Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

Facing Ling Ruoyao's questioning, Huangfu Yi didn't know how to speak, he opened his mouth several times, but in the end he still didn't say a word.

But his hesitation made Ling Ruoyao more dissatisfied, and he looked at him with even more resentment: "Why don't you talk? Tell me, what did they do? Let you treat them like this!"

"Ruoyao, calm down and listen to me!" Huangfuyi said in a low voice, still holding her shoulders with both hands, and tried his best to keep calm, "I will tell you everything that happened, you first Calm down."

"How do you tell me to calm down?!" Swinging away his hands that were holding her, Ling Ruoyao looked up into his eyes and growled dissatisfiedly, "You have arrested my family, you said I can calm down Is it?"

Seeing her getting more and more agitated, Huangfu Yi also became anxious, his handsome brows were furrowed into a ball, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and he looked at her solemnly.

After a long while, he cleared his throat and said, "The reason why I arrested your family members is because... your eldest brother colluded with the enemy and treason, colluded with the Sky Kingdom, deliberately defeated, and caused countless casualties to our army."

"No... Impossible!" With an unbelievable look on her face, Ling Ruoyao hurriedly shook her head and retorted, "Brother wouldn't do this! He was wronged! Someone must have framed him! Yes, someone framed him he!"

As Ling Ruoyao was speaking, she stepped forward suddenly, grabbed Huangfu Yi's arm, and said eagerly: "Yi, you must find out the truth of the matter and return my elder brother's innocence!"

"Ruoyao, listen to me." Holding her hands behind his back, Huangfu Yi looked at her nervously and worriedly, and said in a low voice, "I have already investigated this matter very clearly, no one framed your elder brother, He is indeed collaborating with the enemy and treason, deliberately losing to the Sky Kingdom."

"No way!" Throwing his hand away, Ling Ruoyao took a step back, glared at Huangfu Yi fiercely, and angrily said, "My elder brother wouldn't do this! He would never do such a thing! You How can you be so gullible in rumors!"

For a moment, Huangfu Yi didn't know how to speak so that she could accept this fact, so he could only frown and look at her.

After a while, he seemed to remember something, stared at her, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know a person named Ji Shaoyuan?"

"Ji Shaoyuan?" Ling Ruoyao asked suspiciously, "Who is he? I don't know him at all!"

She didn't know Ji Shaoyuan, but she did know a man named Gu Shaoyuan.

After meditating secretly for a while, she said again: "However, my elder brother has a friend named Gu Shaoyuan."

"Yes, that's him!" Huangfu Yi said hastily, with a very serious expression, "Do you know who this Gu Shaoyuan is?"

Shaking her head, Ling Ruoyao expressed doubts.

Speaking of which, she really didn't know the identity of Gu Shaoyuan, she only knew that he was a friend Ling Qinglian met outside during the two years when she left home.

As for the others, she didn't inquire too much about it, nor was she interested in it.As a result, she has never known Gu Shaoyuan's identity.

"This Gu Shaoyuan is none other than the Crown Prince of the Sky Kingdom, and his name is not Gu Shaoyuan, but Ji Shaoyuan!" Huangfuyi said in a low and serious tone, "Your elder brother is friends with him, and you still suspect that he was killed by someone else?" Was it framed by someone?"

Ling Ruoyao was stunned again, staggered, and took two steps back, but she didn't want to bump into the wooden bucket full of hot water, shaking involuntarily, and almost fell into the wooden bucket. Fortunately, Huangfu Yi made a timely move and grabbed her waist.

Hurriedly supporting her, Huangfu Yi asked worriedly: "How are you? Are you injured?"

However, Ling Ruoyao was still in shock, hadn't recovered from this fact, still shook her head in disbelief and murmured: "Impossible, it's absolutely impossible, big brother wouldn't do such a thing! Gu Shaoyuan is nothing The crown prince of the Sky Kingdom! There must be a mistake somewhere!"

