The audience was in an uproar, and Ning Chengzhi finally spoke his mind.
Gu Shubai got up and was about to leave his seat, but Gu Huaijiang calmly pulled him back, "Sit down."
He looked at Gu Huaijiang in disbelief, not understanding what kind of mood he used to say the phrase sit down, and what kind of mood he used to face His Majesty's almost naked marriage proposal.
Since ancient times, marriage has been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. The most qualified person to speak for Yufu's marriage is Gu Huaijiang, and everyone's eyes are on him.
Gu Huaijiang was about to get up when he suddenly saw a figure standing up beside him, it was actually Ji Daogong.
That Ji Daogong, who has always kept his mouth shut, seldom took the initiative to say anything in his life. The last time his majesty presided over the overall situation after his assassination, and then today.
He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Today is New Year's Eve, Your Majesty, dare you drink too much? The late Emperor Yukou personally bestowed a marriage on Princess Zhenjiang and the son of Guhou, and the God of Medicine was there at that time. Princess Zhenjiang is the hired daughter. How can I be the next one?"
The corners of Yin Shuo's mouth curled up slightly, and he drank tea by himself, as if he didn't know what happened in the field.
Even Ji Daogong has come forward, I wonder if His Majesty will give him this face
Ning Chengzhi was surprised by Ji Daogong's abnormality, and he refused to let go, "Being engaged is not married, not to mention that the two of them did not exchange engagement gifts after the marriage bestowed by the late emperor, so how can they be regarded as engaged?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need for an exchange of betrothal gifts like folk customs—"
"I don't care!"
Ning Chengzhi waved his sleeves and showed a hostile expression, "If I say it doesn't count, I don't count. Ji Daogong, do you want to resist the order?"
Ji Daogong was stunned, and Gu Huaijiang got up immediately, "Your Majesty, don't be so rude. Mr. Ji is a veteran minister who has gone through three dynasties. Even the late emperor dared not call him by his name directly. How could His Majesty be like this?"
Ning Chengzhi snorted coldly, and didn't even give Gu Huaijiang any face, "You said so, I ascended the throne at a young age, and most of the courtiers are my elders, can't I pay respect to everyone? Or do you want that?" Can I respect you as I did when I was a prince?"
"I dare not."
Gu Huaijiang bowed and cupped his hands, but Ning Chengzhi didn't respond, with a contemptuous smile on his lips.
He refused to accept Gu Huaijiang's pleading, does he have to kneel down
Gu Huaijiang stood up from his seat, Yufu strode forward, helped Gu Huaijiang who was about to kneel down, and said in a low voice: "No, the general! The previous emperor never asked you to perform such a grand ceremony, how can you treat him..."
Gu Huaijiang said: "If kneeling can make you and Shu Bai have a good result, why not me as a father?"
"Of course not!"
Yu Fu turned around and looked at Shangshou, with a loud voice, "Who said that Shizi and I have not exchanged betrothal gifts?"
She walked towards Gu Shubai, stretched out her hand to untie the purse at her waist, thankful that she carried this thing with her, and it came in handy today.
The purse was untied, and inside were two jade rings, which had seven colors upon closer inspection.
Someone exclaimed, "Isn't this a seven-color gem that was born on the border of Xikun?"
"That's right, when Princess Zhenjiang gave a small piece to the late emperor, the late emperor seemed to be overjoyed. These seven-color gemstones are so rare, I don't want to have two such big ones!"
Yu Fu said: "At the beginning, the seven-color gems I presented to the late emperor were picked up by the generals at the Zhushan border. The two jade rings in my hand are the same ones on the Zhushan that I rushed to the army to rescue the poisoned soldiers later. I picked up the position. This not only symbolizes triumph, but also symbolizes the military spirit of the Gu family army. This is the engagement ceremony between me and him."
She handed one of them to Gu Shubai, and the jade jue carried the warmth of her palm, which made people feel warm.
He lowered his eyebrows and looked carefully, the seven-color gemstone he got back then was the size of an egg, but the two jade rings were much smaller, he couldn't help but whisper: "You actually made that seven-color gemstone into this, what about the rest?"
Yu Fu also whispered, "There are six remaining jade rings of the same type, one for each of the general and the elder brothers. The seven-color gemstones symbolize victory. No matter which one of you goes to the battlefield in the future, you will definitely return safely."
It turned out that there was one person in the whole family, and Yufu Jizhongshengzhi used it to make a betrothal ceremony, which really stunned Ning Chengzhi.
She... She actually exchanged betrothal gifts with another man in front of her face
The two whispered as if there was no one else around, and Ning Chengzhi's eyes almost burst into flames.
He wanted to kill Gu Shubai directly like he did Liu Ruyi, as long as Gu Shubai died, Yufu's marriage would not count.
At this moment, Yin Shuo winked at him.
Gu Shubai is not Liu Ruyi, so he cannot be killed.
At least not now.
