late night song

Chapter 252
Gu Yuchu received the order from Xun Ying, but she stayed at home and did not contact any outsiders. If Xun Ying made any changes in Yunjing, Beiling's embroidered messengers would deal with it, and it was really not her turn to worry about it.

Although she had drawn a clear line with Sunda Ying a long time ago, she could not completely let go of the life-and-death relationship in the past, so she had to and could only remain neutral, so she did not mention this matter to Ling Buhuo.

What's more, the market is now full of speculations and rumors about the marriage between Prince Jingchuan and Princess Helan. She accepted the glass pendant for Ling Buhuo and got herself into a quarrel. She couldn't go out for a walk openly and cause trouble again.

Nuo Da's greetings were passed over and over again, but they were all rejected by Ling Buhuo. She knew in her heart that although Nuo Da was not the frame, the man still kept it secret, so she was not angry about it, but she would not realize it. Guess Tatsumi's actions.

In order to divert her attention, she lazily made some snacks in her home school to pass the time.Ling Buhuo didn't know Xunying's movements for the time being, and was surprised by her intentions. He ate them all regardless of the taste, and refused to leave any of them to Shu Yuan.

The Jingchuan Prince's Mansion was warm and cozy, but in contrast, the Prince's Mansion was so chaotic that it was almost demolished by Shan Mingxi.

She was shocked by Princess Helan and Ji He's grand preparations for the dowry. Nuoda quietly ordered someone to tell her that the Prince's Palace was behind it, so she was furious and came to settle the score with Ling Ziyu.

But after losing his temper several times, Ling Ziyu tolerated and accommodated her, but he did not promise not to interfere in this marriage that had nothing to do with him.

Although Shan Mingxi felt confident because of how special Ling Ziyu treated her, the more Ling Ziyu refused to get angry with her, the more she worried that things would turn against each other.

The relationship between their brothers was already in jeopardy. If Ling Ziyu, a perverse man, made a desperate move and vented all his pent-up dissatisfaction on Ling Buhuo, then she would be the last straw that broke their relationship as compatriots.

She knew Ling Buhuo too well. Even if he ignored the consequences of this stupid marriage, he would flatly reject it. Resistance and disrespect was a serious crime of treason. If Ling Ziyu didn't need to use his brains, the Jingchuan Palace would probably be doomed. If the two legitimate sons fought openly, If she gets up, Yunjing and even the whole of Beiling will definitely be in chaos, then her sin is really irredeemable!

So after a few days of messing around, Shan Mingxi changed her domineering behavior and adopted both soft and hard tactics. Half threatening and half coquettish, she gave Ling Ziyu an ultimatum. If the marriage at Princess Helan Mansion was completed, then the engagement between the two of them would be over. Give it up, we will have no contact with each other from now on until death!
How could Ling Ziyu not understand Shan Mingxi's plan? She didn't care, but he was sincere!
Although in the long run, Ling Buhuo's marriage was a great opportunity for him to pull out all the stops, he couldn't refuse the coercion and inducement offered by his beloved, so he casually mentioned a few conditions that Shan Mingxi would never agree to. , if she was willing to nod, he would immediately ask Princess Helan's Mansion to cancel the engagement.

"What conditions?" Shan Mingxi's almond-shaped eyes widened. Although she was already sure in her heart that she would agree to anything, she deliberately pretended to be hesitant in order to appear that she was not so impatient.

"Within three days, you can do whatever I want. If you get angry or give up in the middle, the agreement will be void." Ling Ziyu smiled evilly when he saw her take the bait.

"You don't have any bad intentions towards me, do you?" Shan Mingxi pointed at his nose and asked.

"Are you afraid?" Ling Ziyu refused to explain, his smile became even thicker, and then he deliberately said excitedly, "Forget it if you are afraid."

Shan Mingxi simply refused to admit defeat, so when she saw what he said, she naturally agreed.

For the next three days, she patiently accompanied Ling Ziyu in handling official duties during the day, serving him tea and water, admiring flowers and fishing at night and playing the harp to the moon with him. She took the time to practice martial arts and keep fit.

With the beauty at his side, Ling Ziyu's unhappiness receded for the most part. After the last polo scene, in front of Shan Mingxi, he called Ji Huan, told him his decision, and asked him to tell He Lan Princess, you must submit a letter of annulment within seven days.

Shan Mingxi was surprised that Ling Ziyu was upright and cheerful, and her impression of him had changed a lot without knowing it.

Princess Helan was shocked when she heard the news from her son. You must know that she had just made up her mind to fulfill her daughter's wish!
In the past few days, she has reconsidered the current situation. Ziyan Palace's attitude is ambiguous. This marriage has become a competition between the Prince's Palace and Jingchuan Palace. In this case, Princess Helan Palace will inevitably offend. One.

Therefore, it is better to let Ji He marry into the Jingchuan Prince's Palace, which not only complies with the prince's wishes, but also gets married to the Jingchuan Prince's Palace. Even if the Jingchuan Prince is not happy, he will not really go to the point of disobeying the imperial order.

