Chapter 92: Princess Nanyang's Relief
The nanny was sent outside the city overnight by the 15th. At this time, Ruan Li's body had not recovered yet, and her body was still suffering from the rupture of her meridians. Chen Sichen was always by her side to take care of her.
"Major General, the Emperor and the Empress announce that you will come to the palace to meet you."
"Put me?" Chen Sichen was a little confused when he heard Anan come in and said.
Although Xuanyuan Chen often meets with him, most of the time it is when something happens.
At this time, what can I tell him about? What's more, Ruan Li is ill now, so why did he leave Ruan Li at this time?
"Si Chen, then you go first. The emperor announced you to meet you. Of course, there is a reason. You go first, I can do it myself." Ruan Li saw Chen Sichen's hesitant expression and knew that Chen Sichen was worried about her. She comforted Chen Sichen softly, making him not want to worry about himself.
"But you... can't do it, Ruan Ruan, I want to accompany you." Chen Sichen looked at Ruan Li worriedly, not wanting to leave like this.
Ruan Li looked at Chen Sichen like this and shook her head helplessly.
"Si Chen, listen to me, you go first, the emperor will definitely announce you if there is something."
"But do you really matter?" Chen Sichen still had no intention of leaving.
"Chen Sichen, I really have nothing to do, so don't worry." Ruan Li explained helplessly, "I should be able to get better in a while, so don't worry, I'm your Ruan Ruan after all."
Hearing Ruan Li's words, Chen Sichen finally got up and said, "Okay, you take good care of yourself first. I will come back immediately after meeting you later."
Ruan Li nodded and looked at Chen Sichen's back as she left, and she fell into deep thought.
She knew that in recent days, there was no use to get Chen Sichen. It must be that Shen Qingling and Yantian could not kill her, so Shen Qingling changed into a different method.
When she met Princess Nanyang when she tried the wedding dress, she knew that Princess Nanyang must have been able to control her consciousness. Now she called Chen Sichen over, probably because she thought of something else to stop her and Shen Sichen.
However, Chen Sichen didn't know so much. After he went back that day, he saw Ruan Li with a look of pain. After knowing that it was the work of the people from Hell Gate, he almost wanted to wash the Hell Gate blood, but he could never have thought that the person behind the Hell Gate was his most beloved sister since he was a child.
He even didn't expect that his sister would try every means to break up with the person she loved.
He was taken to Xuanyuan Chen's Hall of Peace and Heart by the palace servants. Shen Qingling was sitting next to Xuanyuan Chen.
"Chen'er, are you here?" Shen Qingling spoke very kindly. This was her usual attitude towards Chen Sichen. This younger brother was grown up since she was a child. Although she was not her biological child, she was still his sister in the final analysis.
"I, join the emperor and join the empress." Chen Sichen nodded and performed his etiquette.
"Chen'er, there's no need to be polite. There are only two people here, I and your sister. I'll be spared these red tape."
"Yes." Chen Sichen did not refuse when he heard Xuanyuan Chen's words. Every time Xuanyuan Chen would say it to him, but he still did not lack the etiquette he should have.
"I don't know what the so-called Your Majesty summoned me this time?" Chen Sichen looked at Xuanyuan Chen's somewhat uncomfortable speaking and asked on his own initiative.
"Chen'er, you see, Princess Nanyang is now very old. The key is that she has liked you for so many years." Shen Qingling spoke, trying to hint at Chen Sichen.
Who knew that Chen Sichen didn't want to buy it at all and said, "Sister, you know, I like Ruan Ruan very much. I have long decided that she is my only wife. I only have her in my life, and I don't want other people. As for Nanyang, it's not wrong for her to like me, but I only regard Nanyang as my sister, and some people are more suitable for Nanyang than me."
Chen Sichen was very determined, which made Xuanyuan Chen stunned.
He also wanted to marry Ruan Jiuge so firmly, but in the end, for the sake of Ruan Jiuge's safety and his father's will, he had no choice but to marry Shen Qingling.
"Chen'er, sister, I'm for your own good. You are the general. It's normal for you to have a wife and concubine around you. No one will say anything about you, let alone you need help. Although I like Aruan, I am also a descendant of your aunt Jiuge, she has no background after all..."
Shen Qingling didn't say anything more, but Chen Sichen knew what his sister wanted to say.
Chen Sichen looked at his sister who was considering herself, took a few steps back and said, "I know my sister is for my own good, but I promised Ruan Ruan after all, I want to give her a pair of people for the rest of her life. I just have the background, but at worst I can fight for all my military achievements and exchange for her peace for the rest of my life."
Chen Sichen didn't want to regress at all. Since he had recognized Ruan Li in his life, he had no intention of retreating.
"Chen'er, you...you have to listen to your sister's advice." Shen Qingling was a little excited and stood up.
Chen Sichen looked at his sister in confusion. Logically speaking, his sister should be very satisfied with this marriage, so why do you have some objections now?
"Empress, I said that there is only Ruan Ruan by my side in this life, and I can no longer tolerate others."
