Chapter 358: A Slap from Rou Guijun
Ever since the empress issued the imperial decree for marriage, scenes of crying, making a fuss and threatening to hang oneself had been staged every day in Lecheng Palace.
They either commit suicide or go on a hunger strike to express their resistance.
Unfortunately, no matter how Ji Lening made a fuss, the empress just ignored him and ignored him completely.
"Snapped!--"
"roll!"
"Get out!"
Inside the hall, there was the sound of things breaking, mixed with Ji Lening's angry roar.
As Su Yurou walked in, a vase was thrown at her.
"Take care, sir!"
The people behind him were so scared that they quickly pulled Rou Guijun aside.
"Snapped!"
The vase fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Su Yurou staggered and almost fell. She caught a glimpse of the fragments on the ground and was still in shock. Her face turned pale and ugly.
"Your Excellency has arrived!——"
When I walked into the hall, I saw the floor was in a mess and the palace servants were kneeling on the ground.
"Greetings, sir! ..."
Rou Guijun said with a sullen face: "All of you go down."
The palace servants responded tremblingly: "Yes!——"
Rou Guijun walked into the inner room. Ji Lening, who was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, thought that it was another palace servant who came to persuade him, so she was so angry that she picked up the jewelry box on the table and smashed it.
"Who asked you to come in? Get out now!"
This time Su Yurou was prepared and dodged the object in time, with an unsightly look on her face.
Mu Qing, the personal attendant beside him, spoke in a gentle voice: "Sixth Prince, the noble king is here to see you."
Hearing this, Ji Lening suddenly turned around and saw his father standing behind him.
"Father?"
Feeling aggrieved and crying loudly with red eyes, Ji Lening rushed over, grabbed Rou Guijun's sleeves tightly, and begged.
"Father, please save me. I don't want to marry into another country. I don't want it."
Su Yurou looked at Ji Lening, and thinking of the scandal at the banquet that day, she became furious and slapped Ji Lening in the face.
"Snapped!--"
Ji Lening thought that his father would comfort him gently and find a way to help him, but he didn't expect that he would raise his hand and slap him. The loud slap hit Ji Lening's face and knocked his face off.
Ji Lening covered her face which was hurt by the beating, and couldn't believe it: "Father?"
Rou Guijun glared at Ji Lening with an unpleasant expression, and angrily scolded him.
"What did I tell you before? I told you to keep a low profile and not to show off. You can do whatever you want after the Third Prince gets married."
"What about you? What did you promise me at that time?!"
"Now that you have caused such a scandal, your shameless proposal for marriage was rejected, and your engagement was broken off. Your reputation is ruined. You have brought shame upon me!"
Ji Lening cried bitterly, kneeling on the ground, pulling at Rou Guijun's skirt and crying.
"Father, I was wrong. I know I was wrong."
"Please forgive me. I will listen to you and never mess around again."
Ji Lening regretted it. She cried and made a fuss these days.
The Queen Mother ignored him and even sent people to put him under house arrest for fear that he would run away.
He knew that he had done something wrong. If he had not been so self-righteous and wanted to be in the spotlight, he would not have been favored by Ashina.
If Ashina had not liked him, he would not have had to marry.
The one who was to be married was clearly Ji Ruxue, so why did it become him?
He was unwilling to accept this. He was very unwilling to accept this.
"Father, please save me. I don't want to marry."
"You have always loved Ning'er the most. Can you bear to see Ning'er marry far away and never see her again?"
Ji Lening begged desperately, thinking that her father would be soft-hearted as before, but he wasn't.
His father's cold voice seemed to sentence him to death: "You have brought this upon yourself. I can't help you. You... just take care of yourself."
Having said that, Rou Guijun was about to turn around and leave.
Ji Lening panicked: "No!"
"Father, please don't leave!"
"I was wrong, I was really wrong, please don't leave me..."
Ji Lening rushed over to pull Rou Guijun, but failed to keep him.
"Father!..."
Ji Lening's desperate cry came from outside the palace. Rou Guijun paused slightly, but still walked away without looking back.
