07 Cane Blame
"Brother Cheng is really a disappointment for me as a younger brother, but even if Brother Cheng stops me, I have to say it for the sake of Brother Cheng's happiness." That Yu Ning suddenly pointed at Jielan angrily and said, "This woman actually came to me last night."
Everyone present, including Jielan, was stunned, not knowing what was going on, and Jielan was probably too nervous to know what to say.
"You... Say what? Yu Qing couldn't believe it.
"This woman came to me and said that she didn't want to marry you, but you forced her, she had to marry, and she said that even if she married you, she didn't know if she could complete the third thing, and she couldn't save the person she wanted to save, and she also said that she didn't believe that you would keep your promise to save people, so she came to me and begged me, saying that as long as I promised to save her friend, she could also marry me, Brother Cheng, do you say that you want to marry such a woman?" Yu Ning's words simply made everyone present completely angry, and they all wanted to drag Jielan out of this temple immediately.
"You are talking nonsense, how have I ever looked for you, and how have I ever said such a thing, why have you wronged me?" This time, it was Jielan who roared angrily.
"You see, she did it but didn't admit it, how can you rest assured that such a cunning woman will let her stay by your side day and night, I, as a younger brother, am very worried." Yu Ning still didn't forget to belittle Jielan at this moment.
Even if she really didn't want to marry this Yuqing City Lord, but this Yu Ning wronged herself so much, how could Jielan accept it, not to mention that she didn't know what his intentions were at all.
"You... You..."Jielan really didn't know how to scold this person to clear everyone's misunderstanding of herself, but she thought that even if she scolded this person, I am afraid that she would not be able to restore the impression of the ministers on herself, everyone would think that she was such a fickle woman, and everyone would despise and scold her.
Jielan's whole body trembled with anger, she glared at the ridiculous person in front of her, she couldn't figure out what this person was thinking, why he did it.
The city lord of Yuqing held Jielan's hand tighter, almost pinching her wrist, Jielan felt the force transmitted from the other party, and knew that the other party was already in a rage, she thought that at this time, she didn't know that this Yuqing city lord would treat herself like this, whether to let the guards take her into prison immediately, or immediately drag her out and behead her? Jielan really doesn't know what will happen?
The dreary hall has begun to stir, some messengers are worried about Jielan's fate, some messengers are watching this farce like a play, while some people are cursing Jielan, thinking that how can such a woman in the world do such a betrayal of her future husband before the wedding, let alone with the younger brother of the city lord.
After a long time, I suddenly heard the city lord of Yuqing shouting, and said angrily: "Someone! ”
The four guards guarding outside the hall came in, and everyone thought that they would immediately take Jielan down, but Yu Qing said: "Take this person who drinks and makes trouble and talks crazy things down, and beats the twenty boards." ”
The ministers were shocked, and they didn't expect that the city lord actually punished his younger brother and defended the woman beside him.
And Jielan was also very surprised, she looked up at the man beside her, and saw that his indifferent appearance was unmoved, Jielan didn't know whether to be moved or surprised, she just felt that all this had changed too suddenly, as if she had become a target, but as if she was an outsider, she could only watch the development of this scene, but she couldn't change it.
"What did Brother Cheng just say? Blame me? I can't be mistaken! Yu Ning was obviously not convinced.
"Do you need me to repeat it again? Escort him down and take the twenty boards seriously. The city lord of Yuqing said expressionlessly.
"Why? If you don't believe me, you should stop the wedding immediately and stop marrying this woman next to you. Yu Ning yelled.
"I believe that Jielan is not such a person, her quality is so clear to the owner than anyone else, not the city brother you can provoke, even if you don't like the master to marry Jielan as a wife, you shouldn't do such a ridiculous thing on the temple, let the city laugh at my city, if you punish you, where is the dignity of my city from now on? Take it down! Yu Qing didn't mean to forgive, and as soon as the words came out, all the people who were talking in private in the hall immediately stopped talking.
Although the guards did not dare to make a move against the prince, but the lord had an order, and they did not dare to disobey, so they said: "It's rude! He escorted Yu Ning away.
Yu Ning pushed them away and said, "I'll go by myself, I don't need your help." Before he left the main hall, he glanced at Jielan on the side, and then sighed, but his sigh made Jielan puzzled, she didn't know if he regretted that he had done this, or sighed that he would eventually become the queen of the city.
Jielan didn't know why, when she saw Yu Ning's face again, she couldn't see any resentment on his face, but her face was full of worry, Jielan thought it was her own illusion, so she didn't take it to heart.
