Chapter 305: Cancellation of Engagement
Xiahou En said sullenly, "Now that things have come to this, there is no point in doing anything."
"Although you are engaged to the Sixth Prince, you have already had physical contact with the Third Prince. I'm afraid that Feng Jun will not let go of this opportunity."
"At worst, we will just have to cancel the Sixth Prince's marriage."
Marquis Weiyuan is Marquis Weiyuan, and he immediately thought of a way to deal with the situation.
Break off the engagement?
Xiahou Zhen was stunned and frowned: "Mom, how can this be possible?"
Xia Houen glared at her and said, "Why are you still willing to sacrifice your life to enjoy the happiness of having two wives?"
Xiahou Zhen pursed her lips and lowered her head: "My daughter doesn't think so, but after all, the engagement between my daughter and the Sixth Prince has been made since childhood. If I cancel the engagement, it will not be good for the Sixth Prince's reputation, and..."
After a pause, he frowned slightly and said, "And once the engagement is cancelled, the choice of the bride will probably fall on the Sixth Prince."
Although I can’t say that I like Ji Lening very much, after all, we grew up together and there is still some affection between us.
How could she break off the engagement and let him marry a foreign prince?
"What else can we do? If you hadn't caused this, why would there be so much trouble?"
Xiahou En's face didn't look very good. She didn't want this to happen. It was really not a good time for her daughter to save people.
"The Right Prime Minister is powerful and well connected in the court. He is also the mother of Lord Feng. Lord Rougui's father's family is weak and he is openly on the side of the Right Prime Minister."
"Rather than offending Lord Feng, it is better to sacrifice the Sixth Prince. I think Lord Feng will not let Lord Rou Gui target our family for the sake of his son."
Xiahou En analyzed it carefully and felt that this was the best way.
Although it would offend Lord Rougui, it was also a helpless move.
"If there is really no other way, this is the only option left."
"But……"
Xiahou Zhen frowned, but had to agree with her mother's words.
If there is really no other way, this is the only way.
"Okay, since you said you want to seek the emperor's opinion, I'm sure Lord Feng will also test his majesty's intentions. After all, changing the candidate is not a trivial matter, and I'm sure his majesty will have some concerns." When the time comes, let his majesty decide on this hot potato, perhaps it will also save them from offending others by asking.
Xiahou En also knew his daughter's difficulties and did not put too much pressure on her.
Not long after Xiahou Zhen left the palace, Hanxue Palace also welcomed an important figure.
The attendant outside the palace shouted: "Your Majesty has arrived!——"
Ji Yao walked into Hanxue Palace surrounded by palace servants.
Hearing the noise, Feng Jun Murong Hua quickly tidied up his appearance and walked out.
"I see you, Your Majesty!"
Ji Yao raised her hand to support him: "No need to be polite, Mr. Feng."
Murong Hua said gracefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"I heard that Xue'er and Shang'er were assassinated, and Xue'er accidentally fell into the water. Is this true?"
Hearing His Majesty mention this, Murong Hua's face turned pale, his phoenix eyes were full, and he said sadly.
"Your Majesty, it is true. The imperial physician has come to see her. Fortunately, she was saved in time, otherwise I would have lost Xue'er."
As she spoke, she could not help wiping her tears with her handkerchief, her manner remaining elegant and pitiful.
"I'll go take a look."
Ji Yao frowned and looked gloomy as he walked into the inner room.
Seeing this, Murong Hua also followed behind.
On the bed, Ji Ruxue was lying with her eyes closed, her face pale and her long eyelashes casting a weak shadow.
When Ji Yao saw her son like this, she felt distressed and angry at the same time!
First, after all, Xue'er is her son whom she has loved since he was a child. There is no reason for her not to feel sad when he was stabbed and injured.
Second, Xue'er was the one she had chosen as the marriage candidate. If something happened at this time, how would she explain to the envoy?
This group of assassins is so arrogant!
He actually committed the crime right under the emperor's feet!
