Thinking of this, Shen Zhaixing decided not to let Nan Yuan speak.

Take precautions before they happen.

He said directly, "Empress, I understand what Princess Le'an wants to say, so I will convey it to her. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince decided on the reward for Princess Le'an before he left, so why not grant it to her today?"

He speaks very quickly.

Nan Yuan silently exhaled a breath.

Shen Zhaixing looked at Nan Yuan and said, "Look, is Ah Heng good to you?"

If you follow Xie Luochen, you may never get such a generous reward in your entire life.

So, be honest and don't cause any trouble.

It’s a pity that Nan Yuan had something hidden in her heart and didn’t even look at him.

When she originally told Gu Jingheng about this adopted sister, she just wanted some protection, but who knew that he would actually take care of it.

When the Queen heard what Shen Zhaixing said, she looked at the Minister of Rites and signaled him to make the announcement directly.

Zhang Danian respectfully opened the memorial that had been prepared long ago and read out: "Nan Yuan, the daughter of the Imperial Physician, has a gentle and virtuous personality, cares about the world, and has the appearance of a princess. She deserves to be rewarded. Today, I specially confer the title of Princess Le'an on Nan Yuan, and grant her a fief of 100 mu and a residence in the Princess's House."

"In addition, Princess Le'an was given one head aunt and one chief eunuch, two personal maids and eunuchs, two first-class maids and eunuchs, four second-class maids and eunuchs, six third-class maids and eunuchs, and eight maids and eunuchs for rough work."

When Zhang Danian said this, the whole place fell silent, and even Nan Yuan herself looked shocked.

You must know that although the emperor has awarded many princesses, most of them are just empty titles, and there are very few who have fiefs. There is only one princess in this dynasty who can have her own house.

But no matter how shocked everyone was, the voice of the Minister of Rites continued, and the reward to Nan Yuan was not over yet.

"Ten night-shining pearls, one box each of jade, coral, and agate; more than a hundred gold hairpins, jade bracelets, and pearl earrings, and 50 gold. In addition, there are precious python satin, patched satin, makeup satin, cloud satin, plain satin, blue satin, hat satin, Yang satin, palace silk, Lu silk, gauze, lining gauze, silk, spinning, three-thread cloth, and other kinds of silk fabrics..."

Zhang Danian chanted for half an incense stick of time, and the reward flowed into Nan Yuan's pocket like water.

Everyone looked at Nan Yuan. They thought that the title of princess was just an empty title, but she actually had a fiefdom and so many rewards.

How can this be called a princess? It's no more than a crown princess, right?

Nan Yuan herself was also very surprised. She didn't expect that Gu Jingheng had so many!

But even though she was shocked, Nan Yuan suppressed her anxiety and knelt down to thank them: "Your Majesty and the Queen thank you for your grace."

The queen nodded. Although she was surprised at the reward, she did not lose her composure.

However, after Nan Yuan expressed her gratitude, she did not stand up.

Shen Zhaixing whispered, "Are you so happy that you're stupid? Why don't you leave?"

Nan Yuan ignored her and just said, "Your servant has something else to ask of you."

"You go on." The Queen raised her hand and motioned for her to continue.

This time Shen Zhaixing had no other choice but to warn Nan Yuan with his eyes, hoping that she would not cause any trouble.

But how could anything in the world just go as he wishes?

Nan Yuan ignored him and instead looked at Xie Luochen on the other side.

Xie Luochen immediately understood, walked out, and stood with Nan Yuan: "Your Majesty, the son of Xie An, Xie Luochen, pays homage to His Majesty and the Queen."

Shen Zhaixing's bad premonition became stronger, but before he could stop it, he heard Xie Luochen say:

"Your Majesty, Princess Le'an and I are in love with each other. Our two families have already made an engagement, and the marriage should have gone smoothly. However, I have not received a response to the marriage certificate I sent to the government."

Everyone at the table looked at Xie Luochen.

"Does he mean someone is obstructing us?" someone suddenly asked.

Another voice echoed: "It sounds like what he meant. Let's listen to what he wants to do for now."

