zChapter 1050 - The Relationship Between Us, Is Severed (1/2)
With the Emperor and the other two leaving, everyone started to discuss amongst themselves. The discussion mainly came from the ministers from the Eighth Prince’s faction. They felt anxious, not knowing what the illness which suddenly struck the Eighth Prince was, why was it that serious? That sudden? No one was prepared at all!
Someone started to guess: “Could it be that he was really subdued by the first daughter of the Right Prime Minister? I feel that what Princess Yu said was reasonable! The Emperor just suggested granting a marriage and His Highness the Eighth Prince suddenly fell sick. Even if it is a coincidence, it is too much of a coincidence.”
“That makes sense, if that woman really clashes with her husband, then we definitely cannot let the Eighth Prince get close to her.”
“But what if it was not a clash with her?”
“There is no if! Our responsibility is to make sure that the Eighth Prince can safely inherit the throne, before that, we have to distance ourselves from everything which is unlucky. Regardless of whether the daughter of the Right Prime Minister clashes with her husband or not, we cannot allow her to have any interaction with the Eighth Prince!”Read more new novels on listnovel.com
This person’s words were acknowledged by the people in the Eighth Prince’s faction. When these people were talking, they even threw looks over to Feng Tianyu. Their gazes were venomous and even contained strong grudges.
But Feng Tianyu was happy! She was so happy that she hated that she could not leave the palace immediately to light firecrackers. Clashing with her husband or what not, she did not care about it at all, if she really had such an ability, she could choose to commit herself to the cause for the sake of causing that Old Eighth to die, then her life would be worth it. With the Eighth Prince’s faction giving her this label, she did not have to worry about getting married off, she was only worried that since her father offended the Emperor today, she did not know what methods the Emperor would use to regain the loss of his face.
Her worry was also the worry of the Ninth Prince’s faction. The Left Prime Minister Lu Song spoke to Feng Qing softly: “We are unable to read the Emperor now, the privilege to speak is also not at our side, Prime Minister Feng should exercise caution.”
Feng Qing hmphed once and said: “Since when were we able to completely read the Emperor? Forget it, we will take it one step at a time, either way, This Minister has done things with a clear conscience, even if I die in this political conspiracy, I will have no regrets!”
With the Right Prime Minister saying this much, many of them begin to feel emotional and sigh. This political conspiracy, who can last until the end? Everything, was a mystery.
Feng Yuheng walked to the middle of the main hall and helped Xiangrong up. Xiangrong staggered a few times when standing up. Xuan Tianyi standing at the side wanted to support her but Xiangrong avoided him. She said: “Whether it is the Eighth Prince, or you, in my heart, neither of you are who I wish to marry . I thank you for protecting me, but if there is a next time, please do not use your own position to take this risk anymore. Perhaps with you using your position as a prince to obtain my freedom, I might marry you out of gratitude, but I have to tell you, that me will never be happy. You will no longer see my smile and you will never obtain my true heart.”
Xuan Tianyi was stunned and the hand which wanted to support Xiangrong was still suspended in the air, yet he no longer had the courage to hold onto her. He suddenly felt a little tired, and suddenly did not understand what he had been doing during the past few years. A proper man like him learning embroidery and this prince who no one expected him to achieve anything just had to end up liking a daughter of a concubine. He thought that after making an effort and showing his sincerest feelings, she would become his woman, but he was wrong. Women were not their family’s accessories and were not sacrifices for the royalty. They had their own thoughts and their own ideals. When a woman hardened their heart to love who they wanted to love, all his effort would be wasted, he could not enter her heart at all. And if he could not obtain her heart, what was the point of having the person?
“Forget it.” Xuan Tianyi sighed softly, telling Xiangrong: “Do what you want to do, and fight to get the person you love! The relationship between us, from now on, is severed.” After saying this, he left, his sleeves flapping as he moved.
Watching that figure, Xiangrong’s nose ached a little, and a pain of being unable to cry was faintly hidden in her heart, she asked Feng Yuheng: “Second sister, was I being too cruel? He is actually very good, but the better he is, the more I cannot bear to have me, who doesn’t love him, stay at this side. Because to him, that is too unfair. He deserves having a truly good woman love him sincerely. My heart cannot split into two, so in these few days, I…… am sorry for him.”
Feng Yuheng was helpless, though she pitied Xuan Tianyi, and had hopes for Xiangrong getting together with Xuan Tianyi, she had to admit that Xiangrong was correct in doing this. Women should not look for perfection because they feel aggrieved and marry whoever treats them well. It was fine if they had no one else in their hearts, but once their hearts already have someone else, it would harm the person who was good to them. Just like what Xiangrong said, it was too unfair to that person.
She patted Xiangrong’s arm, reassuring her softly: “Don’t think too much about it, you were correct in doing this. Regardless of what you choose, Second sister will be on your side.” As she looked up, she happened to see Xuan Tianming and Xuan Tianhua walk over, thus she told Xiangrong: “His Highness the Seventh Prince is here.”
Xiangrong raised her head and took one look at Xuan Tianhua, feeling a little reassured. When the Emperor granted the marriage, in the nick of time, Xuan Tianhua thought of the best idea to resolve her trouble and because so many ministers put pressure on the Emperor, she was able to avoid being harmed. She was deeply grateful to these people but was also a little disappointed. Though Xuan Tianyi rushed out immediately to kneel and ask for her marriage and gave her the position as the first wife of the Fourth Prince, this method was a little aggressive and incited antagonistic feelings in the Emperor. But Xiangrong thought, if the Seventh Prince also used this method to get her out of trouble, even if this did not succeed, even if she was still forced to marry the Eighth Prince in the end, she would feel happy, right?
Unfortunately, Xuan Tianhua was not Xuan Tianyi. Though he was the younger brother, Xuan Tianhua was more grounded and was more thorough when thinking about matters. What he did had to succeed and no risk would be taken.
Xiangrong’s emotions were complicated and even if Xuan Tianhua was already standing in front of her, she was still absorbed in her own thoughts.
