C159 (2/2)

When Jun Mohan, who was sitting opposite to her, saw the different expression on her face, a bitter and bitter feeling instantly flowed through his heart. It was bitter and dull, causing him to be unable to calm down.

These few days, he constantly reminded them of their past, but he could see sadness in her eyes, or maybe it was because she didn't want to talk about it.

He knew that this time, he might have truly broken her heart.

The two were speechless for a moment, and the carriage once again fell into silence.

Leng Ming and Ning Yan who were sitting outside heard their conversation and felt extremely sympathetic towards their master.

In order to get rid of her identity as a prince of the Duke Palaces, in order to avenge her mother and in order to get rid of that ridiculous marriage of hers, she broke Miss Bai's heart and caused her to misunderstand her to this day.

The love between a man and a woman was the most difficult thing to understand in this world. However, even their overweeningly powerful lord was unable to escape this calamity.

As nightfall approached, rows and rows of neatly and orderly soldiers stood before the gate of Xiangfan City, inspecting everyone that entered.

Ten days later was the marriage ceremony for the City Lord's only daughter, Miss Ye Luoli. The Mayor had instructed that Xiangfan City must be protected from the wind, and the carriages that entered must be recorded. To prevent the enemy from knocking on the door and forcing the wedding to be ruined.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Dongfang Chen and City Lord Ye Hongfei were playing chess. The two of them were evenly matched with extremely strong interest.

”Father-in-law has relented!”

Dongfang Chen dropped the last black piece, and steadily killed City Lord Ye to the point that not a single piece was left.

”Truly, 'out of the blue' is better than 'out of the blue'. This City Lord has become old.”

City Lord Ye shakily stood up, looking at Dongfang Chen with a face full of praise, he was very satisfied with this son-in-law of his.

”Father-in-law is too serious. Your son-in-law was just lucky and accidentally won this match. He doesn't have the strength.”

Dongfang Chen stood in front of him and bowed.

Even though he was bowing, his body didn't bend in the slightest. Instead, he stood straight like a pine tree, tough and unyielding. Standing against the wind, he emitted the aura of a king looking down on the world.

Ye Hongfei felt the aura of a king, and his heart was instantly suppressed. The pressure made it hard for him to breathe.

This kind of terrifying aura was enough to make him tremble in fear even after traversing the martial arts world for decades.

For this, he sent people to check on him, but to no avail. Even the people he sent out did not return.

Thus, he was initially extremely dissatisfied with this son-in-law.

If it wasn't for the fact that his only daughter refused to marry him, he would have long wanted to chase this ignorant person out.

”Tonight, the merchants of the Western Regions have come to visit. Follow me to receive them.”

Ye Hongfei finally suppressed the doubt in his heart and coldly said.

There was no emotion in his voice, neither salt nor light, nor warmth nor joy.

But his words made Dongfang Chen's heart sink, and he knew that this city lord who was as rich as a nation was beginning to suspect him.

Right now, the world was in a precarious situation. What was lacking was only the fuse that would lead to this war.

Xiangfan City was currently at the border of the Eastern Prefecture, but the Emperor was far above, and the City Lord Ye Hongfei already had the intention of standing on his own. He absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen.

In addition, the power of Southern Frontier and the Xi Liang in the past few years had not been to be underestimated. Only by marrying his only daughter and becoming the son-in-law of this Golden City would he be able to steadily protect the rivers and mountains of Dongjun Kingdom.

After his complicated gaze sent City Master Ye away, Dongfang Chen found an excuse and hurried to set up capital in Xiangfan City. He had to erase all his information before City Master Ye could find capital.

The river to the west of Xiangfan City was a river that flowed down from Southern Frontier. It was crystal clear, with the blue sky clearly imprinted on it.

When Ye Luoli thought about the news that was transmitted over from the capital, his heart could not calm down for a long time.

He did not expect Chen Nan to be Crown Prince Dongfang Chen of the Dongjun Kingdom. It was rumored that when people wore snowy clothes, they were gentle and refined.

At this moment, shock emerged from her heart, along with a trace of sadness. It was like having a big rock in her chest, making her feel breathless and restless.

Perhaps it was because of Dongfang Chen's deceit, or perhaps it was …

”Luo Li, promise mother that you'll find an ordinary man to live the rest of your life and never enter the palace. I must take my mother's words to heart. ”Remember, remember.”

His mother's last words were like a fly's warning before she died, repeating itself over and over again in her mind.

She sat on the ground and hugged her head in pain. However, the voice in her heart grew stronger and stronger, as if it wanted to devour her.

She did not know why her mother would not allow her to enter the palace. Her father had also done his best to prevent her from entering the palace. Even those young talents of the Shangguan family had been rejected by her father.

If he did not lie to his father and claim that Dongfang Chen was someone from the martial arts world, he would not have allowed this marriage.

She knew that her father had also sent people to investigate Dongfang Chen these past two days. Perhaps it was because Dongfang Chen had noticed and quietly erased everything related to her, causing her father's men to be empty.

Right now, the only way was for Dongfang Chen to fall in love with him, without being able to save him.

At least she still had children, and she had a place in the palace.
