Chapter 389: Breaking off Relationship
When they heard that Nalan Zhuer had arrived, the King of Southern Xinjiang and Gu Xueyi both changed their expressions.
The King of Southern Xinjiang said with an unnatural expression: "Tell her to wait in the reception room. We will be there soon."
The King of Southern Xinjiang actually didn't want to see his daughter anymore.
There is guilt, a guilty conscience, and some indifference and alienation that one does not want to admit.
Otherwise, just send someone to the backyard and call the women over...
The servant responded and added, "By the way, sir, Miss Pearl said she must see you."
The King of Nanjiang who wanted to hide away: "..."
Gu Xueyi beside him sighed and said, "Brother-in-law, I'll go with you to take a look."
There are some things that cannot be avoided.
And to be honest, they were the ones who were sorry to Zhu'er.
At this time, Nalan Zhu'er was sitting in the reception room with her hands on her knees, her palms a little wet.
Cen Jue stayed beside her and whispered, "If you don't want to see them anymore, let's leave now."
Nalan Zhuer shook her head, "We have come this far, and we have to make a decision."
Cen Jue was really worried that she would feel unwell, so he brought the court physician with him, as he was worried that Nalan Zhuer would get agitated later, and he also did not trust the doctor in the Nalan Mansion.
I don’t know how long it took, but finally, footsteps were heard.
The King of Nanjiang and Gu Xueyi walked in one after another.
Nalan Zhu'er's biological mother had passed away, so the two men who came in were her closest people.
As soon as the two came in, they were stunned when they saw Nalan Zhuer's bulging belly.
King of Southern Xinjiang: "Zhu'er, you actually..."
Nalan Zhu'er: "Father, are you surprised to see that I can still get pregnant? But don't doubt it, the poison you used before worked."
"Not only did it almost make me unable to be a mother anymore, it even damaged the foundation of my body."
"If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet a noble person who cured me, I would not only never be able to be a mother, but I would also probably be weak and sickly."
The King of Southern Xinjiang murmured, "That shouldn't be the case. The poison is just making it difficult for you to get pregnant..."
Nalan Zhuer laughed at herself, "Father, don't you know that medicine is three parts poison?"
"I came to Da Chu as a hostage for Southern Xinjiang. Why do you want me to be unable to be a mother?"
Gu Xueyi looked at Cen Jue beside him and sighed, "Zhu'er, Da Chu has a grudge against us, so how could we let you have a Chu child?"
"Besides, we always believed that the peace talks were only temporary and we would definitely bring you back in the future."
"If you had the Chu man's child at that time, why would you be willing to give it up?"
Nalan Zhuer looked at her uncle and asked, "Then why were you willing to give me up in the first place?"
"If you don't want me to give birth to Chu's child, why don't you just tell me directly?"
"I could have found a random man to marry, but I wouldn't have had a child with him. But you chose to poison me!"
This is what makes Nalan Zhuer most uncomfortable.
The stab that hurts the most comes from the loved ones you care about.
Gu Xueyi: "No, Zhu'er, uncle cares about you! In the beginning, uncle didn't agree with you coming to marry!"
Nalan Zhu'er shook her head and said, "No, insisting on coming to Da Chu to marry was the best decision I ever made."
"As for you, you all, I used to treat you as my family so sincerely, but in fact you are all very selfish."
The King of Southern Xinjiang turned his face away.
But Gu Xueyi's face flushed, "Zhu'er, before we came here, your grandmother asked you if you were living well here."
"She misses you very much."
"But it was indeed wrong of us to poison you, but this matter has nothing to do with your grandmother and the others."
"When you get back, can you write to her and reassure her?"
Gu Xueyi's mother, Madam Gu, the biological mother of the late Queen of Southern Xinjiang, is very old.
Coupled with this serious incident, she may not live long.
Gu Xueyi didn't want Zhu'er to feel too disappointed, and wanted to let her know that her family still cared about her.
But Nalan Zhuer shook her head.
"Does Grandma really care about me?"
not necessarily.
If I cared, I would have told her the truth at the beginning, and told her what she would face if she insisted on coming to Da Chu as a hostage.
The corners of Gu Xueyi's mouth trembled, "Zhu'er, I'm sorry."
The King of Southern Xinjiang hesitated for a while, and also said: "Zhu'er, I'm sorry."
Any explanation now seems like an excuse.
Because they did poison Zhu'er.
Indeed, she will never be able to be a mother in this life.
However, seeing that she is pregnant now and her husband still cares about her so much, they feel very relieved.
Nalan Zhu'er looked at them apologizing to her and suddenly felt that everything was meaningless.
She doesn't hate anymore.
But, I don’t care anymore.
Nalan Zhuer stood up and said to Cen Jue, "Ajue, I want to go home."
This is the Nalan Mansion, but it is no longer Nalan Zhuer's home.
Cen Jue nodded, reached out to support her, and the couple walked out slowly.
The King of Southern Xinjiang actually wanted to say a few more words to her, "Zhu'er, are you leaving just like that? Although we are sorry for poisoning you, it also happened for a reason."
