Chapter 50

  Murong Lingyun couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Although the Empress Dowager had just deliberately revealed his relationship with Lingfeng, giving Lingfeng this opportunity, it was impossible for him to choose Murong, but he believed that Feng'er would absolutely not choose Xuan Yuan Chen either.

  He thought, the wind must say it doesn't want to rush into marriage either.

  In this way, although he cannot be with Feng Er Ming immediately, at least he can solve the current crisis.

  The emperor's expression also relaxed a bit, although he knew that she would not choose him, but he was certain that she would absolutely not choose to marry Xuan Yuan Che, otherwise, she wouldn't have had to sneak out with Murong Lingyun in the middle of the night.

  But with the Empress Dowager's previous words, he also believed that she would absolutely not choose Murong Lingyun again. So, he also had an opportunity, could...

  Ling Feng looked at the Empress Dowager with some incredulity, not understanding why she would help her so much. But such an opportunity really moved her heart. According to the Empress Dowager's meaning, if she refused to marry Xuan Yuan Chen tonight, she would be free.

  Really? Can it really be that simple? Her eyes unconsciously swept over Murong Lingyun, and upon meeting the joyful glint in his eyes, a thread of hope stirred restlessly within her heart, or perhaps she truly could.

  Slowly moving her gaze from Murong Lingyun's face, she turned to the Empress Dowager, her red lips opening slightly, "I..."

  Just as I was about to speak, my words had not yet been fully uttered, when I suddenly felt that Xuan Yuan Chen, who was leaning on her other side, seemed to have leaned in a bit closer to her. Immediately, his cold voice sounded in her ear, "This king can save him, and at any time can kill him too. Since you've lost faith, then Murong Lingyun's life belongs to this king."

  A voice as cold as congealed blood, very cold, but not the masculine voice he usually had, but a very fine, very fine sound that went straight into her ears.

  Ling Feng knew that it was a very high level of martial arts cultivation. She knew that the sound just now could only be heard by her alone.

  Her body subconsciously stiffened, under his threat, the faint glimmer of hope that had just risen was suddenly frozen, and the words that were almost about to spill out were forcibly swallowed back.

  She knew that his words were not just a simple threat, he absolutely had the ability to do so and would be as ruthless as he said.

  So she didn't dare, didn't dare to take the risk. The wound on Murong Lingyun's body hadn't fully healed yet. If she let Murong Lingyun die in his hands again, wouldn't everything she had done in Xiliang City be in vain?

  After all, she had promised him and had also made up her mind to be his woman. If not for the temptation given by Murong Lingyun, or else she would now be quietly waiting in the Murong residence for him to come and marry her.

  What's meant to come will eventually arrive, and since she had agreed in Xiliang City to save Murong Lingyun, today she couldn't let her own regret push Murong Lingyun onto a path of death; that would be equivalent to directly causing his demise.

  Her eyes involuntarily looked at Murong Lingyun again, seeing the confusion flashing on his face, Ling Feng could only silently say sorry in her heart.

  She slightly closed her eyes, hiding all her attachment and reluctance. Ling Feng forced herself to be ruthless and stiffly turned her body towards the empress dowager, saying slowly word by word, "I... will... marry... Prince Wang."

  It had to end like this, after going around in circles, it still couldn't escape this outcome.

  Everyone present was shocked except for Xuan Yuan Zhi.

  "Wind, what are you saying?" The most shocked was still Murong Lingyun. He suddenly grabbed Ling Feng and exclaimed in disbelief, "Wind, do you even know what you're saying? How can you... how can you marry him? You obviously...", Suddenly realizing his own slip of the tongue, his words came to an abrupt halt. Only his hands grasping her arm tightened, as if trying to shake her awake, yet fearing to hurt her.

  "Since the Empress Dowager is backing you, just speak your mind and don't worry about anything." The Emperor also couldn't help but blurt out, revealing a hint of his anxious secret.

  If she agreed to marry Xuan Yuan Che tonight, then he would have no chance at all. He couldn't just find her and let her get married like this.

  "Yes, girl, marriage is not a child's play, you can think it through yourself." The empress also said with a hint of meaning, she didn't mind letting Lingfeng marry Xuan Yuanzhen, but understood that at this moment, Lingfeng must have unspeakable difficulties. If they were to get married in such circumstances, with their equally strong personalities, they might end up hurting each other.

  Both children make her heart ache and pity them, so she wants to help them. Even if they really want to get married, it should be when both of them are willing.

  "Hah?!" Xuan Yuan Chen suddenly laughed lightly, "I didn't expect that her agreeing to marry me would invite so many objections."

  Her eyes scanned the people in the room, and when she looked at the empress, a hint of disappointment flashed quickly in the depths of her pupils.

  The empress was startled and explained repeatedly, "Zhen'er, don't misunderstand, I just wanted to say that..."

  "The Empress Dowager doesn't need to explain anything to me." Xuan Yuan Chen quickly interrupted the Empress Dowager's words, but his voice was tinged with a hint of hurt. He hadn't expected that the person he trusted most would also treat him this way. It turned out that the Empress Dowager's appearance was only to stop her from marrying him, or perhaps it was for Murong Lingyun, or maybe even for the Emperor himself.

  "Alright, alright... The Empress also spoke with a hint of sadness, but seeing Xuan Yuan's cold face, she couldn't help but fall silent and let out a soft sigh. "Since the young lady has agreed, then your wedding tomorrow will proceed as usual."

  Since both of them were insistent, she couldn't continue to stop it anymore. As her eyes slightly gazed at Ling Feng, she said pitifully, "However, we can't just let Yatou be wronged like this. Tomorrow, I'll personally come to send her off for the wedding." Her words paused, and as she looked at Xuan Yuan Chen again, his expression also turned serious in an instant, "From tomorrow on, she will be your queen, I hope you can cherish her well."

  Not really helping this girl, at least give her a name and let her be in the palace, don't let others bully her.

  It was just the Empress's kindness that ended up harming Ling Feng. When she married into the palace as a princess, on their first night together...
