C193 The Current World the next Life

When the Emperor heard Sima Ling's words, he immediately said, "What you have said is true!"

"Emperor, you must not!" Hsiang Xuanfei also stood out.

"Could it be that the Right Prime Minister wants to ignore the laws of the country?" Sima Ling immediately pressed on.

"The Right Prime Minister, why not?" ___ asked. The Emperor asked Hsiang Xuanfei.

"Emperor, the matter of Duan Shuang has already caused a huge commotion in the capital. Many of the people in the capital have doubts about the Imperial Court because of the hasty decision. This time, Princess Renxi represented the people and struck the 'Dragon Tremor Drum'. Wasn't she giving the Imperial Court a chance to explain to the world that there was no injustice at all? Princess Renxi's actions could be considered a great contribution to the stability of the court. " Hsiang Xuanfei was powerless to do anything about Duan Shuang, but he had to think of a way to protect Jiegeng, his benefactor.

However, Jiegeng did not feel grateful towards Hsiang Xuanfei's words. Instead, she rolled her eyes at him.

"Humph! According to what the Right Minister said, could it be that the Emperor still needs to reward?" Sima Ling said disdainfully.

"Sir Sima, I did not mean that. Why do you need to rush back with every sentence?" Hsiang Xuanfei scoffed, "This lowly subject believes that a small punishment and a serious warning is enough to show the magnanimity of the Imperial Court. It is not the custom of Great Yan to be calculative and seek revenge for the smallest grievance!"

"You!" Sima Ling immediately pointed at Hsiang Xuanfei. Wasn't this mocking him in the dark?

The Emperor nodded and seemed to agree with Hsiang Xuanfei's view. "What Minister Xiang says is true."

"Emperor please reconsider!" Sima Ling immediately said.

Hsiang Xuanfei actually let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

The Emperor waved his hand at Sima Ling, indicating for him to stop here.

"Emperor, Jiegeng has another matter to report!" Jiegeng suddenly knelt down and gave a big bow to the Emperor.

"What else do you have?" This time, the Emperor was indeed unhappy. Wouldn't this be asking for an inch more?

"Since the Emperor believes that Zhen'an King Duan Shuang has committed a serious crime of treason, as his wife, I should be guilty as well!"

Wife? When did Zhen'an King and Princess Renxi get married? This question appeared in everyone's mind.

"Do not speak nonsense!" At this moment, the Emperor realized that Jiegeng in front of him, compared to Duan Shuang, the two people's ability to stir up trouble could be said to be on par with each other.

"Zhen is not muddle-headed to such an extent!"

Jiegeng immediately took out a bundle that she had been carrying on her earlier and slowly opened the cloth outside. A bright yellow Imperial Decree immediately appeared in front of her.

Jiegeng raised the Imperial Decree high up, "Here is the Imperial Decree that the Emperor gave to the marriage that day. Ministry of Revenue also has corresponding records. Although the two of us did not go forward to bow, but we are a proper husband and wife!"

The eunuch that the Emperor carried with him immediately presented the Imperial Decree in Jiegeng's hands.

The Emperor hurriedly opened the Imperial Decree. It was indeed the Imperial Decree that he gave Duan Shuang that day.

"Since I am unable to wash away my grievances for him, I will be willing to live and die with him. I only hope that the Emperor will not implicate the Bai's family because of the contribution the Bai family has made for the Great Yan." Jiegeng bowed her head once more.

The Emperor closed the Imperial Decree and the way he looked at Jiegeng also changed.

The Imperial Family Court.

Duan Shuang sat in the middle of the cell and closed his eyes to rest. It was as if he was not in a dark and boundless cell but a wonderful place that could let people rest.

Suddenly, the door that had been silent for several days suddenly opened. The sunlight that shone into the cell suddenly stung Duan Shuang's eyes. After he got used to it, Duan Shuang looked at the open door of the prison. He found a familiar figure.

"Jiegeng, how can you? " Duan Shuang watched Jiegeng walk step by step into the cell next door.

Duan Shuang immediately jumped up from the bed and walked to the place that was only one square away from Jiegeng, "Why did you get caught in here too?"

Jiegeng stared at the familiar face that she had not seen for many days, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Great, I finally see you."

Jiegeng held Duan Shuang's hand tightly, as if time had stopped at this moment.

"Why are you so stupid?" Duan Shuang looked at Jiegeng with heartache. "Humans have always lived to survive. Who would want to die like you?"

"You should be satisfied." Jiegeng looked at Duan Shuang and her heart calmed down a lot. Duan Shuang's look swept across Jiegeng's panic these few days. She felt that... As long as she could stay by Duan Shuang's side, the sky would collapse. She wouldn't be afraid, let alone a mere life.

"Apart from me, where else can I find someone as good as you?" Jiegeng actually revealed a smile.

"I really should not have given those things to you!" Duan Shuang was regretting on his own. Suddenly, Duan Shuang stood up and started the first time he had clamored in the Imperial Family Court for the first time in many days. " Someone come! I want to see the Emperor! "As he angrily shouted, he also fiercely hit the iron fence.

Very quickly, Duan Shuang's hands were already pitch black.

" Brother Qu, there are not many days left for us to be able to work hand in hand. Do you really want to waste it like this? " Jiegeng was unable to go to Duan Shuang's side to stop him, so she could only ask him sorrowfully from the side.

In an instant, Duan Shuang stopped moving, and his body began to tremble.

"Brother Yun, what happened to you?"

"It's all my fault!" Duan Shuang fell to the ground dejectedly.

Jiegeng saw Duan Shuang's dejection and felt pain in her heart.

"Silly brother, you always say I'm stupid. Now it seems that the most stupid one is you!" Although Jiegeng was smiling, her tears kept flowing down.

"Now, you and I have announced to the world that you are my husband. I am your wife. You gave me my home, so I will accompany you on the road to hell. Isn't it the best thing in the world for a pure relationship to be able to live and die together?"

" Jiegeng... "Duan Shuang walked forward and held Jiegeng's hands tightly.

"Brother Sheng, look at you. Your hands are already injured like this." Jiegeng gently placed her lips on the dark green fishskin of Duan Shuang's hands, "I will feel sorry for you."

Duan Shuang had never known what a man's tear was, but now, he also did not know that his eyes were red.

Jiegeng saw this and laughed, "A man is a man, but he is still like a little girl. Are you ashamed?"

No matter how Jiegeng teased him next, Duan Shuang did not reply, only his gaze that was filled with deep affection did not change.

"Brother Sheng, are you planning to keep looking at me like this? I still have a lot of things that I haven't told you!" Jiegeng pouted.

"Go ahead, I'll listen." Duan Shuang finally spoke warmly. He unconsciously increased the strength of his grip on Jiegeng's hands.

"It hurts!" Jiegeng said coquettishly.

"Even if it hurts, you have to take it!" Duan Shuang suddenly said domineeringly, "This is a punishment for you to do whatever you want."

"Then I will suffer a huge loss!" Jiegeng puckered her lips. "Shouldn't you be obedient and caring to me now?"

"Today's relationship will be repaid in the next life. Then remember to come to me in the next life to demand it."

Jiegeng was serious and smiled, "Okay!"
