The matter was spread by Han Jiang, but the prince did not think about how Shen Ruyi made Shen Jiaojiao and others suffer the consequences of their own actions.
It was not until this moment that I realized that it was because Shen Ruyi was "disfigured" and "poisoned and mute" that the Shen family father and son failed to recognize that it was not her at the first time!
When the prince thought of this, his face became extremely ugly.
Shen Ruyi is plotting against the Shen father and son and Shen Jiaojiao.
But he was like a fool and fell into her trap. He ran to the palace impatiently to ask for the imperial edict to cancel the engagement!
No wonder his father looked so unhappy!
The prince was trembling all over, feeling as if he had been slapped several times in the face.
Yan Weiyun also laughed at him.
"Your Highness, your breaking off of the engagement comes at the perfect time. Thank you for letting Ruyi go and letting me marry her!"
The prince's face turned red, "She is the lucky star of Ziwei. I can't marry her, and it has nothing to do with you!"
He was really almost pissed off.
He turned his head and looked at Shen Ruyi, "You pretended to be disfigured, why didn't you tell me?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince didn't ask either."
Shen Ruyi sneered, "Besides, I'm not pretending every day, but who would have thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't even wait for three days and was so impatient to break off the engagement?"
“…”
The prince was shaking with anger.
Now, not only has he lost his lucky star, but he has also offended his father!
Shen Ruyi didn't want to see this person again, so she ordered him to leave. "If you don't have anything else to do, please leave. I have other things to do."
Although the emperor said that the prince was her cousin.
But even brothers are unreliable, let alone a cousin.
From now on, she can choose her own relatives, there is no need for all this hypocrisy.
Things have come to this point, although the prince was unwilling, he was too embarrassed to stay.
In the end, she could only comfort herself: What if she was a lucky star? After the Shen family was destroyed, she would be alone, and even if someone else married her, she would just be a decoration.
Thinking this, he turned and left.
But at this moment, there was a sudden noise from below, and a group of people rushed straight to the third floor.
The leader was actually Eunuch Qian, whom he had met outside the Shangshu Mansion last night.
He held the imperial edict in his hand, and when he saw the crown prince, his expression was very complicated, "Your Highness, you came really early."
He's rushing to die!
They are all shrewd people around the emperor, and the prince is impatient to decide to cancel the engagement.
With such a character, there is no way the emperor would give him the throne.
So, what awaits the prince is nothing more than finding a suitable opportunity to depose or replace him.
When someone else ascends the throne, amidst the life-and-death dispute, it is hard to say whether the prince can live to see the sunrise next year.
The prince ran into Eunuch Qian here, and saw Minister Xiao and Xiao Pingxin coming up behind him. His face turned green, "Why is the eunuch here?"
An extremely bad premonition began to brew in my heart.
Last night, he went to see Minister Xiao but was refused, saying that Minister Xiao was seriously ill.
But looking at the person in front of me, his face is rosy and there is no sign of illness at all.
It's obvious that she just doesn't want to see him and she even found an excuse!
So why make excuses?
The more the prince thought about it, the more he felt that he might have missed something and things were not that simple at all.
I'm just thinking about Minister Xiao.
Then, Eunuch Qian suddenly said, "Shen Ruyi, please accept the order! The emperor has ordered that Shen Cangyun has killed Ziwei Fuxing and is no longer worthy of being a father! From today on, Shen Ruyi will leave the Shen family and have no connection with them anymore!"
Shen Ruyi went out and knelt on the ground, "Your servant accepts the order!"
She let out a breath of foul air and felt relieved.
Originally, she thought that she would need to go to the palace and beg the emperor to sever ties with the Shen family.
But I didn’t expect that the emperor would directly issue an order!
It’s really great!
Eunuch Qian placed the imperial edict in her hand, and with a pleasant expression, he pulled her up and said, "The Emperor has ordered that Minister Xiao recognize you as his adopted daughter. Your recognition banquet will be held in three days."
"From now on, our little Ruyi will also have a family!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Ruyi's eyes widened in surprise.
She has a new home so soon?
Upon hearing this, the prince regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
Before Shen Ruyi could react, he shouted strangely, "Did the emperor order Shen Ruyi to join the Xiao family?"
"Yes, join the Xiao family."
Eunuch Qian turned around and looked at the prince, "From now on, she is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, the Princess Zhaoyang, who was personally conferred the title by the Emperor, and the Purple Star of Fortune."
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince's marriage was called off at a brilliant time!"
“I can’t stop it!”
A useless person who is about to be eliminated, a useless prince who is about to be eliminated. Even the eunuchs in the palace will no longer be kind to him.
It's just like that, things change.
One moment the prince was disgusted with Shen Ruyi and was about to break off the engagement with her, and the next moment he was beaten in the face!
At the door, Han Jiang also smiled, "Yes, Your Highness, if you hadn't broken off the engagement just now, you would have been the son-in-law of the Minister of War in the future."
Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War are the ones that the princes must fight for in their fight for the throne.
If the prince had not broken off the engagement, this good thing would have naturally fallen on him.
The prince who had no backing, whose mother had died and who was not favored by others, suddenly became the most powerful heir. With the blessing of the lucky star Ziwei, who could compete with him?
What a pity!
Even if good luck comes from heaven, not everyone can catch it.
The prince felt dizzy after hearing these words.
He wanted even more.
Now that Shen Cangyun has stepped down, who will be the next to take over?
Last night, Eunuch Qian went to see Prime Minister Xiao, but Prime Minister Xiao refused to see him, the prince. Doesn't that mean that Minister Xiao will soon become the prime minister, and Shen Ruyi will be the daughter of the prime minister?
At this moment, he really regretted it to death.
He can't stay in this place anymore!
"Goodbye!"
The prince left in embarrassment after saying this.
Shen Ruyi watched him go downstairs, but she didn't expect to see her first fiancé Gu Qinghua downstairs.
He now looked unshaven, and his clothes were the same ones he wore when they last met at Gu's house. They were already extremely dirty, and even his hair was tangled.
It looks quite messy.
Shen Ruyi snorted, "Sure enough, a fiancé who keeps changing."
The iron-clad lucky star of Ziwei.
Thinking of Rong Yan, she was truly filled with gratitude.
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Qian smiled and said, "The girl is a lucky star, so we must choose a son-in-law carefully. Not everyone can fill the vacancy."
Shen Ruyi came back to her senses and bowed to him, "Thank you, eunuch, and thank you, Your Majesty."
"You know how to be grateful. You're a good kid."
Eunuch Qian smiled and looked at Minister Xiao, "Then... you and your family should get acquainted with each other first, and I won't disturb you."
"Okay, take care, father-in-law!"
Everyone saw Eunuch Qian off.
Shen Ruyi stepped forward and saluted to Minister Xiao and Xiao Pingxin, "I have met the Minister and General Xiao."
“You’re welcome.”
Minister Xiao personally helped her up and went into the house together. "The Xiao family only has two sons and no daughters. When you enter the house, you will be the only daughter of the Xiao family."
As he spoke, he laughed, "Your mother always wanted a daughter, but she never got what she wanted. Now it's all good, a daughter is God's gift."
Looking Shen Ruyi up and down, Minister Xiao felt a sigh in his heart.
Who would have thought that Shen Cangyun's daughter would become his after so many twists and turns?
