Chapter 688 Forced into the Palace
The streets of the capital are very quiet today, and no one is lingering outside, as if to prevent accidents from happening.
Xiao Chiye stood behind Wu Hanyu: "Be careful in a while, don't worry about Princess Zhuoma."
Wu Hanyu nodded gently: "You should be careful too."
The streets of the capital were so quiet that it didn't seem like a prince's wedding, and all the shops along the streets had their doors and windows closed.
Xia Wanniang stood beside Aunt Xiao with a few children.
The ministers were all waiting with smiles for the newcomer to enter the palace.
Wu Hanyu and his companions arrived at the palace in trepidation and entered the main hall smoothly.
Wu Xiao looked at the two people who came in and asked the Ministry of Rites to follow the procedure.
Xiao Chiye walked to Xia Wanniang's side and without saying a word, he just watched them complete the palace procedures.
Several other princes were also allowed to be released today to attend Wu Hanyu's wedding.
After the ceremony, Wu Hanyu will take Zhuoma back to his palace.
Wu Xiao looked at the two of them and said, "I hope you can have children for the royal family soon."
Princess Zhuoma blushed and bowed to Wu Xiao.
When Wu Hanyu and Princess Zhuoma were about to leave the hall, a group of royal guards appeared at the door and blocked it.
"I don't think you can go back today."
The Ninth Prince stepped out from the side and blocked the way of Wu Hanyu and the other person.
Wu Hanyu looked at the person in front of him: "Brother Jiu, what are you doing?"
The Ninth Prince looked at Wu Hanyu, and then at Wu Xiao who was sitting above him: "Don't think I don't know that my father wants to pass the throne to you."
Wu Xiao looked at his son below and sighed: "So you are preparing to force the emperor to abdicate now?"
The Ninth Prince looked at him and said, "Father, it's better to give the throne to me than to this loser!"
"Xiaojiu, what are you talking about?" The Eighth Prince looked at him in disbelief.
The Ninth Prince looked at the Eighth Prince and said, "Brother Eight, you are not so naive as to think that this position will eventually fall on your head, are you?"
The Eighth Prince: "It's not your turn then."
The Ninth Prince spread his hands and said, "So I can only grab it myself." Then he looked at the Royal Guards behind him.
Wu Xiao still had no expression on his face: "Xiao Jiu, if this is the number of people, I'm afraid it's not enough."
The Ninth Prince: "Who said I only have a few people? The palace is now surrounded by the city guards."
He seemed to have thought of something when he said this: "Oh, by the way, several countries outside Daxia have already sent their armies to the border. Only if you give me the throne can you avoid the suffering of the people of Daxia."
After saying this, he looked at Wu Xiao who was sitting on a high place: "My father loves the people of Da Xia so much, he will definitely not let his people suffer, right?"
Wu Xiao smiled and nodded: "Indeed, I don't want to see the people of Daxia suffer."
Xia Wanniang complained: "So why marry so many wives? The children born are not of the same mind and always cause trouble."
Wu Xiao felt a headache when he looked at Xia Wanniang: "You are still making sarcastic remarks now."
Xia Wanniang stepped out of the team and asked the children to follow Aunt Xiao.
She looked at the envoys from various countries who were watching the show and said, "I actually prepared a gift for you envoys, but you have to wait a moment. Let's take care of our family affairs first."
"Before that, I would like to ask all the envoys to put away your little tricks, otherwise you will definitely regret it."
After Xia Wanniang finished speaking, she looked at a man in the Xiangguo envoy team and said, "Since Crown Prince Zhong Li has come, he didn't even tell us. We are sorry that we haven't entertained him well enough."
Zhong Li looked up at the woman standing in the hall: "I just arrived and didn't have time to say anything. I didn't expect that the Princess Zhenguo actually knew me."
"The Crown Prince is both talented in literature and martial arts, and has unparalleled wisdom and strategy. It would be difficult not to know him." Xia Wanniang smiled slightly.
Zhuo Li glanced at the Seventh Prince without leaving a trace: "I am just here to watch the ceremony and do a business with the Emperor of Daxia."
Xia Wanniang noticed the look he gave the Seventh Prince and said, "It's better to do this deal later."
The Ninth Prince was furious when he saw Xia Wanniang, and shouted to the imperial guards behind him, "What are you still standing there for? Kill this woman for me."
