Shocking Harem Road: The Legend of Concubine Yi

Chapter 114 The Real Enemy 2
In the Jinghua Palace, the lights were still brightly lit. Ming Xuanyu came back from the Leshan Hall where the Empress Dowager lived, walked into the main hall, and seemed to see her figure in a trance, reading under the lamp.He suddenly walked two steps quickly, but found that there was nothing, so he called Zhang De to come over and serve him to rest.

Unexpectedly, time passed so quickly, she came suddenly, and then left suddenly.

It is really not easy to adapt to life without her.

These few days are more difficult than those months when she left.At that time, he knew that she would definitely come back to him, but now, would she come back?She must be hating him!Maybe, maybe she had forgotten him.

He flipped through the book, but what he saw was her appearance, crying and laughing, talking back to himself, all the past seemed to be written in the book.He sighed and closed the book, as long as she is safe, as long as Xuan Ting can make her happy!

Sometimes, letting go of a person may be the best arrangement for her!
The night is getting deeper.

At some point, the sky began to snow again.

The next day was New Year's Eve, and Prince Yi's Mansion was already full of excitement. Even the courtyard where Xinyi lived had posted new couplets and hung red lanterns.

Ming Xuanting originally didn't intend to go to Xiyuan, but Xinyi persuaded him for a long time before agreeing to go.At noon, all the side rooms of Prince Yi's mansion had lunch with him, and in the evening, Ye Minxu was in charge of arranging the reunion dinner.Xinyi stayed in the house all the time, unable to go out.

Xinyi didn't know that at the New Year's Eve dinner in Xiyuan, the Empress Dowager solemnly proposed Xuan Ting's marriage for the first time and asked his opinion.

He looked at his elder brother who was sitting on the right seat, the two brothers were relatively silent.

"I heard that there is already a prospect. I wonder who the lord is looking for?" the queen asked.

Xuan Ting bowed and saluted, "I don't know how to make a decision on this matter, but Grandma Huang and Brother Huang have to decide!"

Seeing that the emperor did not speak, the Empress Dowager smiled and said to Xuan Ting: "Marriage is a major event, and you have to find out by yourself! However, there is no rush, you take your time to think about it!"

Xuan Ting saluted and thanked him.

Ming Xuanyu looked at his younger brother, he was no longer joking like he used to be, but it made people feel a lot more stable.When did my younger brother become like this?
Before the banquet was over, Xuan Ting left, and Ming Xuanyu watched his younger brother leave without saying a word.

Xuanting walked out of the Hanqiu hall, but was stopped by a person. He turned his head and thought for a long time before he remembered that she was Lin Yuhan, the beautiful girl Xinyi helped back then.

"Lin Cairen, what's the matter?" He asked.

Lin Yuhan blessed her body, and then asked: "My lord, I don't know, I don't know Sister Zhuang, what's wrong with her?"

Xuan Ting couldn't help but feel happy, so there are still people who care about her!Then he replied: "As long as you take care of it slowly, it will be fine! Thank you Lin Cairen for your concern!"

Lin Yuhan was blessed again, and asked: "My lord, I heard, I heard that you intend to marry her, don't you?"

Although more than half a year has passed, Lin Yuhan is still the same as before!

Xuan Ting smiled and said, "This king hasn't decided yet! I don't know if Lin Cairen—"

"My lord, if you really like her, cherish her! Sister Zhuang, she is really a very good person!" Lin Yuhan panicked and interrupted him, "It's not easy for her, my lord, please You!" Lin Yuhan knelt down in front of him with a plop.

Xuan Ting hurriedly stretched out his hand, but he couldn't help her, so he cupped his hands and said, "Lin Cairen, please get up! I thank you for your affection for her!"

Lin Yuhan got up to return the salute, Xuan Ting said: "Lin Cairen, this king will take good care of her, take care of yourself!" After finishing speaking, Xuan Ting turned and left, Lin Yuhan sent her off with blessings.

When Xuan Ting returned home, Xinyi had already fallen asleep, so he sat in her room for a while and then left.

