Princess Yongning's residence.
"Detestable stinky little brother, sooner or later I will snatch the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow back!”
Gu Qingge, who knew nothing about what had happened in court today, was sulking.
Ever since he returned from the mystic realm, Gu Qingge had not been happy for a single day.
Until now, she was still planning how to snatch the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow back from Gu Changsheng's hands.
At this moment, Gu Tianqi personally came to Princess Yong Ning's manor.
"Father, why are you here?"
Seeing Gu Tianqi, Gu Qingge was also puzzled.
As the emperor, Gu Tianqi would usually not go to the private residences of princes or princesses.
When meeting a prince or princess, they would usually be summoned by a eunuch from the Emperor's side.
This time, not only did Gu Tianqi personally come to Princess Yong Ning's manor, but he was also accompanied by the Imperial Advisor of Great Qian Dynasty, Daoist Ling Kong.
"Imperial Father missed you, so he came to see you and discuss something with you.”
Seeing Gu Qingge, Gu Tianqi also smiled slightly, his usually serious face revealing a trace of affection.
"Imperial Father, if there's anything you need, you can directly ask the Jazshi Residence to come over. Your son will personally enter the palace to see Imperial Father.”
Although he had lived two lives, Gu Qingge still respected Gu Tianqi very much.
It was said that the royal family was ruthless. The princes schemed against each other, fought openly and secretly, and the princess often became a tool for marriage.
However, ever since she and Gu Changsheng were born, Gu Tianqi had poured all his heart and soul into them and doted on them.
Even Gu Qingge, who was plotting for the position of Crown Prince and participating in the war as a woman, had always been tacitly approved by Gu Tianqi and had never stopped him.
However, Gu Changsheng's position as the Crown Prince was still as stable as Mount Tai.
This was a royal family affection that Gu Qingge had never felt in his previous life!
"Uh, this…"
Looking at Gu Qingge who was smiling brightly in front of him, Gu Tianqi stammered and didn't know what to say.
"Father, what's wrong?"
Gu Qingge also frowned. Gu Tianqi's state was something that even Gu Qingge rarely saw. An ominous feeling welled up in the depths of his heart.
"Sigh, today, the heir of Nanming King Kang and the successor of the Void Sacred Land have come to propose marriage. They want you to marry into the Nanming Empire.”
In the end, Gu Tianqi sighed deeply and told him everything that had happened during the court session.
From the attitudes of the Nanming Empire and the Void Sacred Land to the attitudes of the civil and military officials, Gu Tianqi spoke of everything.
"What?! You want me to go through a marriage alliance? Father, are you joking?”
After hearing this, Gu Qingge exploded on the spot.
He didn't expect that this kind of thing would still fall on her in the end.
The women of the royal family had always been a tool to stabilize the country and to gather people's hearts.
Gu Qingge had thought that she was different, but she did not expect that she would be facing such a situation.
"Father, you agree?"
Gu Qingge's eyes widened as she stared at Gu Tianqi.
"Isn't Imperial Father here to ask for your opinion?”
Gu Tianqi's scalp went numb from Gu Qingge's stare. He had never felt this much pressure when he was arguing with the civil and military officials and envoys of other countries!
"Your Highness, I've been observing the weather at night. The Great Qian Empire is in turmoil. If Your Highness doesn't go to Nanming for a marriage alliance, it will bring an unprecedented catastrophe to our Great Qian Empire!”
At this moment, Ling Kong suddenly spoke up and tried to persuade Gu Qingge.
"No, it's absolutely impossible for me to get married!”
Gu Qingge refused without thinking.
What kind of joke was this? She was determined to ascend the throne!
If she were to marry, would the emperor still be able to do it?
Was he going to take revenge or not?
"Princess, please don't cause trouble. You should prioritize the world's affairs! The princess was a noble member of the royal family. She was worshipped by the world and revered by the people. Now that the Great Qian Dynasty was in trouble, why couldn't the princess sacrifice herself for the people?”