"Ruoyao..." Seeing her chattering like this all the time, Huangfuyi was very worried, he hugged her carefully, and said softly, "Ruoyao, calm down, don't think about it, it will pass, everything will pass past..."

He knew that this matter must be difficult for her to accept, so he chose to hide it from her, he just didn't want to see her like this.Although he also knew that it was impossible to keep this matter a secret, at least he didn't want her to know so soon.

Even though she knew it was difficult for her to accept this fact, as the emperor of Cheyuan Kingdom, sitting in this supreme position, there were some things that he had to be ruthless and make decisions about.

On the contrary, Ling Qinglian must be guilty of treason, and it is reasonable to punish the nine clans, but considering Ling Ruoyao's mood, he has not dealt with Ling Qinglian and the Ling family.

But Ling Qinglian's guilt cannot be avoided, and he always wants to be above the court and give everyone a convincing result.

When he was in this position, he realized that there are many things that he cannot help himself, and sometimes, he has to be cruel and decisive.

While he was meditating secretly, Ling Ruoyao suddenly pushed him away and shouted at him: "Go away! I don't want to see you! Go away!" Then she stretched out her finger and pointed outside the hall.

"Ruoyao..." Huangfu Yi called her softly, and stepped forward, trying to support her.

But he didn't want to, before his hand touched her arm, she swung it away mercilessly, and only heard a snap.

"Go!" Shouting at him, Ling Ruoyao choked up and fell to the ground, hot tears streaming down her face immediately, "Go...I don't want to see you..."

Her mood was extremely unstable at this time. Although he was very worried about her and wanted to stay by her side to take care of her, he also knew that if he continued to stay here, it would only make her mood more unstable.

After pondering for a while, Huangfu Yi sighed softly and said: "You are tired from the journey, take a rest first. I'll ask Cai Zhu to come in and serve you." Then, he gave her a reluctant look , just turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall, but turned around every three steps, and his eyes stayed on her all the time.

After Huangfu Yi walked out of the palace, Ling Ruoyao finally couldn't hold back her emotions, and burst into tears without any scruples, the tears instantly blurred her vision and burned her cheeks.

She didn't expect that such a serious thing would happen during the three months since she left. How could she accept it for a while?

Even though she is just a ray of ghost possessing this body, not the real Ling Ruoyao, the Ling family is not her real family to her.But in these days with the Ling family, she has already regarded them as her own family.

Especially Ling Yan and Ling Qinglian, they are my father and elder brother, they love and take care of me so much.

However, after three months of absence, she had just returned to the capital when she heard such bad news, and was ordered to be arrested by the person she loved the most.

She hated him so much, hated Huangfu Yi's ruthlessness, and also hated herself for being helpless.He hated Ling Qinglian's ignorance, and also hated the injustice of fate.

Is God punishing her?Otherwise, why let her go through such a thing?Why let the person she loves the most, do such a thing that she hates?

What should she do?How should she face her family?How should I face Huangfu Yi?

***

For several days in a row, Ling Ruoyao stayed in the house, unwilling to step out of the house, and refused to meet anyone. The only person who could get close to her was Caizhu who went to take care of her.

Looking at Ling Ruoyao who was getting thinner and listless all day long, Caizhu was very worried, but she didn't know how to persuade her.

She knew about the Ling family's affairs, and it was Huangfuyi who ordered her not to tell Ling Ruoyao, but in the end Ling Ruoyao still knew about it.

Bringing the hot porridge to Ling Ruoyao, Caizhu whispered, "Second Miss, if you don't eat or drink like this, your body will not be able to bear it. The servant made porridge for you, you can eat some while it's hot."

However, Ling Ruoyao still had empty eyes and expressionless face, curled up at the foot of the bed motionless, staring at the ground in a daze, without saying a word, and without looking up at Caizhu.