The new year has quietly arrived amidst people's worries!
Xiyuan is still the same as every year, eating, watching plays and chatting, and there are no other activities.Ming Xuanyu was also the same as in the past, accepting worship, speaking official words, and doing the same things step by step.Only those close to him know that he has changed, but he has been disguising himself, just like in the past.

Xinyi still stays in the house, reading or chatting or resting, slowly recovering from her injuries.

Everything was as usual, but that night, an unexpected person came to Xinyi's room.

"It is estimated that King Yi will propose marriage to you soon, and the higher-ups want you to accept his request!" It was none other than Wuchen who came.

Xinyi didn't expect that the organization would continue to order her, but why, why did she agree to the proposal?And, moreover, will Wang Yi really propose?
"There are many people in the court who want to support King Yi as the crown prince, and we cannot let other people be the princess! Do you understand?" Wu Chen said.

Xinyi said nothing.

Wu Chen was silent for a moment, then took out a red pill from his bosom and handed it to her.

"What? Do you want to poison me?" She asked with a sneer.

Wu Chen ignored her ridicule, opened her mouth, and let her swallow it. She was about to scold him, but he covered her mouth and said: "This pill is useful for your injury, not poison! You Did you forget that Eunuch Nian also gave it to you? However, this medicine of mine is more effective than that medicine, and it will make your injury recover soon!"

Xinyi glared at Wu Chen fiercely, Wu Chen let go of his hand, and said, "Your poison, I was only ordered to do so."

"What about the antidote?" she asked.

"There is someone in the organization who is responsible for preparing poison and antidote, I don't know who it is!"

"Shameless!" She turned her head not to look at him.

Wuchen stood with his hands behind his back and said: "Ziqing, I have already transferred him to me." Xinyi stared at him in disbelief, Wuchen continued: "No one can disobey the order of the organization! You or Be obedient, otherwise, they will attack you. As for your antidote, I will find a way to find it. Xinyi, don't throw away your life casually, you still have a younger brother!" After finishing speaking, Wuchen left, only Leaving Xinyi staring blankly at the empty room.

Wuchen, he, him, what's going on?

Although Xinyi didn't believe that he would give her the antidote, because he was ordered to come here, and he knew very well that once she got the antidote, she might not obey their orders.But he really tuned himself in, just like what he said last time at Huangze Temple.

Now, Wu Chen is not something she should worry about. What she doesn't understand is, first, will Ming Xuanting really propose?It is impossible for him to be ignorant of what happened to her. If he knew, would he still be willing to marry her?In her opinion, his care for her now is the limit of her imagination. It is impossible for him to marry a woman like her without marrying a lady from a famous family.Second, why did the organization ask her to marry Ming Xuanting?The goal of the organization has always been the emperor, why is it now turned to Yi Wang?Could it be that King Yi really has a chance to inherit the throne?But, the emperor can have offspring!Alas, she is a little confused now.However, she is very clear about one thing, that is, "no benefit, no early return", those people must be aiming at the benefits that King Yi may bring them.

Princess Yi?me?

How could Xuan Ting treat her, never leave her, how could she not understand his heart.But, but—

A few days later, it was the Lantern Festival, and Xuan Ting took her out to watch the lanterns.Since she could not walk, she sat in a carriage.Maybe it was because she hadn't gone out for a long time, she looked very excited, she raised the curtains and looked outside, while he sat aside, looked at her with a smile, and listened to her talk.

The past she really came back!

The excitement in his heart could not be restrained!
One after another fireworks were blooming in the sky above her head, she clapped her hands happily like a child, and turned around to tell him to watch it too.At that moment, Xuan Ting's heart was filled with warm affection, maybe, maybe, such simple happiness is what he wants!

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and she dodged backwards, fearing that she would be hurt, he quickly stretched out his arms to wrap her around her, and she just fell into his arms like that.She turned around, and his face came into her eyes.As if time had stopped, they stared at each other and saw the person in their eyes clearly.

