"Mother, you really misunderstood Shaochen, he won't marry the princess." Ling Muer explained to Shangguan Shaochen.
"The seventh prince already said when he imprisoned us that the son-in-law chosen by the princess is the second prince. This is also an imperial decree from the emperor. Mu'er, when did you learn to lie to your mother?" Yang was very disappointed by this.
"That's right, this is indeed the emperor's imperial decree. Their marriage will be at the end of next month, but what Mu'er wants to say is that Shao Chen will not marry anyone else."
As soon as Ling Mu'er finished speaking, she felt a gust of wind blowing by. Shangguan Shaochen tapped his toes and appeared in the middle of the yard gracefully, "That's right, I, Shangguan Shaochen, will not marry any other woman in this life except Mu'er." , not to mention the main concubine, not even the side concubine or the house girl."
He was firm and domineering.
Yang Shi was stunned by Shangguan Shaochen who appeared suddenly, firstly he didn't expect him to break into the yard, secondly he was shocked by his words.
Not to mention the princes, but ordinary people, as long as they have money, as long as they can afford it, who doesn't have three wives and four concubines in the backyard, and as the second prince, he dares to make such a guarantee? Wouldn't it be to fool them?
"Boy Chen, when I was in Lingjia Village, my aunt treated you like her own child. Later, I found out that you and Mu'er were in love with each other, so I couldn't tell you how happy I was. But you have kept it secret many times, and you have lost your memory. It has caused great harm to our Mu'er, a mother really cannot just sit and watch my daughter suffer."
Yang has never been a person who makes things difficult for others, she felt that she should make things clear to Shangguan Shaochen today.
"We know that we are very different from you, and we are not in the right family, so we don't ask to be with you. Mu'er is the sweetheart of our Ling family. Her future husband must be someone who treats her well wholeheartedly, otherwise we don't care. I will not agree to any status." Yang sighed, "But the matter between you and Princess Heqin was ordered by the emperor, and disobedience to the imperial order is a death penalty. Didn't you harm my Mu'er?"
Yang Shi felt sad even thinking about it, how could her Mu'er have such a miserable life? There are so many twists and turns in life-long events.
"If Auntie still believes in me, please give me another chance. I have already thought of a solution to the matter with the princess. And, after this matter is over, I will ask my father for an order and formally report to Mu as the second prince. Propose marriage."
Shangguan Shaochen spoke very sincerely. Although his face still had the monstrous appearance, his attitude was pious and honest, as if he had really returned to the domineering appearance he had when he protected Mu'er behind his back in Lingjia Village.
When she first learned that Mu'er was with him, Yang only thought that this boy Chen was honest and honest, knew how to love others, and would protect Mu'er, so he didn't have any objection. If it weren't for so many things that happened during this time Of course, she will not object, but even if she has never read the book, she knows that the emperor's imperial decree is not easily changed.
"Auntie is not a messy person. If you really treat my family Mu'er well, of course I won't stop you, but there is a married princess between the two of you. I'd better wait until you settle the married princess..."
"Mother!" Ling Mu'er interrupted Yang's unfinished sentence at the right time, "The marriage between Shao Chen and I really should be discussed later, because the most important thing now is to save Brother Zhu and Brother Zhu. In this way, Shao Chen and I will be together right now." Find a way, and you must come back before dark."
Before Yang Shi could react, Ling Muer had already dragged Shangguan Shaochen out of the Ling Mansion in a hurry.
After running for a full two blocks, Ling Mu'er turned her head twice in three steps, and was relieved to make sure that her mother hadn't caught up, but she heard laughter from above her head.
"What are you laughing at?" She was dissatisfied.
Shangguan Shaochen stared dotingly at the little girl in front of him, seeing her guilty conscience, he stretched out his generous palm and rubbed her hair, "Silly girl, even if you didn't say it just now, I was sure Convince my aunt, but you ran out with me. What, you want to elope with me?"
"Elope?" Ling Mu'er was startled by these two words, but soon she saw the teasing from the corner of Shangguan Shaochen's mouth, and she put an elbow on his chest. "You think beautifully!"
After a few steps, Shangguan Shaochen caught up with the little girl who was walking ahead swaggeringly, and Shangguan Shaochen hooked her waist with one hand, as if he wanted to lift her up with one hand. He put his red lips next to her ear, and whispered: "You are already my daughter." If you are a person, I will be responsible for you to the end, who is beautiful if I am not beautiful?"
That magnetic voice was lingering in her ears, full of inexplicable bewitchment, and Ling Muer couldn't help but think of the madness of last night. She was about to land her shy little fist on his chest, but she saw that Shangguan Shaochen had already let her go. down, and his face suddenly changed.
Following his gaze, I saw Nangong Yizhi, whom I hadn't seen for a few days, walking towards him. His face was serious and furious, as if something important had happened.
"Cousin, it's good news but it's also bad news." Nangong Yizhi glanced at Ling Muer from the corner of his eye, hesitating whether to say it or not.
"In front of your sister-in-law, there is nothing to hide, but it's okay to say it." Shangguan Shaochen said.
"A quarter of an hour ago, the emperor decreed to cancel your engagement with Princess Heqin." Nangong Yizhi smiled, but the smile at the corner of his mouth froze quickly, "But... Mo Junyao was married to Su Ce."