"Second Miss..." Caizhu was very worried and anxious, and even her voice couldn't help but choked up, "Second Miss, don't be like this...Second Miss, you should eat something."

It's a pity that Ling Ruoyao still didn't speak or look at her, like a sculpture, placed at the foot of the bed.

She couldn't understand, why did she experience such a thing?Why is God so cruel?

"It's not good... it's not good..."

Suddenly, there was a panicked voice from outside the hall, followed by a petite figure who quickly ran into the palace, came to Ling Ruoyao in a hurry, and said in a panic: "It's not good, second lady!" !"

Standing up and looking at the court lady, Caizhu scolded in a low voice: "What are you doing in such a panic? Is there a monster chasing you?"

Gazing at the maid, Caizhu warned her not to talk nonsense in front of Ling Ruoyao, so as not to irritate her again.

It's a pity that this court lady didn't understand what Caizhu conveyed to her at all, or, even if she understood, she pretended not to understand.

"Second miss is bad!" The court lady ignored Cai Zhu's scolding, and said in a panic, "I heard that the emperor has ordered General Ling to be executed, and all the Ling family will be dispatched to the frontier! "

"What did you say?!" Ling Ruoyao, who hadn't reacted at all, suddenly raised her head, her eyes were horrified, she looked at the maid in disbelief, she rubbed herself up, and grabbed the dress of the maid, stunned. Startled her, "What did you just say?"

After recovering from her senses, the maid repeated what she said just now, but Ling Ruoyao was even more shocked.

She was already weak, but after hearing the bad news, she couldn't accept it for a while, her whole body shook, and she was about to fall to the ground.

"Second miss..."

Startled, Caizhu hurriedly stepped forward to support her, so as not to let her fall to the ground.After supporting her, Caizhu glared at the maid again with fierce eyes, and cursed in a low voice: "Who told you to come? Tell you to talk too much!"

"Caizhu, I didn't intend to scare the second lady." The court lady hurriedly explained, feeling very anxious, "I also heard about it just now, and after I heard about it, I rushed to tell the second lady."

"Who did you hear that from?" Caizhu scolded again, "Would you believe this kind of thing if someone said it casually? If the emperor finds out, the emperor will definitely not spare you!"

The maid was frightened, she hurriedly waved her hands, and hurriedly explained for herself: "It's not Caizhu, I'm speaking in support of Concubine Yao."

"Concubine Yao?" Caizhu was stunned, and dissatisfaction suddenly appeared in her eyes, but no matter how angry she was, she was just a slave, and she could only swallow her anger in her stomach.

Ling Ruoyao, who was leaning weakly on Caizhu, raised her eyes slightly to look at the maid, and asked weakly, "Where is the emperor? Where is the emperor?"

"The emperor is reviewing the papers in the imperial study."

Without saying a word, Ling Ruoyao straightened up, swayed her body, and then stumbled towards the outside of the hall, so scared that Caizhu hurriedly followed her and carefully supported her.

All the way to the imperial study room, Ling Ruoyao didn't care about the eunuch's obstruction, and swept away with a sharp look, making the eunuch dare not come forward again.

Pushing away the colorful beads that were supporting her, she took a deep breath before taking a step, and walked into the imperial study room alone.

After walking in, she realized that Huangfuyan and Huangfuxi were also there.Huangfu Yu was still on the battlefield, so the four of them could not get together.

Seeing her coming in, Huangfu Yan and Huangfu Xi glanced at each other, then stood up, cupped their hands towards Huangfu Yi and said: "If the emperor has no other orders, I will take my leave first."

Slightly nodding his head, Huangfu Yi didn't speak, but turned his gaze to Ling Ruoyao who had a very ugly face.

When passing by Ling Ruoyao, Huangfuyan and Huangfuxi turned their heads to look at her, and they both looked a little complicated when they looked at her, as if they didn't know what expression to make.