The carriage began to move forward slowly again.

He gradually hugged her tighter, lowered his head slowly, and approached her lips.His facial features gradually enlarged, and she suddenly became frightened and lowered her head.

Aware of her rejection, he smiled wryly, kissed her forehead lightly, but did not let her go.

She didn't know what to do, so she just lay in his arms like that.He just hugged her so quietly, silent.

Outside the carriage, there were people coming and going, and fireworks were blooming in the sky from time to time, only the inside of the carriage was quiet.

"Xin'er," he suddenly called softly, and her heart beat faster.

"Hmm!" I'm already used to being called that by him now!

He took her hand, "marry me, will you?"

Her head suddenly buzzed, and she dared not move.

"Xin'er, will you be my wife? Be my Ming Xuanting's wife, will you?" He said it again.

She never answered.

He hugged her and rubbed against her ear: "Xin'er, I really love you, please promise me, okay?"

Her face became very hot, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't speak anything.

Then, he didn't speak any more, just hugged her.

It would be false to say that she has no feelings for him, but she is very clear that such feelings are not the kind of love between men and women.The heart can't deceive people. She thought that these days could make her forget that person and the past, but the more she wanted to forget, the more she couldn't forget.As long as the mind is idle, it will be completely filled with his figure.

But, how can I hurt the person who loves me so much?

The person who loves me, and the person I love, why aren't they alone?

After a long silence, she asked, "My lord, do you know why I was beaten by Zhou Ming?"

He nodded.

"Then you know, you know," she swallowed the words, but since he proposed marriage, then these words should still be told to him.

She turned her head, stared into his eyes, and said, "When I was beaten, actually, actually," she still couldn't say.

He held her hand with a smile, stroked her face, and said, "I know, that child," he also choked up, but continued, "That child belongs to Brother Huang, right?"

Her tears welled up suddenly, and he wiped them away with a smile.

"You have suffered so much, how can I have the heart to hurt you again? Let the past go!"

Her tears still couldn't stop.

"Since I love you, I must accept all of you, including your past!"

His smile was so warm and gentle, she couldn't control her emotions, lowered her head and began to cry.

"Xin'er, promise me! Please give me a chance to love you for a lifetime!"

Her tears stained his clothes and could not stop for a long time.

The next day, Ming Xuanting went to Xiyuan to meet the Empress Dowager, and begged the Empress Dowager to allow him to marry Xinyi. Zhezi asked for an order to marry you, you are his brother, how can you get married without his order?"

Xuan Ting hesitated, he was not sure whether his brother would agree.

"Don't worry! He will give you a marriage!" The Empress Dowager smiled, but then said, "When the bride does not have a natal family to marry, you have to find her a natal family!"

"Grandma, there's no need to make a fuss, as long as we pay our respects!" Xuan Ting said hastily.

The Empress Dowager thought for a while, and said: "This is etiquette, how can you be hasty?" She said to Hong Shanggong: "When the emperor's order is made later, you can go to the British government to talk about it and let them recognize Xinyi. The concubine of our little six must come from a famous family, otherwise, won't outsiders see the joke?"

Xuan Ting also knew that what he said was useless, there was no need to care about these trivial matters.Since grandma is so supportive, there shouldn't be any problems with the emperor, right?

With such a disturbed mood, Xuanting went home and solemnly wrote a memorial requesting for a marriage.

When Ming Xuanyu received his younger brother's memorial, it was already the twentieth of the first lunar month, and Xinyi had been away for more than a month.

He didn't expect Xuan Ting to request the order so soon, could it be that she agreed?
The most painful scar in my heart is still bleeding, but now, the crack is deeper.

He opened and closed the memorial, closed and opened again, the writing was completely official, but it pierced his heart deeply.

Perhaps, from the day she left, he should have thought that he would face this problem sooner or later.

The pen in his hand trembled constantly, the tip of the pen touched the paper and was raised again, then sank again, and then raised again.

Throwing the pen on the table, reading his younger brother's memorial over and over again, gradually, his eyes blurred.
