"What's more serious?"
Yuan Mi frowned and twisted his sleeves with his fingertips, looking nervous.
"...In severe cases, it can lead to death."
"How could this be so!" Yuan Mi was startled, with shock in his eyes. "Aren't you the Khan's biological son?"
Ji Cheng raised the corners of his lips slightly and spoke calmly, "Khan is a romantic man and shows mercy everywhere. In his eyes, heirs are the most useless things."
"Then the crime won't lead to death..." Yuan Mi looked panicked and asked in a low voice.
Ji Cheng looked at her with a calm look, "I am a twin. I once had a younger brother named Ji Shen. He was executed by the Khan because he offended the general."
"My mother was also stimulated by the pain of losing her son. She ran to the Khan and said some harsh words, and then she was raped to death with a cleaver. After her death, she was randomly thrown behind the mountain and eaten by jackals. "
Yuan Mi was startled and stared blankly at the person in front of him, not knowing what to say.
"The Khan has many sons, but not every one of them can be a prince. The Khan has ordered that all his sons must compete with the wild beasts he raised with bare hands after their seventh birthday."
"Only those who survive can become princes, and my mother's status will also rise with the tide."
Ji Cheng turned around and said indifferently, "Ji He and I were lucky enough to tell our fortunes and escaped alive. Unexpectedly, not only did we not get the reward from him, but we were also imprisoned for killing his favorite beast. He went into the secluded room and kowtowed to the animal skins on the ground all night long."
"He is a lunatic!" Yuan Mi couldn't bear it any longer and cursed loudly regardless of his loss of manners.
Ji Cheng's eyes were full of bitterness and he said calmly, "There are so many dirty things, so I'm used to it."
"Being his son is hell."
Ji Cheng met Shang Yuan Mi's horrified gaze, with a hint of decadence in his tone, and said self-defeatingly, "After confessing, are you still willing to be husband and wife with me?"
Yuan Mi calmed down, looked at the reflection in Ji Cheng's eyes, remained silent for a while, and said softly, "Yes."
Ji Cheng raised his eyes, full of surprise, and murmured, "How could you..."
"You are a pampered princess and the darling of heaven. Why do you have to fall into the quagmire and be with someone like me?"
"Is being a princess a blessing in life?" Yuan Mi chuckled, his tone fearless, "I have responsibilities on my shoulders. I can't refuse the marriage, but I can choose a husband by myself, so I'll be satisfied."
"You said it yourself. Among the Turkic princes, you are the only one with the most outstanding appearance and talent. In this case, I naturally want to choose someone who is pleasing to the eye."
Yuan Mi smiled brightly and looked at him with bright eyes, "Besides, I am the princess of Dayan. No matter how crazy the Khan is, he would not dare to kill my husband."
"As long as I am your wife, I can protect you for a day, and you can do what you want to do without any distractions."
Ji Cheng had already lost his reaction, and his eyes, which had not been red for many years, became sour at this moment.
"You are not a thing in the pool. Your world will be broader in the future. You and I both have confidence in this."
Yuan Mi's tone was cheerful, but there was something else in his words, "If you can reach the top of the mountain in the future, please grant me one request."
Ji Cheng knew what she was thinking and immediately spoke, "If I can really reverse the situation and change my destiny, I will never show any concern for Dayan."
"I know you are a good person." Yuan Mi lowered his head, his eyes fell on his fingertips, and said softly, "In the years when Dayan was a hostage, you were bound to be bullied, but you can not bear to hate them, which is enough to prove your Character.”
"Concubine De has no children. You have always been filial to her. She also regards you as her own son. When she learned that you were leaving Dayan, she didn't have a sound sleep for several days."
Ji Cheng was moved in his heart, even though he was reluctant to give up, there was nothing he could do.
"In the future, I will be by your side through thick and thin. You will no longer be alone, so you don't have to worry."
Ji Cheng's eyes flickered, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes, but he could only see her pink earlobes.
She was like a beam of light that suddenly broke into his life and illuminated the dark corners of his heart.
Her father doesn't love her, her mother doesn't love her, and her brothers don't get along. She is the only one who firmly believes in herself.
The ups and downs along the way seemed to be relieved at this moment.
Ji Cheng straightened his expression and said with great piety, "No matter what happens, even if it means risking my life, I will protect you."
Hearing this, Yuan Mi didn't say anything, but just smiled and rolled his eyes.
-
It was night, and the door of the Duke's Mansion was open. From the outside, it looked like a beast with its maw of an abyss open, waiting for its prey to come to the door.
Zhu Yan walked home in the dark. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw lights on in the house and figures on the windows.
Zhu Yan's mind moved, and she recalled what Fang Xu had said in her mind, and walked over slowly.
Su put his hand on the door, pushed it gently, and the door panel creaked.
The man stood with his hands behind his hands, and there was no emotion or anger in his tone, "You still know how to come back?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhu Yan gritted her teeth, kept her face straight, saluted, and said softly, "I came back late, please don't blame me, husband."
Qi Chong was stunned, turned around in confusion, and his eyes fell on Zhu Yan, a trace of novelty flashed in his eyes.
The beauty in front of her was not as old-fashioned as in the past. She was wearing the most popular brocade skirt in Beijing, lightly applied with powder and pearls on her hair, and she looked graceful and luxurious.
Qi Chong was only surprised for a moment, then he frowned and scolded in a deep voice, "Look at how you behave, how well you look on your face and eyebrows."
Zhu Yan lowered her head slightly, the corners of her mouth were curved just right, and her voice was soft, "Husband, don't be surprised, I only wore it for one day. My husband hasn't been here for so many days. I was frightened in my body and mind, so I thought about what to do." , relax the relationship with your husband."
Qi Chong was very pleased with Zhu Yan's appropriate flattery, and his frown relaxed a lot. He snorted coldly, "If you can think about it yourself, you are wise."
"I understand the word "women's morality" in my mind and body. After marrying my husband, I want to live my whole life honestly." Zhu Yan smiled lightly and her eyes moved, "I also ask your husband to forgive me and let me always be with him. about."
Qi Chong curled his lips and looked at Zhu Yan carefully, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, "As long as you behave well, the position of the Duke's wife will always be yours."
Zhu Yan rolled her eyes in her heart, but her face was greatly moved, and she said softly, "As long as there is a place for me in my husband's heart, I will have nothing more to ask for."
Hearing this, Qi Chong strolled over, took her hand, and comforted her in a low voice, "It's normal for men to be a bit wary. I promise you, as long as you stop making trouble, no one can move your position. "
The sincerity of what Qi Chong said was almost the same as the expression on his face when he tried so hard to marry Zhu Yan.
