Chapter 467 How could it be her?
How ungrateful!
No one dared to breathe.
Some of the timid ones didn't even dare to raise their heads, for fear of seeing something they shouldn't see or hearing something they shouldn't hear. The dancers were so scared that they fell to the ground, their faces pale.
Dabao and Erbao looked at each other, both of them looked calm.
Jiang Lianzhu's brows were furrowed...
She naturally understood Liao Jiu's intentions, but if Liao Jiu openly disobeyed the order like this, wouldn't the consequences be too bad? If Emperor Xuan ordered him to be beheaded on the spot, would she abandon her cubs and save him?
It's a bit difficult.
Love is really intoxicating!
Today, she finally understood the pressure Liao Jiu was under.
In the past, Liao Jiu was interested in her, but he only wanted to marry her as a concubine, allowing her to enjoy wealth and glory without a formal status. She scolded him harshly.
She didn't think about the problem from Liao Jiu's perspective, she was superficial.
Later, the two of them fell deeply in love... She didn't think anything of it and thought it was natural.
Only now do I realize that Liao Jiu's love is a truly all-out love, a love that cost him his life. This love is really too heavy.
Her love is simple, and she has no worldly pressure or constraints. However, Liao Jiu is completely different. His noble status and position bring him too much responsibility and pressure. Liao Jiu's love for her and her love for him are completely different.
Liao Jiu was still kneeling on the ground, his mind set on fire. "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Considering my loyalty to Your Majesty over the years and my hard work in maintaining the security of Da'an Kingdom, I revoke your order. I already have a lover and am not worthy of the princess."
Xuan Huang picked up a teacup from the Queen's table next to him and threw it at Liao Jiu, who did not dodge or hide.
"You still dare to be so proud of your achievements! Liao Jiu, you can do it! Okay, tell me who your sweetheart is? Whose girl is she? She's the one who made you lose your life!"
Liao Jiu fell silent.
At this time, if Jiang Lianzhu's name was mentioned, wouldn't she be in the spotlight and become the person who attracted the most attention?
He's not stupid.
Why put Jiang Lianzhu to death!
He is betting on Xuanhuang's humanity!
It's not unreasonable to say that he is arrogant because of his favor. What if the Emperor Xuan doesn't hold back and insists on killing him? At worst, he will die alone and let Jiang Lianzhu and the others live.
Xuan Huang's words aroused the curiosity of everyone present. Everyone wanted to know who was the beloved woman that made Governor Liao Jiu Liao disobey the imperial order in public and slap the royal family in the face, and was even willing to risk his life?
I dared not breathe, but my curiosity grew again.
Liao remained silent for a long time, and the atmosphere became awkward again.
The Empress said softly, "Governor Liao, you were raised under the Emperor's watch. The Emperor granted you this marriage for your own good. Don't make him angry any longer. Our eldest princess is truly exceptional in talent, appearance, and character. How can those common women compare? I, too, am very optimistic about young talents like you. I advise you not to disappoint the Emperor's kindness."
These words were like adding fuel to the fire, making Xuan Huang so angry that his heart ached.
Liao knelt on the ground for a long time and remained silent.
Mrs. Zhou was so angry when she saw this that she tilted her head back and fainted from anger.
Xuan Huang said angrily, "Why, you don't dare to say it? Or do you look down on my princess and deliberately come up with this excuse? You don't take me seriously!"
Liao Jiu, this bastard, is used to disobeying orders.
If he doesn't show him how powerful he is today, all his prestige as the emperor will be lost.
At this moment, a clear female voice rang out from the lower hall, "It is you. Governor Liao and I are in love. I hope the Emperor will grant us our blessing."
As soon as these words were spoken!
Wow!!
“How could it be her??”
"Isn't she the adopted mother of the young Prince Xiang? Wasn't she a country woman who had been married before?"
"Yes, I've heard that too. Prince Xiaoxiang and his family had an adoptive father, but he ran away. Madam Renyi was just a stepmother, raising Prince Xiaoxiang and his family..."
"She's crazy! ! At a time like this, is it her turn to step forward and attract attention? Governor Liao is no fool. How could the princess not like a married country woman? Impossible! I don't believe it!"
"I don't believe it either. How is it possible~"
…
Who knew, he would be slapped in the face so soon.
Liao Jiu, who had been expressionless and determined until now, said anxiously, "Why did you stand up? Go back."
Just a few words contain a lot of rich emotions.
Jiang Lianzhu walked to the front hall under everyone's gaze, walked to Liao Jiu's side, and knelt down with him.
"Now that you've done this for me, I have nothing to fear. We'll shoulder all the hardships together."
Liao Jiu suddenly laughed.
He held Jiang Lianzhu's hand and said gently, "Okay."
The entire hall was in uproar again.
"It's really her? Is Governor Liao really blind? A country woman, and a married one at that, this, this, this..."
"Have you ever heard of the magical curse in some villages? After a woman casts a spell on a man, he will inexplicably fall in love with her. Could it be that our Governor Liao has been cast under a spell?"
"How could it be as bizarre as you say? Liao Jiu is the governor of the Six Gates. The Six Gates are a place of pure yang, so they should be immune to all poisons. Just like our Emperor of Da'an, our Emperor has a real dragon protecting him. It would be difficult for ordinary people to use such sinister means on our Emperor."
"That's right. Otherwise, if Baihualou had used the evil witchcraft to control our emperor, wouldn't that have caused chaos long ago? It's because our emperor has a real dragon protecting him that he's immune to all evil!"
…
Jiang Lianzhu's eyebrows twitched when she heard this, and she cast a spell of witchcraft on him.
If there was any curse, it should have been cast by Liao Jiu.
Everyone was in an uproar for a long time before they realized that they were talking in the wrong direction. The Xuanhuang above their heads was about to go berserk.
Xuan Huang was also shocked and angry, "Jiang, why is it you?"
Jiang Lianzhu was about to speak, but Liao Jiu blocked her behind him and stepped forward, "It's her. My sweetheart is Jiang. I was on a mission before and was chased and killed by people from Baihua Tower in Shamen County. I was seriously injured and almost died. It was Jiang Lianzhu who saved me, and I gradually fell in love with her."
Liao Jiu certainly couldn't tell anyone about his previous act of pretending to be Wang Laowu, as this would only damage Jiang Lianzhu's reputation.
So, I just said thank you for saving my life.
The Queen covered her mouth and said, "Jiang, you are a married woman, and you still have three children. Is this legal and proper in terms of reason and etiquette?"
After hearing this, everyone looked at Jiang Lianzhu strangely.
At this time, Dabao stood up. Although he was small, he was very strong.
Dabao said slowly, "To answer the Empress, my mother is a divorced woman, and the divorce papers were officially stamped by the government, so she is a free woman. Although she has three adopted children, the laws of our Da'an Kingdom don't stipulate that single women with children cannot marry again, right? I am young and don't know much about etiquette and law. If my knowledge is incomplete, I would like to ask the Empress and the officials in the Ministry of Rites to correct me."
