The Marquis of Ningguo used to be the father-in-law of the Crown Prince Xiao Linye and was dissatisfied with the heart of ten thousand.

First of all, it was because his daughter grew up with spoiled spoils, but she wanted to marry a sick prince who was not valued. He was worried that his daughter would become a widow not long after she married, and she would not even have a son or half of her daughter, and would live her life alone.

Secondly, the emperor is in his prime and seems to be able to live for many years. The prince will definitely die in front of the emperor. Even if he takes the title of Prince's Concubine, he has no real power. Before he can survive until the day he becomes the emperor, the prince will die.

So when the emperor proposed to marry Xiao Linye as his wife, he actually said that he was unwilling to do anything, but he did not dare to disobey the emperor, for fear that he would cause a catastrophe to the entire Ningguo Marquis' Mansion, so he had to force his face to agree with a smile.

However, unexpectedly, fate gave his daughter such a great surprise. King Rui colluded with people from Nanyue to rebel, almost all the princes were killed. Even the emperor was tortured by poison.

However, the prince escaped by luck. Not only was he not controlled by those terrible insects, nor was he tortured by severe poison, he also gradually recuperated his body, which was exhausted from the lamp, under the rejuvenation of Xu Muqing's wonderful hands.

His daughter was still married, the serious Crown Princess, and the childhood sweetheart who grew up together. This was a god-given marriage.

"Your Highness used to love Shi Tong very much. He is pure and kind-hearted. He shouldn't have kicked his daughter away before he ascended the throne, right? We Shi Tong didn't do anything that made Your Highness disgusted. We are more than enough to match His Highness."

As Xiao Linye's teacher, Liu Zhiling still knows his temperament very well. Since he felt that Xiao Linye would not do anything to be sorry to Shi Tong, he decided. Even though she was still beating in her heart, she couldn't tell where the vague uneasiness came from nearby.

He said this, not sure whether he said it to his wife or to comfort himself on purpose.

"Forget it, let's not think too much about it here. Let's wait until His Royal Highness and Liu Shitong finish talking to see what they are talking about before deciding."

Even if Mrs. Hou was worried and extremely uneasy, she could only hold back at this time.

In the garden, Xiao Linye and Liu Shitong walked side by side on the bluestone path. The road was surrounded by colorful flowers, as quiet and beautiful as a paradise on earth. The water was gurgling, the birds were singing and the fragrance of flowers made people calm down their anxiety.

After walking for a long time, Liu Shitong finally couldn't help but break the silence first. "Senior brother, thank you for saving my father and my brother. It was you who asked Sister Mu Qing to bring them down, which made them very sick. You lucky enough to escape the palace chaos initiated by King Rui."

She was not stupid. That night, the loyal ministers who were trusted by the emperor fell under the sword of the rebels. She went to inquire later, and there were more than twenty people.

With her father's stubborn and stubborn temperament, she would never give up and compromise. When her father was present, she would definitely end up with a different body and head.

Xiao Linye did not deny it, but looked at her seriously and said, "Gu promised you that you will not let your family suffer any harm. Even if you terminate the engagement in the future, Gu will still take care of you. Of course, he will do what he says."

Liu Shitong felt a little moved. Her dazzling eyes looked at Xiao Linye and suddenly showed a gorgeous smile, "Senior Brother Prince, what you promised me before will terminate the engagement between us. Are you still willing? Can you keep your word?"

Xiao Linye did not give a clear answer immediately, and stared at her straight, "What about you, have you changed your mind now? Do you want to terminate the engagement and find the happiness you want?"

Of course, he hoped that the consensus reached before would be realized now, but he was afraid that Shi Tong would improve because of his health. She said that she actually loved him and was willing to fulfill the engagement between the two, so that he would have to spend more time at that time.

Seeing his subconsciously tense body, Liu Shitong knew that he really wanted to terminate the engagement, so she didn't make any decision to bother her. She immediately said happily, "Of course I want to terminate the engagement. We had agreed before that if possible, we must let each other go freely."

"So my senior brother, I won't feel sad about the matter of termination of the engagement. I have always been like my brother and sister, only with brother-sister feelings and no love. If you terminate the engagement, just follow what you said in senior brother, I will never complain."

She smiled, her eyes sincere and without any perfunctory and hypocrisy, "I want to find my own happiness, and I also want my senior brother to reap everything I want."

The anxiety in Xiao Linye's heart disappeared instantly, and his body relaxed, "Junior sister, thank you for understanding Gu. Since you have reached a consensus with you, Gu will explain this matter clearly to the teacher."

