Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

Looking up at Huangfu Yi, Ling Ruoyao always had a calm expression, but in a pair of clear eyes, there was determination and unyielding.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing that he had not spoken out, Ling Ruoyao frowned slightly, and said again, "Please allow me, Your Majesty—"

"Enough!" snapped, Huangfu Yi interrupted her with a cold tone that could not be refuted, "You don't have to say any more, I won't agree!"

Let him personally agree to send her to be married?Let him watch her marry another man?How can it be?He couldn't and would never do it!

Huangfu Yi's refusal was also expected by Ling Ruoyao, if he agreed immediately, she would be surprised, and of course she would completely give up.

She didn't feel angry because of his refusal, Ling Ruoyao always looked indifferent, with an elegant and light smile on the corner of her ruddy lips, and her eyes were clear and soft.

However, after being silent for a while, she curled her lips and chuckled lightly, and said mockingly: "It is a great honor for me to receive such reluctance from the emperor, but as the son of heaven, it is natural to care about the people. Can I disregard the whole world because of me alone?"

With his deep phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, Huangfu Yi stared at her sharply, as if he wanted to see a trace of reluctance from her expression.But the result disappointed him.Her expression was extraordinarily determined, as if she would never give up until she reached her goal.

He knew that although her words were all for the sake of the common people, in fact, she was out to punish him and to take revenge on him.

Looking at him calmly, Ling Ruoyao still looked the same, but there was a complex emotion in her heart, and there was a haze in the depths of her eyes.

Her elder brother was beheaded, her family was sent to the frontier, and all of these were done by the person she loved the most.

If she was allowed to stay in this place, she would only resent him even more, and would only live in hatred every day.All that is left for her here is sadness.

She doesn't want to stay here anymore.

"Your Majesty." During the stalemate between the two, an official took a step forward and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice. Now that our army is short of strength, if we continue to fight against the Sky Kingdom, it will only make people miserable, and the casualties will be even worse." Heavy. If we agree to the conditions of the Sky Kingdom, we can make peace with the Sky Kingdom. We can also recuperate and compete with the Sky Kingdom in the future."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Another official stepped forward and echoed, "Think twice, Your Majesty. If the fighting continues, the people of Li and the soldiers on the battlefield will suffer."

Huangfu Yi never spoke, his face was extremely cold, his eyes were slightly narrowed, his eyes were as sharp as a falcon, but his eyes kept falling on Ling Ruoyao.

At this moment, he actually regretted, regretting that he had desperately sat in this supreme position, but found that once he sat in this position, there would be many things that he couldn't help himself.

"Does the emperor really want to ignore the common people?" Ling Ruoyao said again, her tone was also a bit indifferent, "The emperor really wants to become a generation of foolish kings?"

Faint king?Huangfu Yi was taken aback for a moment, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it turned out that in her heart, she saw him like this. .

"I said before that, except for this condition, other conditions are negotiable." Huangfu Yi said, his tone was firm and could not be refuted.

However, at the next moment, Huangfu Yi's eyes widened, filled with disbelief, and said excitedly: "Ruoyao, what are you doing?!"

I saw Ling Ruoyao pulled out the hairpin from her head, put it on her neck, and looked at Huangfu Yi coldly: "If the emperor does not agree, I will die here!"

"you--"

"Ruoyao," Huangfu Yu couldn't help persuading, "What are you doing? Calm down!"

As a bystander, he has no right to ask about the affairs between the two, but he also doesn't want to watch the two of them mess up like this.

"I'm very calm." Ling Ruoyao just glanced at Huangfu Yu lightly, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, please make an order."

"Why?!" Without answering her, Huangfu Yi suddenly asked, "Why did you do this?"

"I just complied with Sky Kingdom's terms of peace."

Huangfu Yi didn't speak any more, but he was engaged in a fierce psychological struggle in his heart, and there was a dignified and tangled expression on his face.

When Ling Ruoyao stepped into the hall and said the first sentence to him, he knew that she had made up her mind.But he just couldn't send her to Gu Shaoyuan with his own hands, he couldn't!

He also knew very well that if the fight with the Sky Kingdom continued, the ones who would be at a disadvantage would be the Cheyuan Kingdom, and the people who would suffer would be the people in the border towns.

As the emperor of one dynasty, he had to consider the people of the world.

