Seeing that the Prime Minister and Nangong Rui were completely confused about this matter, not only was Zi Xuan not angry at Nangong Rui, she even pleaded for Nangong Rui in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. The Empress Dowager actually agreed to let Nangong Rui go.
A few days ago, the Emperor had personally bestowed the marriage of the Princess to Nangong Rui, but Nangong Rui had strongly opposed it and defied the imperial edict.
He would rather marry the daughter of the General's Estate than marry Zi Xuan, the princess of the Tianqi Kingdom. He did not care about Zi Xuan's feelings at all. As a result, Zi Xuan was heartbroken and did not hesitate to slit her wrists in her own Bright Sun Palace to commit suicide.
After being in a coma for a few days, when Situ Zixuan woke up again, she unexpectedly lost her memory and forgot everything that had happened in the past. When she first woke up, she didn't even recognize the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
In addition, this morning, Zi Xuan suddenly interceded for Nangong Rui in front of the Emperor in the Funing Palace, hoping that the Empress Dowager would not pursue this matter.
The Empress told everyone in the living room about these things in detail.
After the Empress's narration, the Prime Minister and Nangong Rui finally understood.
The Prime Minister and Nangong Rui found out from the Empress that Princess Zi Xuan had lost her memory and found it hard to accept.
Nangong Rui felt that he had let Princess Zi Xuan down. He felt guilty and blamed himself for Zi Xuan. He felt that what Zi Xuan had done this time was not worth it.
"Sigh…I didn't expect Princess to be so infatuated with Rui 'er. For Rui' er, she didn't hesitate to slit her wrists in her own Bright Sun Palace and commit suicide. If the palace maids hadn't discovered it in time, Princess would probably have been unable to escape this calamity.”The Prime Minister couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, feeling very upset.
"Princess, it's really not worth it to do this. What is so good about me that she would treat me like this?”Nangong Rui said sadly.
"That's all because you don't hide anything in front of Zi Xuan. You're like the emperor and fourth brother in the palace, doting on her a lot. Zi Xuan naturally fell in love with you. It can be said that her feelings for you started a few years ago, but she never realized it.”the Empress reminded him.
" But all this while, I've only treated the princess as my younger sister. I've never had any other feelings for her. The princess should be able to see it, but now..." Nangong Rui said with difficulty.
"It's too late to say anything now. The past is in the past. Now that Zi Xuan has lost her memory, she might not even remember who you are. In a few days, you should marry your bride in peace.”the Empress instructed him.
Nangong Rui only nodded slightly and didn't say anything else.
Nangong Rui, who was about to become the groom in two days, did not show any joy on his face. Instead, he looked apologetic. Everyone in the living room fell silent.
Xuanyuan Jing went into the palace to visit the Empress Dowager and talked to her for a while.
After walking out of Funing Palace, he wanted to return to Prince Chun's residence. On the way, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Zi Xuan for a few days. He really missed this little girl. He didn't know what she had been doing these days and hadn't seen her in the palace.
She didn't know if it was because Nangong Rui rejected the marriage a few days ago, but she was in a bad mood. She stayed in her own Bright Sun Palace and didn't run around. She wanted to go to Bright Sun Palace to visit Zi Xuan.
Xuanyuan Jing, Prince Chun of the Tianqi Dynasty, was only twenty years old. He was talented, handsome, and had an extraordinary bearing. He was talented and talented in both literature and martial arts.
Xuanyuan Jing's father was the Great General of the Tianqi Kingdom. When the previous Emperor had just ascended the throne, the Tianqi Kingdom was still not very stable. There were often enemies invading the country, and the previous Emperor had to personally lead the army. At that time, Xuanyuan Jing's father was a general, so he naturally followed the emperor to the expedition.
That day on the battlefield, the late emperor was engaged in an intense battle with the enemy. Suddenly, an archer of the enemy aimed at the late emperor and shot out a long arrow.
At this critical moment, the general arrived in front of the late emperor at his fastest speed and blocked the enemy's arrow for the late emperor. He was stabbed in the heart and died on the battlefield.
If it was not for the Great General blocking this arrow for the late emperor in time, the late emperor would have died on the battlefield long ago, and the Tianqi Kingdom would have been in danger.
After the late emperor won the battle, he led his soldiers back to the court.
The first thing the late Emperor wanted to do was to issue an edict to make the Great General the King Protector of the Tianqi Dynasty. He also wanted the son of the Great General, Xuanyuan Jing, to inherit the throne and be granted the title of Prince Chun.
Xuanyuan Jing's father died in battle. His mother could not accept this fact at all. A few days later, she committed suicide at home and died with the general. Xuanyuan Jing became an orphan.
At that time, Xuanyuan Jing was only a child who was less than four years old. He didn't know anything, but he had lost his parents. It was very pitiful.
When the late Emperor learned of this, he decided to take in the General's orphan and bring Xuanyuan Jing back to the palace so that the Empress (now the Empress Dowager) could raise him personally.
From then on, Xuanyuan Jing lived in the palace for a long time. He grew up with Situ Mo and Situ Zixuan and was Zixuan's closest playmate when she was young.
In the palace, Xuanyuan Jing and the two princes lived in harmony. The three of them were like brothers and nothing unpleasant had ever happened.
However, because Princess Zi Xuan was mischievous and unruly, she had teased Xuanyuan Jing many times in the palace. Xuanyuan Jing was so angry that he had no way to deal with her.
Even if Xuanyuan Jing couldn't tolerate Zi Xuan's teasing, he couldn't do anything to her, as she was the princess.
Zi Xuan was only teasing Xuanyuan Jing for a moment of happiness and didn't go overboard.
As she grew older, Zi Xuan gradually restrained herself, but Xuanyuan Jing had gotten used to her teasing.
Sometimes, when Xuanyuan Jing saw Zi Xuan, he didn't know why. He was worried about Zi Xuan, but the words he said always made Zi Xuan unhappy. He couldn't understand what was going on.
After a few days, the two of them often quarreled endlessly in the palace because of a certain matter.
There were even a few times when the Empress Dowager was involved, causing Xuanyuan Jing to be in a bad mood for several days. He couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.
It was only when Xuanyuan Jing grew up that he moved out of the palace two years ago and moved into the residence Situ Lin had personally given him, King Chun's residence.
Although he had left the palace, Xuanyuan Jing still went to the palace almost every day to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager. He also went to Zhaoyang Palace to visit Situ Zixuan.
