Chapter 211: You Haven't Even Consummated Your Marriage
rted her: "Princess, don't be like this. In fact, the birthmark isn't that unattractive. Don't give up on yourself." 。"Well, it's not very ugly, it's just extremely hideous, utterly disgusting. " 。Oh,..."Sigh, actually, the one who should feel wronged is me. I tried to be kind and let you calm down for a while, but when I came back, all I saw was someone making a decisive departure. Now, I'm even being blamed for it. What a lack of justice!" Shangguan Jinghong leaned closer to her ear, letting out a soft sigh. That warm, tingling breath unconsciously made Xuen Yuan Rongfei's ears flush red.
"Could it be that I misunderstood" Xuan Yuan Rongfei shifted slightly inward, her large eyes flickering with confusion.
"What do you say, my love" He rubbed her snowy neck suggestively, his hand beneath the blanket kneading her bosom lightly but firmly. Shangguan Jinghong's voice was a bit rough.
"I, I'm a little tired, I'm going to sleep." Xuanyuan Rongfei's small face flushed red, and with a turn of her body, she pulled the quilt over herself entirely, wrapping herself tightly like a silkworm.
"Shangguan Jinghong's body was suddenly exposed in the air, completely naked. "
This girl, wrapping herself up so tightly, isn't she suffocating
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Su Qingying was lounging beside a pavilion in the back garden of the Prince's Mansion, peacefully feeding the goldfish in the pond. She glanced at the sky and said, "Time is almost up, Tianyu, it's time for you to go to the palace. Don't forget to bring a white handkerchief stained with blood."
"Alright, wait for my good news." Tucking the handkerchief that had been prepared beforehand into his bosom, Zhao Tianyu waved his hand and directly got into a carriage to head towards the palace.
In the palace, Zhao Jin was just about to have a meal when Zhao Tianyu burst into the room, kicking the door open.
"Old man, I'm here. I did as you said and married Xuanyuan Rongfei. Where's the antidote to the Golden Cicada Gu Give it to me!" Zhao Tianyu wasted no time getting straight to the point. He reached out his hand as if he was entitled to it, which made Zhao Jin twitch his eyelids in annoyance.
“I’ve never seen someone so brazenly ask for something. It's truly shameless, he sighed in disbelief.”
"No rush, where's your handkerchief for your wedding night" Zhao Jin glanced at his hand outstretched before her, saying indifferently.
"Here." He pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and laid it flat before him. On the pure white cloth, a single crimson stain stood out starkly.
"By the way, I heard that Princess Xi Ming Jiu has a cloud-shaped birthmark on her right shoulder. Is that true" Zhao Jin only glanced at him and calmly retracted his gaze. He didn't rush to express his opinion, but instead asked him a question that seemed out of place.
Zhao Tianyu was stunned, his back covered in cold sweat.
Damn it! How did he know that He's never seen Xuanyuan Rongfei's body before Psh! If Shangguan Jinghong heard this, she would definitely blow a gasket again.
Noticing his old man's increasingly intense gaze, Zhao Tianyu decided to vaguely pass it off, his eyes darting around. "Um... well, yeah, it's real, and the birthmark is pretty nice looking."
I thought I could get away with it easily, but Zhao Jin's face suddenly darkened. She slammed the table heavily, and a fiery rage consumed her. "Hmph! You little scoundrel, you've gotten bold! You actually dared to deceive me! There wasn't anything on the Ninth Princess's body, I was just testing you with a casual fabrication!"
Zhao Tianyu, stunned by the roar, was left speechless for a long time.
Holy crap! What about trust between people Please cherish our family ties, okay
“You little brat, you haven’t even gotten married yet!” Zhao Jin slapped him hard on the back of the head, her face as dark as charcoal. She glared at him fiercely, wishing she could slap him a few more times to turn him into an idiot.
Since you've seen through me, there's nothing left for me to hide, old man. I will not marry Xuan Yuan Rong Fei, nor will I consummate the marriage with her." Zhao Tian Yu, unable to feign any longer, simply dropped his act and spoke frankly.
"What did you say! Yesterday..." Sensitive to his words, Zhao Jin froze in place.
Shrugging, Zhao Tianyu said honestly, "To tell you the truth, the groom yesterday wasn't me. I had Prince Beiling Shangguan Jinghong disguise himself as me and marry in my place."
"You, unfilial son!" Zhao Jin was struck dumb with shock. His lips trembled with fury, a surge of blood rushed to his head, and his vision darkened.
"Father, Shangguan Jinghong and Xuan Yuan Rongfei are both my friends, not to mention they're in love. How could I possibly ruin their happiness" He was so worried he might choke on his anger and ascend to heaven, Zhao Tianyu hurriedly came over patted his back, helping him calm down. He really didn't understand why Father insisted he had to marry Xuan Yuan Rongfei!
"You! Alas, it's too late to say anything now. Go away, I don't want to see you for the time being." As if aging decades in an instant, Zhao Jin's expression faltered. He pressed his throbbing temples and, gritting his teeth, closed his eyes. Pointing at the door, he ordered him to scram.
This unfortunate son! It's best to just not look at him. Otherwise, he'll sooner or later drive someone mad with anger!
"Father, if you want me to leave, that's fine, but the antidote to the Golden Cicada Gu is very important to me. Could you please give it to me" Seeing him like this, he couldn't bear it. But before he got the antidote for the Golden Cicada Gu, there was nothing he could say or do to leave.
Seeing his persistence in seeking the antidote for the Golden Cicada Gu, Zhao Jin frowned, knowing that he wouldn't give up unless he told him the truth. He sighed helplessly and decided to stop hiding it, “To break the Golden Cicada Gu, you must find the mother gu and kill it. Where would the antidote come from”
This came as a bucket of cold water, piercing his heart. Zhao Tianyu couldn't accept this at all, "What! Impossible! Didn't you promise me just the other day..."
"If I didn't say it this way, would you obediently agree to the marriage" Zhao Jin glared at him with displeasure, rubbing her temples and saying in a soft tone, "Yu'er, do you know why I insist on you marrying Princess Xi Ming Jiu"
After a moment's pause, he didn't expect an answer. The pair of eyes, which appeared cloudy on the surface but were actually shrewd, flashed with a deep hint of apprehension. He said worriedly: "Your elder sister has great ambitions. Now in Nanjiang, more than half of the high-ranking officials have been won over by her. If I don't make plans for you, I fear that one day Nanjiang will be completely controlled by your elder sister. When that happens, do you think she will let you go"
He didn't say it, but that didn't mean he wasn't clear in his mind. Among so many sons and daughters, only this unfortunate son was most to his liking. The throne would only be passed on to him, and only then could he rest assured.
Although their southern regions are renowned for their use of sorcery, they revere the teachings of Qi Huang (referring to ancient Chinese medicine practitioners Qi Bo and Huang Di). They certainly don't practice harmful poisons! He couldn't stand idly by and watch his beloved Southern Region be destroyed by Zhao Ruqing!
"Father Emperor, you..." Zhao Tianyu's heart was shaken, he never expected that he would go to such lengths for him, thinking of him inside and out.
“The reason I arranged for you to marry Princess Xi Ming Jiu is because she is the most beloved younger sister of the current Emperor Xi Ming. If you marry her, it would be like having Xi Ming as your backing. It’s a pity, though, that after all this planning...,” All his painstaking efforts vanished with a sigh.n Li's gaze in the depths of night resembled a tranquil pool, but a fleeting flash of murderous intent passed through them. This woman was practically fearless, repeatedly provoking his limits.Su Qing...