After the two left, Huangfu Yi got up and walked in front of her, reached out to hold her hands, seeing that her hands were cold, he quickly rubbed them for her.

"It's such a cold day, why don't you wear more clothes when you go out? Be careful not to catch a cold." He said softly, his words were full of strong concern, and his gaze towards her was also very gentle.

However, Ling Ruoyao ignored his concerns, remained expressionless, looked at him indifferently, and asked straight to the point: "Have you made an order? Decided what to do with my family?"

When she appeared, Huangfu Yi guessed what she was looking for him for, but seeing her reaction at this moment, he still felt somewhat unacceptable.

Now that the matter has come to an end, he also knows that he can't hide it from her, so he nodded and said: "The decree has been made. Three days later, Ling Qinglian will be executed. Seven days later, Ling Yan and others will be escorted to the border."

Her eyes turned cold in an instant, Ling Ruoyao bit her red lips tightly, as if she was trying hard to suppress the resentment and anger rising in her heart, but her pretty, but pale face was still full of anger.

Pulling back her hand suddenly, she raised her head, looked at him coldly, and said word by word: "Where did you lock my family?"

A short sentence, but one word at a time, popped out from between the teeth.

"Ruoyao, why are you asking this?" Huangfu Yi was a little puzzled and asked suspiciously.

"Where did you lock my family?" Ling Ruoyao asked again, ignoring him.

Yingting's brows were tightly knit into a ball, Huangfu Yi was silent for a while, and then said: "In the prison. Ruoyao, calm down!"

"I can't calm down!" Ling Ruoyao roared with a sudden wave of his hand, "Don't let me calm down anymore, I can't calm down anymore. My elder brother will be executed and my family will be exiled, you How can I be calm? At this moment, my family is locked in prison, but I live in the palace, how do you let me face them?"

"Ruoyao..."

Taking a deep breath, Ling Ruoyao suddenly looked up at him, and said in a clear but decisive tone: "I am also a member of the Ling family, since you are going to deal with our Ling family, you should also deal with me too? Are you going to be sent to the frontier? Well, send me to the frontier too!"

"Ruoyao, you know I won't do that." Holding her shoulders, Huangfu Yi said in a deep voice, with a little tiredness and helplessness in his tone, "You know I won't hurt you, so why would you?" How about sending you to the frontier?"

"Aren't you saying you didn't hurt me? Isn't that hurting me when you treat my family like this? "

"Ruoyao, why can't you think about it for me?" Huangfu Yi suddenly felt powerless, "Your elder brother committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and it is reasonable to punish the nine clans. Now, I only order to kill your elder brother. As for Ling The rest of the family, I did not execute them, sending them to the frontier is already kind to them."

"Merciful?" Ling Ruoyao said with a sneer, curling up the corners of her lips, "You are so indiscriminate, you locked up my family, ordered my elder brother to be beheaded, and exiled my family. How dare you say merciful!".

Facing her questioning and resentment, Huangfuyi felt very helpless, and even felt a little wronged: "Ruoyao, I've already said that I didn't wrong your elder brother. You know that he met Ji Shaoyuan. Why do you always think that I wronged him?"

What he said made Ling Ruoyao not know how to refute, and she also flinched in her heart. It's not that she didn't know what he said, but she just didn't want to believe it, that's why she kept deceiving herself like this.

"I don't want to hear from you! I have already decided that no matter what, I will be with my family!" Ling Ruoyao said firmly and resolutely, staring at his deep phoenix eyes.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Huangfu Yi to speak, she turned around and trotted towards the outside of the hall, leaving Huangfu Yi alone, standing there in a daze.

After a while, he came back to his senses, his brows were furrowed, and he hurriedly chased him out.

However, when he walked out of the palace, he found that Ling Ruoyao had disappeared outside the palace.

Calling the little eunuch next to him, Huangfu Yi asked the little eunuch, only to find out that Ling Ruoyao had already run away.

