Chapter 179 Forced
When Shen Jingxuan saw the emperor's appearance, she shifted her gaze slightly and met Xie Lingxiao's eyes.
After Xie Lingxiao nodded slightly to Shen Jingxuan, he turned his head and continued to look at the emperor.
He is thinking about his princess and wants to get away with it. Does he think he is dead?
Since they dare to have such dirty thoughts, even if Xie Zihan and Lu Jinxuan cannot be executed immediately, they must be skinned alive and made to suffer unbearable pain.
There was a long silence. After all, the emperor was concerned about the queen. He was worried that he would not handle the matter properly and make the queen sad.
The emperor seemed to have made up his mind, and gritted his teeth and said: "Since this happened between the prince and Lu Jinxuan, in order not to affect Lu Jinxuan's reputation, I will grant her the title of Crown Princess.
Although he didn't want the Prime Minister's Office and the Crown Prince to become closer, this was the only way now.
The queen looked at the emperor in horror. How could this be possible? How could they get married?
Xie Zihan suddenly looked at Shen Jingxuan and realized that she was not unhappy at all, and felt depressed.
Shen Jingxuan really no longer liked him, and she remained indifferent even when she learned that he was going to marry someone else.
Looking at her calm face, Xie Zihan felt a sudden pain in his heart.
He cannot marry anyone else, his Crown Princess can only be Shen Jingxuan.
Thinking of this, Xie Zihan made up his mind: "Father, I don't want to marry my cousin.
Lu Jinxuan watched everything expressionlessly, and her hatred for Shen Jingxuan grew stronger.
Why Shen Jingxuan?
Why are there so many men around her?
She has a man she likes, and Xie Zihan is obsessed with her, so why does he want to compete with her for the position of Regent?
Now, in public, everyone knows what happened between her and Xie Zihan.
Xie Zihan also refused to marry her, and from then on in the capital, she became a joke for everyone.
Lu Jinxuan looked at the queen with red eyes: "Aunt Queen, please make the decision for Xuan'er."
She couldn't be a joke, nor could she be pointed at every time she went out.
Now she seems to be standing on a single-plank bridge, isolated and helpless.
If she moves forward one step, she will become the future Crown Princess, with both status and position.
If you take a step back and insist on what you want, you will be laughed at and your reputation will be ruined.
The queen was a little flustered at this time, her mind was in a mess, but she still remained firm in her ideas.
On one side is the prince whom she raised since childhood, and on the other side is the niece whom she loved since childhood.
Although the queen was in a difficult situation, she did not soften her heart: "Your Majesty, Xuan'er cannot marry the prince."
"Why? Now that this has happened, you don't agree with their marriage. Do you have any other solutions?" the emperor asked angrily.
The emperor didn't expect that he agreed to the marriage, but the queen was unwilling.
Lu Jinxuan stared at the queen, her eyes changing from confusion to hatred.
She wanted to ask the Queen to let her persuade Xie Zihan, but what did she hear?
Her aunt, who had loved her since childhood, didn't care about her life or death and was determined to stop her from marrying Xie Zihan.
What would she do in the future? The queen really had never thought about her at all.
The queen lowered her head, stammered for a long time, and couldn't utter a word.
The emperor could no longer bear it: "Since you don't want to marry me, that's fine."
"How about the Queen make a decision for the Crown Prince?"
"Marrying Lu Jinxuan as the Crown Princess or abolishing the Crown Prince's position, which one does the Queen want to choose for the Crown Prince?"
The queen looked at the emperor in shock, and tears burst out like a dam breaking.
At this moment, there were only two words left in her mind: It's over...
Although Xie Zihan was dissatisfied, he still knelt there without saying a word.
Saying that he should choose is nothing more than forcing him to marry Lu Jinxuan.
But he couldn't lose his position as crown prince because of this.
The queen seemed to have lost her last bit of strength. She fell to the ground and looked ahead in despair.
Lu Jinxuan lowered her head and eyes, as if she didn't dare to say anything more, but the corners of her lips that were raised high betrayed her.
