Chapter 22 Promise a Condition

"Heavenly rules..."

The Empress Dowager seemed to hesitate, looking at her, there was a trace of unbearable in her eyes.

"Jiu'er doesn't understand spiritual cultivation, and is delicate and weak. If he goes to the Forest of Nightmare Beasts, I'm afraid..."

She was on the verge of speaking, hesitating and unable to speak.

The prince chuckled lightly, "Grandmother, those punished by the Nightmare Beast Forest are all guilty people. If Feng Qingjiu is innocent, she will be safe and sound. If she is guilty..."

Looking back at her, a look of disdain quickly flashed across her eyes, "Grandson knows that you are soft-hearted, and you have taken into account your friendship with General Ye for many years, but if she really colludes with foreign thieves and wants to assassinate the seventh brother in exchange for witchcraft , then even if General Ye is alive, he will definitely not tolerate her!"

Without waiting for the Empress Dowager to speak, he continued, "Father, although this Miss Feng has a marriage contract with the son-in-law, the son-in-law will never protect her shortcomings. If she comes out of the forest of nightmare beasts safely, it means that she is indeed It has nothing to do with this matter, and I am willing to accept the crime. If not... then it is God's will pointing the way, and no one can blame me!"

Even if she didn't understand, Feng Qingjiu listened to these words a lot.

Presumably, she was asked to go to the Forest of Nightmare Beasts for a walk, and if she could walk out safely, it meant she was innocent, and if she couldn't, she deserved it.

What nonsense!
Even just looking at the Empress Dowager's face, she knew that the Forest of Nightmare Beasts was not a benign place. Hearing the name, it might be easy to get in and difficult to get out.

What will God give?If there are any poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts inside, if she, a powerless woman, goes in, will she survive?

Furthermore, even if she was lucky enough to avoid those terrifying things and didn't encounter any attacking things, how could the prince give up such an opportunity so easily, as long as he sent a few killers in, wouldn't she be dead? !

This prince is not only sinister, but also vicious to the extreme.

However, having said that, this so-called "rule of heaven" was brought up by someone.

Subconsciously looking at the "instigator", Mu Cangqiong supported his cheek with one hand and covered his lips with the other hand, and yawned with a listless look on his face.

"This..." The emperor paused, looked at Feng Qingjiu and said, "Feng Qingjiu, what do you do? Do you bow your head and confess your sin now, so as not to suffer more, or choose to enter the forest of nightmare beasts?"

"My daughter is innocent, how can I plead guilty!" She raised her head with an air of refusal to admit defeat.

"Then, did you choose Tianru voluntarily?"

With her head held high, Feng Qingjiu looked at the emperor, "My daughter is willing to choose the rules of heaven and enter the forest of nightmare beasts, but if my daughter returns safely, can the emperor agree to my daughter's condition?"

"Presumptuous!" Mu Yunchao scolded, "Who do you think you are, a prisoner, what right do you have to raise conditions with your father!"

"His Royal Highness, I have not pleaded guilty, and I am willing to choose Tianrui. Under the circumstances that have not yet been determined, I am only a suspect at most. How can I be a prisoner?" A pair of watery eyes looked at him calmly, with an expression neither humble nor overbearing, without the slightest cowardice .

Mu Yunchao just wanted to refute, but she took a step forward and continued to say to the emperor, "Your majesty, although my subjects are humble, they are under the protection of my grandfather. My grandfather also made great contributions to our dynasty when he went to war in the south and north, and I My father was favored by the sage, and he was also granted the title of Marquis of Wu'an, and Feng Mansion's century-old reputation is no longer mentioned. Nowadays, it is relatively small for a courtier's daughter to be insulted, but it is a big matter for the family to be humiliated."

"Those who don't know, think that the holy majesty is easily provoked by traitors, and suspect that my Feng family has two intentions. Monarchs and ministers are jealous, and I am afraid that someone with a heart will take advantage of the loopholes. If the minister and daughter pass the test of the 'rules of heaven', it will prove that In order to clear my innocence, the Holy Majesty grants my minister a wish, why not!"

She said the last sentence while looking at Mu Yunchao, her exquisite chin was raised slightly, the pride on her face seemed to make her whole body glow, and the confidence in her eyes made people want to subdue unconsciously .

Mu Yunchao was in a trance for a moment and felt that she was beautiful!
"There is some truth to what you say."

The emperor's voice brought him back to his senses, he shook his head lightly, and when he looked at her again, it was obviously still the sallow face with faintly emerging blood vessels, his eyes were stained even if he looked at her more, so he hurriedly looked away.

Really, it must be because I'm too tired recently, otherwise why would I think this ugly girl looks good!

"Then what do you want?"

"My daughter, if you can successfully pass the test of the 'rules of heaven', I hope..." Feng Qingjiu raised her eyebrows, and looked sideways in Mu Yunchao's direction, "I hope that the emperor will grant you permission to break off the engagement with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"what?!"

The emperor was taken aback, not expecting her to make such a request.

The Empress Dowager's complexion also changed, and she pressed her palm on the armrest of the seat, but since she had mentioned it before, it was not too surprising, but, she never thought she would bring it up at this time.

In fact, the most surprising thing was the prince himself.

"Feng Qingjiu, do you think such an aggressive method will be useful to me?" Mu Yunchao sneered, "Okay! If you can get out of the forest of beasts, I will break off the engagement with you! Once a word is said, it is hard to follow! "

What she said actually hit his heart.

Originally, he was suffering from being unable to dissolve the engagement, so it was naturally best if she was willing to send it to her door. Although it was her who first proposed it, it would hurt her face, but... that is also on the premise that she can walk out of the forest of nightmare beasts .

As for her, it is impossible for her to escape with her life.

Thinking of this, I feel extremely happy, and I just think how I didn't come up with such a wonderful way earlier, and also saved these troublesome steps.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the proposer who had been silent all this time, only to see that Mu Cangqiong had already fallen asleep.

The emperor was not in good health, and he was a little tired after sitting for so long. He waved his hand and said, "Since there is no dispute, then it's settled. Feng Qingjiu, you go back to the mansion to get ready, and you can enter tomorrow." Forest of Nightmare Beasts, accept the rules of heaven."

"According to the order."

After saluting, she still looked calm and composed.

The Empress Dowager took a deep look at her, sighed silently, and returned to the palace.

There were no people walking above the temple in an instant, so Mu Yunchao walked slowly in front of her, and said sneeringly, "Tangbi also wants to be a car! This palace gave you a chance, you don't cherish it. The Forest of Beasts will leave no bones left."

"His Royal Highness, you are bothering me." She smiled slightly, "His Royal Highness, please prepare a good wine in advance to celebrate the wedding between you and me."

"you--"

Mu Yunchao, who was always being chased and praised aloofly, had never been ridiculed like this, so he gave her a hard look, and left quickly.

Feng Qingjiu turned around and looked at the only man left in the hall, a man who seemed to be asleep.