Based on what she said just now, and she asked herself where Ling Yan's family was locked up, he knew where she had gone.

With one hand behind his back, he stepped down the stone steps and walked forward quickly.

***

All the way to the outside of the prison, Ling Ruoyao was naturally stopped by the guards guarding outside the cell.Regardless of whether she was acting foolishly or begging for mercy, the jailer was still unwilling to let her go.

Even if she moved out of Huangfuyi and used Huangfuyi as a cover, the jailer still only had one sentence: "Please show me the token."

Ling Ruoyao really wanted to chop off the heads of the two jailers in front of her with a knife. If she had a token, would she talk nonsense with them?

After a stalemate for a long time, Ling Ruoyao still failed to enter the prison, and a lot of time was wasted instead.

And when the two sides were at a stalemate, a strong figure appeared beside them, and said in a deep voice, "Let her in."

"Subordinates obey."

Without looking at Huangfu Yi, Ling Ruoyao snorted coldly, and walked towards the cell.

After entering the cell, she looked around the cells on both sides, but did not see Ling Yan and the others.In a moment of anxiety, she shouted: "Father, brother, sister! Where are you?"

"Master, Master, it's Miss' voice!"

As soon as the words fell, Ling Ruoyao heard a familiar figure, and she was overjoyed, and said again: "Caizhi, is that you? Where are you?"

"Miss, it's a slave, and the slave is here!"

Following the sound, she saw Caizhi in the cell not far ahead.In the same cell, there was also Ling Ruoyun.

And in the two cells opposite them, Ling Yan and Ling Qinglian were locked up.

Trotted to the outside of Ling Yan's cell, Ling Ruoyao looked at him nervously, frowned, and hurriedly asked, "Father, how are you? Is there anything wrong?"

"Ruoyao, you're finally back. Dad can finally feel at ease." Ling Yan also walked in front of her, and looked her over carefully, with joy that couldn't be concealed on his old face.

There was an indescribable complex feeling in her heart, Ling Ruoyao only felt a sore nose, and hot liquid gushed out of her eyes in an instant.With her voice choked up, she said guiltily: "My daughter is not filial. She saw you suffer, but she couldn't rescue you."

Looking at her softly, Ling Yan smiled, and stretched out his hand to stroke her hair on the sideburns: "Silly boy, as long as you are fine, dad can rest assured."

"father……"

"Go and see your elder brother and your sister."

Nodding her head, Ling Ruoyao came outside Ling Qinglian's cell.Reaching out to wipe the tears off her face, she tried her best to make her voice sound normal: "Brother."

Ling Qinglian didn't get up and walked in front of her, she was still squatting by the wall, she just looked up at her with complicated eyes.Curving the corners of his lips, he smiled slightly at her: "Come Ruoyao."

"Brother, tell me that none of this is true. You were wronged."

Ling Ruoyao looked at him expectantly, expecting him to tell herself, yes, he was wronged.In this way, she can let Huangfu Yi thoroughly investigate the matter and return their innocence.

However, the development of things can't always go as she expected.

Ling Qinglian curled her lips into a wry smile, and said calmly: "Ruoyao, I'm sorry, it's all my brother's fault. No one wronged me, Shao Yuan is indeed the prince of the Sky Kingdom, and I was indeed defeated on purpose. Even the first time I led troops to go out, I had colluded with each other beforehand so that I could win successive battles."

"No, it's not true!" Ling Ruoyao still didn't want to believe it.

"Ruoyao, it's true. I have indeed committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason." Meeting her suspicious gaze, Ling Qinglian said in a deep voice, looking at her very seriously.

He is very clear about his ending, and he doesn't want to explain too much.If you explain too much, you will appear to be very cowardly.Now that he has chosen this path and done these things, he knows what awaits him.

"Ruoyao." When Ling Ruoyao was shocked, Ling Ruoyun suddenly stopped her in the opposite cell.

