Chapter 197 Killing Intent
Chapter 197 Killing
"I don't agree!" Shangguan Chen stood up and said angrily.
He didn't care about General Peng anymore, so he strode to the middle and pulled out Hua Rongrong's hand: "Hua Rongrong, do you dare to say it again?"
As he said that, he stared straight into Hua Rongrong's eyes, and his anger surged: "Even if you are put in the kitchen as a cook for the rest of your life, you must stay in the mansion and be my princess!"
Shangguan Chen's words made Hua Rongrong even more heartbroken. Seeing the anger in Shangguan Chen's eyes, he gently pushed Shangguan Chen's hand: "Since the prince doesn't like Rongrong, why should he force it? Rongrong has always been self-aware. Now he has taken the initiative to ask the emperor to make the decision and has dismissed the title of Princess, wouldn't everyone be happy?"
Everyone in the hall became a foil. Seeing that the two were arguing in the middle of the hall, no one dared to come forward to stop it. There was a dance carefully arranged by the concubine behind him, and it was forced to stop. The whole banquet changed its nature, and everyone was paying attention to the two people who were quarreling.
"Okay, the emperor's brother and sister-in-law don't argue anymore." Shangguan Yu sat leisurely on the imperial chair, watching the two of them quarreled more and more fiercely, and then said slowly.
Shangguan Chen then held back the anger in his heart and looked at Hua Rongrong unwillingly. He didn't expect that this woman would be so cruel and would give up on herself so easily.
"Emperor brother, everyone says that a small separation is better than a newlywed. It would be better if you and your sister-in-law separate for the time being. It just so happens that our frontier has been repeatedly offended. I am planning to ask the emperor brother to take action. I believe that with the emperor brother guarding over the frontier, we will definitely be safe forever!" Shangguan Yu said with a smile.
Hua Rongrong's heart trembled and then was stunned. It turned out that Shangguan Chen was upset yesterday, which was related to the emperor's request for him to guard the border.
At this time, the emperor spoke again in front of the ministers, and Shangguan Chen could not refuse anyway.
Hua Rongrong couldn't help but look up at Shangguan Yu, and saw the handsome young man still sitting on the dragon throne with a smile on his face, looking at Shangguan Chen as if nothing had happened, and waiting patiently for his answer.
Shangguan Chen took a deep breath, tried hard to restrain his temper, and barely kept calm on his face. Yesterday, the emperor asked him to tell him about this matter, and he had clearly refused. At this time, the emperor proposed it again, and in front of so many people, it was obvious that he would not give him the chance to refuse.
"I accept the order." After a long time, Shangguan Chen slowly knelt on the ground and said with his fists.
Hua Rongrong didn't expect that things would go to this point, and a hint of uneasiness arose in her heart. She naturally knew how much impact this matter had on Shangguan Chen.
The two of them immediately sat down, the banquet continued, and a storm passed like this, and the hall immediately returned to the state of singing and dancing, as if what happened just now was an illusion, and people smiled again.
Hua Rongrong turned her head and looked at Shangguan Chen who was sitting aside in a quiet voice. Her previous anger disappeared.
The dark eyes were invisible at first glance, and the cold expression made people unable to guess what he was thinking at this moment.
Hua Rongrong couldn't help but feel a little regretful about her behavior just now, but when she thought of Shangguan Chen's unpleasant slap, her heart that had just loosened became hard again.
For the rest of the time, Hua Rongrong and Shangguan Chen couldn't eat it. Finally, the banquet ended. Shangguan Chen immediately stood up, grabbed Hua Rongrong's hand domineeringly, and said, "Rongrong, go home with me."
"Be gentle, you hurt me." Hua Rongrong raised her head, pulled her hand back a little distantly, and said softly.
"Rongrong, what do you mean, let's go home?" Shangguan Chen grabbed Hua Rongrong's wrist again. This time the movement was obviously much softer. A trace of light flashed in his dark eyes, and his tone actually had a hint of pleading.
Hua Rongrong couldn't figure out what Shangguan Chen meant for a while, so he looked at Shangguan Chen's eyes carefully: "What kind of person are you?"
That familiar heartache once again hits my heart, causing inexplicable sadness to surge in Hua Rongrong's heart.
"Prince, if you still have a trace of feelings for me, please give me some time. I am very confused now and need a good rest." Hua Rongrong gently pushed Shangguan Chen's hand away again and said alienatedly.
"Yes, my elder brother, I have to talk to you. The emperor sister-in-law is also a princess after all. How could she let her do such a low-key job as a cook?" Shangguan Yu didn't know when she appeared behind Hua Rongrong and smiled.
"Emperor, this is my family matter, so it's not convenient for the emperor to ask too much." A trace of soft color that originally appeared on Shangguan Chen's face disappeared without a trace with Shangguan Yu's appearance.
"Haha, don't think too much about the emperor brother. I'm just caring about the following emperor brother. Since the relationship between the emperor sister-in-law and the emperor brother is so incompatible, the emperor brother should not let the emperor sister be with him. It just so happened that the queen was pregnant during this period. If the emperor sister-in-law could stay in the palace to chat with the queen and relieve her boredom, it would be great." Shangguan Yu's face was still that innocent smile, which made people involuntarily willing to believe him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hua Rongrong bowed to Shangguan Yu and thanked him.
