Chapter 404: Dilemma
This letter that made Qi Mei's pineapple blossoms rain turned out to be written to her by her father Qi Xianzong. In addition to severely reprimanding her for not saying goodbye and rushing to Xi'an without permission, the letter also stated that she had been engaged to a marriage contract, and the other party was Zheng Zhibao, the fifth brother of Zheng Zhilong, the head of the Zheng family in Fujian. Now Qi Xianzong has accepted the dowry of the Zheng family, urging Qi Meifeng to return to Dengzhou immediately and prepare to leave the cabinet to complete the marriage.
Zhu Youzhen suddenly realized after reading it, it turned out that Qi Xianzong made the decision to marry her without Qi Meifeng's knowledge, no wonder Qi Meifeng cried bitterly!
He couldn't help but be furious, secretly thinking about Zheng Zhilong Zheng Zhibao, you can't even be Zheng Zhihua! Meifeng is already her own woman, no one wants to snatch it away!
Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but snort heavily: "This old man Qi is really confused, how can the marriage of his children be so childish!" Meifeng, you don't have to worry, I'll rush right away..."
But as soon as he said this, he suddenly remembered the holy decree given to him by the apocalypse, and he couldn't help but shudder violently. Now that the emperor has become suspicious of himself, thinking that Dongchang and Jinyiwei are pervasive, I am afraid that he has been closely monitored now.
And it is a capital crime for the vassal king to leave the fief without permission, if he rushes to Dengzhou, he will not only harm himself and all the people in the Qin Palace, but also harm the Qi family!
Qi Meifeng didn't notice Zhu Youzhen's hesitation, she just cried bitterly: "I will never marry someone else!" But the parents' orders did not dare to disobey, and it was difficult to have both, so Meifeng had to commit suicide to show her heart! ”
As she spoke, she flipped her palm and slapped it down on her temple. Fortunately, Rui'er was beside her, and immediately grabbed her wrist firmly, and persuaded with tears on her face: "Sister Meifeng, why bother! If you go, how can you embarrass the prince! ”
Everyone also hurriedly rushed up, so that they could persuade Qi Meifeng to stop. Zhu Youzhen also felt that his throat was hot, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said, "Meifeng, don't worry, I will be responsible for you!" I'll persuade you, old man, but I can't be too hasty now. ”
Then he recounted the events of the decree he had received. When the women heard this, they also looked at each other, and they were all frightened in their hearts. In their eyes, Zhu Youzhen is the biggest backbone; Now that this main backbone is also muddy and bodhisattva itself is difficult to protect, aren't these weak women even more helpless!
There was an awkward cold scene in the room, and no one knew what to say. In the end, it was Chen Yuanyuan who broke the silence, she was deeply blessed by Zhu Youzhen, raised her eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "The slave family knows that the prince is in a bad mood, but my mother has sent someone to find the door and ask the slave family to return to Jinling as soon as possible." The slave family has been harassing the palace for many days, and their hearts are also very uneasy. The king's life-saving grace will never be forgotten by the slave family; But there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, and the slave family wants to bid farewell to the prince..."
