Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

It was that dark and damp cell again, but the difference today was that there were a few more people in the cell.

The trio of princes headed by Huangfuxuan stood outside the cell, looking at Huangfu Yan and Huangfuxi who were locked in the cell with serious expressions.

This can be said to be their last meeting. After a while, Huangfuyan and Huangfuxi will be escorted to Luoyan Island, and they will not be allowed to leave the island for half a step, and they will not be able to visit.

In this life, I'm afraid that there will be no contact.

"Big Brother, Third Brother." Huangfu Yu stepped forward, frowned, looked at the two nervously and worriedly, and said reluctantly, "You must take care!"

Looking at Huangfu Yu, Huangfu Yan raised his lips and smiled, his smile was extraordinarily calm, without any waves, as if he had been demoted to a commoner and imprisoned on Luoyan Island, he was not like him at all.

"We are already common people, how can we bear such a high title?"

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Huangfu Yu was anxious, and said in a firm and serious tone, "You will always be my elder brothers!"

Even though he acted calmly, Huangfuyan's heart was still violently touched, there was a momentary convulsion, and even the corners of his eyes were slightly moist.

Trying his best to keep calm, he also sincerely said to Huangfu Yu: "Thank you, Lao Liu! With your words, I am already very satisfied!"

"Boss, third." Huangfu Yi also stepped forward, frowning as well, with a dignified look on his handsome face, "Take care!"

"You too!" Nodding towards Huangfu Yi, Huangfu Yan said in a deep voice, "Fourth, treat Miss Ling well, don't quarrel anymore."

There was a moment of daze, Huangfu Yi obviously did not expect that he would suddenly mention Ling Ruoyao, but he immediately regained his composure, and said solemnly and firmly: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely!"

"Okay." Huangfuxi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly snorted coldly, and said in a strange way, "Stop pretending to be good people here! Why did we end up in such a mess, you should ask yourself!"

What he said immediately made the atmosphere tense and awkward. The three people outside the cell all glanced at each other, their faces becoming stiff and embarrassed.

"Third brother!" Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Huangfu Yan hurriedly scolded, "Are you still quibbling? Are you still shirking responsibility? Didn't you admit that everything was arranged by you in front of Father that day? ?”

Being scolded by Huangfuyan, Huangfuxi immediately became dissatisfied, turned his head to stare at him, and opened his mouth to confront him.

However, before he could make a sound, Huangfu Xuan took the lead and said: "Boss, third child, please stop arguing. When you go to Luoyan Island, you still need to take care of each other."

The atmosphere became even more rigid. Huangfuyan and Huangfuxi didn't speak any more. They both lowered their heads slightly at the same time, their eyes looked a little gloomy.

They are very clear about their future, after going to Luoyan Island, they are isolated from the world.Even if they are still alive in this world, what is the difference from disappearing?No one will think of them, no one will mention them.

Just when everyone was silent, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the cell, and then the head eunuch appeared, and in his hand was a tray with a stack of Very neat white silk.

"My servant greets the princes." The chief eunuch saluted the three people outside the cell.

Although Huangfuxuan was already the best candidate for the crown prince, but he hadn't formally performed the canonization ceremony, so the courteous reception he received was still in accordance with the prince's rules.The most fragile.

"Eunuch, this is..." Looking at the white silk in the manager's hand, Huangfuxuan said with some surprise.

Turning his head and glanced at the cell in the middle, his eyes fell on the corner, and he remained silent, like an invisible Mo Yingyu, the chief eunuch snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and said: "The emperor ordered, give Yu I have a piece of white silk for my concubine."

Although they already knew the result, when the chief eunuch said this, everyone couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Among them, Huangfu Yan couldn't help turning his head to look at Mo Yingyu.

But I saw that she was still squatting in the corner, without any movement, as if she didn't notice the noise around her or what happened, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.

Seeing her like this, he suddenly felt a little bit reluctant and worried, wishing he could step forward and hug her into his arms.

Huangfuyan realized that he was really a bitch, he had been brought into such a situation by her, he still couldn't be cruel to her, he still couldn't restrain his thoughts, and always cared about her.

When he thought of what would happen next, he felt a sense of sadness rising from the soles of his feet. .

"Such a bitch, it's better to die!"

A disdainful and hateful discourse interrupted Huangfuyan's contemplation, he suddenly came back to his senses, looked up, and what he saw was Huangfuxi's gloomy face, burning with anger Tiandi stared at Mo Yingyu.

At this moment, he was in no mood to argue with him any more, he just thought this was his last struggle, his last vent.Anyway, after a while, they will be escorted to Luoyan Island. From then on, everything in this world has nothing to do with them.

