In the past two days, no one bothered Luo Ci. The eldest prince and the second prince who had been trying to get closer before didn't see anyone at all, and even the Emperor Chu didn't take the time to appear in front of her.

Although she didn't pay much attention to these things, she knew them well.

That night, the imperial dining room delivered dinner, and she was about to pick up the chopsticks to start, but she heard footsteps, she turned her eyes slightly to look over, it was fragments.

He was dressed in white, and when he approached her, it brought a chill, Luo Ci couldn't help but touch his clothes, it was icy.

But there was a thin layer of sweat oozing from his forehead, and his breathing was a bit rough.

He came here in a cold suit.

She squeezed the veil to wipe off his thin sweat, poured him another cup of hot tea, and said in a slightly angry voice, "Why are you running in such a hurry?"

Chu Si slowly recovered his breathing, and said seriously, "I'm in a hurry to see you."

He hadn't had proper contact with her for two days, and the two days were very tight, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

All the plans were disrupted and canceled, and the layout was re-arranged, just to get a bargaining chip.

With his current power, it is true that he can't control the state of Chu, but if the fish dies and the net is broken, the foundation of the state of Chu will definitely be shaken. This is something the emperor of Chu would never want to see.

His voice was clear and shallow, "Tomorrow, you can take me back to Luo Country."

This is to let her ask Chu Huang to marry him.

She nodded her head, "Okay, go after dinner, we will pack up and leave tomorrow."

After all, she added more food for Chu Si, and also picked up a lot of dishes, "You need to eat more."

Fragment has lost a lot of weight in the past two days, and he felt that his body was thin.

Chu Si's eyes warmed slightly, "Okay."

Not long after the meal, Luo Ci asked Shard to rest in Mingyou Hall, while he went with the maid.

When Emperor Chu met the ministers in the Imperial Study Room, there were constant voices of anger and reprimand.

On weekdays, the Emperor of Chu seldom dealt with political affairs at night, and now he still meets with ministers at this point, I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic.

I don't know how long it took, the imperial study returned to calm, the door opened, and the ministers left with heavy faces, but when they saw Luo Ci outside, they still barely maintained their demeanor and greeted her.

Luo Ci bowed her head slightly in return, and she stepped into the imperial study room. Emperor Chu had restrained all his emotions at this moment, and said with a smile on his face, "It's so late, why is Emperor Luo here?"

Luo Ci was not procrastinating, "This emperor wants to marry the fourth prince, Chu Si, as his queen."

The Emperor of Chu was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, but the Luo State has to send troops to help Chu State deal with the barbarians, and I can promise to donate five cities as Chu Si's dowry."

After all, she climbed up to her current position from among the queens, able to bend and stretch. Although she didn't have any great achievements, there were not many people among the common people who complained about the Emperor Chu.

Although she is greedy for power, she has not forgotten the people of Li, and has always maintained the bearing that the lord of a country should have.

Between the security of Chu State and taking advantage of the fire to further expand Chu State's territory, she chose the former.

He even took out five cities as a dowry.

Luo Ci was very surprised, it was completely different from what she imagined, she was already prepared for the other lion to open his mouth.

Noticing the surprise in her eyes, Emperor Chu smiled wryly. She underestimated Chu Si, and even more underestimated Chu Si's attachment to Luo Ci.

She still remembers the scene this morning.

As soon as Chu Si changed from normal, his shallow pupils were very calm, as if he was not looking at his mother, like a stranger, "If the Emperor Chu agrees to my conditions, I will not shake the foundation of the Chu Kingdom."

Chu Huang stared at him, "Don't forget, you are from Chu!"

Chu Si's tone was light, and his voice was extremely low, "Who made the Queen Mother only think about using me to extract the interests of the Luo Kingdom?"

As long as he thought of the Emperor Chu using the city and military strength to measure the relationship between them in front of her, and even bargaining for it, his heart would be filled with violence.

It was clearly a matter between him and her, but he wanted her to be blackmailed by the Emperor Chu, he was not willing at all!

Emotional matters, how can the slightest interest be mixed.

As for the barbarians, how could he really cooperate with the barbarians, how could he really let the barbarians invade the state of Chu and harm the people of the state of Chu.

In the end, Emperor Chu was helpless, "I promise."

She didn't expect her son, whom she had been neglecting, to hide so deeply. If it develops for a few more years, Chu State might change hands, and the situation in the country would also change drastically.

It is no longer that women are superior to men and women are served by three husbands and four servants.

It's just that he has been dormant for so long, and he will give up willingly for one person.

In the end, she was a little unwilling, she sneered, "You must know how fickle women are in the world. If you see one and love the other, you have no looks, and even the power in your hands is surrendered. Sooner or later, she will despise you."

Chu Si's voice was cold, "It's just like you treated your father back then, isn't it?"

After a while, his expression softened a little bit, and his tone was very gentle, "But she won't, absolutely not."

This is the trust from the heart of the teenager.

The sun shines in in the morning, and the right face is under the light, white and flawless, really beautiful.

Emperor Chu was blocked by him and had nothing to say.

...

Luo Ci returned to Mingyou Palace very smoothly, she couldn't figure it out, how could such a profiteer as the Emperor Chu add the dowry of five cities to the fragments.

It wasn't until he returned to the temple and hit the fragments that he came back to his senses.

Chu Si hugged her halfway, his voice was extremely gentle, "What are you thinking?"

Luo Ci spoke out the doubts in his mind.

He smiled lowly, "Because those five cities don't belong to her in the first place, so I'm willing to give them away."

Even if you feel distressed, you have to give it away, after all, it is a matter of Chu State's face.

Luo Ci paused, so these five cities are fragmented?

Chu Si rubbed her chin against the top of her hair for a moment, and said in a regretful voice, "I can only save the dowry for five cities."

He couldn't help but think that if it was later, he might be able to present the entire Chu country to her.

In her heart, she couldn't do it, what if she liked someone else if he didn't meet her earlier.

Luo Ci clicked her tongue.

It's okay to save a dowry for yourself...

In fact, there are already many.

Fragment is only fifteen years old, and has already accumulated a lot of power.

Moreover, the geographical locations of the five cities are very good, not those deserted small cities.

She thought for a while and said, "Then can I also get ten cities as a bride price?"

She is the empress, ten cities should be enough to support the fragments, right?

Seeing her tugging at her sleeves as if wondering whether ten cities would be enough for the betrothal, Chu Si's heart was so soft that he said hoarsely, "As long as you are the betrothal gift."

"That can't be done, just ten cities, lest those ministers look down on you, that's it."

If Chu Si had no strength, the dowry would naturally be given to Chu State, but now it is equivalent to directly falling into his hands.
