Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

Chapter 144: Finally reconciled with the Four Princes' Mansion.

In the quiet courtyard, there was no one there, only birds fluttering their wings, leaping up from the branches, slanting their bodies, and flying into the distance.

In the room with the door open, a surprised and shocked exclamation suddenly came: "Miss!" There was strong worry in the tone.

Caizhi threw herself on Ling Ruoyao's body, but she never thought that she would feel a heavy weight on her shoulders, and Ling Ruoyao leaned against her shoulders, but she had already lost consciousness.

Hurrying to help her up, Caizhi wrinkled her pretty face and hurriedly shouted: "Miss? Miss! Miss, wake up!" While speaking, she even tried to shake Ling Ruoyao twice.

However, Ling Ruoyao still didn't react at all, she lowered her head, her whole body was weak, and she let her shake her body.

She has fainted...

Seeing that she didn't respond at all, Caizhi became even more flustered and anxious.Forcing herself to calm down, she carefully supported Ling Ruoyao, let her lie on the bed, pulled the quilt over her, turned around and was about to go out of the house.

She must go and ask a doctor to come and have a look!

However, she had just taken two steps when she heard an extremely weak voice behind her: "Caizhi..."

This voice made her stop in an instant. On her pretty face, there was a look of surprise and joy, and there were even sparkling liquids in her eye sockets.

Turning around hastily, Caizhi walked to the bed in three steps at a time, knelt and sat in front of the bed, crying or laughing, choked up and said: "Miss, you finally woke up! You scared the slaves to death!" Already!"

Ling Ruoyao stretched out her hand and rubbed her head that was about to explode. On her fair and pretty face, there was a look of pain and pain, and her delicate brows unconsciously frowned.

She really fainted just now, but it was only for a short period of time. No, she regained consciousness not long after, but her head felt uncomfortable and tight.

Seeing her painful face, Caizhi leaned forward quickly, stretched out her hands to rub her temples, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, do you feel better?"

Squinting her eyes slightly, Ling Ruoyao let her rub her head, hummed from her nose, and said softly, "It's better, but I still feel uncomfortable."

After hearing what she said, Caizhi showed a nervous and worried expression on her face again, tears flickered in her eyes again, and she looked like she was about to cry: "Miss, what's wrong with you? I'd better go get a servant." Come, doctor."

After waving his hand, Ling Ruoyao said weakly, "No need, you'll be fine after a while, why bother to go to such lengths."

"But miss..." Caizhi wanted to continue talking, but Ling Ruoyao waved her hands to stop her words, and waved her hands away.

"I'm a little sleepy, I want to sleep for a while." Rubbing her head, Ling Ruoyao said in a low voice, "Go down first."

"Miss, let the slaves wait in front of you." Caizhi did not get up to leave, but suggested aloud.

Still gently rubbing her temples, Ling Ruoyao sighed and said, "I'm fine, I just want to be quiet, you don't have to worry."

Seeing her insistence, Caizhi didn't dare to say another word, so she stood up, bowed to her, turned and walked out of the room, and closed the door.

At the moment when the gate was closed, Ling Ruoyao's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, but a pair of clear eyes seemed very dim and lifeless.

Staring at the green gauze curtain above her head in a daze, she couldn't help but let out another long sigh, praying in her heart that God would take care of her and give her some good luck.

***

The sky gradually darkened, and the sunlight also reduced a lot, and it was no longer so scorching hot.In the lush green garden, you can also see the figures of people coming and going.

Ye Yuan was alone, walking in the quiet garden, along the bluestone path, walking forward leisurely, with his hands behind his back, walking, while looking around, feeling indescribably comfortable.

However, suddenly, within his line of sight, a hurried figure appeared, heading straight in his direction.

Yingting's brows were unconsciously frowned, he stopped, and when the figure was about to walk in front of him, he stretched out his hand to stop the person.

The boy who had lowered his head and trot forward in a hurry was suddenly stopped by someone. He couldn't help being startled, and subconsciously looked up. The moment he saw Ye Yuan, he couldn't help being a little surprised.

Quickly regaining his senses, the boy buried his head down again and called out in a low voice, "Young Master Ye."

Nodding his head slightly, Ye Yuan asked suspiciously, "Where are you going in such a hurry? What happened?"

Hearing his words, the young man remembered the business, and the anxious expression immediately showed on his face.Looking up at Ye Yuan, the young man said in a panic, "Master Ye, do you know where the prince is? There are people in the palace, who seem to be here to announce the decree, and are waiting for the prince to receive the decree."

The boy's words made Ye Yuan show a suspicious and dignified expression for a moment, stared at him in surprise, and asked with some doubts: "What did you say? Someone from the palace announced the decree? What imperial decree?"

