Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

Chapter 139: Don't Let Her Go (Updated) Looking at the furious emperor in horror, Ling Ruoyao blinked her clear eyes.It's just that there is a touch of disappointment and panic in those smart eyes at this moment.

After being stunned for a while, she suddenly came back to her senses, hurriedly lowered her head, and pleaded guilty: "The emperor forgives the sin. The minister's daughter-in-law didn't do it on purpose, the emperor appeases his anger!"

"Didn't it be intentional?" The emperor snorted coldly, obviously not believing what she said, "You were very resolute when you answered just now. Why? Now you know you're afraid?"

Ling Ruoyao frowned tightly, couldn't help curling her lips, and secretly slandered in her heart, why does she feel that the emperor looks like a child now?Still fighting with her.

But there was always a respectful look on his face, and even trepidation and fear.With her head lowered, she spoke again, and said in a low voice: "The emperor forgives the sin. The daughter-in-law is only impatient, so she speaks without restraint, but she doesn't want to anger the emperor, the emperor spares her life."

"Hum!" There was another cold snort, the emperor flicked his sleeves, gave her a cold sideways glance, and said coldly, "I think this is your first offence, so I won't punish you this time, but Heli and Lizhi will not punish you." Don't mention it again!"

"Your Majesty!" Ling Ruoyao panicked and hurriedly called out, "Your Majesty, please listen to my daughter-in-law's explanation!"

"Okay." The emperor became a little impatient, stretched out his hand to rub the center of his brows, and waved his hand, "I can pretend that you haven't seen me today, and go back and continue to be your fourth princess."

"Your Majesty..." Ling Ruoyao called out again, but her voice was obviously a lot softer, with deep helplessness and unwillingness.

She risked being punished, came to see the emperor, begged him for mercy, and allowed her to reconcile, but she didn't want to, she was reprimanded and refused to speak, and she was not allowed to mention the matter of reconciliation. .

Do you have to mention it again?How could she stop mentioning it?

Disappointment and loneliness enveloped her heart for a moment, she lowered her head, like an eggplant beaten by frost, and whispered: "My daughter-in-law resigns." As she spoke, she stood up staggeringly, and retreated.

Stepping out of the threshold of the imperial study, Ling Ruoyao felt dizzy for a while.The sunlight outside the house made her a little bit blindfolded, but the disappointment in her heart and the coldness around her were not something that could be warmed by the scorching sunlight.

Seeing her coming out, Caizhi rushed up to meet her, and hurriedly supported her, as if she was afraid that she would really faint to the ground.

After waiting outside the imperial study for a long time, Caizhi was worried all the time, but she couldn't hear any movement in the hall, which made her even more anxious.Seeing Ling Ruoyao come out now, she reluctantly let go of her hanging heart, but she was still worried.

"Miss, are you alright?" Caizhi asked softly, lowering her voice.

Without even looking at her, with her support, Ling Ruoyao walked slowly towards the stone steps outside the hall step by step. Her already fair face was even more pale and bloodless at this moment, and her clear eyes were at this moment It also looked very dim.

"Go back." Sputtering out a few words weakly, she raised her eyes to look at the dazzling sun above her head, curled her lips, but raised a bitter smile.

Seeing her like this, Caizhi was very worried, and the strength to support her unconsciously increased a little.

Pursing her lips tightly, Caizhi hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "Miss, does the emperor agree?"

Although judging from her reaction and expression at this time, Caizhi thought that she should already know the answer, but she couldn't believe it, and she didn't want to believe it. She really hoped that she had guessed wrong.

But in the end, it was just her self-deception.

I saw Ling Ruoyao sighed lightly, raised the corners of her lips, showed a sour smile, and said in a hoarse voice: "Stop talking about reconciliation!"

Caizhi was stunned for a moment, and opened her mouth to say something to comfort her, but in the end, she didn't even say a word.

It was only because at this moment, she didn't know what kind of words to comfort Ling Ruoyao.

"It's been a while since we entered the palace, and it's time to go back." Taking a deep breath, Ling Ruoyao tried hard to keep herself calm, and said in a clear tone.

Caizhi frowned and looked at her with concern, but in the end she could only answer in a low voice: "Yes." Lai Shengling was furious.

Two pretty figures walked side by side on the spacious stone road outside the Imperial Study Room. The dazzling sunlight shone on the two of them, coating them with a layer of golden light, but it did not shine into their hearts. .

***

In a relatively secluded courtyard in the palace, there are extremely lush trees and flowers, and the emerald green leaves cover a shadow, which is a good place to enjoy the shade.

At this time, under this lush tree, there were two figures standing.