"What?" It was not Shangguan Shaochen who was surprised first, but Ling Muer.
She couldn't accept this fact at all, "How did things suddenly become like this? But what did Su Ce do?"
Obviously they met each other during the day yesterday, and she had a drink at Prince Xian's Mansion, and Su Ce even put on a show to greet her, and he has never heard of him being interested in Mo Junyao.
Besides, according to Su Ce's personality, how could he fall in love with a girl like Mo Junyao, could it be...
Thinking of how she accused Su Ce of a lot of things in Prince Xian's Mansion yesterday, Ling Muer suddenly had a bad thought in her heart, and she immediately looked at Shangguan Shaochen, "I'm going to Prince Xian's Mansion, I want to go immediately See Su Ce."
"I'm afraid it's too late." It was Nangong Yizhi who answered him.
He looked at Ling Mu'er, "I heard that you attacked your cousin in the palace yesterday, the emperor was furious when he heard the news, and has already sent the imperial guards to arrest you on the way."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a large number of rioting footsteps came from a distance. The three of them looked along the source of the sound, and saw a small group of imperial guards running towards them at high speed.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen imperial guards were already in sight, surrounding Ling Mu'er.
The leader even took out an imperial decree, "The emperor has decreed that the criminal Ling Mu'er murdered His Royal Highness the Second Prince in the palace, and he deserves to be punished for his crime. Order us to take him down immediately and take him to the prison."
After speaking, the leader gestured, "Come here, take Ling Mu'er down."
"Wait."
Shangguan Shaochen's hearty voice calmly protected Ling Muer behind him.
Looking at the Imperial Guards, the leader is his former capable subordinate, "Before I left the Imperial Guards, I promoted you to the Imperial Father to be the commander of the Imperial Guards, because I valued your calmness in doing things. Zhang Ziheng, you really have no Let me down."
Hearing this, Zhang Ziheng immediately knelt on the ground, "This subordinate dare not!"
Looking at Shangguan Shaochen's angry face again, although his expression was different, his voice was exactly the same, how could Zhang Ziheng not be afraid, "Master, but this is the emperor's order, and his subordinates have to obey."
"The person next to me is my future imperial concubine. How could they murder me? It's because my father misunderstood me. I will go into the palace and explain to my father. You can go back."
Shangguan Shaochen waved his hand and ordered Zhang Ziheng to take everyone away.
Zhang Ziheng was his most effective deputy when he was the commander of the imperial guards. After he returned to the status of the second prince, he immediately asked the emperor to promote him to succeed him because he valued his ability.
He was kind to Zhang Ziheng, how could Zhang Ziheng be ungrateful?
After hesitating for a few seconds, he ordered everyone to leave quickly, "Everyone listen to the order and retreat."
Shangguan Shaochen immediately looked back at Ling Muer, seeing her anxious face, it was the first time that he was not jealous because of a man.
"I had already asked Nangong Yizhi to investigate Mo Junyao's past affairs in order to resolve our marriage contract, but Su Ce took the initiative, but if I don't go to the palace immediately to explain to my father, he will inevitably People will come to arrest you again. Why don't we split up, I will go to the palace to face the saint, and you and Nangong Yizhi will go to Xianwang's mansion."
Ling Muer knew that he asked Nangong Yizhi not to monitor her, but to protect her.
After all, she had just offended the Seventh Prince, and now the Emperor Lao Tzu came to arrest her. She was walking on the pass of the capital alone, and she might be caught by someone who came out suddenly.
"Okay." Ling Muer followed Nangong Yizhi and left from Shangguan Shaochen in the opposite direction.
Xianwangfu.
This is simply the place she has been in and out of the most these days.
When Ling Mu'er and Nangong Yizhi appeared at the gate of the mansion, Zitong had already been waiting for a long time, "Miss Ling is here, my master told me, if you come, invite me directly."
"Where is the other person?" Ling Muer's voice was cold, with a bit of anger, as if she was here to collect debts.
"Young Master is waiting for you in the study." Zi Tong said.
Ling Mu'er brought Nangong Yizhi to the study by car, even though it was a cold winter day, the door of the study was open, apparently waiting for her to enter.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Su Ce sitting at the desk. Before he could change his official clothes, he seemed even more noble and unparalleled.
Ling Muer was stunned for a moment, not because of his overly charming appearance, but because he felt that today he was very different from usual.
In the past, he was always dressed in white and elegant, like a banished fairy descending to earth.
But today, he is dressed in brocade clothes, wishing to show how noble he is from his clothes, as if telling the world that he is a virtuous king, an incomparably noble virtuous king, a cold-faced virtuous king who cannot be approached.
"I knew you would come, but I didn't expect to bring guests." Su Ce raised his eyes and smiled at her, but moved away with just a glance, "Come here, let's have some tea."
With such a strange attitude, he is completely different from the man who was singing about wine yesterday.
What's more, how could she be in the mood to drink tea here.
"What have you done?" Ling Muer slammed her fists hard on his desk, her eyes trying to see through him, "What does the matter of Shangguan Shaochen and Princess Heqin have to do with you, and what are you capable of?" What about Su Ce?"
