Nangong Rui's audacity finally angered Situ Lin. In his anger, he did not care about the brotherhood of the past and ordered the guards to lock Nangong Rui in the imperial prison. He had not been released until now.
Soon, this matter reached Situ Zixuan's ears. She was shocked by Nangong Rui's abnormal behavior.
When he was young, Situ Zixuan and Nangong Rui often played in the palace, and they had already decided that he would be the future Prince Consort.
Actually, even if the Empress Dowager did not appoint her to Nangong Rui, when the time was right, she would find a chance to ask the Empress Dowager and Situ Lin for an edict.
Ever since she was young, Nangong Rui doted on her like Situ Mo and Situ Lin. Situ Zixuan always thought that Nangong Rui liked her, but he never said it to her face.
Who knew that the Empress Dowager would actually get Situ Lin to issue a decree early on to bestow marriage to the two of them so that she could marry into the Prime Minister's residence as soon as possible and become Nangong Rui's wife.
This was definitely a good thing for her. It was exactly what she wanted.
However, she did not expect Nangong Rui to mercilessly reject her. In the court, in front of all the ministers, he openly disobeyed the imperial edict and even said that he did not like her.
Actually, Nangong Rui had always doted on Situ Zixuan, but he only treated her as a younger sister. He had no other feelings for her. Everything was just Situ Zixuan's own wishful thinking.
What was even more shocking was that not only did Nangong Rui disobey the Empress Dowager's decree, he even personally asked Situ Lin to bestow a marriage on him. However, the person was not the princess, Situ Zixuan, but the daughter of General Murong, Murong Ruolan.
Murong Ruolan was only 18 years old. She was as beautiful as a flower, delicate and moving. She was the daughter of a noble family and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Two months ago, Murong Ruolan and Nangong Rui met by chance in a restaurant outside the palace. The two fell in love at first sight and often met after that.
After two months of getting along, their relationship had improved by leaps and bounds. Now, they were only lacking the approval of their parents.
Before Nangong Rui could tell the Prime Minister about this, he never expected that the Empress Dowager would actually take a fancy to him and see him as the future Prince Consort. She even planned to marry Situ Zixuan to him. This made Nangong Rui at a loss.
Nangong Rui didn't want to hurt Murong Ruolan, and he didn't want to be a person who didn't keep his promise. In order to pursue his own happiness, he had no choice but to go against the Empress Dowager's orders in court, refute Situ Lin, and even implicate the entire Prime Minister's Estate.
This really made all the officials in the court confused. Not only did Nangong Rui disobey the imperial edict, but he also didn't treat the future Prince Consort as his wife. He actually married a young lady from the General's Estate.
Zuo Xiang saw that his son was actually so audacious. He was so scared that he almost fainted in the court. He was afraid that Situ Lin would punish the Left Minister's Residence.
Situ Zixuan was not willing to accept this kind of anger. All along, she had always been the one to say whatever she wanted. No one had ever dared to go against her wishes.
This time, Nangong Rui was actually so bold as to publicly disobey the Empress Dowager's order in front of all the civil and military officials. He even asked Situ Lin to personally give him a marriage and marry another woman.
She did not expect that as the princess of the Tianqi Kingdom and the beloved daughter of the Emperor and Empress Dowager, even Situ Lin would give in to her sometimes.
Her status was so noble, and she was usually so awe-inspiring, but she was actually inferior to a little General Manor's young miss. She could not swallow this matter no matter what.
This matter made Situ Zixuan feel completely humiliated. This time, she had lost a lot of face. She kept feeling like she had been abandoned.
This time, Situ Zixuan's body and mind had suffered a serious blow. Seeing that the person she loved was about to marry another woman, she could not take it anymore and actually took her life as a joke.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't take things too seriously, and in her own Bright Sun Palace, she cut her wrist with a dagger in a fit of anger. Blood immediately gushed out, but the palace maids of Bright Sun Palace were frightened. They quickly called the imperial physician for Zi Xuan.
After learning of this news, the empress dowager and Situ Lin were extremely shocked by Zi Xuan's actions. They rushed to Bright Sun Palace immediately.
When they arrived at Situ Zixuan's bedroom, the empress dowager was almost scared to death by the scene that appeared in front of her.
Situ Zixuan was lying in a pool of blood, and her hands were bleeding profusely. The palace maids were kneeling on the ground helplessly, sobbing non-stop.
Due to excessive blood loss, Situ Zixuan had been in a coma. It was not until the fifth day that she slowly woke up.
Other than Yuyan herself, no one knew that the former princess of the Tianqi Kingdom, Situ Zixuan, had already sacrificed her life in this suicide attempt and no longer existed in this world.
When Situ Zixuan woke up again, she had already become another person-the eighth princess from the sky. She would replace the former Situ Zixuan and live in the Tianqi Dynasty.
The palace maid told Yu Yan everything that had happened, and Yu Yan couldn't help but feel sorry for the princess. She sighed,""This princess is really too stupid. She actually slit her wrists and committed suicide for a man who doesn't like her. I really don't know what she's thinking. This man isn't worthy of her love at all.”
"Princess, what are you talking about? Why can't this servant understand?”The palace maid who was guarding the bed heard Yuyan muttering to herself on the bed. Zou Mei asked curiously.
"Oh, it's nothing, Bing 'er." Yu Yan smiled gently at her and shook her head.
"Princess, your body is still very weak. You should lie in bed and rest well. Don't think too much, lest the empress dowager and the emperor worry about you again.”Bing 'er was afraid that Yuyan would overthink and do something stupid again, so she quickly tried to persuade Yuyan.
"Okay, you can go down first. I want to be alone for a while.”Yu Yan instructed.
"Yes."
Bing-Er saw that Yuyan's emotions had calmed down. She wouldn't do anything stupid like she did a few days ago.
She glanced at Yuyan before leaving with Ding Xiang. The two of them stood guard at the bedroom door.
