Chapter 240: Dissolving the marriage contract, Li Jia miscalculated
The novelty of the mighty general's return from the southern expedition was quickly replaced by the latest events in the capital.
The news of the wedding of the British king came out of the palace, although it was impossible to distinguish the authenticity, but seeing that the British royal palace was busy all day long, and it could be seen that good things were coming.
Everything seemed to fall into place, but at this juncture, the Zhenguo Mansion suddenly went into chaos.
Li Jia, the head of the household, went to the house, visited Ye Guogong, and took out a thing, saying that he had made a private agreement with Ye Zhiwei for life.
Ye Guogong was furious and ordered someone to drive Li Jia out of the house.
This incident caused an uproar in the capital, and rumors spread for a while, which was nothing more than saying that the concubines of the Zhenguo Mansion were not worthy of the king, and some people handed over the excerpts above the court, asking the emperor to dissolve the marriage contract.
The king of England was furious in the court at that time, and in the end he even made a move, which made the emperor unhappy, and directly issued an order to cancel his marriage contract with the Zhenguo Mansion.
For a time, the Zhenguo Mansion was pushed to the forefront.
Prince's Mansion.
Li Jia followed behind the attendant and walked through the courtyard to the prince's study.
"Li Jia?" The crown prince raised his head and smiled, "What is the result?" ”
Li Jia arched his hand and said: "Thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your help, the emperor has already ordered the King of England to dissolve the marriage contract with the Zhenguo Mansion." ”
The crown prince leaned back in his chair and said proudly: "In this way, it will be difficult for the King of England to get the support of the Zhenguo Mansion." "He was grounded by the emperor for only a few days, and the grass on the walls of the court had already given birth to the heart of defecting to the British king, and he just took the opportunity of Li Jia to disrupt the steps of the British king.
"You're going to the Zhenguo Mansion soon, right?" The prince was in a particularly good mood, and said with a smile: "Don't forget to invite this prince when you have a wedding wine." ”
Li Jia said respectfully: "I will never forget, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince's support, how could Li have today, Li is willing to serve His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
The prince laughed at it, as if he didn't care, but what he thought in his heart at this time was that if he accepted Ye Baishuang, the concubine of the Zhenguo Mansion, as a concubine, then the forces behind the Zhenguo Mansion would completely fall into his hands.
Li Jia happily prepared a generous gift for proposing, and carefully selected an auspicious day for the zodiac, preparing to go to the Zhenguo Mansion to officially propose.
He took his entourage, the carriage was full of dowry, and from a distance, he saw a noisy crowd in front of the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion, as if there were palace attendants entering and leaving.
When he came to the door, Li Jia casually found someone to watch the excitement and inquired: "This brother, I don't know what happened here, so lively?" ”
The man who was watching the excitement turned around and said excitedly, "You don't know? The emperor decreed that the daughter of the prince of Zhenguo should be enshrined, and Ye Zhiwei would be married to the prince of Nanwang as a concubine, and she would be awarded the title of Mrs. of the First Order, and the marriage would be completed on an auspicious day......"
Li Jia almost didn't hear anything after that, he sat on the horse, his body stiffened, his hands held the reins tightly, and his heart seemed to crack a bottomless abyss for a moment.
How so?
He stared blankly at the jubilant scene inside and outside the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion, until the attendant behind him called him in a low voice: "Lord Li." ”
Li Jia came back to his senses and found that his palms were all covered with fine beads of sweat.
"Hurry ......up," Li Jia turned his horse's head, "Go to the Prince's Mansion!" ”
The entourage behind him didn't know why, but it was difficult to ask, so he had to follow in a hurry.
Tsing Yi was dressed in civilian clothes, mixed in the crowd outside the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion, looking at the back of Li Jia and his party leaving, his eyes flickered.
Night.
Du Wei extinguished the candle on the desk, but did not fall asleep, but quietly leaned against the flower window, looking at the bright moon outside the window in a daze.
It's fifteen again, and he used to say that he hated the moon the most, but I don't know how ...... How is he doing? The poison in the body has been resolved, it should be fine, right?
Thinking of the chief attendant who suddenly entered the mansion during the day, he only stunned Ye Guogong, and the holy decree...... She knew that there was no free lunch in the world, and the emperor would give her a name, which must be the result of the wind and twilight cold circling in it, and she had vaguely guessed what he had paid for it.
Suddenly, I felt a little sad in my heart.
Feng Duhan's seemingly arrogant and ruthless back is how much heaviness that others can't understand, he has never said a word about Nanwangfu, but he is going to marry in that kind of place now.
She didn't know who there were in Nanwangfu and what she would encounter, and the world in front of her was confused, which couldn't help but make her feel helpless.
She hated this feeling, which was the helplessness and confusion that comes when her fate cannot be in her own hands.
After thinking about it, she couldn't figure it out, but she had a headache, she couldn't help but shake her head irritably, stood up and prepared to go to bed.
But as soon as he stood up, the breath in his chest suddenly stagnated, his eyes went dark, and his body rushed forward uncontrollably.
She knew something was wrong, so she had to hold her hands tightly on her chest before falling, for fear of hitting the wounds on her body when she fell.
At that moment, the lattice of the window crept, and a figure fell into the room like the wind, reaching out to hold her waist, and before she could fall, she fell into a strong embrace.
After a while, the black fog in front of her dissipated, Du Wei raised her head, Feng Duhan was looking down at her face, and her phoenix eyes flashed anxiously in the darkness.
"What's going on?" He asked in a low voice.
Du Wei's heart was sullen, so she only waved her hand and reached out to point to the bed.
Feng Duhan understood, picked her up horizontally, strode to the bed, carefully put her on the bed, and pulled a thin quilt over her body.
Du Wei tried to adjust her breathing, her face was as pale as paper, and after a while, cold sweat was already soaking through her clothes.
Feng Duhan frowned deeply, and said in a dumb voice: "How can it be like this, could it be that the dignified Zhenguo Mansion can't even afford to hire a doctor?" ”
Du Wei smiled bitterly, "How can it be...... The doctor has invited a lot. ”
"How can it still be like this?" Nearly two months have passed since Du Wei was injured, but her complexion seems to be getting worse and worse, and Feng Duhan can't help but feel an ominous feeling in her heart.
Du Wei's breathing was slightly smoother, and she half-jokingly said, "What? Do you regret it? After marrying a sick girl who wants to die and live all day long, the smell of medicine on your body has just faded a little, and it seems that you have to get a lot of it. ”
Feng Duhan didn't smile, her eyes were burning, and the light from the depths of her eyes seemed to suck her whole person in, so that people didn't dare to look directly, "Did you say anything when Huiwu hosted you to heal you?" ”
Du Wei tilted her head, thinking, "It doesn't seem to be anything ......" She lowered her eyes, hiding the gloom in the depths of her eyes, then raised her head and smiled: "At that time, I was groggy all day, how could I hear what he was saying." ”
Feng Duhan's lips twitched a few times, how could he not see the darkness hidden in her eyes, since returning to the capital this time, from the beginning when the two were strangers, to solving the misunderstanding, there seemed to be something hidden in her eyes.
He sent Tsing Yi and secret guards to monitor the Zhenguo Mansion day and night, but he still found nothing, but the uneasiness in his heart increased day by day, as if he had missed something, enough to make him regret it for the rest of his life......
He took her soft in his hand, as if only then would he feel at ease.
