After the twenty big boards were played, Luo Yanzhi couldn't even make a sound.

He was carried into the temple and put on the ground.

Even though he was wearing thick clothes in winter, there was still blood oozing from his back, and his face was even more frighteningly white.

But even so, he still had to grit his teeth and get up, kneel on the ground, and thank the emperor.

Even though he didn't feel that he was wrong, he could only grit his teeth and suffer the slap in the face.

Just because the other party is the emperor, no matter whether he is rewarded or punished, he has to thank him.

This scene fell in the eyes of everyone present, and the reactions were different.

Some are sympathetic, some are in awe, and some are thoughtful.

Xia Yuran was still kneeling, she didn't dare to look at Luo Yanzhi next to her.

She is the daughter of Princess Hua'an, and the only granddaughter of the Empress Dowager. She has been held in the palm of her hand like a pearl since she was a child. She has never suffered any grievance. No matter how others feel.

Today is the first time for her to feel what is called the majesty of the emperor.

In front of the emperor, no matter what status she was, life and death were only in his mind.

in a silence.

The emperor spoke coldly.

"Since the two of you have given each other privately, I will fulfill you and give you marriages."

Luo Yanzhi suddenly raised his head, his red eyes full of anger.

Let him marry such a rude and shameless woman, and he will definitely become the laughing stock of the entire Shengjing in the future!

He wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he still swallowed them.

He has been demoted all the way from the prince to the county king. If he openly resists the decree at this time, the emperor can pick him up and demote him down. You must know that the lowest king in the Dasheng Dynasty is the county king, and if he is demoted further, he can only be a commoner.

Even if he was extremely resentful in his heart, Luo Yanzhi could only bow his head in hatred in the end.

"Chen brother, thank you according to the order."

No matter how stupid Xia Yuran was, she knew that marrying Luo Yanzhi under such circumstances would definitely make life difficult for her in the future.

But she didn't dare to refuse, she was afraid that she would also be dragged out to play the board.

She nodded tremblingly in thanks.

The family feast on the first day of the new year has come to an end.

Xia Yuran went home with his parents and younger brother.

The concubine took the younger son in a carriage, while Xia Yuran followed Princess Hua An in another carriage.

Inside the car, Xia Yuran was lying on her mother's lap, crying uncontrollably.

Princess Hua An was so distressed that she persuaded softly.

"Don't cry, this is the end, we can only actively find a way to face it."

Xia Yuran cried and said, "What else can I think of? The emperor has already decreed marriage, can I still resist the decree?"

Princess Hua'an comforted: "Didn't you always like King Jingxian? It is your wish to marry him now, and you should think about the good side."

Xia Yuran: "Yes, I really like him, but I don't want to marry him in this way!"

Princess Hua'an also knew very well in her heart that this way of conferring marriage was tantamount to slapping King Jingxian and Xia Yuran in the face, both of them were very shameless.

Both of them grew up with gold and jade, and they are used to being self-centered. Now, forcing the two of them together in such a shameful situation will only make them resent each other.

In this way, how can they live in peace?

I don't know if this marriage is marriage or revenge.

Everyone thought it was over.

Unexpectedly, on the third day of the new year, the emperor issued another imperial decree, scolding Xia Yuran for lack of talent and virtue, and unworthy of being the county head, so she was demoted from the county head to the township ruler.

Xia Yuran accepted the imperial decree and cried again in the room.

Now even Princess Hua'an noticed something was wrong.

If it was just a private exchange, it would be a heavy punishment to demote Xia Yuran from the county lord to the county lord.

Is there any other secret here?

Princess Hua'an went to her daughter's courtyard on purpose to comfort her daughter.

When Xia Yuran's mood gradually calmed down, Princess Hua'an asked about the business.

"Tell me the truth, on the first day of the new year, did you and King Jingxian do anything else upstairs besides private exchanges?"

Facing his mother, Xia Yuran hesitated for a moment before telling the truth.

After listening to her, Princess Hua'an's face was already extremely ugly.

When Princess Hua'an raised her hand, she slapped her in the face and slapped her daughter's face fiercely.

A crisp sound!

Xia Yuran was immediately stunned.

This is the first time she has been beaten by her mother since she was born.

After a short delay, she came back to her senses, and tears burst into her eyes again in an instant.

She was crying even harder than before.

However, this time Princess Hua'an did not appease her, but endured her distress and scolded her coldly.

"I thought you were just a little headstrong, and with your background, it's nothing to be headstrong.

But I didn't expect that you are not only willful, but also stupid, impulsive and self-righteous!

With just a little delusion, you randomly speculate on the relationship between the imperial concubine and the king of Jingxian County, and you also delusionally try to pinch the king of Jingxian County.

how? Do you think everyone is a fool and you are the only smart person in the world?

If you are really so powerful, what kind of princess would you be? You go straight to proclaim yourself a king! "

Xia Yuran was so red-faced that she couldn't say a word, and in the end she could only lie down on the desk and cry.

Princess Hua'an felt very uncomfortable when she saw her daughter like this.

But in the end, she still held back and did not open her mouth to comfort her, but said with a ruthless heart.

"Since the emperor has given you a marriage, then you will stay at home and wait for marriage. Before getting married, you can't take another step out of the house. If you dare to come again, don't blame me for not recognizing your daughter. !"

After she finished speaking, she walked away.

Only Xia Yuran was left crying in the room alone.

Princess Hua'an told the concubine about the matter, and the concubine broke out in a cold sweat when she arrived.

The concubine has a gentle temperament and is usually more indulgent towards her children, but she never expected her daughter to do such a dangerous thing.

Without real evidence, it was speculated that the imperial concubine had an affair with another man.

If this matter gets too big, it would be like forcibly putting a cuckold on the emperor's head!

How can the emperor bear it?

If he could keep Xia Yuran alive, it was already an extra kindness.

Princess Hua'an had a headache with anger.

"I really didn't expect Yuran to be so confused, and it's my fault that we usually manage her too loosely.

I plan to go to the palace and ask my mother to give me two more powerful maids.

Before Yu Ran is married, let the maids take good care of her, and let her know what it means to be high. "

The concubine asked warmly, "Do you want me to accompany you to the palace?"

Princess Hua'an shook her head: "No, there are a lot of people visiting the house to pay New Year's greetings recently. You can't have no one in your family. You have to stay at home. I'll just go to the palace alone."
