The princess does not have a bridal chamber

Chapter 197

"I don't agree!" Shangguan Chen stood up and said angrily.

Not caring about General Peng anymore, he strode to the middle and pulled out Hua Rongrong's hand: "Hua Rongrong, do you dare to say it again?"

Said, staring straight into Hua Rongrong's eyes, furious: "Even if you are put in the kitchen to be a cook for the rest of your life, you must stay in the mansion, and you must be my concubine!"

Shangguan Chen's words chilled Huarongrong even more. Seeing the anger in Shangguanchen's eyes, he gently pushed Shangguanchen's hand away: "Since the lord doesn't like Rongrong, why bother, Rongrong has always been self-aware, and now he is asking the emperor to If you decide to change the title of this princess, wouldn't everyone be happy?"

Everyone in the hall became a foil, watching the two arguing in the middle of the hall, but no one dared to step forward to stop it. There was originally a dance choreographed by the concubine behind, but it was also forced to stop. The entire banquet The nature of everything has changed, and everyone is paying attention to the two people who are arguing.

"Okay, brother and sister-in-law, don't quarrel anymore." Shangguanyu sat leisurely on the imperial chair, watching the two quarrel getting more and more fierce, and then said slowly.

It was only then that Shangguanchen suppressed the anger in his heart, and looked at Huarongrong unwillingly. He never thought that this woman would be so cruel, and she would give up on herself so easily.

"Brother Huang, everyone says that a little farewell is better than a newlywed. It would be better if you and your sister-in-law are separated temporarily. It happens that our border has been repeatedly attacked. I am planning to ask Brother Huang to help. I must have Brother Huang guarding over there. You will be safe forever!" Shangguan Yu said with a smile.

Hua Rongrong's heart trembled, and then she was stunned. It turned out that Shangguan Chen's annoyance yesterday had something to do with the emperor asking him to guard the border.

At this time, the emperor said it again in front of all the ministers, and Shangguanchen couldn't refuse no matter what.

Huarongrong couldn't help looking up at Shangguanyu, and saw that handsome young man was still sitting on the dragon chair with a smile on his face, looking at Shangguanchen as if nothing had happened, waiting patiently for his answer.

Shangguan Chen took a deep breath, tried hard to restrain his temper, and managed to maintain a calm face. Yesterday the emperor asked him to talk about this matter, and he had clearly rejected it. Now the emperor brought it up again, and in front of so many people , clearly meant not to give him a chance to refuse.

"My minister takes orders." After a long time, Shangguan Chen knelt on the ground slowly and said with fists clasped.

Hua Rongrong didn't expect the matter to come to this point, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart. She naturally knew how much this matter would affect Shangguan Chen.

The two sat down immediately, and the banquet continued. The turmoil passed like this, and the hall immediately returned to the state of singing and dancing, as if what happened just now was an illusion, and people put smiles on their faces again.

Huarongrong turned her head to look at Shangguanchen who was sitting on the side in a muffled voice, and the previous anger disappeared immediately.

His dark eyes couldn't see the bottom at a glance, and his stern expression made it impossible to guess what he was thinking at this time.

Hua Rongrong couldn't help feeling a little regret for her behavior just now, but when she thought of Shangguan Chen's merciless slap, her heart that had just loosened became hard again.

For the rest of the time, both Huarongrong and Shangguanchen couldn't eat. Finally, when the banquet was over, Shangguanchen immediately stood up, grabbed Huarongrong's hand domineeringly, and said, "Rongrong, come with me!" Go back to the house."

"Take it easy, you're hurting me." Hua Rongrong raised her head, pulled her hand back a little distantly, and said softly.

"Rongrong, can we talk about it when we go back home?" Shangguanchen grabbed Huarongrong's wrist again, this time the movement was obviously much softer, a gleam of light flashed in his dark eyes, and his tone actually contained a hint of pleading.

Hua Rongrong couldn't figure out what Shangguan Chen meant for a while, and looked carefully into Shangguan Chen's eyes: "What kind of person are you?"

The familiar feeling of heartache hit her heart again, making Hua Rongrong feel inexplicable sadness in her heart.

"My lord, if you still have a little affection for me, please give me some time. My mind is in a mess right now and I need to be quiet." Hua Rongrong gently pushed Shangguan Chen's hand away again, and said distantly.

"Yeah, Brother Huang, I have to say to you, Sister-in-law Huang is also a princess after all, how can she be allowed to do such a lowly job as a cook." Shangguan Yu appeared behind Hua Rongrong at some point, and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this is a subject's family matter, so it is inconvenient for the Emperor to ask too much." The tenderness that had appeared on Shangguan Chen's face disappeared without a trace with the appearance of Shangguan Yu.

"Hehe, don't think too much, brother. I just care about the following brother. Since the relationship between the emperor's wife and the emperor's brother is so different, the emperor's brother will go out to guard the border. It's better not to let the emperor's wife accompany you. It happens that the queen is pregnant during this time." It would be great if the wife of the emperor could stay in the palace and chat with the queen to relieve boredom." Shangguanyu still had that innocent smile on his face, which made people believe him involuntarily.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hua Rongrong saluted Shangguan Yu and thanked her.

