Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 225
At night, the three of them walked through the winding corridors and stopped outside an elegant guest room.

This is the wing room where the honored guests rest, while the rest of the people who propose marriage can only settle in the simple stone room in the east.

Jiang Ling scanned the empty guest rooms, his gaze suddenly stopped at the only window with a light on.Closing her eyes slightly, she quickly walked to the door and kicked the door open!

Su Ji and Niu Zhu arrived later, and saw a young man sitting in the exquisitely decorated guest room.

Niu Zhu looked carefully, and saw that the young man's white face had sharp edges and corners, and his handsome features were particularly distinct. He was wearing a goose yellow embroidered cloak, and his appearance gave people the feeling that he had read poetry and books.

Su Ji couldn't help being surprised that the frail, scholar-like young man in front of him remained calm in the face of someone breaking into the door at night.This composure and calmness alone are not possessed by ordinary people of the same age.

Looking at the young man in the hall, Jiang Ling raised her eyebrows slightly, "Are you Xi Bofeng?"

The young man nodded and said with a smile, "I don't know what advice you three have?"

Xi Bofeng's seemingly calm eyes contained a hint of arrogance, his eyes swept across three unfamiliar faces, and then stopped on Su Ji, showing a complex expression.

The moment their eyes met, Su Ji felt that Xi Bofeng's face was very familiar.This feeling reminded him of when Gong Gulou saw his father, Xibo Jifu, for the first time, as if he saw a mirror reflecting himself.Intuition told Su Ji that this is a difficult person.Because Su Ji is also the same type of person, it is clear that this kind of person usually has a hard time letting go of one thing.

Jiang Ling cut to the chase and said, "I'm Jiang Ling!"

Xi Bofeng's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said slowly, "It turns out that Princess Shen Guo arrived, and he was far away to welcome him."

Having said that, Xi Bofeng was still sitting on the stool, looking at Jiang Ling with indifferent eyes, thinking to himself that a girl's family is so unreserved, and knowing that she is about to become a queen in the middle of the night, she couldn't help but break into the door Talk about marriage.It's a bit ridiculous to want to reach the sky so eagerly.

"Princess, the amount of dowry is too large, and it has been sent to the warehouse of Jingxin Pavilion for temporary storage. If the princess is in a hurry, you can go through the list first..."

Xi Bofeng stood up and put his hand into the package beside him.

Jiang Ling raised his hand to signal to wait, his expression became even colder: "Don't bother, I don't agree to this marriage!"

Xi Bofeng was stunned for a moment, never expecting to hear such a sentence.

Jiang Ling looked straight into his eyes, and said proudly: "You go back and tell Ji Gongyan, just say that I, Jiang Ling, admit that he has a good vision. However, I decide my own marriage, and I don't need him to worry about it."

Xi Bofeng couldn't help being shocked, these words were an unacceptable insult to an ordinary person, let alone she was targeting the future emperor!
Looking at Jiang Ling who was full of disdain, Xi Bofeng's hand inserted into the package had already touched the edge of a parchment.The parchment scroll is the list of betrothal gifts written by the prince himself, each gift is carefully selected, each gift is priceless, and each gift can make most women in the world crazy about it.But Jiang Ling resolutely withdrew the marriage of the future emperor without even looking at it.

Slowly taking his hand out of the package, Xi Bofeng said: "There is no need to make a hasty decision. Daoist Chai Song will talk to the princess tomorrow."

Jiang Ling said expressionlessly: "Chai Song and I are neither related nor related, I have nothing to talk to him about."

Xi Bofeng clenched his fists slightly, but his voice did not tremble: "Even if the princess does not listen to Chai Daochang's suggestion, at least she must consider your father Shenhou. Shenhou personally agreed to this marriage. If the princess does not agree, Shen Hou is afraid that he will inevitably be guilty of deceiving the king."

"Bullying the emperor?" Jiang Ling said with a contemptuous smile: "Ji Gongzhen is not my monarch, and Jiang Ying is not my father. Now that I am alone, no one can make decisions for me!"

Xi Bofeng was even more astonished, he didn't expect that not only did she have no monarch, but she also denied her relatives!But how could he have thought that it was not the first time that Shen Hou Jiang Ying decided to marry his daughter without authorization in order to gain power.

