C401 Ah Xuan Asked for a Marriage(1)

Lu Cheng and the other palace maids and eunuchs who were serving by the side were so scared that they fell to their knees and said in a trembling voice, "Your majesty, please calm down!"

On the other hand, Dongfang Xuan faced the furious Emperor Wenjing and his expression slightly changed. He kneeled straight and his eyes showed no fear and determination.

In a moment, Emperor Wenjing had already suppressed his raging anger. His cold eyes stared straight at Dongfang Xuan. He spat out two words as cold as iron.

"Get out!"

The palace staff beside him did not understand, but how could Lu Cheng not understand?

He hurriedly stood up and gave the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground a look.

In an instant, only Emperor Wenjing and Dongfang Xuan were left in the Imperial Reading Room.

The deathly silent air carried the pressure of an emperor that spread out in the room. Emperor Wenjing's expression was unfathomable, and his eyes were gloomy as he stared at his son who was kneeling on the floor.

Dongfang Xuan's eyes were clear and calm, and it carried a sense of the elegance and free feeling he had back in the days when he was in the pugilistic world.

Looking at Dongfang Xuan like this, an indescribable complex feeling suddenly arose in Emperor Wenjing's heart.

When he, Royal Mother, died under Third Brother's sword, this was the first time his son, who had always been carefree and carefree, revealed such a strange and cold side. His eyes were filled with deep-rooted hatred and loneliness.

Fortunately, although he had hatred in his heart, he had never forgotten the responsibility of being the son of the royal family. During the war at the border, he let go of his hatred. Protecting the country and protecting the country made him very happy.

He had always been at ease and admired this son. There was a ravine in his chest but he did not reveal it. He had always seen things more clearly than others. So, he also liked him a little.

That was why he planned to let him marry Soong Xiaoyou. It could be considered as giving him some compensation.

But he did not expect that he actually wanted to marry Su Qingyi as the official consort!

If Su Qingyi was alive, it was not impossible for him to agree to the marriage. But the key was that Su Qingyi was already dead. If he gave the decree, wouldn't it make everyone laugh at him?

More importantly, he wanted to marry a dead man as his wife! What would the servants think of him? How would they mock him in secret?

When Emperor Wenjing thought of this, the disagreement in his heart became firmer and firmer.

"Fourth Brother, stop messing around! If Su Qingyi is alive, Zhen can also bestow a marriage for you all. But now that Su Qingyi is dead, could it be that you want everyone in the world to laugh at you in the dark and mock the Imperial Family?"

Emperor Wenjing eased his tone and patiently said to Dongfang Xuan.

When Dongfang Xuan heard this, the expression in his eyes became more and more determined. He faced Emperor Wenjing's gaze without fear and said, "Royal Father, she died for saving my son. This is her only wish. No matter what, I must fulfill it for her!"

Seeing Dongfang Xuan being so stubborn, Emperor Wenjing's suppressed anger also increased a little. His tone was cold, and his eyes were full of gloominess.

"Su Qingyi is such a heroine that does not yield to her. Zhen will naturally chase after her. But there is no need for you to use your marriage to compensate her. Alright, don't mention this matter anymore. Go on!"

Dongfang Xuan saw Emperor Wenjing's determined expression and the corners of his mouth curled up. It was hard to say whether he was mocking or mocking him.

His brows relaxed, and his expression was calm. However, his words were like a sudden clap of thunder, and Emperor Wenjing opened his eyes wide.

"Royal Father, this son is willing to leave the imperial family. This way, the people of the world won't laugh at me anymore!"

"What did you say?" Emperor Wenjing asked sternly.

There was a relaxed smile on Dongfang Xuan's handsome face, as if he had taken off all his burdens. He bent his body straight. After a muffled sound, his white forehead turned red.

"I am willing to leave the royal family and give up my position as the prince. From now on, I will travel the martial world and become an ordinary civilian!"

There was nothing left to throw away. Emperor Wenjing was so angry that his face turned green. He gritted his teeth and stared at his son, who looked calm and useless.

"You actually betrayed your ancestors and your family for a dead man. You abandoned your responsibility and left the royal family. All of you are really good. Since ancient times, you are the most ruthless imperial family. But I didn't expect that my Linfeng Imperial Family is full of infatuation! "

How many ridiculous things had a Dongfang Jin done for a woman that did not match his status? He did not expect that there was actually another Dongfang Xuan!

The word "dead" stung Dongfang Xuan's heart. His peaceful and leisure life had been completely broken, and he revealed a trace of hatred and pain. His eyes were scarlet red as he stared at Emperor Wenjing, and his voice was hoarse, yet it carried endless bitterness.

"Royal Father, she suffered a lot for me when she was alive, and she died because of me. She is my wife, and I will never allow you to insult her like this.

Since you were young, you only have eyes for Third Brother. At that time, Royal Mother told me that you also love me. But the prerequisite was that I did not fight for it. That was why I indulged in the Jianghu. I did not participate in the competition between the royal family and Third Brother. I just hoped that you would like me too.

But that night, Royal Mother died under Third Brother's sword. Only then did I know that I was wrong. Because you have never treated us as your sons, so how could you share your love with us? You have high hopes for Third Brother, and you have raised him as an emperor. You want him to expand his territory and unify the world. Therefore, I hope that he will cut off all relationships and have no weaknesses.

But have you ever thought about whether what you want is what Third Brother and we want? Liu is dead, and so is Big Brother. You coldly look at your son killing each other. Wouldn't Third Brother feel pain when his hands and feet were crippled? I'm tired. After more than a year of the baptism of the flames of war... I really don't want to struggle and live under such schemes anymore. My love and hate have sunk for more than ten years. In the end, I lost Royal Mother, and I also lost the person I loved. "

These words were calm and oppressive, but they spoke of the struggle of love and hate that had lasted for more than ten years, as well as the tiredness that had ultimately resulted in injuries all over his body.

After Emperor Wenjing finished listening, his expression became silent. The fury in his eyes just now had all turned into sadness.

He closed his eyes and concealed the obscure and complicated feelings that only he himself understood in his eyes, and he sat quietly on top of it like a statue.

After a long time, he opened his eyes. The majesty in his eyes was fully revealed. It was filled with endless gloominess and the unique nobility of an emperor.

"You can go down!"

The short four words were without waves and without waves, but it seemed to have exhausted all of his strength.

After Dongfang Xuan said those words, his expression was also filled with love and hate. He knelt on the ground without saying a word, and his entire person was incomparably relaxed and safe.

After so many years, he had finally said all the things that he had been suppressing in his heart.

He knew that he wasn't just a father, he was also an emperor that couldn't be provoked. Dongfang Xuan was ready to receive any punishment. When he heard Emperor Wenjing say to let him go, he was startled at first, then bowed and left.
