There was silence in the hall. Luo Junyao calmly looked at the man and woman kneeling in front of him, suddenly a little funny. Han wiped his tears while leaning on Jiang Guanmu's arms and looked at him timidly, with expectation and hope in his eyes.
Begging makes people feel that rejecting her is something unforgivable.
Jiang Guanmu knelt down straight, just looking down at the ground with one hand on Han's waist.
What a pair of loving lovers!
But what does this have to do with her?!
Yes, it is not illegal for a man to take a concubine in this world. Even if she is the regent princess, she is not qualified to say anything.
But that doesn’t mean she has to have the heart of adult beauty!
The Han family was born in a lowly and pitiful family, so Mrs. Yueyang Hou, who was born in a noble family, deserved to be sent home by her husband with a wife and two children without her knowledge?
Do you deserve to stay alone in your empty house for many years, work hard to take care of the family business, support the elderly, educate your children, and finally have to be ridiculed by the world? Once the imperial court makes this decree, it will definitely not be Jiang Guanmu and Han who are laughed at. It is impossible to say
Because of this contrary intention, many people still want to tout this pair of lovers as some kind of divine couple. After going through hardships, the lovers finally got married.
At that time, what will Mrs. Yueyang Hou be?
"Marquis Yueyang." Luo Junyao said coldly: "Take your people out and there is no need to talk about this matter again."
"Princess..." Jiang Guanmu raised his head in surprise, as if he didn't quite understand why Luo Junyao's reaction was so cold.
This is not a difficult task for the Princess Regent, is it?
Luo Junyao sneered and said: "I will not help you, let alone speak for you in front of the prince. If you really want to welcome her, there is only one possibility."
"Princess, please tell me." Jiang Guanmu said quickly.
Luo Junyao said: "As long as Mr. Jiang family agrees, Mrs. Yueyang Hou will personally come to propose marriage for her."
Jiang Guanmu's face changed slightly and he said nothing.
Luo Junyao immediately understood what he was thinking.
He didn't want to break up with Mrs. Yueyang Hou, nor did he want to have conflicts with the Jiang family.
After all, some people don't care about this kind of thing, but for some people it is a big deal, and the Jiang family is probably the latter.
If the regent's palace decreed a marriage, neither the elder of the Jiang family nor Mrs. Yueyang Hou would dare to say anything more.
"Princess..." Jiang Guanmu frowned. If his wife was so easy to talk to, he would not have chosen to hide it in the first place.
It is already extremely difficult for the Jiang family to accept Xi'er, let alone asking his wife to go to the regent princess in person to propose marriage?
Seeing his embarrassed look, Luo Jun said: "Maybe there is another way."
Jiang Guanmu didn't say anything. He was not a fool. He had naturally noticed that the Princess Regent disliked him.
How can we expect her to come up with good ideas?
But Han couldn't help but look at Luo Junyao.
Luo Junyao narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "You passed on the title of Marquis of Yueyang to your son, and in addition to your military achievements over the years, you asked to be demoted to a commoner. I can ask the prince to let A Che inherit the title without having to be demoted. In this way, you can
Discuss this condition with Mrs. Yueyang Hou and make peace with her. From now on, she will be her old lady of the Hou Mansion, and your family can live happily together."
The hall was quieter than before, and even Han could hear the ridicule and malice in these words.
She couldn't help but tugged on Jiang Guanmu's sleeve tightly, fearing that he would agree and also that he would reject her, she felt very tormented for a while.
After a long time, Jiang Guanmu smiled bitterly and said: "Why do you need to ridicule the general, Princess? A Che is still young, how can he support the Yueyang Marquis Mansion?"
Luo Junyao said coldly: "A'che is already ten years old. Now he is your majesty's companion, and his future prospects are limitless. As for the Yueyang Marquis' Mansion, in the past few years since Yueyang Marquis has been away, my wife has taken good care of it. Even if I go
It will decline in the next few years, and I also believe that Ache will be able to sustain it in the future. This is all I have to say, Marquis Yueyang should go back and think about it."
Jiang Guanmu stood up silently and tried to pull Han up, but Han was kneeling on the ground and refused to get up.
"Princess, please have mercy on the two children."
Mrs. Han sobbed, "I can ask for nothing, just to give me a pair of children and an identity. I know... I come from a humble background and don't deserve to ask for more. I, I... I just want my children to live upright.
What's wrong!"
"Xi'er..." Jiang Guanmu was moved and reached out to pull her up into his arms. Han fell into Jiang Guanmu's arms and burst into tears.
"Bang!" Luo Junyao finally couldn't help but raised his hand and dropped the tea cup on the table.
