When Jiu Ranling saw Jiu Ranxun and Xu Shuangwei again, the two of them were pushing each other over a cornbread.
When Jiu Ranxun finally managed to get Xu Shuangwei to agree to eat the last cornbread, he turned around and saw Jiu Ranling's face. The expression on her face was hard to tell.
"What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at us?”Naturally, Jiu Ran Xun did not treat Jiu Ran Ling kindly.
"I'm here to see if you've had enough of your nonsense.”Jiu Ran Ling did not mind.
The jailer who brought Jiu Ran Ling in smiled apologetically.""Your Highness, this servant has also brought the place to you. It's just that the Emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to open the prison door without permission. Please don't make things difficult for this servant.”
"I don't intend to go in either." Jiu Ran Ling smiled. Bring a chair for bengong, bengong will sit outside.”
"Yes, yes." The jailer immediately moved the chair and carefully wiped it clean before letting Jiu Ran Ling sit down.
Jiu Ran Ling took the tea from Pin 'er and took a sip. She said to the jailer,""There's nothing else for you to do.”
"But…"
"Hmm?" Jiuran narrowed her eyes.
"Your Highness, please calm down. This servant is afraid that if something happens to Your Highness alone…"
Jiu Ranling's voice sank and immediately became fierce.""Bengong is here to visit elder brother, what could happen?”
Seeing this, the jailer could only retreat while trembling.
Jiu Ranling looked leisurely at the unkempt Jiu Ranxun and Xu Shuangwei in the cell. They had only been locked up for three days, but they had actually become much more haggard. Jiu Ranling glanced at the unknown object in the broken bowl at the door, thinking that these two people had been spoiled since they were young.
"Tenth Brother, why do you have to put down all the glory and wealth you have and come to such a broken place to suffer? Even if you weren't favored in the past, at least you didn't have to worry about food and clothing. Isn't Miss Xu the same?" Jiu Ran Ling said coldly.
" Hmph!" Jiuran Xun snorted disdainfully." Did Imperial Father and Old Ancestor ask you to come?"”
"They said that as long as one of you is willing to accept the arranged marriage and marry the person the family arranged for you, they will pretend that this never happened." The other would not have to suffer like this.”
As soon as she said that, the entire place fell silent. Jiu Ranling smiled at the hesitation on Jiu Ranxun and Xu Shuangwei's faces, but she did not urge them.
Xu Shuangwei was still holding onto the bread that Jiu Ranxun had refused to eat. She raised her head and looked at the man who was still in high spirits and elegant a few days ago. Now, he looked so down and out. Her eyes were instantly filled with tears.
Jiu Ranxun looked at Xu Shuangwei's expression. He held her hand tightly and shook his head.
Xu Shuangwei stuffed the cornbread back into Jiu Ranxun's hands and looked at him with tears in her eyes before turning to Jiu Ranling. Then, under Jiu Ranling's stunned gaze, Xu Shuangwei kowtowed three times.
The sound seemed to knock on his heart.
"Shuang 'er!" Jiu Ranxun pulled her back, his face full of grief.
Xu Shuangwei looked up with a serious expression and a hint of a sigh."Your Highness, you have no idea how much Xun and I have experienced since we met. We may seem to be of equal status, but I'm sure you can imagine the hardships. My two older sisters weren't married to the best of families, so my father had always hoped to use me to consolidate his and the family's status. Yes, I could understand that, and I had never thought of resisting, but that was before I met Xun.”
Jiu Ranxun was stunned and could only kneel beside Xu Shuangwei.
Jiu Ran Ling put away the surprise in her eyes and raised her eyebrows.
"In my impression, he has always been handsome and elegant. He has never suffered like this.”When Xu Shuangwei said this, she could not hold back her sobs and let her tears fall." Your Highness, I have to say that you have seized the opportunity to come before us. Even if we have the strongest determination to be together, to stay in this dark dungeon without knowing when the end will come, to see the person we love suffer, I believe that Xun and I have the same thoughts. We all want to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of the people we love.”
"No!" Jiu Ranxun spoke in a low voice. His voice was as deep as the roar of an injured beast. He hugged Xu Shuangwei tightly." Shuang 'er, let's not give in, okay?" This way, all our previous efforts will be in vain. Don't give in, okay?"
Xu Shuangwei rested her head on Jiu Ranxun's shoulder, but her gaze was fixed on Jiu Ranling.""Princess, we really don't want to compromise. If I agree to your request, Xun will be able to leave this cage. Perhaps he will be able to find a better man in the future. But you see, if I really agree to it, he will definitely suffer as much as I do. I can't bear it, I can't bear to let him suffer! So…"
Jiu Ranxun seemed to know Xu Shuangwei's answer. He slowly raised his head and smiled.
Although Xu Shuangwei's face was full of tears, she returned Jiu Ranxun's smile.
The two of them looked at Jiu Ran Ling with determination in their eyes, their fingers interlocked.""So, even if we die, we have to be together!”
Jiu Ran Ling looked at the two of them quietly. After a while, she said,""What about your parents and family? Just because of your love, you abandoned them all? Don't you think that your love is very selfish?”
Jiu Ranxun and Xu Shuangwei looked at each other and knelt down without saying a word.
"Have you made up your minds?"
"Yes, I am. We have made up our minds. No matter what the final outcome is, we will bear it.”
"Are you all prepared to face anything? Regardless of life or death?"
"Since you've chosen this path, then you should finish it without any regrets. Those who let down their parents and families would definitely repay them in their next life.”The determination in Jiu Ranxun's eyes never wavered." Maybe you think I have no ambition, or maybe you think I should place my ideals in the greater places such as the throne, the people, and the country. However, I know that fame and power are not what I want to pursue. I only want a beautiful woman to be by my side. That is enough.”
“……”
Jiu Ranxun and Xu Shuangwei waited for a long time, but they did not hear anything else from Jiu Ranling. They looked up strangely and saw Jiu Ranling smiling lightly. Her usual aggressiveness had disappeared without a trace.
"This is the answer I want."
Jiu Ranxun and Xu Shuangwei widened their eyes and looked at Jiu Ranling as if they had never known her.
Jiu Ran Ling did not continue this topic. She waved her hand and Pin 'er, who was standing quietly at the side, immediately understood. She opened the food box in her hand and sent the snacks inside through the fence.
Seeing that Jiu Ranxun and Xu Shuangwei were still in a daze and did not understand the situation, Jiu Ranling put away her emotions and said with a smile,""It wasn't Imperial Father and Ancestor who instructed me to come. It's just that I know that your situation isn't good, so I came to take a look and tease you.”
Jiu Ranling saw the anger on Jiu Ranxun's face and stopped smiling,""However, I suddenly want to take care of this matter. I will do my best to ensure your safety.”