A figure is slender and tall, tall and majestic.The crescent-white robe was gently lifted by the wind, fluttering, fluttering with the black hair on his shoulders.On the man's handsome face, there was a calm expression, calm and calm, making it impossible to guess what was going on in his heart.

Behind the man, stood a dignified and beautiful woman. The woman was dressed in a gorgeous dress, her soft hair was tied in a gorgeous bun, and she held a finely crafted hairpin, which made her look extraordinarily exquisite and charming.

The woman looked up at the stalwart man standing with his back to her, opened her mouth, hesitated and said, "Today, the fourth princess has entered the palace."

The man nodded, with a calm look on his face, without any waves.Opening his thin lips lightly, the man said in a low voice: "What's the fuss about this? Did you mention it on purpose?"

There was a light and elegant smile on the beautiful face, the woman curled her lips and said casually: "There is nothing surprising about the fourth princess entering the palace, but she found me and asked me to help her." .”

The man raised his eyebrows, and finally a curious look appeared on his face, and there was a hint of interest in his deep eyes: "Why does she want you? Do you know each other?"

Shaking her head slightly, the woman frowned her slender Liu Ye eyebrows, and said thoughtfully, "Because I don't know her well, she will be surprised when she asks me for help."

"She asked you for help? What's going on?" The man also frowned handsomely, feeling more and more puzzled and curious.

"The fourth concubine wants to reconcile with the fourth prince. Enter the palace today, find me, and let me speak a few words of kindness for her in front of the emperor, so that the emperor can approve it." The woman said calmly, with a look of disapproval on her face, "However, I did not promise her."

"Heli?" The man raised his graceful thin lips, and the playful look in his deep eyes became more and more intense, but there was a look of surprise on his handsome face, "Is this true?"

"The fourth concubine told me in person, and I dare not lie a little bit." The woman stared at the slender figure in front of her, watching his black hair brushing against the crescent-white robe.

There was a deep smile on his lips, and the man couldn't help laughing out loud, as if he had heard some funny joke, but it made the woman behind him feel a little baffled, so she couldn't help asking: " Why are you laughing?"

He stopped laughing, but there was an unconcealable smile on his face. The man waved his hand and said calmly, "It's okay. Since the fourth concubine asked you for help, why do you refuse?"

"But..." The woman was a little anxious, and hurriedly explained, "If the emperor is upset, I will be implicated too. The purpose of my entering the palace is clearer than me, isn't it?"

Nodding his head, the man said slowly: "Of course I know your purpose of entering the palace, but I also believe that you must have a way to prevent the emperor from being angry and allow him to allow the fourth concubine to reconcile."

"Master..." The woman became even more anxious, her exquisite brows knit into a ball, and she looked at him in embarrassment.

Although he couldn't see his expression, from the tone of his speech just now, the woman could still feel a firmness and majesty that could not be refuted.

With a barely audible sigh, she lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I see."

Nodding his head slightly, the man said casually: "So, I will wait for your good news."

There was a wind blowing, blowing the green leaves on the big tree, making a rustling sound.It also blows the hair and clothes of the people standing under the tree, dancing lightly.

***

Inside the Four Princes' Mansion.

In the quiet study room, Huangfu Yi was sitting behind the desk, holding a book in his hand, studying it intently, with a serious expression on his sharp and resolute face.The whole person has been integrated into the book, and everything around him seems to have nothing to do with him.

The golden sunlight shines in through the half-opened windows, casting a mottled light and shadow on the ground, adding a bit of vitality to the whole room.

The closed door creaked, breaking the tranquility of the room.A slender figure stepped in from outside the house, holding a tray in his hand, and on the tray was a carefully crafted ceramic bowl.

Holding the tray, Ye Yuan walked towards Huangfu Yi lightly, as if afraid of disturbing him.When he came to the desk, he walked to his side, picked up the ceramic bowl from the tray, and placed it on the desk.

Huangfu Yi, who was reading the book seriously, finally felt a little movement at this time.He turned his head slightly to glance at Ye Yuan beside him, and then turned his gaze to the exquisite ceramic bowl on the desk.

Seeing that he was no longer staring at the book, Ye Yuan raised the corners of his mouth and said in a low voice: "The subordinate ordered the kitchen to prepare lotus seed porridge, my lord, please try it."

Putting down the book in his hands, Huangfu Yi picked up the lotus seed porridge on the table, picked up a spoon, scooped it up and put it into his mouth, but he always felt that there was something wrong with the taste, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

After thinking for a while, he remembered that Ling Ruoyao also ordered his servants to prepare lotus seed porridge for him.He always remembered that taste, so that every time he drank lotus seed porridge in the future, he would secretly compare it with that taste.

