"Prime Minister Qin, please accept the order!"

Eunuch Wang's shrill voice sounded, with undisguised sarcasm in his eyes.

Qin Hongzhang's hands were shaking, and he was filled with shock and anger, but he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger, not daring to show any resentment. He knelt on the ground, stood up and took the imperial edict.

"Congratulations, Prime Minister Qin. We'll be leaving now. We still have to go to the Cheng'an Marquis' Mansion to read the imperial edict."

Eunuch Wang flicked the whisk in his hand and left the Qin family with his eunuch. The sarcasm on his face never faded.

Eunuchs like Wang Gonggong were all popular figures in the palace, and they were very good at reading the wind and the eyes. Once upon a time, Wang Gonggong would greet him with a smile and flatter him whenever he saw him, but now he even laughed at him. What did this mean? It meant that the emperor no longer had a good impression of him.

Good, very good.

Everyone laughs at him!

He was a son of a poor family, but he climbed up to the position of prime minister step by step by relying on his own means. He paid so much hardship and suffering, but he never expected that one day he would be left with nothing!

Being disliked by the emperor, his future path will only become more difficult.

The daughter who was placed with high hopes is now given to a poor family.

——Snap.

The more Qin Hongzhang thought about it, the more hateful he became. Seeing Eunuch Wang leave, his face was full of gloom. He turned around and saw Qin Ningyue standing there, and immediately slapped her hard.

"Qin Ningyue, I asked you to go find Prince Yu. What on earth did you do there? Why did the Emperor suddenly decree that you marry the bastard from the Cheng'an Marquis's mansion? Or is there something going on between you and him?"

Qin Hongzhang shouted angrily, his head clouded by anger.

Qin Ningyue was already in a slump of anger over the imperial decree granting her marriage, and was then slapped hard by her father, causing half of her face to swell up. After hearing her father's almost humiliating words, Qin Ningyue could no longer control her trembling and anger.

"Dad, is this how I am in your eyes? You insult me ​​like this! Even if I never marry in my life, I will never look down on that good-for-nothing from the Liu family!! All of this is Qin Wan's revenge. It's her, it must be her! She hates me and our Qin family, so she can't stand seeing anyone in the Qin family get along well!"

Qin Ningyue roared angrily, his eyes red with hatred.

How could Qin Wan be so vicious?

She lowered her status, acted humble in front of her, took the initiative to reconcile and apologize, but she turned around and sent herself into hell!

Qin Hongzhang's nostrils flared, his eyes were gloomy, and his breathing was much heavier because of anger.

"What are you going to do now?"

After a long time, Qin Hongzhang took a deep breath, calmed himself down, looked at his legitimate daughter and asked.

Qin Ningyue gritted her teeth. What could she do? What could she do? Could she disobey the emperor's order?

But if she married Liu Chengfeng, her life would be ruined. Moreover, considering Qin Wan's dislike for her, how could she have an easy life in the future?

Originally, she planned to protect herself and marry Yang Qi, but even so, Qin Wan would not let her go!

hatred!

hatred!

Hatred and anger surged to the sky.

Qin Ningyue gritted her teeth and said word by word, "I'll go find Feng Ling and ask if this is what he meant! If Qin Wan wants to kill me, it won't be that easy. The worst that can happen is that both of us will perish!"

Qin Ningyue said this viciously, and without even looking at Qin Hongzhang's expression, she turned around and ran out of the house, all the way to Prince Yu's Mansion. When she arrived at the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion, she looked at the tightly closed door, and when the wind blew, Qin Ningyue regained some consciousness.

What is she doing?

Even if she met Feng Ling, what could she possibly ask? Could she still expect Feng Ling to stand on her side?

But now, what else can she do except looking for Feng Ling?

Just as Qin Ningyue was standing there with her head full of hatred, anger and confusion, she saw the gate of Prince Yu's mansion suddenly open, and then a man walked out and walked towards her. Qin Ningyue subconsciously took a step back and subconsciously wanted to hide, but the cold-faced guard had already stood in front of her. It was Prince Yu's close subordinate, Zhong Wu.

Once upon a time, I was extremely respectful to her.

now……

"Miss Qin, the prince invites you."

Qin Ningyue pursed her lips tightly, knowing that she had been under surveillance from the moment she appeared at the door of Prince Yu's Mansion.

"good."

Qin Ningyue straightened her back to make herself look less embarrassed, and then took the lead to step into Prince Yu's Mansion.

No matter what, her lie was not exposed, and she was still Feng Ling's savior, so she didn't need to show any fear!

After entering Prince Yu's Mansion, Qin Ningyue was taken to the central courtyard. She was a little dazed because many places in Prince Yu's Mansion had changed. Along the way, she could see many precious flowers and plants transplanted and planted in the flower beds, and even the courtyard was being renovated. Previously, Prince Yu's Mansion caught fire and burned down several houses, and now they were all rebuilt.

Yes.

How could she forget?

Feng Ling is going to marry Qin Wan and give her a grand wedding.

Her heart was becoming increasingly bitter and uncomfortable. If she had not chosen to cancel the engagement, would she have become Princess Yu by now, enjoying the love and favor of countless people?

"Master, Miss Qin is here."

Just as she was immersed in regretful thoughts, Zhong Wu's voice rang out. Qin Ningyue raised her head and saw that she was standing in front of a pavilion. Inside the pavilion, Feng Ling was dressed in purple, with a tall body like jade and a handsome face. He lowered his head and sat on a stone chair, holding a carving knife in his hand and carving something with great effort.

He didn't look up when he heard Zhong Wu's voice. The sunlight outside the pavilion shone in, and a ray of it hit his body, reflecting a pair of unique colors in the world. His face was clear and beautiful, and the contours of his eyebrows and eyes, and his facial features were all exquisitely carved. She seemed to see Feng Ling when she first met him four years ago.

My heart suddenly started to ache, like being pricked by needles.

It seemed that at this moment, at this instant, Qin Ningyue suddenly understood clearly what an outstanding, handsome and unique man she had lost.

Once, it was within reach.

Now, it’s out of reach.

My eyes were sore, and heavy regret and grievances surged into my heart and eyes.

Her eyes suddenly turned red.

At this moment, Feng Ling seemed to have finally finished carving an important stroke. He raised his head and looked at Qin Ningyue. In just a moment, his brows furrowed, and impatience flashed in his eyes. "Qin Ningyue, I'm reporting that you've been wandering outside Prince Yu's Mansion. Is there something wrong?"

He asked, his tone cold, without any trace of the gentleness he once had.

There was a dull pain in my heart, and my lips moved, but I didn't say a word.

After a long while, she choked out, "A Ling, I..."

Before he could finish his words, Feng Ling glanced at him with a cold look, which scared Qin Ningyue so much that he stopped talking. He didn't like her calling him A Ling.

Qin Ningyue bit her lip, tears forming in her eyes, and she felt anguish in her heart. She finally changed her words, "Your Highness, the Emperor has granted me a marriage. He wants me to marry Liu Chengfeng, the illegitimate son of the Marquis of Cheng'an. Are you aware of this?"
