Princess Lianyue looked at Long Chenyi with tears in her eyes. She didn't expect that Long Chen would blatantly refuse the marriage in front of the emperor and everyone else, not even showing any affection or even looking at him.
One look at her made her heart hurt like a knife, and even breathing seemed to hurt.
Liancheng looked at his sister, who was shaking all over because he was holding back tears. A trace of distress flashed in his eyes. He quickly stepped forward to help Lianyue up and comforted her. In fact, he knew very well that his sister liked her.
Long Chenyi has been thinking about it for three years and has always dreamed of marrying Long Chenyi.
But he knew clearly that Long Chen would not marry his sister, but he still proposed marriage to the emperor, just to fulfill his sister's dream. If this dream could not be realized, he could also let his sister give up and stop falling in love with Long Chenyi. Although this is a bit cruel, the short-term pain is worse than the long-term pain.
Long Chen also just brought Mu Tianxue into the hall. Everyone's eyes fell on Mu Tianxue. When Mu Tianxue walked to the middle of the hall, everyone's eyes almost fell out of their sockets.
Mu Tianxue ignored all the glances directed at her, stepped forward, knelt down, and said respectfully: "Mu Tianxue, a citizen girl, comes to see the emperor."
"This...isn't this General Mu's eldest daughter?" When the queen saw Mu Tianxue, she recognized him at a glance. Not only did she recognize him, but the concubines in the harem also recognized Mu Tianxue at a glance, especially for that
The horrific birthmark impressed me deeply.
"Isn't it? Isn't this the fiancée with a ruined reputation, Mu Tianxue, whom Yun'er quit?" Concubine Lian looked at Mu Tianxue with gloating and said sarcastically.
When Concubine Xian saw Mu Tianxue, her eyes showed undisguised disgust. There were rumors in the palace that there was an extremely ugly woman next to the Sixth Prince, so she guessed that it must be Mu Tianxue. I really didn’t know.
How could the Sixth Prince fall in love with this ugly girl like Mu Tianxue?
There was a sneer at the corner of her mouth. It was impossible for the emperor to agree to Mu Tianxue being the sixth imperial concubine. I was afraid that executing her would be more than enough.
When Lian Yue saw Mu Tianxue, she was stunned. Is that face a woman's? How could it be so scary? But why, the sixth prince would rather marry such an ugly woman than marry her?
A princess is a concubine. Could it be that she is worse than an ugly princess whose engagement was annulled?
Liancheng's blue eyes were filled with surprise. When he saw her at Prince Chen's Mansion yesterday, she had her face covered so that her appearance could not be seen. It turned out that the reason why she was covered was because of the terrifying birthmark.
"Are you the legitimate daughter of General Mu? The one who made people all over the city talk happily, the legitimate daughter of the general's palace?" The emperor's sharp eyes examined Mu Tianxue who was kneeling on the ground.
"If you tell me back to the emperor, the daughter of the common people is the legitimate daughter of General Mu, Mu Tianxue." Mu Tianxue replied respectfully. It's not that she couldn't understand the meaning of the emperor's words. People all over the city talked about her indifferently.
The emperor did not say anything about her affair with the servants and other things that ruined her reputation.
The emperor suppressed the anger in his heart. How could such an ugly and unclean woman be a concubine? The royal family must not be humiliated because of this ugly girl, causing the royal family to lose face and the people to laugh. He glared at Long
Chen Yi said coldly: "She is the princess you chose? Do you know some of her legendary deeds?"
Long Chen also replied categorically: "Back to my father, it is true that Mu Tianxue is the imperial concubine chosen by Erchen. As for those legendary deeds, I have investigated clearly and they are all fabricated. Please take back my father's orders."
, I have already chosen Mu Tianxue and cannot marry Princess Lianyue."
"What if I don't take back my life?" The emperor said without any emotion. Even if he loved the sixth prince no matter how much he loved him, he would not allow the sixth prince to marry whoever he wanted, or to marry whoever he wanted.
