Chapter 117 Kneeling and asking for
"I trust you so much, you know how important Ning'er is to me..." Chu Yuanli's eyes were full of disappointment and anger towards Chu Beiqing, "How could you?
How could you steal my woman? Ning'er is so pure and innocent, and she is ignorant of the world. How could you seduce her?
Chu Beiqing, how could you take advantage of someone's misfortune? You took advantage of the rift between Ning'er and me. I didn't expect you to be such a despicable person! "
"I don't have such dirty thoughts as yours, get out!" Chu Beiqing's eyes became a little colder.
He had a clear conscience and didn't bother to explain.
However, Chu Yuanli's breath was choked by Chu Beiqing's cold gaze.
He instinctively took a step back, suddenly remembering that Chu Beiqing had fought his way out of a sea of blood and corpses.
He also once thought that Chu Beiqing was bloodthirsty and murderous by nature. In Chu Yuanli's heart, he always regarded Chu Beiqing as a reckless man.
If a gentleman like him fought with Chu Beiqing, it would undoubtedly be a loss of grace and manners, and he would certainly suffer a loss.
But in a flash, Yan Qingning's ruthless rejection and resistance to him made Chu Yuanli firmly believe that it was Chu Beiqing who seduced his Ning'er because of her beauty.
Chu Yuanli completely suppressed the fear that had just arisen in his heart. His eyes were filled with gloom, and he spoke word by word, "Today, I will definitely take Ning'er away. Ning'er is my woman."
At this moment, Shu Hui's voice suddenly sounded outside, "Master, someone has come from the palace, and the imperial edict has arrived..."
Chu Beiqing raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Since you are so capable, Prince Rui, then go out and tear up the imperial edict now..."
Even though it was a reckless act and the consequences were serious, if Chu Yuanli really did this, what would be wrong with him protecting him this time?
The blood color on Chu Yuanli's face instantly faded, and his body swayed slightly. A feeling of despair arose in his heart.
The moment he learned that Ning'er was promoted to Prince Qing's concubine, he knew clearly that once the imperial decree was issued, Ning'er would be Chu Beiqing's woman for the rest of her life.
It would be even more difficult for him to ask for it again.
Although intuitively speaking, a concubine is also a concubine, the difference between the status of a concubine and a concubine is huge.
There is an even greater difference between concubines in the royal family and concubines of the powerful and merchants.
The royal concubine can be included in the imperial edict and can be enshrined in the same mausoleum or even buried with her husband in the future.
It is different for a concubine. She is not much higher than a maid, the difference is like half a catty and eight taels.
Therefore, he could not sit still and wait for death. He had to come and ask for Ning'er before the imperial edict arrived, even at the cost of exchanging her for anything.
He even hoped to appeal to Chu Beiqing's emotions and convince him to give the person to him.
And even kneel down...
But he didn't expect that Chu Beiqing had fallen in love with Ning'er. Just when Chu Yuanli was in despair, Yan Qingning had returned.
Yan Qingning discovered that Chu Yuanli had not left yet.
She no longer had any patience.
Seeing him again, you can imagine how annoyed I was.
The complexion is better and I can't see where it is.
But when Chu Yuanli saw Yan Qingning, he was awakened as if from a dream. He immediately stepped forward and wanted to touch her, but Yan Qingning did not give him the chance.
He could only stop two steps away from her and shook his head, saying, "Ning'er, don't..."
Yan Qing would rather not give Chu Yuanli any hope, and immediately nodded to the person who came from the palace, "The eunuch, please announce the decree."
The person who came to the palace to read the imperial edict was the imperial chief eunuch Chen Dajian.
His slender eyes swept over Chu Yuanli without saying anything. After Yan Qingning knelt down, Chen Dajian unfolded the imperial edict and read it out...
It is not a big deal for the palace to promote a concubine. They can just send a eunuch to do the job.
But it also depends on the intention of the superior.
The Emperor of Chu sent the Grand Eunuch, which showed his attitude.
After Chen Dajian finished reading the decree and delivered it to Yan Qingning, he said, "Congratulations, Concubine Ning..."
Yan Qingning was inexplicably hesitant, seeing that others seemed to be very happy for her.
Does that represent the weight of a concubine?
But once you have weight, does it mean that it will be difficult to leave the palace in the future?
She looked hesitantly at Chu Beiqing who was sitting in a wheelchair, wanting to ask him if he could accept the imperial edict.
She really hadn't thought about this before, and only remembered this issue when the situation really came.
But then, she felt that she was really stupid. Disobeying the imperial order would result in death, which was something even a high-ranking official in the court would not dare to do. How could she, a little girl, be so whimsical if she wasn't stupid?
Seeing that there was no emotion in Chu Beiqing's eyes, as if this was just her business and had nothing to do with him, she lowered her eyes in self-mockery.
But Yan Qingning's hesitation just now gave Chu Yuanli hope. He walked over quickly and said, "Ning'er, you must think clearly. If you accept the imperial edict, you will never be able to come back to me..."
When Yan Qingning heard Chu Yuanli's words, she immediately wanted to curse him. Who is the idiot, you or me? If you have the guts, tear up the imperial edict for me. I will admire you for a bit.
But she was not stupid after all. Her hesitation disappeared instantly because of Chu Yuanli. "Thank you, Supervisor Chen."
"Ning'er..." Chu Yuanli felt a piercing pain in an instant.
As long as she refused, he would protect her at the cost of his life.
Chu Yuanli felt a sweet taste in his throat.
Looking at her eyes, there were disappointment, sadness, grief and other emotions intertwined together, forming an overwhelming despair.
He just felt that the sky had turned gray.
"Your Highness Prince Rui?"
"Your Highness Prince Rui?"
Shu Hui called out a few times, and King Rui seemed to have lost his soul.
He finally raised his voice, and Chu Yuanli looked at him blankly.
"Your Highness Prince Rui, please come in." Shu Hui said calmly and made a gesture of invitation.
He felt better this time.
At that time, he risked being punished by his master and eavesdropped on the conversation in the hall from outside the door.
He just felt that Prince Rui was so annoying that he dared to slander his master like this.
Fortunately, Concubine Ning is not hopeless.
And know who is good and who is bad.
And the master was not polite to King Rui either.
Chu Yuanli's eyes were bloodshot, he didn't know how he got out of Prince Qing's Mansion.
He wandered the streets in a daze.
The streets were bustling with people, but he could not hear any sound from the outside world, nor could he feel any excitement. He only felt cold all over.
He wandered the streets like a ghost, forgetting who he was and where he should go.
He just felt like he had nothing.
Until someone hugged him tightly, and the woman's distressed and choking voice gradually reached his ears, pulling his soul back from his body.
He stared blankly at the charming and charming woman in front of him. She looked at him with eyes full of heartache and admiration that he could see at a glance. He opened his mouth and said, "Xia Yu..."
"Prince, let's go home..." Xia Yu's voice, which seemed to be able to warm the world, seemed to be filled with heartache for him.
