Capítulo 228: Chapter 212: Inquiry (Second Update) _3

The Emperor gradually calmed down upon hearing this, "So you're saying, she intends to seize the throne in Nanchu? And Zhou Gu…"

The old Duke bowed, "Your Majesty, Zhou Gu is not interested in marriage, neither to Daliang Princess nor to Nanchu Princess."

It was not his intention to be blunt, but the Emperor had once intended for Zhou Gu to marry the Princess, and after Zhou Gu evaded it, the Emperor indulgently allowed Qingping and Duanhua to entangle Zhou Gu, undoubtedly intending to bind Zhou Gu tightly to the position of Prince Consort or a Duke by marriage.

The Emperor paused for a moment, slowly nodded, said nothing, and asked, "How did the Nanchu Queen come to know of Su Rong's existence?"

The old Duke shook his head, "I am not sure, according to Su Rong, someone tried to kill her many years ago. The investigation later revealed that it was orchestrated by the Nanchu Queen."

The Emperor's expression flitted, "I want to see Su Rong."