Quickly regaining her senses, Ling Ruoyao swayed, came outside Ling Ruoyun's cell, and looked at her worriedly: "Sister."

Coming in front of her, Ling Ruoyun rarely showed her a sincere smile, and said in a calm and friendly tone: "You must live a good life. These days in the cell, I also thought a lot. Back then, it was my wife It's extreme, and I blame everything on you. It's wrong to blame you, don't be angry with my sister. "

At this time, she was still thinking about apologizing to herself, Ling Ruoyao suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.Shaking her head hastily, she said in a crying voice, "How could I be angry with my sister? You will always be my sister!"

"Ruoyao..." Reaching out to touch her cheek, Ling Ruoyun smiled brightly at her, "Live well. We can't blame anyone for our fate. Besides, I won't regret it either. I don't regret myself Falling in love with Young Master Gu."

For a moment, Ling Ruoyao suddenly realized that she didn't know Ling Ruoyun well, and her opinion of her was a bit extreme.

Why do some misunderstandings and some words always have to be solved and spoken out in times of trouble?

Why couldn't the misunderstanding be resolved earlier?

"Miss." Caizhi also came in front of her, her pretty face was already covered with tears, "Miss, this servant wants to serve you again."

"Caizhi." Reaching out to wipe the tears off her face, Ling Ruoyao choked up and said, "Caizhi, I'm sorry for making you suffer too."

"Miss, it's not Miss's fault, why should Miss blame herself?" Cai Zhi shook her head, and smiled at her, "This slave girl grew up in the prime minister's mansion, and she has already made an oath, All my life, I have been in the prime minister's mansion. Now, naturally, I can't leave the master and the young master, and the two young ladies behind."

"Caizhi..."

"Miss, don't worry." Cai Zhi patted her chest, and said confidently, "This slave will definitely take good care of the master, the young master, and the young miss."

"Caizhi, thank you."

Looking at their family, Huangfu Yi suddenly didn't know how to feel, the big hand behind his back had already clenched into a fist.His eyes narrowed slightly, his expression was very solemn and gloomy.

If possible, he didn't want to arrest Ling Yan's family, and he also really wanted Ling Qinglian to be wronged.But all the signs, all the evidence, point to him.

On the battlefield, Ling Qinglian was indeed defeated on purpose, and even handed over her own strategic plan to the enemy.Isn't this the same as opening the door and letting the opponent fight?

Moreover, the relationship between him and Gu Shaoyuan is extraordinary, Gu Shaoyuan has lived in the prime minister's mansion when he came to Beijing several times.If it is said that Gu Shaoyuan has nothing to do with the prime minister's mansion, how can it be convincing?

After thinking for a while, Huangfu Yi stepped forward, came to Ling Ruoyao's side, and said in a low voice: "Ruoyao, it's time to go."

Turning her head and looking at him coldly, Ling Ruoyao said coldly, "I want to stay here."

"Ruoyao..."

"Ruoyao, don't be willful!" Ling Yan hurriedly scolded, "Listen to the emperor, go back quickly. Don't come here again."

"Ruoyao is obedient." Ling Ruoyun also persuaded, "Remember, you must live well. No matter what is waiting for us, you must live bravely."

As long as there is life, there is hope.

Now, they have fallen into such a situation. Fortunately, Huangfu Yi thought of his relationship with Ling Ruoyao, and loved her wholeheartedly, so he didn't put her in prison, and still loved her like this.

As the only free person in the Ling family, they didn't want to see her end up like them.

They all hope that their loved ones can survive.

Faced with Ling Yan and Ling Ruoyun's persuasion, Ling Ruoyao had no choice but to be obedient, and left the prison with Huangfu Yi, but stopped and walked, looking back at them from time to time.

Looking at Ling Ruoyao who left, Ling Qinglian who had been sitting by the wall suddenly got up and came to the iron fence of the prison cell, looking at the pretty figure with deep and solemn eyes, and he didn't look back until the figure disappeared.

