Chapter 615: The wishes of the two must be taken into consideration
Xiao Jingyu retracted his arm, looked at Leng Rongyue's puzzled face, smiled helplessly, and said, "Yue'er... why don't you want to go with me?"
Leng Rongyue lowered her head slightly and smiled, "What are you talking about, Your Highness Prince Yu?
My daughter and His Royal Highness Prince Yu are going in different directions. We are not on the same path, so how can we travel together?"
Xiao Jingyu understood the meaning of Leng Rongyue's words, which was simply that the two of them were destined to part ways, so they should go their separate ways.
Xiao Jingyu understood, but pretended not to know, and said: "Yue'er is wrong.
It's just a path in the mountains.
We are together in the mountains;
On the same road;
We will return to the same temple soon.
No matter which way we go, our destination remains the same.
No?
So...we can go together.
If Yue'er wants to go back to the temple now, then... I will go back with Yue'er!"
Hearing Xiao Jingyu say this, Leng Rongyue felt helpless.
Leng Rongyue could also understand the meaning behind Xiao Jingyu's words.
According to Leng Rongyue's personality, it is better to say what she wants to say directly than to say something with hidden meanings.
Thinking of this, Leng Rongyue looked up at Xiao Jingyu...
"Your Highness Prince Yu..."
Leng Rongyue had just opened her mouth when she was unexpectedly interrupted by Xiao Jingyu.
"Yue'er, can you listen to me first?"
Looking at Xiao Jingyu's inquiring eyes, could Leng Rongyue say no?
"Your Highness Prince Yu, please speak!"
Seeing that Leng Rongyue was still willing to listen to him, Xiao Jingyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be good if Xiaoyue would listen to me.
If she is willing to listen to me, I can express my feelings clearly.
Otherwise Xiaoyue would arbitrarily cut off her future with him just because of groundless suspicion.
"Yue'er, you...you seem to have been deliberately keeping a distance from me in the past few days...
Are you thinking about something these days?
And now, has Yue'er come to a conclusion about something?"
Xiao Jingyu asked the guess in his mind.
After hearing this, Leng Rongyue lowered her eyes and remained silent.
After a slight hesitation, Leng Rongyue met Xiao Jingyu's gaze, nodded solemnly and replied: "Yes!"
"Just because of the death of Marquis Qinxing?"
Xiao Jingyu asked again.
"Yes!"
Leng Rongyue nodded again.
"Qinxing Marquis Leng Xian deserved his death!
Yue'er is avenging her mother.
It is truly a righteous act to kill one's own relatives for the sake of justice and bring the evildoer to justice.
This has no necessary connection with Yue'er's current decision."
Xiao Jingyu said.
A bitter smile appeared on Leng Rongyue's lips, "It was my daughter's mother who was murdered eight years ago;
The one who was executed on the execution ground yesterday... Even if I don't want to admit it, he is still my father.
It is a fact that the little girl caused her father to be executed in order to avenge her mother.
To my mother, the little girl fulfilled her filial duty;
I am extremely unfilial to my father.
Moreover, my daughter's father not only killed his wife and robbed her of her wealth, he also intended to deceive the emperor.
The emperor has stripped him of his title and official position because of this.
The Marquis Qinxing Mansion no longer exists!
The little girl's father is a criminal.
The little girl is the daughter of the guilty minister.
The emperor did not implicate my daughter for Leng Xian’s crime, and I am already grateful for his grace!
There should be no other extravagant expectations.
Besides…”
Leng Rongyue paused, and then continued, "Not long ago, the emperor wrote such an imperial edict, and it was done under the influence of alcohol.
Naturally, I did not consult His Royal Highness Prince Yu's wishes in advance;
And no one knows what the Holy Spirit will be like after he sobers up.
But, no matter what, it was the emperor who thought highly of my daughter;
I am grateful for the emperor's kindness.
It’s just… things are unpredictable.
When the emperor wrote that imperial edict, he could not have expected the current changes to happen.
That imperial edict... must be putting the emperor in a difficult position now!
No matter if I was a court lady favored by the Emperor before;
Or is she the daughter of a criminal?
It is good to say that my daughter is grateful for the emperor's grace and share his worries;
Or maybe it's just that my daughter knows the current situation...
I shouldn't have made things difficult for the Emperor because of my own affairs!"
"so what?"
Xiao Jingyu asked.
"so……"
Leng Rongyue glanced at Xiao Jingyu and said softly, "I guess that from today on, some court officials will mention this matter in their memorials.
The emperor was in a dilemma whether to approve the request or not.
My daughter planned to return to Beijing after worshipping Buddha, so she asked grandpa to submit a memorial during the morning court session, asking the emperor to revoke his order in public.
The emperor only needs to approve it.
This matter has been resolved smoothly!"
Xiao Jingyu felt bitter and astringent when he heard Leng Rongyue's words.
Xiao Jingyu felt sorry for Leng Rongyue because her mother died early and her father was a bad person.
Although she had a marriage contract granted by the Emperor himself, she still felt uneasy and had many thoughts in her mind.
At the same time, Xiao Jingyu also felt pity for himself.
Leng Rongyue considered so much and made what she thought was the most reasonable decision...
But... she never mentioned her feelings for Xiao Jingyu from beginning to end;
Without considering Xiao Jingyu's wishes.
She never even thought about whether she should ask herself, who was also a party to the engagement, about her wishes.
I have never thought of asking myself... whether I am willing to cancel this marriage and end this relationship!
