Chapter 31 Shameless Ling Fengxun
Ling Fengxun’s cold voice was free of emotion: “I naturally dare not disobey.”
Emperor Beiling was about to breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that Ling Fengxun had figured it out.
But the next moment,
“So I did not ask for the imperial decree to grant marriage, but instead snatched the bride.”
Emperor Beiling: “”
He had never seen such a shameless person!
He felt that sooner or later he would be pissed off by Ling Fengxun.
If it was someone else who dared to talk to him like this, he would definitely order someone to drag him down and chop him off without saying a word.
But this person was Ling Fengxun!
The regent of Beiling State, and also the patron saint of Beiling State.
He allowed him to be a little willful and not abide by etiquette. Even the power of government was handed over to him.
Other things could be tolerated, but not the prince's marriage.
He must abide by the late emperor's will, and no one can violate it, not even Ling Fengxun.
"This forced marriage is not legitimate, and Miss An has not agreed. Aren't you destroying the girl's innocence by doing this? If you really like her, you shouldn't use this method. In the end, you hurt her!" Emperor
Beiling said earnestly.
This time, without waiting for Ling Fengxun to answer, An Yunxi spoke, "I am willing, Yunxi is willing!"
Emperor Beiling: ""
The prince's face turned ashen with anger, and he wished he could strangle An Yunxi to death for daring to interrupt.
"Father, did you hear what An Yunxi said? It was clearly she who was shameless enough to seduced the emperor's uncle, and she also slandered me for having an affair with someone else. It's simply..."
An Yunxi raised her eyes and looked at the prince without fear, "How can these two things be confused? It was because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince betrayed the engagement that Yunxi turned to like Uncle Shang Yan. Now Yunxi is extremely disappointed with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I hope Your Majesty can agree to Yunxi's cancellation of the engagement!" Emperor
Beiling had a headache on his face, "Xi girl, do you mean that you want to cancel the engagement with the Crown Prince and marry King Shang Yan?"
An Yunxi was also very bold, "Yes, Your Majesty."
When Emperor Beiling heard her say this, he did not get angry at all, but his voice became softer.
"But I heard that you have liked the prince for a long time. If the prince really makes a mistake, I will punish him. You don't have to be angry with the prince because of such a small matter."
Emperor Beiling still felt that An Yunxi's words were all angry.
He was quite satisfied with his son. He was one of the best among the nobles since he was a child, and his age was similar to An Yunxi.
He has never had any concubines, and he is not like those playboys who linger in the brothels. He is not weak in literary talent and martial arts, and he is also the prince of the throne.
He felt that no woman could resist the temptation of the identity of the crown princess.
An Yunxi shook her head. "I know that it is common for the royal family to have three wives and four concubines. Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had concubines and maids by his side before I entered the palace, I have no right to raise any objections. But what the Crown Prince did was really unbearable for Yunxi. Before Yunxi's wedding, the Crown Prince and his concubine sister had sex at home. Not only did Yunxi not see anyone, but it also brought shame to the royal family!"
The Crown Prince's heart trembled violently, and it was obvious that he could not hold back his anger. "An Yunxi, you are simply slandering me!"
An Yunxi raised her eyes and said, "No outside men are allowed to enter the backyard garden of my house. If something from the Crown Prince is really found there, can it prove that what Yunxi said is true?"
The empty Yangxin Palace was extremely quiet.
Even the emperor did not speak for a while.
It seemed like a long time had passed before Emperor Beiling nodded slightly, "If what you said is true, I will definitely severely punish the prince and let you vent your anger."
An Yunxi said in a firm voice, "Yunxi only wants to cancel the engagement with the prince."
However, Emperor Beiling was very tough, "Yunxi, I can help you punish the prince, and I can also block the news and prevent anyone from spreading bad words about you to protect your reputation, but the only thing I can't agree to is canceling the engagement."
An Yunxi was stunned. This time she raised her face, forgot all the rules, and looked at the emperor high above her.
"Your Majesty, Yunxi no longer has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in her heart, and she is even less willing to marry him. I believe the Crown Prince is the same. Since the Crown Prince and I dislike each other, why don't you allow the marriage to be cancelled?"
Emperor Beiling said, "I have already said that your marriage with the Crown Prince was decided by the late Emperor, and no one in Beiling can go against the late Emperor's will. You are the Crown Princess appointed by the late Emperor, and no one can shake your position. Do you understand what I mean?"
An Yunxi's lips turned pale.
It seems that she thought things were too simple.
Seeing the Crown Prince standing aside with a frustrated look, she knew that this guy must have made a lot of efforts to cancel the engagement.
But he failed, and was forced to show a look of deep affection for her.
What is the secret in this?
Ling Fengyan's expression did not change when he heard the Emperor's words.
As if he had expected this result.
An Yunxi quietly walked to Ling Fengxun's side and looked him in the eye.
Did Ling Fengxun know this would be the result? That's why he didn't allow her to come over when he got on the carriage. She
lowered her head and thought for a moment, then mustered up the courage to ask, "Your Majesty, can I ask the reason?"
She wanted to know the truth that she had to marry the prince.
However,
"Didn't I tell you? It's because of the will of the late emperor."
"Is that the only reason?" An Yunxi asked.
Emperor Beiling nodded, calmly, "Yes."
Knowing that she couldn't get an answer from Emperor Beiling, An Yunxi felt a little depressed.
Emperor Beiling continued, "If you decide to cancel the engagement, it would be disobeying the emperor's order, which is a crime punishable by the extermination of all nine clans. Do you still have the courage, girl?"
An Yunxi's body turned cold and stiff.
Ling Fengyan saw her face turn pale in an instant, and a trace of heartache flashed across his eyes.
The fingers hanging at her side clenched slightly.
He suddenly pulled An Yunxi into his arms in front of the emperor, "She did not disobey the emperor's order, it was I who took her by force."
This is the only way.
If he wants to be with An Yunxi, he can only ignore the law and snatch her by force!
An Yunxi felt the arm around her waist exerting force.
The Regent beside her seemed to want to hold her tightly in his arms.
The emperor's face changed, but he said in a deep voice: "Prince Xian, if you want me not to be angry with her, you will bear all the blame yourself."
Ling Fengxun and the emperor looked at each other, "How do you plan to punish me, brother?"
The dark blue eyes seemed to be surging with huge waves.
It was also like an abyss that could not be seen to the bottom.
Hearing that his father was going to punish Ling Fengxun, the prince immediately perked up, his eyes full of expectation.
But suddenly, there were footsteps at the door, and a young eunuch announced: "Your Majesty, the person who went to the general's mansion to look for evidence has returned!"