"Young Master Ye is really embarrassing this slave." The boy said with a smile, "how could this slave know what the imperial decree is?"

He opened his mouth, but Ye Yuan couldn't find a suitable word to refute, so with a gloomy face, he waved his hand and sent the boy away: "Your Highness is in the study, you should hurry up and report."

After the little servant took the order, he bypassed him and walked straight towards the study, but after taking two steps, he stopped suddenly, turned around, called Ye Yuan, and said loudly: "It seems... the princess We must also accept the decree together."

On the handsome face, the expression of incomprehension became more and more intense. Ye Yuan frowned, full of doubts in his heart, and secretly guessed, what kind of imperial decree is it that even the princess must accept the decree?

Suddenly, two words popped up in his mind, which startled him.Just because, in his mind, the two words that popped up were - He Li!

During this period of time, he is quite clear about the affairs in the palace.Ever since the princess lost her child that day, she has always been extremely indifferent to the prince, and even threatened to divorce the prince.

He also heard that it was precisely because the concubine entered the palace today that she sang against the prince, which made the prince unhappy and grounded her in the yard.

He guessed that the purpose of the princess entering the palace today was to reconcile with the prince.

Now that even the imperial decree has come, his guess must be correct.

His mood suddenly became serious, and Ye Yuan pursed his thin lips tightly. Instead of speaking, he waved his hand to signal the boy to back down.

After standing there for a while, he walked straight towards the lobby in the front yard.The boy said just now that the father-in-law who came to announce the decree is waiting in the hall of the front yard.

All the way to the front courtyard hall, Ye Yuan just walked to the entrance of the hall, and saw a thin eunuch sitting in the hall, and on the tea table next to him, there was an imperial decree.

Putting away the doubts in his heart, he stepped into the hall, came in front of the eunuch, cupped his hands and said: "I don't know if my father-in-law is coming, I'm far away to welcome you."

It is not uncommon for Huangfu Yi to be accompanied by a male favorite, not only the ordinary people in the capital know about it, even the people who live in the majestic palace know about it.

Therefore, when Ye Yuan appeared in front of him, the eunuch didn't feel any surprise. Instead, he smiled calmly and said, "You're welcome. I just don't know, where are the prince and princess now?"

Ye Yuan also hooked his lips and said with a chuckle: "I have already sent someone to invite the prince, and I believe he will arrive soon."

"What about the princess?" The eunuch raised his eyebrows and asked again.

With a bit of embarrassment on his face, Ye Yuan sneered a few times, and found a reason to prevaricate: "Princess Wangfei is not feeling well, she is resting in the room, I'm afraid it's not convenient to come out to receive the order."

Upon hearing his words, the eunuch immediately said solemnly: "This is not allowed, this imperial decree must be received by the prince and the princess at the same time."

Seeing him so serious and resolute, Ye Yuan was a little surprised, but immediately calmed down, looked at him with some embarrassment, and said again: "Elder-in-law, it's convenient. The princess really can't come out to receive the order."

The lord was personally prosecuted, without his permission, the wangfei couldn't walk out of the yard, so how could she come to receive the order?

The eunuch also had a troubled expression on his face, he twitched the corners of his mouth, squeezed out a forced smile, and said in a low voice: "It's not that the slave is unaccommodating, it's really the emperor's confession, and the slave has no right to call the shots. "

"Why not?"

While the two were talking, a deep and magnetic voice came from the entrance of the hall, followed by a tall and tall figure, who appeared within the line of sight of the two of them.

Seeing Huangfu Yi's arrival, Ye Yuan stepped up to his side, just gave him a deep look, and didn't speak a word.Huangfu Yi just turned his head slightly to look at him, then walked straight towards the eunuch.

When Huangfu Yi walked in front of him, the eunuch bowed his hands and said: "Fourth prince, please let the fourth concubine come to receive the order together."

With his hands behind his back, Huangfu Yi raised his handsome brows, with a look of doubt on his handsome and resolute face, he asked inexplicably, "Why do you have to let the concubine come to receive the order together?"

And in his heart, there was a sense of uneasiness, and even his eyelids twitched unconsciously.

That woman Ling Ruoyao just entered the palace today, and now the emperor has sent someone to pass the imperial decree, how can this make him not suspicious or worried?

The eunuch sneered twice, and said in embarrassment: "My lord, this is what the emperor told me, and this slave is only following orders. Please don't embarrass this slave, my lord."

Tightly pursing his thin lips, Huangfu Yi didn't speak again, but his brows were always tightly knit together, and the eyes that looked at the eunuch became more and more fierce.

