Chapter 364

On the other side, Chu Nanchen, who had been in a state of uneasiness since being granted a marriage by Emperor Yonghe, hesitated for a few days and still chose to enter the palace to see Emperor Yonghe. The latter had obviously anticipated his arrival and was sitting in the palace early in the morning. Waiting in the study.

Chu Nanchen walked into the imperial study room with a puzzled look on his face, and saw Emperor Yonghe sitting at the table, copying and painting. The person painted on the portrait was his mother, Queen Yuan.

Chu Nanchen saluted Emperor Yonghe, who just responded lightly and said nothing more. He didn't raise his eyes to look at him until he finished the last stroke, "Tell me, why did you come here today?"

"Back to my father, I came here today to ask my father to withdraw his decree to confer the second young lady of the Jiang family as the crown princess."

Emperor Yonghe looked as usual, without any surprise, "Why?"

The tone of voice was faint, making it difficult to hear the emotion or anger.

"Because Erchen has no interest in the second young lady of the Jiang family, and because the daughter of Taifu Gu's family is more suitable to be his concubine than she is. In addition, Erchen also heard that the fate of the second young lady of the Jiang family is unknown. She was once jailed for bumping into her younger brother. Jiang Guogong sent her to Ningcheng for three years, and her etiquette and rules were much worse than those of ordinary ladies from official families, so I thought that this girl was not suitable to marry into the East Palace. "

"So you are saying that I have bad taste, right?" There was obviously no change in Emperor Yonghe's voice, but Chu Nanchen could hear some anger in it, and he quickly knelt down to apologize: "Father, Emperor "That's not what I mean. The princess my father chose for me is naturally excellent. It's just that I want to marry him, so I want to follow my own wishes."

Even though he knew that Emperor Yonghe was displeased, Chu Nanchen still insisted on continuing because he knew that this was his only chance and the last chance for Lu Tingyu and Jiang Lingyi.

Emperor Yonghe looked at his son, who had high hopes for him, and felt that his innocence was almost stupid, so Emperor Yonghe chose to personally tear into pieces his pure and kind shell, "Get up."

Hearing this, Chu Nanchen felt a little happy, thinking that things had turned around, but he didn't expect that Emperor Yonghe's next words asked him to make a choice, "As the emperor, once the imperial edict is issued, there is no reason to take it back. However, if you really don't like the second young lady of the Jiang family, I can make another secret decree and let her commit suicide."

If a person dies, there will naturally be no need to marry into the Prince's Mansion.

Seeing the serious look on Emperor Yonghe's face, Chu Nanchen subconsciously retorted: "Father, that's a human life!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Chu Nanchen saw Emperor Yonghe's expression change, and immediately realized that he had been too impulsive. But before Chu Nanchen could make up for it, he heard Emperor Yonghe's cold voice coming from above, " Human life? Nothing in the world can surpass the majesty of the emperor."

Chu Nanchen only felt that Emperor Yonghe today was particularly strange, but he knew in his heart that this was the true appearance of Emperor Yonghe, supreme and supreme, and no one could disobey him.

"I have given you a choice. Whether to marry or not is entirely up to you." After saying that, Emperor Yonghe waved his hand directly to Chu Nanchen, indicating that he could leave.

Chu Nanchen was walking alone on the long palace road. At this time, he finally understood what Empress Yuan meant when she said before that Emperor Yonghe would personally teach him about trusted brothers and sisters.

Emperor Yonghe was telling him with bloody facts that the emperor had no arms and legs, and that the emperor's majesty dominated the world.

Although that moment has not yet arrived, Chu Nanchen has already foreseen the day when he and Lu Tingyu will turn against each other. They will become enemies, strangers, and even... swords against each other.

The prosperity in front of him was faintly covered by the blood mist. Chu Nanchen couldn't help but close his eyes, trying to avoid everything in front of him, but Lu Tingyu's extremely disappointed eyes appeared in his mind.

There is no way back.

"Ayu, I'm sorry..."

…

At the same time, Duke Jiang’s Mansion.

