Chapter 440: Substitute Marriage

Shen Xingwan's memory recovered, but because of the headache, he had no energy for several days, and his expression was a little pale.

When Qi Han came to the door, she was taking the Ninth Princess to brew plum blossom wine with fresh snow water.

The ninth princess picked the petals on the side, "I'm going to take the wine to the northern frontier and have a drink when I miss it." ”

"Take them all." Shen Xingwan thought that she wouldn't be able to drink this wine, and she would no longer be in Xiling in the coming year.

Qi Han walked in with a lifetime of coldness, holding a beautiful sugar man pinched into a rabbit in his hand, and he handed it directly to the ninth princess, "Your favorite sugar man." ”

The ninth princess took it, and the look on her face was a little aggrieved.

Qi Han glanced at Shen Xingwan, "Are you sick?" ”

"I didn't sleep at night." Shen Xingwan didn't have much spirit.

"After the year, I will go to the Zhou family to propose marriage." Qi Han said indifferently, "You go home as soon as possible." ”

Shen Xingwan let out a "hmm", without much reaction, she returned to the room with the collected snow water.

There were only two people left in the courtyard outside in an instant, and the ninth princess looked down at the sugar man in her hand and didn't speak.

Qi Han said softly, "The feudal ambassador Luo Ye is both talented and beautiful, you will be happy if you marry him." ”

The Ninth Princess pinched her palms and held back the tears that were about to fall, "Everyone outside said that you were using me to win him over, is it true?" ”

Qi Han looked directly at her tears rolling down, "He promised that he would treat you well." ”

"I see." The Nine Princesses said.

How intimate the two are, how much they are relatively speechless now.

Qi Han didn't say much, and after telling Shen Xing to return to Zhou's house early, he left.

The ninth princess lowered her head and bit the sugar man in her hand, obviously very sweet, but she felt bitter in her heart.

Shen Xingwan looked at her and cried, but did not comfort her.

This is the painful period that she will inevitably experience when she grows up, and her identity is destined not to be alone.

She said sadly, "I always feel like I've done something wrong. ”

After so much has happened, she finally realized that under the current situation, Qi Han and the royal family must have a battle.

"Think about what you want." Shen Xing said late.

The Emperor summoned the Ninth Princess the next day, and she and the Third Princess sat in the dark room, both of them were quiet and did not make a sound, and they both heard the conversation outside.

After the emperor gave him the throne, he asked directly, "I heard that the regent came to see you yesterday?" ”

The ninth princess clenched the corners of her clothes uneasily, "Yes." ”

The Emperor leaned back in his seat and coughed a few times, "So what do you think?" ”

The ninth princess didn't speak, she barely slept all night, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Are you really going to help him and raise the butcher's knife to your siblings and blood relatives?" The Emperor snapped.

These words were too heavy, and the ninth princess could hardly bear it, and she said in fear, "Brother Huang is not like this..."

"You should know better than anyone what it means for you to marry in Northern Xinjiang." The Emperor sighed.

The ninth princess was extremely uncomfortable, she felt that she was now roasted on the fire, and the palms and backs of her hands were full of meat.

She couldn't say the word "not to marry" no matter what.

"Remember to burn paper for us next year, Jiu'er." The emperor said disheartenedly.

The ninth princess felt terrible when she thought about that scene, these were her relatives who were connected by blood.

She fell to the ground in grief, "Brother Huang, tell me what I should do, what I should do is right, so that I don't hurt anyone." ”

The emperor looked at her for a while, then reached out and touched her face, "Jiu'er, I don't embarrass you, I don't object to you because of the regent's kindness, you only need to promise me one thing." ”

"What's the matter?" The ninth princess asked.

"Mix your sister and the third princess in the wedding procession and bring it over." The Emperor demanded.

The Ninth Princess asked puzzledly, "Why do you want to do this?" ”

The emperor looked at her with pity, "You don't need to know, as long as you do this, you have fulfilled your responsibility as a princess." ”

"Your promise to marry is a reward for the regent, and bringing your sister over is a reward for the royal family, so that you can live up to both."

As for the rest of the matter, it's not something she can know and influence.

The ninth princess closed her eyes, "Okay, I promise." ”

The ninth princess walked out in despair, she didn't dare to ask or think more, she could only be a fool in order to convince herself.

The Emperor glanced into the dark room, "Come out." ”

The third princess and Shen Xingwan walked out of it, both of them looking a little dignified.

"This is too cruel for Jiu'er." The third princess couldn't help but say.

The emperor was unmoved, "The cruel one is still to come, you are the only hope for the imperial family." ”

Except for the three princesses who were sent out, the others who stayed in the imperial city, once they fought, there was actually little hope of survival.

"Brother Huang, I will definitely live up to my trust." The third princess said solemnly.

Shen Xingwan asked affirmatively, "Are you going to marry on your behalf?" ”

According to the emperor's plan, the ninth princess must not really marry Luo Ye.

"Yes, on the surface, I sent Jiu'er to Northern Xinjiang, but in the end, it can only be the third princess who gets married." The Emperor said.

The Ninth Princess is now a tool to both sides, and both sides have pity for her, but not much.

Even Shen Xingwan is now an ally with the royal family's northern frontier, and no one can save the fate of the ninth princess.

The princess, who was once the most noble and favored, will eventually embark on a destined road.

The people who flow fireflies will touch in from the route given by the emperor, and when the time comes, Shen Xinghui will be protected and retreat.

And once the fight starts, Fu Jingchao must support the Luo family at that time, and cannot let the throne fall into the hands of Qi Han.

As for himself, the emperor didn't mention a word, and he had already accepted his fate.

Out of the palace, Shen Xingwan was in a very bad mood.

The culprit of everything was Qi Han, and since he had brought himself here, Shen Xingwan didn't want to let him go like this.

Men fight men, she wants to take revenge in her own way.

Back in the side hall where she lived, the ninth princess had already cleaned up her mood, but her face had lived up to her original innocence and became an adult who was worried about her heart.

Bai Ling prepared a fresh pot, and the ninth princess drank wine while eating, and soon got drunk.

"It's okay to get drunk..."

The palace people quickly helped her down to rest, and Shen Xingwan also put down her chopsticks and stopped eating, "Bai Ling, you clean up, we will go back to the Zhou Mansion tomorrow." ”

The third lady of the You family has been fighting with Qi Han recently, and the money bag of the You family has also contributed to Qi Han.

How could she, the "quasi-princess" whom he had worked so hard to get back, be absent from this big show.

She's kept a low profile for so long, and she has to make a high-profile appearance.

"Miss, you don't really want to get married, do you?" Bai Ling said hesitantly.

Shen Xingwan's eyes lit up, "I also want him to have that life to marry." ”

The next day, under the reluctant gaze of the ninth princess, Shen Xingwan said goodbye to her and prepared to return to the Zhou family.

"You remember to come and see me, I guess I'll get married soon." The Nine Princesses said.

"Definitely." Shen Xing replied late.