She will be the Crown Princess in the future, but for her now, it doesn’t matter who she marries.
As long as it's not the one in her heart, it doesn't matter who else it is.
As long as you don't stop her from seeking revenge on Shen Jingxuan.
Lu Jinxuan turned around and looked at Shen Jingxuan angrily.
It’s all her fault. It’s all because of her that things have turned out like this.
Since Shen Jingxuan wouldn't let her have an easy life, she would only wish to kill Shen Jingxuan to relieve the hatred in her heart for many years to come.
When the Emperor saw that the Empress and the others no longer refused, he ordered Eunuch Deng to draft an edict to grant the marriage.
When the moon was at its highest point, those who had attended the palace banquet were finally able to leave the palace.
Shen Jingxuan and a few others dragged their tired bodies and slowly walked out of the palace gate.
Jiang Shaoying complained: "It was just a marriage, but it was delayed for so long.
"The emperor's words are golden, so it will be fine as long as he asks. Why does he need the queen's consent?
Chen Yi glared at her: "You are so outspoken."
"Why are you so shameless? What I said was not wrong." Jiang Shaoying retorted.
Shen Jingxuan shook her head helplessly: "Yier is right, Yinger is also right."
"But Ying'er, look where we are now?"
After hearing what Shen Jingxuan said, Jiang Shaoying realized that if her complaint just now was heard by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences would be disastrous. She lowered her head guiltily and said nothing.
Chen Yi suddenly patted Jiang Shaoying on the back of her head: "See you tomorrow."
Jiang Shaoying was a little confused by the photo and turned around to look at Chen Yi's position angrily.
There was no trace of Chen Yi at this time. She had already gotten into the carriage.
"Pfft..." Shen Jingxuan looked at the dazed Jiang Shaoying and laughed unkindly.
Seeing Jiang Shaoying glaring at her, Shen Jingxuan forced herself to retract her smile: "Okay, we've left the palace, you should go back home."
Jiang Shaoying gently rubbed the back of his head: "Tomorrow I will pay you back tenfold."
"Ah Xuan, it's getting late, you should go home early."
Not long after the two said goodbye, Shen Jingxuan saw Xie Lingxiao waiting in the distance.
She quickened her pace and walked towards him.
Xie Lingxiao came towards them and pulled Shen Jingxuan into the carriage.
The carriage started moving slowly, Shen Jingxuan lifted the curtain and looked at the moonlit sky outside.
"Ah Xiao, do you think Xie Zihan will follow the imperial decree and marry Lu Jinxuan?"
Xie Lingxiao stared at Shen Jingxuan: "You don't want him to get married?"
He stared at Shen Jingxuan closely, as if Xie Lingxiao would pounce on her and punish her if she dared to say she didn't want to.
Shen Jingxuan smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? I can't wait for them to get married right away."
Only after getting married, Lu Jinxuan will enter the Prince's Mansion, and there will be more interesting things to come.
Xie Lingxiao teased: "What does Xuan'er think of us? When is the best time for us to get married?"
If Shen Jingxuan also wanted to get married earlier, it was not impossible for him to go to the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to select the nearest auspicious day.
"No rush, we just need to wait for the chosen day."
There is no need to rush. They have already been granted marriage, and getting married is only a matter of time.
Xie Lingxiao looked at Shen Jingxuan with some grievance.
How could he not be anxious? He wanted to marry Shen Jingxuan back home immediately, so as not to be remembered by those ignorant people.
"I'm in a hurry. I'll go to the Imperial Observatory tomorrow to ask for an auspicious date."
Hearing Xie Lingxiao's words, Shen Jingxuan shook her head helplessly: "It's up to you."
She didn't understand. She only needed to wait for news, but Xie Lingxiao was so impatient.
The carriage fell silent for a moment, and the only sounds were the breathing of the two people and the sound of the carriage's wheels.
Suddenly thinking of something, Shen Jingxuan froze in place.
She looked at Xie Lingxiao anxiously: "Ah Xiao, stop the carriage quickly."
Although it was late at night, how could such an interesting event be without her as an audience?
