Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

Chapter 1: Seek justice for her. Ling Ruoyao already knew about Huangfuyi's request for a marriage from the emperor but was rejected. She was not disappointed.

After staying in the mansion for several days, she was always worried about Huangfu Yi, so she thought about going to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to look for him, but now that the two of them are so unknown, it seemed a little impolite for her to go to him rashly, so she kept struggling intolerable.

In the end, the worries and longings in her heart overcame her scruples, and she led Cai Zhi straight out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and walked towards the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

Walking all the way on the bustling street, she always frowned slightly, her face looked a little dignified, her hands hidden in the wide water sleeves were also clenched together, her steps were so fast that Caizhi had to trot all the way Only then can you keep up with her pace.

Just burying her head and walking forward, Ling Ruoyao didn't notice that a tall and slender figure was walking towards her, and when she saw her, there was a look of joy and surprise on her face.

Quickly walking towards that pretty and moving figure, Huangfu Xuan curled up his thin lips, and a soft and graceful smile appeared on his lips.

But Ling Ruoyao still lowered her head, didn't see Huangfuxuan who had already walked in front of her, and just rushed forward, bumping into him without accident.

Rubbing her forehead that was sore from the impact, she raised her head in displeasure, and stared at the person in front of her dissatisfied.Just about to scold, but when he saw the person in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but froze for a moment.

"Second Prince." Quickly regaining her senses, she bowed to Huangfuxuan, and she had to put away the dissatisfaction in her heart.

After waving his hands, Huangfuxuan said with a slight smile: "Second Miss, you don't need to be polite." After Ling Ruoyao straightened up, he continued to ask, "Second Miss is in such a hurry, where are you going?"

In the dark eyes, there was a look of inquiry, but in his heart, he had already guessed seven or eight points, but he didn't want to believe it, and hoped that there would be such a surprise.

"It's just a casual walk." Ling Ruoyao twitched the corners of her mouth and laughed a few times, then she hurriedly said perfunctorily, "I have nothing to do, so I came out for a stroll."

"Really?" Huangfuxuan raised her thin lips with a raised brow, and said in a calm but somewhat sly tone, "In that case, why don't we go for a walk together? Second Miss won't reject me, right?"

As he said that, he still looked at her with pleading and expectant eyes, as if he was afraid that she would reject him.

The corner of her mouth twitched uncontrollably, Ling Ruoyao really wanted to slap herself twice.

Okay now?It was hard for her to refuse, so she had to bite the bullet and agree, and wandered aimlessly with Huangfu Xuan.

But she didn't come out of the mansion just for the sake of shopping?Is she going to find Huangfu Yi's friend?How did he meet Huangfuxuan by such a coincidence?

She is still shopping with him at this moment!

Ling Ruoyao really wanted to flip the table.

Lowering her head, she secretly thought about how to get rid of him.On a fair and pretty face, there was a pensive expression, and her delicate brows were tightly frowned, revealing her tangled mood.

Huangfuxuan didn't make a sound either, but turned his head slightly to look at her. Seeing her reluctance, he felt an overflowing sense of loss in his heart, and his thin lips unconsciously evoked a bit of bitterness. Smile.

The moment he saw her, he felt uncontrollable joy and excitement in his heart. It was a kind of joy after reunion after a long absence, but unfortunately, he was the only one with such joy.

She didn't feel his mood at all, and even ignored him.

He couldn't figure it out, what's so good about the fourth child?Can it make her miss her so much?She is just to find the fourth child, right?

Did the fourth child ever hurt her?Otherwise, how could they reconcile?Now she is just a married woman who has been married but divorced, but he still has a special affection for her.

Sometimes, he really felt like he was being mean.

With his appearance and status, how many women are trying to get close to him, but he has a special interest in this woman!

It's a pity that this woman didn't feel his feelings for her at all, and only thought of another man in her heart.

He's not being mean, what is that?

After pondering for a while, he smiled self-deprecatingly, took a deep breath, and put away the messy thoughts in his heart.

Turning his head to look at her again, he had changed into a calm, even slightly joking expression, and said with a smile: "Second miss is going to look for fourth brother, right?"

Surprised by his sudden words, Ling Ruoyao was stunned for a moment, and then she came back to her senses after a while, and without any further concealment, she nodded and said, "I happened to remember that I have something to tell The fourth prince is going to look for him."