After a while, he sighed almost inaudibly, and then said in a low voice: "Follow me." After speaking, he turned and walked out of the hall first.

The eunuch looked at him in a daze as he walked out of the hall. He was very puzzled, but he still hurriedly followed.

All the way to Ling Ruoyao's courtyard in the backyard, Huangfu Yi stopped at the gate of the courtyard, staring at the house with the closed door deeply and complicatedly, his eyes were particularly gloomy.

Caizhi, who came out of the small kitchen, was holding a tray in her hand, and there was a delicate ceramic bowl in the tray, and there was a hot porridge in the bowl.Holding the tray, she walked straight towards the hall.

But he didn't want to, just now he walked into the courtyard from the small kitchen, when he saw Huangfu Yi walking in from the courtyard, followed by the eunuch and Ye Yuan, he was startled and immediately became nervous.

Hurrying up to Huangfu Yi, Cai Zhi lowered her head, bowed respectfully and said: "Servant, send my regards to the lord."

Looking down at her, his eyes fell on the tray in her hand, his eyes became deep, Huangfu Yi cleared his throat and asked, "Where is the princess?"

With a trembling in her heart, Caizhi frowned delicately, and there was a look of worry on her small face, but she still had to reply respectfully: "Go back to the prince, the princess felt a little tired, so she fell asleep."

After hearing her words, Huangfu Yi didn't say much, and knew what was going on in his heart.

Presumably at this moment Ling Ruoyao really doesn't want to see him?She must be very angry with him, wishing to tear him into pieces, right?

"Eunuch, look at this..." Putting away the messy thoughts in his heart, Huangfu Yi turned his head to look at the eunuch who was following him, and said in a low voice.

The eunuch also looked a little embarrassed, not knowing what to do.

The emperor repeatedly told him that the fourth prince and the fourth concubine must receive the order together. No matter what happens, the two must receive the order together, but at this time, the fourth concubine fell asleep.

"My lord, the emperor told the servants." The eunuch laughed twice, bowed his waist and lowered his head, and said in a low voice.

A look of displeasure suddenly appeared on his handsome and resolute face, Huangfu Yi glared at the eunuch, then turned to look at Cai Zhi, and ordered: "Go and wake up the princess, and say that she is going to receive the order together."

Caizhi was taken aback for a moment, and then noticed that the eunuch following him saw the imperial edict in his hand.But the doubts in his heart became more vigorous, and he secretly guessed what was written in the imperial decree.

However, guessing is guessing, she still didn't neglect for a moment, after receiving the order, she turned around and walked quickly towards the house.

Pushing open the closed door, Caizhi put the tray in her hand on the round table in the outer room, turned her head and walked towards the inner room, walking hurriedly.

When she came to the bed, she gently pushed Ling Ruoyao, and called out: "Miss? Miss, wake up."

In her sleep, Ling Ruoyao felt as if someone was shaking her, which made her dizzy, and immediately felt dissatisfied.

Frowning in displeasure, she reluctantly opened her eyes, looked up, and saw Caizhi looking at her with a strange expression.

That expression seemed to be surprised, but also seemed to have unconcealable joy, and even a little bit of excitement.

All in all, extremely complicated and difficult to understand.

Puzzled by her reaction, Ling Ruoyao blinked her sleepy eyes and said angrily, "What's wrong with you? Have you had a stroke?"

The expression on her face was a little stiff, and she stayed on the spot for an instant. Caizhi twitched the corners of her mouth and tried her best to keep herself calm, but she still couldn't restrain her inner excitement.

Grabbing Ling Ruoyao's arm, she said anxiously: "Miss, hurry up, get up and receive the order!"

"Accept the order? What is the order?" Ling Ruoyao looked at her blankly, not understanding what was going on.She didn't seem to have slept for long, did she?

Nodding her head like a pounding garlic, Caizhi couldn't help showing a smile, and said in a low voice: "Miss, someone from the palace is delivering the imperial decree, and I told you that the prince and princess must receive the decree together."

Ling Ruoyao still can't figure out what is it about this matter that can arouse Caizhi's excitement.

Seeing that she still had a blank expression on her face, as if she hadn't woken up after thinking about it, Caizhi spoke out again, expressing her guess: "Miss, tell me, did the emperor order you and the prince to reconcile with each other? Woolen cloth?"

After hearing her words, Ling Ruoyao became excited for a moment, changed from the listless look just now, and immediately revived.

Grasping Caizhi's hand on her arm, Ling Ruoyao couldn't help asking: "Really? Is what you said true?" There was excitement and joy that could not be concealed in her tone.

