Hua Rong mustered up her courage and said loudly: "I am indeed already married to Peng Quan. When I found him in Berlin, I married him. "
King Qin's eyes were bloodshot, "What about me? Have you forgotten that your father is the husband that you've been to bed with? "
"King Qin, even in the past, I have never treated you as my 'husband'. All I do is fear you and think hard about how to escape. That's right, back at Jinying, I was very grateful that you saved me. But so what? You can't ask me to marry you for that! I don't like you, I don't like you at all! Not only that, but when I see you, I'm scared, and I think of the nightmare I had on the island. "If I had to go through all that again, I would rather die right now …"
Every word, every sentence, was like thin needles piercing his heart in rows.
King Qin stood up straight. On his left shoulder, there was a wound left after his fight with Yue Pengju.
"Little girl, are you saying that you will never be able to return to your father's side again in this lifetime?"
"Yes!" Even if Pengju wasn't there, I would absolutely not marry you. What's more, I am already married to Pengju, and I am already his wife. King Qin, what's strong is not sweet, please let me go, and also let yourself go! There are so many great women in the world, don't miss me! "
King Qin let out a bitter laugh, and suddenly took something out from his chest.
Hua Rong took a look and saw that it was indeed the paper that she had written for him on the island all those years ago.
King Qin opened the paper and looked carefully. On the yellowing paper, two names, Qin Shangcheng and Hua Rong, stood side by side.
All along, he had treated it as a marriage contract.
Countless midnight dreams of waking up from nightmares or dreams, and seeing this piece of paper, always firmly reminded himself that the girl must still be alive in the world! He would definitely be able to find her.
She hadn't thought that after so many hardships, she would really find it. However, she had already married someone else.
Hua Rong said in a cold voice, "King Qin, you can go back now. "From now on, don't ever look for me again, and don't ever think about me again."
King Qin turned and stared at her.
Hua Rong suddenly turned her head, not daring to meet his gaze.
Yue Pengju held her hand tightly and looked at King Qin. "King Qin, you can go back now! Hua Rong, it has nothing to do with you! "
King Qin did not even look at him, as he stared straight at Hua Rong, "How can a man without a wife! "Little girl, from now on, your father has nothing to do with you!"
Hua Rong turned around, only to see King Qin holding a piece of paper and tearing the letter with their names written on it in half, "Your father has cut off all ties with you, when we meet again in the future, I swear that I will be written like this."
The King Qin did not even look at the two as he laughed and turned to leave.
Only after running seven or eight kilometers away did he open his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. He howled like a desperate wild wolf, "Girl, I will never forgive you again!"
Hua Rong stood where she was, looking at the sunset in the west, then lowering her head to look at the trampled and deformed purple flowers. She didn't know what to feel in her heart.
"Elder sister …" "Elder sister …"
Yue Pengju called out to her a few times, only then did she come back to his senses.
Yue Pengju gently embraced her and said gently, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. We'll be leaving soon. "
Her eyes lit up and she choked, "In the future, we will all be together. We will never be able to separate again."
"Yes, we are already husband and wife. Naturally, we will not be separated. Elder sister, didn't they say that marrying a chicken will be the same as marrying a dog? "Hehe, since you've married me, you'll naturally follow me."
Her tears turned into smiles, and only now did her heart feel completely at ease.
Not long after the emperor ascended the throne, Huang Qianshan suggested that the emperor "tour the southeast", which was also known as the Dingdu Yangzhou. To patrol the Yangzhou meant that the open seal had officially given up. From then on, the territory of the Song Kingdom was even narrower. Because Zong Ze was against it, so he decided to drop the matter. Zhao Deji then ordered all the troops who were here to protect the emperor to temporarily stay in the Ying Tian to protect the safety of the imperial family.
When Yue Pengju and Hua Rong heard the news, they were extremely shocked. The emperor did not think of taking back the lost land, and did not send anyone to fight Jin Wushu.