Thinking of this, he seemed to have remembered something, looked up at Ye Yuan who was standing beside him, and asked casually, "Where is the princess now?"

Dazed for a moment, Ye Yuan seemed a little hesitant, but finally said respectfully: "Go back to the prince, the princess hasn't come back yet."

"Haven't come back yet?" Huangfu Yi was taken aback for a moment, and the hand holding the spoon also paused.He turned his head and looked out the window, only to see that the sunlight had receded quite a bit.

It's getting late, and this woman Ling Ruoyao hasn't come back yet, what did she do?

When he came back from the morning, he met her leading Caizhi out of the house. It had been a long time and she hadn't come back yet. Could it be that she wanted to run away from home again?

This time, he won't let her go easily!

Suddenly, a picture appeared in his mind. In the picture, Ling Ruoyao, with a determined expression on his face, said to him without hesitation that he would make peace with him.

His handsome brows were instantly frowned, and a layer of coldness shrouded his handsome face.He put down the porridge, stood up abruptly, and walked around the desk to go out of the study.

Confused by his sudden action, Ye Yuan looked at the lotus seed porridge on the desk, then at Huangfu Yi who was about to walk out, and hurriedly followed.

After catching up with Huangfu Yi, Ye Yuan hurriedly asked: "My lord, where are you going?"

With his hands behind his back, Huangfu Yi strode forward without even looking at Ye Yuan, and said in a low voice, "Just walking casually, you don't need to follow."

His words made Ye Yuan stunned for a moment, and the steps that were about to take out also stopped for a moment.Standing at the same spot, he just watched Huangfu Yi's tall and straight figure go further and further away in silence, his eyes looked a little complicated.

As for Huangfuyi who left the study, he walked straight towards Ling Ruoyao's yard with big strides.

He wanted to make sure if this woman Ling Ruoyao really ran away from home, or planned to run away.

Walking all the way to Ling Ruoyao's yard, through the lush green garden, a servant hurriedly came in front of Huangfu Yi, blocking his way.

"My lord, it's not good!"

Being blocked, Huangfu Yi was not happy at all, but this young man was still yelling in a panic, which made him even more irritable.Without thinking too much, he scolded in a cold voice: "Why are you so panicked? What happened?"

The servant was taken aback, but he did not forget the business, and hurriedly said: "My lord, Concubine Su fainted in the side courtyard."

Huangfu Yi didn't speak, and felt a little impatient in his heart, and there was a gloomy expression on his face as deep as a chisel.

What tricks do these two women want to do?Shutting the two of them into the side courtyard without a moment's rest really gave him a headache.

Frowning, he said in a cold voice nonchalantly: "Since you have fainted, then go to the doctor."

"I've already gone to ask for a doctor, but..." the boy said, and secretly raised his eyes to look at Huangfu Yi, "But even though Concubine Su is in a coma, she keeps calling for the prince."

Raising a handsome brow, Huangfu Yi obviously didn't believe the little servant's words.This person is in a coma, can he still call him?

Seeing that Huangfu Yi didn't speak, the young man looked at his face again, and boldly said: "My lord should go and see Concubine Su."

Huangfu Yi pondered for a moment, thinking in his heart, although these two women really gave him some headaches, but Su Yuhe's coma is not a trivial matter, he should go and have a look for now.

So, he turned around and walked towards the courtyard.As for Ling Ruoyao's place, it's okay to go there later.

Even if she really ran away from home, he would try his best to catch her back.

He went straight to the side courtyard, and before he entered the courtyard, he heard an earth-shattering wail from the room: "Yu He, wake up quickly! Don't scare my sister!"

Huangfuyi was a little dazed, obviously not frightened by this voice, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, Yao Qingru's voice was so loud.

Stepping into the yard, I saw that there was no one in the yard, but the wailing in the room did not stop for a moment.

Frowning tightly, he forced himself to ignore the wailing, walked into the room quickly, and saw Su Yuhe lying unconscious on the bed, and Yao Qingru who was standing by the bed, crying loudly.

In the room, there was an unpleasant smell coming out of his nostrils, which seemed to be the smell that no one had lived in for a long time, which made him frown involuntarily.

Counting secretly, he found that he hadn't entered the house in the side courtyard for a long, long time, at most he had only entered the courtyard.

I don't know if the house is really old, or because the two people who were punished neglected to clean it, it made the house look like it has not been lived in for a long time.

Putting away the messy thoughts in his heart, he stepped to the bedside and interrupted Yao Qingru's wail; "Okay, don't cry! It's just that you passed out, why are you crying?"