"Just forgive us, okay?"
They are now in Da Chu, equivalent to prisoners.
However, I heard that Zhu'er's husband's adoptive father is now the only king of a different surname in Da Chu. If they have a good relationship with Zhu'er's family, they may gain some benefits in the future.
Gu Xueyi understood what the King of Nanjiang meant, but he chose to remain silent.
The King of Southern Xinjiang glared at him, "Say something, too!"
Gu Xueyi didn't say anything.
He didn't have the face to ask Zhu'er to help them again, and they didn't deserve it.
At this time, Nalan Zhu'er had already walked to the door. She raised her foot, but put it down again.
She looked back at them, "Father, uncle, I forgive you."
The King of Southern Xinjiang felt relieved when he heard this, and a smile spread across his face. "That's right. After all, we are all a family, and now you can have children, right?"
"When the baby is born, let's walk around more often. No matter what, I am the child's grandfather."
"besides……"
Nalan Zhu'er shook her head, "Today is the last time I call you father."
"After I leave here, I will sever all ties with the Nalan family!"
King of Southern Xinjiang: "You! You!"
Nalan Zhu'er held Cen Jue's hand tightly, glanced at her uncle Gu Xueyi who was sighing, then turned and left.
"Pearl! Pearl! You can't--"
The King of Southern Xinjiang had just chased for a few steps when he was caught by Gu Xueyi.
The King of Southern Xinjiang glared at him, "Why are you stopping me? Go stop Zhu'er! Do you want to be a prisoner here for the rest of your life?"
Gu Xueyi: "At this point, are you still planning to use Zhu'er?"
King of Southern Xinjiang: "I didn't want to use her, I just wanted to live a better life, what's wrong with that?"
Gu Xueyi: "You are not wrong, and Zhu'er is disappointed with us relatives and wants to sever ties with us, which is not wrong either."
King of Southern Xinjiang: “…”
Here, Nalan Zhu'er got on the carriage. She pursed her lips, her face full of grievance and discomfort.
"Ajue, I want to cry."
Cen Jue reached out and carefully held her in his arms, saying gently: "Cry if you want to. Now there are only me and the child in the carriage. We are all your family."
"But don't cry too excitedly. Be careful with the child."
When the wheels of the carriage started to move, tears rolled down Nalan Zhu'er's eyes one by one.
She cried heartily but suppressed her feelings.
Cen Jue stayed with her all the time, and when her tears gradually subsided, he said gently:
“Everyone loses something in their life, but at the same time, they also gain something.”
"God treats each of us fairly."
"Look at me, for example. I have lost a lot, but don't I have you and my child? I am very satisfied with everything I have now."
Nalan Zhu'er wiped her tears with a handkerchief and snuggled in his arms.
"You're right. Although I lost many family members, I also gained many family members. Sometimes, it's not the blood relatives who treat you best."
She raised her head, her eyes were red from crying, but her pupils were bright.
She said, "Ajue, I let it go."
I was unwilling to give in, but I still had to make this trip.
But when she found out that at this time, her father actually wanted to talk to her about family affection and asked her to help the entire Nalan family, Nalan Zhu'er was completely heartbroken.
If she no longer had any expectations of them, then they would never be able to hurt her again.
"Ajue, let's go back early. Didn't our godfather say that his birthday is coming up? We have to prepare the best gift for him!"
"good."
The two of them are no longer the poor little ones abandoned by their family.
They all have new families now.
The young couple began to discuss seriously what birthday gift to choose for their adoptive father, the King of Northern Frontier.
King Chen Qi of Northern Frontier is still on his way and will be able to return to Beijing in February.
The first day of March was his 60th birthday.
The Northern Frontier Palace now attaches great importance to this matter. After Chen Ya returned from Southern Frontier, she first took everyone to clean up the palace.
Originally, Emperor Minghe wanted to reward the Chen family with a new palace, but Chen Ya refused.
She said they were all used to living in this courtyard, and that this courtyard was big enough and was no worse than those of the dukes' mansions.
The Chen family are brave and good at fighting, but they are also very dutiful and understand the principle that a tall tree attracts the wind.
Not only that, after Chen Ya came back, she immediately gathered all the elders of the clan and reminded everyone to be careful with their words and actions.
She now has a high status and is the pillar of the family. On the surface, no one dares to disobey her.
However, these people also began to pay attention secretly.
The Crown Prince Chen Yunting is far away in the northern frontier, and the eldest princess has no plans to get married again, so can they adopt their own son to the eldest princess?
Chen Ya had injured her body during childbirth before, so her situation was different.
Last time in the East Palace, although she concealed it well, Lin Qingning still saw the loneliness in her eyes.
Although Chen Ya doesn't care much about men anymore, she is good enough and doesn't need a man at all.
But she really likes children.
So Lin Qingning called Wei Shuhe and they discussed the matter.
"Shu He, when Aya came back this time, did you check her pulse? How is her health?"
