Chapter 287 Divorce Letter
When Xie Yunche touched the cold blade, his pupils trembled with fear and he didn't dare to pick up the knife for a long time.
Chu Chu, who was kneeling on the ground, was so frightened that her face turned pale, tears welling up in her eyes, "Xie Lang...you can't kill me...I'm carrying your own flesh and blood."
She stroked her bulging pregnant belly with both hands, looking at it softly and it was particularly glaring.
Seeing Xie Yunche hesitantly reaching out his hand, yet unable to bear to pick up the knife, Duan Rou's cold eyes were filled with disappointment as she sneered, "What? Can't bear to do it?"
"It seems that your love for me is just this much."
“No…” Xie Yunche shook his head, looking at Duan Rou with red eyes, “Princess, she is pregnant with my child. The child is innocent. Please let him live.”
Duan Rou felt a bit more hatred in addition to her disappointment with the man in front of her.
She just wanted to test Xie Yunche one last time, but he couldn't stand the test.
He always said that offspring were not important, but in fact, for him, blood ties were more important than anything else.
Duan Rou pulled out a piece of rice paper from under the sandalwood bookcase, threw it at Xie Yunche's feet, and said resolutely, "If that's the case, put your handprint on the divorce letter and get out of the princess's mansion immediately."
Xie Yunche looked at the divorce letter on the ground and his face turned pale. "You want to divorce me?"
He looked at Duan Rou in astonishment: "In this world, only men can divorce women, how can women divorce men?"
"Really?" Duan Rou raised her eyebrows slightly, and said coldly, "Then I will let you see the truth of a woman divorcing a man."
After saying that, she stood up and said, "Come here, drag the prince consort and the irrelevant people out. If the prince consort doesn't press his fingerprints, beat him until he presses them."
Duan Rou gave an order and several guards immediately stepped forward, carried Xie Yunche and dragged him out.
Xie Yunche couldn't believe that his wife, who had been with him for ten years, could be so cold-blooded and heartless at this moment. He struggled to break free from the guards, threw himself at Duan Rou's feet, tugged at her sleeve and begged bitterly, "Duan Rou, I was wrong. Can you give me another chance?"
"I will definitely handle this matter and give you a satisfactory answer."
"For the sake of our many years of marriage, and for the sake of my obedience and deep love for you over the years, will you please forgive me this time?"
He understood that once this matter got out.
His future and reputation would be ruined, and the Xie family would be implicated. By then, even his aunt, the queen, might not be able to save him.
He can't leave Duanrou, and he can't live without Duanrou.
However, when Duanrou heard the words "deep love", she felt sick.
"Deep love?" Duan Rou sneered coldly.
"Your deep affection means you're saying sweet nothings to me in front of me, but secretly having an affair with someone else and getting pregnant?"
She yanked away Xie Yunche's clutched sleeve, the candlelight illuminating the coldness in her eyes. "Xie Yunche, if you continue to pester me, I will not let this bitch and her unborn child off easily."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yunche dropped his hands stiffly.
Seeing Duan Rou so ruthless and resolute, his lips trembled with sorrow, "Duan Rou, you have always been like this these years. In front of others, you act like a virtuous and kind girl, and when you return home, you act like a princess! If my mother or I do anything that displeases you, you turn cold."
A tear welled up in his red eyes. "To put it nicely, I'm your consort. To put it bluntly, I'm just a dog raised by you, Princess Duanrou. Ten years! For these ten years, I've carefully served you, even having to observe your words and expressions when you took a breath. I get tired too! I'm a man too, and I need an understanding woman, a woman who knows how to care for me!"
Duan Rou's throat suddenly choked, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
I thought that his gentleness and consideration were all love.
But he never thought that it was all a mask he was forcing himself to maintain.
Ten years of love only resulted in one word: tired.
Her eyes were bloodshot as she stared at Xie Yunche's hypocritical face.
At this moment, she wanted to draw out her sword and cut open Xie Yunche's chest to see what kind of heart could turn ten years of love into a sharp blade and cut her heart to pieces!
However, having been trained in royal discipline since childhood, she knew that this was not the way to go.
This would be disadvantageous to himself, Xiao Heng, and the Queen.
She took a deep breath and said slowly, "I've wronged you, my good horse, for so many years."
"Since you find this golden saddle and jade bridle too uncomfortable, I will reward you with an iron halter and let you live in the stables, so that you can experience the feeling of being a horse."
After that, she ordered, "Take them to the stables and have someone guard them."
Chu Chu panicked when she heard this: "No..."
"Thank you, my dear... I'm pregnant, how can I go to a place like a stable?"
“Duan Rou, you…” Xie Yunche was about to speak when Duan Rou closed her eyes and interrupted him coldly: “Drag him away!”
Several guards hurried forward and dragged Chuchu and Xie Yunche away until they disappeared without a trace. The tears that had been suppressed in Duanrou's eyes for a long time finally overflowed, but she quickly raised her hand to wipe them away before they fell.
She can't cry!
She is a princess.
She promised her father, the emperor, and her mother that she would be the most beautiful and happiest princess in Jinghe.
Isn't he just a man? Why is he so sad?
However, the more this happened, the more tears welled up in Duan Rou's eyes. She quickly raised her head to prevent the tears from falling.
In a blink of an eye, it has been a month since Liu Yuetang came to Lanyue Kingdom.
This month, Zong Zhengjun, wearing black armor, marched south and quickly broke through the pass of the Qin State. In just ten days, he captured seven cities, occupied the land of the Qin State, took over the entire grassland and desert area, and subdued the nomadic tribes.
After this battle, Lanyue's territory expanded by three thousand miles, reaching Qingya River in the east, Canglangyuan in the west, Hanhai Liusha in the north, and Jinyun Pass in the south. It defeated all the defeated troops and became one of the five major countries in the world.
Afterwards, Lanyue and Jingyuan fulfilled their old alliance - announcing to the world their eternal alliance, and Lanyue gave the two states of Cangwu to Jingyuan.
When the news spread, all the countries were in an uproar. Cangzhou controlled the key water and land routes, and Wuzhou was located on thousands of miles of fertile land. This gift greatly increased Jingyuan's strength.
The two countries working together will make other major powers dare not underestimate them.
On this day, Lan Yue celebrated his victory, singing and dancing all night long and drinking heartily.
Men's wrestling and horse racing.
The women danced around the bonfire, singing and swaying their waists.
Liu Yuetang had never seen such a lively and festive scene in Jingyuan.
The king and his subjects here were not as strict and restrained as Jinghe, who often knelt three times and kowtowed nine times. Instead, they were more like partners galloping side by side on the grassland.
She also changed from her palace dress to a fiery-red grassland dress. Her high bun was braided into many small braids, with two large braids hanging down in front of her chest. Her head was only adorned with a forehead ornament and a hair accessory inlaid with agate, coral and jasper.
Her facial features are naturally delicate, and with the charming mole under her eye, she looks even more like someone from the grassland.