Chen Sichen's eyes were full of determination, and even the title of Empress had come out. It was impossible for Shen Qingling to let Chen Sichen accept this marriage until now. She knew this younger brother. Chen Sichen had always been stubborn, and the things she believed in and people would never change easily.
Seeing the atmosphere a little awkward, Xuanyuan Chen stood up and said, "What Chen'er said makes sense. Chen'er, you should step down today. I'll discuss with your sister. Qingling, Chen'er is so big now. It's his turn to make decisions about feelings. If he doesn't want to, even if we force Chen'er to do something useless."
Hearing Xuanyuan Chen's words, Shen Qingling finally regained her demeanor.
But she still didn't give up and continued, "Chen'er, you have to think clearly, Nanyang is a good woman."
Chen Sichen nodded without any hesitation: "Sister, don't worry, I think clearly, and I know what I want."
Hearing Chen Sichen's words, Xuanyuan Chen nodded in agreement and said, "Chen'er is a person who does big things. He can be so firm in his mind, which is really something I can't compare to."
Hearing Xuanyuan Chen's words, Shen Qingling was silent. She knew that Xuanyuan Chen must have thought of him at the time.
Over the years, Xuanyuan Chen has been missing Ruan Jiuge, and many times he even wants to find the shadow of Ruan Jiuge in her. Since Ah Ruan came to Kyoto, Xuanyuan Chen's longing has become stronger and stronger, and he will even show his longing for Ruan Jiuge in front of all civil and military officials.
At this moment, Princess Nanyang came in.
"Nanyang is here?" Xuanyuan Chen looked at Princess Nanyang, a little worried. He was not unaware of Princess Nanyang's thoughts about Chen Sichen. Although he has always protected Princess Nanyang, he really wanted to protect Ruan Li, the child. Perhaps because of Ruan Jiuge, he always felt that there was an indescribable relationship between him and Ruan Li.
When Shen Qingling saw Princess Nanyang coming, she felt happy and knew that the matter between Si Chen and Princess Nanyang could be settled.
"Yes, my sister, please see the Empress, the Emperor." Princess Nanyang glanced at Chen Sichen.
"How did Nanyang pay attention to etiquette today?" Xuanyuan Chen was very uncomfortable when he saw Princess Nanyang suddenly become so serious. The Nanyang Princess relied on being the princess personally named Xuanyuan Chen, and had never paid attention to etiquette in terms of etiquette, let alone such seriousness.
"Uncle Emperor, Nanyang is here today, I want to ask you for grace."
"Nanyang, you said that as long as it is possible, I will do my best to satisfy you." Xuanyuan Chen glanced at Chen Sichen and knew who Princess Nanyang came for this time, but this grace may not be rewarded by him.
When Shen Qingling heard Xuanyuan Chen's words, she also echoed: "Yes, Nanyang, you said, your emperor and I listened to you, say whatever you want, and your emperor and I will do our best to satisfy you."
There is no doubt that Shen Qingling thought Nanyang wanted to ask her to have a marriage contract with Shen Sichen.
Princess Nanyang glanced at Chen Sichen, who was indifferent beside her, took a deep breath, and said, "Uncle Emperor, Empress, I want to apply to return to Nancheng."
"What?" Shen Qingling's face changed when she heard Princess Nanyang's words.
"Nanyang, do you know that once you return to Nancheng, then there will be no possibility for you and Si Chen again." Shen Qingling quickly spoke and moved out of Chen Si Chen.
Who knew that Princess Nanyang just nodded heavily and said, "Empress, I know, but I just want to go back to Nancheng. Brother Si Chen and I grew up together. Brother Si Chen is the only one in his heart. I should wish Brother Si Chen to bless Brother Si Chen. I hope Brother Si Chen can be happy, and I don't want to cause any trouble to Brother Si Chen."
After hearing Princess Nanyang's words, Chen Sichen looked at her and said, "Nanyang, stay here."
When Princess Nanyang heard Chen Sichen's words, she smiled bitterly. She knew that Chen Sichen's call for Xiao Cijiu to stay.
Shen Qingling was happy. She thought that Chen Sichen wanted Princess Nanyang to retain Princess Nanyang because she had a little love for Princess Nanyang.
"Yes, Nanyang, you see that Si Chen has asked you to keep you. You, just stay here. After all, there are many precious memories of you."
"Brother Si Chen, I won't stay. When I see that you and A Ruan's wedding are completed, I will go back to Nancheng." Princess Nanyang just shook her head gently and rejected Shen Qingling and Shen Sichen's kindness.
"But..." Chen Sichen wanted to say something, but he stopped in the end.
"Nanyang, look at the people around you more, and there will always be someone who loves you day after day." Chen Sichen said meaningfully.
"Okay." Princess Nanyang smiled, with a smile on her face and a hazy tears in her eyes.
Seeing this, Shen Qingling knew that she could not change anything.
No wonder she couldn't control Nanyang anymore. It turned out that Nanyang had let go of the obsession in her heart.
Xuanyuan Chen was very satisfied with this scene. He should not let the tragedy be reproduced on her daughter.