Jiang Ling stared at Xi Bofeng's immature face, and put pressure on him again, wanting him to know his determination clearly.Jiang Ling knew in his heart that no matter how strong the refusal was, Xi Bofeng would say that there was still room for compromise when he was on business, because Jiang Ling could tell from Xi Bofeng's eyes that he didn't believe that a woman could do anything for him. call the shots.

There was silence in the wing room.

Niu Zhu felt that the atmosphere in the room became more and more tense, as if his breathing was about to be frozen.

Feeling thirsty, Su Ji sat down on the table next to him, and picked up the tea bowl on the table. Seeing that the tea hadn't been touched, he picked it up and drank the tea while observing the younger brother's reaction.

Jiang Ling looked at Xi Bofeng coldly, waiting for him to let out a long sigh, and then showed an expression of abandoning the entanglement.

However, the development of things was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

Xi Bofeng looked at Jiang Ling, and said calmly: "Actually, before coming here, the Crown Prince gave me an order. If the princess does not agree, His Highness will not force it."

Niu Zhu and Su Ji looked at each other with doubts on their faces, which gradually turned into joy.

"Really?" Jiang Ling confirmed.

Hearing that Jiang Ling's tone softened slightly, Xi Bofeng's expression suddenly became serious.

"However, the prince wants to ask the princess to hand over one thing."

"what?"

"The cold picture of Liu Xian."

Jiang Ling's expression changed again, and his palm subconsciously fell on his chest.

Su Ji's hand holding the tea bowl stopped in the air, and found that Jiang Ling's expression became paler.He couldn't help but feel strange that Jiang Ling once handed over the secret treasure of Jujiao's missionary work "Jade Document of Good Fortune" in front of Wu Ji without hesitation, but now that she mentioned this "Willow Immortal Cold Picture", she was obviously disturbed.Besides, Su Ji had never seen treasures like picture scrolls in her bag full of treasures.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Jiang Ling suppressed the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, trying to make his voice appear strong, "You already know what I mean. Farewell!"

"Please stay!" Xi Bofeng's voice became more and more serious, "Princess, Liuxian Hantu is Shen Guo's secret treasure, if the princess cuts off the relationship between father and daughter, then it should be returned to the original owner. Thanks to the crown prince's intercession for a tribute from the Zhou family, a war was avoided. Now that the crown prince wants such a thing by name, if Shen Guo refuses to hand it over, there may be another dispute." Xi Bofeng reached into the package again and took out the dowry gift The list was handed over to Jiang Ling, "So it's best for the princess to agree to one of these two things."

The surrounding atmosphere became tense again.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Ling said: "I can give Ji Gongyan a chance, but I have to let him come to Kunlun to find me."

Xi Bofeng frowned and said, "You let the future emperor come all the way to see you in person?"

"If he is willing to come, I may consider agreeing, otherwise there is no room for negotiation."

Jiang Ling's tone was very calm, not as domineering as before, but it seemed to be able to stomp people under their feet.

All these emotions were accurately conveyed to Xi Bofeng, forcing a wry smile from the corner of his mouth.

Su Ji gently put the tea bowl back on the table, smiled at Xi Bofeng, followed Jiang Ling and Niu Zhu out of the room, leaving Xi Bofeng standing there alone.

Jiang Ling didn't say a word after going out, bowed his head and walked five feet away, and said in a low voice: "You guys wait for a while, I will come as soon as I go."

Usually girls speak in this tone, most of the time it's for convenience, and the two big men don't ask more questions.

"Third Junior Brother, do you know what Liuxian Hantu is?"

"I've never heard of it, but this thing must be very important to Senior Sister."

"But senior sister said just now that she doesn't know that thing at all."

"She is obviously lying." Su Ji said decisively: "I feel that this thing is on her body. If you don't believe me, we will find out after she comes back."

While the two were talking, Jiang Ling came back quickly, holding a somewhat familiar package in his hand.

"Senior sister, where did this package come from?" Niu Zhu asked suspiciously.

Su Ji smiled and said, "Second Senior Brother, have you forgotten what Senior Sister used to do?"

"You stole that young master's package?" Niu Zhu said in amazement; "It was just the three of us, and he will soon find out that it was you!"

"He was dizzy by me, and he couldn't wake up for a while." Jiang Ling said, and began to reach out to unwrap the package, "This man named Xi Bofeng, although he has no cultivation, is very difficult to deal with. I thought Ji Gongzhen sent him to propose a marriage just for me, but through the conversation just now, I feel that this marriage is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Let's take a look at what is inside Xi Bofeng's package, maybe we can get some clues... ..."
