The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 168 Refusal to Marry (3)

After Jiang Susu heard what the eighth prince had said, she was on the verge of collapse. The mood that was still secretly happy at the beginning has now been replaced by hatred that hurts to the marrow. I have never been so jealous of Jiang Ruan as I am now, crazy jealous! Why did Jiang Ruan steal her identity as the eldest daughter and her sweetheart? Why!

Jiang Ruan looked at Ye Li indifferently, since she was reborn, she was like a fly that had eaten in the belly of Ye Li, she always avoided it if she could, this was the first time she was so close to him. There was no trace of affection in his eyes, but the words he said were so beautiful and sincere. Back in time, back to the previous life, Ning Shuigu's peach blossoms were pink and affectionate, she Nuonuo didn't know how to deal with herself, Ye Li stood under the peach blossoms and looked at her with a gentle and considerate smile. He said, "Ruan'er, I really like you."

I really like you, what a beautiful way to say it. He only said that he liked it, but he didn't mention asking for marriage. He said he couldn't give her a title, so she believed it and was considerate of her difficulties. In her last life, she wished she could hear Ye Li say, "Would you like to be my wife?"

In order to become her wife, in order to be worthy of his love, she wronged herself to replace Jiang Susu into the murderous deep palace, where she was abused, insulted, ridiculed, and crushed in the dust.

How could he turn a blind eye? When he finished using her and announced that she was a witch who was a disaster for the country, and saw her fall in embarrassment in the hall, did he remember that day in Ningshui Valley, under the peach blossom tree, that sentence: "Ruan'er, I really like you."

In this life, she finally heard the sentence: "Will you be my wife?", but so what, she is no longer rare.

Ye Li looked at Jiang Ruan, he was confident, Jiang Ruan was not favored by his father since he was a child, his mother died early, and he lived in Zhuangzi for five years, such a person, as long as someone treats her a little better, she will be grateful like. It's easy to win her heart.

But looking at Jiang Ruan, his smile froze suddenly.

What kind of eyes are those eyes, clearly beautiful like the clear spring of a mountain stream, but desolate like black poppies blooming in a barren land, the emotion surging in those eyes is intense and calm, it is not admiration and emotion, Nor is it any kind of joy. That's not love, that's hate.

Ye Li was stunned, he read it right, it was hatred, it seemed to be hatred to the bone, a hatred that wished to devour his flesh and blood and drink his blood. In that hatred, there was a kind of disgust, as if he was some rotten thing.

His expression slowly froze, why?

Under such intense emotions, complex love-hate eyes, Ye Li's mind was blank, as if he didn't know what to do next, facing Jiang Ruan's eyes, he felt a little fear in his heart.

why is that?

He tried his best to figure it out, and then he saw the immature girl in front of him suddenly sneer at him, and said with a touch of sarcasm: "I, no, willing, willing."

Jiang Ruan raised her chin proudly, her tone was clearly humble, but her expression was like that of a high-ranking princess: "Thanks to Your Highness's kindness, but this minister's ambition is not here. Your Highness's words made this minister's heart terrified, and I really dare not climb high." After finishing speaking, he bent down and kowtowed to the emperor: "I hope your majesty will be successful."

No matter what Ye Li said about being in love, her heart was as hard as a stone, and she remained motionless.

The smile on Chen Guifei's face deepened, the light and color in her eyes changed, and she didn't look angry at all.

Although the emperor was annoyed at Jiang Ruan's ignorance of flattery, he could not force Jiang Ruan to agree to Ye Li in front of civil and military officials. Then he waved his hand a little irritably: "In that case, it means that you and Lao Ba have no fate."

Ye Li's complexion was a bit grim, he didn't expect Jiang Ruan to reject him with such a cold and firm sentence today. He looked at Jiang Ruan inquiringly, and really didn't understand why Jiang Ruan rejected him without even thinking about it, his expression didn't show any looseness, and why he showed such hatred towards him. If it's just for Jiang Susu, why do you hate him so deeply?

Jiang Ruan saw Ye Li's expression in his eyes, and sneered silently in his heart. In this life, he still used the same means as in the previous life, hoping to buy her heart and let her do things for him. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world, does Ye Li think that since he condescends and is willing to deceive others, others should be grateful to him?

Mo Cong shook his head, and said in a regretful tone: "The eighth prince is really an idiot, but what a pity he met the vicious... miss of the Jiang family, who is doomed to be ignored."

Xiao Shao looked at Jiang Ruan from a distance, people who practice martial arts have good eyesight, just now Jiang Ruan looked at Ye Li's gaze clearly, there is no trace of love in it, but that hatred makes people feel a little confused . How could she hate Ye Li so much? For a moment, it felt like she was about to disappear, as if she didn't belong to this world.

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Xiao Shao frowned suddenly, years of intuition made him sensitively aware that something was wrong in the air. He lightly pressed the long sword at his waist - courtiers were not allowed to carry weapons during the palace banquet, but he was an exception. The emperor made an exception and allowed him to take it.

Ye Li saluted Jiang Ruan, and returned to his seat with a regretful expression. That dejected appearance made the female family members in the palace feel distressed. On the one hand, they were glad that Jiang Ruan did not accept Ye Li, but on the other hand, they secretly hated that Jiang Ruan didn't know good from bad, and made such a fairy-like figure sad.

Jiang Ruan and Jiang Xinzhi smiled slightly, the emperor's interest was disturbed a lot after such a move, he waved his hand and said, "Have a banquet."

Laid-in-waiting maids filed in, each holding a tray in their hands. Among them, the leading maid was slender, with clear eyebrows and dressed differently from the other court ladies. Behind her were two other court ladies in different clothes who walked towards the emperor holding a tray. One stood in place, and the other two began to pour wine for the emperor and queen mother.

The maid beside the queen took out silver chopsticks to dip in the wine. The leading lady-in-waiting was pouring wine, just as she lifted the jug, she suddenly pulled out a dagger from under the white cloth and stabbed viciously at the emperor's chest.

With a "bang", there was a sudden strong wind mixed with something, and it deflected the palace lady's dagger, almost missing the fatal point. It was a golden button.

On the high seat, almost at the same time, Xiao Shao flew up and rushed towards the emperor. Guan Lianghan paused, slammed the table and stood up, the women around him who had never seen such a battle before, all screamed in shock. The maids in pink clothes were shocked again, some of them flew up suddenly, pulled out the soft swords hidden in their waists, and went straight towards the emperor's face.

"Emperor Dog, take your life!" the women shouted.

He was mixed among the serving maids!

There were at least a few hundred palace maids serving the palace banquet today. With such a mess, the palace was in chaos. The emperor was shocked, and the guards desperately said: "Guard! Guard!"
