Chapter 4: Threats
On this day, the Cen Mansion was full of people, and there was an endless stream of guests who came to give gifts and congratulate them.
Hearing the movement of people coming and going, Cen Muning knew that King Ruiming had agreed to the marriage.
"Miss, the fourth aunt said to come back later." Ji Xia bit his lower lip aggrievedly: "Now only the fourth aunt and wife in this mansion treat you well......
Cen Mu couldn't be sad, and his eyes were firm: "So after I leave the mansion, I can't let her be angry with the Guo family." ”
"I'm afraid it's hard." As soon as Ji Xia's words fell, he heard someone knocking on the door. "Here we are."
Cen Mooning cleaned up her face and leaned on the cushion to look in the direction of the door. "Father."
Cen Yun really didn't want to see Cen Muning's face again, as long as he thought of her, he would think of her pounced on Mu Chuan, her mouth full of blood. It's just that King Ruiming's entourage had to hand over the brocade box to her with his own hands, and he could only come over hard.
"Father." Cen Muning's slender body shivered from the cold wind that poured into the door. But her determined eyes made people dare not face it. "I don't marry, I ......"
"I can't help you." Cen Yun interrupted her angrily: "The Queen Mother has already nodded, how can you regret it." Even if you die, your father will send your body to the Ruiming Palace. ”
Crystal tears overflowed from her eyes, she frowned, and asked in a difficult voice, "Why doesn't my father believe me?" ”
"You know better than anyone else." Cen Yun's eyes flashed fiercely, suppressed the resentment in his chest, and said in a low voice: "If you still care about the face of your dead mother, you will obediently agree to this marriage." Otherwise, you're the one who makes her feel bad! You don't want the wrong things she did back then to be made public now, do you? ”
Hiss –
This is the sound of her heart being torn, Cen Muning's face turned pale, looking at the father who used to treat her in every way, she only felt like a world away. She finally nodded. "I promise."
"That's right." Cen Yun breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still ugly: "King Ruiming asked someone to send you something, you have always been the best at talking, don't let your father down." ”
"Yes." Cen Mooning lowered her head and wiped the tears from her face. Since he is ruthless, then don't blame her for being unfilial.
changed his clothes, and sent Xia to lead Yin in.
"Subordinate Yin Li, I've seen Miss Cen."
Respectfully presented the brocade box in his hand, Yin Li said calmly: "The master instructed his subordinates to personally hand over this brocade box to you." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness King Ruiming for me." When Cen Muning reached out to pick up the brocade box, she was affected by the whiplash wound on her body, and she frowned in pain.
Yin Li just glanced at it lightly, and he knew it in his heart. I'm afraid this daughter has suffered a lot.
"The subordinates retired." He turned around and walked out of the room, his eyebrows locked, could this be a bitter ploy arranged by the prime minister?
all know that King Ruiming is notoriously vicious and ruthless, and Ji Xia has a relative: "Miss, let the slave maid watch it for you." ”
Cen Muling knew her mind and nodded slightly.
There is a delicate small jade bottle in the box, and there are five words on the bottle: Artemisia on the snow.
"What is this?" I don't know what to do.
Cen Muning curled the corners of her lips slightly, and said two words in a blurred eye: "Poison." ”
"Poison ...... Poison! Jixia was so frightened that his face turned blue, and as soon as his hand became weak, the box fell to the ground.
The jade bottle was thrown out, bouncing and rolling down, and finally stopped at Cen Muning's embroidered shoe. She bent over with great difficulty and picked up the bottle in pain. The jade bottle is soft and smooth, and it is as good as ever.
"Miss, why did King Ruiming send a bottle of poison?" Ji Xia Qiang endured the fear in his heart and choked up: "Does even he want your life?" ”
Cen Muning played the jade bottle with her fingertips, and felt that a good piece of jade, the comfort brought by the temperature of the tentacles was far more real than the threat of death.
She raised her head and looked at Ji Xia with a little pride: "I didn't be killed with a whip, but God has eyes, and wants me to keep this cruel life to find out the truth of the year and avenge my mother." Do I know it's poison, and I'll still eat it? ”
"But how can anyone send poison as a dowry......" Ji Xia's tears swirled in his eyes: "He is clearly telling you that even if you marry into the Ruiming Palace, you will not escape death, Miss, why do you bother to jump into the fire pit knowing that it is a fire pit?" ”
"Not necessarily." Cen Muning made up her mind and would not change it. "Jixia, it's time to change my dressing."
"Yes." Ji Xia nodded vigorously: "The slave will go now." ”
Holding the delicate little jade bottle tightly, Cen Muning's knuckles turned white: "King Ruiming, no matter what your intentions are, I will use your power to achieve my goals." ”