But in the next second, her expression dimmed again, and the original joy was replaced by disappointment.

"Miss, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that she was listless again, Cai Zhi hurriedly asked.

Cursing her lips, Ling Ruoyao sighed, shook her head and said, "It's okay, hurry up and change my clothes, don't make others wait too long." Then, she lifted the quilt and sat up.

Caizhi nodded, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her, helped her to stand up, and quickly helped her dress up.

Spreading her arms and letting Caizhi toss her body, Ling Ruoyao fell into her own contemplation. The emperor had clearly warned her that "the matter of reconciliation should not be mentioned again", and Mo Yingyu also expressed that she did not want to help her. She, how could the emperor suddenly order her to reconcile with Huangfu Yi?

Thinking about it this way, she didn't feel that this imperial decree had anything to do with reconciliation.Maybe other things can't be said.

Since there is no hope in my heart, then when I know the result, I will not appear disappointed and lonely.

Under Caizhi's skillful hands, Ling Ruoyao finished dressing and washing in a short while.

Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, she nodded with satisfaction, stood up, and walked out of the house with Caizhi following.

Stepping out of the house, she had just stepped out of the threshold when she saw the tall and slender figure in the yard, and her clear eyes were immediately stained with a layer of coldness.

After giving Huangfu Yi a cold look, she shifted her gaze to the eunuch, sized him up carefully, and finally landed on the imperial decree in his hand.

At this moment, she realized that she was so nervous that she didn't even dare to take a breath.

Just when she was meditating inwardly, she suddenly felt a complex gaze cast on her body.Those eyes were so sharp that she had nowhere to hide.

Putting away the messy thoughts in her heart, with Caizhi's support, she walked step by step along the stone steps outside the house to the courtyard, next to Huangfu Yi and the others.

Just glanced at Huangfu Yi indifferently, Ling Ruoyao didn't say a word, and looked at him with a lot of distance, as if treating a stranger.Shocked only inside.

Turning her gaze to the eunuch, she raised the corners of her rosy lips, raised a generous smile, and asked aloud, "I don't know why my father-in-law is here this time?"

Seeing that she was polite to him, the eunuch was also very respectful and polite to her: "Back to the princess, the emperor ordered the servants to come and announce the decree." Then, he looked at Huangfu Yi beside him again, "My lord, my concubine, please accept me." Let's do it."

Although there was a lot of reluctance in his heart, Huangfu Yi still lifted his robe, bent his long legs, and knelt on the ground, but his back was extraordinarily straight, and his eyes were always looking straight ahead.

Feeling restless and nervous in her heart, Ling Ruoyao thought to herself, could this imperial decree really be the emperor's decree to make them reconcile? .

Forcibly suppressing the messy emotions and images in her heart, she also rolled up her sleeves and knelt down on the ground.Caizhi and Yeyuan also kneeled respectfully behind them.

After everyone present respectfully knelt down, the eunuch read aloud: "By God, the emperor ordered that because the fourth concubine Ling Ruoyao failed to fulfill her duties as a wife after marrying the fourth prince." , and I also realized my mistake, and put forward a suggestion of reconciliation. I think of his courage to admit his mistakes, so I made this decree. From now on, the fourth prince and the fourth concubine will have nothing to do with each other from now on, and the fourth concubine will also be divorced. You have to leave the Four Princes' Mansion."

As soon as this decree came out, everyone was in an uproar, but there were also joys and sorrows for some.

The content of the imperial decree really surprised Ling Ruoyao, she never expected that the emperor actually issued a decree to allow them to reconcile.

When she went into the palace and talked about it with the emperor face to face, he was very angry and said to her, "Don't mention the matter of reconciliation", but at this time, he decreed to allow them to reconcile.

Could it be that Mo Yingyu was helping her?Mo Yingyu just said that she was powerless and couldn't help her, but in fact she helped herself to get free.

If there is a chance, she must thank Mo Yingyu well!

From now on, she is no longer the fourth concubine, and she has finally regained her freedom!

In contrast, Huangfu Yi's complexion looked much uglier, with a gloomy expression on his handsome and resolute face, and his thin lips were tightly pursed into a slit.

The eunuch who announced the decree saw that neither of them stepped forward to receive the decree, so he said: "My lord, please accept the decree."

There was a strong anger in his heart, Huangfu Yi really wanted to tear up the imperial edict, but in the end he had to raise his hands, accept the imperial edict calmly, and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

And in his heart, the burning anger was already about to burn him.On the resolute face with sharp edges and corners, it is so fierce that people dare not look directly at it.

The hand holding the imperial decree has already been clenched into a fist, and the veins on the back of the hand are bulging...
