Marry

09

Wen Ning was about to give her name, but her heart suddenly turned cold when she heard the words... The Queen Mother knew she was coming.

She took a deep breath, and with a try-it-out attitude, she said softly, "When I was young, your servant Wen Ning and I often visited the Empress Dowager with my father... Now that I have grown up, I hope to see the Empress Dowager for the last time and show my filial piety to her."

Her voice was not loud, but it passed through the door and into the palace.

The guard looked at her sincere expression, and the two of them looked at each other, with some reluctance in their eyes.

Everyone in the capital city knew Wen Yuanhui. Now the general's daughter was to be sent to the enemy as a marriage partner. This matter had already spread throughout the capital city and was truly heartbreaking.

"Girl, please go back." The guard's voice was gentle, but a little weak.

Wen Ning knew that they were not deliberately making things difficult for her, but the Queen Mother was powerless to intervene in the matter, so she refused to see them - her marriage was probably a done deal, with no room for turning back.

She lowered her head in silence, took out the bottle that had just been filled with dew, and handed it to the guard.

"Can you help me... give it to the Queen Mother?" She knew that this last ray of hope was gone, and she felt sad. "This is the peony dew I just picked this morning."

"And this jade pendant." Wen Ning took out the broken jade pendant, leaving only the sharpest piece on her waist. "This jade pendant has always been worn by this servant. It broke today in order to protect myself... Thank you Queen Mother for your protection."

The guard took the things and almost wanted to let her in.

But Wen Ning took two steps back, knelt in front of the gate of Shou'an Palace, and kowtowed several times.

"God bless Beiming."

After she finished speaking, she did not ask for anything else, and turned and left alone.

After Wen Ning's figure left, the gate of Shouning Palace slowly opened. The guard turned around and immediately knelt down to salute the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager was holding Buddhist beads in her hand, and beside her was the Queen, who was supporting the Empress Dowager with a compassionate look on her face.

"This child..." The Queen Mother took the jade pendant presented by the guard, slowly stroked the lines on the broken jade pendant, and sighed, "It's also pitiful."

The Queen was slightly startled when she saw the clean bottle that was handed to her.

"This bottle was gifted by the Emperor. It was carved entirely from green jade. As I recall, it was given to the Emperor by the Emperor..."

When the Queen Mother saw this, her eyes narrowed slightly.

"The prince actually intervened?"

Wen Ning walked forward, feeling that the road ahead was dark and depressing, just like her own future.

Her mind was filled with thoughts, countless thoughts wandering back and forth, and finally converged into four words...a fight to the death.

She might have no other way to go.

The Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Empress could not stop the marriage, and Crown Prince Xiao Yunci...
