"Calm down? I can still talk to you like this. I have already restrained my anger! Jingxue has always been filial and obedient, but she is stubborn on this matter. No matter how much I try to persuade her, she refuses to listen. Now she is even more stubborn.
Lock yourself in the palace without eating or drinking
, You want to force me to take back my sacred mandate!" The more Kangxi spoke, the angrier he became. Jun Wu joked that as an emperor, how could he go back on his promise? What's more, he said this in front of all the officials and civil and military officials of Jinke. If
How is taking it back different from being slapped in the face in public?!
Ling Ruo was also secretly surprised by Jingxue's resolute attitude. In her impression, Jingxue was a smart and almost demonic woman who could see through everything in the world. She already knew that she and Rong Yuan could not be together, and she was willing to accept her own identity.
Why is she so obsessed with the fate of the princess now?
"It's ridiculous to prefer a small seventh-grade imperial doctor instead of being the top scholar in Jinke!" Kangxi became furious when he thought of this. He liked this daughter very much, so he chose from thousands of people and waited for Jinke's imperial examination to be her daughter.
Jingxue chose a good husband, but ended up in this situation.
"Imperial Physician, haha, what a great Physician Xu. He is really good at making my daughter so obsessed that she doesn't even want her life!" Kangxi's sneer made Ling Ruo shiver all over. Jingxue is Kangxi's biological daughter, even if she does it again.
A big mistake would be made by caring about the relationship between father and daughter, but Rong Yuan was different. If Kangxi vented his anger on him, the consequences would be disastrous.
Thinking like this, without caring about whether Kangxi would be blamed, he said: "Your Majesty, all of this has nothing to do with Dr. Xu, and Dr. Xu doesn't want this to happen."
"If you don't blame him, why don't you blame me?" Kangxi's words immediately made Ling Ruo speechless. The common man was guilty of having a bi, not to mention that he had attracted the princess's heart. Whether intentional or not, Rong Yuan could not escape it.
Blame it. It's also her fault. Kangxi accidentally tried it out. It's too late to regret it.
"Come here, Xu Rongyuan is here!" While Ling Ruo was still thinking about how to deal with it, Kangxi had already sent an order to Li Dequan to summon Rongyuan to Yangxin Hall to see him.
A moment later, Rong Yuan's figure appeared in the Yangxin Hall. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Ling Ruoshi, and then he seemed to understand something. He raised his hands and saluted one by one, "Wei Chen has met the emperor and met Ling Fujin."
"Xu Rongyuan, do you know what the crime is?" Kangxi asked as soon as he came up.
Rong Yuan lowered his head and said calmly: "I don't know what crime I am guilty of, please make it clear to the emperor!"
Kangxi did not mince words with him, and said directly: "As an imperial physician, you don't want to cure diseases and save people, but you went to seduce Princess Dunke and make her disobey the holy order and refuse to marry Zhang Zhuangyuan." At this point, Kangxi smiled coldly.
"Mr. Xu, do you really want to be my son-in-law?"
How could Rong Yuan not hear the coldness in Kangxi's words? He knelt down and replied: "Wei ministers never dare to have such delusions. As for Princess Dunke..." A beautiful but always sad face flashed in his mind.
After a flash, he said in a deep voice: "Thanks to the wrong love from the princess, I can't bear it."
"So, you don't care about the princess?" The voice was still uncertain, making it difficult to guess what the holy intention was.
Rong Yuan glanced at Ling Ruo quickly, raised his head to meet Kangxi's sharp eyes and spoke out his thoughts word by word, "Wei Chen has already made up his mind not to marry for the rest of his life!"
Kangxi didn't know whether he should be angry or laugh. The majestic princess of the Tian family was not taken into the heart of this little seventh-grade imperial doctor. The glory, wealth, power and money behind the word princess were even more insignificant in his eyes.
; For a moment, he looked at this little imperial doctor with special eyes. After all, there were few people in the world who could resist such temptation without being tempted.
"Since this is the case, then you go and persuade the princess for me to get her married as scheduled. If you do it well, I will not be held responsible for anything you did before. Otherwise... you should go and stay in the northwest military camp." Yan Yan
I mean, if Rong Yuan can't persuade Jingxue to change his mind, he will be sent to a bitter and cold place on the border.
"I obey the order!" Rong Yuan got up and was about to go out when Ling Ruohu asked: "Your Majesty, can I go with you to see Princess Dunke?"
After getting Kangxi's permission, she and Rong Yuan went with the young eunuch to the place where Jingxue lived. Because Jingxue was not yet married, she lived in Yongshou Palace with her biological mother, Zhang Jia, who had been promoted to the imperial concubine.
These days, because of Jingxue's unwillingness to marry and her refusal to eat, Concubine Jing was really worried. When she heard that Kangxi asked Ling Ruo and the others to come over, she didn't bother to ask more questions and just asked someone to take her there.
Jingyixuan, that is Jingxue’s residence.
"Princess, Imperial Physician Xu and Ling Fujin are here." Outside the door, a young maid called through the door, but it was because Jingxue didn't want to see anyone.
After a while, a sickly voice came from the room, "Let them come in."
When they arrived at the house, they saw Jingxue lying on the imperial concubine's couch, staring straight at the gold and colorful patterns on the top. On the table beside her lay a piece of white paper with only a few strokes on it, and an inkstone.
The grindstone in it has dried up, I think it has been left for some time.
Hearing the footsteps, she rolled her eyes nervously, looking at the two of them and forcing out a smile, "Why did you come to see me together today?"
Ling Ruo stepped forward and held Jingxue's cold hand and said heartily: "The emperor summoned this slave. If not, this slave would not know about the princess. It's also my fault that the slave was bad and was accidentally tricked by the emperor into saying what he said.
The reason why the princess refused to marry Zhang Zhuangyuan."
"It's just a matter of time, you don't have to blame yourself." Jingxue shook her head and looked at Rong Yuan quietly, a trace of blush appeared on her pale face, and there was a hint of joy in her expression, "You are finally willing to come to see me.
?”
After a moment of silence, Rong Yuan suddenly lifted up his robe, knelt in front of the couch and said, "I have no talent and no virtue. I have received the wrong love from the princess. I really deserve it. Moreover, I have already made up my mind not to marry for the rest of my life. Please stop putting my thoughts on it."
Don’t waste it on meager ministers, let alone injure your body because of meager ministers.”
Jingxue looked at him quietly, and suddenly a drop of clear tears fell down, just on the back of Rong Yuan's hand. The unusual burning heat made Rong Yuan's hand tremble unconsciously.
"Is this what you want to say to me?" she asked. At this moment, her smile was like a flower, but her tears kept falling like broken pearls, and she couldn't stop them. From the beginning, she knew that this man did not love her, but
She couldn't let go, so she fought for her life and disobeyed Emperor Ama's wishes for the first time. She just hoped that she could get back the right to make her own decision, so that she could follow the footsteps of the one she loved.
Step by step, until one day he can accept himself.
But it turns out that everything he did was superfluous and unworthy of mention in his eyes...