Liu Shitong waved her hand and said proudly, "What are you thanking me? I'm not for my senior brother, I want to find my happiness."

She paused for a moment and sent Xiao Linye the most sincere blessing, "Senior Brother, I wish you and Sister Mu Qing a lover to finally get married and be happy for the rest of your life."

Xiao Linye felt a sense of sweetness and pride in his heart, "Then Gu thank you for your blessings from junior sister. Gu and Mu Qing will definitely be very happy. Gu also wishes his junior sister a good husband as soon as possible and live the life you want."

Because Liu Shitong was about to terminate the engagement, she had a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere all over her body. "Then I will tell my parents now that it would be better for me to bring up this matter."

Seeing that she had no complaints or grievances, Xiao Linye couldn't help but look up at her a few times. Liu Shitong, the youngest sister, was not fascinated by the glory and wealth. Her mind was always clear, smarter than he thought, and she knew how to adapt.

"Maybe my parents will say something bad to my senior brother, and ask me to take care of me when the time comes." She gave Xiao Linye psychological defense in advance.

Her parents have been smiling from ear to ear these days, and even when they walk, they are full of wind, so proud and arrogant that their tails are almost rising to the sky.

If a basin of cold water is poured down like this, her parents will be furious.

Xiao Linye has always been an open-minded and generous man. As long as he can successfully terminate the engagement, he doesn't mind being said a few bad things by the teacher. After all, termination of the engagement is really too big. As a parent who loves his daughter, how can he withstand such a big blow?

After the two discussed it privately, Liu Shitong took a few deep breaths as if she was home, and went to meet Liu Zhiling and his wife with Xiao Linye.

Mrs. Ningguo Hou had already prepared a sumptuous and delicious meal. Seeing the daughter of the golden boy and jade girl and her future son-in-law come over, she was attentive and enthusiastic, "Your Highness, the prince, the wife of the minister has asked someone to prepare a sumptuous meal, and she also asked Your Highness to stay for lunch."

Xiao Linye turned his head and looked at Liu Shitong, without saying anything, smiling politely and decently.

Liu Shitong mustered up the courage and said, "Dad, mom, I have something to tell you."

Her face was serious, her body was tense, her voice was a little fluttering and trembling.

When Liu Zhiling and his wife saw her, their hearts sank directly, and the bad feeling surged up again.

"Lunch time is up, eat first, and you will talk about anything after you have eaten." Liu Zhiling subconsciously interrupted his daughter. At this moment, he was angry in his heart. He took a lot of effort and held it in for a long time before he rushed over and beat his daughter up.

Liu Shitong has been waiting for this moment for a long time. How could she let her parents ruin her good things at this critical moment? She said without hesitation, "Dad, mother, I have just told the prince's senior brother that I want to terminate the engagement with him and find the happiness I want."

Liu Zhiling felt an old mouthful of blood surged up in his heart. At this moment, he wanted to make his daughter silence. Does she know what she was talking about?

Canceling the engagement with the prince is equivalent to handing over the position of the queen to others. This was originally the best opportunity to bring the entire Liu family to a more brilliant and prominent one.

Mrs. Hou is a woman with a bad temper and is not good at hiding her own mind. When she saw her daughter say this, her face immediately became very gloomy and ugly. She raised her head and slapped her daughter's head hard.

"Stupid girl, what are you talking nonsense? Is the marriage event a joke in your eyes? It was a marriage contract given by the late emperor. If you say that the engagement will be terminated?"

Liu Shitong covered her painful head, "Mom, why are you hitting me? When I was almost unable to survive the illness the first two times, I had already agreed with the prince's senior brother that if I had the chance, I must terminate the engagement. I have no desire for my senior brother, and I have said the old saying, "I am not sweet."

"So before the Crown Prince ascended the throne and became the emperor, I wanted to terminate the engagement first. I told the public that I had found a monk to do it. My senior brother and I were not in line with each other's horoscope and forcibly tied together, which was not good for us. The Crown Prince said that everything respected my ideas."

Liu Zhiling and his wife were angry and anxious, wishing they could block her mouth with a ragged rag, and cursed with gritted teeth, "Liu Shitong, shut up! The major events of marriage are all about the orders of their parents and the matchmakers. You can't be so willful."

"Your Highness, Shi Tong has been spoiled by her husband since she was a child. She has never considered the consequences when doing things, and her words are even more brainless. Please don't take Shi Tong's words to heart."