Frightened by his sudden reprimand, Yao Qingru hurriedly stopped crying.After a while, she suddenly came back to her senses, stood up quickly, and bowed to him: "My concubine greets the prince."

After waving his hands, he didn't look at Yao Qingru again, but shifted his gaze to Su Yuhe who was lying on the bed unconscious, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on here? Why did you faint suddenly?"

After he asked such a question, Yao Qingru's crying that had just stopped rang out again, but it was much smaller than before, but it still cannot be ignored.

"Sister Yuhe caught a cold two days ago, and she has a fever." Yao Qingru sobbed and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, "The concubine asked her to rest and stop working, but sister Yuhe said , the lord asked the two of us to reflect here, to learn to be self-reliant, how can we be lazy?"

Huangfu Yi never finished speaking, staring deeply at Su Yuhe on the bed.

Su Yuhe, who was lying unconscious on the bed, was dressed in plain clothes, and her beautiful face seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and her chin seemed to be sharper.But at this time, that face was stained with two touches of sickly blush, and on the smooth forehead, there were fine beads of sweat.

Leaning forward, he reached out to touch her forehead, and immediately felt a scalding warmth from her forehead.

It seems that he really has a fever.

Although this season, people will no longer feel cold, only hot and dry, but it is still possible to catch a cold and have a fever.

Su Yuhe's illness was not a feign.Huangfu Yi stared at her and thought to himself, these two people have been locked up in the courtyard for a while, and they should be allowed to leave.

And just as he was thinking secretly, a servant came in leading a doctor with a medicine box on his back.

"My lord, the doctor is here." Coming to Huangfu Yi, the servant said respectfully, and took a step back, pointing to the doctor beside him.

With a slight nod, Huangfu Yi motioned for the doctor to diagnose Su Yuhe.

Sitting on the stool beside the bed, the doctor diagnosed Su Yuhe with a serious face, and even stroked his gray beard with his hand.

After taking his pulse, he came to Huangfu Yi, and said respectfully: "The Concubine Su has a fever due to a cold, and she passed out due to fatigue. Wait for the old man to prescribe a prescription, and then she can recuperate for a while." , and it will be healed."

"In that case, there will be Doctor Lao." After nodding, Huangfu Yi ordered someone to lead the doctor out.

After the doctor left, Yao Qingru walked to the bed again, looked at Su Yuhe who was in a coma with distress, and pulled her sleeves to wipe the fine sweat oozing from her forehead. While wiping, she whispered: " Sister Yuhe, look at you, working non-stop all day, you have exhausted yourself? Why don't you take care of your body so much?"

Standing aside, Huangfu Yi had a gloomy and handsome face, with deep and narrow phoenix eyes, staring at the two people in front of him, with graceful thin lips evoking an imperceptible smile.

Yao Qingru's words were clearly meant for him.He had planned to let them out, but Yao Qingru was impatient.If it wasn't for Su Yuhe really falling ill, he would lock them up for a while longer.

"Sister Yuhe, you must get better soon." Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, Yao Qingru sobbed.

Her crying made Huangfu Yi a little impatient, even irritated. Compared with the sound of cicadas in the yard, it made him more irritated and unhappy, so he hurriedly scolded: "It's just that I fainted, and it's not like I'm dead. What are you doing crying all the time?"

After being scolded again, Yao Qingru looked a little aggrieved, sobbed twice, and muttered in a low voice: "The concubine is just worried about sister Yuhe. After the illness is cured, I will continue to work."

Yingting's brows frowned even more, and the gaze she looked at Yao Qingru became colder and displeased. Huangfu Yi suppressed the anger in his heart, so he didn't rush to teach her a lesson.

She really thought he wouldn't get angry?She thought that Su Yuhe fell ill, and he wouldn't be angry if she said whatever she wanted?

If she thinks this way, she is very wrong!

"Okay, stop talking, don't you just want to leave here?" Huangfu Yi glanced at her coldly, and said coldly, "This king will send someone to send side concubine Su back."

"Thank you, my lord!" Yao Qingru hurriedly got up and bowed.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me." Huangfu Yi glanced at her indifferently, and said in a cold voice, "I told you to leave without saying anything."

"My lord..." Yao Qingru was stunned for a moment, looking at him in surprise, apparently not believing what he said was true, "Why did my lord only let sister Yuhe leave, but not my concubine?"

"You didn't fall ill again, did you?" Huangfu Yi raised his brows and said casually, "Since you haven't fallen ill, you have to continue working."

After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room without looking at her again.Only Yao Qingru was left in a daze, with a look of resentment on his face.
