The sickly fox demon is not easy to tease

After Nan Lijun and Nan Xingchen left.

King Xun of Chu sat upright on the dragon throne, with a hint of helplessness and regret in his eyes.

He discussed with Nan Lijun privately, hoping to match his son with the daughter of Cai Zhao and Nan Jingchuan, but in the end his plan was not fulfilled.

Thinking of the ridiculous things his son did last night, Nan Xingchen must look down on his son.

King Xun of Chu frowned slightly and said to the guard leader Xue Quan beside him: "Nan Xingchen's character is really becoming more and more like Cai Yu."

Xue Quan carefully observed his expression and said softly, "Your Majesty, you have done your best for the Nanwang Mansion."

King Xun of Chu raised his eyelids slightly, looked up and knocked on the desk, staring at the memorials on it, and the smile on his face deepened.

Xue Quan smiled and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, have you encountered any happy events?"

King Xun of Chu picked up the memorial on the table and said, "General Shi is suing that Nan Xingchen ordered someone to beat his daughter last night."

"how is this possible?"

Xue Quan's eyes widened slightly, with a look of disbelief.

How could Nan Xingchen, that cowardly waste who couldn't practice cultivation, openly challenge Miss Shi and even order people to beat her?

Xue Quan had a lot of thoughts in his mind. His Majesty had paid a lot of attention to that waste over the years, and now it seemed that he was very satisfied with her changes.

If King Xun of Chu had not granted marriage to the second prince and Nan Xingchen, Xue Quan would even suspect that Nan Xingchen was the illegitimate daughter of King Xun of Chu.

When King Xun of Chu saw that Xue Quan was stunned, he knocked on the memorial in his hand, making a banging sound.

Xue Quan recovered and immediately knelt down to pay his respects, saying in a trembling voice: "I was so frightened that I lost my mind for a moment. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

King Xun of Chu said in a muffled voice: "No problem, the Queen Mother's birthday will be in five days, can you invite Nan Xingchen?"

Xue Quan said tremblingly: "His Majesty has specifically ordered that an invitation has been sent to the Nanwang Mansion."

King Xun of Chu sat back on the dragon chair, half-closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Okay. When the birthday banquet is over, you ask someone to bring her here. I have something to ask her."

Xue Quan nodded in agreement.

……

Nan Lijun and Nan Xingchen left Xuantian Hall and walked out of the palace gate.

Got on the carriage back home.

Nan Xingchen tilted his head and looked at Nan Lijun, then said, "Grandpa, do you think your granddaughter is willful?"

On the way here, Nan Lijun had a long face and said nothing. Nan Xingchen thought that the cancellation of the engagement would not go smoothly.

She was quite surprised that Nan Lijun would speak up for her like this.

Nan Lijun laughed out loud: "My granddaughter, Nan Lijun, what's wrong with being a little willful?"

Nan Xingchen had never dared to come to the palace before. She was timid, cowardly and incompetent, and was often ridiculed and despised by others.

But today, when she came to the palace, she held her back straight, and faced King Xun of Chu with neither servility nor arrogance in her words.

Nan Lijun was very satisfied with the changes in her granddaughter.

Nan Xingchen smiled brightly: "Grandpa, from today on, Xing'er will practice hard, and protect you and the Nan Palace in the future."

Nan Lijun said excitedly: "Okay, okay, there are no weak women in the Nan Palace. Your mother is a Spiritual Emperor, and your aunt is a Spiritual King. You will definitely surpass them."

……

In the private room of Zuishanlou in Kyoto.

A masked woman is sitting in front of the dining table, seemingly waiting for someone?

About half a cup of tea later, a young man in a blue robe and a veiled hat pushed the door open and walked in.

He hurriedly closed the door and said in a deep voice, "After what happened last night...why did you have to see me today?"

The masked woman was Shi Zhi.

Seeing the man in front of her being indifferent to her, she felt wronged and cried, "Your Highness, how can you say that to me? Last night, I went home and was scolded by my father. He said I had an affair before marriage and was shameless..."

She was crying so hard that her eyes were wet, looking so pitiful that she staggered and was about to throw herself into Chu Mohan's arms.

Chu Mohan dodged with a flash of his body, a hint of disgust rising in his eyes.

This look of his was just caught by Shi Zhi.

Shi Zhi didn't understand. She had been humiliated last night and just wanted to be with him, so why did he despise her?

Shi Zhi wiped her tears and looked up at him with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

She sobbed a few times, suppressed the resentment on her face, and said gently, "Your Highness."

Chu Mohan glanced at her and said in a distant tone: "Ms. Shi Zhi, what happened last night was all my fault. However, the mistake has been made. Now the whole Great Domain Country is spreading rumors about you and me. For the sake of your reputation, please don't ask me to meet privately in the future."

Shi Zhi was shocked when she heard this: "What? How could you say such cruel words to me?"

Chu Mohan was startled, and said with a little resentment in his voice: "If you hadn't seduced me on purpose last night, how could I have done this? My father scolded me severely, and I no longer have any good impression of him. All the hard work I put in over the years has gone to waste..."

He sighed deeply and added: "I am leaving this door today and we will have nothing to do with each other anymore."

"Your Highness, you can't treat me like this?"

In desperation, Shi Zhi threw herself on him, hugged him tightly, and cried inconsolably.

Chu Mohan tried to pry her hands apart and said coldly, "Let go. It's good for both you and me."

Shi Zhi cried and shook her head: "No, I won't let go. The whole of Kyoto knows that I am yours. If you don't want me, how will I cope with it?"

Chu Mohan said ruthlessly: "What does it have to do with me?"

Shi Zhi asked again: "Then will you marry that bitch Nan Xingchen?"

Chu Mohan said in a cold voice: "If she is willing to marry, I am naturally willing to marry her."

Shi Zhi gritted her teeth in anger. She was unwilling to lose to that bitch, and a hint of resentment appeared in her eyes.

That day in the Soul-Devouring Forest, she should have shot that bitch Nan Xingchen with a few more arrows, preferably with thousands of arrows piercing her heart, leaving her with no chance of survival.

She thought marrying Chu Mohan was a foregone conclusion, but who would have thought that a man who should have been dead long ago would suddenly come back alive?

dong dong dong...

There was a hurried knock on the door.

Chu Mohan asked loudly: "What's the matter?"

The guard at the door responded, "Your Highness, the chief of the guards around the king, Xue Quan, has arrived with the imperial edict."

Chu Mohan was surprised and asked, "What?"

In a hurry, Shi Zhi hid behind the screen, and Xue Quan pushed the door open with the imperial edict.

He shouted loudly: "Second Prince Chu Mohan accepts the imperial edict."

Chu Mohan knelt down quickly.

Xue Quan began to read the imperial edict: "The imperial edict: Because the second prince Chu Mohan has no moral integrity, disregards ethics, and has committed adultery before marriage, it is obvious that at the request of the Southern Palace, the marriage agreement is terminated. However, the second prince's behavior violates etiquette and law and undermines the dignity of the royal family. To serve as a warning to others, his right to the throne is deposed and his choice of the throne is taken away. This is hereby announced!"

Shi Zhi, who was hiding behind the screen, had a strange smile on her face. Nan Xingchen, this stupid woman, actually took the initiative to cancel the engagement?

Isn't this making room for her?

Chu Mohan's face was pale, he was stunned, and his facial expressions changed constantly.

After what happened last night, he had thought it through and no longer despised Nan Xingchen. He was ready to marry her and live a good life with her.

She actually ran to her father and asked to cancel the engagement! ?

Where is his face?

"Second Prince, please take the imperial edict." Xue Quan handed it over.