Even if Ling Buhuo really refused to give in, I'm afraid he would have lost the king's heart, and there would be no hope of inheriting the throne. If Prince Ling's goal was achieved, it would not be too late for her to submit the divorce document.

When the time comes, Ziyan Palace will definitely feel guilty for the injustice suffered by Princess Helan Mansion in order to take care of the overall situation, and it is not impossible that it may be greatly comforted. Then this dilemma will be clear.

But now, the prince's renegade, coupled with her promise to King Jingchuan, seems to have resolved the dead end, but the rumors that have been fermenting in the market for many days are enough to make her unable to get off.

Although it would be beneficial and harmless to Princess Helan's palace to break off the engagement, it would be an admission that neither mother nor son would be happy. The most secret scar in her heart has been revealed, so how can she face it calmly?

Although her surname is Ling, this world has nothing to do with her, and she cannot afford to offend.

Angrily and helpless, she suddenly remembered that when she went to Jingchuan Mansion that day, Ling Buhuo promised her that she would personally untie Ji He's knot. If there was a way to get Ling Buhuo to come to the house, she would then release the news that the divorce document was from Jingchuan Prince's Mansion. He asked for it proactively, so the face of Princess Helan Mansion could barely be saved.

So, without any hesitation, she immediately wrote a book to Ling Buhuo, called Ji He and asked to explain it to him in person, otherwise she would not agree to break off the engagement.

Ling Buhuo was extremely resistant in his heart, and he also guessed a thing or two about Princess Helan's calculations. However, considering that Ji He was his cousin after all, after breaking off the engagement, his reputation would be damaged and he would not be able to remarry. If he continued to refuse to be spared and seek life and death, Gu Yuchu would have I don’t know how my reputation, which is riddled with holes, will be ruined again.

Since he could achieve his goal, he didn't lose much by taking a step back quietly. Therefore, he did not refuse in the end and agreed to go to the appointment in three days. However, he refused to visit the princess's residence and asked to choose another place.

Princess Helan's wishful thinking failed. After repeated weighings, she felt that as long as King Jingchuan was willing to come to the door, even if he was not in her own palace, the news that King Jingchuan would personally visit the door of Princess Helan's house to request an end of the engagement reached Ling Buhuo's ears. , he could only accept it silently, so he decided to meet at the Yuejian Manor under his name.

At the same time, in order to give Ji He an explanation, she put all the responsibilities on Shan Mingxi.

Saying that the Crown Princess was causing trouble, the Crown Prince no longer supported the marriage, and threatened her brother's future. If she refused to break off the engagement, someone would take over Ji Huan's job within ten days, and she would hide in hiding for the rest of her life. Opportunities for career.

Ji He's full hopes were suddenly shattered, and he was extremely sad.When she learned that Shan Mingxi was behind the scenes, she became even more furious, and the hatred in her heart surged uncontrollably.

But is there no other choice but to break off the engagement? !
There has never been such a useless Jiakui in ancient times. The glass fell in his hand, but he was ruthlessly rejected. In the end, he became the biggest laughing stock in the entire Beiling!

When Ji He thought of this, he was filled with despair.

But when her mother told Ling Buhuo that she was willing to meet her, hope ignited in her heart.

She must seize this last chance.

So, she secretly contacted Nuoda and asked him to prepare a pack of powerful Mongolian sweat medicine for her, and then made an appointment with Shan Mingxi the day before her appointment with Ling Buhuo.

She cried heartbreakingly, telling Shan Mingxi that she had thought clearly and clearly, and would no longer be entangled in a fruitless marriage, and invited her to have a few drinks with her to respect her feelings that had withered before they blossomed. .

Shan Mingxi was too drunk, so she felt a little guilty, so she was embarrassed to refuse. Little did she know that Ji He had already drunk a large amount of sweat medicine in the wine, and just a small cup made her fall asleep and fall unconscious. personnel.

On the day of the appointment, Ling Buhuo quietly went to Yuejian Manor without telling Gu Yuchu. In order to leave some space and face for Ji He, he did not bring Wu Cen into the garden.

When he was led into the empty polo field by the housekeeper, he became suspicious. Coincidentally, he met Ling Ziyu who was alone, which made him feel that something was wrong.

"Why are you here?" He frowned slightly.

"I still want to ask you!"

Ling Ziyu replied that Shan Mingxi sent a letter to him early in the morning and asked him to meet here. He rushed over without stopping, but accidentally bumped into his brother.He also felt that something was wrong, and was about to express his intention to come, but at this moment, there was the sound of horse hooves behind him, and Ji He, wearing a bright red wedding dress, came riding up.

The dust was flying, the sleeves of the girl in red were fluttering, and the phoenix crown and pearl hairpin on her head jingled, but there was no trace of joy on her face.Ling Buhuo frowned unconsciously, and Ling Ziyu also noticed something strange around him.

During the day, torches were lit on this polo ground. There were many scattered dead trees on the flat ground. A huge red curtain hung on the mast not far away. I don’t know what was hidden behind it. When the wind blew, it actually floated up. The smell of kerosene.

