In the Hall of Magnificent Sages, Xuanyuan Jingxuan was both angry and sad. How could she abuse her own body? She had been sitting there the entire night without moving. How could her thin body take it? The sad thing was, was Huang Jiaqi that important to her? Thinking of the expression she had before he left, his heart felt as if it was being corroded by thousands of ants. Who was she looking at with that expression of despair, hatred, and resentment? Was it him or the dead Huang Jiaqi? Was Huang Jiaqi really that important to her? Xuanyuan Jingxuan asked himself again.
" If you always want to get Guo 'er by relying on your hegemony, then let me tell you, it's impossible..." Huang Jiaqi answered Xuanyuan Jingxuan's question with a victorious smile. He did not know that Guo 'er had already told him that they had transmigrated. It seemed that Guo' er was a little tempted, but they could never be together. Even Hao could not be him.
"Why?" Hearing Huang Jiaqi's words, Xuanyuan Jingxuan frowned. Why couldn't he get her with his dominance? Don't women like power? He had forgotten that she was indeed a woman, but not an ordinary woman. She was a new human from the 21st century.
"Because Guo 'er won't be with a man who has another woman, even if she's alone for the rest of her life.”Huang Jiaqi said with absolute certainty. He knew that Chang Guo 'er would break up with Xuanyuan Jingxuan because of him. He also knew that Chang Guo' er would not be with someone who had many wives and concubines. Even if she had feelings for him, she would not. He knew her too well.
"I don't believe it." Xuanyuan Jingxuan shook his head. Was it because of this that she did not accept him? Was it because of this that she wanted to escape at all costs? He didn't believe it. It was a fallacy.
" Hehe…" Huang Jiaqi laughed and said,""Do you dare to bet with me?"
"Bet? What are we betting on?" Xuanyuan Jingxuan was even more puzzled.
"Let's bet that your dominance is useless in Guo 'er's eyes.”Huang Jiaqi voiced his thoughts. In fact, he was also betting on Chang Guo 'er's position in Xuanyuan Jingxuan's heart. This was the last way for him to survive. Xuanyuan Jingxuan was so cruel that he wouldn't waver if he didn't gamble with the most important person in his heart.
"..." Xuanyuan Jingxuan hesitated for a moment and then said with certainty,""Alright, I promise you." He also wanted to see who was right between him and Huang Jiaqi. Moreover, he had never been wrong.
" Phew…" Huang Jiaqi heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, he had made the right bet. It seemed that Guo 'er's position in his heart was indeed extraordinary!
"..." Just like that, Huang Jiaqi and Xuanyuan Jingxuan began to plot their gambling rules.
Xuanyuan Jingxuan thought of the conversation between him and Huang Jiaqi in the prison and wondered if he was wrong. Was what Huang Jiaqi said true? Even if she were to be alone for the rest of her life, she would never be with a man who had a woman other than her?
No, Xuanyuan Jingxuan quickly denied the thought in his heart again. He was not wrong. It was very common for men to have three wives and four concubines, even if she had transmigrated from another world. Her desire was too great. She wanted to have him alone. Was his heart not enough? Humph, women are all the same. They're arrogant because they're spoiled.
Just like that, Xuanyuan Jingxuan ignored Shang's report, ignored Chang Guo 'er's fainting, and did not go to the east courtyard without hesitation. He wanted to break her strong will, break the improper thoughts in her heart, and make her listen to him completely like other women, treating him as her heaven, as her only one.
Xuanyuan Jingxuan didn't know that the bet between him and Huang Jiaqi would make him regret it for the rest of his life. At the same time that they made this bet, it also changed the fate of Xuanyuan Jingxuan and Chang Guo 'er. It was that they could never be together forever.
Who could have thought of the final outcome of the sad parting? The flowers bloomed and fell, and the people woke up from the dream. Everything was like a dream.
"Xing 'er, how is the princess?" Yun asked as she carried the dishes that she had prepared.
"…" Xing 'Er shook her head without saying anything.
Seeing Xing 'er like this, Yun' er thought that she was too sad and said,"Eat something first!"
He still shook his head and ignored her.
"You will tire yourself out like this. The princess consort dotes on you so much. When she wakes up and sees you thin, she will be sad. How can you bear to let the princess consort worry about you?”Yun 'er advised.
