Chapter 63: Forced Marriage
A few days after Xuan Huaiyu entered the palace, the news of Chu Yao's death on Yuting Island reached the ears of King Xuan, and the five generals lost one in vain.
Before Xuan Huaiyu could find out who leaked the news, he was summoned to King Xuan's bedroom, only to see the white frost standing aside with red circles under his eyes wiping his tears, sobbing constantly, Imperial Doctor Zhang knelt in front of Xuan Huaiyu and pleaded guilty: "The minister is incompetent, please forgive Your Highness!" ”
Xuan Huaiyu hurriedly supported Imperial Physician Zhang and said, "Imperial Physician Zhang, please get up." ”
King Xuan was lying on the couch, with a painful look on his face, he had been tortured by illness for ten years, his beard was already white, his face was as pale as paper, and his lips trembled slightly and squeezed out a few words: "But...... Emperor...... The emperor is coming? After saying that, he coughed violently.
Xuan Huaiyu knelt in front of King Xuan's collapse, holding King Xuan's thin hands, and couldn't cry: "Father...... Erchen is not filial, failed to complete the mission of finding the five generals, and Erchen has no face to see his father and the people of Xuanguo. ”
King Xuan opened his mouth, but did not make a sound, turned his head with difficulty to look at the roof, two lines of tears slipped down the corners of his eyes, and he choked up after a while: "Is all this the will of heaven?" After speaking, he clenched his hands and slammed his fists to the side with all his strength, "This is all providence, providence does not let me avenge my son, and the people of Xuanguo have died in vain!" After speaking, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and Xuan Huaiyu hurriedly smoothed out King Xuan and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth for him.
"Father, you have to take care of the dragon's body!" Xuan Huaiyu wiped the sweat from King Xuan's forehead again.
"Yes, the king also please take care of the dragon's body, and it is not too late for the king to take care of his body and then try to declare the great cause of the country, and the frost is willing to share the worries for the king." The hoarfrost wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and knelt down in front of the collapse to persuade.
"Froststain, you're a good boy, ...... Come here. "King Xuan knew that the end was coming, he had asked Imperial Doctor Zhang before, he had been tortured by cold for ten years, and his internal organs were seriously damaged, and now there was only one month left, he had to see Xuan Huaiyu and the white frost dyed into marriage, and he could rest assured that Xuan Huaiyu was supported by the national teacher and the archmage.
A few days ago, when Bai Shuangran returned home, he cried with his father, telling Xuan Huaiyu that he was in love with someone else and wanted to break off the marriage contract with her. The national teacher was furious about this, angrily denouncing King Xuan's father and son for being ungrateful, and he didn't know what to do, so he bribed the personal palace people who were accompanying King Xuan, revealed Chu Yao's death to him, and ordered the old ministers who were good to take turns to go to King Xuan to talk to him, urging the prince to get married as soon as possible in order to declare the country's plan, and to open up the branches and leaves for the Xuanguo royal family as soon as possible.
The national teacher ordered Bai Shuang Ran to serve in front of King Xuan every day, King Xuan learned that Chu Yao was dead, and he was in a hurry, and the cold disease recurred, and now there was only one month left, and he thought that there was no one in the city to rely on except for the national teacher, and he only hoped that Xuan Huaiyu and Bai Shuang Dye would marry soon and win the support of the archmage.
Since the white frost stained back to Xuanguo, with the red feather grass obtained in the descending dragon yuan that day, refining it into an elixir to cultivate spells, now her scorching sun technique has broken through the fifth layer, and the spell is a thousand miles a day, and with the help of his father's power, as the head of the mages in the city, and the priests in important positions in Xuanguo have been recruited into her command, and for a while, she is already powerful, enjoying the dignity of one person and ten thousand people.
Bai Shuangran knelt in front of King Xuan, since her father told her to let her endure many times, no one can shake her power and status, the position of the princess of Xuanguo, the position of Queen Xuanguo will only belong to her, let her wait for Xuan Huaiyu to welcome her into the palace, she is looking forward to this day to come earlier, King Xuan trembled and handed over the hand of Bai Shuang Dye to Xuan Huaiyu's hands, and said to Bai Shuangran kindly: "Shuang Ran, you are a good boy, you and His Royal Highness the Prince are about to get married, and in the future, you will be one husband and wife, and I will be relieved." ”
King Xuan took a breath and said to Xuan Huaiyu in front of him: "Emperor, yesterday I discussed with the national teacher to set the Shangyuan Festival as your wedding day, and your enthronement ceremony was also held on that day. ”
"Father, I have always regarded Frost Dye as my own sister, how can I ......" Today was not the best time to say about him and Su Moyan, but if I don't say it now, I'm afraid there will be no more chance, Xuan Huaiyu wants to fight for Su Moyan for himself.