Jiang Lingyi had just returned from Fengyue Teahouse with Yun Lan when she saw Butler Yang guarding the entrance, "Second Miss, the Duke of the State is waiting for you in the main hall."

Jiang Lingyi, who was in a daze, was slightly surprised, but still followed Butler Yang to the main hall.

In the main hall, Luo Shi and Jiang Huan were both there, just like the time they were in the study before.

Jiang Lingyi gave a perfunctory salute to several people. Just as he was about to straighten up, he heard the angry voice of Duke Jiang from above, "Jiang Lingyi! What on earth do you want to do? Do you have to drag the entire Jiang family down before you can give up!"

Jiang Lingyi stood up unhurriedly, looked up in confusion, and saw Jiang Guogong holding a white porcelain vase in his hand, which looked a little familiar...

Oh, Jiang Lingyi remembered. This was the medicine she asked Yun Lan to buy on the day she received the imperial edict of marriage. After taking it, rashes would appear all over the body and the cause could not be found. It was specially prepared for the wedding day.

If his appearance is damaged, he will not be able to enter the East Palace. However, it is of no use now.

However, the focus right now is obviously not this.

"Did father send someone to search my room?" Jiang Lingyi remembered clearly that she placed the porcelain vase at the bottom of the cabinet, and it was impossible to find it without rummaging carefully.

Jiang Guogong saw Jiang Lingyi's questioning tone even though he was clearly at fault, and instantly became furious, "If I hadn't searched your house, I'm afraid you would have succeeded, right? Jiang Lingyi, what on earth does that Lu Tingyu have?" Well, it’s worth all your efforts!”

Duke Jiang Guo couldn't understand why Jiang Lingyi had to take a trip into the muddy waters as the Jing'an Palace and the royal family had been in tit-for-tat for a long time. Was it because the Jiang family didn't die quickly enough?

Hearing the words 'Lu Tingyu', most of the emotion on Jiang Lingyi's face instantly dissipated, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she spoke in a low voice: "Father, don't worry, I will never contact Lu Tingyu again after today."

"Are you serious?" Knowing that Jiang Lingyi was no longer prepared to quarrel with Lu Tingyu, Jiang Guogong was immediately overjoyed, and the anger he felt just now because he found out that Jiang Lingyi planned to take medicine to escape from the marriage was instantly dissipated.

"Yes, seriously." Jiang Lingyi's voice was not high, but it reached Jiang Guogong's ears clearly.

Seeing Jiang Guogong's increasingly satisfied expression, Jiang Lingyi twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, secretly laughing at Jiang Guogong's happiness that it was too early.

She will marry into the Prince's Mansion as Jiang Guogong wishes, but not for the sake of the Jiang family, but because she wants to hold all the so-called power in her hands step by step until the day no one can control her anymore.

Princess Jing'an was afraid of the royal family and did not want Lu Tingyu to have too much interaction with her. Lu Tingyu had to leave her for the sake of the family. Duke Jiang Guo wanted power regardless of her wishes. Jiang Huan gave up his conscience and family affection in order to control the Jiang family, so Jiang Lingyi I really want to see what it's like to control other people's lives.

After receiving Jiang Lingyi's affirmative reply, Jiang Guogong stood up excitedly, walked to Jiang Lingyi and patted her shoulder lovingly, "Yi'er, daddy knows that you are someone who takes the overall situation into consideration, and you will never risk your life for a man. The whole family abandoned it.

From today on, you are daddy's most precious daughter. You can rest well in the mansion, and daddy will let you marry into the prince's mansion in a glorious manner. "

It was clearly a harmonious scene of a loving father and a filial daughter, but Jiang Lingyi couldn't help but curl her lips in mockery, and then broke the scene without hesitation.

"Father, before marrying into the prince's palace, I have one more request."

Hearing this, Jiang Guogong's expression condensed, and after being silent for a while, he asked, "Say."

"I want Aunt Su to apologize in front of my sister's tombstone after crashing into her. I also want you to send Jiang Hang to Ningcheng and not be allowed to take her back to Shengjing in this life."
