"Doctor Zhang said that you were severely injured earlier. If you forcefully abort the child now, you might not be able to have children in the future. So, Ling'er, for the sake of the Jingnan Palace's incense, you must give birth to this child."
Sikong Ling sat on the ground dejectedly, smiling bitterly, "Okay, I'll give birth."
"Do you have someone you like? If he is willing, I will let him marry you."
This was his last care for his sister.
Sikong Ling thought about it and decided that she had to choose someone who had status in the Jingnan Army and who liked her.
"Tang Xun, I like Tang Xun."
"Because of his serious injuries, Tang Xun's martial arts skills are less than 50% of what they were before, and his foundation has been damaged. It is unlikely that he will make any further progress in his lifetime. Are you sure you want to marry him?" Sikong Zhan confirmed again.
"Sure." Sikong Ling was even more satisfied. He had been worried that Tang Xun would dislike her and would not be willing to work for him. Now it seemed that as long as she was willing to put in some effort, Tang Xun, who had secretly liked her for so long and had lost his future, would sooner or later fall at her feet.
Sikong Zhan left Zhuangzi and took Sikong Ling with him.
He went to see Tang Xun alone.
Tang Xun was still recovering from his injuries, and Tang Xin was accompanying him, the two of them chatting and laughing.
Sikong Zhan was conflicted. If Sikong Ling liked anyone else, as long as they were not his enemy, he would let him marry Sikong Ling without any burden.
However, Tang Xun is different. Tang Xun is his brother who has been with him for many years. He has always hoped that he can marry the person he loves and live a happy life.
He sent Tang Xin away, inquired about Tang Xun's condition, and then asked solemnly:
"Tang Xun, you're already quite old. Have you ever thought about getting married? Do you have someone you like?"
If Tang Xun has someone he likes, he will find a way to deal with Sikong Ling. He will never let Tang Xun marry a woman he doesn't love.
A heroic figure appeared in Tang Xun's mind. He looked down at his wheelchair and shook his head.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I don't have anyone I like, and I don't want to get married now."
Sikong Zhan naturally saw that he was lying.
"I will do my best to heal your injury. Even if it fails, it will not affect your ability to display your talents. You don't need to feel inferior about it. Have you forgotten the military discipline of the Jingnan Army?"
According to the military discipline of the Jingnan Army, nothing may be concealed from the King of Jingnan.
Tang Xun quickly got out of the wheelchair and wanted to kneel down to apologize.
Sikong Zhan stopped him and pushed him back into the wheelchair, "Tell me the truth."
Tang Xun lowered his head and mustered up the courage to speak: "Actually, I fell in love with the princess the first time I saw her."
After saying that, he immediately raised his head.
"But, Your Majesty, I have never had any improper thoughts about the princess. I have always treated her as my master! I swear!"
Sikong Zhan didn't expect this result, and pondered for a moment.
"Ling'er told me today that she likes you."
Tang Xun was extremely surprised. He never thought that the woman he had liked for so long actually liked him too!
Sikong Zhan closed his eyes and said:
"Tang Xun, I have always considered you my brother, and I hope that what you say to me today comes from your heart.
"Ling'er was captured by Ye Cangmang and insulted by him. Now that she has a child, you..."
"Can I marry the princess?" Tang Xun insisted on getting out of the wheelchair and kneeling on the ground.
"I will treat the child in her belly as my own flesh and blood. I will love her forever. Please grant my wish, Your Highness!"
The girl he had carefully hidden in his heart for years had actually suffered such a great injustice! It was all his fault for not protecting her well! Since she also liked him, he would spend the rest of his life loving and protecting her...
Sikong Zhan helped him up and looked at him carefully to make sure that he was not reluctant at all: Maybe this is God's will.
"I'll send someone to take you to see the princess. You can discuss the marriage between yourselves."
Three days later, Tang Xun and Sikong Ling got married. Sikong Zhan appointed Tang Xun as the deputy commander of the Jingnan Army and personally presided over their wedding.
Tang Xun was not feeling well, and since no one offered him wine, he returned to the bridal chamber early.
In the bridal chamber, he lifted Sikong Ling's veil, looked at the bright and charming woman in front of him, thought of the first time he saw her, and gave her the most gentle smile.
"Tang Xun, thank you, thank you for not despising me." Sikong Ling lowered her head, tears in her eyes.
Tang Xun hugged her gently, "Princess, forget about those unpleasant things. Let me take good care of you and our child."
Sikong Ling was very happy in her heart. She pretended to be very touched. She raised her head and looked at him cautiously. "Kid, do you really not mind?"
Tang Xun bravely kissed her on the forehead. "Marrying you is the greatest happiness in my life. I hope you will always be that heroic little princess."
Sikong Ling slowly leaned into his arms, "Husband, will you always protect me and teach a lesson to those who hurt me?"
Tang Xun raised three fingers towards the sky.
"I, Tang Xun, swear on my life to protect the princess for the rest of my life."
…
Looking at the newlyweds today, Sikong Zhan suddenly remembered that he hadn't even given his Jinghan a complete wedding. He didn't even give her a wedding reception, wedding ceremony, or bridal chamber.
He couldn't help but think that she must have looked very beautiful in her wedding dress, but it was a pity that he didn't see it.
"Brother, everyone is drinking, why are you here alone?" Gu Liyue was holding two pots of wine in her hands. She handed him one and asked him to drink with her.
"Today is Ling'er's big day, let's celebrate for her together."
Gu Liyue followed Sikong Zhan all the way from Jingnan Palace to Jingnan. This time when Sikong Ling was getting married, there was no hostess in Jingnan Palace. She was basically the only one who managed the wedding, acting like a hostess.
She saw with her own eyes that Lin Jinghan and her senior brother divorced. At that time, she was on the floor not far away. She knew that her chance had come.
But Lin Jinghan was so shameless! She had already been divorced, yet she actually climbed into Senior Brother's bed!
Fortunately, her senior brother had driven that shameless woman out. Now, her senior brother was hers alone, and she wanted to take this opportunity to ask her senior brother to marry her. She and her senior brother were a match made in heaven!
"It's late, go to bed early and drink less." Sikong Zhan did not take her wine jug.
"Let's just drink one pot, okay? Senior brother, will you drink with me~~" Gu Liyue pulled Sikong Zhan's sleeve.
The old man had attacked Nanzhao just for him. If he hadn't heard the news of his recovery, who knows what he would have done to Nanzhao. For the sake of his old man, and thinking of Gu Liyue's busy in and out of the Jingnan Palace these days, Sikong Zhan didn't refuse her anymore and drank the whole pot of wine in one gulp.
"We've finished our drink, let's go back."
