The emperor of Fuyang Kingdom looked extremely gloomy. From Yongping's words, he could tell that she called the man Zhiyuan brother, which meant that her title was affectionate and their relationship must be unusual.
Princess Yongping opened her mouth and wanted to say something more, but she finally closed her mouth. She knew that it would be useless to talk any more, because Zhou Zhiyuan had already arrived at the door of the main hall.
She looked at her father with pleading eyes, hoping that her father would spare Brother Zhiyuan.
When Zhou Zhiyuan came to the main hall, he knelt down on the ground boldly and freely.
"Zhiyuan next week, what happened in Yongping has nothing to do with her. It was caused by me. If the emperor wants to punish, just punish me. Don't blame her."
"No." Princess Yongping suddenly came to him and knelt down, "Father, this matter has nothing to do with him. I want to be with him. If father wants to punish, please punish your daughter. It is the daughter's fault.
"
The emperor of Fuyang Kingdom had a dark expression on his face. He looked at Zhou Zhiyuan kneeling under the hall as if he were looking at his enemy.
His daughter, the princess of a country, was given to such a nobody... How could he, as a father, accept this?
He clenched his fists and looked at Zhou Zhiyuan, and bitterly squeezed out a few words:
"You are so courageous. After all, Yongping is a princess from a foreign country. If she hadn't wanted to be like Ye Shihan's son, how could I have allowed her to come here? I didn't expect that the princess didn't make it. Now,
But it’s so unreasonable to have a child for a shameless young man like you, it’s really... it’s so irritating.”
Zhou Zhiyuan didn't know where he got the courage. He looked at the emperor of Fuyang Kingdom and said righteously:
"Although I am a nobody, I am not a shameless person. I am also a scholar after all. I also hope to get a meritorious title in this year's imperial examination. Although my status does not match Princess Yongping's, we truly love each other. I will
Give her happiness, please trust me."
His rhetoric really moved Princess Yongping to tears, but her father turned pale with anger.
He slammed the table next to him and roared, "It's so presumptuous. How can you, a foreigner and a talented person, taint my daughter? You still dare to say that you two truly love each other. I think you are deceiving her.
Now I want to ask the princess of the Eastern Jin Kingdom, do you care about what happens to my daughter in your Eastern Jin Kingdom?"
He turned his gaze to Su Muer, who nodded unequivocally, "Of course I have to take care of it, but I think since they sincerely want to be together, as a father, shouldn't you consider your daughter's feelings?
Woolen cloth?"
"There is nothing to consider. She is just impulsive. I will take her away now, but before leaving, I want to see how you deal with this kid."
While he was speaking, he pointed directly at Zhou Zhiyuan, looking at him like a sword.
Princess Yongping suddenly grabbed Zhou Zhiyuan's arm tightly and shook her head vigorously.
"No, I won't leave. I won't leave Brother Zhiyuan. If I die, I will die with him."
Her words once again angered her father, who gritted his teeth and yelled at the people around him:
"Take this shameless girl away from me."
After saying this, the four black-faced evil spirits were about to step forward. Princess Yongping suddenly took out a sharp knife from her sleeve and pointed it directly at her neck.
"Don't come over here."
This scene frightened everyone at the scene. Zhou Zhiyuan next to her was also frightened and froze. He tried to snatch the sharp knife from her hand, but she suddenly shook her head and roared,
"Don't move, don't move anyone, or I will splatter my blood here."
Her father, the emperor of Fuyang Kingdom, was frightened by this scene. Although he hated iron for not becoming steel, and although he hated his daughter for not living up to expectations, in the end, this was the daughter he had always held in his hands. How could he look at her
Did she hurt herself?
Su Mu'er was also frightened by Princess Yongping's actions. She just hanged herself yesterday, and she did it again today. It seemed that she was determined to never leave Zhou Zhiyuan.
The emperor of Fuyang Kingdom suddenly shouted with a trembling voice:
"Ping'er, don't move around. That knife doesn't have eyes. Do you want to kill a foreigner like this?"
He really hated that iron could not become steel, so his voice was a little trembling.
Princess Yongping cried out in tears,
"Father, please forgive my daughter for being unfilial. Please go back and tell your mother that your daughter has been sorry for her in this life and for your kindness in raising her. But now she has a child of her own."
Speaking of this, she lowered her head and glanced at her belly, then continued:
"A daughter cannot let the child in her belly be born without a father. It would be shameless for a daughter to go back with such a big belly to see others, so it is better to die here than to go back and embarrass her father and mother."
After saying this, the knife in her hand moved closer to her neck. Her father quickly stretched out his hand to stop her, "Ping'er, don't move."
