The Mystic Princess is Too Invincible! The Abstinent and Cruel King Breaks His Rules and Pampers Her

The next day.

In the council hall, the officials and civil servants were all talking at once: "Who has the audacity to trespass on an emperor's tomb?"

"Our imperial mausoleum was designed and built by the First Master of All Time, and no one has ever dared to enter it in the past thousand years! Although this person was not captured, he is certainly not alive!"

"That's right! One of the tomb guardian beasts is destroyed, and the thieves will be crippled if they're not dead! They're nothing to fear!"

All the civil and military officials were absolutely certain: the thief would not survive! Even if they couldn't be caught, it wouldn't matter.

but!

"Why would thieves break into the imperial tomb for no reason? Regent, what is your opinion?" Upon hearing this, all the officials turned to look at the main hall.

One side of the empty dragon throne.

Murong Yan sat upright in his wheelchair, his handsome, flawless face captivatingly alluring. He was silent and dignified, his aura noble and aloof, making it impossible for anyone to look him directly in the eye.

Murong Yan thought to himself, "Anyone who dares to trespass on the imperial tomb must be bold and capable!"

He had a guess in his mind, and it could only be her.

Was she injured?

"The Regent?" His Highness's courtiers called out again.

Murong Yan snapped out of his daze and dismissed the matter with an air of stern indifference, saying, "The imperial mausoleum is unharmed; there's no need to delve into this matter. Gentlemen, if you have something to say, please speak; otherwise, the court is adjourned."

"The Imperial Master has arrived!"

The Imperial Advisor, looking old and frail, was helped in by Ye Tianxing.

The officials were extremely surprised. "Why has the Imperial Advisor come?"

"Hiss! Look, isn't that an imperial edict in the Grand Preceptor's hand? Does His Majesty have some kind of decree?"

……

"Regent." The Imperial Advisor climbed up shakily, his face crinkling with smiles as he looked at Murong Yan.

Murong Yan's handsome face was indifferent and cold as he spun his wheelchair backward, seemingly disgusted with him.

The Imperial Advisor chuckled, not minding at all.

He turned around, straightened his back, and in front of all the civil and military officials, opened the imperial edict and proclaimed: "The late emperor's last edict! He bestows upon his ninth son, Murong Yan, the honor of marrying Jiang Ling as his consort! The marriage shall be completed on the ninth day of the fifth month. So be it!"

The entire room fell into dead silence.

The Imperial Advisor turned his head and said, "Hehe, Regent, accept the decree."

Murong Yan: "..."

The imperial decree granting the marriage caused a sensation throughout the city!

The Zhenbei General's Mansion is in an uproar!

Wang Jingkang shouted anxiously, "Dad! This can't be true! Did you hear that right?"

"The late emperor has been dead for twenty years! Ling'er wasn't even born then, so where did this imperial edict of marriage come from?" Wang Jingrui cried out in a frenzy, clutching his head. "This is utterly absurd! Has the Imperial Advisor gone mad?"

The old Marquis, also anxious, banged his cane on the ground, "Second son, say something! What exactly happened?"

Wang Dewu took a deep breath, raised his head, scanned the faces of all his family members, and then looked at Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling sat calmly and composed in the corner, neither anxious nor impatient, as if she were talking about someone else's affairs.

Wang Dewu clenched his fist and slammed it on the table: "Nobody believes it! But all the officials in the court have checked it, and the imperial edict is real, and it does indeed have the late emperor's jade seal on it! The Grand Preceptor also said that he asked the late emperor for this imperial edict of marriage twenty years ago."

"Anyone who dares to question this will be disobeying the late emperor, a crime akin to treason! What can we say? We have no choice but to accept it!"

"Father!" Wang Jing'an frowned and asked him, "What did the Regent say?"

Wang Jingkang immediately exclaimed excitedly, "The Regent could never accept such an absurd arranged marriage! Father, the Regent must have refused, right?"

Wang Dewu's expression was numb and empty.

It was only when the old lady stepped forward and slapped him on the back that he snapped out of his daze.

