The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Shu Xiao looked at her cold appearance sitting upright in the chair, and then at the two glasses of wine placed on the small table beside her. He understood that there were two paths before him: freedom and death.

Always choose one or the other.

He was a general who fought on the battlefield and was personally taught by General Chu Yi. As a man, he had to learn to take responsibility for his own affairs.

Although these two glasses of wine were a bit risky, they could completely sever the connection between him and Princess Anding.

"Why, General Shu, don't you dare to gamble? I heard that General Shu fought bravely on the battlefield, is it all fake? Don't you dare to take responsibility for the marriage between you and me?"

Princess Anding's words were very harsh, and she sneered repeatedly, "If General Shu doesn't do as I say and either cancel the engagement or die, I will fight you to the death!"

"Shu Xiao never intended to refuse!" Shu Xiao said in a deep voice, his gaze shifting from Princess Anding's face to the two small cups on the table, his eyes burning.

Princess Anding smiled brightly: "General Shu Xiao, please."

Shu Xiao suddenly clenched his hands into fists, strode forward, and stood beside the small table. The two glasses of wine were placed in front of him.

A faint light came in from the window and fell on the wine. The light reflected from the surface of the wine was actually quite dazzling.

Shu Xiao looked at the wine, and Princess Anding turned her head to look at him. There was silence inside and outside the hall, as if there was nothing left between heaven and earth, only these two glasses of wine, waiting to decide his life or death.

Shu Xiao gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand, picked up the glass of wine closest to him, and drank it all in one gulp without any hesitation.

"throat!"

He threw the wine glass on the table, and the glass made a slight sound when it hit the table. Shu Xiao turned around, faced Princess Anding, and waited for the result.

Princess Anding stood up slowly, smiling.

Shu Xiao looked at her, and as he looked, he found that the Princess Anding in front of him suddenly turned into two, and then into three. He shook his head vigorously and found that Princess Anding had turned into countless, surrounding him and he could not escape.

"General Shu is drunk. Go into my room and rest for a while." Princess Anding's voice was extremely gentle, like the quiet water of a lake, flowing from his ears into his heart, unstoppable.

Princess Anding helped him to the inner room, and he lay on the bed unconsciously. The boundless lake water surged up and drowned him, leaving him unconscious.

……

Chu Heyi stayed by Xie Lin's bedside all night. After he woke up, Yao An, the eunuch from Taiji Hall, came to report: "The emperor has been ill since yesterday morning and has not been able to get up yet. Imperial Doctor Xu and Imperial Doctor Lu have been guarding Taiji Hall and have not left."

Chu Heyi asked, "What do the two doctors say?"

Yao An shook his head: "The imperial physician said it's hard to say. The emperor's illness this time is unpredictable. Maybe he will be better tomorrow, maybe in a month, maybe in a year or two, or even for the rest of his life."

Chu Heyi realized that the emperor's power had been hollowed out. He could not bear the psychological pressure and fell ill.

Or maybe the emperor knew that there was a power shift in the palace, and if he was not "seriously ill", he would be laughed at, so he chose to "fall ill".

No matter what the reason was, the emperor's "falling ill" on his own initiative was an extremely good situation for her and Xie Lin.

Chu Heyi said: "Since the emperor is seriously ill, let him rest in the Taiji Palace. I will go to visit the emperor after I finish my work here."

——We still have to use the emperor's words to cancel the engagement between Shu Xiao and Princess Anding.

Yao An nodded in agreement.

Chu Heyi said: "The late crown prince has not been buried yet, and there are many things to do, so I can't leave for the time being.

"Prince Cheng and his wife plotted a rebellion and forced the emperor to abdicate. After the conspiracy was exposed, they fled Shengjing City and their whereabouts are still unknown. I still need to discuss with Lord Wen Tingshen how to write a proclamation and issue an imperial edict to the world."

As they were talking, Wen Tingshen arrived and Yao An immediately took his leave.

Chu Heyi learned from him about the progress of Dongfang Ye's burial, and then mentioned the matter of King Cheng and his wife's defection and the writing of the manifesto.

Wen Tingshen was filled with indignation: "I am willing to do my best to complete this manifesto and live up to the expectations of the Crown Princess!"

So good.

Chu Heyi immediately said, "Lord Wen has his country in his heart, and he is also a pillar of our Daqi. It is most appropriate for Lord Wen to write this manifesto. I am waiting for Lord Wen's result!"

Wen Tingshen bowed and said, "Thank you, Crown Princess, for your trust."

Chu Heyi added: "There is one more thing I would like to ask Lord Wen for help."

"Princess, please speak."

Chu Heyi said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is weak and there are too many memorials. I'm afraid he won't be able to review them all. If he insists on reviewing them, I'm afraid his body won't be able to bear it. Sir Wen, please divide the memorials into two parts. One part is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must review personally, and the other part is what he can review or not."

After a moment of hesitation, Wen Tingshen nodded in agreement.

Chu Heyi stayed in Qianqiu Palace, cleaning Xie Lin, feeding him medicine and ginseng soup. No matter what, Chu Heyi treated him as a patient who would wake up sooner or later.

She was busy until noon. Wen Tingshen sorted out some memorials that had to be reviewed by Xie Lin and delivered them personally. Chu Heyi took them and went into Qianqiu Hall, pretending to review them for Xie Lin, but in fact she reviewed them all personally.

However, she read the contents of the memorial to Xie Lin and told him her comments, without caring whether he could hear it or not.

At lunch time, Gan Sui came to take Xie Lin's pulse. In the expectant gaze of Chu Heyi, he shook his head.

Chu Heyi's eyes were filled with disappointment and pain, but she did not dwell on this emotion for too long and she cheered herself up.

She had lunch with the service of Nanny Rui and Xianyue, then looked at the sky and felt that it was time for her to go to Taiji Hall to talk to the emperor about breaking off the engagement.

As a result, Shu Xiao arrived first. His face was extremely pale and he walked in front of her with just one breath.

Before he could speak, Chu Heyi asked, "What happened?"

Shu Xiao looked at her, feeling extremely sad. Although he no longer hoped to marry the girl he loved in this life, he also didn't want to marry someone he hated.

Seeing that he was silent, Chu Heyi took the initiative to say, "I am about to go to Taiji Palace to ask the emperor to cancel your marriage with Princess Anding."

Shu Xiao was stunned: "Hasn't the Crown Princess gone to see the Emperor yet?"

Chu Heyi told Shu Xiao what he had to do in the morning.

Shu Xiao was stunned. He thought that Chu Heyi had already gone to see the emperor and Princess Anding would know that he wanted to cancel the engagement.

It turned out that Princess Anding had already seen through Chu Heyi's thoughts before he left, so she deliberately created that illusion for him.

Is... this my fate?

Shu Xiao was shocked and took a step back.

"What's wrong with you? What happened?" Chu Heyi frowned.

Meeting her concerned look, Shu Xiao suddenly smiled at himself.

He looked at Chu Heyi and thought she was very beautiful since she was a child. But now, in order to protect Xie Lin, the Chu family, and Daqi, she has grown herself into a flower blooming in the snow. She looks delicate, but is actually tough.

he thinks……
