Chapter 195: Pick One
The hand placed on the red lacquer carved dragon box seemed to be burned by the fire, which made Jiang Xian's heart ache.
burned the holy way that gave Li Qian death...... Then she can only choose to marry Li Qian.
But she never thought about marrying Li Qian in her life, otherwise why would she agree to the Empress Dowager choosing a son-in-law for her? Why did she agree to exchange Geng stickers with Zhao Xiao...... By the way, there is also Zhao Xiao.
Zhao Xiao chased after him all the way.
It's right outside.
She was afraid of hurting Zhao Xiao's self-esteem just now and didn't even show up, if she chose to marry Li Qian in this case, what kind of face would Zhao Xiao have to stand in the world?
He didn't do anything wrong, but he was dragged into the grievances between her and Li Qian, which was unfair to Zhao Xiao.
She can't do such a tasteless thing!
If she didn't choose either of the two holy decrees, what would she put in the situation of the Empress Dowager, who risked the disapproval to ask for two holy decrees for her, and even let her choose freely?
There are three roads, and none of them can be followed.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Jiang Xian's forehead.
She really hoped that time could stand still forever in this moment, and she would never face such a dilemma.
Cao Xuan saw that Jiang Xian didn't give him a response for a long time, and he was even more sure that Jiang Xian and Li Qian had feelings for each other, and even if Jiang Xian was kidnapped by Li Qian, Jiang Xian didn't really blame Li Qian in his heart.
But to marry Li Qian and call a bandit who was recruited as a father-in-law, for Jiang Xian, I'm afraid it's also a difficult thing to accept for a while, right?
He opened the red lacquer carved dragon box, took out two holy decrees, spread them on the square table in the middle hall, and said, "Jianan, we have a quarter of an hour at most." If you haven't agreed within a quarter of an hour, even if I'm willing to continue to wait for you, those people outside may not be willing to wait for you. â
For the first time in his life, Jiang Xian didn't know what to do?

In the courtyard, Zhao Xiao stood in the middle of the courtyard and looked at the agarwood screen of the eighteen Arhats passing through the hall in a daze.
Jiang Lu and Wang Zan stood not far to the east of Zhao Xiao, looking at Zhao Xiao worriedly.
Li Qian retreated to the west of the courtyard under the ancient tree, stood with Zhong Tianyi, lowered his eyes, and watched the ants under his feet move home.
Jiang Lu and Li Qian each followed each other to the east and west sides of the courtyard.
As the sun sets, the courtyard is silent.
For a long time, there was no movement in the inner courtyard.
Zhong Tianyi was a little breathless, and whispered to Li Qian: "Do you want me to help you take a look?" My light skills rank in the top three in the rivers and lakes, and they won't find out......"
Before he finished speaking, Li Qian had already raised his head and glanced at him contemptuously, and said in a low voice, "You can try it?"
Zhong Tianyi found that Wang Zan glanced at this side quickly.
He sighed secretly in his heart, pretended to touch the beard that did not have zĂ i on his chin, and sighed: "This county lord of Jianan is really a red face, attracting so many beautiful men to bend their waists for her! Do you covet her beauty or do you covet her status......"
Li Qian hit him on the chest as soon as he crutched, lowered his voice and warned him: "You don't talk nonsense there, Jianan is a very interesting girl, you haven't been in contact with her, if you understand her, you will like her very much." It's enough for you to say this in front of me once, I don't want to hear it a second time. Otherwise, I will hear that you will be beaten once and again until you change it......"
Zhong Tianyi covered his chest and muttered, "Heavy color and light friend", seeing that Jiang Lu also looked over, he was afraid of causing trouble to Li Qian, and it would not be good to make trouble again, so he stood up straight, and then couldn't help but ask the Wei subordinate who brought Cao Xuan up: "You said that Lord Cao told you that he was here to preach the decree, you are not such a gullible person, didn't you check whether the holy decree is true or false?"
Wei Wei's eyes widened, and he took an exaggerated breath for a while, and said with a strange expression: "Is the holy decree true or false?"
As long as Zhong Tianyi thought that Li Qian would marry a woman with such a high status, not only Li Qian but also Li Qian's friends would be respectful when they saw him, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he wanted to find something wrong and find something to thorn in order to be happy.
"Of course!" Zhong Tianyi said, "A few days ago, there was a case in Zhejiang, saying that someone pretended to be a Zhejiang Xuezheng to accept bribes everywhere, and promised that as long as it was in the sentence he delineated, he could find the topic of the imperial examination in the coming year, many people were fooled, and finally found out that they were deceived and were afraid of people's jokes and didn't dare to tell others......" He said, looking at Li Qian pointedly.
Wei Ji remembered the scene at that time, and suddenly became a little uncomfortable.
Li Qian had always been careful, and when he saw this, his heart tightened, and he said, "What's the matter? Didn't you see the holy decree?"
"I saw it. Wei said embarrassedly, "But I've never seen it, and I don't know if it's true or not." It was placed in a red carved dragon box, the outside was bright yellow, embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, and the scroll was black lacquered wood, not jade......" he recalled carefully.
Li Qian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That is the holy decree." â
The big stone that pressed on Wei's heart was removed, and he was quite interested, and said to Zhong Tianyi, who was suspected of deceiving him: "Zhong Gongzi, you see, I didn't admit my mistake. There are still two holy decrees in it? one must have been reserved for our uncle in the ancestral hall, and the other was kept in the palace for future reference......"
"What did you say?" Li Qian was stunned and said, "There are two holy decrees?"
"Yes!" Although Wei felt that Li Qian's expression was a little strange, he didn't realize how much ripples his words had caused in Li Qian's heart, "I also asked Cheng Engong at the time, how could there be two scrolls, and Cheng Engong answered me like this!"
Li Qian and Zhong Tianyi exchanged a look, and both of them saw horror in each other's gazes.
How could it be possible for the palace to issue two holy decrees at the same time, this is not a concubine who has made immortal achievements, in addition to rewarding his mother-in-law, he also issued a holy decree to reward his mother-in-law?
But how can this matter be blamed on the Wei family, he has never seen the holy decree!
"Li Qian, I think I'd better take a look!" Zhong Tianyi picked up the hippie smile just now, and said with a dignified face, "I don't think this matter is simple!"
Li Qian looked at Jiang Lu and Wang Zhan, who walked to Zhao Xiao's side and said something to Zhao Xiao, and grabbed Zhong Tianyi's arm: "Wait, you wait." Let me think about this matter, don't rush into the inner courtyard first, there must be something we don't know about this matter!"
His mind raced.
Cao Xuan once said that he was entrusted by the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager loved Jiang Xian the most, and she would not do anything unfavorable to Jiang Xian. Then there is Cao Xuan, he was thinking just now that his relationship with the Jiang family had been exposed, so the Empress Dowager Cao was going to attack him, but Cao Xuan did not immediately announce the decree after arriving, but had to see Jiang Xian. He knew there must be something wrong with this decree.
But he could feel that although Jiang Xian sometimes didn't want to see him, at critical moments, Jiang Xian never left him alone, let alone hurt him.
