Chapter 99 Fighting
The willow trees outside the courtyard were swaying, and several swallows were also chirping around the willow trees.

Ji Yun knelt in the front hall and listened to the content of the imperial decree, he hurriedly walked up to Yuan Shun, snatched the imperial decree from his hand, his face was already black enough to drip ink.

"Congratulations, Lord Marquis."

Ji Yun looked at him, gritted his teeth, turned around and walked out.

Yuan Shun looked at his back, and his heart tightened.

He hurriedly took the little eunuch beside him to Cui's mansion.

When Ji Yun arrived at the stables, Mo Cheng stopped him, "Master Hou, it's getting late today, you have to wait until tomorrow if you want to enter the palace."

Ji Yun looked at him coldly: "Get up!"

After all, he took the horse and left.

Looking at his figure, Mo Cheng couldn't help frowning.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Zhenming was reviewing the memorial when he suddenly heard a servant coming to report that Ji Yun had come.

Emperor Zhenming raised his hand and said, "Xuan."

While speaking, his heart also sank to the bottom of the valley, and the hand holding the pen became harder and harder.

When Ji Yun walked into the imperial study room, he had already calmed down.

He couldn't show any flaws, and couldn't make Emperor Zhenming have half doubts.

"My minister pays homage to His Majesty." He saluted.

Emperor Zhen Ming smiled at him, walked up to him and helped him up: "There are no outsiders at this time, you don't need to salute, and you don't need to call me the Holy One."

Ji Yun: "Etiquette cannot be spent, and I dare not make mistakes."

The smile on Emperor Zhenming's face froze.

He asked again: "It's so late, why did you come to see me?"

Ji Yun immediately knelt down with the imperial decree in his hands and said: "I don't want to marry Cui's daughter, so please take it back."

Emperor Zhenming looked at the imperial edict he was holding in his hand, sighed and said, "Why don't you want to?"

Ji Yun opened his mouth and was about to speak when he heard him say again: "Sanlang, tell me what's wrong with her that made you not want to marry her five years ago, and you still don't want to marry her five years later?"

Ji Yun: "I don't want to marry her, but I don't want to marry her."

His angry appearance is a bit like that of a teenager.

Emperor Zhenming snatched the imperial decree from his hand and threw it heavily on the ground. He tightly held Ji Yun's collar with both hands: "Do you dare to swear? You never thought of marrying her? Never thought of growing old with her ? Do you dare to say that you have never been half-distracted by her?"

Ji Yun frowned, looked at Emperor Zhenming, and a guess gradually emerged in his heart, "I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Emperor Zhen Ming pressed him to the ground and punched him, "You want me to take back the imperial decree, have you considered me? Have you considered my face!"

Ji Yun stared at him, and said: "It's my fault, but I really don't want to marry her. I do love her. But I..."

Emperor Zhenming laughed, and said, "Isn't it possible? You are just afraid that something will happen to you in the future, and she will be implicated, aren't you! Ji Yun, in your heart, what am I?"

When Ji Yun heard this, his heart sank instantly.

Seeing his expression, Emperor Zhen Ming said again: "Why don't you do it? I hit you, shouldn't you hit me back?"

When Ji Yun heard what he said, he pressed Emperor Zhenming back and beat him.

Moments later, both of them had injuries on their faces.

"Master Hou, you..." Yuan Shun pushed open the door, and saw two people with bruised noses and swollen faces.

Emperor Zhenming glared at him: "Get out!"

Yuan Shun was yelled for no reason, and quickly backed out, closing the door of the Imperial Study Room again.

At this time, the two stood in the hall, and neither of them spoke.

When they were young, the two would fight like this, but they rarely beat each other like this.

Ji Yun looked at Emperor Zhenming: "You insist on me marrying her?"

Emperor Zhenming snorted and said, "Guess what she thinks now."

With that said, he sat back to review the memorial, "Yuan Shun, send it to Lord Hou."

Yuan Shun, who was outside the door, was amnesty, and quickly opened the door, leading Ji Yun out.

"Master Hou, don't worry about this matter, servants are stupid, but they also know that Lord Hou is his brother in his heart. He never treats you as a subject." Yuan Shun comforted Ji Yun.

A piece of peach blossom petals floated under his feet, Ji Yun lowered his eyelids, "Ben Hou was just impatient and said something wrong, father-in-law apologized to the Holy One for me,"

Yuan Shun knew that the two had a good relationship since he was a child, and he was really afraid that Ji Yun would become estranged from Emperor Zhenming from now on, and that the sage would really become a "lonely man".

"You are a slave." Yuan Shun said hastily.

While talking, he was almost at the gate of the palace. After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Shun said, "Ms. Cui has been well-versed in books and rituals since she was a child. If Lord Hou marries her, she must be a man of talent and beauty, and the empress dowager will feel at ease in the spirit of heaven."

Ji Yun: "Well, go and serve the Holy Majesty."

Yuan Shun quickly agreed.

After coming out of the palace, Ji Yun rode his horse to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion.

"Master Hou, Mrs. Cui is here." As soon as he entered the Hou's mansion, Mo Cheng hurriedly came over to report to him.

Ji Yun frowned, as it was already dark today, why did she come here like this?

"When did she come?"

"It's been half an hour, Lord Hou, your face." Mo Cheng caught a glimpse of Ji Yunqing's blotchy face under the moonlight, and his expression was startled.

Ji Yun has already opened the door and walked in.

Cui Xuan sat in front of the table, dozing off after a while.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he quickly raised his head.

I saw Ji Yun walking in with a scar on his face, "Can't you come over tomorrow morning?"

Is she so unwilling to marry him?

Cui Xuan: "What happened to your face?"

Ji Yun shrugged his shoulders: "I was hit by someone, or could it be a bump?"

There was a sense of meaninglessness in his speech, which made Cui Xuan a little anxious for a moment, and she said angrily: "I still can't see that you are being beaten! Who beat you?"

Seeing her angry, Ji Yun smiled and said, "Your Majesty beat me, do you want to avenge me?"

Cui Xuan: "I want to thank him for helping me do what I want to do."

There was a smug look on her brows, and Ji Yun was speechless for a moment.

Cui Xuan looked at his deflated appearance, and gradually put away the smile on her lips.

She went to the window and looked at the bright moon hanging high. The shadows of the trees in the yard were whirling, and the moonlight sprinkled on the peach trees in the yard, as if coating the peach blossoms with a layer of brilliance.

"Does His Majesty know?" Cui Xuan asked.

Both of them knew what she was referring to, Ji Yun nodded: "Cui Axuan, this time...you have to marry if you don't want to."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the expression on Cui Xuan's face anxiously.

The girl just nodded, sighed lightly and said, "Then marry, what can I do?"

Ji Yun looked at her indifferently, his fingertips turned white.

He remembered that he was not the husband she wanted.

Cui Xuan looked at him: "It's nothing, I always want to marry, it doesn't matter who I marry, besides, I'm married by the new emperor, it's so beautiful."

Ji Yun turned his head away and stopped looking at the smile on her face.

"I can't accompany you to recite poems against you, and I'm not the talented husband you want like a son of a family."
