Chapter 465: Chapter 462: Cannot be Empty_1

The Emperor nodded. The Tan Imperial Master’s family was indeed a family of scholars, making them a fitting match. The Imperial Master’s granddaughter marrying the Emperor’s son was considered a suitable union.

"Convey My intentions to King Liang..." The Emperor, still mindful of his son who would prepare the golden elixir for him, wanted to first inquire about his son’s thoughts. The Emperor squinted at Gao Demao and said, "Persuade King Liang with your own words. The Dong family has always valued their reputation. If King Liang forcibly marries, Dong Qingping may not tolerate his daughter who has tarnished the family name! Observe King Liang’s reaction carefully for Me! Upon your return, report back without missing any expression!" _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

Gao Demao was startled, realizing the Emperor was beginning to suspect King Liang, and quickly complied.

Watching Gao Demao leave, the Emperor slowly leaned back on the dragon throne, raising a hand to stroke the dragon head on the armrest.

Regarding his son King Liang, the Emperor’s suspicions about him had never completely dissipated. The incident where he accused Bai Weiting... He claimed it was to save King Xin. With Qin Dezhao dead and no evidence of the grain issue, the Emperor confined him to the mansion. Observing that King Liang behaved obediently during that period and with the Crown Prince pleading on his behalf to let him oversee disaster relief in Yanwo, the Emperor, considering he was his son, consented!

Later, the disaster relief in Yanwo failed. King Liang brought back an alchemist, claiming that in searching for the alchemist, he had botched the relief efforts. The Emperor was moved by King Liang’s filial piety.

The Emperor could tolerate King Liang’s ambition and actions to vie for the throne. However, he could not tolerate King Liang’s close association with ministers wielding substantial military power.

The Emperor still shuddered at the memory of the Second Prince’s rebellion and usurpation attempt. Such an incident must never occur again.

The Emperor squinted. If King Liang truly had feelings for the Dong family girl, he would be reluctant to see her life endangered.

But if what King Liang valued was Dong Qingyue’s military power, intending to stop at nothing, then... he could not blame his father for being heartless.

When Bai Qingyan left the Dong Mansion, the sky had already turned completely dark.

The moment Bai Jinzhi saw Bai Qingyan come out, she hurried over, "Eldest Young Lady! The Crown Prince has already entered the palace. Don’t worry! That old man instructed the Crown Prince that if King Liang wants to marry Sister Tingzhen, he must not allow it! Then... what will happen to Sister Tingzhen?"

"Don’t worry, Tingzhen will be fine!" Bai Qingyan ruffled Bai Jinzhi’s hair, walking with her towards the Bai Mansion, which now had the plaque of the Princess of Zhen’s residence.

Dong Tingzhen’s heart was entirely set on King Liang. Though Bai Qingyan’s words brought a shred of doubt in her regarding King Liang, her uncle Dong Qingping’s stern warning made her cry but not yield, holding on to a sliver of hope in her heart.

In Dong Tingzhen’s heart, the weight of her whole family did not compare to that of King Liang, showing how adept King Liang was at manipulating hearts.

But Bai Qingyan did not resent Dong Tingzhen. In their past lives, she too had fallen for King Liang’s schemes.
