Time Travel Female Queen, Legend of Medicine Saint

Besides, how could she, the daughter of a young general, have the courage to resist the decree?

Xiao Yi, this name is not famous in the court, just because her father, General Jiang, although brave and good at fighting, is low-key and unassuming.

As the daughter of General Xiao, she naturally lives in seclusion and rarely appears in public. Although she has the blood of a general's daughter, she is essentially a gentle woman who has never thought of competing with the imperial power.

At this time, Ninth Prince Ye Ruize's heart was as heavy as lead.

He raised his head and looked at the Eight Wise Kings sitting there. She was his imperial aunt and his only support in this dynasty. He saw the eyes of the Eight Wise Kings full of disappointment, and the disappointment stung his heart like a needle.

He knew that his imperial aunt also wanted to help him, but the emperor's orders were hard to disobey, and who could change the emperor's decision?

Bai Huanglang lowered his head, and she felt the Ninth Prince's eyes falling on her, but she did not dare to respond. She is just a favorite, who dares to stop what the emperor decides.

Even if he is the biological father of the Ninth Prince, what can he do? His wife is the emperor.

The Ninth Prince looked at Bai Huanglang's lowered head and felt despair in his heart. He originally thought that as long as he persisted, he would one day be able to impress his mother and father.

But now, all hope is gone. The emperor has made up his mind to make a decree. He is about to marry this Miss Xiao, but with Jiang Qingchen, I am afraid it will no longer be possible.

His eyes for help turned to Bai Huanglang again, who was his biological father, but Bai Huanglang gently shook his head. The meaning was obvious: Who can change the emperor's will?

The despair in the Ninth Prince's heart became deeper and deeper. This time I couldn't escape. This marriage will be like a shackles, locking him firmly in the palace.

He had no freedom, no choice, and could only obey the emperor's arrangements.

He stood up slowly and walked towards the emperor with heavy steps. Every step he took was like walking on the tip of a knife, and it hurt my heart.

He knew that he was about to lose the person he loved deeply.

He knelt next to Xiao Yi and whispered in a deep voice: "My son, Ye Ruize, listens to the decree." The voice was full of helplessness and despair. With this voice, his fate was destined and could not be changed.

At this moment, the Ninth Prince's heart was already dead.

He has no hope, no future, only the upcoming marriage and endless pain. He closed his eyes and no longer looked at the person he loved deeply, nor thought about the dream he had had.

Anyway, there was no response from those who went to look for Jiang Qingchen. They were afraid that something bad had happened to her, and in this case, she would be just a living dead.

Without Qingchen, it would be the same no matter who you marry. Anyway, he will be a soulless person from now on.

As if a century had passed, the Ninth Prince walked up to Xiao Yi. He knelt down beside Miss Xiao numbly and whispered in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Ye Ruize, listens."

The emperor, who was sitting on the dragon chair, nodded gently, his expression of satisfaction was palpable.

As the ruler of the world, she naturally cannot take into account everyone's feelings. In her heart, she only cares about the stability of the imperial power and the tranquility of the court.

In the eyes of the emperor, if you take too much into account your personal emotions, you will not be a qualified monarch.

"Rui'er, just understand my painstaking efforts." The emperor looked at the Ninth Prince Ye Ruize gently and continued, "This girl Xiao Yi is both talented and beautiful. I believe you will live a happy life. The day after tomorrow is auspicious. Your marriage..."

Just when everyone thought that the marriage was a foregone conclusion, a crisp voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silent atmosphere, "Wait a minute, Your Majesty, Jiang Qingchen is late."

This sudden sound made everyone raise their heads in surprise, and saw Jiang Qingchen walking in a plain dress.

Her appearance seemed to bring a breath of fresh air to this dull palace.

As soon as the Ninth Prince Ye Ruize heard Jiang Qingchen's voice, an indescribable excitement suddenly surged in his heart.

He ignored etiquette and stood up hurriedly, his eyes shining with surprise. He looked at Jiang Qingchen steadily, as if he was afraid that all this was just his illusion, "Qingchen, you...are you really back? Am I not dreaming?"

Jiang Qingchen couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart when he saw the ninth prince's surprise. She nodded gently and said softly: "I'm fine, I'm back."

After saying that, she turned to face the emperor and knelt down respectfully, "I, Jiang Qingchen, came back late and was unable to meet the emperor in time. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

A trace of surprise flashed in the emperor's eyes. She didn't expect Jiang Qingchen to come back at this time. But she quickly regained her composure and said calmly: "Jiang Qingchen, you came back just in time. I was about to make the decision on Xiao Yi and Rui'er's marriage. Since you are back, let me tell you what you think."

Jiang Qingchen raised her head and met the emperor's gaze. Her eyes flashed with determination, "Your Majesty, I am in love with the ninth prince. The position of the principal wife of the minister has been reserved for the ninth prince. The ninth prince cannot marry Xiao." girl."

As soon as these words came out, the entire palace fell silent. Everyone looked at Jiang Qingchen in surprise, unable to believe that she would block the emperor's will so directly.

The emperor's expression also changed slightly. She didn't expect Jiang Qingchen to be so direct. But she was the emperor after all, and she quickly regained her composure, "Jiang Qingchen, do you know what it is to obstruct my will?"

Jiang Qingchen took a deep breath and said firmly: "I know. But I can't go against my will for the sake of my own safety. I have the same affection with the Ninth Prince and have already made a lifelong commitment. If Miss Xiao reluctantly stays with the Ninth Prince, I'm afraid that none of the three of us will be happy anymore. It's okay for me and others, but if the Ninth Prince is depressed all day long, what should he do?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ninth Prince Ye Ruize stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I also ask you to take back your life. I only have Jiang Qingchen in my heart, and I can no longer accept anyone else."

The emperor frowned slightly, her eyes wandering back and forth between Jiang Qingchen and Ye Ruize, seeming to be looking for something. Complex emotions surged in her heart, including determination for the imperial power and helplessness for the love between her children.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm down her emotions, and then spoke slowly: "Rui'er, as a prince, you should know that royal marriage is not child's play. How can you change it easily due to personal emotions?"

When Ye Ruize heard this, his heart tightened, but he did not flinch. Instead, he raised his head firmly and looked directly into the emperor's eyes, "Your Majesty, I know the importance of royal marriage, but I believe even more that without feelings Marriage will not be happy. I would rather give up everything than spend my life with someone I don’t love.”

The emperor couldn't help but feel a little moved when he heard Ye Ruize's words. She looked at the child she loved with all her heart, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

Ye Ruize is a loving and righteous child, but he is also a member of the royal family, and his marriage is related to the interests of the royal family.

Jiang Qingchen also saw the emperor's hesitation. She was overjoyed and quickly took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, I know that my request may embarrass the emperor, but I beg the emperor to understand my feelings. There is indeed a relationship between Miss Xiao and the Ninth Prince. He has no feelings and delayed the life of the Ninth Prince by granting them marriage."

The emperor became even more hesitant after hearing Jiang Qingchen's words. She knew that what Jiang Qingchen said made sense. As a mother, she certainly wants her children to be happy.

However, as an emperor, she cannot ignore the interests of the royal family and the stability of the court.

She pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "Well, since you are so persistent, then I will help you."

Hearing the emperor's words, Ye Ruize and Jiang Qingchen both smiled happily. They knew that this was the result of their hard work and the emperor's tolerance and consideration for them.

The emperor had previously promised the Ninth Prince that as long as Jiang Qingchen came back, he would fulfill both of them. She concluded in her heart that Jiang Qingchen would definitely not be able to come back today.

Unexpectedly, a miracle happened.
