Chapter Forty-Eight: Falling in Love with the Prince
Ji Jinglian's eyes widened, and he looked at Xuan Lingji incredulously, he didn't have to be like this, Xuan Changji had fallen out of favor, and this should have been a good time for him.
Once he takes the blame for her, even if he can save her from punishment, he will also be implicated because of it, even further away from the crown prince.
"Xuan Lingji, you."
As soon as Ji Jingjian spoke, but before he could speak, Xuan Lingji spoke first and said: "Whether you are Empress Mingjiang or Princess Jian, since you are married to me Xuan Lingji, you are my woman, and I will naturally bear the responsibility for your mistakes, not to mention, this matter was originally my fault."
Ji Jinglian's head buzzed, and only Xuan Lingji's words echoed, she was his woman.
Gu Xiqing on the side looked at Xuan Lingji in surprise, not sure if he was still the same person. For the sake of the throne, he did not hesitate to sell his feelings and calculate the world. He never loved anyone, even if they used to love each other so much, they could be broken by him.
But now, she calculated him in every possible way, but she had no choice but to let him get out, and now Xuan Lingji is guilty of a woman, even if he will miss the throne because of this?
Long Xuanji looked at Xuan Lingji, his eyes only had deep meaning, but people couldn't see through it, "Do you know what crime it is to hurt the important ministers of the court?" β
"If it is a capital crime, if it is a royal family, you can be exempted from the death penalty and receive fifty rods." Xuan Lingji's answer seemed understated.
Ji Jinglian only looked at Xuan Lingji in amazement, everything in the past emerged, and only a silent sigh remained, it turned out that they had come such a long way together.
Long Xuanji also seems to have the intention of letting Ji Jinglian go, but he just has to give an explanation to the Mo family.
Long Xuanji walked up to Xuan Lingji, patted him on the shoulder silently, and said, "Go and be punished."
"Thank you, Father." Xuan Lingji indifferently received the punishment.
Until the eunuch came up, pulled Xuan Lingji to the bench, and hit Xuan Lingji's body hard with a stick.
Xuan Lingji endured it, biting his hands fiercely, his clothes were already wrinkled, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and the pain he endured was reflected in Ji Jinglian's eyes.
Ji Jinglian only felt a tingling pain in his eyes, tears swirling in his eyes, and he didn't care about anything else.
Ji Jingchuan turned around and suddenly knelt in front of Long Xuanji, "Father, this matter is all done by my daughter-in-law, please forgive King Ling." β
Everyone was surprised that such an arrogant person as Ji Jinglian would have a time to beg for help.
Long Xuanji was still expressionless, and just said coldly: "If you make a mistake, you will be punished."
Long Xuanji didn't give Ji Jingjian a chance to intercede, turned around and walked out, and the palace people behind him also retreated.
Ji Jingjian suddenly ran to Xuan Lingji's face with red eyes, held Xuan Lingji's hand tightly, and kept saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't listen to you, I'm sorry."
Xuan Lingji looked up at Ji Jinglian, but the corners of his mouth went up, revealing a smile: "Are you sad for me?"
Ji Jinglian didn't know what to say, just nodded, and still said: "I'm sorry, I'm too stupid, obviously I have a sincere heart around me, but I don't know, it's because I didn't cherish it."
Hearing this, Xuan Lingji was very happy, and reached out to caress Ji Jinglian's face, "Lian'er, it's worth it with your words." β
Ji Jingjuan couldn't hold back her tears, looked at the pain on Xuan Ling's body, gently leaned her forehead against his forehead, and then gently kissed his lips.
With the softness of his lips, Xuan Lingji was addicted for a moment, and he forgot all the pain.
Why?
Why did Ji Jinglian fall in love with Xuan Lingji?
Why is Xuan Lingji willing to give up the throne for Ji Jinglian?
Gu Xiqing's hand hidden in his sleeve couldn't help but clench, and the tips of his fingers sank into the palm of his hand, and the blood was fiercely pinched out.
Xuan Changji on the side saw what Gu Xiqing was doing, he was displeased, Xuan Changji realized that maybe Gu Xiqing was not forgetful of Xuan Lingji at all.
Gu Xiqing walked out in frustration, and Xuan Changji immediately followed.
It wasn't until everyone had finished that Ji Jinglian suddenly clenched Xuan Lingji's hand, and looked sharply at the two eunuchs who punished Xuan Lingji.
Ji Jinghuan said sharply: "You have already beaten fifty sticks, and if you do it again, you will offend the royal family, understand?"
A person who understood the words spoke in a very heavy tone, and the eunuchs were so frightened that they kowtowed again and again: "The princess can't, the emperor's orders can't be disobeyed."
Ji Jinglian said: "Princess Ben said that the punishment is over."
So the eunuch helplessly slapped the table and screamed at the same time, which looked a little funny.
Ji Jingjuan helped Xuan Lingji up, but Xuan Lingji shook his head with a speechless smile, "I really can't help you." β
Ji Jinghuan said: "I just want you to be okay."
Xuan Lingji held Ji Jinglian's hand tightly and hugged her into his arms......
"Gu Xiqing!"
Xuan Changji suddenly grabbed Gu Xiqing, who was only walking forward, and because he was too hard, he directly pulled Gu Xiqing around. But Xuan Changji didn't expect to see Gu Xiqing's eyes red, so sad and sad.
Xuan Changji suddenly became angry and said, "Gu Xiqing, what kind of place are you here?" This is the palace, and your words and deeds should be taken care of by this king. β
Gu Xiqing was silent and didn't say a word, but it made Xuan Changji feel distressed.
