701: The Imperial Marriage

The Imperial Marriage

Gu Chaoyan frowned as well. She did not believe that each monster was tamed, because any monster that was tamed would lose its power of fight. So there must have been other methods to control them.2

Gu Chaoyan thought for a while. "Maybe it is a kind of poison or drug, I will only know when I see it."

Zhou Huaijin did not think that it was a simple thing either.

He rubbed Gu Chaoyan's head and said, "Alright, I have already gotten Fu Bao to look into that. I have no other business for today, please go to bed. I will go back to the mansion to deal with something."

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

There had been too many things happening today, but luckily, everything was under control.

After seeing Zhou Huaijin off she went back to her bed.

Mutated monsters? If such a thing existed, chaos would arise!

Gu Chaoyan, who had not been to the space, visited there again tonight. The space had become much larger than before, and mist was everywhere in the extended area.

The herbs inside the space grew very well. The phoenix was growing more beautiful as it filled out with feathers.

He was just drinking the magical water and did not seem to have any interest in Gu Chaoyan as she walked in.

Gu Chaoyan looked at the bird, wondering if he was like those monsters Zhou Huaijin talked about, except that they were just of different categories?

Actually, when she got the egg, she also ran into an enormous wild boar. She was wondering why such a huge wild boar existed. And Xiu Jie was injured by some large apes as well. These animals shared one thing in common - they were simply so huge!

Maybe everything was connected.

Gu Chaoyan let out a sigh of relief.

She was just about to walk out of the space, when the bird shouted. "Dumbass!"

Gu Chaoyan ceased her steps and looked at him with a frown.

However, the phoenix ignored her and continued with his drinking.

Gu Chaoyan was feeling helpless. She walked out of the space then she laid down and fell asleep.

The following day…

In the Golden Hall…

Few things were happening in the morning session these days, except that Honored Princess Jing and Duke North were granted with their titles. Those happy things took place at the Ministry of Rites, and the officers from other ministries were available. Therefore, it seemed to be quite a peaceful morning session.

Everything was the same today as before, but… the King did not announce the closure. Instead, he said, "I still have one more happy thing to announce, read the imperial order."

Hearing that an imperial order was about to be announced, the officers exchanged some whispers among themselves, wondering what was happening for the King to be announcing the imperial order?

The King let out a small cough and the court quieted down.

The Eunuch announced. "According to the King's order and the arrangement of the heaven, the Prince from the North Qi Land is handsome, talented and excellent, so Princess Xunyang will be marrying him."

What?! A marriage alliance?

The officers were so surprised that their eyes were popping out.

That seemed so ridiculous! There were never any marriage alliances among the four countries. The Saint Divine Land was a powerful land and even if there was something like a marriage alliance, it should be the prince of the Saint Divine Land that married the princess of the North Qi Land, instead of the other way around.

Chu Tian, the Prime Minister stepped out and said, "King…"

"The session is over." The King had no interest in discussing the whole thing and left directly.

The confused officers were alone in the court.

Zhou Huailing went to the hotel directly after the morning session and met Xuan Lin, to whom he gave the imperial order.

When Xuan Lin saw the imperial order, he looked proud. "Lord Ling, how is it?"

"Congratulations." Zhou Huailing answered briefly.

Xuan Lin gave the imperial order to his staff and then said emotionally, "Well, I do prefer the lady I met in the court."
