The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 393

As soon as Princess Jianjun left, Yutuan'er came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess is still on a hunger strike. It's been the third day. People from Yilan Palace just came to report that they just fainted."

Ever since she learned that Zhou Yi had repelled the Huns' army, Qingluan begged Empress Cao again for the matter of descending Li Ling. She wanted to hit the Duke of Zhen's mansion again, but she wanted to take advantage of Qingluan's incident to make a play for Emperor Ming.

Empress Cao heard Yu Tuaner's words and asked, "Have you ordered someone to tell His Majesty?"

Yu Tuan'er replied: "Yesterday, I ordered someone to report to His Majesty. After hearing this, Your Majesty was very impatient and didn't say anything. Today, I sent someone to report to Your Majesty. Your Majesty said that after handling the government affairs, I will go to visit the Ninth Princess."

When Empress Cao heard this, a faint smile appeared on her face.

It would be easy for Emperor Ming to meet Qingluan.

Emperor Ming came out of Qinzheng Hall and was guided by Li Dequan to Qingluan's Yilan Hall. Emperor Ming paid little attention to this daughter, so the number of times he set foot in Yilan Hall was also very few.

Qingluan had been on a hunger strike for three days, and Emperor Ming didn't want to see her anymore, and it was impossible for him to watch her starve to death. Besides, the Huns invaded a while ago, and Emperor Ming sent her to marry her, so he still felt a little guilty towards Qingluan.

When Emperor Ming saw his daughter lying on the bed with a pale face and dying breath, he was not without a trace of distress in his heart. Emperor Ming sat down by the bed, looked at Qingluan and said, "Okay, why are you looking for life and death like this?"

Seeing that Qingluan closed her eyes tightly and refused to speak, Emperor Ming continued: "Are you still worried about the fact that I asked you to get married a while ago?"

After hearing this, Qingluan slowly opened her eyes, and replied in a cold voice with a wooden face: "Father sent me to that barbaric land, don't you allow me to be sad?"

Emperor Ming was stunned by his daughter for a moment, he was silent for a while, and after he calmed down, he continued to persuade Qingluan: "You are the princess of Daqi and my daughter, and you should share my worries for the country and me. Look at your Miss Huang, which one is not like this."

Qingluan sneered back at Emperor Ming and said: "Although I am the daughter of the emperor, in your heart, why have you ever regarded me as a daughter, and why have you ever given me a little love? It should also be the Eighth Emperor Sister who has always been regarded as the jewel in the palm of my father, I have never enjoyed a little favor from my father, why should I share it for my father."

As soon as Qingluan uttered these indifferent words, even Li Dequan, who was serving at the side, turned pale when he heard this: "Ninth Princess, be careful with your words."

Hearing this, Emperor Ming trembled even more with anger. The little bit of guilt he had originally felt towards this daughter was also dissipated by anger at this moment.

Emperor Ming flicked his dragon sleeves angrily, and said angrily: "You are such a grown-up, yet you are still so paranoid, it really hurts people to watch."

After all, Emperor Ming got up and left.

Qingluan did not hesitate to go on a hunger strike for three days to make such a fuss, but she did not do it to anger Emperor Ming. Now that she saw her father, the emperor who had come so hard to look forward to, she was angered by her, and Qingluan realized that she regretted it.

She couldn't care less about being hypocritical, and she got out of bed in a hurry, threw herself at Emperor Ming's feet, hugged Emperor Ming's leg tightly, and cried, "My daughter was only fooled for a while before she spoke freely. It's my daughter who made a mistake, I beg my father to save me! I beg my father to save me!"

Li Dequan hurried forward, supported Qingluan and said: "Hey, I said Princess Nine, if you have anything to say, please tell your Majesty, don't do this."

Qingluan didn't get up, she let go of Emperor Ming, and instead knelt down in front of him, wiping her tears and begged: "Father, since the Huns have retreated, Daqi doesn't need his daughter to make peace with him anymore. My daughter has nothing else to ask, but I beg my father to promise me one thing."

Although Emperor Ming didn't like Qingluan's temperament, it was his flesh and blood after all. Because the father and daughter were estranged, this daughter had never begged him for anything when she grew up. Besides, the marriage made Emperor Ming feel ashamed. When he saw his daughter Crying and begging like this made my heart soften again.

Emperor Ming helped his daughter up and asked, "What exactly do you want, just say it."

Qingluan tried tears, looked at Emperor Ming with watery eyes, and replied in a low voice: "My daughter lost her mother since she was young and lacks protection. She has nothing else to ask for except to marry into her mother's clan and be with her relatives in peace." Let’s go through this life together in peace and stability.”

After hearing this, Emperor Ming sighed heavily, and asked straightforwardly, "Are you still thinking about Bo Yue?"

Seeing Emperor Ming express her thoughts so directly, Qingluan first glanced at Emperor Ming with trepidation, then lowered her head and bit her lips, nodded heavily, and replied: "My daughter has already sworn a poisonous oath, and this life will be wrong. Cousin doesn't marry."

Emperor Ming snorted coldly and said: "You and Boyue are really stubborn. One must be Shen, and he will not want another woman, and the other is not married to the king."

Seeing Qingluan's pale face and drooping eyes to wipe away tears, Emperor Ming sat her down on the chair beside him, and calmly persuaded her, "It's not that the father refuses to help you achieve your wish, but that Uncle He is not willing to marry you, a while ago, in order to fulfill you, the empress even ordered Shen to demote his wife into a concubine, you know, after Boyue knew about this, he even handed in the military talisman."

Before Emperor Ming could finish talking, Qingluan pulled Emperor Ming's cuffs and hurriedly argued: "Father, my cousin is a person who wants to save face, and my mother suddenly demoted that Shen family to a concubine, and then forced him to marry me. Forcing cousin, he is naturally unwilling."

Emperor Ming looked at his daughter and said, "Then what do you say to make him willing?"

Qingluan hurriedly replied: "Father only needs to decree me to be handed down to my cousin, and there is no need to demote Shen Shi to a concubine. I am willing to sit on an equal footing with Shen Shi to be my cousin's wife."

Emperor Ming looked at his daughter with hatred for iron and steel, and sighed heavily: "You are a dignified princess, if you want to be equal to a woman from a small family, do you want to have some dignity?"

As soon as Emperor Ming said this, Qingluan burst into tears again. She had been on a hunger strike for three days, and her originally weak body was now even weaker. generally.

Li Dequan hurried forward to do Qingluan's back in a hurry, and kept muttering in his mouth anxiously: "Princess, don't worry, princess, don't worry!"

Emperor Ming was patient and coaxed for a while with good words, but Qingluan only said one sentence over and over again: "If I can't marry my cousin, I might as well die."

Emperor Ming was being distracted by this stubborn daughter, the servant came in and said: "Your Majesty, the empress is begging to see you."
