"I am the crown prince. If I become a laughing stock, I will no longer have any power."
As the prince spoke, he banged his head heavily on the ground, crying and shouting, "I beg you to have mercy on me, Father!"
“…”
The emperor was so angry that his fists hardened. "Have you ever thought that if you are willing to marry her in such a situation, the people will only think that you are kind?"
But the prince was totally unable to understand his suggestion.
"Please grant me your blessing, Father!"
He knelt on the ground with determination and refused to listen to anything.
"Maybe she can be cured?" The emperor frowned. Could it be that his son didn't understand what he meant?
The marriage was granted one moment and then cancelled the next. Do you think the royal family is just a show?
However, the prince still touched his forehead to the ground and insisted, "I have made up my mind."
"…You are doing very well!"
The emperor took a deep breath and tried hard to think about his beloved's youth. He then suppressed his anger and kicked him out. "In three days, I will issue an order."
"But don't regret it."
After saying this, he left the prince's side and walked towards the throne room angrily.
The prince turned his head to look at him, but the emperor did not turn his head back.
"Thank you...thank you for your help, father."
The prince was stunned for a moment. His intuition told him that something was moving away, but he couldn't catch it for a while. Finally, he stared blankly at the emperor's back as he walked away, then he got up.
"Tell me, did I make Father angry?"
He glanced at his study companion with some uneasiness.
The tutor helped him stand up and said, "It's normal for the emperor to be angry, but you are his son after all. He will be angry for two days and then he will be fine."
His companion smiled at him.
The prince nodded, "I hope so."
As for regret?
That's impossible.
Not to mention that he is the prince, even if he is an ordinary commoner, he would never marry someone like Shen Ruyi.
When he left the palace, he took a deep breath and said, "But my father finally agreed. This can be regarded as getting rid of a dog-skin plaster."
His footsteps became lighter.
…
A night of chaos buried in the wind and snow.
It was already completely light.
Shen Cangyun went to the prison of Jingzhao Prefecture early in the morning, and Shen Yu also took the time to return to the palace. After all, he was a royal guard and could not always ask for leave.
Shen Qi was sent out to get medicine for Shen Jiaojiao according to the ghost doctor's prescription.
Most of the Shen family had left, leaving only Shen Jiaojiao in the yard.
She sent the two maids away.
Then, he excitedly went out the back door, muttering quietly, "This is really great! I thought there were still people watching, but they are all gone!"
"Even God is helping me."
Shen Jiaojiao walked quickly.
Across the street, the ghost doctor entered the bun shop.
Shen Jiaojiao curled her lips, then turned around the alley on the other side and met Zhang the Butcher and Zhao Yi, "Brother, long time no see."
These two people are spies from Nan Chu.
I call the ghost doctor "Master", not because I really want to learn medicine from him, but because it is more convenient to call him that, and it won't arouse suspicion when I go out.
Because they are a little older than Shen Jiaojiao, Shen Jiaojiao calls them senior brothers.
After a long time, you will get used to it.
With the help of an acquaintance, Shen Jiaojiao felt more confident.
"Junior sister, I am sorry for the offense."
Butcher Zhang nodded, took out a sack, put it over Shen Jiaojiao's head, carried her on his shoulders and walked away.
"Big Brother, you take Jiaojiao away first. I will stay here and pass the message to the Shen family later." Zhao Yi glanced around and gave an instruction.
"good!"
Butcher Zhang replied and left quickly.
Shen Jiaojiao felt a little uncomfortable lying in the sack, but when she thought about how Shen Ruyi would die, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
I just hope time passes quickly.
Zhao Yi wandered around the alley, then went back to the bun shop to find the ghost doctor, thinking of eating two buns while he was at it.
So, when the time was almost up, he asked someone to send a letter to the Shen family, saying that Shen Jiaojiao had been captured by them and they wanted to take Shen Ruyi in exchange.
But the ghost doctor did not stay.
She planned to go around through the side door, and then go to the Prime Minister's Mansion's study since there was no one there.
As a result, before he reached the side door, a dark shadow flashed in front of him. Before he could come to his senses, he was acupunctured and picked up and disappeared.
"Who are you?"
The ghost doctor was shocked to find that his internal energy was blocked and he didn't have the strength to resist at all!
In the time it took to say just one sentence, the man had already left the Prime Minister's Mansion far away.
The ghost doctor was shocked and began to struggle.
But without internal strength, the struggle is useless.
"You'll know when you get there."
Wuying sneered and rushed straight to the inn where Shen Ruyi was staying.
Shen Ruyi had tidied herself up and was sitting at the table waiting.
After a while, footsteps were heard at the door, followed by a "bang", and a person was thrown on the floor in front of her.
Wuying came in and locked the door.
"Girl, I brought the person to you."
He looked at Shen Ruyi, his breathing a little rapid. It was obviously not that easy to carry someone here.
But there was some light in Shen Ruyi's eyes, "Just as you expected, when I went over just now, two people caught Shen Jiaojiao, but Shen Jiaojiao called those two brothers, they are really in the same group!"
I originally thought that Shen Ruyi was just making a small fuss.
They can come over to help protect and play along.
Unexpectedly, the development of the matter was exactly the same as Shen Ruyi said.
After hearing what he said, the ghost doctor looked at the ugly guy sitting in front of him and asked in astonishment, "Who are you? Why are you staring at us?"
She thought that what she and Shen Jiaojiao had arranged was foolproof.
But she didn't expect that someone saw her and caught her!
An ominous premonition began to brew in my chest.
The ghost doctor was a little panicked.
"Didn't you recognize it?"
Shen Ruyi sneered, her eyes fell on this person's face, she bent down and tore off a mask from her face, revealing her true face, "She is really a woman."
"You don't recognize me."
"But even if you were crushed to dust, I would still recognize you."
In her previous life, she was badly hurt by this woman and Shen Jiaojiao!
This time…
With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Shen Ruyi raised his hand and stroked her barely thirty-year-old, charming face. "It's a pity that you have such a face. You will soon become like me. By then, you won't even be able to recognize yourself."
The ghost doctor was stunned and shocked, "You, you are Shen Ruyi?!"
But this was the first time she and Shen Ruyi met.
The look in Shen Ruyi's eyes when he looked at her was full of hostility and bottomless hatred.
What's going on?
"Yeah, long time no see."
Shen Ruyi's eyes were filled with coldness. "You and Shen Jiaojiao are so cruel. How did I provoke you? Why do you treat me like this?"
Her voice couldn't help but tremble.
She thought that she had never hurt Shen Jiaojiao in her previous life, but in the end she ended up dying tragically in a cold pond!
It’s so unfair!
The ghost doctor looked at her like this and felt a chill running down his spine. "Shen Ruyi, what do you want to do?"
Could it be that Shen Jiaojiao's affairs have been exposed long ago?"
The ghost doctor was terrified and dared not even think about it.
"Tell me, why do you treat me like this?" Shen Ruyi pinched her chin.
