Chapter 564: Love at First Sight
Chapter 564: Love at First Sight
"Lord Yu, just say what you want to say directly, there's no need to beat around the bush." The Seventh Prince frowned, not wanting to say anything more to him.
"Night King, there's no need for such impatience. I'm here to help you. Does the Night King truly wish to remain subservient to Yu Huailin forever? You clearly have the opportunity to become emperor."
"If you hadn't opened the city gates back then, you would be sitting on the throne now."
Lord Yu said softly.
The Seventh Prince couldn't help but chuckle: "Lord Yu, do you really not know what happened back then? If I had been the Emperor, I might be dead by now."
Now, Lord Yu might not be speaking to anyone. Lord Yu, what I hate most is people speaking in riddles. If you continue like this...
"Then please leave. I have no time to talk to you."
"Very well, since the Night King is in such a hurry, then I will be frank. My daughter has fallen in love with the Night King at first sight and hopes that the two of you will become family."
"Night King, it is not that I am boasting, but my daughter is among the most distinguished daughters of the noble families in the capital, and she is more than capable of being the matriarch of a household."
Lord Yu felt that the Night King should have already guessed why he had come here. If he could agree to marry his daughter, it would be tantamount to agreeing to be with them.
The Seventh Prince naturally understood what Lord Yu meant. He smiled and said, "Lord Yu has already said that his own daughter is wonderful in every way. I am just a prince."
Lord Yu's daughter is clearly qualified to be sent to the palace. Could it be that you've given up on her and don't intend to let her enter the palace?
"His Majesty's mind is now solely focused on Song Miqiu, and no one else can get involved. Naturally, he must be abandoned. What? Does the Night King disagree?"
Lord Yu looked at the Seventh Prince seriously, his eyes slightly narrowed, and asked very earnestly.
The Seventh Prince smiled slightly: "Lord Yu is joking. I didn't say I disagreed, but I hope you can give me some time to consider it carefully."
Moreover, our two families' marriage is not just a matter between us; I still need to plan it out.
Upon hearing this, Lord Yu immediately knew that the Seventh Prince had agreed. After all, the marriage between their two families was no small matter, and whether Yu Huailin agreed or not was another matter.
Upon receiving the news, Lord Yu's smile widened: "In that case, I'll be waiting for the Night King's good news. Don't keep me waiting any longer."
"Of course." The Seventh Prince smiled slightly.
“Alright, then I’ll be going now. I hope the Night King will remember what I said tonight.” Lord Yu stood up and said softly.
The Seventh Prince also stood up and nodded slightly to him: "Then I won't see Lord Yu off any further. Take care on your journey."
Lord Yu smiled and nodded, then left the Night King's Mansion.
The Seventh Prince narrowed his eyes and his face was gloomy. He could naturally see what Lord Yu was up to today, which was why he did not explicitly refuse her offer to marry his daughter.
After figuring this out, the Seventh Prince went to his study, wrote a letter, and intended to send it to Yu Huailin.
After explaining what had happened that day, the Seventh Prince had someone deliver the letter to Yu Huailin. Even after finishing everything, he was still preoccupied.
When Yu Huailin woke up in the early morning, he quietly got out of bed and left the tent.
Meanwhile, the Seventh Prince's men were waiting outside. Upon seeing Yu Huailin, they respectfully said, "Your Majesty, a letter from the Night King."
Yu Huailin took it. Besides what Lord Yu had said, there was also a reminder from the Seventh Prince. He felt that Lord Yu had big plans.
"Did your master only send you this letter and not say anything else?"
Yu Huailin put the letter back and looked at the person who delivered it.
"My master only instructed me to deliver the letter to the Emperor, and said nothing else. I wonder if the Emperor wants to reply?" the man asked respectfully.
Yu Huailin thought about it seriously and decided that he should reply. In fact, he was a little jealous, after all, the Seventh Prince had liked Song Miqiu before.
"Of course I'll reply. Please wait a moment."
After Yu Huailin finished speaking, he returned to his tent, wrote it down, and handed it to the man, instructing him, "This is what I mean."
After the messenger left, Yu Huailin suddenly felt refreshed. He turned around and went back to his tent, sat on the edge of the bed, and even reached out to touch Song Miqiu's face.
Song Miqiu reached out and slapped him, saying sullenly, "What are you trying to do? You were just walking in and out. Is there something you need?"
"Did I just wake you up?" Yu Huailin asked, bowing slightly.
Song Miqiu lay on the bed and shook her head, saying, "No, I just heard some noises. Is it really nothing? If there's anything important, we should deal with that first."
"It's nothing serious. The Night King is in the capital, so I'm not worried at all," Yu Huailin said with a smile.
Looking at his smile, Song Miqiu felt that something was very wrong. She looked him over carefully and said, "Something's not right, something's not right. Why are you so happy?"
Even though you trusted him before, you didn't look too happy. What good thing happened to make you like this?
"Really? Maybe it's just that people are in high spirits because of a happy occasion. Do you want to get up? What would you like to eat? I'll have someone make it for you."
Song Miqiu quickly stopped her, saying, "No need, you should just act normal."
Yu Huailin wasn't angry at all when he heard this. He felt it was perfectly normal, after all, his rival was getting married, and he was actually quite happy about it.
Moreover, he had already planned to prepare a grand gift when the Seventh Prince got married.
When the Seventh Prince opened the letter, he saw only a few words written on it. Yu Huailin felt it was time for him to get married.
Upon seeing this, the Seventh Prince couldn't help but chuckle: "I never expected his solution to be like this. He's not worried at all that I would oppose him."
"Your Majesty, what did the Emperor write in his reply?"
“Yu Huailin thinks it’s time for me to get married. He’s been jealous. He knows I still have feelings for Song Miqiu, and he’s doing this to make me give up on those feelings.”
The Seventh Prince found his actions somewhat amusing. He did like Song Miqiu, but Song Miqiu had clearly rejected him, and he only wished for her happiness.
As for marriage, he didn't think he would always like Song Miqiu; he just didn't think he had met someone like himself yet.
"The Emperor is ordering the master to marry? Could it be that he really wants to marry Lord Yu's daughter? They clearly have ill intentions. If he marries her, who knows what might happen?"
The Seventh Prince sighed: "Lord Yu came to me hoping to use me to keep Yu Huailin in check. Yu Huailin is not like the previous emperors; he won't listen to their advice to expand his harem."
They felt it was difficult to control, so they wanted to destroy it, but they underestimated Yu Huailin.