What should he do?One side is the duty of being the emperor, and the other is his most beloved person, what should he do to balance the two?

Could it be that you really can't have it both ways?

"Has the emperor not thought it through yet?" Ling Ruoyao became a little impatient, and said again, and the hairpin in her hand moved closer to her neck.

The tactile sensation of the cold and sharp hairpin against her neck was so obvious that she even felt a pain, the hairpin seemed to have pierced her skin.But she can only bear it, if she is not cruel to herself, she will not be able to threaten Huangfu Yi.

"Stop!" Huangfu Yi suddenly became anxious, leaned forward, and reached out to her, as if wanting to snatch the hairpin from her hand, but due to the distance between the two, he could only watch helplessly. .

"If the emperor agrees, I will stop right away." Ling Ruoyao said, with a beautiful smile on her lips, "but if the emperor does not agree..." She tried again, and the hairpin pierced the skin all at once, Immediately, bright red blood trickled out along the hairpin.

"You stop first!"

"You promise me first!"

Huangfu Yi pursed his lips and said nothing, his hands had already clenched into fists, his nails were sunk into his flesh, he didn't realize it, it was just because the pain in his heart had already covered up the pain in his hands.

Everyone looked nervously at the two people who were confronting each other. For a while, the officials who originally wanted to speak did not dare to speak anymore.Just because the atmosphere at this time was too oppressive and dignified, no one dared to break the oppressive atmosphere first.

The three of Huangfuyan also looked at the two nervously and worriedly. They also wanted to step forward to stop Ling Ruoyao, but they were also afraid that if they stepped forward, Ling Ruoyao would really stick the hairpin down their throats.

People, once their heart dies, they will make some decisive things.

Just like Ling Ruoyao at this time.

The first emperor of the second emperor.After a stalemate for a while, Huangfu Yi spoke again, but said helplessly: "You really want to stay away from me like that?"

Facing his eyes full of sadness and reluctance, Ling Ruoyao was stunned for a moment, but only in the blink of an eye, she recovered her indifference and said decisively: "Yes."

A simple word, but like a heavy hammer, hit Huangfu Yi's heart, he only felt a pain in his heart, the pain made his brows furrowed tightly, and he was startled for a while.

After another period of silence, he suddenly curled up his graceful thin lips, and let out a bitter smile. The laughter was heard in everyone's ears, making everyone feel sad for a while.

"Okay, okay." Resisting the sadness welling up in his heart, Huangfu Yi stood up, stepped down the steps, came to Ling Ruoyao, and said word by word in a low voice: "I promise you."

Those four short words exhausted all his strength.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Looking into his hazy eyes, Ling Ruoyao smiled brightly, but immediately turned around, straightened her back, and walked out of the palace with big strides.

Looking at the graceful figure that was going further and further away, Huangfu Yi only felt his nose sore, and a hot liquid seemed to well up in his eye sockets.He quickly took a deep breath and forced back the tears that were about to burst out.

Since forcing her to stay by his side will only make her feel resentful and resentful, and make her unhappy, and she even does not hesitate to threaten her life, then let him go.Instead of watching her commit suicide in front of her, it is better to give her freedom and let her live the life she wants.

It's just that his heart is so painful and so reluctant to give up.He hated him so much, hated that he was not strong enough to destroy the Sky Kingdom in one fell swoop.

***

The bright red sedan chair, the lengthy and spectacular send-off team, and the bustling scenes, in Huangfu Yi's eyes, are so ironic.

During the three months of Ling Ruoyao's disappearance, he was thinking almost every day that if he found her, he would marry her with the most grand and spectacular wedding procession and give her the most luxurious wedding.

But now, he wants to personally send her to the sedan chair and watch her marry someone else.

How ironic, how ridiculous.

With Caizhu's support, Ling Ruoyao, dressed in a bright red wedding dress, appeared in the sight of everyone.

Seeing that bright red figure, Huangfu Yi really wanted to step forward and grab her, not to let her go.As a matter of fact, he really stepped forward, but unfortunately, he was suddenly stopped by Huangfuyan.

"Your Majesty." Shaking his head slightly towards him, Huangfu Yan glanced at Gu Shaoyuan who was waiting at the side, who was the groom.

