On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

Although he was very dissatisfied with Shen Wantang's estrangement, Ji Xunchuan quickly adjusted himself and pretended to be nonchalant as he offered her a seat. After Shen Wantang sat down, he said quietly, "Why did you find an excuse to refuse the marriage proposal a few days ago?"

The man's eyes were filled with scrutiny. He had consulted the imperial physician afterwards and was told that those symptoms were merely allergies and not some hidden illness at all.

Shen Wantang clearly did it on purpose.

Shen Wantang was not surprised that Ji Xunchuan would ask this question. This man was very suspicious, but fortunately she had already thought of an excuse.

"Your Majesty, the General's Mansion has always been loyal to you. If the Marquis of Zhenbei really had the intention of rebellion, Prince Cen would not have agreed to this marriage."

She lowered her eyes, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "It would be better for me to take the initiative to refuse, so that Prince Cen will look at me differently. Maybe I can also give the Zhenbei Marquis the illusion that there is a discord between the monarch and his subjects, so that they can relax their vigilance."

Shen Wantang's words were flawless, and even Ji Xunchuan couldn't find any mistakes. He frowned and asked, "Do you really think so?"

For some reason, he always felt that Shen Wantang seemed to have other ideas.

Shen Wantang stood up and knelt in front of Ji Xunchuan: "Your Majesty, the General's Mansion is loyal to the court, and I am willing to die for the stability of the court."

"However, my life is not worth cherishing. I only want to make my own decisions about my own affairs. This is my only wish in this life. I hope Your Majesty will grant my permission."

After saying this, she bowed and showed great respect.

Ji Xunchuan's expression was gloomy and unclear.

He stared at Shen Wantang's long black hair and remained silent for a long time. Only then did a smile slowly appear on his usually gentle face: "Why do you have to say it so seriously?"

The man stood up and bent down to support Shen Wantang's arm. He helped the girl up, his amber eyes filled with sunlight, covering a haze: "You are right, a girl's marriage is indeed important, I will not be so selfish."

Shen Wantang curled her lips and revealed an emotionless smile.

She knew that Ji Xunchuan would agree.

This man is the best at disguise. At this moment, he still needs to use his hypocritical illusion to win people's hearts. Naturally, he will not do anything to force a woman to marry.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen Wantang thanked him as usual. At this moment, Ji Xunchuan was very close to her, and when they looked at each other, there was a hint of tentativeness in their eyes.

However, this scene is not the same when seen by others.

But Shen Wantang didn't have time to think about these things at the moment. She calmly pulled her arm away from Ji Xunchuan's palm and said softly, "It's getting late. If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."

Ji Xunchuan curled his lips and said, "Miss Shen, why don't you stay for dinner? I just want to discuss the war in Mobei with you. What do you think?"

There has been constant unrest in Mobei recently, and Ji Xunchuan just needs a big victory to prove his wisdom and bravery, so the court is preparing for war.

Shen Wantang said: "Your Majesty, please discuss this important matter with my father. I will take my leave now."

Seeing Shen Wantang's reluctance, Ji Xunchuan did not force her. His eyes fell straight on the girl, and the sharp gaze on her body did not disappear until Shen Wantang walked out of the imperial garden.

It's disgusting.

Shen Wantang thought again of the days in her previous life when she was imprisoned in the deep palace by Ji Xunchuan. Those memories were like nightmares, making her feel nauseous.

She slowly spread out her palms, looked at the palms that were pinched until they bled, her eyes filled with hatred.

Only in this way could she avoid losing her composure. Otherwise, Shen Wantang was really afraid that she would fight to the death with Ji Xunchuan!

The girl closed her eyes, slowly exhaled the foul air in her chest, and continued to walk towards the palace gate. Just as she was about to leave the palace, a shrill voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Her Majesty the Concubine has arrived—"

Shen Wantang paused, she turned around, and saw a woman in a gorgeous gown riding a sedan in front of her. She had pearls and jade on her head, and a pair of upturned phoenix eyes. Although she looked charming, she looked unreasonably mean.

Shen Wantang raised his eyebrows and saluted to the woman: "Greetings, Madam Shufei."

Concubine Shu came forward with the help of her maid. She did not let Shen Wantang stand up, but looked down at her with a mocking smile on her lips: "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Miss Shen."

She received news that His Majesty was intimate with a woman in the Imperial Garden, and immediately rushed over. She originally thought it was a seductress in the palace, but she didn't expect it to be the daughter of a minister.

She seduced the emperor in broad daylight before getting married. How shameless!

The charming face of Concubine Shu twisted for a moment, and her tone suddenly turned cold: "Yushu, slap her in the mouth!"

Hearing this, the maidservant beside her immediately stepped forward, sneered at Shen Wantang, and then raised her hand high.

"boom--"

Before her slap could land, Shen Wantang had already stood up and kicked the maid out!

Concubine Shu's face suddenly turned pale: "You, you just attacked my maid?!"

Now that His Majesty has not yet appointed a queen, she has the highest position in the palace except for her elder sister. She has long been accustomed to being flattered, but she did not expect to meet someone who dared to disobey her orders today.

How audacious!

She came to her senses, gnashing her teeth in anger, and immediately shouted: "Someone! Capture her for me!"

"Let's see who dares!"

Shen Wantang was born into a military family, had practiced martial arts since childhood, had been trained in the army, and with the experience of two lifetimes, her aura was no longer comparable to that of an ordinary woman. With a scolding and a cold glance, she actually made the guards who wanted to surround her take a step back.

She looked at Concubine Shu, whose chest was heaving, and sneered, "My Lady, you have been causing trouble for me recently because His Majesty summoned me, right?"

When she was imprisoned in the palace in her previous life, Concubine Shu often got jealous and came to trouble her. However, Shen Wantang hated Ji Xunchuan so much at that time that she didn't take this woman seriously.

"Since you know that His Majesty favors me, you are not careful and cautious, but instead attack me. Have you ever thought about the consequences? I advise your Majesty that thunder and rain are all grace from the emperor. If you want His Majesty to favor you, you must also figure out who you can provoke."

Concubine Shu was so angry that her cheeks turned red: "You are just a seducer! I will go and tell His Majesty right now that you are disrespectful to me!"

Shen Wantang sneered: "If your Majesty wants to, go ahead. But if you go to complain, I'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy a good meal. What about you, Majesty?"

After saying this, Shen Wantang didn't even look at the anger on Concubine Shu's face and just walked away.

Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and said angrily after a long while: "Go and see His Majesty!"

Shen Wantang originally planned to go back home directly, but when she saw Cen Xiao standing at the palace gate, she was stunned.

Why did he appear here? Did he know that he was summoned to the palace and came here specifically to inquire about the news?

She pursed her lips, looked at the man walking towards her, and said calmly: "How come the prince has time to come to the palace today? If you are worried about what happened a few days ago, don't worry, I haven't told His Majesty anything."