Zhu Youzhen was already frantic with annoyance, but when he saw Chen Yuanyuan saying that he was going to leave again at this juncture, his fragile nerves finally couldn't bear it, and he suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled: "Okay, okay, let's go, let me go!" I'll be left here alone! ”
Before this, Zhu Youzhen had never lost his temper with the women. At this time, it suddenly erupted like a volcano, frightening all the girls to the point of discoloration, and they all knelt on the ground, crying in a trembling voice: "The prince is angry! ”
Zhu Youzhen's chest rose and fell violently for a while, and finally calmed down. I thought to myself what's wrong, even if there is a big difficulty that can't be solved, I shouldn't lose my temper at my family and these delicate women! They are the ones who care about and love themselves the most!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel guilty, and hurriedly helped the girls up one by one, and kept making amends in his mouth: "Cunqi County Lord, please get up quickly, this king has scared you!" You can also sit down, beware of the child in your belly! Rui'er, you help your husband pick up Meifeng. Alas! It's all my fault, and everyone has been wronged! But Miss Chen, since you're gone... There, why go back? ”
Rui'er also hurriedly helped Chen Yuanyuan up, half comforting and half disgusting: "Yuanyuan girl, it's not me who blames you, you really shouldn't have said those words, no wonder the prince is angry!" Although the prince is rarely in the mansion these days, Yulian and I have always regarded you as sisters. The girl Bingxue is smart, do you want me to elaborate? ”
In fact, Chen Yuanyuan was able to come to the Qin Palace, purely because of the accident, and Zhu Youzhen never said that he wanted Chen Yuanyuan to be included in the mansion. But Rui'er speculated that Chen Yuanyuan had the appearance of captivating the country and the city, and had an opportunity with Zhu Youzhen; The prince is in the prime of his life, how can he not be tempted in the face of her?
What's more, Chen Yuanyuan, Bao Yulian, and the four sisters also married Jin Lan, and the relationship is even closer. These days, Rui'er also feels that Chen Yuanyuan is both talented and beautiful, although he has a weak personality, he also has his own opinions, which is by no means comparable to ordinary women in the dust.
Who doesn't want to have a good home? But Zhu Youzhen didn't know if he was busy and fainted or what's wrong, he kept ignoring Chen Yuanyuan, no wonder people would have the idea. At this time, others are not easy to speak, and Rui'er, as the mistress of the palace, wants to show a welcoming attitude.
Chen Yuanyuan knelt down again when he heard this, his tears were like broken pearls, and he said while crying: "Niangniang and the prince are very good to the slave family, but the slave family is a person in the dust after all, how dare they defile the palace." If it spreads, the prince's reputation will suffer. Mother's methods are very powerful, and the slave family does not dare not go back. Tomorrow morning, a car will come to pick up the slave's family, and the slave family will go to pack up. Lord, mother, the slave family is leaving! ”
After that, Chen Yuanyuan fled back to his room crying and closed the door tightly. In this process, Zhu Youzhen did not say a word, and he was very embarrassed. The women couldn't help but glared at him angrily, especially Bao Yulian, who said anxiously: "Lord Wang, why are you like this!" She finally left the demon cave, can you bear to let her fall back again, my lord? ”
Zhu Youzhen is also doing a fierce ideological struggle in his heart. Chen Yuanyuan can be called a peerless person, as long as he is a normal man, he will definitely be tempted by her, and Zhu Youzhen is naturally no exception. But he already has Rui'er and Bao Yulian, and he is going to marry Qi Meifeng soon, so how can he fight Chen Yuanyuan's idea again?
But if Chen Yuanyuan was let go like this, Zhu Youzhen couldn't bear it. Chen Yuanyuan in history had a tragic ending and was burdened with undeserved infamy, how could he repeat the mistakes of such a weak woman? Qi Meifeng's matter has already made him feel depressed, and he is even more in a dilemma with Chen Yuanyuan!
After thinking about it, he still made up his mind to save Chen Yuanyuan from the sea of suffering. No matter what happens in the future, we can't let her suffer that painful ordeal again!
"Miss Chen has been crying, and the prince is not going to persuade her." At this time, Li Zhenyan also walked in, smiled at Zhu Youzhen, and encouraged him.
Her words just gave Zhu Youzhen a step. Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but smile gratefully at Li Zhenyan, and then said embarrassedly: "What, I'll persuade Miss Chen, I'll come back in a while!" ”
When he came to the door of Chen Yuanyuan's room, Zhu Youzhen mustered up his courage and knocked on the door lightly: "Miss Chen, it's me!" Can I go in? ”
"Squeak~" The door slowly opened, and Chen Yuanyuan stood shyly in front of Zhu Youzhen. There were tears on her long eyelashes, but there was a hint of hope in her eyes!