The hands hidden in the wide sleeves had already clenched into fists, Huangfu Yi gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had no choice but to suppress the resentment in his heart, watching Gu Shaoyuan step forward, supporting Ling Ruoyao, and personally sent her into the sedan chair.

Everything was ready, Gu Shaoyuan came in front of Huangfuyi, raised a smile full of spring breeze towards him, cupped his hands and said: "The emperor keeps his promise so much, I will also follow the agreement and never invade Cheyuan Kingdom again."

His smile, in Huangfu Yi's eyes, is so dazzling.He just gave him a sideways glance, and he said in a cold voice, "That's very good."

He didn't care about his indifference, on the contrary, the more unhappy Huangfu Yi was, the happier he was.Gu Shaoyuan chuckled lightly and said: "It's getting late, and it's time for us to set off. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will treat Ruoyao well. I will make her the happiest woman in the whole world."

After finishing speaking, he laughed loudly, turned around and walked down the stone steps, towards the front of the team, in front of the tall horse.

The spectacular send-off team set off, and the sound of suona, gongs and drums could be heard endlessly, but it filled some people's hearts with hatred and reluctance.

Looking at the sedan chair with a gloomy complexion, Huangfu Yi clenched his teeth, but his steps moved forward little by little.If Huangfuyan hadn't been pulling him, he would have rushed to stop the sedan chair.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Huangfuyan reminded him in a low voice while pulling him all the way, there was unconcealable worry in his words, and there was also a hint of hatred.

calm?How can he be so calm?He watched Ling Ruoyao sit on someone else's sedan chair and wanted to marry someone else, but he was so powerless, he really hated himself!

***

The procession of seeing off the relatives was all the way, but it was full of gongs and drums, very lively.

But Ling Ruoyao, who was sitting in the sedan chair, didn't feel any joy at all, her pretty face covered by the red hijab was already blurred with tears.

She didn't know why she was crying, and she didn't know who the tears were shedding for.She only knew that she felt so uncomfortable in her heart, as if a big hand was holding her heart tightly, which made her startled.

Perhaps, she was happy that she was finally far away from that sad place, so she shed tears.Or maybe it was because she felt sad because she was far away from her most beloved person.

But she can be sure of one thing, she does not regret her decision, nor does she regret sitting on this bridal sedan chair.

After marching for half a month, the welcoming team finally arrived at the imperial city of Sky Kingdom and entered the imperial palace.

The exhaustion along the way made Ling Ruoyao a lot weaker, and her face was pale without any blood.So, as soon as he arrived at the palace, Gu Shaoyuan placed her in the East Palace and asked someone to take good care of her.

After washing off the exhaustion on her body, a burst of sleepiness hit her, and Ling Ruoyao fell asleep under the company of Caizhu.

Fortunately, Caizhu accompanied her along the way, otherwise, she might have suffered even more.

Deep sleepiness, she fell asleep after a while.But in the haze, she felt a big hand touching her cheek, it was so warm.

With a movement in her heart, she didn't open her eyes, but moved her cheek closer to that big hand, greedily enjoying the warmth, and muttered: "Yi..."

The big hand stopped suddenly, and the fingertips were still on her delicate face, but it seemed to have suddenly lost its temperature and became cold.

Gu Shaoyuan narrowed his eyes and stared at her sleeping soundly, with a complex and unwilling look in his eyes, but he regained his calm in an instant.

Now, she has followed him to the Sky Kingdom, and she is about to marry him, and she will soon be his.Although he knew that she didn't have himself in her heart, as long as she was by his side, he was satisfied.

Moreover, he believed that one day, he would walk into her heart and drive out the person in her heart.

While drowsy, Ling Ruoyao suddenly felt a warm and soft touch on her lips, and even a big hand was wantonly brushing away on her body.

The originally deep sleepiness also woke up at this moment. She opened her eyes suddenly, and what she saw was Gu Shaoyuan leaning against her side, rolling on her lips.

Angry in her heart, she suddenly raised her hand to push him away, and slapped him on the face with a raised hand, and curled up in a ball, hugging the quilt, looking at him vigilantly.

Rubbing the slapped cheek, Gu Shaoyuan looked at her in surprise, with anger in his eyes: "You hit me?"

"Who told you to touch me?" Ling Ruoyao also stared at him angrily, and reprimanded sharply, "I warn you, don't touch me!"

