Chapter 272 He runs away, she chases him, he can't get away even if he has wings

The Empress Dowager glared at Xiao Jinxuan for a long time with a look of dismay, "You... forget it, my family is old, I can't take care of your affairs anymore, get out of here!"

In the end, she put her hands to her head in pain, and felt that she should not have come back.

There aren't so many troubles in Yuntai Mountain.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was not going to intervene, Zhuang Qingyi became so anxious that her face turned pale and her voice became tearful, "Grandfather..."

When the Empress Dowager heard Zhuang Qingyi calling her, she finally remembered her original purpose.

"Wait," she stopped Xiao Jinxuan and said, "It's not impossible for you to marry Xie Zhuoning..."

Before Xiao Jinxuan and Xie Zhuoning could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard the Empress Dowager continue, "But you have to marry Qingyi as well. She said that she is willing to take a step back and be your concubine. You just need to give her a child so that she can have someone to rely on for the rest of her life."

She was old and couldn't protect Qingyi for much longer. She was also weak and she was always afraid that without protection, she would not live long.

How can the old woman feel at ease if she is not settled in a good place?

Xie Zhuoning was somewhat tempted when he heard the proposal.

To her, it was just a matter of having more pairs of chopsticks and more yards.

But it was able to gain the Empress Dowager's consent and grant of marriage, what a bargain!

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinxuan flatly refused, "My grandson doesn't want to."

"What did you say?" The Empress Dowager looked at him in surprise.

She has already compromised and is even willing to let Xie Zhuoning be his principal wife. Why is he still unwilling?

Xiao Jinxuan's eyes were sharp as he spoke word by word, "Sun'er only wants to marry one person in his life. Qingyi can choose someone better. There is no need for her to be subservient to Sun'er. Sun'er cannot give her what she wants."

Such straightforward words almost crushed all the room for maneuver.

Zhuang Qingyi's eyes were filled with tears and she bit her lips tightly. She couldn't even take a breath and passed out.

The Empress Dowager ordered the imperial physician to be summoned while glaring at Xiao Jinxuan fiercely, "You, you are so stubborn!"

After saying this, he ordered people to drive Xiao Jinxuan and Xie Zhuoning out.

Naturally, the matter of arranged marriage came to nothing.

After leaving the Changle Palace, Xie Zhuoning sighed and said, "What a pity. It was almost done."

With the Empress Dowager's imperial decree granting the marriage, the clan family, Prince Yong and the Crown Prince had no reason to object.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes darkened when he heard this, "Do you want me to agree?"

Xie Zhuoning nodded and analyzed the pros and cons.

No matter how you look at it, marrying Princess Qingyi is a very easy thing to do.

She just likes Xiao Jinxuan and wants to be with him, and it won't affect their other plans.

Anyway, there is also Princess Qingyi's courtyard in Prince Xuan's Mansion, so why not let her live there when the time comes?

"Very good, Xie Zhuoning, you are very good!" Xiao Jinxuan gritted his teeth and said this, then turned away quickly.

Even the back seemed to be emitting sparks.

Song Yuqiu, who was waiting outside the palace gate, saw the two men go in without any reason. She was furious and immediately covered her mouth and cried out in shock, "Did the Empress Dowager punish you?"

Xie Zhuoning shook his head and recounted what had happened.

Song Yuqiu was stunned and reached out to touch her head. "No, Sister Zhuo Ning, are you okay? The Empress Dowager wants His Royal Highness Prince Xuan to marry a concubine, and you can agree to this? Don't you mind at all when you think about your man sleeping in another woman's bed?"

The image of Zhuang Qingyi and Xiao Jinxuan lying in bed lovingly appeared in his mind. Xie Zhuoning covered his chest and was stunned for a moment. "It seems that I feel a little uncomfortable."

But if Xiao Jinxuan became emperor in the future, with three thousand beauties in his harem, wouldn’t it be normal for him to have other women?

Song Yuqiu sighed. She never expected that her sister Zhuoning was extremely smart in other matters, but would be confused when it came to love.

"Sister Zhuo Ning, you really should apologize to His Royal Highness Prince Xuan for this. He only wants to be with you for the rest of his life, but you want to force women on him. Do you really like him, or do you just want to use him to achieve your goals?"

Xie Zhuoning opened his mouth, but no words came out.

She just didn't want to put all her heart and soul on one person, so she always kept a little rationality to limit her emotions.

Even if she is wrong, she can get away from it in time.

But Xiao Jinxuan was so determined and unwavering in choosing only her.

So, was she really wrong?

Although Xiao Jinxuan was angry, he did not walk far away, but only a short distance away from him.

Song Yuqiu winked at Xie Zhuoning, who took a deep breath and immediately trotted after him.

"Xiao Jinxuan, I..."

It would have been fine if he hadn't spoken. Once he opened his mouth, Xiao Jinxuan walked even faster.

He has long legs, so when he walks fast, his steps are very brisk.

Xie Zhuoning almost had to jog to catch up with him. "Why are you running? I have something to tell you."

"What you said is unpleasant and I don't want to listen." Xiao Jinxuan's voice was calm and peaceful.

But no matter how you listen to it, it has a gambling flavor.

"Stop!" Xie Zhuoning was also a little angry. He reached out and tried to grab his sleeve, but ended up grabbing nothing.

Seeing the man not even turning his head, Xie Zhuoning rolled his eyes, cried out "Ouch", and fell to the ground, "Hiss - it hurts -"

Xiao Jinxuan picked up his feet and continued walking, without stopping or even looking.

"It hurts so much, so much, so much!" Xie Zhuoning deliberately yelled loudly, but it was of no use.

It was not until this moment that she realized that Xiao Jinxuan was really angry.

She lowered her head in disappointment, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her eyes were inexplicably hazy.

A bony hand gently touched her eye at this moment, "Where did you fall? Why are you crying like this?"

Did you cry yourself?

Xie Zhuoning was startled and looked up. The moment he saw the person coming, it seemed as if thousands of stars and colorful clouds flooded into his eyes.

She couldn't help but happily reach out and hug Xiao Jinxuan, saying "I'm sorry".

No matter what the reason, no matter what the excuse, the last thing she should do is to waste his sincerity.

After checking, Xiao Jinxuan confirmed that she was just faking a fall. He felt helpless and angry with himself.

I knew it was just a trick, but I was still afraid of what might happen.

What if something really happened to her?

He picked her up and carried her out of the palace.

Xie Zhuoning was startled, "You...what are you doing? Put me down!"

Xiao Jinxuan deliberately glanced at her with a cold face, "Didn't you sprain your ankle? Is it in so much pain? Can you walk without me holding you?"

Xie Zhuoning: "..."

If I were to admit that I had lied to him, would he throw me into the moat of the palace?

Song Yuqiu followed behind with her hands behind her back, watching the excitement with great joy.

"He's running away and she's chasing him. He can't get away even if he has wings!"
