Chapter 301 The Choice of the 4th Prince
Duanmu Qin heard this, raised her head slightly, and looked at the Fourth Prince cautiously. The Fourth Prince's eyes were obscure, and he seemed to be immersed in the content of the letter just now, and he had not come back to his senses.
Seeing the expressions on the two men's faces, Dark Moon Fairy sneered, "Fourth Prince, do you think that with your current strength, you can win the throne in Dazhao? Or do you think that after you and the Third Prince succeed in joining forces, the Third Prince can really share the world with you? Don't dream! Once the Third Prince succeeds, he will be the first to kill you!"
The Fourth Prince's face turned gloomy, he clenched his teeth tightly, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness. However, he had to admit that what Dark Moon Fairy said made sense. The cooperation between him and the Third Prince was only a temporary measure, and once the Third Prince successfully seized the throne, he would inevitably face great danger.
Duanmu Qin frowned, she looked at Dark Moon Fairy warily and asked, "Why do you want to help us?"
Dark Moon Fairy smiled slightly, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes: "We are the King of Qin's people. If we help you capture Beiliu, you must become the King of Qin's ally!"
The fourth prince suddenly realized what Dark Moon Fairy was up to. It turned out that they wanted to use Beiliu's power so that the King of Qin could establish his own sphere of influence in the north and confront the Crown Prince.
The fourth prince took a deep breath and calmly thought about the current situation. He knew that forming an alliance with the King of Qin was also a good choice for him.
After all, in this world full of power struggles, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. As long as you can save your life and realize your ambitions, it doesn't matter who you ally with.
Duanmu Qin also fell into deep thought. She knew that the current situation was very unfavorable to her. If she could get the support of the King of Qin, there might be a glimmer of hope. But she also knew that an alliance with the King of Qin meant that she would lose some of her autonomy, but at this critical moment, she had no choice.
Finally, Duanmu Qin nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you. As long as you can help us capture Beiliu, I am willing to become the ally of the King of Qin."
Dark Moon Enchantress nodded with satisfaction. She believed that this transaction would definitely satisfy King Qin.
Duanmu Qin's heart warmed. She looked up at the Fourth Prince with tears in her eyes: "Are you really willing to give up everything in Dazhao for me?"
The fourth prince smiled slightly. He reached out his hand and gently stroked Duanmu Qin's cheek, saying softly, "How can I bear to let you face everything in Beiliu alone? You are such a good person. I hope that all the cruelty and blood will be borne by me!"
Blood Shadow and Dark Moon Fairy looked at each other. They really didn't expect that the Fourth Prince was actually a romantic man!
However, they could also understand the Fourth Prince's deep affection for Duanmu Qin. After all, Duanmu Qin was indeed an excellent woman, not only with outstanding appearance, but also with intelligence and talent.
The fourth prince took a deep breath and continued, "I know this is difficult, but as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome all difficulties. I will always be by your side, supporting you and protecting you. No matter what danger you encounter, I will stand in front of you without hesitation."
Duanmu Qin was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She held the Fourth Prince's hand tightly and said, "Thank you, Fourth Prince. I believe you will do it. Let's work hard together for our future and for our happiness."
The fourth prince smiled and nodded, his eyes firm and gentle, as if conveying endless strength to Duanmu Qin. At this moment, their hearts were closely connected, facing unknown challenges and difficulties together.
The fourth prince said to Blood Shadow and Dark Moon Fairy politely, "Please take a seat, both of you! I apologize for any offense I may have caused you before!"
After Blood Shadow and Dark Moon Fairy sat down, the Fourth Prince actually poured tea for them personally.
The fourth prince said with some envy: "In fact, I have envied my second brother since I was a child! Because he has a mother who is the most favored in the harem, and a maternal uncle and an uncle who command a large number of troops! Now he has the help of you heroes and the princess of Youli! It can be said that he is the most capable person to compete with the crown prince!"
Hearing this, Dark Moon Fairy laughed and said, "But he will also be framed by the Crown Prince! And you don't have to be too envious. After all, you are much luckier than the Third Prince. At least the princess you are marrying truly loves you, and she is not like the Third Prince who was used and deceived by Princess Yuewu."
The Fourth Prince had a happy smile on his face: "It is true! Princess Duanmu and I are truly in love! But how can we convince our father to let General Luo help us?" There was a hint of worry in his eyes.
Xueying said solemnly: "The alliance between Dazhao and Beiliu is limited to the Duanmu Imperial Family! Once Beiliu is no longer ruled by the Duanmu Imperial Family, if the new emperor is a warlike person, wars will frequently break out on the border between the two countries! This is a situation that Emperor Wen absolutely does not want to see!"
The fourth prince nodded slightly, showing his understanding: "It's too late tonight! After the morning court tomorrow, I will immediately go to my father to explain the situation."
Xueying nodded in agreement and reminded: "This matter must be dealt with as soon as possible. The Emperor and the Crown Prince of Beiliu don't have much time left! You should get married as soon as possible and go to Beiliu, so that Princess Duanmu can still have a chance to accompany your father and brother!"
Hearing this, Duanmu Qin couldn't help but shed tears. She bowed deeply to Blood Shadow and Dark Moon Enchantress with tears of gratitude: "Thank you two heroes for the news. Duanmu Qin will remember it in her heart! If you need our help in the future, please let us know!" Her voice was full of sincere emotion.
The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds, illuminating the entire capital. In the court of the imperial palace, the ministers were discussing. The emperor sat on the dragon throne, listening to the ministers' reports.
After the morning court session, the Fourth Prince and Duanmu Qin went to the Imperial Study together. They walked with firm steps and serious expressions, as if they had something important to report to the Emperor.
Arriving in front of the imperial study, the fourth prince stopped and said to Eunuch Gao beside him: "Eunuch Gao, please go and tell the emperor that Princess Duanmu and I have something urgent to ask for an audience with him!"
Eunuch Gao frowned and replied with difficulty: "Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered that I not see anyone today, and I cannot disobey!"
The fourth prince was anxious, but he remained calm. He leaned close to Eunuch Gao's ear and whispered a few words. Upon hearing this, Eunuch Gao's face suddenly changed, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes.
Eunuch Gao calmed himself down, then nodded hurriedly and said, "Fourth Prince, please wait a moment. I will go and report to His Majesty!" After that, he turned around and walked quickly into the imperial study.
Time passed by, and the Fourth Prince and Duanmu Qin stood outside the door waiting anxiously. Finally, Eunuch Gao came out of the imperial study with a little nervousness on his face.
Eunuch Gao lowered his voice and said, "His Majesty lets you in!" Hearing this, the Fourth Prince and Duanmu Qin looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and then stepped into the imperial study.
