members got the answer and said goodbye to Ciro one after another.

After all the members left, Olivia said to the expressionless Ciro: "You don't look happy at all."

Xi Luo said: "I don't think mother's current physical condition is suitable for returning to the imperial capital."

Olivia said: "I agree with your reason, but I don't agree with your conclusion. Believe me, even if she reluctantly stays to recuperate, she will definitely not be able to achieve the effect of recuperation. Instead of this, it is better to let her help you with this matter." Deal with it."

Ciro said: "I can handle it well."

"Ask Vincent to help? Or are you planning to launch a coup?" Olivia crossed her chest and looked at him.

Ciro said: "I think both are good."

Olivia said: "Then bring turmoil to the empire that may last for several years? After all, Castaron II's influence spreads all over the empire. Unless you can wipe them all out, someone will definitely want revenge every day. How to lift you from the highest position in the empire."

Ciro raised his head and said, "Do I look like an impulsive person?"

"Do you think Kasdaron II looks like a fool?"

"Isn't it like?"

Olivia thought for a while and said, "Sorry, I mistyped the metaphor. Well, let's get down to business, what is the reason for you to bring Suo Suo back and let him go back to school?"

Ciro said calmly: "He will become the mother of the empire."

"A piece of shocking news." Olivia didn't make a fuss like the others, but just shrugged, "I think Samantha will be very interested."

Ciro remembered something, looked at her and said, "You are a fire magician."

"Yes." Olivia knew what he was thinking just by looking at his expression, "You want me to be Soso's mentor?"

"He has broken the seal."

"I'll think about it." Olivia said, "if he's as strong as the legend says." Burning down a royal palace at a very young age...sounds good.

Ciro said: "Legends are always unreliable, at least for Soso's legend..."

Olivia frowned.

Ciro said: "Too underestimated him."
