Chapter Twenty-Eight: Obstruction of Marriage
In the next few days, Ji Jinglian was full of joy, but only Nangong Muxue was displeased.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess, originally married to the second prince, but now she suddenly reversed herself, this matter cannot be done, not to mention, the seventh prince has no status in the Dragon Feather Country, and a good-for-nothing person is not worthy of the princess." Nangong Muxue said sharply.
Ji Jinglian sat in the study, put down the book, and said: "Auntie, I didn't think about this matter before, but now I have a love affair with Xuantianji, this time, I want to follow my heart to choose Ruyu Langjun, aunt, I know that you love Lian'er the most, Lian'er has never violated your wishes, but this time, please follow Lian'er's wishes." ”
Nangong Muxue has watched Ji Jinghuan grow up since she was a child, how could she not know her thoughts? Ji Jinghuan didn't want to be the emperor, so the marriage was a relief for her, but King Mingjiang's will made her shoulder the heavy responsibility of recovering the secret book of witchcraft.
Nangong Muxue sighed and said, "That's it, let's go to the palace in person!" ”
After hearing this, Ji Jinghuan happily rushed over and hugged Nangong Muxue, "Auntie, Juan'er knows that my aunt treats me best, Juan'er promises you, you won't mess around anymore in the next few days, and obediently handle government affairs in the study." ”
Nangong Muxue said with a smile: "It seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess has really grown up." ”
——
As soon as Nangong Muxue entered the palace, a palace maid came to invite her to the queen's palace, and Nangong Muxue knew that she should come, and sooner or later she would come.
The palace of Longyu Kingdom is very large, Nangong Muxue followed the palace maid for a long time before walking to the queen's bedroom, looking at the furnishings in the palace, the emperor of Longyu Kingdom treated her well.
When Nangong Muxue walked to the hall, Feng Wu Qingfeng was sitting in the bead curtain, and with a wave of her hand, she retreated from the palace maids on the left and right, and also helped them close the door.
Feng Wu Qingfeng said: "Lord Nangong, you and I must have not seen each other for ten years. ”
Nangong Muxue didn't want to think of all the past, but Fengwu Qingfeng forced her to recall the painful past.
Nangong Muxue said sharply: "The person who betrayed Ming Jiang is not seen." ”
Back then, if it weren't for Feng Wu Qingfeng's love for Long Xuanji and helping him deal with Ming Jiang, the Feng Wu family would not have sent a beauty to confuse King Ming Jiang and separate the feelings of the emperor and queen, the queen would not have committed suicide in sadness, let alone the later King Ming Jiang would have become a demon and slaughter the royal family, if it weren't for the seven-year-old Ji Jinglian who took on the heavy responsibility, Ming Jiang would have died long ago.
Back then, the first thing Ji Jinglian did when she took power was to order the destruction of the Fengwu family, but unfortunately, she was not ruthless enough after all, leaving Fengwu Qingfeng with her life.
Feng Wu Qingfeng only had remorse left in his eyes at this moment, and said: "This palace knows that Lord Nangong and the princess are unwilling to forgive this palace, and now this palace has also suffered retribution, this palace thinks that it has obtained the emperor's sincerity, it turns out to be just a use of power, this palace thinks that after sacrificing so much, the emperor will give this palace what it wants, but over the years, for the so-called throne, this palace has lost the most beloved prince." ”
Nangong Muxue sighed and said: "Don't mention the past, queen, you abandoned your daughter, and your beloved son also died young, everything is retribution, it is all a cycle of cause and effect." ”
Feng Wu Qingfeng said with a wry smile: "Yes, the Han'er of this palace is the greatest retribution for this palace, and now this palace only wants to make up for the mistakes of the year." ”
Nangong Muxue asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
Feng Wu Qingfeng said: "Prevent Her Royal Highness the Princess from marrying the Seventh Prince."
Nangong Muxue said: "To this day, you still have no repentance, are you worried that if the princess marries the seventh prince, she will join forces with King Leng and threaten the status of the second prince." ”
Feng Wu Qingfeng said: "Sure enough, as expected by this palace, the princess wants to divorce Ling Er, even so, the princess can't marry the seventh prince Xuantianji." ”
Nangong Muxue said coldly: "Why can't you?" ”
Feng Wu Qingfeng said: "Because Xuantianji is unfathomable, Lord Nangong thinks why this palace should hire a killer to hunt down an unfavored prince?" Even King Leng has never made the palace afraid, Lord Nangong, please think about it, the palace has wanted to kill Xuantianji for so many years, but it hasn't succeeded once, is it really because of King Leng's protection of him? Although Bengong can't find out what the hell is going on behind Xuantianji, Bengong can be sure that Xuantianji is far more terrifying than it seems. ”
Nangong Muxue had doubts, but still said in disbelief: "The queen wants to kill the Seventh Prince because you killed the biological mother of the Seventh Prince back then, and you are worried that the Seventh Prince will retaliate against you. ”
When Nangong Muxue was about to leave, Feng Wu Qingfeng suddenly said, "The person who killed Concubine Luo with her own hands back then was Xuantianji, her biological son, and now the Seventh Prince. ”
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Muxue stopped and looked at her incredulously, "How is it possible?" ”
Feng Wu Qingfeng said: "This matter is what the palace saw with his own eyes, the palace really wanted to kill Concubine Luo, but when the palace arrived, he saw Xuantianji kill Concubine Luo with his own hands, not only that, but all the palace maids and eunuchs present were killed by Xuantianji, Xuantianji blamed this matter to the palace to avoid punishment, if Lord Nangong does not believe it, you can personally verify it, but if what the palace said is true, then the princess must not marry Xuantianji." ”
Feng Wu Qingfeng's words were like a mountain pressing on Nangong Muxue's heart, after Nangong Muxue left the queen's palace, she did not go to see the emperor, but went to see Xuantianji.
