" Royal Nephew, I would have forgotten if you didn't mention it," Zhao Heng said." You just married the Second Princess of the Northern Liang, Xu Weixiong, not long ago. You really should go and meet your father-in-law, Xu Xiao."”
"Here, I'll congratulate you on your marriage!”
As he spoke, Zhao Heng raised a glass of wine.
"Thank you, Imperial Uncle." Zhao Ce raised his glass and returned the gesture.”
The two of them then drank together.
After putting down his wine glass, Zhao Heng chuckled and said,""Royal Nephew, now that you have become Xu Xiao's son-in-law and can borrow the power of Northern Liang, I will have to rely on you in the future.”
"Uncle, you must be joking with me!" Zhao Ce smiled.”
"With Imperial Uncle's strength, how could he need to rely on me?”
Zhao Ce knew that Zhao Heng was very capable.
Zhao Heng was a Prince with a high position and authority. He was in charge of Qingzhou and had a large number of troops under him.
It was no exaggeration to say that Zhao Heng was also a strong contender for the throne.
Even though Zhao Heng failed to seize the throne back then and was severely suppressed by the current emperor, he still kept a low profile and accumulated a very strong family foundation.
As long as Zhao Heng was given a suitable opportunity, he would be able to soar into the sky.
Zhao Heng pretended to be serious and said,"Royal Nephew, I'm not joking."
"Who doesn't know that Xu Xiao is the number one official in the world?”
"No one can stop the 300,000 cavalry of the Northern Liang.”
"You have become Xu Xiao's son-in-law, climbing up the big tree of Northern Liang, naturally you will be like a tiger with wings, your power will increase greatly.”
"I can't compare to you. It's not reasonable for me to rely on you.”
Zhao Ce was too lazy to play along with Zhao Heng, so he said,""Imperial Uncle seems to have a point.”
"Royal Nephew, we should keep in touch in the future and get to know each other better." Zhao Heng laughed.”
"In the future, treat the King Jing 'an's Mansion as your own home and visit often.”
Zhao Ce agreed with Zhao Heng's feigned civility and nodded with a smile,""Alright, Imperial Uncle."
"I'm happy today," Zhao Heng said with a smile,"I need to drink more."”
"Royal Nephew, we won't go home until we're drunk tonight.”
"Alright," Zhao Ce replied readily.
Zhao Ce and Zhao Heng were both good actors.
The two of them cooperated with each other and acted, making the dinner party a happy and harmonious one.
After eating and drinking, Zhao Heng said to Zhao Ce,""Royal nephew, you can stay in the wangfu tonight!”
Without waiting for Zhao Ce to respond, Zhao Heng immediately said to Pei Nanwei,"Go and arrange accommodation for the royal nephews immediately.”
Pei Nanwei, who did not want to stay any longer, immediately replied,""Yes, Your Highness."
Pei Nanwei then stood up and left.
After Pei Nanwei left.
Zhao Heng said to Zhao Ce with a serious expression,"Royal Nephew, I have a presumptuous request, but I don't know if I can tell you.”
Zhao Ce glanced at Zhao Heng and said,""Imperial Uncle, feel free to speak."
"Well, my wife has always wanted to visit Beiliang." Zhao Heng smiled faintly.”
"Because I am in charge of Qingzhou, I am busy with work and cannot take my wife to Northern Liang.”
"This is not a coincidence. Royal nephew, you are going to Northern Liang, so I was wondering if I could trouble you to bring my wife along.”
After saying his request, Zhao Heng immediately added,"This…? It's not a big matter, I think Royal Nephew should be able to do it conveniently.”
Zhao Heng's words sounded like a moral kidnapping.
"This scheming fellow really has a good plan!”Zhao Ce silently criticized Zhao Heng.
Zhao Ce knew why Zhao Heng had asked him to take Pei Nanwei away.
Pei Nanwei was a descendant of the Spring and Autumn noble family. She had always harbored other thoughts and was not willing to marry Zhao Heng.
The relationship between the two of them was not very good.
In addition, Zhao Heng's son, Zhao Xun, had bad intentions towards Pei Nanwei, his stepmother.
Zhao Heng was afraid of revealing his family's dirty laundry.
Due to various reasons, Zhao Heng did not want Pei Nanwei to stay in the Imperial Residence.
Zhao Ce's visit had allowed Zhao Heng to come up with this method to get rid of Pei Nanwei.
To Zhao Ce, bringing Pei Nanwei along was not important.
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Ce said,"I don't care."
"As long as wangfei is willing, I have no problem.”
Seeing that Zhao Ce didn't refuse, Zhao Heng said happily,""That's good."
"I'll go and explain this to my princess in a while.”
The matter was settled.
Zhao Heng immediately stood up and bowed to Zhao Ce."I'll thank you first, Royal Nephew."
"It's a small matter, you're welcome." Zhao Ce chuckled.”
Zhao Ce was no longer in the mood to chat with Zhao Heng. He stood up and said,"I drank a little too much. I want to rest early.”
"Alright, I'll get the servants to bring you to the guest room now.”
Zhao Heng then ordered the servants to bring Zhao Ce and Qing Niao to the guest room.
Pei Nanwei was very efficient and quickly prepared the rooms for Zhao Ce and the others.
Zhao Ce and Qing Niao immediately checked in.
After Pei Nanwei finished her work, she returned to her room.
Before she could rest, Zhao Heng rushed in.
Zhao Heng's arrival filled the room with the pungent smell of alcohol. This made Pei Nanwei frown unhappily.
"Who do you want to see with that sad face of yours?”
The temperamental Zhao Heng did not hide his fiery temper in the absence of outsiders.
He glared at Pei Nanwei and berated,"Don't put on such a sad face in front of this king. It's too damn unlucky!"”
Pei Nanwei felt wronged, angry, and dissatisfied, but she didn't express it.? A trace of it was revealed.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Pei Nanwei returned to her expressionless face and replied coldly.
"Humph!"
Zhao Heng snorted coldly and then said angrily,"Pei Nanwei, I know you don't want to stay in the Imperial Residence.”
"To be honest, this king doesn't want to see you anymore. This king is very annoyed with you now.”
Zhao Heng made his words clear, and Pei Nanwei did not hide it anymore.
"Since Your Highness hates me so much, you might as well divorce me!" she said coldly.”
In order to survive, Pei Nanwei had no choice but to marry Zhao Heng.
She had thought that she would be able to live a better life with Zhao Heng's protection, but she did not expect to jump into a pit of fire.
Life didn't get better. Instead, it got worse.
Pei Nanwei realized that Zhao Heng and Zhao Xun were not good people.
She didn't want to stay in the King Jing 'an's mansion anymore. She wanted to get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible. Even if she had no protection, she would never regret it!
"Pei Nanwei, you finally spoke the truth.”
"Since you want me to divorce you, then I'll fulfill your wish!”
Hearing Pei Nanwei's words, Zhao Heng became even angrier.
In his anger, he really planned to divorce Pei Nanwei.
However, although he was angry, Zhao Heng did not lose his mind and did not forget his plan.
"Pei Nanwei, I can fulfill your wish and divorce you.”
"However, if you want the divorce agreement to take effect and completely cut off all ties with me, you must follow Zhao Ce to Northern Liang!”