Hearing Yun 'er say this, Xing' er had a reaction. Yes, she could not let wangfei worry about her anymore. Hence, he took a bowl of rice from Yun 'er and started eating. As he ate, he seemed to have thought of something. He looked up and said to Yun' er,"Yun 'er, can you do me a favor?”
"Help what? Tell me!" Yun agreed.
"Help me tell Master and Furen about Young Lady's situation.”She didn't want her to go, but she had to take care of the young miss at all times. She didn't know anyone else here and only knew her, so she had no choice but to ask her for help. Although she could not be trusted, she could tell that she was really worried about Miss 'health. She also knew that she would not hurt Miss. Even if she was a spy, Miss had treated her so well in the past, she would be touched!
"Alright, I'll go now." Yun 'er put down the food in her hands and went out.
Seeing Yun 'er leave, Xing' er grabbed the rice in her bowl and started crying slowly. She wiped her tears with her sleeve and continued eating. Her tears slowly fell again, and she wiped them again and continued eating until her tears flowed like water in a stream. She put down her bowl and chopsticks, buried her head in Chang Guo 'er's blanket, and started crying. " Wuwuwu…" Miss had suffered so much, she couldn't do anything about it. She was really useless.
Crown Prince's residence
Xuanyuan Jinghao was filled with disbelief and grief when he heard the report that he had secretly sent his men to protect Chang Guo 'er. She couldn't believe that her third brother would treat Guo 'er so cruelly. Didn't he like her very much? Then why was he still so cruel! He was heartbroken that Jiaqi was dead, killed so cruelly by his third brother. How could he not feel heartache?
It was all his fault. He shouldn't have told his third brother that they might live in seclusion in the mountains. It was all his fault! It was all his fault for harming both Jiaqi and Guo 'er…
Xuanyuan Jinghao, who was heartbroken, didn't know that Huang Jiaqi wasn't dead yet. Instead, she was living a carefree life.
Within the Sima Residence, Prime Minister Sima, Sima Furen, and Sima Rui were frowning so hard that they could not think of a solution. Hearing Yun 'er's report, the three of them immediately went to the Xuan Prince's mansion to see Chang Guo' er, but Xuanyuan Jingxuan mercilessly chased them back, saying that the East Princess Consort was not well and could not meet guests. They went to see her because of her health, and they even said that it was not easy to attend classes. Besides, were they guests? One of them was her biological father, and the other was her biological mother and brother! Wasn't it obvious that he didn't want them to meet?
"Sob…my poor daughter!”Sima Furen cried bitterly.
"Madam, don't cause trouble. Aren't we thinking of a way?”Prime Minister Sima stroked his head that was starting to hurt.
"Sob, sob, sob…it's all your fault. If only Han 'er had escaped back then, how great would that have been! "There's no need to punish Xuan Wangye, sob…" Madam Sima complained.
"That's right! "I should have spared no effort to let Han 'er escape back then. Now, I won't…Sigh…" Sima sighed. He regretted it too!
"Wuwuwu…I've long heard that Prince Xuan is ruthless, bloodthirsty, and vicious. We…we harmed Han 'er! Wuwuwu…"
"Father, mother, I'm going to barge into the Xuan Prince's mansion and rescue my sister.”As Sima Rui spoke, he was about to take his sword and barge into the Xuan Estate.
" Rui 'er…" Hearing Sima Rui say that he wanted to barge into the Xuan Prince's residence, Sima Furen cried out in alarm. She still remembered that his body had just recovered! If he went to the Xuan Estate, would he still be alive?
"Don't you think it's messy when you come back? Do you want to become a cripple?" Prime Minister Sima reprimanded. Last time, Xuan Wangye had beaten him so badly that he almost couldn't stand up. If he went this time, he would probably lose his life.
" But Younger Sister, she….." Sima Rui also started sobbing as he spoke. The Younger Sister that he had doted on since young was being bullied, how could he not be anxious?
"I will go into the palace and beg the Emperor and Empress Dowager to let Han 'er return to the residence to rest for a few days.”Prime Minister Sima said as he stood up to enter the palace.
"I'll go too."
"I'll go too…"
Sima Furen and Sima Rui also became anxious. They also wanted to go and beg the Emperor and Empress Dowager. There was strength in numbers!
"Sigh…Let's go!" Prime Minister Sima agreed. He didn't know if the Emperor and Empress Dowager would agree, and even if they did, he didn't know if Xuan Wangye would let Han 'er go.
Just like that, Prime Minister Sima and his family entered the palace.