Zhou Zhiyuan also comforted him, "Yong Ping, don't act recklessly. Put the knife down quickly. Can we talk about it if you have something to do?"
Yong Ping turned his head towards him, tears instantly fell like rain,
"Brother Zhiyuan, I will never regret getting to know you in this life. If we can't be together in this life, and I am reincarnated as a human being, I will definitely not be reincarnated into the emperor's family. We will just be a pair of country women, eating simple meals.
good."
"No." Zhou Zhiyuan suddenly swallowed more, "Yongping, you can't act recklessly, you still have our child in your belly. We have said that we want to watch him grow up and get a wife, and we also want to watch him grow up and get a wife.
You can't do stupid things to tease our grandson. What should I do if you do something to hurt yourself?"
"Brother Zhiyuan, I'm sorry. I can't fulfill my promise to be with you. We have no chance in this life. Let's continue in the next life."
As soon as she finished speaking, the sharp knife drew a blood stain on her white neck, which made everyone present break into a cold sweat.
At this time, the emperor of Fuyang Kingdom still did not relent. He would never allow the princess of Fuyang Kingdom to marry an unknown young man from a foreign country. Rather than doing this, it would be better to die, so that at least there would be an explanation to the people of the country.
Seeing that he was silent, Yongping's heart was completely in despair. She closed her eyes tightly and prepared to end her life with that sharp knife.
At this moment, Su Muer suddenly shouted:
"Yongping, put down the knife. Are you going to be a coward? Your death is an escape. How will you explain to the child in your belly when you go to another world? He has been killed by you before he can see the beauty of this world.
If you take him away, aren't you afraid that he will blame you?"
Princess Yongping's hand suddenly shook. She bit her lip and shook her head vigorously, "No, I don't want to be like this, but I have no choice. I can't go back. If I go back, I will die. They will kill my children. I have no children."
I can't live either, and I can't live without Brother Zhiyuan."
"Confused."
The emperor of Fuyang Kingdom suddenly roared angrily, "You really disappoint me. You even gave up your own father and mother for a man. You really wasted so many years of efforts that I and your mother have made for you."
"sorry."
She squeezed out these words from her throat again, "Father, I'm sorry, my daughter can't leave Brother Zhiyuan here, and her daughter can't lose the child in her belly, since she can't let him come into this world alive.
, it is better to take him out of this world together, and save him from being lonely on the road alone."
She spoke at the top of her lungs and cried heartbrokenly, and everyone present was moved by it.
Su Muer suddenly thought of her and Ye Shihan. Back then, they had made the same vow and they were together regardless of anything.
Later, she acted foolishly and left him secretly, which also led to him being found all over the world.
She suddenly regretted it now. If he hadn't gone through so much trouble to find her, maybe the result would be very different now?
Ye Shihan, where are you? Have you left me like this?
Looking at the infatuated lovers in front of her, she seemed to see herself back then.
She was so helpless back then. If Ye Shihan hadn't been by her side, she might not have been able to survive this day.
She missed him, she really missed him, it would be good even if she could see him again.
Thinking of this, she said bitterly to the emperor of Fuyang Kingdom:
"As the king of a country, I understand your feelings very well, but as a father, I think you are too cruel. Princess Yongping is pregnant now. Even if you bring her back, even if you take her belly
If the child is aborted, do you think she will still get married? Even if she wants to get married, can others still give her happiness?"
She got a little excited when she said this, and she continued:
"To put it more harshly, what are you going to do if she can't think about it and commits suicide again after returning to Fuyang? Even if she doesn't commit suicide, but she can't think about it for a moment, she goes crazy and becomes stupid, what should you do? Don't you think so?
Do you regret your coercive behavior at this time?"
Her words were like needles pricking into the heart of Emperor Fuyang. He suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly,
"Of course I understand your words best, but I am the king of a country. I am not only her father, I am also the emperor of the Fuyang Kingdom. The people of Fuyang Kingdom have always been simple and honest. There has never been a woman getting pregnant before marriage. I didn't expect this.
But it appeared in the princess of Fuyang Kingdom. How can I explain to the people of Fuyang Kingdom? So I let her go back. Even if I raise her in the palace, I will raise her for a lifetime and let her never marry. I am also right.
The people of Fuyang Kingdom have an explanation."
As soon as he said these words, Su Muer suddenly snorted coldly,
"I see. No wonder Princess Yongping doesn't want to go back. You didn't ask her to go back to protect her, but to push her to the forefront and let her face the spit and tongues of others. A father like you is really serious
It's rare, and it's even rarer for a father who doesn't want his daughter to be happy. In your eyes, you only have your status and your power. What right do you have to ask a mature man like Yongping to go back with you? She is a free individual, she can
