However, it had been a bit more than a month, and no one had expressed any interest. After all, they all knew of the Lelai Kingdom’s situation. 300 Cities was incredibly important to any faction, and only an idiot would throw them away like this.
After thinking about this, the other branches of the imperial family felt quite reassured and believed that no one would come. However, they did feel quite worried about the situation outside.
On one hand, all of them wanted to be Emperor and rule over the Lelai Kingdom, but on the other hand, there was this crisis to deal with. It was possible that they could all be destroyed.
As such, they felt quite complicated about this matter.
However, if they wanted to seize power, it would depend on the situation outside. Otherwise, if they just tried to take power through brute force, very few people would accept this.
The main branch felt even more worried. There was danger outside and danger inside, and they desperately wanted the power to protect their Kingdom. However, they had waited for so long, yet no one had come, making them feel quite disappointed.
Zhao Fu looked at the shocked guard and nodded, confirming that he was indeed here to marry the Princess.
The guard came back to his senses and reminded Zhao Fu, “The person who marries our Princess must provide 300 Cities. If you do not have them, please leave, or else you will be guilty of lying to the Emperor, which is a capital crime.”
“I understand, go and report this!” Zhao Fu said as he lightly laughed.
Seeing Zhao Fu speak with such confidence, the guard let out a sigh of relief in his heart and turned before running into the Palace.
The various factions had ordered that if anyone came to marry the Princess, they were to be notified immediately. Zhao Fu’s arrival caused this Kingdom, which was in the middle of strife, to be shaken because his arrival would definitely cause massive changes.
Within the Palace, a graceful and luxuriously-dressed woman sat there with a frown on her face as she held a sleeping boy in her arms. There was also a young woman sitting next to her, who had extremely beautiful looks, an elegant figure, and a gentle and quiet demeanor. She also looked quite worried.
Now that the main branch was quite weak, the other branches were continuously gathering people, making some important Ministers favor them more. The situation was becoming grimmer and grimmer.
“I greet the Empress Dowager and the Princess. There is someone outside saying that he wishes to marry the Princess,” the guard reported, making them both feel delighted, and they hurriedly invited Zhao Fu into the Palace.
After hearing about this, the other branches felt quite shocked and also hurried to the Palace, wanting to know how things would develop. If anything out of their expectations happened, they could hopefully stop it.
If that person thwarted their plans, they would act first and kill him.
Zhao Fu was already seated within the hall. He saw a luxuriously-dressed middle-aged woman and a beautiful young woman walk in, followed by palace maids.
Zhao Fu stood up and cupped his hands, saying politely, “I greet the Empress Dowager!”
Before coming, Zhao Fu had already made preparations. He had investigated the Lelai Kingdom and had precise information about it, and he knew about some of the major figures.
The Lelai Kingdom’s Empress Dowager was called Le Yuyu, the Princess was called Le Zhiwen, and the little Emperor was called Le Xiang.
Le Yuyu smiled as she nodded in response, and she did not mind that Zhao Fu did not kneel. After all, only those with status lower than hers would do such a thing, and for Zhao Fu to be able to give 300 Cities, his identity definitely was not simple.
Le Yuyu sat down and said, “Sir most likely knows about the situation regarding the Lelai Kingdom, so We have no need to explain it. If Sir can provide us with 300 Cities, We will marry the Princess to you, and you will be the Imperial Son-In-Law of the Lelai Kingdom.”
Hearing this, Zhao Fu smiled as he replied, “I have prepared them already; don’t worry, Empress Dowager.”
Le Yuyu’s anxiousness went away, and she smiled. She looked at Zhao Fu and said, “Sir is about to become the Lelai Kingdom’s Imperial Son-In-Law, so there’s no need to wear a cloak and hide your appearance anymore, right?
“Also, if it is possible, can you tell Us about yourself? This will help Us understand Our son-in-law.”
The Lelai Kingdom’s Princess, the young man standing next to her, slightly blushed as she looked at Zhao Fu expectantly.
No matter what Zhao Fu looked like, as long as he could provide 300 Cities, Le Zhiwen had to marry him. Not only for the Lelai Kingdom but for her mother and little brother as well.
If Zhao Fu was someone who she could like and could treat her well, that would naturally make Le Zhiwen feel quite happy.
After hearing Le Yuyu’s words, Zhao Fu thought about it before taking his cloak off. Now that he was going to become their son-in-law, he indeed could not continue to hide his appearance.
The cloak slowly fell, revealing Zhao Fu’s incredibly handsome face and slim figure. He was dressed in black, and his black hair fell to his waist. He gave off a domineering, prestigious aura that could make anyone feel intoxicated.
Zhao Fu was not the same Zhao Fu as before; after such a long time, both his aura and appearance had greatly changed.
Le Zhiwen’s heart rapidly beat. She was incredibly satisfied with both Zhao Fu’s appearance and demeanor. Thinking that this person would be her husband in the future, her face became red as she looked towards her mother.
Le Yuyu’s face was also slightly flushed, and her breathing became somewhat agitated. Her body was also slightly trembling, making Le Zhiwen feel quite startled.
Le Yuyu’s heart was beating quite quickly; Zhao Fu’s body seemed to have some sort of attraction, making her feel immense desire. The Phoenix Qi within her body stirred restlessly as if it desperately wanted this man in front of her.
Only after a while did Le Yuyu notice her daughter’s gaze. She quickly quelled the emotions within her and smiled as she said, “Beloved son-in-law is far exceptional to an ordinary person in both looks and demeanor. We have no objections. I wonder where beloved son-in-law is from?”
Zhao Fu once again cupped his hands as he replied, “I am from a faraway place and happened to pass by. I heard that the Lelai Kingdom’s Princess is a celestial beauty and that anyone could have her hand in marriage for just 300 Cities, so I decided to come.”
After saying this, Zhao Fu looked at Le Zhiwen and gave a polite smile before pretending to blush.
Zhao Fu had many women around him, so he understood women quite well now. However, using this sort of method was a bit too shameless. He was only doing this to steal their Kingdom.
Hearing Zhao Fu’s words, Le Yuyu thought to herself. Zhao Fu was definitely not a Garssi person, and his identity definitely was not simple. If he became her son-in-law, there might be consequences in the future.
In actuality, Le Yuyu’s ideal targets had been the Princes in the surrounding Kingdoms. That way, they could obtain the help of their Kingdoms as well. However, the Kingdoms attacking the Lelai Kingdom were not simple, and because the Kingdoms around them did not want to make any trouble, none of them were willing.
