Chapter 183 Come Home with Me
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
When Shangguan Shu and Zhao Ying handed the divorce letter to Emperor Jianxi, Emperor Jianxi was drinking tea and spat it out.
Then ask, "Why do you want to divorce?"
Shangguan Shu looked at Zhao Ying, as if asking her to answer. Emperor Jianxi also looked at Zhao Ying.
"Cheng Qian, you speak."
Of course, the reasons used to fool the children could not fool Emperor Jianxi. Zhao Ying would rather die than let his friend die, so he directly put the blame on Shangguan Shu.
She looked around with an embarrassed look on her face, and Emperor Jianxi ordered the palace maids to leave.
Shangguan Shu glanced at Zhao Ying doubtfully.
Zhao Ying took a deep breath and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I want to divorce... I want to give Master Shangguan some dignity!"
Emperor Jianxi was surprised, "How dignified?"
Zhao Ying frowned and steeled his heart, saying, "Father, ever since I gave birth to Yue'er, he...he has lost his humanity!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar.
Shangguan Shu looked at Zhao Ying in disbelief.
Emperor Jianxi opened his mouth and uttered a sound after a long while, "This..."
Zhao Ying sighed, his tone full of regret and sorrow, "Father, it's not that I don't want to give the prince a chance, but I have searched all the famous doctors in Chu, and they all said that there is no cure. Otherwise, do you know why he was unwilling to divorce me last time? It was because he was afraid..."
"Your Majesty, it is not..." Shangguan Shu knelt down and interrupted loudly.
Zhao Ying drowned out his voice, "That's because he's afraid that his son will tell others about his hidden illness after the divorce!"
Shangguan Shu: ...
Emperor Jianxi: ...
Emperor Jianxi scratched his nose awkwardly and wanted to drink some tea to relieve himself, but the tea bowl was empty. In this situation, he didn't want to let the eunuchs in.
Emperor Jianxi was unwilling to hurt Shangguan Shu's self-esteem. He was also a man, and he understood...
Emperor Jianxi considered his words carefully and asked softly, "Runzhi, is there... this matter?"
Shangguan Shu tried his best to stay rational. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, no!"
Zhao Ying sneered, "Father, can he admit to such a shameful thing?"
Shangguan Shu: ...
He could no longer bear it, so he looked at Zhao Ying with a fake smile, "Ying'er, how about I prove to you that I can do it?!"
There was a threat in his tone...
Zhao Ying retorted, "You are only good at talking!"
The corners of Shangguan Shu's lips, which were pulled up tightly, also froze.
He took a deep breath and clenched his fists at his sides.
"If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can call the imperial physician to examine it!"
The man can take any blame except this one!
Emperor Jianxi looked at the two people on the ground suspiciously, but still called the imperial physician, "Call Imperial Physician Xing!"
Half a cup of tea later, Imperial Physician Xing came over.
Shangguan Shu stretched out his wrist for Imperial Physician Xing to examine, and threatened Zhao Ying in her ear, "I'll deal with you when I get back!"
Zhao Ying didn't care about the princess's manners and secretly rolled her eyes at him.
But she said coquettishly: "I just want to ruin your reputation, so that you won't go and flirt with other girls after the divorce!"
Shangguan Shu: ...
In an instant, his gloomy face looked better.
After Imperial Physician Xing finished his examination, he reported to Emperor Jianxi.
Emperor Jianxi leaned half of his body out of the desk and asked, "Is the Crown Prince in good health?"
Shangguan Shu smiled softly and leaned close to Zhao Ying's ear, "It seems that the princess's plan will fail..."
Zhao Ying glanced at him with a half-smile.
Then, I heard Imperial Physician Xing say: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has coldness in the lower part of his body, a weakened life gate, a loss of kidney yin, and an excess of internal fire. Judging from these symptoms, I'm afraid he won't have any more offspring..."
Shangguan Shu: ...
Emperor Jianxi: ...
Shangguan Shu clenched his fists, suppressed his anger, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Did you bribe the imperial physician?"
Zhao Ying sniffed, "Runlang, don't blame me. I was just afraid that you wouldn't want me after the divorce..."
Shangguan Shu closed his eyes and pursed his thin lips.
Emperor Jianxi told the imperial physician not to tell anyone and then asked him to leave.
He asked Shangguan Shu to go out and wait, leaving Zhao Ying alone.
It was nothing more than persuading her... The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had made great contributions to the Chu State, and Shangguan Shu was a capable minister who led troops and had great prestige in the army. How could they divorce because of some hidden physical illness? If it got out, wouldn't it make the royal family look bad to the Duke of Zhenguo?...
Moreover, Emperor Jianxi could see that Shangguan Shu was forced to come by her, and he didn't seem to want to divorce.
Zhao Ying only said one sentence, "Father, can you bear to let me live a widowed life until I die? If I find a lover, wouldn't it be even more unfair to the Duke of Zhenguo?"
Emperor Jianxi was speechless and took out the jade seal.
Under Zhao Ying's deep gaze, he covered it up.
Zhao Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
Emperor Jianxi gave her two divorce letters, waved his hand and let her go, and then began to worry about how to tell Shangguan Shifan about this. Could he tell him that your son is impotent, so my daughter doesn't want your son anymore...
Zhao Ying walked out of the Yangxin Palace with the divorce papers.
The surroundings suddenly became very quiet.
Shangguan Shu's heart sank when he looked at the divorce papers in her hand.
Suddenly realized that he and Zhao Ying had really divorced...
Despite being fully prepared, he still felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment.
Shangguan Shu frowned and stared at Zhao Ying as she walked towards him step by step.
Just like many years ago, when he was in the Duke's Mansion, he watched her in her wedding dress, walking towards him and marrying him.
Shangguan Shu felt as if his heart was being bitten by hundreds of insects. He gritted his teeth and managed to withstand the sudden severe pain.
He forced back the bitterness in his eyes and stared at Zhao Ying standing in front of him. At this moment, he really wanted to know what Zhao Ying was going to say to him.
Zhao Ying smiled faintly and hugged him gently.
Shangguan Shu's pupils trembled slightly.
"Runlang, when you figure it out, you must take me back..."
All of Shangguan Shu's rationality collapsed in an instant.
He didn't care if she was sincere or not, he didn't care if she hated him or not, he didn't care if he loved her or not, he just wanted to take her back...
How could he divorce Zhao Ying?
Shangguan Shu raised his arms and wanted to hug Zhao Ying tightly, but Zhao Ying suddenly stepped back and looked at him calmly.
Shangguan Shu said in panic: "Ying'er, I don't want to divorce anymore, I..."
Zhao Ying raised her finger to his lips to stop him from saying anything further.
"Runlang, if you go back on your words like this, where will your beloved Huai'an be?"
"She even killed herself for you!"
Shangguan Shu shook his head and grabbed her shoulders, "I don't care!"
He lowered his head in pain, his tone was a little fierce, "Don't force me, okay? Come home with me and pretend that this never happened..." He looked at her eagerly.
Zhao Ying said in embarrassment: "But the imperial seal has been sealed, are you trying to deceive the emperor?"
"It doesn't matter... Your Majesty, I will take the punishment..."
Zhao Ying suddenly smiled, looked at him playfully, raised her hand to tidy up his hair, "Look at you, you're so anxious already."
"I know you're afraid that I'll lie to you and that I won't come back."
"I was too fussy before. I forced you to marry me, causing you and Huai'an to suffer for many years. You wanted to rebel for Huai'an... If you think about it carefully, it's reasonable. I shouldn't hate you."
