"I will never marry the prince!"
"You!" The prime minister also didn't expect that his daughter, who had always been docile, would suddenly change his temper. His face was ashen, he pointed at Zeng Huan'er and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Seeing that he was so angry, Mrs. Wang on the side quickly handed him a cup of tea and comforted him softly: "Master, please don't be angry. I'm afraid Huan'er didn't understand it for a while, and maybe he will change his mind after a while."
"Huan'er, don't be angry with your father, he is doing it for your own good too!"
"If it's really for my own good, you shouldn't force me to marry that prince! Who in Tianyu doesn't know what kind of temper the prince is. The Prime Minister really loves his daughter, and he wants to push her into that pit of fire!" Zeng Huan'er Looking at the prime minister in front of her, her father, smiled mockingly.
Although she had always known that the Prime Minister was unhappy with her, Zeng Huan'er's heart still ached dullly.
The prime minister, who had already calmed down a little, was so angry that he threw out the teacup in his hand when he heard these sarcastic words. The teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, but no one paid attention to it.
"Rebellious girl!" The Prime Minister swore angrily, trembling all over, and became even more angry. After a while, he seemed to remember something and sneered.
"I'm not here to ask for your opinion, I'm just here to tell you about this matter. Let me tell you clearly, you have to get married even if you don't want to marry!" After saying that, the Prime Minister snorted coldly and walked away with a flick of his sleeves. go. Wang family also left accordingly.
Zeng Huan'er watched the two people leave before revealing her hidden vulnerability. She fell on the table and cried.
"Miss, you clearly know what kind of temper I have. Since I have decided to marry you to the prince, you will marry the prince no matter what. Then why do you still want to disobey me?" Xiaocui caressed Zeng with distress. Huan'er's back asked in confusion.
"I know my father won't give up on this marriage just because I don't want to." Zeng Huan'er's eyes were red, "But I just can't let him go..."
That day passed by in a hurry, and I didn't even know that person's name, so I lost my heart. Zeng Huan'er never regretted it.
But as the prime minister said, he just came to inform her. Zeng Huan'er was imprisoned by the Prime Minister, and in a few days, she was going to marry the prince Leng Wenbin.
The wedding day soon came, and Zeng Huan'er got up very early on this day. She seemed to have given up her resistance and allowed herself to be manipulated by the maids sent by the prime minister. This really made the Prime Minister breathe a sigh of relief.
After everything was completed, Zeng Huan'er excused herself and transferred all the maids, including Xiao Cui, and sat alone in the boudoir. Zeng Huan'er, who was wearing a fiery red wedding dress, was very beautiful. Her pink face and red lips, and her gorgeous makeup made her a little more charming than usual.
Looking at the packet of medicinal powder tightly clutched in her hand, Zeng Huan'er's eyes were filled with determination. She took the drug she had prepared without hesitation.
If there is an afterlife... I would like to meet you again... Zeng Huan'er shed tears and gradually lost consciousness.
When Xiaocui came back, he found his young lady lying motionless on the bed.
She shouted in horror: "Someone is coming! Something happened to the lady!!!"
…
"I heard that the prime minister's daughter was unwilling to marry the prince and intended to commit suicide by taking medicine?" Miao Anyun seemed to have mentioned the matter accidentally.
Seeing him mention this matter, Leng Hanxuan's eyes darkened, but he nodded indifferently: "It is true."
He had never seen Xiu Yuan care so much about a person, and it was also a woman.
Leng Hanxuan knew that Miao Anyun met Zeng Huan'er that day during the Lantern Festival. If Miao Anyun was really a woman as he thought before, he would naturally not care about it. But Miao Anyun was a man, which gave him some bad associations.
As for how he knew Miao Anyun's identity as a man? Miao Anyun never thought of hiding it from him. And it was only when he was still young that Leng Hanxuan misunderstood Miao Anyun's gender. After being a few years older, Leng Hanxuan could no longer mistake Miao Anyun for a woman.
Miao Anyun didn't say anything. The act of quietly flipping through the books in his hand made Leng Hanxuan, who was secretly paying attention to his reaction, feel relieved.
It seems that Xiu Yuan really just mentioned it casually. Leng Hanxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
————
Leng Hanxuan is very busy these days, and Miao Anyun has not seen him for several days. However, this had no impact on him. He stayed in the Star Observation Hall and read those miscellaneous books as always.
Miao Anyun, who was reading a history book intently, suddenly frowned and raised his head. He heard a familiar voice.
"Where is this?"
"Your Highness the Crown Princess, ahead is the Star Observation Hall of the Imperial Preceptor. Your Highness, please do not go any further. The Imperial Preceptor does not like to be disturbed by others."
"What if I insist on going?"
"this… "
The two stopped and talked outside the Star Observation Hall. Miao Anyun stood up and decided to go out and take a look.