"Concubine Yu, take the order and thank you." Walking to the door of the cell, the chief eunuch shouted at Mo Yingyu who was in the cell, his tone full of disdain.

Mo Yingyu, who was huddled in the corner with her arms around her knees, finally moved.

She turned her head slowly and looked at the chief eunuch, her eyes were so calm that there was no wave, but they seemed to be out of focus, and looked extraordinarily hollow.

She just glanced at the white silk indifferently, then shifted her gaze to the few people outside the cell, passed by the three of them one by one, and finally landed on Huangfuxuan, but it was only for a split second. Stopping, she immediately looked away.

Frowning unconsciously, Huangfuxuan stepped forward and came to the side of the chief eunuch. He also looked at Mo Yingyu, but suddenly asked: "Do you regret it? Regret that you were instructed to approach elder brother , causing him to end up in such a field?"

Looking up at him, Mo Yingyu raised her pale and bloodless lips, but her smile was still beautiful: "I don't regret, I don't regret being ordered by others. I don't regret approaching him, only regret not being able to get along with him longer."

The tone of her words was calm, but with deep love and reluctance.

Huangfuyan couldn't help being taken aback, his heart seemed to be tightly held by a big hand, it hurt so badly that it even made him a little out of breath.

The corners of his eyes were moist, but the corners of his lips lifted up slightly unconsciously. He was in a good mood, he thought, he would not feel regretful, nor would he regret getting along with her.

"You are really affectionate!" said in a low tone, Huangfuxuan turned his head to one side, "Let's get on the road."

Seeing that everyone had finished speaking, the chief eunuch ordered the jailer to open the door of Mo Yingyu's cell, and he himself carried the tray containing the white silk, walked into the cell, came to Mo Yingyu, and took the white silk placed in front of her.

Looking down at her, the chief eunuch snorted and said impatiently, "Concubine Yu, please go on your way."

Glancing at Bai Ling at her feet, then raising her head to look at the head eunuch standing in front of her, Mo Yingyu smiled charmingly, "Thank you for my kindness!"

With another cold snort, the head eunuch turned around and walked out of the cell, and came in front of the three of Huangfuxuan: "The three princes, please go back. I will leave this place to the jailers."

After taking a last look at the three people in the cell, the prince trio turned around and walked out of the cell.

But when he was leaving, Huangfuxuan suddenly turned his head and glanced at Mo Yingyu, his eyes were sharp, and there was even a trace of warning.It's a pity that Mo Yingyu didn't even look at him, and kept staring at the white silk.

After everyone left, Huangfu Yan suddenly got up and came to the iron fence, looked at Mo Yingyu, and said excitedly: "Is what you just said true? Do you really not regret getting along with me? "

Without looking at him, Mo Yingyu said in a low voice, with a distant and erratic tone: "What's the use of saying this now?"

Slightly startled, Huangfuyan's eyes dimmed instantly, the originally excited mood turned cold at this moment.

Yes, what's the use of saying this now?Still can't change their mutual ending.

"I see, you should hurry up and make a pair of ghost mandarin ducks!" Huangfuxi said sarcastically.

However, his words, falling into Huangfuyan's ears, seemed to be an inspiration, making his gloomy eyes shine instantly, and he looked at Mo Yingyu excitedly again.

It's a pity that before he could speak, Mo Yingyu interrupted him: "If you really have feelings for me, please live well for me. No matter how miserable life is, as long as you live, there is still hope!"

Huangfuyan didn't know whether she was comforting him or herself, but no matter what the reason was, at this moment, if he chose to obey her, it should be regarded as following her last words.

Despite thousands of reluctance and sadness, Huangfu Yan still nodded and agreed.

Finally raised her eyes to look at him, Mo Yingyu smiled extraordinarily beautifully, and said softly: "It's nice to know you."

After finishing speaking, she picked up the white silk on the tray...

On this day, the eldest prince Huangfuyan and the third prince Huangfuxi were demoted to common people and escorted to Luoyan Island, where they were not allowed to leave for life.

On this day, the emperor's favorite concubine, Jade Concubine, hanged from the beam in the prison cell, and died in a fragrant fragrance.

***

In the prime minister's mansion.

In the quiet courtyard, a thin but nimble figure suddenly appeared, and walked quickly along the corridor to the closed door.

Pushing open the door, Caizhi walked in, carefully watching the tray in her hand.

Walking into the room, she put the tray on the round table, and said to Ling Ruoyao who was staying in the room: "Miss, this servant made ginseng soup for you, come and taste it."

