Chapter 709 She Will Never Accept Her Fate
Song Yanxi couldn't help but frown and asked, "If it weren't for Princess Roujia, how would I know that the person who likes to eat the cakes in the Queen's palace is actually the prince?"
The so-called Jiaojiao likes it, but it’s just an excuse.
If the little girl were here at this moment, she would definitely shout "Daddy is lying".
Just thinking about that scene, Song Yanxi couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
Facing Mo Jinchuan's resentful eyes, she said, "It was clearly the prince who said before that we should treat others with sincerity, but now he is hiding it. It is really puzzling."
Just as Mo Jinchuan was about to explain, he heard the young eunuch's voice singing a greeting outside.
Zhuang Shihan and Wen Qi have arrived.
Song Yanxi quickly poured a few glasses of water on the table, then dipped her finger in the water and wrote on the table: "Wen Qi's martial arts skills should be quite good."
She only found out about this in the past two days.
The girl from Liang State had internal injuries in addition to external skin injuries.
But according to her, no one except Wen Qi had ever been violent towards her.
It's not that I can't bear it, but I don't have the courage.
Even if Wen Qi doesn't want his woman anymore, he will never allow anyone else to have any contact with her.
Therefore, the internal injuries on her body must have been caused by Wen Qi losing control and using his internal force when he hit her.
People who practice martial arts always have excellent hearing.
They'd better be on guard.
Mo Jinchuan nodded, indicating that he understood.
But the next moment, he untied the rope on the oil paper, took a piece of cake and handed it to Song Yanxi.
A sweet fragrance hits your face, mixed with a hint of floral scent, it smells very sweet.
Judging from his posture, he seemed to be willing to keep holding it if she didn't take it, so Song Yanxi had no choice but to reach out and take it.
Then, under his expectant gaze, she brought it to her mouth and took a light bite.
The pastry had a soft texture and was sweet but not greasy, which immediately whetted Song Yanxi's appetite.
Feeling hungry in her stomach, she suddenly remembered that she was busy decocting medicine for Emperor Xuande at noon and had completely forgotten about eating.
No wonder he suddenly came to bring her some pastries.
It turned out that he was afraid that she would be hungry.
Song Yanxi was both moved and helpless for a moment.
This fool, she is such a grown-up, how could she starve herself?
As if deliberately going against her, Song Yanxi was about to write something when she heard her stomach growl.
She quickly covered her stomach, her face showing more embarrassment.
This belly is really, not good at all.
Why can't I just cry out for hunger any other time? Why do I have to do it in front of the prince...
Just as she was thinking about it, Song Yanxi saw Mo Jinchuan push the oil paper on the table forward, indicating that she should eat more.
He looked calm, as if he hadn't heard anything.
If possible, Song Yanxi really wanted to deceive herself.

"Get up."
Emperor Xuande put down the memorial in his hand, looked at Wen Qi and asked, "Prince Liang came to the palace to see me today, but what did you hear?"
Wen Qi smiled faintly and asked instead of answering, "Your Majesty, what do you think I should hear?"
Zhuang Shihan couldn't help but sneer in her heart when she heard this.
She thought he was really tired of living as he dared to be so arrogant in front of Emperor Xuande.
So what if he is the crown prince of Liang?
This is Da'an.
As long as Emperor Xuande wanted, he had countless ways to make the death of this foreign country justifiable.
As for his father, who wished he had died early, if he really knew about his death, not only would he send troops to attack Da'an to avenge him, he might even send gifts to thank Da'an for eliminating a threat to Liang State.
I really don’t know who gave him the courage.
Or is it that when people like him go crazy, they really are not afraid of death?
Emperor Xuande smiled instead of getting angry. "From what Prince Liang said, you think I, as the host, haven't fulfilled my duties as a good host?"
Wen Qi said bluntly, "Over the past two days, I have truly felt that there is nothing interesting to see in your capital."
As soon as these words were spoken, the air in the hall seemed to freeze for a moment.
Zhuang Shihan used to think that she was very intolerant and was already arrogant enough compared to others.
Now it seems that she is still much worse than Wen Qi.
Just hearing these words made her want to hit someone, let alone the high and mighty Emperor Xuande.
Not hearing any sound of things falling, Zhuang Shihan couldn't help but feel underestimated.
Is she crazy, or is Emperor Xuande crazy?
Even though he was provoked in such a direct manner, he was able to endure it.
As Zhuang Shihan was complaining in her heart, she heard Emperor Xuande say in surprise, "Really? I heard that Prince Liang has been visiting the Shu Manor opened by Princess Shihan quite a lot these days.
Why, you don’t like the taste?”
Hearing this, Zhuang Shihan felt a chill on her back.
When did Emperor Xuande start targeting her?
No, she must have been overthinking it.
The reason why he knew that Wen Qi had been going to Shuzhuang frequently in recent days was because he was worried about his identity and sent people to monitor his movements.
After such comfort, Zhuang Shihan's heart was not at ease, but was instead hanging high.
If the people in the palace kept an eye on Wen Qi, they would definitely know his every move.
This also includes what the two of them did in the teahouse.
She was really out of her mind.
If even Lin Tingfeng knew it, how could Emperor Xuande, as the king of a country, not know it?
The reason why he didn't pursue the matter was that he felt that she was still useful to him now.
After realizing this, Zhuang Shihan felt only mockery.
She thought she was smart all her life and that she was different from those noble ladies who stayed in their boudoirs all day long. However, she never thought that her cleverness would backfire.
She shouldn't have meddled in other people's business!
Wen Qi glanced at Zhuang Shihan, whose expression was grim, and chuckled, "Your Majesty is joking. I am naturally happy.
If you don't like it, why go to so much trouble?"
Hearing his deliberately prolonged ending tone, Zhuang Shihan's heart skipped a beat.
Why did she feel that there was something else behind his words?
Before she could think about it, she heard Emperor Xuande's hearty laughter, "I didn't realize that Prince Liang was such a loyal person."
Her intuition told her that what he was going to say next was definitely not what she wanted to hear.
She made up her mind and knelt down with a plop. She said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have something important to tell you."
Emperor Xuande suppressed his smile and said calmly, "Stand up and talk."
Zhuang Shihan bit her lower lip and said, "What this subject is about to say concerns the fate of the nation. Your Highness, Crown Prince Liang, please step aside."
Emperor Xuande's face darkened, and he asked in a cold voice, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Zhuang Shihan: "Your Majesty, I understand."
They had both just talked to that point. If she still couldn't understand what they were saying, she would be extremely stupid.
What's with talking about long-lasting love? They don't even find it disgusting!
Emperor Xuande's nice words were nothing more than his wish to give her to Wen Qi as a favor.
But why?
It was obvious that the person Liang Guo was seeking to marry was his legitimate princess, the arrogant and domineering Mo Yingxue.
As long as she is married to Wen Qi, an alliance will naturally be formed between the two countries. A living person is more convincing than any paper document.
As the king of a country, how could he be so selfish as to sacrifice his daughter's future just to prevent her from marrying far away to the State of Liang?
No, she will never accept her fate!
Zhuang Shihan kowtowed heavily to Emperor Xuande and said in a resounding voice, "I guarantee this with my own life. Your Majesty, please give me a chance to plead my case."
