Chapter 7 Severe Punishment of the Prince
It was intentional, so what?
"Mother." The prince spoke in the outer hall, with a bit of grievance and dissatisfaction in his voice, "Father said that he would like the granddaughter of Taifu Jiang's family to enter the palace and become the crown princess, but there is no matchmaker, no betrothal, and not even a wedding ceremony. She will be married tomorrow. I'm taking you into the palace, my son... I don't know what I did wrong, my father wants to humiliate me like this..."
"What did you say?" The queen walked out quickly. She couldn't believe what she heard. She looked at her son in shock, "Will you take him into the palace tomorrow?"
Mu Xiuhan nodded: "Yes."
The queen's expression was extremely ugly, "The emperor has gone too far! What are you trying to do? How can a marriage be such a trivial matter if you are the crown prince of a country? Does he still regard you as his biological son? I will ask him now to see what the emperor wants. What to do.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked out angrily.
Yan Li didn't care about what was going on outside and quickly fell asleep again. This time he really fell asleep, repairing his body in his sleep.
Unconsciously, the whole afternoon passed. She didn't know what happened after the queen went to the emperor. She only knew that when she woke up, the lights were on in the palace, and several medical women were guarding the inner hall. She didn't know if they had never left. .
Then there was a sound of footsteps.
"Is Yan Li awake?" The emperor stepped in from outside the palace, "Has the injury improved after using the ointment?"
The medical ladies knelt down to greet her, "Miss Yan woke up once and then fell asleep again."
"Have you drunk the medicine?"
"Not yet. Doctor Bai prepared the medicine and fried it two hours ago. Now she is warming it on the stove. She can drink it when Miss Yan wakes up."
The emperor walked to the bedside, and Yan Li woke up. After opening her eyes, she turned to look at the man standing on the edge of the bed with some effort. At first glance, she only saw the hem of a bright yellow dragon robe with five claws embroidered on it. The golden dragon is extremely noble.
"Girl Li, are you awake?" The emperor sat on the edge of the bed. Seeing her waking up, he quickly ordered, "Bring the medicine over quickly."
The medical ladies are busy.
The emperor touched her face guiltily: "The swelling on her face has gone away. How do you feel now?"
Yan Li looked at him for a moment. Emperor Mu was over fifty years old, with a handsome and dignified appearance, and the majesty of the emperor in his features.
She looked away and stood up from the bed with some difficulty. The emperor quickly supported her: "Slow down."
Yan Li knelt down and sat up, a thin layer of sweat forming on her forehead, which made her pale face look frail.
"The prince has failed you this time." The emperor helped her adjust to a comfortable kneeling position, "You are injured now and cannot sit down yet. Please bear with me for two days."
In fact, the pain had been relieved a lot by the ointment, and it was nothing to Yan Li who had changed the core. After all, she had conquered the world and injuries were commonplace, so she did not take this injury to her heart.
It's just that Yan Li's own weakness cannot be concealed. In the eyes of the emperor, it is inevitable that he will feel distressed and self-blame.
"Your Majesty." Yan Li spoke, her tone so calm that she was almost indifferent, "I don't want to marry the prince. I'm not worthy of him. Please cancel my marriage to him."
When the prince who was still kneeling outside heard this, a look of anger flashed in his eyes. Did this bitch do it on purpose? He brought this up as soon as he woke up, deliberately trying to make his father more angry and not wanting to make him feel better.
"Yan Li, it's not that you are not worthy of the Crown Prince, it's that the Crown Prince is not worthy of you." Emperor Zhaocheng corrected her, his voice as tolerant as a loving father, "When you recover from your injury, can I recognize you as my adopted daughter? Making you the princess is a compensation for you. Who will dare to bully you in the future? "
Yan Li shook his head: "I don't want to be the princess."
The princess doesn’t want to do it?
Emperor Zhaocheng thought for a while: "Then what do you want to do? Princess? How about I make you a princess?"
Yan Li still shook his head.
Emperor Zhaocheng thought she had low self-esteem, and hurriedly comforted him: "Yan Li, I don't know what kind of life you have been living in the Jiang family these years. I always thought they were very good to you. This is my fault. In front of me , don’t have any scruples, I will satisfy you whatever you want.”
After a pause, "Don't feel bad about yourself just because you canceled your engagement with the prince. This is not your fault."
"Your Majesty." The queen stepped into the inner hall, put away the evil look in her eyes, and smiled with a smile on her face, "Since Yan Li is awake, can you please let the prince get up? He has been kneeling for such a long time, I really feel sorry for him."
Yan Li closed her eyes and remained silent, her attitude indifferent.
"Girl Li, you are indeed the one who has been wronged this time. How about I ask the prince to apologize to you?" The queen showed a loving expression, "Look, this has happened. The prince is the crown prince of a country after all. You Can you forgive him once?"
The medical woman walked in with medicine in her hands, bowed her knees and saluted: "Your Majesty, it's time for Miss Yan to drink medicine."
Emperor Zhaocheng stood up and made way for him, and motioned for the queen to step aside as well. The medical girl came forward and carefully fed Yan Li the medicine. Yan Li drank the medicine quietly, taking each sip gracefully, without feeling the bitterness of the medicine at all. of.
The queen stood aside anxiously and wanted to speak several times, but seeing Yan Li drinking the medicine wholeheartedly, she couldn't help but swallow her words back.
After finally finishing a bowl of medicine, Yan Li sweated again. The Queen wiped her sweat considerately: "You are tired, do you want to sleep for a while?"
The doctor woman took a candied fruit and asked her to put it in her mouth: "This can eliminate the bitter taste."
Yan Li opened her mouth and held it in silence for a moment. She felt uncomfortable because of the sweat on her body and wanted to take a bath. However, she knew that this body could not touch water for the time being, so she had to endure the discomfort and slowly lie on the bed. She ignored the queen from beginning to end.
The queen saw her resistance and cursed her in her heart, "Little bitch, dare you put on airs in front of her?"
If it wasn't for the purpose of eliminating the emperor's anger as soon as possible, would she, the mother of a country, have to apologize to a bitch here?
She didn't know what was good for her.
Yan Li didn't bother to pay attention to her inner curse. The original owner might be a good person, but the good little girl had been killed by them. Since she occupied her body, it was only natural to get a way for her.
All selfish and shameless people should pay the price for their cruel behavior.
"Your Majesty." Seeing Yan Li remained silent, the Queen turned to look at Emperor Zhaocheng, "The prince has realized his mistake and asked for your forgiveness. He will never make the same mistake again. Your Majesty-"
"Queen, you don't have to meddle in the prince's affairs." Emperor Zhaocheng frowned, his expression unhappy, "The prince made a mistake, let him admit it himself, he is already an adult, and does not need your mother's protection all the time."
"But-"
Emperor Zhaocheng's eyes were like knives: "Will you also intervene in all family and national affairs when he ascends the throne?"
The Queen knelt down hurriedly: "I dare not! I dare not!"
"You go back to Fengyi Palace to prepare. Tomorrow morning I will send someone to pick up Miss Jiang to the palace." Emperor Zhaocheng said calmly, "As the prince's biological mother, you should preside over their marriage. Just simply decorate the East Palace tonight, no need to make a fuss."m.
The Queen was furious. The Emperor said that there was no need to make a fuss for the prince's wedding? Is the prince his son, or is Yan Li her daughter?
He just protects this little bitch like this?