However, her cry did not receive any response, and the room was peaceful without any sound.

Caizhi couldn't help being stunned, thinking to herself, isn't the lady in the room?But there is clearly a figure in the room?

Puzzled in her heart, she hurriedly walked towards the inner room.

Walking into the room, she found that Ling Ruoyao was lying on the bed with her back facing her, not moving at all, and she didn't know if she was asleep.

Coming to the bed lightly, she leaned forward and glanced at the woman on the bed quietly, only to see that her eyes were open, her eyes were empty, and she was lost in thought.

With a helpless sigh, Caizhi called out softly: "Miss? Miss, the servant has boiled ginseng soup for you. You should drink it while it's hot."

Still didn't speak a word, Ling Ruoyao was still lying on the bed motionless, with expressionless face and dull eyes.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Caizhi was even more puzzled and worried.

Just when she leaned forward again, Ling Ruoyao suddenly turned around, lay on her back on the bed, her eyes widened, and she looked at her seriously, which startled her and took two steps back.

Patting her chest with lingering fear, Caizhi said agitatedly: "Miss...Miss, what are you... doing? Scared the slaves to death."

Although she was complaining, she was still worried, so she hurried back to the bed, squatted down on the edge of the bed, frowned and looked at Ling Ruoyao: "Miss, if you have anything on your mind, you can tell your servant."

Turning over again, she turned sideways, looked at Caizhi, thought for a while and asked: "You said, the second prince has been established as the crown prince, so will he be enthroned as emperor in the future?"

After pondering for a while, Caizhi nodded, and said seriously: "When the emperor abdicates in the future, the crown prince will naturally succeed."

Pursing her red lips, Ling Ruoyao fell into deep thought.

As Caizhi said, if the current emperor abdicates, Huangfuxuan, as the crown prince, will naturally succeed to the throne and become the new emperor.

However, there is a special rule in Cheyuan Kingdom. Only those who get the jade pendant representing power and status are eligible to inherit the throne. That is to say, even if Huangfuxuan became the crown prince, he cannot be the emperor without the jade pendant.

Now that the jade pendant is in her hands, does that mean that she will decide who will be the emperor in the future?

This task was too great for her to bear, and she didn't know who should be the emperor.

"Caizhi." Moving forward, Ling Ruoyao asked in a low voice, "Among the several princes, who is the most suitable to inherit the throne? Regardless of the order of seniority."

Although she didn't understand why she suddenly asked such a question, Caizhi still thought about it seriously: "If you really want to say who is the most suitable to inherit the throne, well, I think the fourth prince is the most suitable."

"Huangfu Yi?" Ling Ruoyao was a little surprised, "Why him?"

"Although the second prince is now the eldest prince and is the most qualified to be the prince, the servant always feels that the second prince is not suitable. Although the second prince looks very easy-going, the servant feels that the second prince is not easy to guess. The sixth prince The one who is the least princely, and the most unrestrained, is also not suitable. In this way, there are only four princes."

"You girl, you're really good at observing." Ling Ruoyao touched her forehead with her hand, and said with a smile, "You've got some discernment."

Stretching out her hand and rubbing her forehead, Caizhi also said with a smile: "Miss has already made up her mind, so why bother to ask the slave?"

"Hey, you girl, how dare you learn to talk back!" Ling Ruoyao glared at her sullenly, pretending to be displeased.

"Your maidservant dare not!" Hastily raising her hand in surrender, Cai Zhi stuck out her tongue, "My maidservant knows I was wrong."

"Okay, get up quickly." Turning over and sitting up, Ling Ruoyao got up and put on her shoes and got off the bed, "Follow me to a place."

When she came to the dressing table, she straightened her clothes in front of the bronze mirror, picked up the small box with a lock on the dressing table, and walked out of the house first.

Walking straight towards the front yard, I met Ling Qinglian unexpectedly on the way, and the master and servant were naturally stopped.

"Ruoyao, where are you going?" Looking at her, Ling Qinglian frowned and asked, her eyes unconsciously fell on the small box in her hand.

Blinking her eyes mischievously at him, Ling Ruoyao smiled brightly and charmingly: "I won't tell you."

Dazed for a moment, Ling Qinglian stared at the pretty face in front of her in a daze, feeling that the sun was also becoming brighter at this moment.

While he was in a trance, Ling Ruoyao waved at him, and left straight away, leaving him still in a trance.

***

Inside the Four Princes' Mansion.

In the quiet courtyard, there is only the rustling sound of the autumn wind blowing through the leaves.

In the gorgeous house in front of him, a tall and tall figure was standing in front of the half-open window, with his hands behind his back and a stern face.

