Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang
Chapter 56: The Lady of the Marquisate Kills the Time-Traveling Girl (31)
The sword tip pierced into Hsieh Su-wei's chest, blood stained her dress, and she fell heavily to the ground with disbelief in her eyes.
"I'm not wrong, I...what's wrong with that..."
After saying this, Hsieh Su-wei slowly closed her eyes and breathed her last.
Emperor Shangwu withdrew his gaze and said softly, "Have someone clean up the prison. Ci'er, you are the crown prince I have chosen. Your reputation must not be damaged."
Shen Qingci's face changed. He didn't want to deal with state affairs, so he pretended to be weak and coughed, saying weakly.
"Father, the cold poison seems to have taken effect."
"Your Highness, are you okay? You must be taking medicine. I will help you back!"
Xuan Huang appeared at the right time, supported Shen Qingci, and without waiting for the emperor to speak, he quickly slipped away.
Emperor Shangwu looked at Shen Qingci's leaving figure and smiled helplessly. He had fought for the throne of the emperor at a risk of his life.
Unexpectedly, when he was choosing the crown prince, Shen Qingci refused in every possible way and used the cold poison as an excuse.
Oh, do you really think he doesn't know that Shi Qing has cured the cold poison of his son?
Seeing how diligently Shen Qingci visited the Shi family, Emperor Shangwu felt that he should remind the empress to prepare the betrothal gifts and go to the Shi family to propose marriage when the time was right.
What? Some people think it's unlucky for the second prince to marry a second-married woman.
Emperor Shangwu held power, so it was easy for him to suppress such things. However, Emperor Shangwu decided to amend the law so that all women in the world would have the opportunity to divorce on their own.
The most painful thing is to be tied to the backyard for the rest of your life because of marriage and waste half of your life.
This move greatly benefited the people of Xuan Kingdom. In the era when men were respected, women had few opportunities to make decisions. Not only did they have to be virtuous, but they also had to take many risks.
The actions taken by Xuan State also made the women of Xuan State respect the emperor even more.
After leaving the prison, Xuan Huang looked at Shen Qingci suspiciously and said
"Your Highness, your cold poison has clearly been cured. Why do you always refuse when the Emperor mentions appointing a crown prince?"
Shen Qingci changed his sickly look, and a smile appeared on his originally cold and handsome face.
"My father is still strong and healthy, and my father in Xuan Kingdom can still hold on. But if my wife runs away, I will never be able to catch her."
Xuan Huang scratched his head, a little confused, "Is there someone your Highness likes?"
Eleven, who was guarding the carriage, was speechless and looked at Xuan Huang helplessly.
"Your Highness, the eldest daughter of the Shi family will be leaving the capital tonight. Her parents will be returning to Wuzhou anytime soon. If Your Highness doesn't go now, it will be too late."
As he spoke, Eleven led the prepared Arabian horse in front of Shen Qingci and looked at him encouragingly.
"Your Highness, this opportunity cannot be missed. Go now!"
Shen Qingci leaped up and sat firmly on the Ferghana horse. He waved the whip, clamped the horse's belly, and galloped towards the Shi family.
Shi's parents had already packed their luggage, and the servants had moved the luggage onto the carriage, leaving nothing behind.
Shi Qing sat in the carriage, looking at his parents' worried expressions, and said in confusion
"Mom, are you waiting for someone?"
Madam Shi walked into the carriage, stroked her daughter's hair, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Qingqing, the Second Prince has been very diligent in coming to our Shi family these days. I can see that he has put a lot of thought into helping you escape from the Lu family. I can see that he is interested in you."
Mrs. Shi held her daughter's hand and gently counseled her.
"Mother sees that you are not heartless towards the Second Prince. Are you not going to say goodbye to His Highness when you leave today? Mother knows that you dare not face your feelings honestly because of the Lu family, but my dear, people's feelings are what they feel. Mother always respects your choice."
Madam Shi has always been generous. Her business is booming and she has expanded it across the country. She makes a fortune every day, which is enough for Shi Qing to squander for many years.
It was just a second marriage, which was nothing. Besides, the court laws were enlightened and there were more ways for women to survive.
"No need, mother, let's go back to Wuzhou."
After saying this, Shi Qing lowered the curtain.
Madam Shi sighed, jumped off the carriage, and was about to ask the coachman to hurry up, but the next second, someone snatched the whip away and drove away in the carriage.
Mrs. Shi was about to send someone to chase after him, but was stopped by Shi's father.
"Madam, the one who just drove away was the Second Prince."
The old man stroked his beard calmly. His Highness's feelings for Qingqing were obvious on the surface, but they were also extremely secretive.
But Father Shi had seen countless people, and he believed that the Second Prince was a very good person and would definitely not let Qingqing down.
Compared to Lu Wenbai, who was always greedy, Shi's father was more optimistic about the Second Prince. When Shen Qingci was not infected with the cold poison, she was ranked first in the list of women in the capital who wanted to marry.
"Forget it, shall we set off again tomorrow?"
Father Shi shook his head. "No, there are still some things to deal with in Wuzhou. I'm afraid the cases in the government office are piling up. My wife and I will return to Wuzhou first. I left Qingqing 100,000 taels of silver, which should be enough for her expenses."
Madam Shi raised her eyebrows. Her husband was really generous. However, children and grandchildren would have their own blessings. It happened that the Second Prince had saved her life in no way to repay him, so... let her daughter return it.
However, Shi's father and mother did not know that at this time, the betrothal gifts prepared by Shen Qingci were also rushed to Wuzhou.
Shi Qing sat in the carriage, feeling the speed of the carriage all the way, until someone suddenly pulled the reins and the carriage stopped.
The curtain of the car was pulled open, and Shen Qingci's handsome face appeared in front of Shi Qing. He pursed his thin lips and seemed to be a little displeased.
"Qingqing, if I hadn't hijacked the carriage today, would you have wanted to leave the capital?"
Shi Qing was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Second Prince, you are the future Crown Prince. As a second-time bride, I dare not marry someone of such high status."
She deliberately provoked Shen Qingci, repeatedly crossing his bottom line. It would be fun if she didn't bully the younger man.
Shen Qingci's deep eyes turned slightly red. He held Shi Qing horizontally in his arms and, ignoring the surprised looks of the people around him, forcibly carried Shi Qing into Qingyaju.
In the quiet bamboo garden, inside the red gauze tent, Shi Qing was thrown on the bed, and her already charming face became even more eye-catching.
Shen Qingci licked the corner of his lips, held the back of her head, and gave her rosy lips a hot kiss.
At some point, his hand reached into the girl's clothes and unbuttoned them, revealing her fair body. Her figure was exquisite and her beautiful curves were beyond reach.
The pine scent from the man's clothes made Shi Qing a little intoxicated. When she was distracted, she only heard Shen Qingci's voice.
"Qingqing, will you marry me?"
Shi Qing didn't say anything, but just hooked his arms around Shen Qingci's neck, seducing him like a fairy.
"Let me consider this for a while, Your Highness, and then you can make the decision."
Shen Qingci stepped forward, untied the hair tie on his head, and tied Shi Qing's hands. His peach blossom eyes were slightly red, and he spoke in a firm tone.
"My dear, I am delighted with you. I would like to marry you with a beautiful wedding dress and a phoenix crown and a gorgeous bridal robe. I promise."
As he said this, he placed a kiss on her forehead very sincerely.
Shi Qing curled the corners of his mouth, smiled coquettishly, and spoke with a sweet breath.
"Well, that depends on your highness. He serves you very attentively!"
