Yin Yuqing fell into the chair, tears streaming down her face.
Over the years, no matter what situation Mu Jingrui was in, she always stayed with him.
His indifference towards her always made her hide away and cry quietly; however, he was so brilliant that she couldn't bear to let him go.
Even though she knew that he didn't have her in his heart, she felt very satisfied to be his legitimate wife.
Now, Mu Jingrui is going to take back even this pitiful request.
This incident alarmed Xiao Yujue. No matter how dumb Yin Yuqing was, she could see that it was impossible to save the situation.
Mu Jingrui handed over the handkerchief.
This was the first time he didn't seem indifferent to her tears.
"I owe you this. No matter how you want to repay this debt in the future, I will accept it."
Yin Yuqing sneered and pushed Mu Jingrui's hand away, but did not take his handkerchief.
The words he didn't say later were probably "As long as you are willing to leave, make room for Shangguan Wanning."
"Please leave me alone for a while." Yin Yuqing's heart ached. She felt that she should stand up and slap Mu Jingrui twice.
Or, she could cry and make a fuss, try to commit suicide, and let Mu Jingrui know her determination.
She would rather die in the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion than leave this house.
Mu Jingrui left the room in silence.
He stayed awake all night, standing alone at the window, waiting until the sun rose. The breeze blowing in his face was mixed with the unique fragrance of earth in the early morning.
The door was gently pushed open, and he turned around to see Yin Yuqing walking in with a pale face.
The two looked at each other, no one spoke, and the air seemed to freeze at this moment.
After a long while, Yin Yuqing said quietly, "I am willing to go... to help you... but... I have a few conditions."
"you say."
As long as it is within his ability, Mu Jingrui also wants Yin Yuqing to leave as happily as possible.
"First, I want you to post a notice at the gate of the Zhennan Palace for three days to make it clear to everyone that it was not my fault that we broke up, and I have done nothing wrong to you."
"good."
This was actually true. Mu Jingrui felt that doing so could restore Yin Yuqing's reputation so that when she looked for a husband in the future, she would not be looked down upon by her husband's family.
"Second, I am your legally wedded wife. I want you to send me back to my parents' home the same way you married me. I will ride in a sedan chair carried by eight people, and when we get to the doorstep, you will carry me back to my boudoir."
Mu Jingrui frowned slightly.
He had never heard of anyone divorcing his wife with such fanfare and grandeur.
"Why? Your Majesty is in trouble?"
"No, do as you wish."
Mu Jingrui agreed so readily that Yin Yuqing couldn't help but be stunned.
How determined he was to divorce his wife.
"Third, when I marry again in the future, you must not obstruct me."
"It should be. I also hope that you can have a good home in the future."
Yin Yuqing's tears fell silently and she turned around to leave.
When she reached the door, she stopped. "Since you have no objection, then let the housekeeper choose an auspicious day, and we can...get divorced."
After saying this, he covered his face and cried, then left angrily.
Three days later, a notice of divorce from Princess Zhennan was posted at the gate of Prince Zhennan's mansion, listing some of Mu Jingrui's shortcomings and bad habits.
This incident caused a sensation in the entire capital city, and spread like a gust of wind across the streets and alleys, becoming a topic of conversation among the people after dinner.
No one expected that the King of Zhennan, who had made great military achievements and was like a god of war, would be despised and divorced by his own wife, and he endured it silently.
Don't argue, don't get angry.
Everyone who passed by the Zhennan Palace couldn't help but take another look. Everyone seemed to be looking forward to the subsequent developments.
Three days later, red silk and lanterns were hung at the gate of the Zhennan Palace, and Yin Yuqing, dressed in red, was carried away in a sedan chair by eight bearers, heading towards her parents' home.
Next to the sedan chair was the Prince of Zhennan escorting her on horseback; behind the sedan chair was a full dowry, several times more than when she got married.
The team arrived at the door of Yin's house, and Yin Yuqing's parents and younger brother were waiting outside.
Yin Yuqing lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and whispered to Mu Jingrui beside her: "Can you carry me in?"
Mu Jingrui was a little hesitant, but he knew that this was the last and only time in his life.
He dismounted from the horse and carried Yin Yuqing out of the sedan chair.
Yin Yuqing snuggled into his chest, tears in her eyes but a faint smile on her lips.
"This is the first time you hugged me..." Yin Yuqing wrapped her arms around Mu Jingrui's neck and sobbed in his ear, "My husband, for the rest of your life...you must take care of yourself."
Mu Jingrui felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He looked down at Yin Yuqing, and his guilt towards her became even stronger.
"You too. Take care."
Mu Jingrui carried Yin Yuqing back to the room and put her down gently.
"goodbye."
"goodbye."
Mu Jingrui turned and left, and Yin Yuqing couldn't help but burst into tears.
He left resolutely and decisively, without any regrets. After many years of marriage, it was just a name.
Now, even this status that maintains their relationship is gone.
Now that everything has been settled, Mu Jingrui feels relieved.
The next step is how to win back Shangguan Wanning’s heart.
When Mu Jingrui learned that Shangguan Wanning had already set off for Yaowang Valley, the longing in his heart became even stronger.
"Your Majesty, the Queen wants to see you."
Mu Jingrui came out of the morning court and saw Mu Jingyan's personal maid standing next to his sedan chair.
He was full of things on his mind, but he still went to see Mu Jingyan.
He arrived at Mu Jingyan's bedroom, and before he had time to bow and salute, Mu Jingyan came forward, took his hand and sat down, and asked impatiently: "Brother, I heard that the emperor wants to select concubines from the people to fill the harem, is it true?"
Mu Jingrui picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and nodded silently.
From the corner of his eye he saw Mu Jingyan lowering his head sadly, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"He is the emperor. You should understand that you are not the only woman for him."
"Why not?" Mu Jingyan raised his eyebrows, looking very angry. "Why can you men have three wives and four concubines?"
Mu Jingrui laughed. "Not all men have so many wives and concubines. I will definitely only have Ning'er in the future."
Mu Jingyan got even angrier after hearing this, and stood up while slamming the table. "That also depends on whether Wan Ning wants to marry you... Hateful! You are just like him, neither of you is a good person."
Mu Jingyan knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion and could not be changed. He stomped his feet angrily, turned around and went back to his room.
Mu Jingrui was a little worried, but there was nothing he could do.
The most important thing for him right now is to get Shangguan Wanning back.
