Chapter 34
Ye Bojian wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy from Gu Rong.
With his life at stake, Ye Bojian dared not slack off at all.
He would never agree to the marriage with the Zheng family!
Over the years, Gu Rong was so gentle and considerate in front of him that he almost forgot that she was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, and she was also extremely beautiful and heroic in her time! When
she was ruthless, she was really ruthless!
Gu Rong was too lazy to pay attention to Ye Bojian, and deliberately quickened her pace to catch up with Eunuch Cao.
Ye Bojian also wanted to speed up, but he was injured.
And when he chased, Gu Rong would deliberately speed up her pace to distance herself from him.
He couldn't catch up at all!
What else did he not understand?
Now he was regretting so much that his intestines turned green!
Perhaps because of the fear of death, he didn't even care about the injuries on his body. All he could think about was how to save his life.
Soon they arrived at Yu's study.
Eunuch Cao said loudly: "Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion, the Marquis's wife is here."
A warm and low voice came from Yu's study.
"Come in."
The voice sounded a bit gentle at first.
But people who are familiar with this voice know that this is just an appearance...
Ye Bojian went in with Gu Rong, shaking his legs. The scene he saw when he entered made his head congested.
Minister Zheng and his wife Liu Qinglian were also inside. Both of them were kneeling and trembling.
Gu Rong and Ye Bojian knelt down directly.
"Greetings, His Majesty."
Both of them bowed their heads, not daring to look directly at the emperor's face. A
gentle and low voice came from above: "Madam, please stand up and take a seat."
Gu Rong stood up and sat down on the chair. She raised her head and looked at the man standing above her, His Majesty the Great Qian Kingdom, Xiao Ci.
He held a wolf-hair brush in his hand, standing upright, writing something on the rice paper in his hand. He
was wearing a white shirt, a gilded crown to hold his hair, and his facial lines were perfect when he bowed his head. He looked like a noble and gentle emperor.
He gave people a very gentle, friendly, and easy to talk to feeling.
He was still the same noble family son twenty years ago, with a noble demeanor and extraordinary.
However, over the years, everyone in the Daqian Kingdom knew that hidden under Xiao Ci's gentle appearance was a tyrannical and bigoted soul.
Xiao Ci kept writing, and his voice was light and floating.
"My Lord, do you know what mistake you made?"
Ye Bojian broke out in a cold sweat, and his legs and hands were shaking.
"I... I don't know..."
"Then kneel down and reflect until you know."
The deep voice echoed throughout the study, calm and gentle, but with a life-threatening coldness.
Ye Bojian buried his head in the ground, his whole body was shaking, and he dared not say a word.
Xiao Ci put down the pen in his hand, looked at the words written on the rice paper, and his expression softened.
The rice paper was full of "Yan", and anyone who saw it knew that this was the name of the late queen.
Gu Rong didn't see what Xiao Ci wrote, but she could guess what he wrote.
She was not familiar with Xiao Ci, but she was good friends with the late queen. The late queen Xia Muyan was her cousin. When she was infatuated with Xiao Ci, she told her all her girlish thoughts.
So she knew some of Xiao Ci's quirks.
He would express himself by writing when he was thinking and angry. This was his habit.
Actually...
Gu Jingchen also had this habit.
When she first knew that Gu Jingchen had this habit, she was still thinking that men all released stress by writing
. Now she understands that this is blood.
Moreover, she didn't think that Gu Jingchen would be Xiao Ci's child before, and she didn't think about many things.
But now that I know, I realize that Gu Jingchen's eyebrows and eyes are indeed similar to Xiao Ci's, and also like Xia Muyan.
She knew that Gu Jingchen looked like Xia Muyan. Xia Muyan's father was her uncle, so it was not surprising that Gu Jingchen looked like her aunt.
So I never thought about it.
Xiao Ci's eyes fell calmly on Gu Rong. He had an innate kingly aura. Even his calm eyes made people tremble. The sharpness and sharpness in him could not be hidden by wearing a gentle white dress.
Xiao Ci said: "Do you regret it?"
Gu Rong's throat choked.
She knew what Xiao Ci was talking about.
Do you regret marrying Ye Bojian?
To be honest, I regret it.
She thought Ye Bojian was her salvation.
But she didn't expect him to be the abyss.
Xiao Ci's tone was guilty.
"I'm sorry, I didn't take you into consideration at the beginning, so you married the wrong person."
Gu Rong's incident happened not long after Xia Muyan's death. Xiao Ci was mad at that time. The whole imperial city was a river of blood. He was blinded by hatred and had no time to care about anything else.
When he woke up from his mad state, Gu Rong had already married Ye Bojian.
In the study, except for Gu Rong, the other three people kneeling took a breath.
His Majesty actually apologized to Gu Rong.
The "inhuman" Xiao Ci mentioned must be Ye Bojian.
Ye Bojian, the person involved, didn't even have the courage to refute.
Xiao Ci spoke again: "As long as you ask, I can kill him for you."
Before Gu Rong could say anything, Ye Bojian was so frightened that his face turned pale and
he kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy. "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have agreed to the engagement with the Zheng family. I deserve death. Please calm down, Your Majesty. I will cancel the engagement immediately!"
Then he begged Gu Rong again.
"Madam, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I won't dare to do it again. For the sake of our marriage for more than 20 years and our five children, please ask His Majesty for mercy, Madam!"
Ye Bojian was so angry that he burst into tears.
He believed that if he said a word of mercy, His Majesty would really kill him.
Minister Zheng and Liu Qinglian, who were kneeling on the side, were also trembling.
The emperor was about to kill Ye Bojian, but he could spare their lives
. Minister Zheng: "Your Majesty, please have mercy. I know I was wrong, but I dare not do it again."
Gu Rong happened to be sitting next to Liu Qinglian, and Liu Qinglian immediately grabbed the hem of Gu Rong's skirt: "Sister Gu, please spare us. We will not marry your daughter. We will not marry her. For the sake of our youthful friendship, please let me go this time! Please, sister Gu!"
Liu Qinglian's plea and humility this time were sincere. She
even kowtowed to Gu Rong directly.
Gu Rong had no feelings for Ye Bojian a long time ago.
Not directly chopping him with a knife was already her kindness.
However, she would not let His Majesty kill him.
Because, killing him would be too easy for him.
Then what does it mean that she has been wronged, oppressed, humiliated, and deceived in these years? How
can it be just brushed aside like this ? Gu Rong
looked at him lazily.
"You can ask for mercy, but you have to promise me three things."
Ye Bojian said immediately: "You say!"
"First, you are not allowed to interfere in the marriage of the children in the future."
Ye Bojian agreed without thinking.
"Okay!"
He was too lazy to worry about it!
"Second, I will have the final say in the Marquis' Mansion in the future. Do you agree?"