However, Yue Pengju was currently not promoted, and thus did not have the qualifications to bear witness to his Heaven's Face. Furthermore, ever since Hua Rong had rejected the marriage, he had never seen the Emperor.
As a woman, it was even more inconvenient for Hua Rong to casually enter and exit the palace. Moreover, she was not willing to enter that frightening palace gate again. However, Yue Pengju received strict orders to guard "The Imperial Palace" and protect the Imperial Family's safety. For this reason, he had to prepare the "Guard Room" that was allocated to him 12 hours a day, and could not leave it. As time passed, he did not even manage to see Hua Rong once.
The two of them were both in the Ying Tian, but they had truly experienced what it meant to be "as distant as the heavens". Yue Pengju felt extremely helpless, and could only send Yang Zaixing to visit Hua Rong from time to time to ensure her safety.
On this day, Kanggong and Xu Caizhi came to Hua Rong's place. They were very happy when they saw that Yue Pengju was not around.
Hua Rong saw that he had a strange smile and asked anxiously: What business do you have with Peng Quan?
Kanggong did not answer, she turned to Xu Caizhi again: "Master Xu?"
Xu Caizhi did not reply, and only laughed bitterly before leaving.
Hua Rong's heart was even more unsettled, she could only watch the two of them leave.
Once they were out, the two of them split up. Kanggong returned to the palace to report, while Xu Caizhi went to the army camp to look for Yue Pengju.
Yue Pengju was currently on duty and was very surprised to see him here. He took out a jar of wine and said, "Pengju, let's drink tonight."
"About this, I have a task to guard."
"Why not just drink some wine and say a few words?"
Yue Pengju gave some instructions and followed him into a room to sit.
Xu Caizhi poured two full cups of wine, "Pengju, we can be considered old friends. Let's drink a cup first."
Yue Pengju was not good with wine, after drinking this cup, he did not drink anymore, but said: "Why is Master Xu here?"
Xu Caizhi put down his wine cup and laughed bitterly, "Pengju, to be honest, the Emperor Shangguan Family has long since fallen for Hua Rong and has already made preparations for Consort Ji."
Yue Pengju had already guessed his intentions for coming here, and decisively said: "Hua Rong and I have long been married!"
"You rescinded the marriage of Princess Wan Wan, insulted the imperial family, and now you have reneged on your promise, you are committing treason to the Sovereign."
"This lowly general knows his wrongs. Even if I have committed an extreme crime, I will not change my mind in the slightest."
Xu Caizhi had originally used the Emperor's hint to persuade Yue Pengju to give up on his own accord, and said. As a man who had made a name for himself, why should he not worry about beauties? Why would you give up your great future for a woman? As long as you give up on Hua Rong, according to your military merits, you can immediately rise to a fourth rank official. "
Yue Pengju did not wait for him to finish, and immediately interrupted him: "Master Xu does not need to speak anymore, no matter how weak this humble general is, I will not exchange my wife for wealth and glory …"
He had known the two for many years, and knew their natures. Hearing Yue Pengju's words, he felt ashamed, and poured himself a large cup of wine, downed it in one gulp, then sighed: "Pengju, I can't help you, you better take care of yourself."
"Thank you, Master Xu."
"You have to be careful in everything you do. Pengju, even if you don't care about yourself, you still have to care about your sister's safety."
Yue Pengju's heart trembled, "This general will take care of it."
Ying Tian Palace.
Yesterday's Ninth Prince, today's Emperor's Shangguan Family, Zhao Deji, officially took over this place.
That evening, Zhao Deji had just finished preparing a set of memorials, and when he raised his head, he saw Kanggong rushing in.
"Your Majesty, this servant has already visited the Miss Hua's residence several times. Every time, Yue Pengju was not there."
"Very good."
"What did Yue Pengju say?"
