Chapter 1058: Marry her, have you asked me?
It seemed that he didn't even intend to tell me this news.
I don't even plan to save Xinping.
Nan Yan was silent for a long time facing the closed door. Although her facial expression did not change at all and her eyes looked even more solemn, at this moment, she had secretly made a decision in her heart.
Since you don't care...
Then, my daughter, I will save her myself!
As she thought about this, she slowly turned her head and reached out to push open the window on one side of the room. Because it was on the second floor, although it was not facing the street, there were many people walking downstairs, and there were also guards like Zhu Feng who were stationed around to secretly protect the inn.
Now is not the time.
We have to wait until dark...
She looked up at the sky, and at this moment, she was extremely hoping that it would get dark soon.
And under the same sky, another person, who originally had a close relationship with her, was now silently hoping that the sky would never get dark.
It would be best if this day never passed.
However, begging for the sky to get dark quickly is asking for too much, and begging for the sky to never get dark is even more of a luxury.
The sky was still getting darker and darker in her eyes.
As the sun set, servants hung lanterns under the eaves of houses everywhere, including in the surrounding courtyards and gardens. Red lanterns were also hung early. When they were lit at this time, a sea of red light appeared.
It is the color of great joy.
It is also to prepare for tomorrow.
Zhu Xuan walked all the way over and looked at the joyous courtyard, feeling even more proud, because he knew that the news that he was going to take Ran Xiaoyu as his concubine had spread throughout the entire Changqing City today, and it was even possible that it had spread outside the city.
He didn't believe that Zhu Feng could still sit still.
Even if Zhu Feng could sit still, how could Si Nanyan sit still?
Tomorrow, there will be a good show.
The more he thought about it, the more proud he felt. He walked to the courtyard where Ran Xiaoyu was imprisoned. When he looked up, he saw that the lights were on in the room, casting a pretty figure on the window.
Zhu Xuan walked forward and pushed open the door.
Sure enough, I saw Ran Xiaoyu sitting alone at the table, staring at the candlelight on the table.
"Why are you still not sleeping so late?"
Although the lights were bright all around, there was no light in Ran Xiaoyu's eyes.
She looked coldly at the candlelight in front of her. Even though the flames flickered, they could not warm the coldness in her eyes.
Hearing Zhu Xuan's words, she slowly turned her head.
The look in those eyes was as sharp as a knife, almost piercing into his body.
But Zhu Xuan just smiled and walked in slowly: "Why aren't you sleeping yet? Do you want to go to the wedding ceremony tomorrow with red eyes and a haggard face?"
Ran Xiaoyu said coldly: "I said, I won't marry you."
“…”
"You're dreaming."
No matter who said this to the dignified Prince Ning, it would be a heinous crime punishable by beheading. However, when Zhu Xuan heard her words, he simply smiled and said, "I have said that tomorrow, you will know whether everything is real or a dream."
“…”
"Why don't you go to bed early tonight?"
“…”
"Maybe tomorrow, I can daydream a little less?"
His words were both sarcastic and proud, causing Ran Xiaoyu to grit her teeth. She said coldly, "Don't think I don't know what you are planning. You don't really want to marry me. You want to use this news to let the people in the city know that I am in your hands."
“…”
"You want to force out the Emperor, the Imperial Concubine, and the others!"
“…”
"You won't get what you want!"
“…”
"They won't fall for your tricks!"
Zhu Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at her angry expression, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are really smart, but too impulsive."
“…”
"But if we really can't force them out as we wish—that's fine too, isn't it?"
He slowly walked in front of Ran Xiaoyu and gently lifted her chin with the fan in his hand: "Then tomorrow will really be our wedding night."
"Pooh!"
Ran Xiaoyu pushed his hand away.
"I told you, I won't let you have your way!"
Although he had thought her stubbornness and defiance seemed very cute before, and that she also had a bit of straightforwardness that others didn't have, at this moment, Zhu Xuan frowned.
He simply reached out and grabbed her pointed chin, forcing her to look up at him.
"Ran Xiaoyu, listen!"
“…”
"Whatever this king wants, no one needs to give it to him. He will take it himself!"
“…”
"You are in my hand now. It doesn't matter whether you give it to me or not. What matters is that I want it! As long as I want it, there is no room for you to resist!"
“…”
After saying this, he let out a deep breath, then released his chin which had been pinched to the point of pain, turned around and walked out.
Ran Xiaoyu looked at his back, her face slightly gloomy.
Indeed, although Zhu Xuan had openly rebelled against the emperor and the court, he had always been smiling and playboy-like in front of her, which made her never look him in the eye, let alone bother to look him in the eye.
But now, she saw a more real Zhu Xuan.
Just now, that was his true appearance.
Whatever he wanted, he had to get on his own, including himself and the throne he wanted.
If anyone tries to stop him, he will bare his fangs, bite, and even kill. She saw clearly the murderous intent that flashed in his eyes just now.
This is the real him.
So tomorrow's wedding will indeed be a show, just as he said.
only--
Will the emperor and the imperial concubine really come?
I handed Princess Xinping over to the young monk Mingxin. Can he take her to find the imperial concubine? Even if he doesn't find the imperial concubine, can he escape from the pursuit of Prince Ning's Mansion?
All of this was like a knife cutting her heart.
Ran Xiaoyu clenched her fists and murmured, "No matter what, I won't let you get what you want."

After nightfall, a curfew is imposed in Changqing City.
There was almost no one on the street, and it was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard.
However, in the long, backlit alley, groups of people were moving back and forth. They silently crossed the long street, climbed up the tall buildings, and explored everything in the city.
At the same time, outside the city, a team was slowly approaching under the cover of night.
Soon, they arrived at the city gate.
The leader was wearing a black cloak and a hat that covered most of his face.
The whole person seemed to blend into the darkness.
Only when he raised his head and looked at the three big words "Changqing City" on the city wall, the cold moonlight reflected in his eyes, could he see those eyes clearly.
She usually smiles and is usually gentle, but at this moment, there is a hint of coldness in her.
"Changqing City."
He read it word by word, and then slowly said: "Have you asked me before marrying her?"