"Have you two made enough trouble with me?" Luo Junyao said coldly.
"Princess?!" Jiang Guanmu frowned and looked at Luo Junyao.
He couldn't understand how a woman in her teens could be so cold and heartless.
Luo Junyao looked at Mrs. Han and sneered: "You are right, and so is Mrs. Yueyang Hou. Then tell me, whose fault is it?"
Han was trembling and did not dare to speak. Jiang Guanmu blocked her behind him and said, "Princess, there is no need to force her. Everything is the general's fault."
"Okay." Luo Junyao chuckled, "Just admit it."
Luo Junyao raised his hand, pulled out the Youyue Thorn and threw it on the table next to him. He turned his head and said to Han, "Then pick up this knife."
Han trembled, "Do...what?"
Luo Jun said: "Don't you want to give your children an upright identity? Pick up the knife and kill him."
"Wha...what?" Not only Han, but Jiang Guanmu was also shocked.
Luo Junyao said: "There must be one person who made a mistake in this matter. He just admitted that it was his fault. If you do something wrong, you will have to pay the price. If you kill him, your children will be the legitimate sons and daughters of the Yueyang Marquis Mansion.
I promise that Yueyang Houfu and Ache will take good care of them."
Han looked at Luo Junyao as if he were looking at a madman, "No, no! How could the princess disregard human life?! Even if the Marquis is at fault, the crime will not lead to death. Besides, let's talk about Madam and... and A Che, if you know that Marquis
My father is dead..."
Luo Junyao said: "I will tell them that their husbands and fathers died for the country. Since Yueyang Marquis is a general, dying on the battlefield is considered a good death. Isn't it?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Han has never seen such a cruel, unreasonable and high-status person as Luo Junyao in his life, and he doesn't know how to deal with it.
After being stunned for a long time, she finally couldn't help crying.
She already regretted coming here today to beg the regent princess.
She thought that even though the princess looked a bit powerful, she was still a teenage girl with a very kind appearance. She had just been married, so girls would always be soft-hearted.
As long as the Princess Regent can have a favorable impression of their mother and son, she will have a better chance of winning and feeling more confident when she returns to Shangyong and faces Madam Yueyang Hou in the future.
Only now did she realize that this regent princess was clearly a devil without mercy.
"What's going on?" A deep voice came from outside the door. Han's cry couldn't help but stop, and Jiang Guanmu's expression also changed.
Everyone turned around and saw Xie Yan walking in quickly from outside.
Xie Yan, wearing a long black gown, was striding toward the inside from the gate outside the courtyard.
It is still summer, and even in the north the weather is not cool, but Xie Yan came in from the outside without any sweat on his face. There was just a bit of dust between his brows, and it was obvious that he had just returned from a long journey.
He is already tall and slender, and he also has an imposing aura. As soon as he steps into the originally spacious hall, people are a little breathless.
Thinking of the rumors she had heard about the regent in the past, Mrs. Han was so frightened that she shrank into Jiang Guanmu's arms, not even having the courage to look up at his face.
"The general will welcome the prince!"
"Why are you back so soon?" Luo Junyao was very surprised to see Xie Yan. She thought it would take at least more than a month for Xie Yan to come back after he went to Gaoyu.
Xie Yan smiled, walked to her side and said: "Gaoyu King's City is not that far from Jianling City, and the matter is not complicated, so it will naturally not take much time."
Luo Junyao looked at the map and found that the mausoleum was located on the northeastern edge of Yanzhou, which was indeed not too far from the royal city of Gaoyu.
But that's not what she said.
Xie Yan raised his hand and stroked her cheek gently, indicating that she would talk later.
Luo Junyao understood immediately and didn't ask any more questions.
Xie Yan pulled Luo Junyao to sit down, and his eyes fell on Mr. Han next to Jiang Guanmu. Mr. Han couldn't help but flinch.
Fortunately, Xie Yan's eyes quickly moved away, leaving her secretly relieved.
"What is this doing?"
Jiang Guanmu's heart sank slightly. Before he could speak, Luo Junyao had already explained what happened just now.
She didn't add any gas or jealousy, but she just described it truthfully, and her attitude was already clear.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Jiang Guanmu pulled Han to his knees and lowered his head to apologize.
Xie Yan looked at the two of them without speaking for a long time. He didn't know how long it took before he said indifferently: "Why do you ask to come to the princess for your own private matters?"
Jiang Guanmu lowered his head and said nothing, Xie Yan said: "You think the princess is young and soft-hearted. If she is willing to help you, Mrs. Yueyang Hou will not dare to object even if she is dissatisfied. Even if the powerful wife of Shangyong looks down on the Han family, there is a regent.
