Qin Chengxuan was silent.

He just looked at the direction she was leaving quietly.

The look said it all.

He didn't look back until the person was gone.

He said lightly.

"I am affectionate, but she seems to have no intention."

Lu Qiong was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh.

"You kid, after so many years, it seems that you have someone you like. If you really like her, I will ask your father to propose marriage to the general's mansion tomorrow."

"Still not."

Qin Chengxuan shook his head: "Since she is not attracted to me, it is too early to propose marriage. Let's wait."

Qin Chengxuan touched his legs, his desire to stand up was extremely strong at this moment.

Not to mention that she doesn't like him now, he is...

Not worthy of her either.

……

When Shen Ruoxi came out of the Hou Mansion, she saw the servants in the manor escorting the embarrassed Du Yishan, preparing to go to the Criminal Department.

Du Yishan dragged his lame leg and was pushed hard by several people.

He staggered a few steps after being pushed, and suddenly fell to the ground.

He was picked up heavily again.

When he saw Shen Ruoxi, his eyes lit up and he suddenly called her.

"Miss Shen..."

Shen Ruoxi turned her head.

But he saw Du Yishan struggling to take out an jade bracelet from his sleeve.

He handed it to her.

"Miss Shen, if my cousin is still alive, can you help me give this to her? I have always wanted to give it to her, but I was afraid that she would dislike it. If I don't give it to her now, I'm afraid I will never have the chance again..."

Du Yishan's eyes were filled with tears.

Before, he was about to be sent to the Ministry of Punishment by Lu Qiong and was about to die, but he never shed tears.

Now when I mention Xu Lingmiao, I feel so sad.

It seemed that he was truly moved.

Shen Ruoxi reached out and took the jade bracelet.

"If you ever see her again, I'll pass it on to you."

"Thank you... thank you..."

Du Yishan's eyes were filled with gratitude.

Then he was pushed and left.

Shen Ruoxi also got on the carriage at the door.

She looked at the jade bracelet in her hand and put it in her sleeve.

Then he ordered.

"Leng Shuang, go check out the newly opened Wu Ji Spice Shop in the north of the city. I'll buy some spices and go back."

"Yes, ma'am."

Leng Shuang drove forward slowly.

*

At this time, in the palace.

Murong Heng sat in the Qianyuan Hall, waited for a while, and finally saw a bright yellow figure walking into the hall.

Emperor Renjing wore a gold-woven dragon robe made of a five-clawed golden dragon and walked in a hurry.

"Heng'er, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Not long, just a quarter of an hour."

Murong Heng asked.

"Father, did you go to the imperial study to meet Prince Rong Su Sheng?"

"good."

"What did your father do when he saw him?"

Hearing this, Emperor Renjing paused and then said.

"Forget it, it's Su Tianling who caused trouble again. This time it's even more ridiculous. At the last banquet, she actually wanted to tie Shen Che to the mansion. He was the number one scholar in the dynasty!"

"Shen Che?"

"That's not true. If Minghua hadn't found out, Shen Che would have suffered a lot by now! I ordered Su Tianling to go to the General's Mansion in person to apologize and give him twenty punishments!"

Murong Heng: "Prince Rong has always treasured this daughter, is he willing to let her go?"

"You were right."

Emperor Renjing looked unhappy.

"This punishment is light enough, but today Su Sheng came over and said that Su Tianling fell ill and could not go out. He asked the servants in the mansion to go to the general's mansion to apologize for her. He also said that Su Tianling had already been convicted and asked me to spare her. Punishment!”

The more I thought about Emperor Renjing, the angrier he became.

He reached out and patted the armrest of the dragon chair beside him.

Wang Defu immediately stepped forward and offered him a cup of tribute tea.

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

A cold light flashed in Murong Heng's eyes.

"What do you think, Father?"

Emperor Renjing sipped his tea and sighed.

"Although Su Tianling went too far, it didn't lead to a big mistake in the end. Moreover, the Su family has outstanding merits. When I came to the throne, Su Sheng had meritorious service. Now that he has asked me personally, I can't punish Su Tianling by force."

"My father has considered it right, but this move has chilled the general's heart."

"I will ask the head of the Hanlin Academy to mention Shen Che more in the future. In addition, Su Sheng has promised me that he will put Su Tianling in solitary confinement when she returns and let her reflect on it."

"Father is kind and kind."

Murong Heng said four words lightly and said no more.

But the coldness in his eyes remained unchanged.

Now that Su Sheng was so successful that Emperor Renjing could no longer suppress him.

This kind of thing has happened many times.

But being too kind is sometimes not a good thing for a king.

"By the way, Heng'er, why are you here today?"

Emperor Renjing thought of the business: "It just so happens that my father also has something to talk to you about."

Murong Heng said.

"Father, speak first."

"You said last time that you already have someone you like. My father would like to ask if the person you like is... Shen Ruoxi?"

Hearing this, Murong Heng held the porcelain cup and said.

"Yes."

"Is it really her?!"

Emperor Renjing was very surprised, and then his two handsome brows wrinkled, looking a little embarrassed.

"Shen Ruoxi...is not a good match for you."

"She is the general's legitimate daughter, so there is no mismatch."

"But she is a divorced woman."

"My son's life is short."

Emperor Renjing:...

"Stop talking nonsense, Heng'er, there are no absolutes in this world. There are so many famous doctors in the world, maybe they can cure your body?"

Murong Heng did not respond, but said.

"Whether my father agrees or not? If you don't agree, I will be alone for the rest of my life."

As he spoke, he frowned, showing a lonely look.

"I'm in poor health, my life is short, and I'm lonely. I'm so miserable."

Emperor Renjing held his forehead.

After a while, it was considered a compromise.

"That's all, Heng'er, if you really want to marry Shen Ruoxi, my father will not stop you."

Murong Heng stood up immediately.

"My son, I would like to thank my father. I would like to ask my father to grant a marriage to my son and Ruoxi."

"Are you planning to marry her now?"

"Yes." Murong Heng raised his head, a smile overflowing from his handsome face, "Actually, this is why I came here today."

"That's a little too fast."

Emperor Renjing shook his head.

"Shen Ruoxi just got divorced not long ago, and she was married to Murong Yu before. If you propose marriage now, you may attract criticism."

Murong Heng raised his head, his amber pupils showing a hint of coldness.

The corners of his lips raised slightly.

"I would like to see who dares to criticize you."

Seeing his determined look, Emperor Renjing didn't know what to say.

Although he felt that Shen Ruoxi was not suitable, it was the first time in so many years that Murong Heng had his heart moved, so he should grant her permission.

"Well, I will choose a good day to marry you and let Shen Ruoxi be your concubine."

"Concubine?"

Murong Heng chuckled softly: "Father, my son and I gave Shen Ruoxi the position of princess."

Moreover, there is and will only be her.

Emperor Renjing was slightly shocked.

He tapped his fingers on the armrest of the dragon chair and spoke slowly.

"What you do will definitely attract some bad words, which will be detrimental to you. Heng'er, I think you should think about this again."

"My mind has been made up. What I want to say has been said. Please consider it."

After saying that, he handed over his hand.

"Father, I will take my leave."

With a wave of his sleeves, the black python robe drew a sharp arc in the air.

Murong Heng turned around and walked out of the hall.

When I arrived at the door, I saw Su Liuer and the palace maid walking over.