"Brother Buhu, I have something to ask you." Ji He jumped off the horse and opened the corners of his mouth. His innocent smile showed untimely fatigue. His originally fair skin was still the same, but it was no longer translucent. There were many days of dullness around his eyes. The blue-grey color that only comes from deep sleep.

"Say it." Ling Buhuo nodded, his tone calm.

"Will you marry me?"

"I don't want to." He answered very simply and clearly.

Ji He burst into tears, and then laughed crazily.

"Brother Prince, I also have something to ask you."

"What are you talking about?" Ling Ziyu also became serious, no longer in the mood of just watching the excitement.

"If sister Mingxi doesn't want to marry you, what will you do?"

"I have a way to make her willing."

"How to do it? Teach me."

Ling Ziyu was silent. He would not talk nonsense until he understood what Ji He was going to do.

"Do you not want to teach, or are you afraid that I won't be able to learn?" Ji He asked.

"Your sister Mingxi likes me." Ling Ziyu said firmly, but he felt very guilty in his heart. He was the majestic prince of the Northern Ling Kingdom. He could get wind and rain when he wanted, and he was surrounded by birds and birds, but he was alone. I can't hold this woman's heart alone.

"Ha, I like you? Brother Prince, you are as stupid as me. Sister Mingxi can tell me personally that she doesn't have you in her heart. What she likes is brother Buhuo!"

"You tricked me here just to tell me this?" Ling Ziyu said with a bitter smile, tilting his head and glancing at Ling Buhuo, who was standing calmly beside him.

"As long as I marry brother Buhuo, sister Mingxi will give up."

"So?" Ling Ziyu regained his composure and asked, "How do you want me to help you?"

"Help me write a letter against Yuchi Yuchu, a notorious, shameless and debauched abandoned woman who cannot stand in the court and is not worthy of marrying into the royal family!"

"Little cousin, although your prince brother is not a good person, he never bullies women. I can't help you." Ling Ziyu glanced at the already livid Ling Ziyu and refused.

"What if I trade sister Mingxi's life?" Ji He smiled sinisterly, not at all as cute as the young girl Mingli.Then, she waved her jade finger, and the huge red curtain behind her fell down.

Ling Buhuo and Ling Ziyu suddenly became nervous.

Behind the red curtain, there was Shan Mingxi who was unconscious. Her hands and feet were tied and hung on the mast. Her feet were covered with flammable dead branches.

Ling Ziyu rushed forward, but Ji He had already opened the fire seal and threw it in front of him. The fire oil laid out under his feet immediately started to burn. A wall of fire enveloped her and Shan Mingxi, isolating the Ling brothers. outer.

"Are you crazy?!" Ling Ziyu pointed at Ling Buhuo and yelled at her, "He doesn't want to marry you, so just go to him, what does it have to do with Mingxi!"

"I have to ask the prince brother about this." Ji He laughed ferociously and raised another fire stick in the direction of Shan Mingxi with one hand, his eyes filled with despair.

"Why did my mother force me to write a letter of divorce?"

"Okay, it's up to you whether to break off the engagement or not. Let Mingxi go first!" Ling Ziyu tried to comfort her.

"What on earth do you want to do?" Ling Buhuo couldn't bear it anymore and asked coldly.

"I want you to marry me!" Ji He cried loudly, his voice hoarse, when he saw that the man finally reacted.

"What if I insist not to marry?"

The girl seemed to have expected this answer. She smiled helplessly with tears in her eyes and took two steps back. The fire fold that fell to the ground once again ignited a wall of fire.

"Then I want sister Mingxi to be buried with her!"

"How dare you!" Ling Ziyu roared out, with terrible jealousy.

The polo ground filled with two fire walls heated up rapidly. Waves of heat waves and thick smoke hit, making Shan Mingxi wake up. She realized the current situation in a daze, but her limbs were tied tightly. No matter how she broke free, Still to no avail.

"So you threaten me with Mingxi? Or do you think Ling Ziyu has the ability to do what I want and let you get your wish?" Compared with Ling Ziyu, Ling Buhuo was terrifyingly calm. He was not afraid of Ji He's threat at all and asked instead.

"Isn't she your playmate and confidant since childhood?" Ji He panicked a little, and the hand holding the third fire fold trembled slightly.

"So what?" Ling Buhuo's light voice made Shan Mingxi, who was deep in the sea of ​​fire, feel extremely cold.

"You bastard!!!" Ling Ziyu was furious. As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed forward, and the two of them started to fight with fists and kicks.

People inside the circle are as dead as ashes, and brothers outside the circle are killing each other.

"Brother Buzuo, why are you so heartless!" Ji He obviously didn't expect Ling Buhuo to be so indifferent to Shan Mingxi. She had no intention of lighting the fire at Shan Mingxi's feet anymore and put down the fire starter in her hand. He muttered in confusion.

But at this moment, the two brothers, who were already fighting in a team, had a tacit understanding and broke through the wall of fire. Ling Buhuo took the lead in controlling Ji He, while Ling Ziyu snatched the fire folder in her hand and extinguished it.

I thought I had the situation under control, but unexpectedly, a hidden arrow was shot out, causing the dead wood under Shan Mingxi's feet to ignite instantly.
