Marry

24

The fragrance of Yutan suddenly penetrated her nose. She trembled all over and looked up at him involuntarily. He looked down at her just in time. The two of them were so close that their breathing intersected for a moment.

"Your Highness!" Wen Ning immediately took a step back and kept a normal distance from him.

Xiao Yunci narrowed his eyes and looked at her flustered appearance, then smiled slowly, "You are usually very smart, but why are you so stupid today? You are kneeling alone and can't get up. Don't you know how to follow me?"

"I don't know what arrangements will be made later, so I dare not get up easily." Wen Ning said in a low voice, "Thank you very much, Your Highness, for today."

"No need to say more." Xiao Yunci smiled faintly, "Go back."

"Yes." Wen Ning followed his footsteps, staggering a little.

Xiao Yunci glanced at her sideways and was about to say something, but Wen Ning seemed to have sensed his intention and immediately said, "Your servant can walk by yourself..."

He raised his eyebrows slightly, "I haven't spoken yet."

Wen Ning suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and slowly followed him, changing the subject, "The cloak is very warm, thank you, Your Highness."

"How many times do you want to thank me?" Xiao Yunci glanced at her, making Wen Ning unable to understand his mood. She had no choice but to follow his footsteps and walk forward quickly.

The sky was clear and the air was fresh. The way back was still very muddy, but everyone was much more excited than when they came. Even though the wheels were stuck in the mud, everyone was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they got off the car in twos and threes, watched the horses pull the car out of the mud, and started talking about what they had seen today.

"General Wen has passed away for so many years, and God has finally opened his eyes. How could General Wen's daughter allow the Tatars to bully her? Today's auspicious sign from heaven is of great significance."

"Yes, everyone is angry but dare not speak out. The Tatars have bullied us, and we are even going to send General Wen's bloodline to marry. I'm afraid General Wen's spirit in heaven would be furious."

"But since Miss Wen is destined to be a phoenix, can we really let her become the queen?"

"No way. Although the emperor is now in his prime, he has a very close relationship with the current queen. How could he marry another queen? It's impossible."

"Then the fate of a phoenix is generally..."

"Crown Prince? Concubine?"

"Hey, you're really not to mention it! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Wen are a perfect match."

"Wait, isn't Miss Wen engaged to the Qi family's eldest son? Now that there is no need for a marriage alliance, then of course she should go back and marry the eldest son."

"How could Feng Ming marry the prince? Master? Is the Qi family planning a rebellion?"

"Oh, it's getting more and more chaotic."

…

In Duke Qi's Mansion, when Qi Weiming heard Wen Ning's divination result that he was "born with the fate of a phoenix", he stood up suddenly. The wound on his back was torn instantly, and he fell down again in pain.

"What did you say!" He stared at Lan Tian who brought the news, "Say it again!"

"Today's divination during the sacrifice said that Miss Wen cannot marry into a foreign clan. If she does, Beiming will be finished!" Lantian explained what he knew in more detail, "And Miss Wen also drew the destiny lot. My Lord, you know the destiny lot. No one in Beiming has ever drawn it. This is the fate of the phoenix!"