Xuantianji was recuperating from his injuries at his residence, and suddenly heard that Nangong Muxue was going to see him, probably because it was for the matter between him and Ji Jinglian, but since they were already in love, some things should be faced by him.
"Heavenly Machine, see Lord Nangong." Xuantianji walked to the hall and saluted to Nangong Muxue.
Nangong Muxue's face was expressionless, giving him a sense of oppression and unease.
Nangong Muxue said bluntly: "The Seven Princes don't have to be polite, the ministers came to have some doubts and wanted the Seven Princes to help the ministers answer." ”
Xuan Tianji said: "Lord Nangong, please say, Tianji must know everything." ”
Nangong Muxue said sharply: "The minister heard that the Seventh Prince is not qualified to enter the Library Pavilion to read because of his low status, why did the princess just ask the emperor to go to the Library Pavilion, and the Seven Princes then went to the Library Pavilion every day?" ”
Xuantianji's face changed, and he realized that Nangong Muxue was not good, "Lord Nangong, I might as well tell you the truth, before Lian'er entered the palace, he once saved me, and I fell in love with Lian'er at first sight since then, and later after knowing Lian'er's identity, I knew that I couldn't climb high, and I didn't think about it, I just hope to stay by her side for a while, and then later, you must also know that now we are happy with each other, and please Nangong Lord fulfill." ”
Xuantian Ji's answer did not satisfy Nangong Muxue, on the contrary, Nangong Muxue recalled Feng Wu Qingfeng's words, looked at Xuantian Ji, the man in front of him was born a very beautiful person, gentle and elegant, with an extraordinary temperament, and it seemed that there was no city at all, but Nangong Muxue had read countless people, and she couldn't see through Xuantian Ji's thoughts, unless this person really didn't have the slightest malice, otherwise Xuantian Ji was scheming.
Nangong Muxue will never leave half a threat to Ji Jinglian's side.
Nangong Muxue suddenly took out a small bottle and said indifferently: "This is the antidote that the princess configured for King Leng, but there is only half of it inside, if the seventh prince wants to get the other half of the antidote, go and tell the princess that you want to marry her." ”
Xuan Tianji's eyes were cold, and he didn't go directly to get the medicine, but just asked, "Then what?" What does Nangong-sama want Tianji to do? ”
Nangong Muxue was stunned for a moment, Xuantianji was really smart, Nangong Muxue said: "The princess met the Seventh Prince when she was in love, and she only wanted to marry the Seventh Prince at this time, but the identity of the Seventh Prince was not worthy of the princess at all, so the minister wanted to ask the Seventh Prince to pretend to agree to marry the princess, and wait until His Royal Highness King Ling and the princess got married, and the antidote would be served." ”
Xuan Tianji looked at Nangong Muxue in surprise, and said: "No, Lian'er can't marry Xuan Lingji, Nangong Lord, Tianji really likes Lian'er, really wants to marry Lian'er, and asks Nangong Lord to fulfill it." ”
Xuan Tianji said, and immediately knelt down.
What he hated the most was kneeling with people, but when he heard that Nangong Muxue was going to marry Ji Jinglian to Xuan Lingji, he couldn't care about anything else, because Ji Jingjian could never marry Xuan Lingji.
Nangong Muxue didn't have the slightest soft-heartedness, and said coldly to Xuan Tianji: "Can't marry King Ling? Do you want Her Royal Highness to marry a mother killer? ”
Xuantian was startled, his face showed surprise at this moment, and he hurriedly said, "How do you know?" No, it was a mistake back then~"
"Whether it's a misunderstanding or an intention, although Her Royal Highness the princess is smart, she doesn't understand the affairs of men and women, my Nangong Muxue's mission is to protect the princess and not let her be hurt in the slightest, so the princess's husband can't be you Xuantianji, a prince who has fallen out of favor, no status, no power, you even need to rely on King Leng to protect yourself, what qualifications do you have to marry a princess?" Nangong Muxue didn't give him a chance at all, and directly threw the antidote to him, saying: "If you want a brother or a woman, the Seventh Prince has to think about it carefully." ”
Xuan Tianji clenched the medicine bottle tightly, and said with a sneer: "Could it be that deceiving Juan'er is to protect her and do her good?" ”
Nangong Muxue said: "The princess will understand in the future." ”
——
Ji Jinglian found a reason to sneak away to find Xuantianji, but fortunately, Xuantianji was not favored, so he was basically no different from the cold palace, and no one would find her.
Xuantianji was reading a book in the courtyard, and his serious appearance was still the same as before, and it was still the same place.
Suddenly, Xuantianji put down the book and said calmly: "Since you're here, let's come out." ”
Ji Jinglian smiled and walked out, "How do you know I'm here?" ”
Xuan Tianji suddenly dropped the book and hugged Ji Jinghuan tightly in his arms, he didn't expect this feeling of losing her to be so uncomfortable, "Lord Nangong has asked the emperor for a decree, and I will be able to marry you soon, but it is unlucky for you and me to meet before the wedding, Lian'er, don't go out of the post station these days, wait for me to marry you, okay?" ”
Ji Jing was stunned for a moment, and said a little shyly, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
"Xuantianji, you know? I never thought about what it would be like when I got married, but when I met you, I started looking forward to it. ”
"But when I get married, I will take off the identity of Empress Ming Jiang, and from now on I will only be your good wife of Xuantianji, okay?"
"Okay."
Xuantianji's voice trembled, he never thought that he would end up in a deserted situation emotionally, obviously he just deliberately approached Ji Jinglian, why can't he let go of him now?
