Chapter 40 The protagonist died and the official pairing was broken up
Xiao Jin laughed and gestured with his hands as he spoke, "Of course it's a fairy-like woman. A few days ago, I bought a Turkic dancer. That figure, that dance, she entwines herself like a water snake, what man can resist? Tsk tsk, she's simply a stunner! Well, you won't understand even if I tell you. I'll ask for leave from your tigress someday, and you'll know for yourself when you come to my house and see for yourself."
The official finally understood, his face flushing with embarrassment. He quickly shook his head and said, "Thank you, Princess, for your kindness. But my wife is jealous, so I dare not go. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
"Ah Heng, where is Pingzhi? I'm going to help him sober up." Shen Congting asked with concern.
Shen Junheng was embarrassed and speechless.
Liu Xiaodie immediately knelt down in front of Chen Congting, and said with tears in her eyes: "Master, please make the decision for the young lady."
"Xiaodie, shut up." Shen Junheng warned in a pretended angry tone.
"Xiaodie, please stand up and speak." Chen Congting said to Liu Xiaodie in a gentle voice, "Your young lady has suffered some injustice, just tell me."
Liu Xiaodie stood up, gritted her teeth, pointed at one of the rooms and said, "Master, this son-in-law is really going too far. He's in there... He..."
When Shen Congting heard this, his eyes darkened and anger appeared in his eyes.
He immediately walked quickly towards the room Liu Xiaodie pointed to.
Everyone followed closely behind.
As I got closer, I heard a blushing and heart-pounding sound coming from the room.
Shen Junheng had a look of grief and indignation on her face. She leaned her face on Xiao Jinhuan's shoulder and sobbed softly. Xiao Jinhuan comforted her softly, "It's not worth being sad for such a beast."
Shen Congting was furious and immediately ordered someone to open the door.
The servant opened the door tremblingly, and everyone saw the gauze swaying in the room and the figures interweaving.
Let He Ping cook it quickly over high heat or simmer it slowly over low heat.
He Pingzhi was so engrossed in the performance that he didn't even notice that people were watching him, and he continued to perform intermittently.
Raindrops hit banana leaves in the garden, and music is heard in the fragrance of flowers and wind.
The little lotus has just shown its pointed tip, and a dragonfly has already landed on it.
Don't look at what is inappropriate. Everyone was so embarrassed that they quickly covered their eyes and left the room.
"I didn't expect General He to be so extravagant." Xiao Lingyu sneered, "But after all, the Shen family is hosting a banquet to welcome him today. No matter how unbearable General He is, he should restrain himself a little."
Xiao Linghe's expression turned extremely ugly, his eyes brimming with fire. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.
He Pingzhi acted recklessly in front of all the civil and military officials and royal relatives, bringing shame to the Shen family. Shen Junheng was about to achieve his goal, but he couldn't be happy.
She felt sad and angry. He Pingzhi destroyed the Zheng sisters. The Zheng sisters were so innocent. He Ping's death was not a pity!
The servants immediately closed the door tactfully.
After something like this happened, who would dare to stay any longer? They all said goodbye to Shen Junheng.
"Ms. Shen, don't be too sad." Xiao Linghe said this with gritted teeth and turned to leave, his back looking somewhat desolate.
Xiao Lingyu tried his best to control his inner feelings, without even looking at Shen Junheng, and left with Xiao Jinhuan.
Soon, all the guests left, and only the Shen family stayed.
"Xiaodie, go and help Miss Ziyuan down!" As soon as everyone left, Shen Junheng hurriedly said to Liu Xiaodie.
"Yes." Liu Xiaodie walked quickly into the room, but soon came out with a complicated expression. She said softly, "Miss, Ziyuan...she is dead."
Shen Junheng was startled when he heard this. He lowered his head and remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Bury her next to Zheng Caiyi and give her a proper burial."
"Yes." Liu Xiaodie turned around to deal with Ziyuan's funeral.
He Pingzhi was lying naked on the bed, unconscious.
The servants slowly carried Zheng Ziyuan out, but did not cover He Pingzhi with a blanket.
Chen Congting asked, "Ah Heng, has the prince been staying at your house these days?"
Shen Junheng nodded slightly.
"You and him..." Shen Congting said solemnly, "Tomorrow my father and I will ask His Majesty to allow you and He Pingzhi to divorce. Once this is done, His Majesty will surely approve it. But even if you and He Pingzhi divorce, the current situation in the court is unclear, so you should not get too close to the Crown Prince."
"Brother, I understand." Shen Junheng nodded and changed the subject, "Princess Tujie has arrived in Beijing. I wonder who she plans to marry?"
Chen Congting said, "She had been interested in Xiao Linghe since she was at the border. I believe she is marrying him this time."
Shen Junheng was confused. He Pingzhi and Xiao Linghe were the official couple in the book and they loved each other deeply. The original owner was forced to marry He Pingzhi and was hated by He Pingzhi, so she was killed off early.
Now she is almost at the end of the story, and He Pingzhi has contracted that disease and won't be long. If Xiao Linghe still marries Princess Tujie, wouldn't it completely overturn the original ending of the book?
The protagonist died, and the official couple broke up. Can the author tolerate such a shocking ending?
Shen Junheng was very suspicious.
Shen Congting gave her a few instructions and left.
As soon as Shen Congting left, Shen Junheng immediately ordered people to wrap He Pingzhi in a straw mat and throw him back to his own mansion in disgust.
The next day, Shen Xiu asked several officials attending the banquet to impeach He Pingzhi for his poor personal ethics and bad behavior. He then begged the emperor to allow his daughter to divorce He Pingzhi.
If it were any other time, if He Pingzhi had caused such a scandal and humiliated the daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, even if the Emperor was angry, he would have allowed them to divorce and then reprimanded him a few words.
The Tang Dynasty prided itself on being a country of etiquette, but now that Princess Tu Jie had just arrived in the capital, she had heard of such lewd things. Wouldn't this be a laughing stock and a loss of the dignity of a great country?
The emperor was furious when he heard this. Not only did he immediately allow Shen Junheng to divorce him, he also dismissed him from his post as General Xuanwei.
When Shen Junheng received the imperial edict of divorce, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Nanny Xue came to tell her to return to the Shen family, but she politely declined.
Although she is the favorite of everyone in the Shen family and can feel the warmth of family love, she still prefers to live in her own Fanshuiju.
Anyway, we don’t live far away, so I can go back anytime when I miss them.
Although the Shen family was somewhat disappointed, they still respected her decision. No matter where she lived, she would always be the most favored legitimate daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat.
A few days later, Xiao Linghuan came to her house in high spirits, excitedly holding her hands and saying, "Ah Heng, I'm getting married!"
Shen Junheng was astonished, but also genuinely happy for her. He smiled and said, "That's truly a great event! Congratulations, Princess! Sun Youyu is willing to give up his promising career for you. He must really love you."
Xiao Jinhuan asked in confusion, "How do you know the prince consort is Sun Youyu?"
Shen Junheng said, "Although you've never said it, the way you look at Sun Youyu is different from the way you look at others. With your carefree personality, if it wasn't for the one you loved, why would you give up your carefree life and dismiss all those dozens of handsome lovers?"
Xiao Jinhuan couldn't help but hug her. Seeing that she didn't push him away, he was even happier. "As expected, Ah Heng understands me best. But when does Ah Heng plan to get married?"
