Chapter 33

Editor: ghost

Zhou Xu glanced at the crown prince who was beside the emperor, and as a result found that the crown prince who always maintained a cold expression had immediately changed.

“Father Emperor?”

The emperor was also shocked. This crown prince was always silent and serious, what happened now?

“En? Royal son, what’s the matter?”

The crown prince walked to Zhou Xu, intending to kneel with him. Zhou Xu shot him a faint smile, turned his head towards the emperor and said, “Your majesty, please forgive this small official for being impolite. The sixth princess is an ephemeral beauty of royal lineage, but this small official has no fate with her because this small official’s heart already belongs to someone else.”

The crown prince looked at Zhou Xu deeply. The emperor also shifted his gaze to him, “You already have a marriage contract?”

“Not yet,” Zhou Xu answered, “but though there is no marriage contract, this small official’s beloved would be wronged if I don’t marry.”

“Ha ha ha. Since that is the case, we will not make things difficult for you.” The emperor looked at the crown prince to ask, “Royal son ah, why were you so impatient just now?”

The crown prince heaved a sigh of relief, answering, “Replying to Father Emperor, Zhou Xu and I are close friends. The matter of him having a beloved, this son also knew, thus was afraid that Father Emperor…”

“Oh, you are afraid that I will insist on him marrying sixth princess? How could I, I couldn’t bear to send ?”

Zhou Yong and Prime Minister Qi immediately knelt; the emperor was angry.

“Since this is the case, it must be that Zhou Zong Han is disrespectful and resisting the imperial decree. Servants, capture Zhou Zong Han and arrange an auspicious date for his public beheading. As for these two beloved ministers, continue kneel if you do not want to be charged guilty by association!”

Translator’s Note:

back with another chapter! heheh good for Zhou Zong Han, now he doesn’t need to go Jing Zhou anymore; i’m starting to pity Qi Lan it’s not really her fault that Zhou Zong Han is a shitty person overall and did a lot of shitty things in the original storyline. anyway, thank you for all the comments, i really appreciate them!!
