Chapter 1001 The Prosperity of Ancient Farmers 39

Xia Yichu's assassination was a big or small matter.

Her status is not valuable, but the problem is that she is the seventh prince's sweetheart.

Ji Han took Xia Yichu back, and at the same time asked his subordinates to drag the unconscious men in black to a secret cell.

In the afternoon, rumors began to spread in the capital that the group of people who assassinated Xia Yichu were sent by Prime Minister Zuo because Guo Jiaojiao had been locked in her room since she returned last time and refused to go out.

For the sake of his daughter's marriage, Prime Minister Zuo spent a lot of money to buy Qianji Pavilion's killer, hoping to get rid of Xia Yichu, the stumbling block.

That night, Ji Han went to the palace overnight to see Emperor Xiaoyun.

Ji Han knelt in front of the desk and asked the emperor for marriage.

The emperor was so angry that he knocked over the inkstone in his hand. He glared at Ji Han who was kneeling below and said, "Old Qi, you would really rather marry a lowly civilian girl than marry the one I have arranged for you. A noble lady!"

"I have made up my mind. I am not here to beg for your consent, but just to inform you." Ji Han said with a face, and clearly expressed his unspoken intention, even if Emperor Xiaoyun did not agree. , he also wants to marry Xia Yichu.

Emperor Xiaoyun was extremely angry and laughed back: "You think you can really marry her without my consent."

"So, what happened this afternoon is indeed you, right?" Although Ji Han used rhetorical questions, his firm and cold eyes already represented his affirmation of this matter.

"Yes, it is indeed me. I was the one who bribed the killer of Qianji Pavilion. This time is just a warning from me." Emperor Xiaoyun admitted directly, and a touch of relief flashed in his eyes. He reacted so quickly, and it was worthy of him. It's his and Concubine Shu's child.

Ji Han's eyes fell on Emperor Xiaoyun. There was no pretense of flattery and respect for Emperor Xiaoyun from other princes on his face. There was only a cold look on his face, as if he did not regard him as his father at all.

When Emperor Xiaoyun saw Ji Han looking like a little wolf cub protecting his food, not only was he not angry, but he looked at him with interest.

"Su Tao, she was the daughter-in-law chosen for me by my mother-in-law when she was still alive. If you don't believe it, you can check it out." Ji Han said calmly.

Emperor Xiaoyun's expression changed when he heard that person's name from Ji Han's mouth.

Ji Han seemed not to notice the sudden change in his expression, and continued: "She rescued me from the cave three years ago. She also cured my mother's illness."

Ji Han was not afraid that his lies would be discovered by him. Anyway, since the death of his mother and concubine, there are not many old people who followed his mother and concubine now.

Moreover, because Xia Yichu cured Concubine Shu's illness, Concubine Shu even praised Xia Yichu in front of Emperor Xiaoyun after she came back.

Emperor Xiaoyun's eyes were downcast, and he had obviously thought of this matter.

His hand rested on the desk. After a long time, Emperor Xiaoyun said, "You can marry her if you want, but you must take my position."

Ji Han frowned after hearing this. After a long time, he responded, "Okay."

Emperor Xiaoyun seemed to have won a battle, with a smile on his usually serious face.

Ji Han was originally the person he thought was the most suitable candidate for the next emperor. He was intelligent, courageous and strategic. He didn't like killing, but he was also not merciful.

Such a person is suitable to be a master no matter in prosperous or troubled times.

But Ji Han disagreed. No matter how he threatened or tempted him, he just didn't want to be the emperor.

Now, the edict he had written a long time ago to establish the crown prince has finally come to light. Because of this, Emperor Xiaoyun's impression of Xia Yichu has increased a lot.

As for the matter of marrying wives and taking concubines, Ji Han was still young anyway. When he would eat meat and taste beauty, Emperor Xiaoyun would not believe that he could still control it.