"If that's the case, the king won't delay the second lady." With his thin lips raised, he smiled as warmly and warmly as the spring breeze in March, "This king is very lucky to meet the second lady today. I can walk with the second lady Let's go, this king is also satisfied."

Looking up at his pair of dark eyes, Ling Ruoyao read some unacceptable emotions from his eyes, her heart skipped half a beat, and her face became embarrassed.

Hastily looking away, she lowered her head slightly, bowed her body and said, "So, Ruoyao will take my leave first."

"Second Miss, go slowly." Nodding slightly, Huangfu Xuan didn't say much, and watched her leave with a smile on his face.

After Ling Ruoyao walked around him and left, he put away the slightly stiff smile on his face, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes were complicated and sad.

The big hands behind his back had unconsciously clenched into fists. He pursed his thin lips, and kept staring at that slender and exquisite figure until he disappeared into the crowd and could no longer see him. Then he retracted his gaze. Turning around, he strode away.

Although she doesn't have him in her heart now, he will not give up.

As long as it is what he wants, he will find a way to get it!

Whether it's the position that symbolizes the highest power and status, or this woman who only thinks about other men!

***

After getting rid of Huangfuxuan, Ling Ruoyao continued to walk towards the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and not long after, she came to the gate of the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

Stopping outside the gate, she looked up at the gilt plaque hanging on the gate, feeling a little complicated and agitated, suddenly feeling as if she hadn't seen it for a long time.

Ever since she left the Fourth Prince's Mansion, she seemed to have never been here again. Unexpectedly, a long time had passed before she knew it.

"Miss?"

Caizhi's soft voice interrupted her contemplation, Ling Ruoyao hurriedly came back to her senses, averted her eyes, turned to look at Caizhi, and ordered: "You go and report first."

After receiving the order, Caizhi stepped up the stone steps and walked straight to the two guards at the gate.

The two guards guarding the gate, when they saw someone coming up, they turned their heads to look at the same time, but when they saw Caizhi and Ling Ruoyao standing on the stone steps, they couldn't help but were stunned for a moment.

"Isn't this Sister Caizhi?" The servant on the left put on a surprised expression and said in surprise, "Sister Caizhi, why are you here?"

"That's right, sister Caizhi, long time no see, why did you come to the palace suddenly?" The boy on the right also came up to greet Caizhi.

Seeing that the two greeted her so acquainted and enthusiastically, Caizhi looked a little embarrassed, and smiled awkwardly before asking: "Excuse me, is the prince there?"

The two of them looked up at Ling Ruoyao one after another, knowing it in their hearts, and hurriedly said: "Sister Caizhi, wait a moment, we will pass the information on for you."

After finishing speaking, the boy on the left turned around and trotted into the yard.

After thanking the other servant, Caizhi walked down the stone steps, returned to Ling Ruoyao, helped her up the stone steps, and came to the gate.

Not long after, the servant who had gone to deliver the message came back, bowed to Ling Ruoyao, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "My lord is waiting for Second Miss Ling in the study, please, Second Miss Ling..."

"Thank you."

Stepping into the gate, Ling Ruoyao couldn't help but sighed lightly. On her clear and refined face, there was a dignified expression, and her eyes unconsciously glanced around.

It's still the same as before, nothing has changed.

Walking familiarly on the way to the study, along the way, I also met many maids and servants. .

All the servants who saw her had expressions of astonishment and shock. Everyone couldn't help but look at her twice, and some of them even discussed in a low voice. The topic they talked about was nothing more than her. How could it appear in the palace?

Ling Ruoyao didn't pay much attention to the astonished reaction and whispering of the servants, just pretended that she didn't know at all, and continued to walk steadily towards the study.

When walking around the corner of a wall, she came across a petite figure unexpectedly.

"Princess?!" When she saw Ling Ruoyao, Caizhu, who was walking forward, stopped immediately and looked at her in surprise, "Princess, you are finally back!"

Unable to restrain the excitement in her heart, she quickly walked in front of Ling Ruoyao, and sized her up from top to bottom. After confirming that it was really her, she put away the sizing eyes, but she was still emotional: " Concubine, you are back! During the days you have been away, you want to die as a servant!"

Looking at Caizhu who wanted to laugh but had a crying face, Ling Ruoyao couldn't help laughing, but her heart was full of emotion, and the gaze she looked at was extraordinarily gentle.

Taking her hands, she looked at Caizhu eagerly, but her delicate brows gradually frowned, and her face became more serious: "Caizhu, why have you lost so much weight?"