***

Three days later, Ling Qinglian was beheaded.

Ling Ruoyao wanted to see him off for the last time, but Huangfuyi refused, and asked Caizhu to watch over her, not allowing her to wander around.

For this reason, Ling Ruoyao's resentment towards him also deepened.She hated his unfeeling, even refused to let her see Ling Qinglian for the last time.But he didn't know that he was worried about her, afraid that she would not be able to accept the fact that Ling Qinglian was executed.

Seven days later, Ling Yan and others were dispatched to the frontier.

Ling Ruoyao had already made plans to sneak out of the palace and go to the border with Ling Yan and others.

She had already made a decision to be with her family, even if she was also exiled to the frontier, she would not be afraid.As long as she can be with her family, no matter how difficult the situation is, she will not feel the slightest fear.

It's a pity that she was arrested before she even slipped out of the palace.Huangfu Yi also sent someone to guard outside her hall, even when she went out for a walk, there was a large group of people following her, she had no freedom at all.

For this reason, she resented Huangfu Yi even more, resented him for confining herself and not giving her a little freedom.He resented him for capturing him back, so that she didn't even have the chance to send her family off.

For Ling Ruoyao, the days in the palace were so unbearable, she almost counted the days on her fingers, but she still felt that time passed so slowly.

It has been ten days since Ling Qinglian was beheaded, and it has been six days since Ling Yan and others were dispatched to the frontier.

When Ling Ruoyao counted to No. 13 days, Huangfu Yu who fought in the border town came back, and there was another person who returned with him.

On the Jinluan Hall, Huangfu Yi looked down, the tall and slender figure, the handsome brows, unconsciously frowned, and his expression was very dignified.

"I don't know what are the peace terms proposed by your country?" After confronting Gu Shaoyuan for a while, Huangfu Yi asked aloud, his tone was low and majestic.

Gu Shaoyuan chuckled lightly, his expression was very nonchalant, and his tone of speech seemed very relaxed, as if the peace terms were easy for him to obtain, and there was no need to be too nervous at all.

"If the emperor sincerely wants to make peace with us, there are not many conditions, only one." Gu Shaoyuan said, the smile on the corner of his lips gradually spread.

Hearing his confident words, Huangfu Yi suddenly felt dissatisfied, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

If it wasn't for Ling Qinglian's deliberate defeat on the battlefield, she wouldn't have sacrificed so many soldiers in vain, let alone give the enemy a chance to gain the upper hand.

Even though Huangfu Yu was in charge later, due to the heavy losses before, coupled with the sufficient preparations of the Sky Kingdom and its full combat effectiveness, the situation of the war was immediately resolved.

After some strenuous resistance, they managed to make peace.If you don't make peace with the Sky Kingdom, if you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid the sacrifice will be even greater.

"Tell me, what are your conditions?" Before Huangfu Yi could speak, Huangfu Yu asked first, looking at Gu Shaoyuan with a bit of hostility.

On the battlefield, he had fought against Gu Shaoyuan, and the two of them could be said to be on equal footing, and the fight was inseparable, but it was precisely because of this that Huangfu Yu's hostility towards him was even deeper.

Turning his head to look at Huangfu Yu, Gu Shaoyuan raised his eyes and turned his gaze to Huangfu Yi who was above him: "I just want someone from the emperor."

After hearing his words, Huangfu Yi only felt that the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, and a thought that he couldn't believe appeared in his mind unconsciously.

As if to confirm his thoughts, Gu Shaoyuan continued: "As long as the emperor takes Ling Ruoyao as a marriage partner and marries me as a princess, I will withdraw my troops and stop fighting."

His brows were furrowed instantly, and his hands on his knees were immediately tightened into fists. Huangfu Yi pursed his thin lips, with a dark face, staring at Gu Shaoyuan sharply, and said in a serious and firm tone: " I can also tell the prince, except for this condition, other conditions, I can agree to you, but this person, I can't give you!"

