"Where is... mother? What's she in your heart?" Shangguan Wanning asked with all her might to endure the sadness.
The more Shangguan Yue spoke, the more calm he became. He looked at Shangguan Wanning with his eyes and said, "I have been with her for more than 20 years. Over the years, I have only asked me to be gentle and considerate to her, and have fulfilled my husband's responsibilities.
I have a clear conscience.”
"Hmph! What a righteous and clear conscience." Shangguan Wanning sneered, "You ask yourself, you are really just because of guilt? Have you not used the power of your grandfather to reach your peak today?"
Shangguan Yue took a deep breath and his attitude was firm.
"No. With my ability, I can definitely get to this point step by step."
"Since you are so confident, why do you still want to marry my mother? Why don't you wait to be with your sweetheart?"
Shangguan Yue was speechless.
"At this point, I have nothing to hide from you. If you want to tell your mother everything, I will never stop you."
"You think beautifully. You don't know how to speak, so you want me to tell you. You can explain to your mother what you do."
After saying that, Shangguan Wanning left in anger.
She felt as if she was dead and didn't know what to do.
She never thought that the happiness of their family and the love between their parents would be all illusions.
How much tolerance is needed to disguise for decades?
Shangguan Wanning felt for the first time that her father's heart was so strong, so powerful... that it made her feel scared.
She didn't know where to go.
If the truth is told to my mother, what can I do? My mother is powerless to change, but she is sad.
"Ning'er, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Shangguan was shocked when she saw her daughter standing at the door, her face covered with tears and her face pale.
"Come in quickly."
Mrs. Shangguan took Shangguan Wanning's hand and walked into the room, and immediately ordered the nanny to bring her clean water to wash her face.
"As such a big girl, you should learn to solve anything you encounter. If you really can't solve it, just tell me and your father. Why are you crying alone? Isn't it a joke for people to see it?"
Shangguan Wanning didn't expect that she came to her mother's room unknowingly.
"mother……"
Shangguan Wanning felt sad. She hugged her mother and tears couldn't stop slid down.
"Are you worried about Jing Rui?"
Mrs. Shangguan gently patted her daughter on the back and sighed softly.
"You two are really good things. But you don't have to be so sad. Jing Rui has good skills and is capable. Even if he wanders away, he will not suffer too much."
Mrs. Shangguan pulled her daughter out of her arms, wiped her tears, tidied up her slightly messy hair, and a smile raised at the corner of her mouth, which was gentle and warm.
"Ning'er, Mom knows your feelings for Jingrui and believes that he loves you very much. So, no matter what happens, Mom will not force you to give up on him. Woman, I want to meet someone who is dedicated to me,
It's really too difficult."
Shangguan Wanning found that tears seemed to be flashing in her mother's eyes.
Her heart twitched violently. How could she bear to say what happened to her father?
Shangguan Wanning did not go to Mingxianglou to make an appointment. She believed that Huo Gang or Mu Jingrui could guess her current situation.
She and Mu Jingrui no longer meet, they are the best protection for him.
As the days passed day by day, the imperial court and the world mobilized a large number of people to search for Mu Jingrui, but there was no clue.
Shangguan Wanning locked herself in the room every day. Apart from playing the piano and reading books, she also used embroidery and grew flowers, and almost never left home.
She heard the news that Grape heard from outside that Xiao Yujue removed many officials these days, and was impeached by the memorials of the censors.
She could feel it
Beiming is accelerating his pace to eliminate dissidents.
"Miss, the imperial edict has arrived." Grape pushed the door and walked in a hurry, his voice trembling, "Master, let you go out to receive the edict."
Shangguan Wanning had an ominous premonition.
She changed into a grand dress and helped her to the hall with the help of grapes.
When the eunuch general saw Shangguan Wanning, he immediately smiled flatteringly.
"Princess Anning, you have to be wronged, kneel down and accept the order."
"Is the imperial edict for me?" Shangguan Wanning clenched her fist secretly.
"yes."
Shangguan Wanning couldn't help but look at his father. His expression was calm and calm, and he obviously knew the content of the imperial edict.
She slowly knelt down and listened to the eunuch reading the imperial edict.
Her heart fell to the bottom in an instant.
Xiao Yujue actually betrothed her to Xiao Beiming as the princess.
"Princess, please get the order and thank you."
The urging of the eunuch general reminded Shangguan Wanning's thoughts.
Thank you?
What kind of kindness did she thank?
What kind of thanks for her?
"Dad, why...the emperor...is so suddenly... he wants to betroth me to King Ming?" Shangguan Wanning was so angry that she trembled all over.
Xiao Yujue clearly knew that she and Mu Jingrui were in love; she clearly knew that Mu Jingrui knew the news and would definitely come to rescue him, wouldn't that fall into the trap? Z.br
"It was the King of Ming who asked the emperor for the imperial edict. The King of Ming and Concubine Wu both liked you very much. Only a lady like you deserved the noble status of the King of Ming."
The eunuch was still smiling, as if comforting Shangguan Wanning.
"The Ming King is young and promising. The princess has passed away a few years ago. You will be the real wife after marrying you. If you can give birth to a son and a half daughter for the Ming King in the future, you will not have to worry about the rest of your life..."
Shangguan Wanning ignored the chatter of the eunuch general, and slowly walked to her father.
"Dad, do you think...a daughter marrying Ming Wang is a good destination?"
"Since the imperial edict has been issued, I can do nothing to do..."
Shangguan Wanning was completely disappointed.
She couldn't understand why her father became so indifferent to her.
"I won't accept the imperial edict." Shangguan Wanning turned around and looked at the eunuch general, "Please go back and report to the emperor, I want to meet the saint."
The eunuch general manager was stunned in an instant.
"Princess...you should be careful in your words and actions. It is a death sentence to resist the order!"
"Hmph, death penalty? Either go back and tell the emperor that I want to see him; or you let the Imperial Guard kill me now."
Seeing that Shangguan Yue had no intention of stopping, the eunuch was completely unsure. He touched the sweat on his forehead and returned to the palace tremblingly.
"Master, why don't you help Ning'er?" Mrs. Shangguan's face turned pale and she looked at her husband with tears.
"Mom, can you stop asking. I will handle this matter myself. I will accompany you back to your room."
Shangguan Wanning helped her mother pass by Shangguan Yue, without even looking at him.