Long Chen also looked at the emperor above the main hall and said firmly: "Father, my son will not marry Mu Tianxue. If I must let my son marry Princess Lianyue, I am afraid that it will harm Princess Lianyue. Why don't I ask my father to marry me?"
The Emperor thinks twice, and Princess Lianyue please think twice."
After Long Chenyi said the last words, he looked coldly at Princess Lianyue who was standing aside, and pressed forward step by step, saying coldly: "Princess Lianyue, this prince is asking you, if you marry me, will your life be killed?"
, you marry, or you don’t marry.”
"Presumptuous" the emperor roared angrily, pointed at Long Chenyi, and said angrily: "Sixth prince, you are threatening me."
When everyone saw the Emperor Long Yan was furious, they all left their seats in horror, knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "Please calm down, Your Majesty."
"I don't dare. If my father insists on letting me marry Princess Lianyue, I will respect it. However, I can't guarantee that the Princess Lianyue I marry will not be a corpse."
After Princess Lianyue heard the words, she was so frightened that her body trembled, she staggered back a few steps and seemed to have fallen. Tears suddenly burst out of her eyes. She looked at Long Chen in a daze and was so heartbroken that she couldn't speak for a long time. Finally, she turned her gaze
It fell on Mu Tianxue who was kneeling on the ground.
She didn't understand how she was inferior to the ugly girl in front of her. In terms of identity and appearance, how did she lose to Mu Tianxue? Why did Long Chen even say such cruel words in order to marry her.
When Long Chenyi said these words, not only everyone in the hall was shocked, but also the kneeling Mu Tianxue was shocked. This was openly confronting the emperor, and the consequences would kill Long Chenyi.
And Long Chen also clearly made a bet with the life of Princess Lianyue. This princess was the princess of Lianyun Kingdom. If the princess of Lianyun Kingdom died in the dynasty, it would definitely cause a disaster and the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. What the Sixth Prince means is that he is away from home all year round and his life is all about fighting and killing. If Princess Lianyue follows him, I'm afraid she will have to live like that."
Living on the edge of a knife, the Sixth Prince must be afraid that Princess Lianyue will suffer. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Concubine Lan looked at the emperor and finished speaking in horror. She quickly pulled the corner of Long Chenyi's clothes and said, "Yi'er, tell your father quickly that you have no other intentions. Hurry up."
Long Chen was also fearless and said in that firm tone: "Father, please be angry. Princess Lianyue is a rich man. If something unexpected happens to her at any time, wouldn't she be harmed?
At that time, I asked my father to think twice about finding Princess Lianyue and returning it to Lianyun Kingdom."
"Come here, lock up the Sixth Prince." The emperor roared, and when he burst into anger, everyone on the kneeling sighed. Everyone's body began to tremble, and no one dared to breathe loudly.
Mu Tianxue felt a throbbing pain in her heart. Long Chen also disobeyed the emperor and disobeyed the emperor's orders because of her. He was afraid that he would not be executed, but would suffer some pain and be locked up under house arrest.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Lian Yue also thinks that what the Sixth Prince said is absolutely true. The Sixth Prince is a man who travels around the world. If Lian Yue marries him, he will probably live a life of fear. It is Lian Yue's failure to consider it before.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty, and spare the Sixth Prince."
Seeing that the emperor wanted to punish Long Chenyi, Lian Yue quickly knelt down to plead for Long Chenyi. If the sixth prince was put in danger because of her marrying him, then she would rather not marry him. Maybe she could still
Keep the dream of admiring him in her heart. Dreams are always better than reality. Why should she break that beautiful dream and make everything empty?
After the emperor gave the order, several guards came in from outside the main hall. Long Chen did not resist. He stepped forward and pulled Mu Tianxue up and said: "If you want to be imprisoned, my son must also be imprisoned with Tianxue."
After Long Chenyi finished speaking, he pulled Mu Tianxue and left with the guards.