Then she turned to look at Shangguanchen: "I really need to be alone for a while."

"It's better not to bother the emperor, my concubine, I will solve it by myself." Shangguan Chen said coldly, his tone was extremely firm, and there was no room for negotiation.

Even if Huarongrong really didn't understand herself, she couldn't let her fall into Shangguanyu's hands.

"Since that's the case, then I won't force it." The smile on Shangguan Yu's face did not change at all, she looked at Shangguan Chen and said with a smile.

"The battle at the border is tight, and I hope that the emperor will hurry up and reach the border as soon as possible to relieve the country's worries."

He was forcibly dragged into the carriage by Shangguanchen, and he didn't let go of Huarongrong's hand until after the palace was removed.

"Hiss..." Hua Rongrong gasped suddenly, her wrist felt burning pain.

He opened his sleeves and saw two blood marks on his wrists, silently announcing Shangguan Chen's rudeness just now.

"Rong Rong... I'm sorry." Shangguan Chen's eyes darkened, and a trace of pity flashed across his face, but the light in the carriage was rather dim, and Hua Rongrong didn't see it.

"The situation is rather chaotic, so I hit you... as a last resort." Shangguan Chen whispered with deep remorse in his voice.

"Is the throne that important?" Sitting opposite Shangguanchen, Hua Rongrong's eyes gradually opened up, as if she was melting into the endless darkness, and the atmosphere was indescribably oppressive.

"It doesn't matter, but if I don't fight for the throne, I won't be able to protect my beloved. Shangguanyu will find all kinds of excuses to suppress me. With his character, he can't tolerate the existence of a person who may compete with him for the throne at any time. "Shangguanchen lowered his voice even more, and said, his eyes fell on Huarongrong's injured wrist.

Under the gloomy light, the scarlet blood marks looked black. For some reason, this scene was somewhat familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.

"I just want to live a peaceful life, and I don't want to be involved in all kinds of disputes, and I hope the prince will be successful." Hua Rongrong said with a dull heart.

"Rongrong, I've already explained it to you, do you still want to leave me?" Shangguan Chen suddenly turned his head, his dark eyes glistening in the darkness, staring straight at Hua Rongrong, and asked in a deep voice .

Hua Rongrong was very uncomfortable being stared at, lowered her head, and said cruelly: "I just want to be alone for a while, too many things have happened recently, I am really tired."

"Since you have already made up your mind, I don't want to force you, but you have to promise me that you will take good care of yourself during the days when I guard the border, and never enter the palace and be controlled by Shangguan Yu." Shangguan Chen Raising his hand, he gently caressed Huarong's beautiful face, and said.

"Okay, I promise you, I will not enter the palace, nor will I stay in the palace." Huarongrong's whole body shook, and the gentle touch made Huarongrong feel mixed feelings.

How could I fall in love with such a complicated man as Shangguanchen? When he is gentle, he can confuse people so much that he can't refuse, and when he hurts people, he can also make people fall from heaven to the bottom in an instant.

"Does it still hurt?" Shangguan Chen asked as he gently massaged Hua Rongrong's slapped face.

Hua Rongrong shook her head: "My face doesn't hurt, but my heart hurts."

The back door of the palace.

A deep voice sounded in the darkness: "The third prince is guarding the border. The emperor hopes that you can accompany the prince, and he does not want the prince to appear on the border."

"The emperor means that you want me to kill the prince on the way?" Concubine Li was a little surprised, and her voice sounded in the darkness.

"General Peng and the prince's actions are becoming more and more frequent. The emperor can't wait, so he has to strike earlier." The deep voice said again.

"However, there are guards all around on the road, how can I do it without help as a woman?" Li Fei asked.

"Don't worry, the emperor has secretly assigned you ten slain soldiers for you to dispatch on the road. When the time is right and the guards relax, you can just give me an order." The man smiled in a low voice and said.

"Well, as long as the prince dies, the emperor will bring me into the harem, right?" Concubine Li was still a little worried, and asked again.

"That's natural. The empress is aware of your empress's intentions and low position. It's just because of the prince that she didn't take any action. As long as the prince dies, you can enter the palace and be taken care of by the emperor." The bass said with a smile .

Then she was afraid that Concubine Li would not believe it, and added: "Our Ziyue Kingdom has had this rule since ancient times. The emperor helps the prince to take care of the widow. What is there for the empress to worry about?"

"Who is it?" Suddenly a female voice sounded not far away.

The black figure then disappeared into the darkness with a whoosh.

The passing maid raised the lantern in her hand tremblingly, and walked cautiously towards the place where the sound was made just now.

Concubine Li was anxious, but she didn't dare to move, for fear that if she accidentally startled the snake, she would be discovered by the maid.

"It can't be Ruyi's ghost..." the maid said to herself, then turned her head suddenly, and after finding nothing there, she patted her chest to comfort her and said, "I really scared myself, where in the world did some ghosts come from?" .”

"Whether there is a ghost, don't you know after you die?" A gloomy voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Ah!" The maid only had time to let out a scream, before the black shadow twisted her neck and broke it with a snap.

Immediately, the black shadow turned around and picked up the maid's body, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