Then he turned to look at Shangguan Chen: "I really need someone to be quiet."
"It's not a matter of trouble for the emperor. I will solve it myself." Shangguan Chen said coldly, his tone was extremely firm, and there was no room for negotiation.
Even if Hua Rongrong really doesn't understand her, she can't be allowed to fall into Shangguan Yu's hands.
"Since this is the case, I won't force it." Shangguan Yu's smile did not change at all, and he smiled at Shangguan Chen.
"The border war is in a tight situation, and I hope the emperor will rush to reach the border as soon as possible to share the country's worries."
Shangguan Chen was forcibly dragged onto the carriage until after the palace, Shangguan Chen held Hua Rongrong's hand tightly before letting go.
"Hiss..." Hua Rongrong immediately took a breath of air conditioning, and the wrist was so hot that it hurt.
When I lifted my sleeves and saw two blood marks on my wrists, silently proclaiming Shangguan Chen's rudeness just now.
"Rongrong... I'm sorry." Shangguan Chen's eyes darkened, and a hint of care flashed quickly on his face, but the light in the carriage was relatively dark and Hua Rongrong did not see it.
"The situation is quite chaotic, I will beat you... I have to do it." Shangguan Chen whispered with deep regret in his voice.
"Is the throne that important?" Hua Rongrong sat opposite Shangguan Chen, his eyes gradually empty, as if he was blending into the endless darkness, and the atmosphere was indescribable.
"It doesn't matter, but if I don't fight for the throne, I can't protect my beloved person. Shangguan Yu will find various excuses to suppress me. With his personality, he cannot tolerate someone who may compete for the throne with him at any time." Shangguan Chen's voice lowered a little more, and his eyes fell on Hua Rongrong's injured wrist and said.
Under the dark light, the scarlet blood marks looked dark. For some reason, this scene was a bit familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.
"I just want to live a peaceful life and don't want to get involved in various disputes anymore. I hope the prince will succeed." Hua Rongrong said with a dull heart.
"Rongrong, I have explained to you. Do you still want to leave me?" Shangguan Chen suddenly turned his head, his dark eyes shining in the darkness. He looked at Hua Rongrong in a straight voice and asked in a deep voice.
Hua Rongrong felt very uncomfortable being stared at, lowered her head and said cruelly: "I just want to be alone. There are too many things that have happened recently. I am really tired."
"Since you have made a decision, I don't want to force you, but you have to promise me that during the days when I guard the border, you must take good care of yourself and never enter the palace. Being controlled by Shangguan Yu." Shangguan Chen raised his hand, gently stroked Hua Rongrong's beautiful face, and said.
"Okay, I promise you that I will not enter the palace, nor will I stay in the palace." Hua Rongrong's whole body shook, and the gentle touch made Hua Rongrong feel mixed.
How could I fall in love with a man as complicated as Shangguan Chen? When I am gentle, I can confuse people so hard that I can't refuse them, and when I hurt others, I can instantly fall from heaven to the bottom.
"Does it still hurt?" Shangguan Chen asked gently massaged Hua Rongrong's face with a slap.
Hua Rongrong shook her head: "The face doesn't hurt, but it hurts."
The back door of the royal palace.
A low voice sounded in the dark: "The third prince entered the border to guard the emperor. The emperor hopes that you can be with the prince, and do not want the prince to appear on the border."
"What the emperor means is to kill the prince on the way?" Concubine Li was a little surprised, and her voice rang in the dark.
"General Peng and the prince's movements are getting more and more frequent. The emperor can't wait and have to start earlier." The low voice said again.
"But there are guards around the road. How could I do it without help?" Li Fei asked.
"Don't worry, the emperor has secretly given you ten dead soldiers to serve you on the road. When the time is right, you can just call a command." The man smiled in a low voice and said.
"Okay, as long as the prince dies, will the emperor take me into the harem?" Concubine Li asked again with a little concern.
"That's natural. The queen sees all your humbleness towards you, but because of the prince, she has no action. As long as the prince dies, you can enter the palace and be taken care of by the emperor." The bass laughed.
Then he was afraid that Concubine Li would not believe it, and added: "Our Ziyue Kingdom has had this rule since ancient times. The emperor helped the prince take care of his widow. What else is there to worry about the empress?"
"Who?" Suddenly a female voice rang out not far away.
The black shadow then whizzed and disappeared into the darkness.
The maid passing by was frightened and immediately raised the lantern in her hand and walked carefully to the place where the sound had just been made.
Concubine Li was anxious, but she didn't dare to move, for fear that the maid would accidentally alert her and be discovered by the maid.
"It's not a ghost of Ruyi, right..." The maid said to herself, then suddenly turned around and found that there was nothing. She patted her chest with confidence and comforted: "It's really my own fear of scaring myself, where did the ghost come from in the world."
"Whether there is a ghost? Wouldn't you know after you die?" A slim voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"Ah!" The maid had no time to scream, and the black shadow had already twisted her neck and broke it with a crack.