"Don't touch you?" As if hearing a good joke, Gu Shaoyuan sneered and said, "You are going to marry me as a princess soon, and I am not allowed to touch you? You will be mine sooner or later! "

"I promised to marry you, but I didn't say that I would allow you to touch me!" Still staring at him angrily, Ling Ruoyao cursed, "Besides, I haven't married you yet! Don't even think about touching me! If you If you dare to touch me again, I will die in front of you immediately!"

"You—" After being stunned for a moment, Gu Shaoyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Don't threaten me with death, I'm not as soft-hearted as Huangfu Yi. You can threaten him with death, but you can never threaten me!"

"That's good, if you dare to touch me again, you will marry a dead man and let a dead man be your princess!" Meeting his sharp gaze without fear, she said decisively.

Seeing that her expression was very decisive, without any hesitation or timidity, Gu Shaoyuan also fell silent.

After a little stalemate, he said in a deep voice: "It's getting late, you should rest early." And he got up and walked out of the palace with big strides.

After Gu Shaoyuan left, Ling Ruoyao suddenly fell down on the bed like a deflated ball, but there was a sad expression on her face, and a sense of sadness welled up in her heart.

Although she voluntarily asked for a marriage and agreed to marry Gu Shaoyuan, she didn't really accept this fact in her heart. In her heart, she still only identified one person. Even if she knew, she would never be able to go back to that person's side.

In this foreign country, all she can do is to protect herself and live a good life.

***

After a day of rest, the wedding came.

After the tedious wedding ceremony was over, she was sent to the wedding room, sitting alone in the wedding room, listening to the noise outside, but she couldn't help but smiled wryly.

She still remembered that when she first married Huangfu Yi, she was waiting in the wedding room like this, waiting for the groom's arrival.At that time, she was extremely reluctant in her heart, but now she is voluntary and willing.

She still remembered how he humiliated her when she married Huangfu Yi, but now when she thinks about it, it seems like a lifetime away, very far away.

And just when she was in a trance, the closed door was suddenly pushed open, and there was a loud noise, accompanied by the sound of messy footsteps.

Ling Ruoyao was startled, knowing that it was Gu Shaoyuan who came, and he seemed to be drunk.

He immediately raised his vigilance in his heart, clasped his hands together nervously, and even his heartbeat couldn't help speeding up.

With the help of the palace maid, Gu Shaoyuan came to the bedside, but suddenly lifted Ling Ruoyao's hijab, so frightened that she suddenly raised her head, and saw him in a daze of drunkenness.

Immediately feeling displeased, Ling Ruoyao turned her head to the side and stopped looking at him, a smear of dissatisfaction also appeared on her pretty face.

Pushing away the maid who was supporting him, Gu Shaoyuan scolded: "You all step back! Don't disturb the prince!"

The maids hurriedly retreated, leaving only two people in the room.

Turning back to look at him, Ling Ruoyao quietly moved to the side, trying to stay away from him.Gu Shaoyuan was drunk, and she didn't know what he would do in a while, so she had better be more vigilant.

However, Gu Shaoyuan swayed and sat on the edge of the bed, sitting next to her, didn't touch her, just sat so quietly.

Ling Ruoyao was full of doubts in her heart, she couldn't help turning her head to look at him, only to find that he was also turning her head to look at her, with a trace of firmness in her still drunken eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't touch you without your consent." With a low voice, he said softly, "As long as I can stay with you, I'm already very satisfied."

An indescribable complex feeling surged in her heart, Ling Ruoyao opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't know what to say: "You are drunk, go to sleep first." As she spoke, she supported him and let him Lying on the bed.

After pulling the quilt over for him, she turned around and was about to go outside, but unexpectedly, he grabbed her wrist.

"Where are you going?" Looking at her nervously, Gu Shaoyuan said anxiously.

Pushing away his hand, Ling Ruoyao sighed and said, "I just went out to get someone to fetch a basin of water, I want to wash my face."

Only then did she let go, Gu Shaoyuan smiled and said, "Don't even think about running away alone. Even if you run away, I will catch you back."

Shaking her head helplessly, she said angrily, "If I wanted to run away, I wouldn't come here with you. Go to sleep, I'll go out first." After finishing speaking, she ignored him, turned around and walked towards Go outside the hall.

