The emperor had calculated ahead, but he really didn't expect that Du Yiqing would temporarily let him down.
She was the one who pestered the Queen Mother about this engagement. The Queen Mother and the Empress were nagging her all the time, so she decided to grant the marriage. How could she not be willing to do so now?
"Qing'er, if I remember correctly, you begged the Queen Mother for this marriage?"
Du Yiqing nodded: "Yes, the emperor remembered it correctly!"
"Then why are you saying you don't want to at this moment? But Zeng Lanjun instigated you to say it?" The emperor looked at Zeng Lanjun and said angrily.
Du Yiqing smiled inwardly. The emperor was obviously biased, but she liked the feeling of being biased very much!
"Back to Your Majesty, Qing'er was not sensible before and thought that an imperial edict or a marriage contract could tie Master Zeng's heart. But since Qing'er woke up, many things have happened. Qing'er knows that emotional matters cannot be forced, let alone
Reluctance and coercion are not sweet. Even if Qing'er never gets married, she still has to find someone who truly loves Qing'er. She won't force herself to be with me and get married just because of an imperial edict or a marriage contract... Please forgive me, Your Majesty!
"After Du Yiqing said these words, she knelt down.
When the emperor listened to Du Yiqing's words, there was only one word in his heart to describe his feelings.
If feelings could be executed with imperial power, then he would not have only a few people in his harem today.
The emperor took another look at Shangguan Yu who was not far away. Back then, Ni Shang Yu, whom he loved deeply, passed away less than half a month after giving birth to Shangguan Yu. Since then, there has been no new concubine in the harem. How could he not know that he only wanted to
The feeling of getting to know each other.
The Queen Mother likes Du Yiqing because she is the daughter of Nan Fengqing, the Queen Mother's niece, and the reason why she loves Du Yiqing so much is because Ni Shangyu and Nan Fengqing had an excellent relationship when she was alive. She said from childhood,
The children of two people are to be married...
What was even more similar was that Ni Shangyu and Nan Fengqing both died of excessive postpartum blood loss... He loved Du Yiqing even more...
"Well, if that's really the case, Zeng Lanjun, it's me who has made things difficult for you..." The emperor's expression darkened for a moment, as if his heart was covered with a layer of dust, and the dust of his memory... He couldn't wipe it away no matter what.
Not clean.
Zeng Lanjun should have been happy to hear that the emperor meant to terminate the engagement?
But there was a voice in his heart that kept shouting, no, no...
At the same time, the emperor looked at Gu Sicheng kneeling with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
"Gu Sicheng deceived the emperor and refused to repent. He was sent to the frontier and exiled to the army with tattoos. His sister, Gu Siling, had no regard for shame and etiquette. She was demoted to a slave and sent to the frontier!" The emperor's sudden ruling made everyone take a breath of air.
Forget it, go to the border, and march to the border. The soldiers there are stationed in that inhospitable place all year round. They are so horny that they can't calm down. If you go to the border, the final result will be that they will be tortured to death!
Mrs. Gu, who was standing nearby, fell to the ground instantly.
"Your Majesty, Qing'er has something to say..." Du Yiqing scolded herself for being useless.
But that night, Mrs. Gu came to ask for medicine, which left such a deep impression on her that she couldn't ignore it...
The emperor was stunned and asked: "But the treatment was too light?"
"Your Majesty, Qing'er also asks Your Majesty to give the Gu family brothers and sisters a lighter sentence..." After Du Yiqing's words came out.
Everyone around was stunned, including Gu Sicheng and Gu Siling...as if they had never known Du Yiqing before.
