"Ying Ying …" Afraid of scaring Yingying, Xiao Tian Yuan lowered his voice.
Ying Ying looked at him fixedly. She shook her head in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice, "Big Brother, what are you talking about? Say that again? "
Xiao Tianyuan swallowed and spoke with difficulty, "The Empress said that she wants you to marry King Xuan as a secondary wife."
"No, I don't want to marry King Xuan. I don't want to marry King Xuan. If I were to marry her, I'd rather die!" Ying Ying cried out uncontrollably. She was unwilling to believe this was true.
Xiao Tianyuan stepped forward and grabbed Ying Ying's hand, comforting her weakly, "You heard from big brother that big brother doesn't want you to marry King Xuan either. However, this is the Empress' imperial decree, so big brother has no way of refusing it." If elder brother could reject it in your place, he would have done so a long time ago. But now, even elder brother is helpless against it.
"I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen. In any case, I won't marry King Xuan, I won't marry him no matter what." Ying Ying had completely lost all rationality. She felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded inside and out of her brain, causing her to wish she were dead. "I'm going to find the Empress and find out. I won't marry King Xuan." The more Ying Ying said, the more agitated she became. She ran out of the courtyard.
Xiao Tianyuan pulled her back, "Yingying, don't be rash … "This is the empress's imperial decree."
"Big brother, I really don't want to marry King Xuan. I don't like him at all." Ying Ying could no longer hold back her tears. The person she had always liked was Fang Zinan, always Fang Zinan. Even if Fang Zinan got married, the person she liked would still be him. There was no one else in her heart. However, to suddenly marry someone else, and that person was King Xuan, was something she couldn't accept.
Xiao Tianyuan embraced Ying Ying and consoled her in a gentle voice, "Ying Ying, listen to big brother say that big brother knows that you also don't want to marry King Xuan. Big brother has truly let you down."
"Big Brother, even if I die, I won't marry King Xuan." Ying Ying seemed to have thought of something and grabbed Xiao Tian Yuan's hand tightly. "Big brother, can you think of a way for me? I really want to marry King Xuan, quickly think of a way for me. "
Xiao Tianyuan had been thinking about it the entire way back, but he'd been at a loss about it. The empress's words were so intimate that he'd been unable to find a reason to refuse.
At this moment, Ying Ying suddenly broke free from Xiao Tianyuan's embrace and charged toward the fake mountain in the courtyard. Xiao Tianyuan was shocked. He had no time to stop Ying Ying before he saw her crash into a fake mountain. Blood immediately flowed from her head, and her jade-like face was filled with fresh, fresh blood.
"Ying Ying …" Xiao Tian Yuan cried out as he helped her up. He only saw a bloody hole on her forehead as she bled profusely. It was unknown just how severe the injury was and half her face was covered in blood.
Xiao Tianyuan hugged her painfully. "Ying Ying, why do you have to go through so much trouble? Even if you don't want to marry King Xuan, you can't simply give birth to him. "Furthermore, it's not like we have no way at all …" He was still comforting Ying Ying when he suddenly thought of a way, "…" We... We can ask Prince Rong and his wife to help persuade the empress... "You're too stupid …"
Ying Ying had been wounded to the point where she was barely able to breathe. It was unknown whether it was because of the pain from her wound or the pain from her heart that caused her to shiver. Hearing Xiao Tianyuan's words, his eyes went wide. "…" You... "Are you for real …"
"Why would Big Bro lie to you …" I'll ask the king to come right now... He will definitely come up with a way to solve this problem for us … "He will definitely …" Xiao Tianyuan's words were meant to comfort Ying Ying, but in the end, even he felt that Prince Rong could definitely do it. The more he spoke, the more resolute he became, and the more certain his tone became.
"Big Brother …" "You can't be lying to me, right …" Ying Ying said with a weak voice, her face was shockingly pale from the blood.
Xiao Tianyuan picked up his sister. "Of course big brother won't lie to you …" Come... "Big brother will help you stop the bleeding first …" With that, he strode Yingying into the room and shouted at the servant standing in the courtyard in shock, "Hurry and get a doctor."
By the time Fang Zinan and his wife arrived at the Xiao manor, the doctor had already bandaged Ying Ying's wounds. Ying Ying was lying on the bed, her elegant face pale and still in a coma.
Seeing this, Shang Yiqing hurried over to check on Ying Ying's injuries. "It's okay, it's just a superficial wound. Although it's bleeding profusely, it's not life-threatening." Shang Yiqing then turned around and instructed, "When Ying Ying wakes up, tell her to eat lighter food instead of scallions, ginger, or garlic. That way, her wounds can be healed quickly. It's not easy to leave scars either."
Fang Zinan looked at the dazed Xiao Tian Yuan, then patted his shoulder comfortingly. "Brother Xiao, don't worry too much. Ying Ying will be fine very soon."
Xiao Tianyuan nodded silently. "I know … That's not what I'm worried about... If the empress insisted that Ying Ying marry King Xuan … "I'm afraid she will …" Xiao Tian Yuan could not continue, nor could he bear to continue.
"Don't worry, Brother Xiao. We'll definitely think of a way to convince the empress." Although that was what he said, Fang Zinan wasn't very confident, because once the empress made her decision, it would be very difficult to change her mind.
Shang Yiqing raised her head and looked at Fang Zinan. She saw worry in his eyes and immediately knew that Fang Zinan was in a difficult position. The words she had said just now were only for Xiao Tianyuan's ears. She thought to herself, "It looks like convincing the empress won't be easy. Since Fang Zinan isn't confident, I might as well give it a try myself." She had gone to the palace many times to treat the empress, so she had a certain understanding of her temper. Moreover, the empress seemed to be a very reasonable person, so she might have a chance to change the empress's mind.
At this thought, Shang Yiqing could not help but stand up and walk closer to Xiao Tianyi, "Big Brother Xiao, don't worry. Tomorrow, I will go to the palace with Prince Rong to beg the Empress. I believe she will definitely change her mind."
Xiao Tianyuan looked gratefully at the two and said solemnly, "Thank you very much, both of you. If you can really convince the empress and make her change her mind, I would be extremely grateful!"
"Brother Xiao, please don't say that. You've helped us so many times, we don't know how to repay you. This matter is our repayment for you." At the same time, he made up his mind that he would definitely convince the empress tomorrow when he entered the palace. He couldn't let Ying Ying lose her life because of this.
Xiao Tianyuan slightly nodded. "Then I'll leave this matter to you! Ying Ying is a stubborn girl. She will definitely not marry King Xuan. I'm really afraid of her … "
"Big Brother Xiao, you don't trust anyone at all. Don't worry, we'll definitely convince the empress."
