Chapter 208 Another Soul Master, The Abandoned Daughter
"Blessed?" Zhu Zhuqing was a little puzzled, not knowing what the eunuch meant.

"You will know when you get to the palace." The eunuch smiled and did not answer Zhu Zhuqing's question. Instead, he turned to look at the guards and continued: "Everyone, why don't you have any eyesight? Why don't you go quickly? Bring the sedan in."

"No need, I have feet and can walk on my own. Brother Yi, let's go."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't like the tone of the eunuch's speech very much, so he directly closed the door of his own room, and walked out of the family gate with Jun Yi. into the palace.

Without talking all the way, Jun Yi followed Zhu Zhuqing to the Xingluo Palace. Along the way, he had a premonition that this event of retiring the engagement might not be that simple. After all, this time was different. However, Xingluo is different from Tiandou, they like to use tough methods in dealing with people and things, he is afraid that Zhu Zhuqing will encounter accidents, so he chooses to go to Xingluo Palace with Zhu Zhuqing.

The carriage arrived at the Tiandou Palace without any hindrance. Jun Yi and Zhu Zhuqing also got off the carriage. The Xingluo Palace was heavily guarded. Guards wearing armor and holding weapons could be seen patrolling everywhere. , although it is only the outer area of ​​the palace, it still gives people a very depressing feeling.

When Jun Yi and Zhu Zhuqing had just set foot on the stairs, they were stopped by two guards, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

At this moment, the eunuch from before stepped forward and said: "This is the second young lady of the Zhu family. His Majesty specially summoned him into the palace today, and the person next to her is her friend."

"In the palace, masks are not allowed, take them off." The guard said to Jun Yi.

"Brother Yi, you..." Zhu Zhuqing panicked for a moment, a little afraid that Jun Yi's identity would be exposed.

"Okay, pick it up now,"

I saw Jun Yi slowly took off the mask, revealing a face that was so ordinary that it couldn't be found in the crowd. The guard frowned slightly after seeing it. Such a face The mediocre, unremarkable faces would be easily overlooked if they didn't wear a mask, but since they were friends of Miss Zhu's second lady and the father-in-law was here, they didn't question him too much.

"Please put away the mask now. In the palace, you must show your true appearance." The guard urged.

"En." Jun Yi nodded slowly, and retracted the mask into the system space.

On the other hand, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Jun Yi's face with a hint of shock, but it was quickly covered up by her. The technique of disguise is not particularly rare in Douluo Dalu, but she felt very puzzled , Why does Jun Yi still wear a mask when he knows how to disguise himself?Doesn't this mean it's superfluous?

"Come on, Second Miss, come this way with our house. Your Majesty and Grand Duke You Ming are waiting for you in the imperial study." After finishing speaking, the chief eunuch stepped forward to lead the way for Jun Yi.

Soon, the eunuch led the two of them to the imperial study. After the announcement, Zhu Zhuqing walked into the imperial study, while Jun Yi was arranged to wait outside.

"You go, if there is anything, I will show up as soon as possible." Jun Yi urged.

"Ah."

Zhu Zhuqing followed the eunuch into the imperial study. She found that there were only four people in the huge imperial study. Her father and mother were sitting on the guest seats on the left, drinking tea, and there was a dragon sitting on the dragon chair in the middle. There is a middle-aged man with blond hair and a Chinese character. He is the current leader of the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Emperor Dai Lingtian. Behind him stands an old man wearing a black robe. The old man always lowers his head, as if There is no general at all. "Greetings to Your Majesty." Zhu Zhuqing saluted Emperor Xingluo.

The middle-aged man with the blond Chinese character face smiled slightly, and said: "You are Zhuqing, it was a long time ago when I last saw you, and now you have grown into a tall and graceful girl."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."

After the extremely simple and perfunctory reminiscence, Emperor Xingluo said: "Zhuqing, I won't make so many detours anymore, I'll just cut to the chase here. I actually agree with you if you want to withdraw from this marriage. Mubai, he is indeed not good enough, even a little cowardly, for the sake of his own life, he escaped from the Star Luo Empire alone, I am also very disappointed in him."

"Then please, Your Majesty, cancel the engagement." Zhu Zhuqing saluted.

Emperor Xingluo smiled slightly and said: "Of course, I have already discussed it with your parents. Your marriage to Dai Mubai will be canceled today."

There was a trace of joy on Zhu Zhuqing's face, she turned to look at her mother, but found that she was not very happy, but worried, which made Zhu Zhuqing feel something was wrong.

But Emperor Xingluo asked: "Zhuqing, I heard your parents said that during the time you went out, your soul power has improved a lot, and now your strength has reached the soul sect, right?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

"Yeah, very good, very good. Then I will tell you directly here, I have decided to retire you and Mubai's soul master, and betroth you to Weiss, how about it?"

Emperor Xingluo's words made Zhu Zhuqing's face become extremely solemn. She was a little confused just now, why her mother was not happy, it turned out to be this reason.

"Sorry Your Majesty, I don't have this wish." Zhu Zhuqing politely declined.

Emperor Xingluo didn't pay attention to Zhu Zhuqing's words, but said slowly: "Your father has already agreed, and this matter is settled today."

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhuqing turned to look at his father, and found that he was tasting the tea without saying a word, as if he had accepted the ending.

Seeing her father's behavior, Zhu Zhuqing's heart felt like a knife was being cut. She took a deep breath and continued: "Your Majesty, I do not agree with this marriage. I have no relationship with His Royal Highness, let alone marry him. Please His Majesty knows that."

Hearing this, her father snorted coldly, and said: "Emotions? What is the use of this thing? Parents' orders, matchmaker's words, how can I decide the marriage of my Nether Zhu family? Your Majesty has already said, you and The eldest prince's marriage is settled today, and you will stay in this palace in the future, and you don't need to go back to the Wuhun Academy."

Zhu Zhuqing's father's words resounded in Zhu Zhuqing's ears like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, making her whole head buzz. She never expected that the matter would evolve to such a point. She never thought that her father would actually be here At the critical moment, choosing to obey the marriage contract, wouldn't that mean pushing her into another abyss?She couldn't figure out why?She is her father's biological daughter!Isn't he important to him at all?
