Chapter 144: Prince Consort, you must help me!

Daji appeared, and in an instant attracted everyone's attention.

Even Emperor Xin, who usually wasn't swayed by women or lust, couldn't help but take a few more looks.

"Finally here?"

Ao Yifan's eyes flickered with a faint golden light; under the Heavenly Eye, Su Daji's condition was clear to him at a glance.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Ao Yifan approached Emperor Xin's side and whispered.

"Prince Consort, speak freely!"

Speaking of before, Emperor Xin found Ao Yifan—the brother-in-law who had eloped with his sister—displeasing no matter how he looked at it.

However, today Ao Yifan's performance pleased Emperor Xin greatly, so his tone when speaking to Ao Yifan improved considerably.

"Your Majesty!"

Ao Yifan said, and immediately set up a soundproof barrier.

"Your Majesty, do you know who the woman performing the dance below is?"

"Huh?"

Frowning, Emperor Xin, not understanding, said: "I just asked my attendants; that woman is indeed the daughter of the Marquis of Wing Prefecture—what's the problem?"

"No!"

Ao Yifan shook his head and said: "She is not the daughter of the Marquis of Wing Prefecture, but a monster from the Nüwa Palace!"

"What!"

Emperor Xin, extremely clever, connected it to what happened earlier that day at the Temple of the Holy Mother Nüwa; he didn't need Ao Yifan to explain, he understood it all, and suspected a sage's scheme was involved.

"Damn it!"

His face darkened, Emperor Xin raised a hand.

"Your Majesty, what do you intend to do?"

Ao Yifan suddenly asked.

"Naturally, to behead Su Hu's daughter; otherwise, do you intend to keep her to harm me?"

Emperor Xin said coldly.

Upon hearing that, Ao Yifan said: "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid I might be mistaken?"

"I trust you!"

Emperor Xin said noncommittally: "Besides, even if you were wrong, it's just a mere woman; killing her by mistake is a mistake, and compared to my Great Shang, what is this little sacrifice?"

"Tsk tsk, such a heavy killing intent!"

Ao Yifan thought, but kept his composure and said: "Your Majesty, killing Su Daji is easy, but thwarting a sage's scheme is not."

Frowning, Emperor Xin asked: "Prince Consort, do you have a permanent solution?"

"Steady!"

Ao Yifan smiled and said: "Rather than killing this woman, it's better to turn the tables on her, keep her steady; that way, even facing a sage's scheme, we can remain calm and composed."

"What do you mean?"

Emperor Xin didn't understand.

"Your Majesty, select this woman to enter the palace, place her under your very eyes; then even if the sage has any scheme, you will see it clearly."

Ao Yifan proposed.

"Prince Consort, are you trying to harm me?"

Emperor Xin was dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, why say that?"

Ao Yifan was somewhat surprised.

"Hmph!"

Emperor Xin snorted coldly: "You also said that Su Daji is a monster under the sage; I often hear that monsters can absorb people's essence and spirit, yet you let me summon her into the palace—are you trying to kill me?"

"This, indeed, was my oversight as a subject."

Ao Yifan said.

At this moment, Emperor Xin's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said: "Prince Consort, you are an accomplished cultivator; if you face that monster, do you have confidence?"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Ao Yifan asked.

"I can summon that monster into the palace, but I need you to take my place and deal with it!"

Emperor Xin said.

Upon hearing that, Ao Yifan's face changed, and he said: "Your Majesty, this, how can this be, my wife's side..."

Emperor Xin glanced at Ao Yifan lightly and said: "Prince Consort, do you think I don't know about your scandalous affairs? As for Suzhi's side, I will cover for you; this Su family girl, you must resolve it for me!"

Emperor Xin's tone left no room for doubt, with no intention of consulting Ao Yifan.

This further made Ao Yifan realize what it means to serve a ruler like serving a tiger!

"Sigh——"

He let out a long sigh; facing his elder brother-in-law, what could Ao Yifan do?

After all, he is a Human Emperor; even though Ao Yifan possesses the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal peak, he dare not act against him.

"Wait, when Jiao'er ascends the throne, I will truly be able to stand up!"

Ao Yifan secretly thought.

The circumstances are stronger than the person; Ao Yifan could only agree to his elder brother-in-law's rude request.

"Your Majesty, you must keep this matter hidden from Suzhi; I don't want her to misunderstand!"

Ao Yifan said.

"En"

He lightly nodded, and immediately Emperor Xin ordered Ao Yifan to remove the soundproof barrier.

"I, the king, see that this girl's dance is exceptional; whose daughter is she?"

Emperor Xin spoke, and Su Hu and Su Quanzhong's faces suddenly changed.

Just as the two were thinking about how to gloss over this matter, what they didn't expect was that Su Daji actually voluntarily announced her lineage.

"I am the daughter of Marquis Su Hu of Yi Province; I admire Your Majesty's bearing and specially offer this dance; please do not disdain it, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, many officials in the hall turned their gazes to Su Hu and his son, a hint of contempt flashing in their eyes.

After all, feudal lords have their own dignity; even when facing the king, they should not grovel so.

At present, Su Hu sending his daughter to the king to perform a dance speaks for itself.

At the same time, Su Hu's face was also grim; he could not understand why his daughter, who had originally been strongly opposed to the king, would suddenly become like this.

"Good, good, very good!"

Emperor Xin laughed loudly: "Su Hu!"

Being named by Emperor Xin, Su Hu had no choice but to step forward.

"Your Majesty!"

Su Hu, accompanied by Su Quanzhong, bowed in salute.

"En"

Emperor Xin nodded and said: "I, the king, wish to take your daughter into the harem; do you have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, Su Hu's face changed, but before he could refuse, Su Daji spoke first.

"I am willing!"

Su Daji knelt and performed the salute, her face full of gratitude: "To be able to serve Your Majesty is my honor."

"Good!"

Emperor Xin gave Su Daji a deep look from below.

Even he could not help but admit that this woman was extremely beautiful; however, to him, beauty was like fleeting clouds, and what he valued was only his own dynasty.

"Father, what should we do now?"

Su Quanzhong urged anxiously.

"This matter, first ask Daji what exactly is going on."

Su Hu said with a grim face.

After the banquet ended, many feudal lords congratulated Su Hu.

However, how many of them are sincere, and how many just want to see Su Hu's joke, is unknown.

"Follow me!"

Watching Su Daji slowly walk away, Su Hu, for the first time, gave his beloved daughter a cold stare.

Regarding this, Su Daji did not care; if not for fear of causing complications, she could have taken his life tonight.

"However, for now we still need this identity to enter the palace, and let your mind rest on your head."

Su Daji narrowed her eyes and followed her father out of the palace.