Xiao Linye looked at the teacher who was so scared that he knelt in front of him and immediately bent down to help the person up, "Teacher, what are you doing? The junior sister wanted to pursue her happiness, so how could Gu not support her? She did not do anything wrong, but wanted to obey her wishes and did not do anything that was harmful to the world. How could Gu blame her?"

Liu Zhiling was even more upset. He didn't want his daughter to terminate the engagement now. He wanted Shi Tong to become the crown princess. No, after the filial piety period, the emperor would get married. Shi Tong was directly the queen of the mother's mother's marriage. What else is more glorious than this?

Liu Shitong is a master of sabotage. Before her father could speak, she said with bright eyes, "Senior brother, you can follow me in the matter of termination of the engagement. I think Sister Mu Qing is more suitable for you. She has cured the poison on your body. If she can marry you, she will be with you every day in the future and help you take care of your body. She is beautiful, independent, and has a kind heart."

"I think Sister Mu Qing is more suitable to be the queen of the mother world, and I already have a lover. I also want to marry someone I like, and I love each other and have a deep affection, rather than being a pair of resentful couples and torture each other."

The Marquis of Ning Guoxiao glared at his daughter with threat, "Liu Shitong, no one thinks you are mute if you don't speak. What you say about marriage is not your limit, but what your parents say is. If you rashly terminate the engagement, it is to despise the royal majesty and not take the emperor seriously. You are going to push the entire Liu family into a dangerous situation, and you will be said to be uneducated. How do you want those famous nobles in the capital to point fingers behind us?"

Liu Shitong shrank for a moment, lowered her head and muttered in a low voice, "It's obvious that you can't bear to be the queen, why do you say so well? But I don't want to go to the palace to be the queen at all."

Xiao Linye's lips curled up and a big smile appeared, "Teacher, no matter whether Shi Tong is the queen or not, the position of the top noble of the Liu family is standing firm. You can rest assured that this is. I received the sincere treatment and protection of the teacher when I was a teenager, and I will never treat the Liu family unfairly."

He looked at Liu Shitong, begging and gentle, as if he was watching his sister who grew up with her since childhood, only love but not love.

"As for Shitong, she wanted to terminate the engagement, and the teacher said that Gu also felt that it was very awkward to be a husband and wife with her, so the engagement would be abandoned. Gu would let someone write a document to explain clearly that we have a bad birth date and horoscope, and we will never be happy if we are forcibly tied together. It would be better to terminate the engagement and marry each other."

He paused for a moment, and his expression became very serious and serious. "What the teacher and his wife are worried about is that others will point fingers behind their backs, but that does not exist at all. Orphanage will not cause rumors that are not conducive to the Liu family, and will not cause any harm to the junior sister. This is guaranteed."

Xiao Linye said such words, that is, his mind has been decided and there is no room for change.

Liu Zhiling and his wife were so heartbroken that they were reluctant to die, but they could only accept everything depressedly, "I am sure that everything is what the crown prince wants."

Xiao Linye could naturally feel the pain and disappointment in his teacher's heart. He slowed down his tone and continued, "After Gu ascended the throne, he needed to cultivate a lot of the forces he needed. Junior Brother Chengjun is naturally the person he trusts the most. At that time, Gu will rely more on his teacher and junior brother."

Ning Guohou's heart beat violently uncontrollably, and a hint of ecstasy surged in his eyes, "I must have taken the dog son to follow His Royal Highness the Prince with all his heart, even if he goes through fire and water."

What Xiao Linye is most satisfied with is Liu Zhiling's ability to judge the situation. He can make choices in the shortest time and reduce the damage to the minimum. "Since we have all agreed, we will terminate the engagement like this. I wish my junior sister a good friend to find the best husband as soon as possible and that my junior brother can reach the top."

Mrs. Liu Zhiling sincerely invited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to stay for lunch, but Xiao Linye still had many things to deal with. After he achieved his goal, he no longer needed to stay and left with his entourage.

Liu Shitong was so happy that she almost jumped up after she got the prince's senior brother to terminate the engagement. Even if she tried her best to endure the smile, her parents could feel her happiness through the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Mrs. Hou was so angry that she took a feather duster and hit her daughter. "Liu Shitong, it's all your fault. Who told you to terminate the engagement? Is your brain unsophisticated? Others have no chance to try their best, but you turned it off without any cherishing. Mom is almost angry with you."

Liu Shitong hugged her head in a mess and ran around flexibly, "Mom, don't hit me, my body is only slightly adjusted and recuperated. If you hit me again, I will be beaten to death by you."

