Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered
Chapter 161 World 3: The Emperor Who Has No Heir Seizes His Minister’s Wife (40)
"Your Majesty, please keep your promise and spare our lives."
Xie Changling spoke word by word, his tone neither sad nor happy, as if he had lost all his life, and he looked distraught and in a miserable state.
His arms were bleeding, and due to excessive blood loss, his face was as pale as a piece of torn paper, but he seemed to have lost all consciousness.
Because he was already so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
Every word he spoke was like a sharp knife, ruthlessly cutting his heart open, piece by piece, with blood dripping.
Xie Changling's voice was hoarse, and the pain in his eyes was about to drown him. He looked as miserable as a dog, and could no longer straighten his back.
The princess looked at Xie Changling and suddenly found him scary. If he could endure such a thing, he must be too patient.
She suddenly felt a little worried. If Xie Changling ever gained power, would he retaliate against her?
The eldest princess narrowed her eyes and thought about it. Various ideas flashed through her mind, and then she rejected them one by one.
Although she didn't know Xiao Jin very well, it was true that he had a vengeful nature.
Xiao Jin will not give Xie Changling this opportunity, and will not let him stand up again.
The princess finally felt relieved. Her most urgent priority was not to worry about Xie Changling and whether he would retaliate in the future.
Instead, Song Lingxi had met with an accident in her own mansion. If the prime minister knew that his eldest son Xie Changling had been humiliated at his side again, he would definitely retaliate against her.
When the princess thought of this, she suddenly became a little anxious. She was really afraid of the old fox, the prime minister.
After all, she could more or less find some handles on officials, but for so many years, she had never figured out the prime minister. He was an honest official, handled things tactfully, and was quite capable.
After thinking so much, the princess decided to place all her bets on Xie Changling, fearing that Xie Changling could not bear such a big blow and would commit suicide!
In this way, the conflict between the prime minister and the emperor can still be intensified. Perhaps only in this way can she benefit from it instead of suffering losses.
After realizing this, the eldest princess began to escalate the conflict with words again. She opened her red lips slightly, and every word she said pierced the heart.
"Master Xie, in fact, your choice is correct. After all, the Prime Minister's wife is your mother who gave birth to you and raised you. She is definitely better than a young lady who was just married a few days ago."
The eldest princess' words deeply overwhelmed Xie Changling. He wanted to say that it was not true, but he was powerless to refute it.
Xie Changling finally couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears. His tears and blood mixed together and he was so sad that he vomited blood from his mouth.
The eldest princess became even more proud when she saw this, and suddenly she thought of a good point to attack him.
"Master Xie, you are a smart person, and you value filial piety. With your character and looks, you can definitely find someone better. Oh, no, someone who is more to your liking."
Xie Changling wanted to stand up and resist, but the knife on his neck held him down so tightly that he couldn't stand up at all.
However, the eldest princess' words reminded Xiao Jin that he had snatched away Xie Changling's wife, so he could give her back to him.
Although none of them could compare to his Xi'er, it should be easy to find someone who was worthy of Xie Changling. He remembered that a while ago, an old minister asked him to act as a matchmaker.
However, the premise of all this is whether Xie Changling is willing. Otherwise, if someone is thinking about his Xier all day long, he will not tolerate such a person.
Xiao Jin looked at him with his hands behind his back, a hint of inquiry in his eyes. He wanted to know whether Xie Changling had really given up, so he tried again.
"Since you have signed the divorce agreement with your own hands, you should just live your life well in the future. I will find you a good marriage. Are you willing?"
When Xie Changling heard this, his already hunched back became even more unable to straighten up. He lowered his head, wiped away his tears, and concealed the sarcasm on the corners of his mouth.
He felt a needle-like pain in his heart, as if a knife was cutting away his heart flesh bit by bit, but he could not complain or resist, he could only obey.
Xie Changling couldn't help but wonder, what did Xiao Jin mean by this? Was it not enough to separate him and Xi'er, but he actually wanted to cut off all his escape routes?
……
After a moment of silence, Xie Changling's voice was hoarse, like the sound of sawing wood: "Do I have a choice?"
"You dare not accept it?"
The princess was worried that she had no chance. She had already severely offended the prime minister's family. What if the prime minister came back and the old man was very cunning and wanted to take revenge on her? What would he do?
After waiting for this opportunity with great difficulty, the eldest princess immediately grabbed Xie Changling's tail, not wanting to miss the chance to kill him.
"Your Majesty, thunder and lightning are all grace from the Emperor. Young Master Xie is obviously unconvinced. He is holding a grudge today. There is no guarantee that he will not disobey Your Majesty in the future, or even commit treason!"
After hearing this, Xiao Jin's eyes darkened. He was the emperor and he had to maintain his position at all costs.
If Xie Changling really had rebellious intentions, he would definitely not be merciful, even though they had a childhood friendship and even though he had saved his life.
