Chapter 404: Ancient Dimension, Cannon Fodder Female Matching Whose Marriage Was Snatched Away by Co
I took a long day off in the afternoon and asked my maid to read storybooks to me.
The father and son were punished to kneel at the palace gate for a month. This incident was like a huge rock dropped into water, causing a huge uproar among the powerful circles in the capital.
Meanwhile, the Shi family, a family of imperial merchants, unexpectedly welcomed the eunuch Xiao Shunzi, a favorite of His Majesty, who personally presented him with a gift. Xiao Shunzi's position within the palace was crucial, and his appearance undoubtedly announced to everyone the Shi family's special place in His Majesty's heart.
In an instant, the balance in the hearts of those who had been in awe of Prince Zhao's Palace began to quietly tilt.
In their view, since the Shi family has received such favor from the emperor, it must be on the rise and have unlimited potential. By making friends with them or even marrying into their family, they will surely gain many benefits and protection in the future.
In comparison, Prince Zhao's Palace is more like yesterday's flower, its glory gone, and its decline evident. It is unlikely that it will ever recover.
As a result, various forces began to get restless.
However, these forces with ulterior motives who wanted to get closer to the Shi family did not get close to the Shi Mansion as they wished.
Anyone who came with a male child encountered a series of strange and bizarre things without exception.
Some carriages suddenly broke down for no reason halfway through the journey, with the wheels falling off and the carriages tilting, making them unable to move forward; others slipped and fell into deep ditches on the side of the road, becoming covered in mud and in a miserable state.
What's worse, when those people regrouped and prepared to move forward, they were either hurriedly called away by officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or forcibly taken away by their immediate superiors on the pretext of discussing important matters.
Dozens of people came and went, but not a single one of them could get within a mile of the Shi Mansion.
For a moment, the road leading to Shi Mansion seemed to be cast under a spell, becoming a dangerous journey that everyone was afraid to take.
The Shi Mansion, which was originally thought to be bustling with people due to the emperor's rewards, is still as cold and lonely as before.
As for the reasons behind all these strange phenomena, whether they are coincidences or someone is secretly manipulating them, this has become a mystery that everyone secretly speculates about but dares not speak of.
In fact, within just one day, this incident quietly spread among the powerful circles in the capital, adding a touch of mystery and weirdness to the seemingly calm situation.
Inside the palace, Xiao Jingyuan's face was as gloomy as water, as if ink could drip out of it. He clutched the intelligence continuously transmitted by the secret guards tightly in his hands, his knuckles turning white from the strain. Anger and pain intertwined and burned in his deep eyes.
With every line of words he read, his brows furrowed a little more, and the resentment and pain in his heart were like a surging tide, hitting his rational defenses wave after wave.
The feeling was like a blunt knife slowly cutting into tender flesh. At first it was just a slight sting, but gradually the pain spread and penetrated deep into his bones, making it almost unbearable for him.
He knew that there were still countless greedy eyes in the world staring at Miaomiao, trying to take Miaomiao away from him.
But he couldn't assert his sovereignty when Miaomiao was ignorant!
I can't scare Miaomiao, nor can I reveal my greed for Miaomiao too early...
But the more this happened, the more the jealousy in Xiao Jingyuan's heart could not be quelled. The intense anger was like a volcano about to erupt, violently rolling in his heart.
He had savored the look Miaomiao had given him countless times. It was pure without a trace of impurities, without any liking for him, only unconditional trust...
But this is not all he desires. He wants to see Miaomiao blushing with shyness because of him, and wants her eyes to be filled with love and attachment to him.
But the reality is that Miaomiao doesn't seem to understand.
Therefore, before he has established an absolute advantage in Miaomiao's heart, he will never allow any potential rival in love to appear by her side.
He is like a giant dragon guarding a treasure, and has an almost crazy possessiveness for his territory. As long as there is a hint of danger approaching, he will open his bloody mouth and swallow it without hesitation.
As long as he is still alive, Miaomiao will only belong to him, and no one else can get his hands on her!
"Someone, check all the people on this list for several generations to see if they have done anything they shouldn't have done!
If anyone is found guilty, they will be severely punished according to the laws of their country!"
Xiao Jingyuan's love for Miaomiao is like the hottest stars in the deep night sky, pure and strong. The only person he desires is Miaomiao.
As for those people surrounding Miaomiao, whether they have the same purpose as Prince Zhao's Mansion is unknown.
But Xiao Jingyuan thought that he was not an unreasonable person, and he was even reluctant to restrict Miaomiao's freedom.
He also knew that home was Miaomiao's confidence in staying by his side in the future, so he naturally hoped that Miaomiao could shine. Even if he was jealous, he would try his best to restrain his jealousy and allow Miaomiao to interact normally with her business partners.
He can stand behind her, protect her from wind and rain, and escort her.
But, the people on this list are not allowed!
These people had never appeared before when Prince Zhao and his son showed up to make the engagement. Now that Prince Zhao's mansion is in trouble and the Shi family has gained power, they are rushing to come forward again.
She even brought along the unmarried male from her family. What on earth was she planning?!
These people had touched his reverse scale, and if they didn't die, they would at least be severely punished! !
It’s a pity that now I don’t even dare to assert my sovereignty, for fear of affecting Miaomiao’s reputation and making her sad.
"Come here, come here, tell the Censor Zhao Qi, the Imperial Academy Scholar Su Jin, and the Cabinet Secretary Wang You to come to the Imperial Study. Come in secret and don't reveal your whereabouts!"
Xiao Jingyuan took a deep breath and tried his best to calm his troubled mind.
In his mind, the most critical and urgent thing at the moment is to clarify his identity as Miaomiao's bedside man.
In the past, he disliked those censors who would always bang their heads against the pillars, but now he can take advantage of them...
Today, the Imperial Observatory has endorsed it, so let’s make a big deal about it and let everyone pay attention to it.
Only a few days remained until the devastating rainstorm that had come and gone so quickly in his memories of his previous life...
He still remembered the shock of the rainstorm, and of course he also clearly remembered that after the rain stopped, a rainbow suddenly appeared. Even the court said it was a miracle...
Miaomiao, that is his miracle!
