Chapter 343 Rebirth and Awakening: The Enemy of the Heroine in This Life 10
outside the house.
Xie Lingyun and King Xuan followed the chief eunuch beside the emperor into the house.
Through the screen, they could only vaguely see a bright yellow figure in a dragon robe sitting there.
"No doubt." The emperor said in a light voice.
Xie Lingyun bowed, "I am here."
"Zhaoyang wants to divorce you." The first word was like a bombshell, leaving Xie Lingyun speechless.
The emperor did not give him time to buffer, but continued to ask, "What do you think?"
Xie Lingyun felt his throat tighten, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Since it is the princess's wish, I... dare not disobey."
"Okay, then I will write the divorce letter for you personally." The emperor waved his hand, "Bring me a pen!"
The four treasures of the study were presented to the emperor, and he waved his wolf-hair brush and wrote on a large piece of paper. Xie Lingyun kept his head down and leaned forward from beginning to end, with an indifferent expression as if it had nothing to do with him.
After writing the divorce letter, the emperor handed it to the eunuch beside him and ordered, "Send it to Bu Yi."
The eunuch took the order and went around the screen to stand in front of Xie Lingyun, "Master Xie, please."
Xie Lingyun then slowly raised his head, a hint of loneliness flashing in his eyes.
King Xuan watched from the side, secretly happy but calm on the surface. He whispered, "Thank you, sir, for getting what you wished for."
Xie Lingyun just looked at him without saying anything.
……
When He Qingwan and Xie Lingyun got married, it was a grand event. Now that they were getting divorced, the news spread all over the capital in one day. It became a topic of conversation among everyone from high-ranking officials to ordinary people.
Some people said that Xie Lingyun was not favored by the princess, and some said that the princess had fallen in love with someone else. But more people felt sorry for the couple who were married by the emperor, and they were divorced again by the emperor.
But no matter what, the matter has been done and it cannot be taken back like water that has been poured out.
The situation in the capital had calmed down for only a few days when another piece of bombshell news came.
When King Xuan asked to marry Princess Zhaoyang, the emperor was furious and punished him by making him kneel down in the Xuanzheng Hall to reflect on his mistakes.
King Xuan knelt for three days and still insisted on marrying Princess Zhaoyang.
Before one crisis is over, another crisis arises. Before the love-hate relationship between Prince Xuan and his cousin Zhaoyang is fully understood, Xie Lingyi, the daughter of the Left Prime Minister, boldly confesses her love to His Royal Highness Prince Xuan.
You know, Xie Lingyi was extremely obsessed with the Sixth Prince before!
Yes, speaking of the Sixth Prince, where is the Sixth Prince now?
The mystery was solved the next day. The Sixth Prince became engaged to Queen Wanyue, the legitimate daughter of the Right Prime Minister, and they were to get married the following year.
Who is Wang Wanyue? She is Princess Zhaoyang’s best friend!!!
The more you eat this melon, the bigger it gets, and the messier it becomes.
From January to June, the enthusiasm of people in the capital finally began to wane.
"Hey, have you heard? King Xuan offered all his military achievements in exchange for the marriage of Princess Zhaoyang."
"I heard it! It seems that His Majesty has agreed this time and has started discussing the wedding date!"
In Dayu, it was not uncommon for women to remarry, especially princesses.
Princess Yongle had five formal marriages with princes-in-law, and it is unknown how many others there were who had no official status or position.
Princess Zhaoyang is extremely beautiful, so what's wrong with having a few more men?
What? That's King Xuan? What's wrong with King Xuan? Isn't King Xuan also a man? It's his blessing to marry Princess Zhaoyang!
Everyone thought so.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, red silk flew all over the capital like a bird with wings. People in the capital saw King Xuan, who always had a cold face and a serious expression, riding on a tall horse, smiling brighter than flowers.
"Look, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, he married his beloved woman, he is happier than winning a battle!"
"From this perspective, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan and Princess Zhaoyang are a perfect match!"
……
Prince Xuan's Mansion.
On the wedding night, the bride washed and went to bed early.
King Xuan knew that He Qingwan disliked the smell of alcohol, so he restrained himself from drinking. After finally getting away and returning to his room, he saw that He Qingwan had already extinguished the candle and fell asleep.
How can there be such a bride?
King Xuan smiled helplessly, tucked in the quilt for her and then made his bed on the floor. If he went to bed now and woke He Qingwan up, he would be scolded and might even be disliked.
King Xuan could not afford to gamble. He had slept on the ground when he was on the march and fighting. Now he had beds and mattresses, which were much better conditions.
Late at night, King Xuan had just relaxed and fallen into a deep sleep when he heard a rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other. The sound was not loud, but it woke him up suddenly. Before he could get used to the pitch-black night, he felt his chest sink as if something had stepped on him.
Having adapted to the night, he saw He Qingwan in the moonlight, wearing an outer robe, stepping on him and walking towards the door without saying a word.
King Xuan was slightly stunned. Is this sleepwalking?
He Qingwan didn't even look at him and walked out quietly, like a ghost.
King Xuan also grabbed his outer robe and put it on. He quickly followed He Qingwan and walked out of the room with her.
He Qingwan walked barefoot on the cold stone slabs all the way to the back garden. She lifted her legs, stepped over the railing of the corridor, stepped on the soft grass, walked through the flowers, and came to the lotus pond.
There was a cake hidden in the grass beside the lotus pond. He Qingwan took it out, broke it into small pieces and scattered it into the lotus pond. Several sleeping red carps immediately swam out from under the lotus leaves to grab the cakes.
King Xuan knew that he should not disturb a sleepwalker, so he just waited patiently beside He Qingwan and accompanied her.
He watched her spill all the cakes into the lotus pond, and then watched the fish scramble to grab them.
"Huangfu Xun, why do you want to marry me?" He Qingwan asked suddenly, which scared King Xuan.
"You don't have sleepwalking?"
King Xuan asked subconsciously.
He Qingwan glanced at him and asked again, "Why do you want to marry me?"
King Xuan didn't know where to start. Traveling through time and space? Going to the future? This was too bizarre, no one would believe it.
"I, the king, I..." King Xuan stuttered and couldn't say anything clear.
He Qingwan didn't have the patience to listen to him continue stuttering, so he stood up and walked back, "I don't care what your reasons are, Huangfu Xun, I will not accept you no matter what."
If it weren't for her wish to protect her cousin, He Qingwan really wanted to kill King Xuan tonight and become a widow herself.
She left happily and didn't notice King Xuan's staggering body after hearing his words.
To King Xuan, He Qingwan was his cousin, his first wife, a family member, and also the person he "loved". When he first saw He Qingwan in history books, he was attracted to her. He wanted to understand her and protect her.
But now it seems that he has backfired.