Caizhu's already petite and thin body looked even more emaciated at the moment, with a withered and yellow face, and she looked malnourished.

Caizhu was just a child who didn't open her eyes. When she was still growing up, she never treated her badly when she was still in the palace. She thought to herself, if Caizhu keeps following her, she must never Grow into a big fat man.

Unexpectedly, not only did she not become a big fat person, but she was a little scary.

Could it be that after she left, the people in the mansion treated her badly?abused her?

Being questioned by Ling Ruoyao, Caizhu hurriedly turned her head to the side, avoiding her sight, and replied falteringly: "Princess, you don't have to worry about your servant. The servant just misses her too much, so she is getting thinner and thinner."

She thought she would believe this, but was it just a perfunctory reason?

"Tell me, did the two side concubines bully you and abuse you?" Ling Ruoyao asked in a low voice, holding her hands tightly, and there was also displeasure in those clear eyes. look.

"No." Hastily shaking her head and explained, Caizhu struggled to withdraw her hands, "The princess is worrying too much, a servant is a servant, and it is the duty of a servant to serve the master, and the two side concubines have never abused her." Over slaves."

"Really?" Ling Ruoyao suddenly raised the corners of her lips and gave a chuckle, but suddenly raised Caizhu's arms, and the wide sleeves also slid down, revealing a small half of her thin arms, "Then What are these?"

I saw that the arms of Caizhu were densely covered with fresh or scabbed welts, which were particularly shocking.

"Oh my God!" Caizhi, who was silent at the side, was also shocked by what she saw, hurried forward and said in shock, "Caizhu, how did you get these injuries?"

Dodging the questioning gazes of the two, Caizhu tightly closed her lips, still refusing to speak the truth, with a dignified and distressed expression on her small face.Married and tortured.

However, her reluctance to speak made Ling Ruoyao further confirm what she thought in her heart, and she immediately became angry, pulled the colorful beads, and walked straight forward.

"Come with me, I will take you to seek justice now!"

"Wangfei..." Caizhu became anxious immediately, and while struggling to get rid of her restraint, she hurriedly said, "My servant appreciates Wangfei's kindness. Wangfei doesn't have to be so angry because of this servant."

"How can I not be angry?" Looking back at her, Ling Ruoyao said angrily, "Although I have left the palace, there is still a prince in the palace. How could they act recklessly and beat you like this?"

There was a burst of tension in her heart, but more of it was full of warmth and emotion, Caizhu choked up, with hot tears swirling in her eyes.She bit her lower lip tightly to keep herself from crying out of joy.

After she was sent to do rough work by Su Yuhe, Su Yuhe told the old lady in charge to "take good care" of her.

So, since then, she has been beaten by the old lady almost every day. Regardless of whether she has done anything wrong or not, as long as the old lady is in a good mood, she will be beaten.

As a result, her body was covered with many scars, the old wounds were just right, and new wounds were added, thus, the scene Ling Ruoyao just saw happened.

Pulling Caizhu all the way to Huangfuyi's study room, she looked so angry that she didn't bother to knock on the door, and pushed open the closed study door, and walked in angrily, leaving the study room Huangfu Yi and Ye Yuan inside were taken aback.

Huangfu Yi, who had been waiting impatiently, was taken aback when he heard the bang, and subconsciously looked up, and the one that caught his eyes was the familiar one, but it was full of anger. pretty face.

Ying Ting frowned involuntarily, and he hurriedly stood up and walked towards her: "What happened? Who upset you?"

Pushing Caizhu in front of him, Ling Ruoyao lifted up Caizhu's sleeve, raised the arm covered with various scars in front of Huangfuyi, and asked, "What's going on with all this?" ? How could the colored beads be beaten like this?"

When he saw the shocking scars on Caizhu, Huangfu Yi's handsome brows were tightened even more, his face was gloomy, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and he didn't speak out.

He thought he should know how these injuries came from.

He was the one who asked Caizhu to serve Su Yuhe at the beginning, and Su Yuhe never wanted to see Ling Ruoyao, Caizhu served her before, presumably Su Yuhe vented his resentment towards Ling Ruoyao on Caizhu.

Afterwards, so many things happened that he had already forgotten what Caizhu was doing now.

"Don't tell me, you don't know what's going on?" Ling Ruoyao said displeasedly, slightly raising the volume, her tone was a bit cold.

The anger in her heart gradually eroded her reason, so that her attitude became tough, and even transferred her anger to Huangfu Yi.