"Shut up!" King Xuan stopped Xuan Huaiyu's words, "You and Frost Dye have a marriage contract for a long time, and they are not blood brothers and sisters, Frost Dye is the crown princess I carefully selected for you, you don't have to talk about it." King Xuan was so angry that he blocked his chest in one breath, and coughed violently after speaking.
Bai Shuang Dye hurriedly persuaded the king: "Your Majesty, Brother Yu is the most filial, and in the future, Shuang Dye will definitely be filial piety with Brother Yu beside the king." ”
Xuan Huaiyu's eyes were cold, like a cold wind blowing through the white frost, the white frost stained smile froze on his face, and he wanted to open his mouth to speak, only to see King Xuan's tired expression, his lips were purple, this was a sign that the cold disease was about to attack again, he thought that King Xuan's cold disease has been more and more frequent in the past few days, and today he has made his father unhappy, and when his father's health improves, he will send someone to take Su Moyan into the palace to meet his father, and then think about asking his father to marry him and Su Moyan.
Xuan Huaiyu withdrew from King Xuan's dormitory, and asked Bai Shuangran with a cold face: "Shuang Ran, you know that I have no intention of being male or female towards you, why do you still say that in front of your father." I won't marry you. ”
Bai Shuang Ran lowered her eyes, couldn't see the look on her face clearly, remembered what her father had said to her, after enduring these few days, she would be the queen of Xuanguo, the most respected woman in the entire Xuanguo, so she replied quietly: "Brother Yu, the king is seriously ill, and I just say this as an expedient measure, just follow the king's wishes." He bit his lower lip again, clenched his fists and said: "I know that Brother Yu has no intention of me, but now I still need to cooperate with Brother Yu to follow the king's wishes, so that Brother Yu will not have trouble with the king, and the king can recuperate with peace of mind." ”
"Do you really think so?" Xuan Huaiyu's voice softened a lot, thinking that she had misunderstood the white frost, and seeing her aggrieved face, she regretted Fang Cai's questioning, and comforted her: "Frost, I misunderstood you." ”
Bai Shuangran gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, and still looked aggrieved and pitiful on his face, bowed down to Xuan Huaiyu and said: "Brother Yu, Shuangran will retire first, in order to make the king feel at ease, I will enter the palace tomorrow to serve the king." ”
"Froststained, you...... You'd better stay for dinner before leaving, right? "Xuan Huaiyu saw that in the past few days, the white frost has changed greatly from the arrogance of the past, and has been serving by King Xuan's side uninterruptedly for several days, so understanding and thinking about him, it seems that he is a villain, and wants to keep her in the palace for dinner before returning home.
"Brother Yu only needs to understand Frost Dye's heart, Frost Dye hopes that he can share his worries for Brother Yu," Bai Shuang Dye said with a sad face, and said: "It's just that Frost Dye has to work with his father to personally select herbs for the king to refine medicines, so that the king can be cured, if the king is cured, Brother Yu will be happy, and Brother Yu will be happy when Frost Dye is happy." After speaking, the white frost stained tears in his eyes, bowed and left.
The national teacher heard the movement and came to her room to ask her what was the reason for her personal maid, and the maid told the truth what the king said to Bai Shuangran today and Xuan Huaiyu questioned her.
The national teacher smiled when he heard this: "Daughter, those who become big things are not informal, and there is a father, who will definitely be able to help you achieve your wishes, if you become the queen of Xuanguo, then what is Su Moyan, now we should calm down and promote the marriage between you and Xuan Huaiyu." ”
"Daddy, these daughters know it, but the daughter really can't swallow this breath." White frost dyed leaned on the arms of the national teacher and said coquettishly.
The national teacher stroked his hoarfrost-dyed head and said softly: "If you have a father one day, you will not let my daughter suffer the slightest grievance." ”