Wang Dewu hesitated for a moment, then said in a complicated tone, "The Regent has received the decree. He also told me that he will go back and prepare the betrothal gifts and marriage certificate, and then send them to the General's residence."

"what??"

"Dad, are you kidding me!"

"Second brother, are you still half asleep? Did you hear me wrong?"

……

Amidst the shocked and disbelieving skepticism of everyone, Jiang Ling's calm and composed voice stood out remarkably.

Jiang Ling asked curiously, "Second Uncle, Murong Yan just accepted it like that? Didn't he kill the Imperial Advisor?"

"The steward said the Imperial Preceptor was on his last breath. So the Regent didn't argue with him, took the imperial decree of marriage, and left." Wang Dewu anxiously walked up to Jiang Ling, "Ling'er, if you don't want to marry, you'd better run now!"

The old marquis slammed his hand on the table. "Then what are you still babbling about? Hurry up and prepare a fine horse for Ling'er! Run it far away, to a neighboring country. I don't believe I can still catch Ling'er and bring her back to marry her."

Wang Jingkang immediately patted his chest, "Leave it to me! I'll take Ling'er away!"

"No need to bother."

Jiang Ling stood up, straightened her sleeves and skirt, and smiled at everyone in the Zhenbei General's Mansion. She wasn't wearing a veil, and her face was ugly and frightening, but her smile was like a gentle breeze, magically soothing everyone's anxious and flustered feelings.

Jiang Ling chuckled and reassured her, "It's just marrying Murong Yan, I'll marry him."

The whole family was completely stunned.

They didn't even know when Jiang Ling left.

After a long time, they slowly and stiffly turned their heads, like oiled wooden figures, looking at each other.

If one is willing to marry and the other is willing to be married, then what are they interfering in?

Wang Dewu hesitated: "Should I make some preparations and marry Ling'er off like a daughter?"

"Prepare for shit!"

The old Marquis was so angry that he pounded his chest and stamped his feet. "The Regent is a cripple! Why should my precious grandson marry him! I refuse to accept this! I will resist... Waaah!"

The old lady shoved a hand over his mouth, "Shut up! Didn't you hear that Ling'er is willing to marry? Who knows, maybe Ling'er likes the Regent!"

"The Regent's face is quite handsome."

Aunt Wang Lanzhi hesitated, then said, "I just don't know if the baby can accept this stepfather?"

At this moment.

Inside the house, Jiang Yuyan asked Jiang Ling, "Mother, are you really going to marry Uncle Yan?"

"Who is Uncle Yan? The man in the wheelchair?" Mud doll Jiang Yuxue tilted her head. She had seen Murong Yan once on Green Mountain, but her impression of him was very faint.

Jiang Yuxue shook her head violently, "No! Mother, don't marry him!"

"Good boy, baby. Be good."

Jiang Ling reached out and touched the heads of the two children. Her smile was calm and serene as she explained, "Once a Celestial Master makes a vow, she must keep it! It's just marriage; Mother won't suffer any loss."

I'm just sorry to Murong Yan, I took the place of his future wife.

She also wanted to use Murong Yan.

Because the day Murong Yan regains his complete destiny, the imperial star will return to its rightful place! Evil will be banished! This means that the current emperor will die.

At that time, there will be a safe way to enter the emperor's tomb and obtain the divine jade!

Jiang Ling reached out and picked up the clay doll, kissing Jiang Yuxue on the head. "Baby, Mommy will definitely let you grow up freely and happily!"

"Mother." Jiang Yuxue said in a childish voice, nuzzling Jiang Ling's face.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yuyan immediately climbed onto Jiang Ling's lap and opened his arms to hug his mother and sister.

"Sister Ling'er!"

Just then, the youngest, Wang Jingping, ran over, looking at Jiang Ling in a panic and exclaiming, "The Regent is here! He's here to deliver the marriage certificate! He even said he'd personally deliver it to you, Sister Ling'er!"

Coming so soon?

Doesn't Murong Yan have any objections at all?

Jiang Ling's eyes were filled with complex emotions. She pursed her lips and nodded, "Okay, please invite him over."

In her arms, Jiang Yuyan and Jiang Yuxue exchanged a glance; the two little babies had their own little schemes.