Behind the man, there is also a man standing, but he looks a little thinner and his face is a little softer.

"Ye Yuan, go and find out how the boss and the third child were framed." Huangfu Yi said in a deep voice, with a sharp look in his deep phoenix eyes.

He didn't ask who framed these two people, nor did he ask whether these two people were really framed, he only asked how they were framed.It's just because he firmly believes that it must be that person who set up this game to kill two birds with one stone.

"What about the jade pendant?"

"Two things to do at the same time. The king believes in your ability to handle things."

Slightly stunned, Ye Yuan frowned, and responded: "This subordinate understands, this subordinate will do it now." After speaking, he cupped his hands towards Huangfu Yi, and then retreated.

When walking out of the study, unexpectedly, he ran into a pretty woman unexpectedly.

When seeing Ling Ruoyao, Ye Yuan seemed a little surprised, but immediately regained his composure, and cupped his hands towards her: "Second Miss Ling is here."

Nodding slightly to him, Ling Ruoyao raised the corners of her lips, raised a graceful smile, and asked, "Is the prince in there?"

"My lord is inside, Second Miss Ling please."

After another nod, she bypassed him, opened the door and walked into the study.

After Ling Ruoyao walked in, Caizhi closed the door.As soon as she turned around, she saw Ye Yuan walking away, she couldn't help shouting: "Where are you going, Mr. Ye?"

Stopping, Ye Yuan turned around and looked at her with a stern expression: "My lord has explained something, and I'm about to do it."

"Oh." Nodding her head, Caizhi hurriedly said, "In this case, the servants will not bother Young Master Ye, please do so, Young Master Ye."

But the line of sight still stayed on that thin and tall figure until the figure went away and finally disappeared.

Walking into the study room, Ling Ruoyao saw Huangfu Yi standing in front of the window at a glance, she lightened her steps and tiptoed towards him.

After walking behind him, she raised her hands, made a scary look, and slowly approached him.But she didn't want to, before she could make a sound to scare him, Huangfu Yi, who had his back to her all the time, suddenly turned around, stretched out his ape arms, and hugged her into his arms.

Startled, Ling Ruoyao couldn't help exclaiming, and the box in her hand fell to the ground. Fortunately, the box was relatively strong and was not broken.

"What are you doing? Scared me to death!" Staring at him angrily, she clenched her fists and beat his strong chest, as if she was tickling him.

Looking at her with raised eyebrows, Huangfu Yi said with a smirk: "Of course it's to catch someone who has evil intentions and wants to murder me!"

"Who has evil intentions, who is going to murder you?" Fen Nen punched him on the chest again, Ling Ruoyao hummed and said, "You should tell me clearly!"

"Whether there is something wrong in your heart, you know it in your heart." Still playing tricks, Huangfu Yi turned his head and didn't look at her, but saw the box that fell on the ground, "What is that? You are going to give it to me?"

Saying that, he let go of her, and bent down to pick up the box.

However, just when his slender fingers were about to touch the box, Ling Ruoyao quickly snatched it away, and carefully protected it in his arms, looking very nervous.

"Don't move!" Holding the box with one hand and pointing at him with the other, Ling Ruoyao said solemnly, "This is my mother's dowry, don't move it!"

"Dowry?" Frowning, Huangfu Yi said suspiciously, "Is that the box that the prime minister gave you?"

After being stunned for a while, Ling Ruoyao seemed a little surprised: "Do you still remember?"

"I remember everything related to you." Staring into her clear eyes, Huangfu Yi said firmly in a low voice.

There was a warm current flowing through her heart, she couldn't help but hooked the corners of her lips, a happy and sweet smile appeared on her lips, but before the smile spread, she heard Huangfu Yi said jokingly: "You are now bringing The dowry came to me, are you going to marry me?"

There was a sudden burst of fire on her face, Ling Ruoyao really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

How embarrassing!Why did she just say it was a dowry?You can also say that it is her relic left by your mother!

How are you now?How embarrassing!

"Since you have brought the dowry on your own initiative, how can I refuse?" Still smiling slyly, Huangfu Yi reached out to grab the box in her hand, "Give me the dowry."

This time, she didn't stop her, but obediently handed the box into his hands, and kept telling her: "This is my dowry, you must keep it safe, if it breaks, I will never forgive you !"

While nodding in agreement, Huangfu Yi opened the box impatiently.

But when he saw the things in the box, he was stunned for a moment, a look of astonishment flashed across his face, and he looked up at Ling Ruoyao in disbelief: "Why is this jade pendant in your hands?!"