He paused and continued, "I know that the government is very busy with official duties, and I dare not complain, but I am very anxious and afraid that I will miss the auspicious day. Today I dare to ask Your Majesty for a marriage. I am willing to marry Princess Le'an and grow old together. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to get married."

After Xie Luochen finished speaking, before the emperor and the empress could react, they heard an angry curse.

"Mr. Xie, if you have the guts, tell me again in front of me what you want to do." Shen Zhaixing kicked Xie Luochen on the shoulder and said angrily.

Xie Luochen was already weak and was completely unprepared at this moment, so he was kicked to the ground by Xie Luochen.

"Cousin!" Nan Yuan was about to go over to help him, but was blocked by Shen Zhaixing.

Shen Zhaixing clenched his fists and looked at Xie Luochen angrily.

He couldn't take action against Nan Yuan. With just Xie Luochen, he could kill him with just a flick of his finger!

Shen Zhaixing used a lot of force in that kick. Xie Luochen felt a fishy and sweet taste rising up in his throat and almost vomited blood.

But he couldn't lose his composure in front of so many people.

Xie Luochen endured the severe pain, raised his hand to cover his chest, and then slowly said: "Xie and Princess Le'an love each other, and I beg Your Majesty to grant us marriage."

"How dare you say that!" Shen Zhaixing became even more furious after hearing this. He looked around, walked to the side of the guard, drew out a sword and was about to chop Xie Luochen.

Nan Yuan didn't expect that Shen Zhaixing would dare to hit someone in front of His Majesty and the Queen, and even wanted to take someone's life.

"Shen Zhaixing!"

Nan Yuan quickly got up and protected Xie Luochen.

"Get out of the way!" Shen Zhaixing scolded.

Less than half a month after Gu Jingheng left, Nan Yuan dared to cheat on him.

If Gu Jingheng had not instructed him earlier, he really wanted to chop the adulterous couple to pieces today.

It happened so quickly that most people at the banquet hadn't reacted yet.

Just now it was about rewarding and granting marriage, how come it suddenly turned into murder and wife-stealing?

"Do you really think that I dare not touch you? If you don't get up, I will chop you down too!" Shen Zhaixing was so angry that he was fuming and was about to chop him down.

Seeing that the sword was about to fall on Nan Yuan's face, Nan Jiamu could no longer sit still.

Although he was surprised and dissatisfied about this matter, she was his own sister.

"Pfft-"

The sound of a sword cutting into flesh.

Nan Jiamu held the sword blade with one hand and with the other hand grabbed Shen Zhexing's right wrist which was holding the hilt of the sword, to prevent him from chopping off his hand with a single effort.

At this time, the people present reacted.

"Someone, come and take Shen Zhaixing away!" the emperor's voice rang out.

He didn't care whether Shen Zhaixing would cause any death or not. What he cared about was whether the queen would be frightened by this bloody scene.

"Are you not scared?" The emperor looked at the queen gently.

The Queen was still immersed in the fact that Xie Luochen had just requested an imperial decree to grant the marriage. Shouldn't that girl be Heng'er's sweetheart?

How could she be engaged to someone else?

The queen looked at the people in the audience.

"Tick-tock-"

Blood flowed down the tip of the sword and fell on Nan Yuan's face.

Nan Yuan slowly opened her tightly closed eyes and saw Nan Jiamu's bloody hand.

"Brother, brother, are you okay?" Nan Yuan's breathing became disordered, and there was a cry in her voice.

Nan Jiamu glanced at Nan Yuan with a complicated look in his eyes. He reached out and snatched the sword from Shen Zhaixing's hand.

At this time, several guards who had reacted stepped forward to restrain Shen Zhaixing.

"I wonder who dares to touch me?" Shen Zhaixing's eyes turned red with anger at this time, and he broke free from the grip of several people.

If he had known in advance that Nan Yuan and Xie Luochen would cause such a scene at the banquet, he could have forced Xie Luochen not to marry Nan Yuan. He had plenty of ways to prevent Xie Luochen from asking for permission to marry Nan Yuan.

But time is running out and he has no time to respond before His Majesty issues an order.

But he could kill Xie Luochen. As long as he died, everything would return to normal.
