Volume 1 Chapter 19 Refusing to Listen to Persuasion
The sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and for a time the wind was fierce, blowing the curtain in the Cloud Pavilion to float up and down, and the dazzling clanging of the curtain kept ringing. The buildings in the capital were shrouded in gray due to the dust blown by strong winds, and the street vendors hurriedly packed up and went home, for fear of getting wet.
Hua Luo wanted to step forward and close the window, but was stopped by Yin Yuxi, she had to retreat to the side, thinking that raindrops would fall in a while, but she didn't expect that the wind would blow for two quarters of an hour, and there would be no raindrops. Seeing this, Hua Luo was about to go outside to get some water, and when she walked to the steps, she saw Juexiao walking in with Tan Mufeng, and she was also busy bending her knees.
Jue Xiao walked into the room with Tan Mufeng, "County Lord, Tan Gongzi is here." ”
Yin Yuxi turned her head slowly, and said lazily, "Pour tea for Tan Gongzi." He was still lying on the beauty couch, "Tan Gongzi is afraid that he came for yesterday's incident, I have been waiting all morning, and you are finally here." ”
Tan Mufeng couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Yu Xi said and laughed. Originally, I was going to come after the morning court, and I didn't want to go back to the house for some time. I hope that the jade breath is not strange. ”
Seemingly knowing what Yin Yuxi was going to say, he took the lead and continued, "Yesterday's incident, in fact, the Tan Mansion should be blamed, the Tan Mansion did not protect the county lord and the original son, but let you be plotted and wronged, today I came to apologize to the county lord, and I hope the county lord will not be angry anymore." ”
Hearing this, Yin Yuxi was a little surprised, if the mansion next to him encountered this kind of thing, I am afraid that he would immediately withdraw from the marriage, this Tan Mansion and Tan Mufeng actually took the initiative to come over and take the responsibility, I have to say that this Tan Mansion Master Tan is really forbearant enough.
Of course, after listening to Tan Mufeng's words, she felt a little better, "I didn't expect that the people in your Tan Mansion are so reasonable, since this is the case, then I don't have to worry about anything." The tone changed slightly, "It's just that this matter is a stalk for me after all, so I have to find out what's going on, right?" ”
"Don't worry, the county lord, I have ordered the guards around me to investigate this matter and return the county lord to a clean slate." After Tan Mufeng finished speaking, he took a sip of the teacup gently, and said with a hesitant expression, "Actually, I still have something I want to ask the county lord for help today." ”
"Oh? Tan Gongzi, please speak. ”
Tan Mufeng looked at Yin Yuxi's face softened slightly, and then said slowly, "Presumably, the county lord also heard that Shen Ruoting asked the emperor to withdraw his decree because of yesterday's incident, isn't this emperor's holy decree child's play." A few days ago, Shen Gongzi was able to agree to this marriage, which shows that he also agrees very much in his heart, but now because of this matter, he insists on withdrawing from the marriage. I also asked the county lord to persuade Shen Gongzi well, don't insist on retiring from the marriage. ”
For a long time, Yin Yuxi didn't answer, but pursed her lips lightly, and her eyes fell elsewhere.
Suddenly, it was pouring rain outside, and a smell of earth rushed in, and Yin Yuxi's eyes moved to the window, watching the raindrops the size of beans keep falling, and her heart was slightly anxious and worried. At this time, she smiled, and that smile was a little self-deprecating, "Does Tan Gongzi think that I don't think I have been in the boudoir for a long time and don't understand the ways of your officialdom." ”
Hearing this, Tan Mufeng's star-like eyes flashed, "Yuxi, I didn't mean that......"
Without waiting for him to explain, Yin Yuxi said with a smile, "If you want to say that your Tan Mansion doesn't care about my reputation and is willing to continue to fulfill the marriage contract with me, I still believe this." But Shen Ruoting's matter, what you said is a little too far-fetched. If it weren't for the power struggle, how could you care about Shen Ruoting's divorce or not. She leaned forward,
"Or rather, you are testing me, wanting to see how much I like Shen Ruoting, if it is the latter, I can give you the answer now."
After she finished speaking, she got up and called Hua Luo, "Prepare the carriage, I want to enter the palace!" ”
Tan Mufeng looked at Yin Yuxi's face suddenly changed, she didn't know what to feel in her heart, she stood up and was about to stop Yin Yuxi, but unfortunately she had already ignored the heavy rain and walked out of the courtyard, thinking about it, how could Yin Yuxi let Shen Ruoting kneel in the Qianqing Palace under this heavy rain.
Shen Ruoting is not a martial arts practitioner, his body is weak, and even one winter was too cold, he always had a cold. Yin Yuxi watched as the big raindrops fell to the ground, and it hurt as if it had hit her heart.
The carriage was moving very fast, and it did not slow down a minute when it was about to reach the palace gate, and the guards at the palace gate saw that it was the carriage of the county lord's mansion and opened the door directly.
The carriage stopped under the stone steps of the Qianqing Palace in the wind and rain, Yin Yuxi didn't even care about the umbrella, and walked up the stone steps quickly with her skirt, and even almost slipped down a few times, and finally went up the stone steps, she glanced at Shen Ruoting, who was kneeling in the rain, and walked directly to the gate of the Qianqing Palace, regardless of the guards, and broke in.
In the dimly lit hall, the emperor sat on a high seat in a bright yellow dragon robe and reviewed the folds, and he didn't look up when he heard someone coming in.
