Xujunlou thought Xu Changqing was exaggerating and couldn't help but say, "It's not that serious, is it"

"Not serious"

Xu Changqing stopped and stared at Xu Junlou, saying: "Regardless of the relationship between His Highness and Wan Jiajiao, if there is no personal affection, Wan Jiajiao holds so many secrets about His Highness. Do you think she still has a chance to marry someone else Who is qualified to marry her And who would dare to marry her"

He glared fiercely at Xu Junlou, who was present. Xu Changqing said, “I was there when Sanbao passed away outside Qianyuan Palace and left his last words. His final request was to ask your Highness to be kind to Wan Jiajiao. You don't need me to explain this, do you”

Xu Junlou only felt a cold sweat break out all over his body.

The nascent affection he'd felt for Wan Jiaojiao vanished instantly. He hastily nodded and said, "Understood, understood, Uncle, rest assured. Nephew will never have any improper thoughts about Miss Wan again."

Seeing Xu Junlou's earnest words, Xu Changqing's expression eased. He nodded and said, "Since you know that, it's good."

"Your Highness, some things are worth fighting for. For example, I brought you to the East Palace tonight because I believe it's in your best interest to stay there. But Your Highness anticipated my arrival and had already made a decision, so he wouldn't see me and you, nephew."

"It doesn't matter if you come or not. It's our decision, and it's Your Highness's decision whether to see us. Your Highness wouldn't hold any opinion of us either way, it's perfectly natural."

But there are some things that you absolutely shouldn't cross the line.

Patting Xu Junlou on the shoulder, Xu Changqing said in a deep voice: "You are not young anymore, it's time to talk about marriage. I will have your aunt go out tonight to inquire about which girl is suitable for you and marry early for the good of your temperament and career."

"Unmarried and without children, you'll always be seen as a child in the eyes of others. Once you enter officialdom, how can you make people underestimate you"

Seeing Xu Junlou hesitate, Xu Changqing said: "Rest assured, your aunt and I will respect your thoughts. We'll find a suitable daughter from a well-matched family for you. With your current standing, you wouldn't be considered high-climbing for any family. If anything, you'd be the one being sought after. Leave this matter to your aunt."

Xu Junlou gave Xu Changqing a sincere bow and said, "Nephew, thank you, uncle."

"You and I need not speak of thanks."

Xu Changqing waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Go back early. We have to attend the morning court tomorrow, we can't be late."

Tomorrow morning's court session would be the first since the rebellion. The East Palace had already sent out orders throughout the capital city, requiring all officials eligible to attend the court session to be present and not absent for any reason.

Everyone knows that this morning court session will be of immense importance.

The imperial court will make an official statement regarding the recent rebellion and the mass executions of officials.

And this official explanation and ruling will be written into the history books, becoming true history.

A sliver of dawn appeared on the horizon, and with a rooster's crow, day broke.

The next morning, Li Chen had already gotten up and washed.

Wan Jiaojiao obediently and thoughtfully helped Li Chen change his clothes. As she dressed him, she said, "Yesterday night, Mr. Xu came with the magistrate, saying they wanted to see Your Highness. But I stopped them."ay early. Although Su Zhen'ting later took several concubines, anyone with discernment could see that it was merely a formality to appease appearances. For many years, there were no sons or daughters...
