Night Demon

Chapter 48 Cancellation of Engagement
Shengyi, the crown prince of the Beichen Empire, is 17 years old. Since childhood, she has been very talented in fighting spirit and light magic. She is a rare genius in both magic and martial arts in the mainland. The object of admiration in the girl's heart, but although he looks gentle and seems to be very close, he always feels a little distance to others every time.

Gong Shengyi is an extremely perfect man, and he never tolerates any flaws in his life. The marriage contract with Zi Yueli was the only failure in his life. If it weren't for his mother's firm attitude, this marriage contract would have been ruined when he was ten years old. He came to cancel the meeting. A few days ago, after he found the love of his life, he resolutely disregarded his mother's objection and came to annul the engagement.

"You... what did you say?" Zi Qinghan's expression froze instantly, Second Princess?Did he forget something?
The ministers in the hall heard that Gong Shengyi came to cancel the engagement, and even mentioned the taboo title of second princess in front of the emperor. This... at this moment, they couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Emperor Dongwu, this is an engagement token left by the late empress of your country to my mother. Please take it back. I begged you not to blame me for my abrupt behavior today." Gong Shengyi took out the same item from the interspatial ring. The thing was a piece of red warm jade pendant, which was handed over to a young eunuch and presented to Zi Qinghan.

The moment Zi Qinghan saw the jade pendant, he suddenly felt his body shake, as if struck by lightning, he stood there in a daze, holding his heart tightly, and stretched out his hand to take the jade pendant from the little eunuch's hand.

This is Laner's jade pendant.

14 years ago, after Lan Er passed away due to dystocia, he was so distraught that he stretched out his hand to strangle Lan Er's murderer, the innocent baby.

A little court lady quickly snatched the baby from him and ran away. He angrily killed all the palace maids, eunuchs and guards who stopped him from chasing him. Afterwards, he was drunk every day and wanted to follow Lan Er several times. He was discovered and stopped, but the world without Lan'er made him unlovable. In the end, it was the mother's slap that woke him up. He was not only Lan'er's husband, but also the emperor of the Dongwu Empire. The royal family needed him, the people of the Tobu Empire needed him, and he couldn't leave them without responsibility.

Since then, no one in the royal family dared to mention Lan'er in front of him, even the daughter Lan'er gave birth to desperately did not dare to let her appear in front of him or mention her. Will he forget that there is still a daughter between him and Lan'er.

He, damn it, time has changed, until now, he didn't realize how damned he was.

Zi Qinghan felt pain in his heart, he remembered that when Lan'er was five months pregnant, he went to Beichen Palace with her to play, because the queen of the Beichen Empire was Lan'er's good friend, at that time, Gong Sheng Yi is only two years old, very cute, maybe she is about to become a mother, so Lan'er likes Gong Shengyi very much, and then they proposed to each other that if Lan'er gave birth to a daughter, then they would be in-laws in the future The engagement token was exchanged, and the marriage contract was made for the child.

Holding Nuanyu in his hand, Zi Qinghan's eyes are gentle, there still seems to be Lan'er's breath on it, Nuanyu is still there, Yiren has gone, so many years, some things, he has put it deep in his heart , I will never be as impulsive as I was back then.

Gong Shengyi saw that the emperor was holding the jade pendant and did not say a word, he was in a daze, his calm and composed expression also showed a hint of eagerness, this time he begged his mother to agree to the divorce after a long time, for Tobu's Second princess, he also knew that he was wrong about what happened this time, but he didn't want to marry a woman who he didn't understand, didn't like, or even met, and who was notorious all over the world, not to mention his investigation, this woman was not only a waste, Also weak.He hated this kind of woman the most, not to mention, a few days ago, he had already found the love of his life, his Yufeng. As for the second princess, he would never marry back.

"Your Majesty, I know that I did something wrong. If the second princess of your country has any requirements, you can ask me. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse." As long as the other party agrees to cancel the engagement, the proposed The request is not too much, he can promise anything.

"No need, I'm sure about retiring the engagement. From today onwards, the engagement between you and the second princess of my country will be canceled immediately. From now on, the marriage between a man and a woman has nothing to do with each other." Zi Qinghan immediately said decisively, " Prince Yi, the envoys of other empires will arrive tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow is the Queen Mother’s birthday banquet, so I hope Prince Yi will definitely come.”

Although he appreciates Gong Shengyi's character, he is one of the most outstanding young men in all the empires, and he is also a rare peerless genius, but since he has no intention of marrying his and Lan'er's daughter, then he will If you allow him, it won't affect the friendship between the two countries, and you don't need to marry your daughter to a man who doesn't have her in his heart, because he knows that it will be a woman's sorrow. He has already missed the growth of his daughter and will never Let her jump into an unhappy marriage.

As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, the other ministers were anxious, but they didn't dare to say something. She was the second princess. The royal family has long since given up on her, but she still bears the title of Second Princess no matter what, so how can she let others say that she is divorced?The prince of the Beichen Kingdom came to resign the engagement to bully them, no one in the Dongwu Empire, but, no one dared to mention this in front of the emperor, the second princess, that was a heartache in his heart!Thinking of the emperor who almost gave up the entire Tobu Empire more than ten years ago, alas...

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Another day, I will personally apologize to the second princess of your country, and I will definitely come to the birthday banquet the day after tomorrow." After finally going to a palace with a heartache, Sheng Yi suddenly felt relieved, and his speech became much more refreshing, because , he can finally go to his sweetheart Yufeng's house to propose marriage to her.

Thinking of Yufeng, a beautiful and exquisite face appeared in Gong Shengyi's mind. Since he was ten years old, he would have the same dream every time the moon was full. The woman in the dream had a beautiful face. Standing in an empty space, staring at him with extremely indifferent eyes, when he walked up to ask who she was, her beautiful figure suddenly disappeared, which made his heart tighten all of a sudden, and his mood was lost , woke up from the dream, and later, every time her figure appeared in his dream, he never asked her any questions, and every time he looked at her two by two, she stared at him every time. Indifferent as water, expressionless, there is no trace of emotion in it.

Yufeng is the girl he met in Yangcheng not long ago. Her face is three points similar to the woman in his dream. When he first saw her, his heart speeded up and he was very excited. She likes him.

After coming down to court, Zi Qinghan came to the Youlan Palace, which he had never set foot in for more than ten years. Inside, because no one cleaned it, it was in disrepair for a long time, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the house was also full of dust. Where the heart hurts, I still hold the warm jade pendant in the palm of my hand, and keep stroking it lightly. The emperor's eyes are red, and the man does not flick his tears easily, but he has not reached the sad place. Alas, he has not been like this for many years. Lan'er who missed him, her beautiful face is still so clear in his mind.

Zi Qinghan stayed here for a whole day, until the sun was about to set before seeing his figure walk out of the Orchid Hall. At this moment, he no longer had the innate aura that belonged to the emperor in the early court. Now he Just an infatuated man who misses his dead wife.

After passing by the attendant Liu Qing who had been waiting outside the Youlan Palace all day, he told him, "Clean up all the Youlan Palace before tomorrow morning, and let the second princess live in."