"Your Majesty, please ask the Emperor to agree to Shen Ruoting's will." Yin Yuxi shook the wet skirt and knelt on her knees, "The emperor also knows that Shen Ruoting's health is not good, and he can't stand the heavy rain......"
"Yuxi, do you know that your relationship with Shen Ruoting has been confirmed when you come today! Do you know that I worked so hard to set up a family affair for you a while ago, and now it is all ruined in your hands! Do you know that disobeying the Holy Decree is a sin of death! The tone of each sentence was higher than that of a sentence, and in the end, the emperor even stood up, not angry but mighty.
Yin Yuxi had never seen Cheng Jiaxing like this, and her shoulders couldn't help shaking, but she still fell to the ground, her voice was neither humble nor arrogant,
"Yuxi knows. Yuxi can not see Shen Ruoting, but Yuxi can't help liking him, let alone watching Shen Ruoting kneel outside the palace and suffer from the wind and rain, presumably the emperor also has a beloved, if he sees her like Shen Ruoting at this time, the emperor will definitely be desperate to save her. Right? ”
Faced with Yin Yuxi's questioning, the emperor had nothing to say, he could only walk down the high platform with his hands behind his back and look down at Yin Yuxi, "Auntie, I will persuade you one last time, go back to the house." Shen Ruoting's affairs are not something you can manage, nor should you take care of. With that, he prepared to skim the silver jade breath and walk out of the main hall.
Yin Yuxi grabbed the emperor's sleeve, and his face was sad, "Your Majesty, Yuxi has never begged you for anything, today is the first and last time to ask you, please agree, how about it?" ”
The emperor's face remained unchanged, and he didn't even look at Yinyuxi, for fear that a glance would change his decision, so his voice was firm, "It's impossible for me to withdraw from this marriage." Because my holy decree cannot be questioned, and because if I withdraw from the marriage and I don't know how to face the original lord, don't forget that I am now in a worrying situation in the court. The last sentence turned into endless helplessness.
Yin Yuxi's bright eyes gradually focused on the hollow, and she didn't know anything.
"Auntie, you have always been arrogant and self-conscious, how could you make such a sacrifice for an unworthy person. I remember that you promised me that you would never have any more thoughts about Shen Ruoting, and that you would not have anything to do with him again. Are you still so obsessed? The emperor's sword eyebrows faded from majesty, and only persuasion remained at this time.
Yin Yuxi bit her lip stubbornly, "I overestimated myself when I said that in the past. That day, when I saw Yuan Chupei standing beside Shen Ruoting, I realized how much I loved him, and I couldn't see other women standing next to him at all. "In the light of the eyes is like a fire, like a void and like an endless abyss,
"I beg the emperor to withdraw from the marriage."
Seeing that Yin Yuxi was so resolute, he was angry again, "Do you know where you put Tan Fu's face when you do this!?" How will Tan Fu deal with you, and how will it deal with me, Yinyuxi, you only care about your feelings, have you ever thought that the road ahead is full of thorns! How many people will have to sacrifice your impulse in exchange for peace! The emperor withdrew his sleeves.
"I beg the emperor to withdraw from the marriage!" Yin Yuxi kowtowed again.
Seeing this, the emperor had no choice but to be ruthless, "Since you want to kneel, then kneel outside with Shen Ruoting." If you could kneel for three days and three nights, maybe I would say yes. With that, he threw himself away.
Yin Yuxi held up her weak body, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, stood up elegantly, tidied up her dress and prepared to walk out, but at this time, the red shadow flashed, and Yin Yuxi only felt that her waist had slammed into a warm embrace.
"Yin Yuxi, if you don't want Shen Ruoting to die, just stand up for me!"
Yin Yuxi frowned tightly and looked at Luan Yi, "What do you mean?" ”
"The emperor has already told you so much, why are you still so stubborn?!" Luan Yi slowly pursed the corners of his lips, revealing a chill invisibly, this is something that Yin Yuxi has never seen before,
"Well, since you don't listen to persuasion, then don't blame me."
Luan Yi carried Yin Yuxi up, and after Yinyuxi exclaimed, he slammed it towards Luan Yi's back, "You let me down!" Put me down...... He was still kneeling in the rain, you let me down......" No matter how she beat him, Luan Yi hugged him and walked straight into the side hall.
Luan Yi walked to the side of the bed and put down the struggling and screaming Yin Yuxi, without waiting for Yin Yuxi to react, he stepped forward and ripped off the ribbon around Yin Yuxi's waist and tied her hand to the bed rail, this action was neat and fast, and Yin Yuxi did not react at all.
"Luan Yi, what are you doing here?!" Yin Yuxi's eyes were red, and the original elegant and noble temperament was only embarrassed.
Luan Yi just pulled his lips and smiled, and walked out.
The rain kept falling, and there was no intention of stopping.
Shen Ruoting knelt for two hours and couldn't support his body, a little staggering, and after a while, he closed his eyes and fell down, falling to the ground, splashing.
"Yan guard, let Shen Ruoting be sent back to the county lord's mansion, and then bring the imperial doctor to take a look at him." The stone hanging in the emperor's heart finally fell.
In the side hall, Luan Yi stepped forward to untie Yin Yuxi's wrist, and when he saw the shallow mark on her wrist, a trace of distress quickly flashed in his eyes, and seeing that Yin Yuxi was about to scold him, he hurriedly said, "Shen Ruoting fell into the rain by himself, why don't you hurry back to the house and take a look." ”
