Zhenbei Hou was slightly surprised: "What is that?"
"..." Chu Yuanqi stopped talking.
"Shen Wan's" face flashed in his mind involuntarily.
She has a birthmark on her face and her eyebrows are unremarkable. She is actually not good-looking.
There are many girls in the capital who are more beautiful and charming than her.
but......
On that night at Xiangguo Temple, the assassins attacked and killed in the fire.
He saw her holding a sharp sword, her veil stained with blood, attacking with murderous intent, and her black and cold eyes, like blades, somehow pierced into his heart.
When he almost died in the hands of an assassin, "Shen Wan" arrived in time and penetrated the assassin with a sword.
It was difficult for Chu Yuanqi to describe his mood at that moment.
He just lay on the ground in a state of embarrassment, staring at her blankly. It was the first time in his life that he saw someone who could use a sword so amazingly.
The shadows of swords intersected with the light of fire, and blood flew everywhere.
Cold and dangerous beauty.
Thinking back now, Chu Yuanqi could feel his heart pounding.
The blood all over his body felt like it was boiling.
The Marquis of Zhenbei looked at his lost expression: "Yuan Qi, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Yuanqi suddenly came to his senses and lowered his head in embarrassment and guilt: "It's nothing... I just said that I don't hate Shen Wan."
"Oh?" Zhenbei Hou narrowed his eyes slightly.
"When we were at Xiangguo Temple, I blocked her and insisted on breaking off the engagement. She probably hated me, but when the assassins attacked, she saved my life... I couldn't let it go."
Chu Yuanqi said in a low voice.
Although it was "Shen Wan" who wanted to break off the engagement, it made him feel a little embarrassed.
But at that time, if she didn't save him.
He probably died at the hands of assassins.
A life-saving grace...
Chu Yuanqi felt heavy in his heart. He didn't know why, but he had a strange feeling.
Can't tell.
He also went to see "Shen Wan" afterwards and wanted to thank her.
It turned out that she was not in the team returning to Beijing. Chu Yuanqi thought she had been left behind at Xiangguo Temple and almost went back to look for her. After a lot of trouble, he found out that she had left with King Yi.
Don't know what to do.
King Yi's whereabouts are confidential and Chu Yuanqi cannot find out, so he is quite worried.
If he hadn't heard the news about the imperial edict, he couldn't help but want to go to the Shen family to find her.
"I haven't had time to thank her yet..." Chu Yuanqi muttered.
The Marquis of Zhenbei looked at him and suddenly asked: "Yuan Qi, do you not want to break off the engagement?"
Chu Yuanqi was startled and raised his head suddenly: "Dad, what did you say?"
Why do you ask this suddenly?
Zhenbei Hou: "This is your own marriage. Your mother and I are not forcing you to do it. You can make your own decision whether to break off the engagement or not."
Chu Yuanqi's heart suddenly skipped a beat: "Dad, why... why did you suddenly say this? Didn't we discuss the matter of breaking off the engagement a long time ago?"
Marquis Zhenbei said with a smile: "It's not like the things we've discussed cannot be changed. I'm asking you now, do you want to cancel this marriage?"
Chu Yuanqi said dryly: "I...of course..."
Zhenbei Hou: "Think it over before you say it. This kind of thing is not for you to regret."
Chu Yuanqi's expression changed slightly, but he suddenly became discouraged. This chapter has been completed!