There was a smile on the corner of his lips, Gu Shaoyuan didn't think about it any more, just fell asleep with a smile on his face.

After walking out of the palace, Ling Ruoyao originally wanted to find Caizhu and talk to her.But there was no one outside the hall.Come to think of it, maybe Gu Shaoyuan ordered them to leave just now.

Well, let her be alone for a while.

There is a rare moon tonight.In this cold winter day, this round of bright moon is so rare.

Ling Ruoyao walked slowly along the road paved with stone slabs under the moonlight, and gradually, her mood calmed down, and the melancholy of the past few days seemed to disappear at this moment.

She was unfamiliar with this Eastern Palace, and she didn't know where she had come after not long after she left. In addition, it was night, even with the moonlight, she still couldn't see clearly, and for a while, she became a little anxious.

But just as she looked around and was about to go back home, a black shadow suddenly broke into her sight.

On a road not far from her, a figure was carrying a food box, walking quickly towards the front, walking in a hurry, and looking around vigilantly from time to time.

Subconsciously, Ling Ruoyao quickly found a place to hide, but looked at the figure with the same vigilance.

Who is this man?What are you doing with a food box?Still so mysterious, could it be a thief?But don't thieves only steal valuable things?Why are you carrying a food box?

Puzzled in her heart, curiosity surged up immediately, Ling Ruoyao also looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so she tiptoed and followed up cautiously.

Carefully following behind that black shadow all the way, she could only feel her heart beating so fast, thumping, as if she wanted to jump out of her chest, she was so nervous.

But she still tried her best to keep herself calm, staring at the black shadow with blazing eyes, for fear of losing track.

After following the black shadow for a while, she saw the black shadow, stopped in front of a cave, and looked around, scaring her into hiding again.

But after a while, when she poked her head out, the black shadow suddenly disappeared.

Her heart was full of doubts, she hurried to the cave, looked around the cave, and finally cast her sight into the cave.

Come to think of it, that black shadow should have walked into the cave, right?How could there be such a cave in the East Palace?What is hidden in this cave?

Driven by curiosity, she found a place to hide and waited for the man to come out.She didn't know what was in the cave, and the man was still in the cave, so she didn't dare to go in rashly.

So, she decided to wait for the man to leave the cave before she went in to explore.

The waiting time is always so hard, coupled with the deeper dew and the cold wind, Ling Ruoyao only felt that she was about to be frozen, and the man hadn't come out yet.

With her arms folded, she rubbed her arms repeatedly, and kept breathing into her palms, so as not to really freeze herself.

And just when she couldn't wait any longer and was about to leave, and when she came to find out next time, there was finally some movement in the cave, and she ignored the cold, and immediately turned her gaze to the cave.

The person who had entered the cave came out, still holding a food box in his hand. When he came out, he also looked around and walked away as if nothing happened.

After the man had left completely, Ling Ruoyao tiptoed towards the cave, and walked in cautiously while hiding.

The cave is very deep, and the road is not very spacious. It can only accommodate two people walking side by side. On the cave, there are also many oil lamps. The lights are dim, but they can still illuminate the entire cave.

The road was not straight. After turning a few turns, she found that the entire cave suddenly became spacious, and even the lights were brighter, but the road came to an end.

Full of suspicion, Ling Ruoyao slowed down, her heart beating, but she thought, since she has already come here, it would be too bad to go back like this.So, she bit the bullet and walked to the end.

But suddenly, she discovered that there were actually people in this spacious cave!

But he was tied to a cross by someone. He was in a mess, his hair was messy, and his body was dirty.

Startled by this man, Ling Ruoyao exhaled subconsciously, but immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth, and stepped back slowly, as if deciding that if the man raised his head, She ran away immediately.

The man was also frightened by her exclamation, slowly raised his head, and looked towards her through the messy hair, but when he saw her face clearly, he froze for a moment.

Seeing that he really looked at her, Ling Ruoyao was taken aback for a moment, but she came back to her senses in an instant, turned around and was about to walk out of the cave, but she didn't want to, just as she turned around, she heard the man shout: "Ruoyao?! Is it you, Ruoyao?!"

The steps under her feet stopped for a moment, and her heart was full of doubts. Ling Ruoyao froze on the spot, and after a while, she slowly turned around and looked at the man carefully.