Even though the princess endorsed it, no one dared to say anything. They even said... From now on, in the eyes of outsiders, the regent princess will be the backer of the Han family."
Jiang Guanmu lowered his head in shame.
Xie Yan asked: "You should know that Jiang Che lives in the Regent's Palace. What do you think of the relationship between the princess and Jiang Che and Mrs. Yueyang Hou? If she temporarily softens her heart and agrees to you, how will she face Jiang Che and Mrs. Jiang in the future? Will it be the same in the future?
Which dignitary has a man outside and can just go to the princess and ask for help?"
"The last general..." Jiang Guanmu said with some difficulty: "The last general..." It was undeniable that he did have such an idea.
He even fantasizes that this time he and the Princess Regent will be able to defend the city together, and the Princess Regent will always be somewhat soft-hearted because of this.
Xie Yan said coldly: "Use your merits over the years in exchange for a marriage from the court? Can Ruan Ting tell me that you can use your merits over the years in exchange for a pardon?"
"I don't dare." Jiang Guanmu said quickly: "I am confused for a moment, please forgive me."
Xie Yan said solemnly: "I have no control over whether you want to take a concubine or what you do. You should handle your own private affairs. If the next time happens, I will never give you mercy."
"Yes, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Jiang Guanmu did not dare to say anything more. After thanking him decisively, he pulled Han and left.
"Go ahead."
"I will finally retire."
After leaving the courtyard, the two of them stood at the entrance of the courtyard, looking at the courtyard behind them, looking at each other, and did not speak for a long time.
"Your Majesty..." Han looked at Jiang Guanmu with tears in his eyes. Jiang Guanmu sighed softly, hugged her into his arms and whispered: "Your Majesty is right, I was confused for a moment. This is what I did.
It is no wonder that the prince and princess will be angry if they are caught in an injustice. I will take you back to the capital. Madam is a kind-hearted person. If I tell her properly, she will accept you."
Han nodded and said: "I will go back with the Marquis. Even if you kneel on the ground and beg me, I will ask for your forgiveness. As long as I can stay with the Marquis, I will do anything you ask me to do."
The two held hands and walked away slowly, and then Qin Yao'er floated out from the corner. Staring at the retreating figures of the two, she couldn't help but let out a sigh.
He touched the medicine bottle in his sleeve and stuffed it back silently.
"You'd better not use medicine indiscriminately. Not everything can be solved by poisoning." Dieying said, leaning against the corner with his sword in hand.
Qin Yaoer made a face at him, "I want you to take care of it!"
In the room, Xie Yan changed his clothes and walked out after washing. Luo Junyao had fallen asleep leaning against the window.
Not only did Xie Yan rush back from outside the customs, Luo Junyao also just came back from Yannan and met two such terrible people, and he also had no rest.
When he walked up to her and looked down at his sleeping face leaning against the window sill, Xie Yan reached out and gently brushed her reddish face, then leaned over and hugged her.
As soon as he picked her up, Luo Junyao opened his eyes.
"Huh?" When he realized it was Xie Yan, Luo Junyao took back his hand that refused and instead hooked his shoulder.
"Why don't you go to bed and sleep?" Xie Yan whispered.
Luo Junyao yawned slightly and said, "I originally wanted to talk to you for a while, but I accidentally fell asleep."
Xie Yan put her on the bed and said, "If you have anything to say, we'll talk to you when you wake up. Don't worry, Gao Yu's matter is almost settled."
"So fast?" Luo Junyao tried hard to open his eyes, but his eyes were still bleary and watery.
Xie Yan chuckled lightly and said: "Of course it won't be so fast, it's almost done. Don't worry, just go to sleep."
"Oh..." Luo Junyao nodded and slowly fell asleep.
Originally, it would be fine if she held on, but Xie Yan's voice kept telling her to sleep, sleep, which made her sleepy.
Finally I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Xie Yan watched her sink, then gently pulled a thin quilt on the bed to cover her.
Xie Yan gently brushed away the messy hair from her cheek, leaned over and placed a gentle kiss between her eyebrows.
He raised his hand and gently took off the jewelry on her head and put it on the cabinet beside the bed. Then he stood up, put down the bed curtain and turned around to go out.
Outside Duoying and Qin Yao'er were already waiting there, and when they saw Xie Yan coming out, they quickly stepped forward to salute.
Xie Yan waved his hand to signal the two of them to lower their voices, and said calmly: "Tell me, what have you been doing these days?"
