C78 Drawing the Flag

In the private room, Qing Lianer's expression was a little unnatural. After all, she suddenly knew that she was going to marry into another country, so she naturally could not keep calm. For the latter who was used to playing around, this was indeed a serious problem.

"Imperial Brother, why don't I just go somewhere else?" Qing Lianer said.

Tai Yuan was shocked when he heard this. The princess of a country had suddenly escaped. This would definitely become the biggest matter in Cloud Rising Country. At that time, he might even be implicated.

"Sister, do you think things will go so smoothly? Father will definitely send someone to protect us from the shadows. If you leave the Imperial Capital now, I'm afraid you'll be immediately arrested. " Qing Kangping said.

Chu Tian understood that Qing Kangping wasn't lying. In fact, he could also sense the gazes of some people. Even though this was under the feet of the Son of Heaven, it was impossible for the prince and princess to be completely unprepared.

"Then what do you think I should do, brother? Do you really want me to marry into another country?" Qing Lianer said anxiously.

"It is useless for you to run away from this matter, but Imperial Father doted on you the most. If we can add Brother Chu Tian's help, perhaps there is still room for a turning point in this matter." Qing Kangping said.

Qing Lianer seemed to have grasped a glimmer of hope when she heard this. She looked at Chu Tian, but as if recalling what happened just now, she averted her gaze.

"I'm just an ordinary disciple of the Pill Cauldron Sword Sect. I'm afraid that I won't be able to overthrow my decision so easily." Chu Tian said.

Now that he was deeply involved in this matter, it was impossible for him not to help. However, he felt that there was not enough room for him to interfere in this matter.

"Brother Chu Tian, you are too modest. There aren't many people who can become the Sect Master's disciple. Just this identity alone is enough to win respect. Moreover, the Grand Preceptor had praised you before. I think if the Grand Preceptor can support you when the time comes, there will be room for revoking the marriage. " Qing Kangping said.

"Although the Grand Preceptor did have a good impression of me just now, I'm afraid it won't be easy for him to express his support for me. "Chu Tian said.

"Don't worry, Brother Chu Tian. I'll settle this matter between us. However, before that, I'd like to ask Mr. Chu a question. Is it possible for you to support this Imperial Sister of mine?" Qing Kangping suddenly said.

These words attracted the attention of everyone present. Qing Lianer also looked at Chu Tian. Facing the gazes of everyone, Chu Tian helplessly sighed. He knew that Qing Kangping would definitely ask this question.

"Miss Lianer is smart and sharp. I'm afraid that any man will fall in love with her, but I already have a beauty in my heart. I'm sorry." Chu Tian said.

Qing Lianer couldn't help but lower her head when she heard this. There was a trace of disappointment in her eyes. Qing Kangping also sighed, although he had already guessed that this would be the result.

"In that case, Mr. Chu can be considered as my personal request. I hope you can help my sister get through this crisis." Qing Kangping said.

"Don't worry. I will also help you to the end." Chu Tian said.

"Third Prince, although we can't help much, if there is anything we need help with, please don't be polite. We also need to do our best." Tai Yuan said.

"Thank you, both of you. If you need help, I will ask for your help." Qing Kangping said.

Because of Qing Lianer's matter, there was no way for the celebration banquet to continue. Now that the marriage was imminent, Qing Kangping did not want to waste any more time.

After that, Chu Tian, Qing Kangping, and Qing Lianer parted ways with Tai Yuan and Zhou Xiu. They rushed towards the Grand Preceptor's mansion, but at this moment, a group of guards suddenly blocked their way.

"How dare you! Do you know who is sitting inside?" The coachman shouted angrily at the guards in front of him.

Chu Tian and the other two also walked out of the carriage. Chu Tian sneered in his heart when he saw the guards outside. The Crown Prince was really impatient. He had attacked so quickly.

"How dare you! I have something to do, so hurry up and get out of my way!" Qing Lianer was very anxious about her marriage. When she saw these people blocking in front of her, she naturally did not have a good attitude.

"Subordinate and the others have received the Crown Prince's order. I heard that there are traitors hiding here." A man who looked like the head of the guards spoke.

"Are you trying to say that I'm secretly hiding traitors and that there are crimes to be committed?" Qing Kangping said coldly. At this moment, a dignified aura was emitted from his body.

The captain of the guards who was suppressed by this aura started to lose his confidence. He hesitated. The two people in front of him were a princess and the Third Prince. He wouldn't dare to do this even if he had his head chopped off.

However, he still had the Crown Prince behind him. If he didn't follow the orders, he would be in an even more miserable state.

"Third Brother, don't make things difficult for the people below. He is only doing this for the sake of caution. Although this is under the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is precisely because of this that we can't be careless. If the rebels take advantage of this loophole, it will be a disaster. "

At this moment, a voice was heard. The latter was just as the two had expected. It was the Crown Prince, Qing Zheng.

"Big Brother, what do you mean by this? Don't tell me you really think that I'm hiding a crime?" Qing Kangping said. His tone had become somewhat serious.

Even if the other party was the Crown Prince, Qing Kangping didn't want to continue hiding his guilt.

"Third Brother, don't be angry. As the Third Prince, you naturally won't do such a thing. I'm just curious about this friend of yours, Chu Tian. After all, no one knows about his background. I'm only doing this for the sake of my safety. " Qing Zheng said.

Judging from the latter's expression, it was obvious that he wasn't prepared to stop just like that. Chu Tian sighed helplessly. That was why he was disgusted by this kind of official family. They would always use their power to pressure others.

"Big Brother is speaking the truth. Now, Chu Tian and I have been invited by the Grand Preceptor. We were just about to go to the residence. Since Big Brother thinks that the person invited by the Grand Preceptor isn't reliable, then... Why don't we go to the Grand Preceptor's estate and make sure? What do you think?" Qing Kangping said.

Qing Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he frowned. He wasn't present earlier, so he had no idea that Xu Yi was praising Chu Tian. However, he knew that Qing Kangping would never joke about something like this.

If the Grand Preceptor knew that Qing Kangping was using him as a shield, the situation would be very unfavorable to him. If it was the truth, he would dare to doubt the person the Grand Preceptor approved of. Even if he denied the Grand Preceptor's approval, he wouldn't dare to bear the responsibility.

After weighing the pros and cons, although Qing Zheng was very displeased, he understood that it was best to retreat for now. He did not want his third brother to catch on to him.

Qing Zheng wasn't stupid. He knew very well that the civil and military officials of the court valued Qing Kangping very much. As the Crown Prince, if he made any mistakes, it would be fatal.

"So that's the case. It seems like I, as the elder brother, have been worrying too much. Since he is the Grand Preceptor's guest, he naturally can't be a thief. Third Brother, you guys go ahead first. Don't let the Grand Preceptor wait for too long. I'll follow these guards and patrol the area once more. This will also be a way to contribute to the Empire." Qing Zheng smiled and said.

"It's a blessing to have a crown prince like big brother who is willing to do his best for the common people." Qing Kangping said.

Chu Tian and the other two retreated into the carriage again. The guards immediately retreated to the sides, and a cold light flashed across Qing Zheng's eyes.

This was the first time he had suffered two losses in a row. He became even more wary of his third brother. His third brother might be the biggest obstacle in front of the Emperor's Map.