As soon as he left the palace, Miao Anyun saw a woman wearing a gorgeous palace dress with a beautiful and soft face looking at his star-gazing hall with interest. Seeing him coming out, a look of surprise flashed across the woman's big apricot eyes.
The maid next to the woman saw Miao Anyun and saluted quickly: "See you, Master!"
Is this person the national master of Tianyu Kingdom? It is quite different from the image of the white-haired old man in my imagination. Although he has white hair, he looks like a young man, wearing white clothes and looking indifferent. Li Yingqin looked up and down at the Imperial Master in front of him.
Is this the girl who lost the silk handkerchief on the day of the Lantern Festival? Miao Anyun was a little surprised. Combined with the title of Crown Princess that she heard before, there is nothing else that Miao Anyun doesn't understand. It turns out that the woman he met by chance at the Lantern Festival was Zeng Huan'er, the prime minister's legitimate daughter.
The flash of surprise on Miao Anyun's face was caught by Li Yingqin. She turned away from the palace maid, and then asked with a smile: "Have you ever seen me, Master Imperial Master?"
"No." Miao Anyun lowered the look in his eyes, and his voice was cold and distant. "If nothing happens to Your Highness the Crown Princess, please leave as soon as possible."
"But I disturbed the purity of the Imperial Master?" Even though he said this, Li Yingqin still smiled brightly.
"Your Highness is serious."
"In that case, why don't you, Master Imperial Master, invite me to sit in the palace?"
"..." Miao Anyun frowned. He didn't like letting anyone except Leng Hanxuan enter his palace. So he refused and said, "Your Highness, please respect yourself."
"I heard that the Imperial Master is pure-hearted, could he still take advantage of me?" The interest in Li Yingqin's eyes became even stronger. She is not a native of this world, so she naturally has no respect for the Imperial Master.
"..." After a moment of silence, Miao Anyun had no choice but to agree to let Li Yingqin enter the Star Observation Hall. "Then please invite me, Your Highness."
Just as Li Yingqin was about to enter the Star Observation Hall, someone from the palace came over to inform her that the prince was looking for her, so she had to give up regretfully. She glanced at Miao Anyun and left before leaving, "I'll come back to look for the Imperial Master tomorrow."
So after that, Miao Anyun saw Li Yingqin who reported in on time every day. However, there would always be "accidents" like this that prevented Li Yingqin from entering the Star Observation Hall smoothly. Li Yingqin seemed to be getting braver with each battle, running more diligently to the Star Observation Hall.
The jealous prince showed no reaction to his princess's frequent visits to the Star Observation Hall, as if she was tripped up by something.
Naturally, Miao Anyun would not think that there was such a coincidence. But he was also happy that Li Yingqin didn't have time to come to him.
Recently, a big event happened in the palace.
After winter came, the emperor's previously healthy body suddenly collapsed. Within a month, he became seriously ill. All the princes therefore stayed by the emperor's side. Even Li Yingqin, as the crown prince, no longer had time to harass Miao Anyun.
Hall of Supreme Harmony
Miao Anyun sat quietly aside, watching the imperial doctors diagnosing the pulse of the ashen emperor on the dragon bed.
"Is my disease incurable?" the emperor asked after the pulse diagnosis.
"This..." The doctors looked at each other, not knowing how to speak.
In the end, it was Dr. Li who was the eldest and best at medical skills who opened the opening.
"I'm afraid I can't do anything about the emperor's illness. I'm punished by death..." The white-haired doctor Li knelt down tremblingly, and the other doctors also knelt down on the ground dripping with sweat.
"That's all." The emperor closed his eyes tiredly, without any intention of blaming him, "How long can I last?"
"I'm afraid... I'm afraid I won't be able to survive today." Dr. Li was trembling all over.
"I still need a few more days. Is there anything the Imperial Master can do?" The emperor's eyes turned to Miao Anyun. This is also the reason why Miao Anyun was called.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, how many more days are needed?" Miao Anyun frowned and asked.
"Three days. I need at least three more days! I wonder if the Imperial Master can do it?" The emperor looked at Miao Anyun with burning eyes.
"..." Miao Anyun pondered for a long time and nodded, "Yes."
————
After performing the spell on the emperor, Miao Anyun returned to the Star Observation Hall in a daze. His vision went dark and he felt extremely tired and fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.
At midnight, a figure in black flashed into the Star Observation Hall. He stood beside Miao Anyun's bed and looked at the sleeping person on the bed. Miao Anyun slept very deeply tonight, and she probably wouldn't wake up no matter what.
The man in black stretched out his hand and gently touched Miao Anyun's pale face, with distress in his eyes. His eyes suddenly fell on the bloodless lips, and he kissed them as if he was confused.
The very gentle kiss was filled with pity and caution. It didn't go deep, but it was extremely gentle. Miao Anyun knew nothing about this in his sleep.
The man in black glanced at Miao Anyun on the bed again and left.