The man was tied to the cross, his hair was fluffy and messy, almost covering his entire face, and the clothes on his body were also dirty and torn, as if they had been severely tortured to make the clothes shredded.

"Ruoyao, it's really you, Ruoyao!" The man's emotions became agitated, and he shouted again, with unconcealable joy in his tone.

Frowning tightly, Ling Ruoyao slowly approached that person, still looking at him carefully.It wasn't until she finally walked in front of him that she hesitated and stretched out her hand to brush away the hair that covered his face.

However, when she saw his appearance clearly, she was startled. Bai Xi's face suddenly showed an expression of disbelief, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Brother?! How could it be you?" ?!"

God, how could she see Ling Qinglian in this cave? !Moreover, wasn't Ling Qinglian already executed by Huangfu Yi's order?How is he still alive?

Even if he is really still alive, isn't he and Gu Shaoyuan friends?How could he be tied to a cross and hidden in the cave in the East Palace?

What the hell does this happen?

Ling Ruoyao felt that she was getting more and more confused.

Seeing that she recognized her, Ling Qinglian was also very excited, and even said in a crying voice: "Ruoyao, it's really you, it's really you! I didn't expect that big brother would see you again!"

"Brother, don't cry yet." Seeing him crying with excitement, Ling Ruoyao was frightened, and hurriedly supported him, and said comfortingly, "It's me, it's really me. What's going on? You How did you get tied up here? Who arrested you? Didn't you be beheaded by Huangfu Yi's order?"

"Ruoyao, what are you talking about?" Ling Qinglian also stopped crying, and looked up at her suspiciously, not understanding what she was talking about, "Huangfuyi? Fourth Prince? How could he order me to beheaded? Besides Now, only the emperor can make a decree, how can he make a decree?"

This time it was Ling Ruoyao who was stunned, her delicate brows knit into a ball, and Bai Xi's pretty face showed a look of surprise: "Brother, you don't know what happened? The late emperor has passed away, and now The emperor is the fourth prince. And you... were also beheaded by his decree."

"Ruoyao, what are you talking about?" Ling Qinglian was still full of doubts and could not understand her words. "I have been imprisoned here for a year and a half. How can I know what happened outside? It is even more impossible to be locked up here." He ordered to be beheaded everywhere!"

"Have been imprisoned for a year and a half?!" exclaimed in surprise, Ling Ruoyao was so shocked that she couldn't get any more. For a while, she couldn't recover, "Then...then what about the elder brother I saw before? Who is that? ?!"

If he was really imprisoned for a year and a half, then who was that Ling Qinglian she knew?

Ling Qinglian didn't speak either, she was also in deep thought. After a while, he sighed and said: "I remembered. He found someone to pretend to be me, and he must have let the fake me go back."

"Who are you talking about?" Ling Ruoyao hurriedly asked, but she vaguely guessed it in her heart.

"It's the owner of the East Palace, Ji Shaoyuan." Ling Qinglian said, her tone was very cold, with strong hatred, "I ran away from home in anger, and traveled to the Sky Kingdom half a year later, but I didn't want to fall into Ji Shaoyuan's hands .He arrested me, and asked someone to pretend to be me, and asked me to tell everything about me, including likes and dislikes, and even my birth date. The person pretending to be me has been knowing everything about me for more than a year. When that person came back again, he had become almost the same as me."

"No wonder we didn't realize that it's not you." Ling Ruoyao said with a little thought.

"I was too excited to see you just now, so I didn't think of it. No wonder you feel strange. It's just because the person you saw before is not the real me." Ling Qinglian couldn't help but smiled wryly, " I didn't expect that the anger I left home back then would lead to such a situation."

He opened his mouth, but Ling Ruoyao didn't know what to say.

Originally, she was just a ghost possessed by this body, but she didn't know anything about this body before, so that she knew the fake Ling Qinglian better than the real Ling Qinglian.

He even felt that the fake Ling Qinglian was his good brother.

After being silent for a while, Ling Ruoyao put away the messy thoughts in her heart, looked at Ling Qinglian again and said, "Brother, I will rescue you now." After speaking, she went to untie the rope on Ling Qinglian's body.

"Ruoyao, leave me alone, I have something to ask you." Stopping her movements, Ling Qinglian asked in a deep voice, with a bit of seriousness in her tone.