Gu Huaijiang has relieved part of his military affairs, but the Gu family army is still there. It is the most powerful army in Dongling territory, and no one can compete with it.
Ning Chengzhi's enthronement power is not stable, trying to kill Gu's army's major general at this time is tantamount to forcing them to rebel.
He can't take that risk.
He was so angry that he sat down, "Okay, since that's the case, pull Liu Ruyi out and chop her up!"
From fifty big boards to Bai Ling, and then from Bai Ling to the direct chopping, Ning Chengzhi's anger soared all the way. Poor Liu Ruyi who passed out on the ground was unconscious, but bore his anger for others.
How could Yufu not know that Liu Ruyi was suffering for herself and Gu Shubai
"Your Majesty," she said, "Liu Ruyi's crime is not worthy of death, is it true that Your Majesty will not let her go?"
Ning Chengzhi fixed his eyes on her, "I said, as long as you are willing to be my queen, I will definitely give the queen this face and not kill Liu Ruyi."
Gu Shubai narrowed his eyes slightly, and tightly grasped the seven-color jade ring in his hand.
Yufu is kind-hearted. Although she is a poison fairy, she has the heart of a doctor who hangs the pot to help the world. She will not watch innocent people die for herself.
If you save Liu Ruyi, you will become a queen, if you don't become a queen, Liu Ruyi will die...
Everyone's eyes fell on Yu Fu, and they waited to see how she would choose. For others, the position of empress was unattainable, but for her it was obviously not.
Would she agree to Ning Chengzhi in order to save someone's life
Yu Fu suddenly laughed, the dimples swirled lightly, the smile was sweet and moving.
She was standing in the middle of the hall in plain clothes, and beside her was a tall and handsome man named Sheng Pan An, who was even compared to her smile at this moment.
The whole hall is full of splendor and dimness, only she is as bright as the moonlight.
Her cherry lips parted slightly, "Then—let her die."
An extremely cruel sentence, but Yin Shuo laughed so hard that he almost spit out his tea, Ning Chengzhi looked at him displeased.
Yin Shuo wiped the corner of his mouth and smiled apologetically.
Liu Zhen, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered her jade support in disbelief, and pointed at her with a trembling wrist, "Princess, you, how can you be so cruel?! Although my daughter has offended you, she still has her life! You have the supreme successor!" You can sit, and you can save the little girl’s life by the way, why not follow me?"
Seeing that Yu Fu was ignoring him, he kowtowed desperately to Yu Fu, "Eldest Princess, I beg you, I beg you! Please save my little girl's life!"
The sound of dong dong dong reverberated above the golden hall, and blood splashed everywhere, staining Yufu Subai's embroidered shoes red.
Meng Fei frowned, and was about to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Eunuch Chi.
"Commander, don't go up, His Majesty didn't let you go up."
Meng Fei opened his mouth in surprise, and it took him a while to understand the deep meaning of Chi Gonggong's words, and slowly returned to his original position.
On New Year's Eve, the Golden Palace was spattered with blood, which is not a good omen.
The ministers frowned, and someone tried to persuade Yufu, "Eldest Princess, please promise Your Majesty! Eldest Princess has both ability and political integrity, and has a noble status. Only you can assist Your Majesty!"
"Yes, the eldest princess promises to His Majesty, we will be convinced only if you become the queen!"
Possessing both ability and political integrity, with a distinguished status, is bullshit.
Gu Shubai looked on coldly, those ministers who persuaded Yufu met his gaze and avoided it in shame.
In front of him, he tried to persuade his fiancée to marry someone else. These ministers were really kind. They talked nonsense when they talked about people.
He knew in his heart that these people were either trying to flatter Ning Chengzhi, or because they liked Yufu's character, hoping that she could persuade Ning Chengzhi to be a wise king.
Liu Zhen was still kowtowing.
Yu Fu finally bent down, everyone held their breath—
She bent down, took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve, and wiped off the blood on her embroidered shoes.
Liu Zhen looked up at her in a daze, while Yu Fu looked at the bloody wound on his forehead, without any sense of guilt, "Lord Liu kneeled down to the wrong person, it's His Majesty who wants to kill Miss Liu, what have I to do with it?"
Liu Zhen: "But..."
"But as long as I can promise Your Majesty, Miss Liu will be saved from death. Miss Liu insulted me back then, why should I sacrifice my life's happiness for such a person? I have begged His Majesty for her, and I have done my best. With the utmost benevolence and righteousness, why should I sacrifice my whole life for her?"
Liu Zhen: "You...how could you be so cruel and refuse to save?"
"It's you who are cruel, Lord Liu."
Yu Fu raised his head, and looked at him contemptuously from the corner of his eyes, "At the beginning Miss Liu was punished and was never allowed to enter the palace, I have never seen you begging for a word of kindness for her. Today Master Liu broke his forehead, what is it? For Miss Liu's life, or to take the opportunity to sell it to His Majesty?!"
