Married To The Cruel Crown Prince Chapter 567 - Granted

Chapter 567 - Granted

In the evening, Huan Tsu went to the Emperor's manor to meet him. Han Wenji was taking his medicine when the maidservant informed him about Huan Tsu.

Han Wenji drank the medicine first and told the maidservant to let Huan Tsu in. Eunuch Jin took the bowl from the Emperor and put it on the tray which a maidservant was holding. She left while Huan Tsu stepped in.

He greeted Han Wenji, who gestured to him to take the seat. Huan Tsu sat on the chaise. "Bring the tea for us," Han Wenji ordered Eunuch Jin, who walked out.

"I could not take good care of your daughter. I apologize for that," Han Wenji lowered his eyes with an expression of guilt on his face.

"Your Majesty, the Princess told me that if she would not have intervened then many lives could have come in danger. She did her duty, so I request His Majesty not to apologize to me," Huan Tsu humbly said.

Han Wenji smiled. The tea server came in with a tray in her hand. Eunuch Jin stood behind Han Wenji while the tea server started to prepare the tea. She handed the teacup first to Han Wenji and then to Huan Tsu.

Huan Tsu sipped the tea and put the cup on the table. He looked at Han Wenji and said, "Your Majesty, my daughter told me about her likeness towards the Sixth Prince."

"Ahh, yes. The Crown Princess has informed me about their relationship. Both of them like each other," Han Wenji a.s.serted.

"I would like us to go forward with their relationship. Also, I would like to meet the Sixth Prince, Your Majesty," Huan Tsu expressed his desire. Han Wenji tilted his head and Eunuch Jin understood him.

"It would be my pleasure if your daughter becomes the daughter-in-law of the Royal Han Family," stated Han Wenji.

Huan Tsu was thankful for this.

"Huan Tsu, my health is degrading day by day," Han Wenji told him.

It worried Huan Tsu. "What has happened to His Majesty?" He asked.

"A prolonged illness which has no cure. I do not have much time," Han Wenji answered. Huan Tsu was disheartened to learn about this. "I do not think I will be able to survive till the Youngest Prince turns an adult," Han Wenji heaved a sigh and frowned.

"Did His Majesty look for the cure? There might be some cure for your illness. What about the Crown Prince? Did he search for it?" Huan Tsu asked with a panicked expression.

"There is no cure, Huan Tsu. The infection has spread throughout my body," stated Han Wenji. Eunuch Jin reached the chamber with the Sixth Prince, who greeted both of them.

"King Huan Tsu wants to talk to you regarding your marriage with Zhu Lin," Han Wenji told Lei Wanxi, who was astonished to hear this.

Huan Tsu smiled and told the Prince to take the seat. Lei Wanxi sat on the chaise next to Huan Tsu and looked at him.

"Princess Zhu Lin had told me about the two Princes whom she had expressed her desire to marry, before coming to Luoyang. Her first choice was the Crown Prince. However, he got married before she could come here and her second choice was the Fourth Prince, Prince Nianzu, who married someone else.

However, during her stay in the Imperial Palace, she got to know about the Sixth Prince and fell in love with him. My daughter is a serious type of lady and she believes a cheerful person like Prince Lei Wanxi is the most suitable man for her," Huan Tsu said while looking at Lei Wanxi.

"Prince Wanxi, I have not heard much about you. The glory of the other Princes is well known to me. As a father, I have a few concerns for my daughter. Also, I would like to know what kind of work you prefer," Huan Tsu rested his words and waited for Lei Wanxi to reply, who glanced at his Father.

"Prince Wanxi, answer whatever you feel," Han Wenji told him.

Lei Wanxi never got nervous in his life. But in front of the father of Zhu Lin, he felt nervous and also short of words. After contemplating for a few minutes, Lei Wanxi said, "I kill my time while roaming in the streets of the market. I never once cared about the political affairs of the Court as my rest brothers do. However, my interest is in engaging with people directly. I want to work in the Capital Bureau Office and after my Fourth Brother returns, I will join the office."

"I basically want to work at the microscopic level so that I can directly listen to the grievances of the people and accordingly aid my brothers and father in eliminating those problems," Lei Wanxi explained to Huan Tsu, who smiled.

"My daughter also used to do this. I have no problem with that work. Engaging directly with the people is a more effective way of Governance," Huan Tsu affirmed.

"Why does Prince Wanxi like my daughter?" Huan Tsu asked him.

"Zhu Lin… forgive me! Princess Zhu Lin showed me my real self. I always wandered, sometimes in the palace while the other times in the market, and killed my time. No one ever dared to say anything to me because of my father and my elder Fifth Brother. I never even tried to self-a.n.a.lyze my real self. However, when Princess Zhu Lin entered my life, I realized that I never worked on my growth and only took things for granted. No one ever bothered my thoughts, as she did. I never fought with anyone but she was an exception. There are numerous things to tell, but words will get less if I elaborate them," Lei Wanxi truthfully told everything to Huan Tsu.

"I a.s.sure you that I will keep Princess Zhu Lin happy. Also, I will never let such a situation arise. I will protect her," Lei Wanxi affirmed.

Huan Tsu smiled. "I got the words of Prince Lei Wanxi. That's why my daughter started to love you. I have no problem with this relationship.. I would like His Majesty and the mother of Prince Wanxi to make a final decision on this," Huan Tsu said and agreed with this marriage.