"Ruoyao, calm down first!" She stretched out her hands to hold her shoulders, but unexpectedly, she dodged her. Huangfu Yi's deep phoenix eyes suddenly dimmed, and his outstretched hands froze. Halfway through, "Listen to me first."

Anger told her that she didn't want to listen to any explanation, she just wanted to know the answer, to know what was going on.

"I'm very calm!" Looking up at him, Ling Ruoyao curled up her ruddy, cherry-like lips with a disdainful smile, and said in a deep voice, "You just need to tell me how her injury came about. That's it."

"I don't know either..." After speaking, Huangfu Yi's face became more and more gloomy, and he even avoided her questioning sharp gaze.

It's all his fault that he let Caizhu serve Su Yuhe in the first place, so he gave Su Yuhe the opportunity to abuse Caizhu.If he had let Caizhu serve by his side back then, the current situation would not have happened.

"I don't know?" Ling Ruoyao sneered with the corners of her lips curled up. Ling Ruoyao gave him a sideways glance and said coldly, "I think you don't care at all!"

"Ruoyao..."

"Princess," seeing that Ling Ruoyao's anger was getting bigger and bigger, and she was about to quarrel with Huangfu Yi, Caizhu was frightened, and hurriedly said, "Princess, it's none of the prince's business. The beating was ordered by Concubine Su."

The upward curve of the corners of her lips became deeper and deeper, Ling Ruoyao turned her head and squinted at her, and said bitterly: "Are you finally willing to speak?"

Looking up to meet her gaze, Caizhu nodded, and told Ling Ruoyao all the experiences she had suffered since Ling Ruoyao left.

After listening to her story, Ling Ruoyao only felt that the anger in her heart was getting stronger and stronger, and she was about to ignite her whole body.

This Su Yuhe is really deceiving people too much!How dare someone bully her like this!

"Caizhu, let's go, I'm going to seek justice for you now!" She said, pulling up Caizhu again, as if she was about to pull her out of the study.

A generous and slender big hand suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her. Huangfu Yi hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and said in a low voice, "Ruoyao, calm down! With your current state, there is no way for Cai Zhu asked for justice, and it was only a quarrel with her when I went there."

"I know I can't do anything. She is a side concubine, and I'm just an outsider. But even if it's just a quarrel, I'm going!"

What Ling Ruoyao didn't notice was that her unintentional words made Huangfu Yi's face suddenly darken. In his deep eyes, there was deep guilt and self-blame. Hanging down helplessly.

Is she blaming him for failing to get the emperor to promise them a marriage?Are you blaming him for making her wait for so many days without any results?

All she wanted was to settle accounts with Su Yuhe, Ling Ruoyao didn't notice his strangeness, and strode out of the study with Caizhu.

Looking at the two leaving nervously and worriedly, Caizhi opened her mouth, and finally had to sigh helplessly, turned around and bowed to Huangfu Yi and said, "Your Majesty, calm down, Miss is only angry for a while, so she said something that shouldn't be said." I hope the prince will not take what he said to heart."

Puckering the corners of his lips to laugh at himself, Huangfu Yi waved his hand and sent her away, but there was a bit of bitterness in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the person who saw his thoughts was actually a maid.

But here, Ling Ruoyao took Caizhu and walked forward in big strides. While walking, she was still chanting and scolding Su Yuhe, as if she wanted to eat her alive.

"Princess, let's go back." Struggling and refusing to go with her, Caizhu said anxiously, almost crying, "Princess, Concubine Su and Concubine Yao made the prince unhappy a few days ago, I was just punished by the prince. Now both of them are lying on the bed and can't get off the ground. They have already been punished, let's go back."

What she said made Ling Ruoyao stunned for a moment, and her steps also paused, but she immediately came back to her senses, curled her lips and said: "It is his business that he punished those two people, I will go now It's my business to settle accounts with Concubine Su, so don't confuse them!"

"princess……"

"Okay, stop talking, just follow me."

Not giving Caizhu a chance to speak, Ling Ruoyao dragged her straight to the outside of Su Yuhe's yard, and then Caizhi, who followed, also came to the two of them.

Stopping outside the yard, she looked up at the magnificent building in front of her, took a deep breath, and then walked in. She straightened her back deliberately, raised her head and chest, and put on a full posture look.

She went to Su Yuhe to settle the score, no matter what, she couldn't lose to the other party in terms of aura, the aura had to be strong enough!
