Chapter 24: The Eccentric Emperor vs. the Powerful Minister’s Wife (24)



Zhou Huaiqian was startled and suddenly raised his head!

He opened his mouth slightly and was about to speak, but Song Wenjing hooked his finger, and the eunuch behind him gestured and hurriedly walked up to Zhou Huaiqian with the imperial edict.

"General Zhou, please accept the order."

Zhou Huaiqian did not answer, but looked straight at Song Wenjing who was sitting in the main seat.

The father-in-law frowned and hurriedly moved a few steps to the right to block Zhou Huaiqian's sight.

How dare you look directly at His Majesty at this moment? Are you tired of living?!

"General Zhou, will you accept the order?"

The father-in-law looked down at Zhou Huaiqian and emphasized his tone.

Zhou Huaiqian's nails dug into his flesh without him noticing. Although he was extremely reluctant to divorce Jiang Jingyu, now that the imperial edict was before him and the emperor was present in person, he had no choice but to accept it.

To be precise, he didn't dare to have a second choice, because the second choice would be disobeying the order!

He couldn't and wouldn't disobey the emperor's orders and risk his career, property and life for a woman.

What's more, she was a woman who was only his wife in name only and they had never been his real wife.

Not to mention that they are not actually husband and wife, even if they are, as long as His Majesty likes her, he will not hesitate to send her to His Majesty personally!

Using a woman in exchange for his future success, this deal is worth it!

Zhou Huaiqian took a deep breath and raised his hands above his head.

"Your Majesty... accepts the order!"

The eunuch placed the bright yellow imperial edict in Zhou Huaiqian's hand, and then stood behind Song Wenjing again.

Song Wenjing remained calm and was not surprised by Zhou Huaiqian's attitude.

Zhou Huaiqian clutched the imperial edict and knocked his forehead to the ground again.

"I thank Your Majesty for taking the initiative for me. You not only allowed me to divorce the person I disliked, but also saved my reputation!"

Zhou Huaiqian still hasn't forgotten to flatter Song Wenjing, as if nothing happened last night.

Song Wenjing stood up and walked slowly towards Zhou Huaiqian.

A pair of black boots embroidered with gold came into Zhou Huaiqian's sight, and a tall shadow also pressed down.

Zhou Huaiqian's body stiffened and he banged his head hard on the ground.

Song Wenjing looked down at him and said word by word, "It's a divorce, not a divorce."

Zhou Huaiqian was breathless under the pressure from the flatulent figure. Despite the churning in his chest, he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes! It's a divorce, not a divorce. I made a mistake. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

It was not until the sinister atmosphere above his head disappeared and Song Wenjing's breath left the guest room that Zhou Huaiqian raised his head and slumped to the ground.

His face was hideous and ferocious, completely different from the docile subject just now!

The imperial edict in his hand had been wrinkled by him. Zhou Huaiqian turned his head and stared at Song Wenjing's leaving figure. He did not withdraw his gaze until Song Wenjing's figure disappeared from his sight.

After Song Wenjing issued the divorce edict to Zhou Huaiqian, he did not leave the general's mansion, but went to Nanyuan.

In addition to the divorce edict, he also had another edict left for Jiang Jingyu.

Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu had just prepared the medicinal food for Jiang Jingyu and were about to bring it into Jiang Jingyu's room when Song Wenjing's figure came into their sight.

Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu hurried over and stood in front of Song Wenjing.

"Stop! You, you, you, who are you? How did you get into Nanyuan? Get out of here immediately! This is not the place for you!"

The young lady and the general have just consummated their marriage. If the general knew that a man had broken into the young lady's courtyard, I'm afraid there would be another misunderstanding!

"How dare you! Why don't you pay your respects to His Majesty?"

The eunuch behind Song Wenjing shouted sternly, frightening Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty?

Is this person His Majesty?

Never mind, just kneel down first!

Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your servants pay their respects to Your Majesty!"

Qiu Shuang was so nervous that she almost spilled the medicinal food in her hand!

Song Wenjing didn't argue with them and said calmly, "Give it to me."

"ah?"

Qiu Shuang was stunned and subconsciously raised her head, but when she saw the godlike man, she quickly lowered her head.

The eunuch was worried about Qiu Shuang and hurriedly reminded her, "Why don't you give the medicinal food to His Majesty?!"

Qiu Shuang then realized that Song Wenjing was talking about the medicinal food in her hand, and she raised it above her head tremblingly.

“Yes, yes!”

Song Wenjing held the medicine bowl with his big hand, walked past the two maids, and went straight to the door of Jiang Jingyu's room.

When Song Wenjing arrived at the door, he paused for a moment and tightened his hand slightly on the door.

As long as this door is opened, there will be no turning back between them.

She might hate him, might blame him, or might never forgive him in her entire life.

He admitted all of this.

He had taken her when she didn't know her identity or even her existence.

He was willing to bear these consequences.

Song Wenjing tried every possible way, but he didn't dare to think that Jiang Jingyu would accept him.

He paused in front of her door for a moment, and finally pushed it open.

Her scent came towards him, Song Wenjing's eyes darkened and he walked in.

Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu heard the noise behind them but didn't dare to look back, stand up, or even stop it.

The two of them were in mixed feelings. They really couldn't understand why His Majesty appeared in the General's Mansion, why he appeared in Nanyuan, and now he even broke into the young lady's room!

Miss, you should not have woken up yet, right?

What should I do? Should I report this to the general?

Thinking of Zhou Huaiqian, Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu's eyes lit up. Now the only one who could save the young lady was the general!

The two of them were about to get up when they found that their father-in-law, who came with Song Wenjing, was looking at them.

The two were startled and their straightened bodies bent down in an instant.