Stopping the movements of her hands, she came to Ling Qinglian, feeling a little nervous in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Brother, if you have anything to say, just ask."

"Why are you in the palace of Cang Qiong Kingdom? Also, you said that the late emperor had passed away and was succeeded by the Fourth Prince. What happened in the past two years?" Ling Qinglian asked, a little agitated. He seemed to regret that he had been imprisoned for such a long time.

After being silent for a while, Ling Ruoyao sighed softly and said, "I am now the Crown Princess of the Sky Kingdom."

"What?!" Ling Qinglian was stunned immediately, and said in surprise, "You married Ji Shaoyuan?! You—"

"Brother, you are excited first." Taking a step forward, Ling Ruoyao hurriedly said, "Listen to me first."

After being dazed for a while, she began to ramble on, telling him everything that happened after she came to this strange country.

After listening to her narration, Ling Qinglian fell silent, not knowing what to say.Especially from her words, he could hear that her resentment and love for Huangfu Yi also contained resentment towards him.

Moreover, he found that this silly younger sister, whom he didn't like very much before, seemed to have completely changed, and the things he had experienced were also so rich, it was not like what a fool would experience at all.

During the more than a year that he was imprisoned, what he thought of the most was his family, so much so that he even began to miss the silly sister who he didn't like very much at the beginning.

But now, my family members were actually sent into exile by that fake Ling Qinglian.

And all of this is his fault.

If he hadn't left home in a fit of anger, he wouldn't have been caught by Ji Shaoyuan, and naturally there wouldn't have been a fake Ling Qinglian, and the Ling family wouldn't have fallen to such a state.

"It's all my fault!" Ling Qinglian lowered her head and said remorsefully, "It's all my fault. I hurt daddy and you too!"

Feeling sour for a while, Ling Ruoyao stepped forward to support his shoulders, and said comfortingly, "Brother, this is not your fault, you don't need to blame yourself."

"Ruoyao, you don't have to comfort me. If I hadn't run away from home, how could I have given the fake Ling Qinglian an opportunity?"

Choked for a bit, Ling Ruoyao didn't know what to say, so she had no choice but to stop talking, but her eyes dimmed instantly.

That's right, if there is no fake Ling Qinglian, there will naturally be no collaborators and treacherous people, nor will she and Huangfu Yi get into such a fight.

"Ruoyao?" Seeing that her face became ugly, Ling Qinglian called softly, "What's wrong with you? Are you thinking about the emperor?"

Although he didn't know how much she had experienced with Huangfu Yi, he could tell that she loved Huangfu Yi deeply, even though she came here, she still had him in her heart.

"No. I didn't miss him!" Ling Ruoyao immediately denied it, and Ling Ruoyao said firmly, but more, she was talking to herself.

"Ruoyao, you have to be considerate of the emperor. The crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason is a serious crime. The emperor only killed the fake Ling Qinglian, and exiled his father and the others to the frontier. It is already kind. Come to think of it, the emperor did this because of you." Yes, otherwise, I'm afraid that our Ling family has already been executed."

"But can I pretend that nothing happened? My father is already old, how can he stand up to the wind and frost in the frontier?" Ling Ruoyao said unhappily, "Even if he is really merciful, I still can't do it." to be with him!"

"Ruoyao, we were all harmed by Ji Shaoyuan and the fake Ling Qinglian. They are the ones who made us like this." Ling Qinglian said, her tone full of resentment, "Just let the emperor know that the Ling Qinglian he executed is fake Ji Shaoyuan's conspiracy will naturally restore our Ling family's innocence, then will you be able to forgive the emperor?"

Ling Ruoyao fell silent, meditating secretly, and a wave of hope rose in her heart.

She did resent Huangfu Yi and could not forgive him, but now she knew that they were all victims.And just as Ling Qinglian said, if the Ling family is cleared, does that mean they can settle their suspicions?

After being silent for a while, she turned her head to look at Ling Qinglian and said firmly: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to get you out! If you are wronged for a while, stay here!"

"Ruoyao, you have to be careful."

Nodding her head, Ling Ruoyao turned around and walked out of the cave.

Regardless of whether she and Huangfu Yi can get back together in the future, she must wash away the grievances of the Ling family and return the Ling family to innocence!