Gu Xiqing spoke for a long time before he spoke: "Xuan Changji, in fact, you know everything, right? You know everything, you've been watching the play from the sidelines, do you want to see if the former lovers of me and Xuan Lingji will kill each other, or do you want to see how despicable I am, even sisters can take advantage of? β
Xuan Changji was stunned, "What did you say?" β
Gu Xiqing suddenly shook off Xuan Changji's hand fiercely, and said indifferently: "From the time I calculated Gu Xiyuan, to the time I drugged Xuan Lingji, including everything that followed, you know, even this time, even Zhuo'er didn't know that I killed Mo Guanji."
As soon as the words fell, Xuan Changji immediately covered her mouth, endured his anger, and whispered, "Do you want to die?" The case has been decided, and it will be mentioned again. β
Gu Xiqing pushed away Xuan Changji, his eyes were red, "I don't even want to live for a long time, I just want to take revenge on Xuan Lingji, the Gu family, and everyone." I'm a conspiracy, but how much nobler are you than me? You know everything but don't stop it, what do you say to protect me, in fact, you just want to borrow me to deal with Xuan Lingji, I heard everything you said to Su Yi. β
Xuan Changji was a little panicked, "No, it's not like that, Xiqing, you listen to this king's explanation." β
Gu Xiqing looked at Xuan Changji in disappointment and said, "I don't want to hear it, I am stupid to be deceived once, I am stupid to be deceived twice, I will not be deceived a third time."
After Gu Xiqing finished speaking, he turned around and ran away.
Whether it's Xuan Lingji or Xuan Changji, they're just liars.
"Gu Xiqing!"
Xuan Changji stretched out his hand to grab Gu Xiqing, but Gu Xiqing turned around and left, and when his hand swept over Gu Xiqing's clothes, Xuan Changji suddenly became more afraid. It seems that as long as the woman in front of her leaves, she will no longer be able to grasp the feeling.
Xuan Changji was suddenly blocked by a figure, and when he saw that it was Xuan Tianji, he stopped chasing Gu Xiqing.
Xuan Tianji looked at Xuan Changji with some concern and asked, "Fifth brother, Zhuan'er, how is Princess Zhuan?"
Xuan Changji looked at Xuan Tianji's anxious appearance, but it was different from the calm him on weekdays, but it was normal for Xuantian to have a heart for Ji Jinglian.
Xuan Changji said: "She's fine, Xuan Lingji suddenly took everything on his head, saying that he killed Mo Guanji, and he took fifty canes for Ji Jinglian, and the matter was settled."
"Is it Xuan Lingji who bears it for Princess Lian?" Xuan Tianji was a little surprised and uneasy.
At this time, it was the best time for Xuan Lingji to compete for the position of the crown prince, and it stands to reason that he could not make a mistake at this time.
Unless, he also fell in love with Ji Jinglian.
Xuan Changji patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, and said: "Seventh brother, no matter what happened to you and Ji Jingjian before, now she is married to Xuan Lingji, if this king is not wrong, they are already in love, you should also let go."
Xuan Changji didn't say any more, just went to chase after Gu Xiqing, but his words kept echoing in Xuan Lingji's mind.
How could Juan'er fall in love with Xuan Lingji?
βLing Wangfuβ
After Xuan Lingji was punished and returned home, although he only received a few sticks, he was so injured that he couldn't get out of bed for a few days, but fortunately, there was Ruoyin's medicine in the house, and he got better faster.
Ji Jinglian has always been by Xuan Lingji's side, taking care of it carefully, without a trace of slackness.
Ji Jinglian said: "Since my father knows that you are taking the blame for me, he is even ruthless. β
Xuan Lingji said: "My father hopes that this king will avoid the villain's calculations, and it is just at this time that the king of Japan can keep his light and keep his eyes dirty."
Listening to his tone, Ji Jingchuan asked, "Do you know that someone is dealing with you behind your back this time?" β
Xuan Lingji looked at her and said: "This king was drugged and everything that followed, no matter how blind this king was, he could see that it was Gu Xiqing who stumbled this king behind his back."
Ji Jinglian said with a little vinegar: "You knew that it was Xiqing's doing, but you didn't make a move on her, but you feel distressed?"
Xuan Lingji reached out and pinched her chin, "When did the princess of this king also learn to be a jealous little woman?" β
Ji Jinglian held Xuan Lingji's face with both hands, gently looked at the corner of his forehead, and said: "Xuan Lingji, I regret it, I used to say that you can take a concubine, you can have other people's women, but now you don't count them, you can only like me alone."
The corners of Xuan Lingji's mouth raised slightly, pinched her chin with one hand, lifted it, and kissed the softness, "Okay, this king promises you." β
Xuan Lingji gestured to Chai Xin with his other hand, and Chai Xin immediately retreated, after all, it was not a day or two for his master and the princess to do this openly.
After everything was cleared, Xuan Lingji suddenly turned over and pressed Ji Jinglian under him, and grabbed her shoulder with his hand, "Lian'er, I can't help it." β
Ji Jinglian listened to Xuan Lingji's sultry words, his cheeks turned red for a while, and just as Xuan Lingji was about to take the next step, Ji Jingjian hurriedly stopped him, "Don't, Ling Ji, your injury." β
Xuan Lingji didn't stop moving, and continued to bite her ear, "What? I'm afraid your husband can't do it? β
Ji Jinglian had no way to take him, and he was teased with affection, and for a while, he had to go with him, Xuan Lingji relied on his own injury for her, and almost coerced and lured her to serve every day, and Ji Jinglian was addicted to it.
Ji Jinglian bit Xuan Lingji's lip lightly and said, "Lingji, don't bear me, I'm not a wind chime heart, I'm not another woman, if you bear me, I'll kill you." β
Xuan Lingji only cared about the pleasure at the moment, and said casually: "Death in your hands, this king is not in vain." β