"Then why did you terminate the engagement? I think you have too many good days. That is the queen of Mother Yi, how much glory and benefits can it bring to the entire Liu family? Why did you tell Your Highness privately without our consent, do you have to be happy to have your parents? "

Mrs. Hou ran away but couldn't run away from her daughter, and her mouth was worn out. Her daughter was still like this. She couldn't tell whether she was tired or her heart. She threw the feather duster on the ground and sat on the chair and covered her face and started crying.

"Why do I raise your unfilial daughter? Why are you disobedient? Did I owe you in my previous life and let you torture me like this? What kind of evil did I do? Why did you treat me like this?"

When Liu Shitong saw her mother crying heartbrokenly, she was even more sad than the last time she swallowed rat poison and cried. She couldn't help but be stunned. She couldn't help but feel a little bad. She looked at her father helplessly. Her father's face was as gloomy as a storm was about to come.

"Mom, stop crying. I know I'm wrong. I will never kill me first and then report again. Can you forgive me this time?" She walked up and gently wiped my mother's tears with a veil.

"What's the use of not crying? That's the queen of Mother Yi Tianxia. Why do you let go? As long as you are unwilling to let go, the Crown Prince will never dare to say that you don't want you. If you don't marry you, why do you give up such a good man?"

Mrs. Hou was so angry that she cried and said sobbingly.

"Mom, the senior brother of the prince doesn't like me at all. Then why do you think I'm shameless and stick it on me? Do you have to be left alone after marriage and be disliked by the emperor and the queen mother? I think the best choice is to know the general and advance and retreat. At least the senior brother will feel that he owes our Liu family and will compensate him from another place in the future."

She explained to her mother patiently and whispered, or that these words were actually for her father to hear.

Mrs. Hou was in a state of emotion and said unhappy and dissatisfied, "That was also a marriage contract given by the late emperor. If Your Highness regrets the marriage, it is unkind!"

Liu Shitong almost knelt down for her mother, covering her head in pain and madness, "Mom, why are you staring at the queen's position? You only see the ultimate glorious and noble status, why don't you see the crisis and bloody storm hidden behind it?"

Mrs. Hou saw her daughter's terrible calm mind, "What do you mean? Does the prince dislike you and are unwilling to marry you and are unwilling to let you be the queen? Your father is the prince's teacher, and the engagement was decided very early. Why do you dislike you and why do you regret it?"

She was about to vomit blood by her mother's natural and shameless attitude, and she couldn't help but say in a sharp tone, "Have you forgotten how I resisted and disliked marrying the senior brother of the prince? The first time I took so many rat poisons, I almost died. I finally saved my life from the gate of hell."

"The second time, I was so ill that I was vague about the marriage granting. I didn't want to marry the senior brother of the crown prince at that time. You saw with your own eyes. Not to mention me, my parents, didn't you want me to marry the senior brother at that time?"

Liu Shitong fell on her parents' faces with a sarcastic look, and suddenly shed a sneer of mocking, "Dad, I'll ask you. If my future sister-in-law is already engaged to my brother, she cries and makes trouble and doesn't want to marry, and she is looking for death, you will know about it."

"Can you still like that sister-in-law? Can you still accept that marriage without any grudge? My future sister-in-law dislikes my brother and doesn't want to marry at all. She resisted it several times. What would you feel at that time?"

Mrs. Hou immediately raised all the attacks like a cat that was stepped on to her tail, "My son is outstanding in everything, no matter his family background, appearance, character, talent and talent. Which girl married him has cultivated a lot of blessings in her previous life, and she dared to dislike my son. Why should I let my son marry such a woman? Let her get out as soon as possible!"

Liu Shitong's mocking intention was so obvious, it was like a basin of cold water fell down. "The Empress Dowager's heart is good, and I have been seeking death twice because I was given a marriage to my senior brother. Do you think there will be any grudges in the Queen Mother and the Senior Brother?"

Mrs. Hou was so arrogant that she suddenly became timid when asked, and her face turned pale, "That's different. Your elder brother is healthy, you can do everything in swords and tricks, and you are very good at literary and martial arts. His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, was in poor health before, and would completely disappear from this world at any time."

Liu Shitong planned to say his mother coldly, "However, in the heart of the Empress Dowager, the senior brother is also the best and best, just like you see the brother. Don't make excuses. If I am like you, insisting on fulfilling the engagement, in the eyes of the Senior Brother of the Prince, I am just a villain who worships high and falls and changes his responsibilities when he sees the wind. They will not like me, especially the Queen Mother."