"Look up at me."
Xiao Jin's voice was slightly deep. If one listened carefully, one could detect the undisguised murderous intent in his tone.
Xie Changling was very smart. He knew that Xiao Jin had murderous intentions at the moment. If his performance this time did not satisfy him, he would really lose his life.
He even thought in a self-destructive way that if he really died, would he still leave a good impression in Xier's heart, and would not be the kind of villain who sold his wife for fame and fortune.
Xie Changling smiled bitterly, he would not give up just like that, not only for his own and his mother's reputation, but also to gather strength and find the right time to rescue Xier.
Thinking of this, a raging fire burned in his eyes. Xier was his first wife, and he would not give her up to anyone else.
I am really too weak...
Xie Changling thought so much, but he kept his head down and refused to raise it. Xiao Jin had already become impatient.
"If you have any intention of disobeying me, then -"
Before he could finish, Xie Changling pretended to be disheartened and raised his head so that Xiao Jin could see everything clearly.
"Your Majesty, I only ask that you show mercy and spare me and my family. The rest is up to your command."
After Xie Changling finished speaking, he knelt down and performed a respectful salute. Even though his body was covered in blood, he still had the demeanor of a gentleman.
Xiao Jin narrowed his eyes and said nothing, as if he was considering the truthfulness in his tone.
The gap in between was very long, and Xie Changling's forehead was covered with cold sweat, because he knew that this was a life-and-death moment for him.
If he could survive, there would still be a chance to turn the situation around. If he couldn't, his life and the entire future of the Prime Minister's Mansion would be at stake.
Time passed minute by minute. The eldest princess looked at the subtle atmosphere between the two people in front of her. Her sharp phoenix eyes kept examining the scene, and she was thinking about something in her mind.
Suddenly, Xiao Jin laughed heartily: "Hahahahaha, okay."
"If you really think so, I will pick a good woman for you when I return. In the future, you should stop thinking about the wrong people."
Xiao Jin's meaning was very clear, which was to warn Xie Changling.
There is no justice under the imperial power. Even if Xiao Jin's request is no longer reasonable, Xie Changling has no way to deal with it now.
"Yes, thank you Lord for your kindness."
Xie Changling looked calm on the surface, but in fact he felt like vomiting blood in his heart. He wished he could travel back to the past and beat his nosy self to death.
Now that his wife has been taken away, he still has to kneel here to express his gratitude to his enemy for sparing his life.
The eldest princess was unwilling to see the two men shake hands and make peace. This was not the outcome she wanted to see.
What does this mean? Can't Xie Changling be a little brave? How can he swallow his anger when his wife is taken away by someone?
"Your Majesty, if you don't remove the roots, there will be disaster."
The eldest princess thought so and knelt down. The duck in her mouth was about to fly away, and she really didn't want Xiao Jin to let the matter go lightly.
Xie Changling didn't even raise his head. He knew that Xiao Jin wouldn't do anything to him now. The princess' words would only make Xiao Jin more determined.
As expected, the next moment, he heard Xiao Jin's indifferent question: "Do you want me to execute him so much, sister?"
What the superior person most wants to see is definitely not to help one party crush the other, but to see multiple parties fighting so that he can benefit from it.
If he helped the princess kill the prime minister today, and the princess consolidated the power of the dynasty and dominated it, wouldn't he be making wedding dresses for others?
It was hard to tell whether Xiao Jin was happy or angry in his tone, but this one sentence directly exposed the eldest princess's thoughts and made her break out in a cold sweat.
"Minister, I am too talkative."
When the princess heard the warning in Xiao Jin's words, she immediately broke out in a cold sweat and secretly annoyed herself for being too impatient.
Xiao Jin ignored the two of them and said, "Xi'er should be awake by now. I will take her back to the palace."
Xiao Jin's tone was full of doting. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xie Changling who was kneeling on the ground, as if inadvertently.
Hearing Song Lingxi's name, Xie Changling clenched his fingers, and his bony hands turned slightly white. Fortunately, the blood stain covered his hands among the bloodstains, making them less noticeable.
"Congratulations to the emperor."
Xie Changling still had his head down and knelt straight, until Xiao Jin's figure gradually disappeared. Then Xie Changling raised his head and stared in the direction where he left, in a daze.
"Mr. Xie is really patient. I admire him. But I wonder if Miss Lingxi knew that she was betrayed by her husband——"
The eldest princess seemed to have thought of something funny. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and giggled, and the golden hairpin on her head fluttered.
Xier...
Will Xier blame him? She will definitely blame herself for being such a coward and hypocrite!
When Xie Changling thought of Song Lingxi's hateful eyes towards him, he almost died.
Xie Changling felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. His heart began to ache. Even though the wound was on his arm, he felt like he was dying from the pain.
