C22 (1/2)
In the huge painting shop, only Jin Chupei and Sun Jinzi were left.
Mu Tan also came along with the servant. She knew how Sun Jinzi treated Jin Chupei, and stood at the entrance watching the wind.
”His Highness the Sixth Prince, my Sanniang is sick. I need to go back to take a look.”
Although Sun Jinzi had a lot of things she wanted to say, but after thinking about it for a while, she didn't know where to start.
Her footsteps had yet to move, but Jin Chupei had already blocked her path, and two ice-cold gazes landed on her Moon-Shushing Flowers.
”Why did you marry the First Prince?”
This was what Jin Chupei wanted to ask Sun Jinzi the moment he saw him, but Sun Jinning was there, so it was not convenient for him to speak. Now that there were only two people left, he had to ask Sun Jinzi clearly.
Seeing Jin Chupei being so angry, it showed that he himself held a great deal of weight in his heart, and in his heart, was both happy and sad.
He was overjoyed that Jin Chupei had him in his heart, sad that he would soon become a First Prince's Consort.
The emperor's wedding decree was like a bottomless gorge, separating them into two sides.
”I also don't know why the Emperor suddenly bestowed this marriage upon us. Maybe the First Prince said something in front of the Emperor?”
Jin Chupei's heart relaxed a little: ”What do you think?”
Jin Chupei was well aware of what the Emperor and First Prince meant. Right now, he only wanted to know if Sun Jinzi really wanted to marry Jin Chuao. No one could take her away from him as long as she said he didn't want to.
Sun Jinzi's heart was beating erratically. Of course she was unwilling, the only person she wanted to marry was the person in front of her.
How could she bear to miss this generation that had made a mistake on Jin Chupei, the prosperous husband in his previous life.
When Jin Chupei saw Sun Jinzi keep her head down and did not speak, he thought she was hesitating.
He had been in the army for many years, and although he was a calm and resolute man, he was as panicked and anxious as a child in this matter.
”Say something!” Do you really want to marry to the First Prince, or are you forced by the pressure of the Emperor? ”
Sun Jinzi slowly wanted to raise her head and tell Jin Chupei that he was the only one in his heart.
He heard someone say from outside, ”Do you really want to know the answer to this question? ”Let me answer that.”
The vermilion door was kicked open by a skinny figure.
Not long after Sun Jinning left the shop, Jin Chuao came over. He had his subordinates capture Mu Tan and take him to another place to listen to her conversation with Sun Jinzi while standing outside the door.
The last time Sun Mansion spread the news that Sun Jinzi and Sixth Prince had a secret relationship, it had caused a great disturbance, so Jin Chuao was naturally aware of this matter.
Jin Chuao was a suspicious person, he liked to be suspicious, all the people in the imperial court knew this.
He had always had his suspicions regarding Sun Jinzi and Jin Chupei, but in the past few days, Jin Chupei had been holing his doors and pondering. As for Sun Jinzi, who was recuperating from her injuries in the Sun Mansion, the two had never met.
”royal brother, I never thought that I would meet you here, it's really my fortune to meet you here.”
At this time, Jin Chuao happened to appear in the painting shop, causing Jin Chupei to believe in his own conjecture.
This was a trap that someone had deliberately set up. Him, Jin Chuao and Sun Jinzi were merely pawns that had been used by others.
The person who was able to do this was definitely not simple, Jin Chuao had been a big shot in the eyes of the emperor recently, and they had been at loggerheads for a long time, so if he wanted to fight Jin Chuao head on, he had to use Sun Jinzi as bait.
Jin Chuao's face was gloomy and cold, and was extremely displeased: It seems that Sixth royal brother does not wish to see this big brother of mine!
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said angrily: ”If I don't appear now, I wonder what you two will do? I thought the last time was a slander. ”
With a ”putong” sound, Sun Jinzi kneeled on the ground and said, ”First Prince, you must have misunderstood. Sixth Prince and I are not what you think.”
She was well aware that she definitely could not let Jin Chupei and the First Prince come into direct conflict because of her. Jin Chupei should have thought about it within the palace, and left without permission even without an imperial decree.
Jin Chuao's power within the imperial court was at its peak, and he was not someone that Jin Chupei could easily deal with.
”royal brother doesn't want to marry you.”
Jin Chupei reached out his hands to help Sun Jinzi, who was kneeling on the ground, but his hands were pushed away by Sun Jinzi. She could not help but feel infuriated in her heart, and his hands were trembling from anger.
”Sun Jinzi, speak out your heart in front of royal brother today.”
Jin Chuao stood at the peak and said coldly: ”Since Sixth royal brother wants to know your answer so much, Love Consort, why don't you tell him right now, so as to let him give up.”
Sun Jinzi's head was buried even deeper. She wished that there was a crack in the ground that she could crawl into. This way, she wouldn't have to make such a difficult choice.
It was not that she found it difficult to choose between Jin Chuao and herself, but rather, if she were to say that she did not want to marry Jin Chuao, the two of them would definitely have a fight today.
”If you are willing to marry to royal brother, I, Jin Chupei, will never see you again.”
These six words were like six daggers stabbed into her heart, causing Sun Jinzi to be unable to breathe in the pain.
”Don't tell me you don't want to marry this prince? If not for this prince, you would still be in the Sun Mansion's ancestral hall, and your life and death cannot be determined. ”
