Yu Jingxi's kneeling stunned the two people in the room.
Yu Min looked at Ji Zhen calmly, but Ji Zhen was frightened by Yu Jingxi.
Yu Jingxi was originally thin, and now he was even thinner, with sunken eye sockets and two dark circles under his eyes on his pale face, and his whole body was bloodless. Even though he put some powder on his face to cover up his haggardness, he still couldn't hide his haggard appearance.
The moon-white robe with cloud patterns on him made him look even thinner and weaker. He no longer looked like the elegant and graceful young man that Ji Zhen had been before he left the East Camp.
"Jingxi? What happened to you? How did it become like this?"
Ji Zhen ignored his own injuries, stood up and walked forward to pull him up.
When Yu Jingxi saw Ji Zhen coming over, he instinctively reached out to help her, but when he saw the wound on her chest, he shrank back, dropped his hand, held it tightly, turned his head away, and bowed to Yu Min:
"Mother, please go back. His Highness's injuries have not healed yet, so please don't disturb him."
Yu Min squinted his eyes, supported his head with one hand, and leaned back on the soft chair. He glanced back and forth between Ji Zhen and Yu Jingxi, snorted, and said slowly:
"Jingxi, are you serious about what you just said? Are you really willing to marry that Minister of War Wang Yan?"
Yu Min's words made Yu Jingxi stiffen, and his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists, clenching tightly. But he did not hesitate, lowering his eyes to look at Ji Zhen's skirt falling on the ground, and nodded.
Then he took out a piece of letter from his bosom, handed it to Ji Zhen, and said softly:
"This is the letter my brother asked me to deliver before he came here. Your Highness, please read it in person."
"Oh."
Ji Zhen took the letter and muttered in dissatisfaction as he opened it:
"Why don't you come yourself? I asked you to come, but you look at how thin you are. What if you get blown away by the wind on the way..."
Before he could finish his words, Ji Zhen's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the letter in his hand in disbelief.
There were only eight words in the letter:
"The engagement is cancelled. Return to the northwest immediately."
Ji Zhen read it again in disbelief, and his mind was suddenly confused.
How is this going?
When she was in Dongdaying, didn't Yu Bojun even set a date for the wedding in order to trick her into agreeing to the engagement? Why is he regretting the engagement now?
Since the engagement was about to be cancelled, why did the loyal and brave Marquis Yu Min come to discuss the marriage with her today?
Ji Zhen carefully glanced at Yu Jingxi, who was kneeling on the ground with his eyes downcast and silent. Then he looked at Yu Min, who was frowning, and was completely confused. He could only confirm with Yu Jingxi:
"Your brother, are you really going to break off the engagement with me? Are you sure?"
Yu Jingxi's kneeling figure swayed for a moment, and finally nodded firmly. He leaned slightly towards Ji Zhen, took a deep breath, and said slowly:
"My brother asked me to come and get the engagement letter. He said that he hopes that Your Highness can find another good man after breaking off the engagement."
What the hell? For real?
Yu Bojun, you didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and you wanted to marry me even if it meant cheating and deceiving me! Now you want to cancel the engagement?
Let me go back to the Northwest?
Still want to find another good man?
Could it be that this guy met some bad luck in love and fell in love with someone else during the time when she was unconscious?
You are my destined husband! If you don't marry me, who else do you want to marry?
Ji Zhen instantly imagined a thousand scenarios in her mind of how Yu Bojun finally came to his senses during her coma, fell in love at first sight with someone else and then fell in love with someone else. Her anger instantly soared to a peak. She slapped the letter on the table and said angrily:
"no!"
"no!"
At this time, Yu Min's voice sounded at the same time, even more angry than Ji Zhen's. Ji Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then saw Yu Min slap the sandalwood table next to her, and a crack immediately appeared on the square table. Ji Zhen's eyes widened even more.
She didn't expect that this loyal and brave marquis actually knew martial arts!
Yu Min's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he looked at Yu Jingxi who was kneeling on the ground, snorted heavily, and said:
"Have you two grown wings? How dare you plan such a thing behind my back? Your brother still has the strength to write. I think he is not seriously ill enough. You should come to cancel the engagement in person so that I can beat you two up together."
"Wait a minute!"
Ji Zhen's mind was almost in a mess, but suddenly he caught a very important sentence and immediately asked:
"Bojun is sick? What happened?"
"what happened?"
Yu Min glared at Yu Jingxi who was kneeling on the ground, pointed at Ji Zhen's chest, and said angrily:
"What else could have happened to my silly boy? It's because you were stabbed here and you couldn't wake up. That boy came to you secretly every day to teach you skills so that you could get better faster. In the end, you woke up, but he fell ill due to overdrawing."
Having said this, Yu Min glared at Yu Jingxi again and said:
"One by one, they have grown wings and kept it a secret from me! Do you think I don't know? Humph, you know, the reason why she was unconscious for so many days is not only because of the knife in her chest, but also because of the poison on the knife! Unless she passed the poison to herself, how can she wake up so quickly?"
Yu Min's words made Yu Jingxi tremble all over. His drooping face turned even paler. He raised his head, bowed to Yu Min, and apologized:
"My son was wrong, please forgive me, mother."
After saying that, he looked up at Ji Zhen, his eyes swept over her slightly red face due to the eight words in the letter, and asked softly:
"Your Highness, are you feeling better?"
Yu Jingxi's voice was very gentle, just like the way he looked at Ji Zhen. Ji Zhen's anger was soothed by Yu Jingxi. She nodded reflexively and replied:
"I'm fine. You gave me so many precious herbs and replenished them every day. What can happen to me?"
Yu Jingxi smiled faintly upon hearing this, a look of relief appeared on his pale face, and he sighed softly:
"That's good."
At this time, Wen Daoxing came in with a small box with a red lacquer base and mother-of-pearl inlays. His eyes quickly swept over Yu Jingxi, looked at Ji Zhen, and then bowed respectfully to Yu Min. Then he handed the thing in his hand to Ji Zhen and said:
"Your Highness, this was found in the general's warehouse. Please take a look."
The exquisite little box looked quite old. Although the dust on it had been cleaned by Wen Daoxing, the marks of time could still be seen in the gaps between the carvings.
Ji Zhen took it and opened it. There really was an engagement book inside! And there were two copies! Yu Jingxi and Yu Bojun's names were in one copy each, written on the title page of the booklet.
"this......"
Ji Zhen held the two booklets in her hands, feeling a little overwhelmed.
The engagement book was found, but now, one of the two people she had engaged with had made up her mind to break off the engagement, and the other had made up her mind to marry someone else.
What should she do? Was her second love life really so bumpy?
While Ji Zhen was stunned, Yu Min snatched the booklet from Yu Jingxi. He stuffed it into his sleeve, stood up, looked down at Yu Jingxi, raised his eyebrows and said:
"Since Jingxi has decided to marry Lord Wang, the Minister of War, as his concubine, it is not good for me as a mother to force her. You are all grown up and have your own thoughts. I can't control you. But your brother Bojun is different from you. As the heir of the marquisate, his marriage is not his decision."
After that, he turned to Ji Zhen and said:
"Since the engagement is already in place, when you recover from your injury, go find an ice man, be polite, and pick a good day to come to my house to propose marriage."
Ji Zhen was stunned for a moment and asked uncertainly:
"But Bojun has decided to cancel the engagement, how can I..."
"break off an engagement?"
Yu Min's face suddenly darkened. She swept her dark eyes over Ji Zhen and said coldly:
"I'm not dead yet. It's not the turn of that rebellious son to be in charge of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion yet."
