Chapter 262: The Obstacle That Can't Be Overcome
"Dad, I am glad to see you..."
Inside Prince Xuan's mansion, Xie Zhuoning was writing a letter to his father, informing him in advance that he had abdicated the crown prince, so that he could be mentally prepared.
If something happens here, they can respond as soon as possible.
After she finished writing, she put the letter into the envelope and was about to seal it with wax when she saw a figure running in hurriedly.
"Sister Zhuo Ning, Sister Zhuo Ning, they said that you and His Royal Highness Prince Xuan are going to get married. Is that true?"
Song Yuqiu's eyes widened with excitement, his face full of interest, and he started gossiping without even taking a breath.
Xie Zhuoning carefully sealed the wax and said without raising his head, "It hasn't even started yet."
Unless the emperor arranges a marriage, the royal family has a very strict process for selecting concubines.
If Xiao Jinxuan wants to marry her, he must obtain the consent of the clan house.
Although under normal circumstances, there are rarely any objections from the clan house.
But who said her situation was unusual?
She was once the Crown Princess and almost became the wife of Xiao Jinxuan's nephew, but her engagement was broken off twice.
How could the royal family allow such a notorious woman to marry Xiao Jinxuan?
Not to mention that there are the Empress Dowager, Prince Yong, the Crown Prince and others standing in their way, making their marriage a success would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Song Yuqiu was stunned. She originally thought that the two of them could be together as long as they loved each other, but it turned out that there were so many considerations involved.
Her face became visibly disappointed. "When I heard that you were going to move to Prince Xuan's Mansion, I thought you were already together."
"Just stay out of the spotlight for now." Xie Zhuoning stood up and handed the sealed letter to Xia Ju to send out. Then he turned back and said, "Not only me, but also you and Mr. Murong. Anyone who is related to me should keep a low profile recently and don't go out carelessly."
Such a serious tone made Song Yuqiu's heart tremble. She hurried over and asked, "What's going on? Sister Zhuo Ning, have you done something wrong?"
"Yeah." Xie Zhuoning was quite calm. He even picked up the tea on the table, took a sip slowly, and then said, "I killed the prince."
"I thought it was something else. It was just that the prince was given to..." Song Yuqiu was startled. He suddenly jumped up and his voice changed. "What did you just say? You gave the prince to... gave him to?!"
She even suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, or that Sister Zhuoning had made a slip of the tongue.
It was not until she saw Xie Zhuoning nodded and tacitly agreed to the matter that she came back to her senses.
"No, Sister Zhuo Ning, you are too brave. You dare to do such a thing as exterminating nine generations of your clan! Why don't we stay out of the spotlight in Prince Xuan's Mansion for the time being and quickly pack up our gold, silver, and soft things and run away!"
Yang Lie and Wen Yan are in Nanyang, and the emperor is far away. They should be able to survive if they change their names.
Having said that, he was about to drag Xie Zhuoning away.
Xie Zhuoning said with a smile, "I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet. On your way here, have you heard about me abdicating the prince?"
Song Yuqiu shook his head, "Not really."
"That's right." Xie Zhuoning continued, "Xiao Bicheng will never reveal the fact that he was imprisoned, so there is no way to convict me openly, and there is naturally no such thing as exterminating the entire clan."
Song Yuqiu understood immediately, and suddenly realized, "So even if the prince wants to take revenge on you, he will only do it secretly, so we have to live in Prince Xuan's mansion and let Prince Xuan's mansion protect us?"
"Yeah, smart."
"That's great. We don't have to be exterminated!"
Song Yuqiu breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the armchair.
In such a short period of time, she even thought of her will.
Xie Zhuoning looked at her with amusement, "The nine clans of extermination are the four clans of the father, the three clans of the mother, and the two clans of the wife. You have no relationship with the Xie family, and you are the wife of the Marquis of Changxing. No matter how hard they try, they can't punish you, so there's no need to be so scared."
Unexpectedly, Song Yuqiu said seriously, "But if something happens to you, Sister Zhuoning, how can I stay out of it? Even if I have to risk my life, I will go to save you!"
Xie Zhuoning raised his eyebrows in surprise. Seeing her solemn face and serious words, his heart felt as if it was soaked in warm water, warm and swollen.
To have such a good sister, she felt that her life was worthwhile.
However, Song Yuqiu's words also reminded her that she should not be so impulsive next time and should plan carefully and think twice before acting.
Otherwise, if something really happens, not only will your own life be in danger, but it will also implicate everyone around you.
After gathering his thoughts, Xie Zhuoning said, "Ayu, I want you to help someone heal."
"Hmm? For whom?" Song Yuqiu paused, and suddenly thought of something, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, "Do you want me to help the prince reconnect his penis?"
Xie Zhuoning was also obviously stunned. "If it's disconnected, can it be reconnected?"
"It's not impossible..." Song Yuqiu touched the back of his head, "but it needs to be operated on within a very short time after the injury. However, we don't have the conditions for surgery here, so even if we can operate, there is a high probability of failure. In severe cases, the patient may be infected and life-threatening."
In other words, the possibility of being able to connect is very small.
Xie Zhuoning laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Hahaha, Xiao Bicheng, you have come to this day too!"
In her mind, the medical skills of the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital were not as good as Song Yuqiu's.
Even Song Yuqiu said he couldn't connect, so it seems Xiao Bicheng is really useless.
But he only lost his life, this is nothing. Compared with what he did in his past life and now, it would not be too much to cut him into pieces. Now he is just collecting some interest!
Song Yuqiu tilted her head in confusion, "Since I'm not treating the prince, then who do you want me to treat, Sister Zhuoning?"
Waving for her to come closer, Xie Zhuoning whispered a few words in her ear and asked her, "...can you do it?"
A look of surprise appeared on his face, and Song Yuqiu came back to his senses, frowning slightly, "Let me try."
As for whether it would be successful or not, she couldn't guarantee it.
"It's okay," Xie Zhuoning smiled and patted her shoulder, not putting too much pressure on her. "Just do your best, and leave the rest to fate."
"Yeah." Song Yuqiu nodded.
With such an important task on her shoulders, it seems she needs to make some preparations.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Xie Zhuoning ask again with a little hesitation, "By the way, Ah Yu, can I ask you a personal question?"
Song Yuqiu raised her head quickly, "Sister Zhuoning, go ahead."
"Do you know that there is a disease that prevents you from touching a woman or else you become completely paralyzed?"
"Hehehe, Sister Zhuoning, you are talking about His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, right? This is not called a disease, this is called destiny. It's written like that in novels, the male protagonist cannot touch women, he can only touch the female protagonist, and then the two of them do this and that..."
"Hmm?" Xie Zhuoning recalled, "But the last few times I met him, he was also ill."
If it weren't for his illness, how could she have used him, teased him, and stripped him naked?
"Huh?" Song Yuqiu widened his eyes and was stunned.
This is a little different from what she thought!
Xie Zhuoning continued, "But later on he seemed to have overcome the disease, and there was no chance to plot against him anymore."
There was a hint of regret in his tone.
Song Yuqiu pinched her chin, thinking, "According to what you said, Sister Zhuoning, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is not ill, but he is just having some problems, right?"
"Is it a hurdle that you can't overcome?" Xie Zhuoning frowned slightly, a little absent-minded.