After Yu Ning was taken out, Yu Qing said to Li Gong: "The auspicious time is almost over, let the city take the order." ”
Gonggong Li may not have recovered from the chaos, and only when he heard the order of the city lord did he react, and hurriedly handed the seal to Jielan with both hands, waiting to accept it.
Jielan looked at this order, hesitated and didn't take it, she asked calmly, "I want to know, why don't you believe what your brother said?" ”
"I've already said it, I believe in your character." Yu Qing's words were cold, and there was no longer any warmth.
Jielan didn't know why, although she should be very grateful to this city lord for choosing to believe in herself in the end, but Jielan didn't feel his pleasure at all, maybe he just chose to do it to protect his face, but in fact, he already hated himself in his heart. Jielan sneered a few times in her heart, and secretly thought, "It's ridiculous, Jielan, what are you expecting?" You obviously don't like him at all, but why do you want to ask the other party to like you wholeheartedly, this is just a transaction, even if the other party has any intentions to marry you, it is also a transaction, why should you expect more? Or are you still hoping that that person can come, to save yourself when you are already in a desperate situation, it's ridiculous, you can't save yourself, how can you expect others, and if you can't look forward to it, you can resent him? ”
Jielan suddenly shed two lines of tears, tears fell on the back of her hand, she knew that even if she wanted to escape, it was too late, she stretched out her hand, ready to take the order, when her fingertips touched the order, but suddenly heard a soldier outside the hall run in, and said urgently: "Report to the Lord, there are a large number of divine beasts outside the city, and the subordinates have confirmed, saying that the young monarch of the royal city came to Qing Zhou City in person, please show the lord, how to return the gift?" ”
When Jielan heard this, her hands trembled in shock, and then she involuntarily retracted her hand, turned to look at the soldier, she really couldn't believe that what she heard was true, she only trembled: "Is he really here?" ”
The city lord of Yuqing and the ministers present did not expect that the young monarch of the royal city would actually come to the city, they had not received any documents before, and they had not written the matter of the city lord's wedding to the royal city, why did the young monarch of the royal city appear at this time.
Lord Josuke hurriedly stepped forward and asked the soldier, "Are you sure that is the young monarch of the royal city?" ”
"They held the banner of the royal city, and said to their subordinates that they should come and inform the city lord that they would let the city lord go out of the city to greet him, and the subordinates would come to tell him." The soldier replied.
Lord Chengfu was also puzzled, but since the young monarch came to the city, he couldn't lose his courtesy, and hurriedly said: "The lord and the minister should go to the city gate to greet the young monarch immediately, and the big wedding has to be postponed." ”
"How about taking the seal and then greeting it? Are you still afraid of delaying this moment? Yu Qing seemed a little annoyed, and he was not very happy about the arrival of this so-called young monarch.
"I'm afraid not, if the young monarch of the royal city knows that the lord is learning that he has arrived, and does not immediately go to meet him, I am afraid that he will be angered by the young monarch, and then he will say that the lord is disrespectful to the royal city, so the blame will not be able to be clarified." Josuke persuke.
Yu Qing's face was gloomy, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and after a while, he calmed down and said, "Okay, set up to greet the young monarch, and all the ministers and envoys will go with the lord to pick up the car." After he finished speaking, he looked at Jielan and said, "Gonggong Li will send Jielan to the Taihe Hall of the master, and then continue with the queen of the city after the master welcomes him." ”
Jielan was startled, her face turned pale, didn't she mean to send herself to the Taihe Palace, so that she wanted to make herself his woman before she received the order? Jielan wanted to refuse, but was blocked by Yu Qing, and said: "No matter when you receive the order, you will be my Yu Qing's wife, and it is just right that the young monarch is here, and it is just right for us to witness the marriage, so you will be born in the Taihe Palace, and the lord will order the palace guards to take care of you." ”
Jielan couldn't resist, so she had to be at the mercy of this man, and she followed Gonggong Li out of the main hall, while the other envoys and ministers began to discuss how to welcome the young monarch of Wangcheng.
Black Pig and Qi Xue were escorted down by the guards again, and when they wanted to get rid of the guards and come to Jielan's side, Jielan shook his head at them, signaling not to be reckless, and Black Pig obeyed Jielan's instructions to let Qi Xue not resist and wait for Shaojun's arrival.
In any case, his arrival is like a piece of driftwood in the ocean, the only hope for many who have fallen into the sea.