Xu Caizhi didn't dare to not answer and only braced himself. "Yue Pengju and Hua Rong have long been married, it's really …"
Zhao Deji shouted in fury, "He is just a lowly general, how dare he insult your highness in public again and again?"
"Please calm your anger, Your Majesty." "As I see it …"
"What is it?"
Xu Caizhi mustered up his courage: "In my humble opinion, now is the time to use others. Why not Shangguan Family help Yue Pengju and Hua Rong?
Zhao Deji was upset, he had thought of this before, but after becoming the new ruler, to be able to experience the joy of being able to control life and death, to be challenged like this, how could he be willing to let it go?
"Let's put this matter aside for now. All of you can leave for now."
"Yes."
Seeing that he was distracted, the Kanggong took the lead and said: "Shangguan Family, Yue Pengju listens to Zong Ze the most. Zong Ze is his teacher, and now that Zong Ze is here, why not let him give it a try?"
Zhao Deji was furious: "This slave does not look down upon you."
Kanggong immediately realized he said the wrong thing and kneeled down. Zhao Deji had always been somewhat fearful of Zong Ze, but now that he had ascended the throne, he was forced to step in and "persuade" Yue Pengju to give up his wife. Thus, not only could he not allow Zong Ze to persuade him, he even more so could not let Zong Ze find out about the rumors. Kanggong had always been aware of His Majesty's intentions, but this time, he was anxious to make a meritorious service.
"Useless lackey, don't leak the slightest bit of information."
"This servant knows."
"Get out."
Kanggong and the rest quickly retreated.
Zhao Deji walked out of the study and saw Wu Jinnu standing at the door.
He secretly hated Wu Jinnu for her incompetence. If he had set an order first, how could Yue Pengju have the chance to publicly declare that he and Hua Rong had already become husband and wife? He didn't really like Wu Jinnu to begin with, but now, he felt even more disgusted. He looked at her for a bit before turning around to leave.
These few days, Shangguan Family was at Zhang Yingying's place every single day. Seeing that she was gradually falling into the cold palace's danger, she thought of a plan to save the situation.
Seeing that she had been following him from the start, Zhao Deji felt disgusted and asked coldly: What do you want?
"Seeing that Shangguan Family has been working hard all day, chenqie prepared a table of wine and invited him to have a drink."
"No need, I'm going to Pan Fei's."
Just as he was about to leave, he saw a beautiful woman wearing a light veil. Under the gradually descending night, her beauty seemed as ethereal as a fairy.
"This is?"
"Liu Yuezhu. She is also the younger sister of the personal guard and the ruler of Liu Zhengyan. "
Liu Yuezhu and Zhang Yingying had come together, but they were not from the same faction. Ever since they had arrived, Zhao Deji had not noticed her.
The personal guard led Liu Zhengyan and was sent by Ying Tian Palace Yin after Zhao Deji came to the Ying Tian. However, Zhao Deji had always trusted Xu Caizhi, Wu Zhan and the others, so he did not place much importance on Liu Zhengyan.
Now, it was because of her sister Liu Yuezhu that he thought of such a person. With a "Oh", he saw that Liu Yuezhu's eyes were flowing, her waist was soft, and although her beauty was inferior to Zhang Yingying's, she had a unique beauty unique to a virgin. Wu Jinnu observed the situation and replied respectfully: "Shangguan Family, please."
Zhao Deji followed the two into the cave and sat down. Wu Jinnu tactfully sat at the side and snuggled up to him.
Zhao Deji embraced her and drank a few cups of wine. His entire body became hot as he stared at Liu Yuezhu's beautiful face and sighed.
Wu Jinnu knew that he could not forget about "her", and laughed: "Shangguan Family, is Little Sister Liu not good enough?"
"Good indeed, but in the end, it's still difficult to get used to."
"Actually, 'she' was not as good as Shangguan Family had imagined …"
Zhao Deji saw that she wanted to say something, but hesitated, and said angrily: "What do you want to say?"