"Moreover, the marriage alliance is not a bad thing. This Penniless Priest sees that the son of King Kang is mature and steady, with outstanding talent. He can be considered a talent.”
Ling Kong's expression was also slightly gloomy as he pressed on, not giving Gu Qingge a chance to refute.
"What a joke. Since when have we, the mighty Great Qian Dynasty, been afraid of Nanming and that Crown Prince of the Kang Empire? He's clearly a coward. Imperial Preceptor must be blind to see that he's someone important.”
Gu Qingge was instantly enraged as he glared at Ling Kong and said firmly.
In short, it was wishful thinking for her to marry into the family!
"Your Highness, you…"
Ling Kong was angered by Gu Qingge's words, and a fierce look flashed across his eyes. Just as he was about to continue pressuring Gu Qingge, he was interrupted by Gu Tianqi.
"Son, we can't afford to offend the Void Sacred Land!”
Gu Tianqi sighed deeply, his hair turning white from worry.
If there was only one Nanming Empire, Gu Tianqi would have been able to hold on even if he had to use all his resources.
? But with the addition of Void Sacred Land, there was no hope.
At that time, it would be a small matter to cede territory and pay compensation. If they were not careful, the country's fate would weaken and the country would be in danger!
For the sake of the country and the people, letting Gu Qingge marry through marriage was the best solution at the moment.
"Why me?!"
Gu Qingge was also disappointed. How could she not understand the pros and cons of this?
He dared to confront Ling Kong head-on, but she did not want to embarrass Gu Tianqi.
When he found out that the Void Sacred Land was up to no good again, endless hatred welled up in Gu Qingge's heart again.
He was practically gnashing his teeth!
Back then, the Void Sacred Land backstabbed her, causing her to die. The once prosperous Great Feng Dynasty fell apart.
Now, he was even forcing her to become a tool for marriage!
However, she couldn't deal with Void Sacred Land yet, so she couldn't do anything about it.
But she, Gu Qingge, was not willing to accept this!
Seeing this, Gu Tianqi's heart ached. He let out a long sigh, and tears appeared in his eyes.
"My son, being born into the royal family is the greatest fortune and also the greatest misfortune.”
Being in the royal family was the greatest fortune, but also the greatest misfortune.
Fortunately, they lived a life of luxury and did not have to worry about food and clothing.
Unfortunately, she had become a tool for marriage, and her life was at the mercy of others.
The moment he said this, Gu Tianqi's hair seemed to have turned white, and he looked much older.
Gu Tianqi's heart ached even more when he made this decision.
As long as he could see it, even if there was a trace of hope, Gu Tianqi would not appear here today.
He was Gu Qingge's father and the ruler of the world.
The matters of the world were more important than personal life and death. The entire dynasty was in his hands. He could not and would not allow his emotions to affect his decisions!
"I'll consider it."
Seeing Gu Tianqi's hair turn white in an instant, Gu Qingge's heart softened, and a hint of pity appeared in her eyes.
In the end, he didn't reject her directly.
Gu Tianqi was really good to her. At least in this situation, he had come personally to ask Gu Qingge for her opinion even though it could be settled with an imperial edict.
Even her father from her previous life was not as good as Gu Tianqi.
"Alright, my son. Think about it carefully. Father won't disturb you anymore.”
After saying that, Gu Tianqi brought Ling Kong and left Princess Yong Ning's manor.
"Princess, please prioritize the world!”
Before leaving, Ling Kong did not forget to warn Gu Qingge.
The hatred in Gu Qingge's heart grew stronger.
Looking from afar, Gu Tianqi's back no longer had the imperial demeanor of the past. Instead, there was a trace of loneliness and desolation.
As a father, as an emperor, he couldn't even protect his own daughter. What was the point of him having the throne?
Looking at Gu Tianqi's desolate back, Gu Qingge clenched his fists tightly. Killing intent surged in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth in hatred.
" Void Sacred Land!!!"