"In this case, there is nothing to talk about. Let's continue to see you on the battlefield." Gu Shaoyuan said, his tone was very disapproving, and he didn't say anything more, turned around and strode out of the hall.

His attitude undoubtedly aroused the dissatisfaction of the officials, especially made Huangfu Yi very angry.

This Gu Shaoyuan is too arrogant, right?And what he said is so confident, he is so sure that he will agree to his condition and let Ling Ruoyao be the marriage partner?

He managed to find Ling Ruoyao, how could he let her leave him again?Moreover, he had said long ago that Ling Ruoyao was destined to be only his Huangfuyi's woman for the rest of her life!See and ask Zhihuang.

However, after everyone whispered, an official suddenly stood up, cupped his hands towards Huangfu Yi and said, "Your Majesty, I think that you might as well agree to the conditions of the Sky Kingdom. If you continue to fight, I'm afraid it will be messed up by then." If the people suffer, it is the common people who suffer."

The importance of Ling Ruoyao to Huangfu Yi is self-evident.But as the emperor of a country, he should not only care about his own harem, but more importantly, he should care about the people of the whole world.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Another official also took a step forward and echoed, "The Sky Kingdom has come prepared and is already ready for a protracted war. After our defeat in those battles, In the end, the army is already short of strength, if we continue to fight, we will only suffer more losses."

Following the words of these two officials, many officials also voiced their agreement. Everyone suggested that Huangfu Yi agree to Gu Shaoyuan's conditions, and let Ling Ruoyao make peace with the Sky Kingdom as a marriage partner.

Huangfu Yi remained silent all this time, his hands were clenched tightly, his brows were furrowed, and his face was extremely gloomy.

It's not that he hasn't thought about the consequences of what these officials said, it's not that he hasn't thought about it.He also didn't want to continue the fight and make the people miserable. He also knew that he should care about the world and think about the people of Li.

But let him let Ling Ruoyao go with his own hands, take Ling Ruoyao as a marriage partner, and watch her marry into the sky kingdom, he can't do it.He would never do such a thing!

He said that except for this condition, he can consider the rest of the conditions.Only Ling Ruoyao, he will never let go.

"emperor."

But suddenly, a crisp voice came from outside the hall, followed by a pretty and moving figure appearing in the hall.

Walking to the front of the crowd, Ling Ruoyao raised her head to look at Huangfu Yi, who was at the top, with a calm expression, and said firmly, "Please also allow the daughters of the people to go to the Sky Kingdom to make marriages."

"Ruoyao, you..." Huangfu Yu who was standing next to her suddenly exclaimed, "How...how can you say such a thing?"

Turning her head to look at him, Ling Ruoyao hooked the corners of her lips, her smile was clear and moving: "What does the lord mean by this? Since the peace condition proposed by the Sky Kingdom asks me to go and get married, why don't I go? With me alone, I will Why would I not do it in exchange for the peace and contentment of the people of Cheyuan Kingdom? Maybe I will become a hero that everyone talks about."

"You—" Choked by her words, Huangfu Yu was so angry that his face turned livid, but he didn't know how to refute, so he gave her a hard look.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that the reason why Ling Ruoyao did this was because of the Ling family.

Huangfu Yi still didn't make a sound, but looked at her with complicated and deep eyes, and her graceful figure was reflected in the deep and narrow phoenix eyes.His thin lips were tightly pressed, and he didn't say a word, his face was solemn, with a chilling coldness.

He didn't expect that she would take revenge on him and punish him in such a way.Because of the Ling family, she has been resenting him, refusing to see him, refusing to talk to him.

Now, she actually took revenge on him like this!Is it because seeing him in pain makes her feel happy and feel something, no longer sad or happy, painless or itchy?
