The crazy daily life of the mistress

Chapter 129 Emperor Tiansheng Wants to Grant Marriage

Then, he reached out his hand and gently stroked Lu Yi's delicate face, muttering softly, "Thank you, Lu Yi."

After he finished speaking, Zhan Shixuan slowly closed his eyes and began to calm his mind and recuperate.

After a while, Zhan Shixuan's breathing gradually became steady, and his face regained some color. His originally tense body slowly relaxed, as if all the fatigue had dissipated.

At this moment, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the door. The sound was very light, and if you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't notice it at all. It turned out to be the returning doctor Wu. He said softly, "The medicine has been boiled. Drink it while it's hot." Zhan Shixuan nodded slightly and responded, "Okay."

Wu Yao held a bowl of steaming medicine in his hand steadily, as if the medicine weighed a thousand pounds. He walked to the bedside carefully with small steps, and then slowly handed the medicine to Zhan Shixuan.

Zhan Shixuan stretched out his hands, firmly caught the medicine bowl, then raised his head and drank the entire bowl of medicine in one breath without hesitation. Although the bitter taste quickly spread in his mouth, his eyebrows did not frown from beginning to end.

After drinking the medicine, Zhan Shixuan lay back on the bed, looking straight at the bed board above his head. Various scenes began to flash through his mind like a movie... After such a great achievement this time, Emperor Tiansheng will definitely reward him greatly.

I just don’t know what kind of reward will be given?

Promotion and advancement is of course a given, but will there be any other surprises besides this?

At this moment, a snow-white, full-winged pigeon flapped its wings and flew into the house, landing lightly by the window. After looking around with its lively eyes, it stood there quietly without moving.

Zhan Shixuan was lying in bed, deep in thought. He sat up slowly after hearing the noise. He reached out and gently stroked the pigeon's smooth feathers, then carefully took the letter tied to the pigeon's leg. When he unfolded the letter and read it, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

It turned out that the news in the letter was that Emperor Tiansheng not only wanted to reward him generously for his achievements, but also intended to marry the noble Tenth Princess to him!

No!

Zhan Shixuan felt a strong resistance in his heart. In his heart, no one else could make his heart beat except Lu Yi. He tightly grasped the letter in his hand and secretly made up his mind: no matter what, he would never accept the emperor's marriage arrangement and must find a way to turn down this marriage.

In an instant, a thought flashed through my mind.

Yes, you can pretend to be sick!

All I have to do is make my injuries look very serious... then maybe I'll have a reason to refuse this marriage!

Doctor Wu was worried about Zhan Shixuan's condition, but he also understood his difficulties.

He cooperated with Zhan Shixuan's plan and announced to the public that his condition was not optimistic and required a long period of rest.

Zhan Shixuan believed that he could avoid this arranged marriage as long as he made the emperor believe that he was unable to bear the responsibilities of marriage.

He hopes to protect his feelings for Lu Yi and is unwilling to sacrifice his own happiness for power and interests.

In the capital, the atmosphere in Ci'an Palace was solemn. The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Tiansheng with a serious face and said firmly: "I absolutely do not agree with Wanyin marrying Zhan Shixuan!"

She sighed inwardly. Regardless of the fact that the person Zhan Shixuan liked was Lu Yi, just looking at their actual relationship, they were uncle and nephew. How could such close relatives become husband and wife?

However, the Queen Mother was unable to reveal Zhan Shixuan's true background, so she could only firmly express her opposition. Emperor Tiansheng was full of suspicion and asked in confusion: "Mother, why are you so persistent?"

The Queen Mother was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond, so she could only slowly say: "Since Wanyin has been raised in my palace, now that it is time to talk about marriage, I will naturally keep a close eye on her. Not to mention that Zhan Shixuan is much older than Wanyin, more importantly..."

When the words came to her lips, the empress dowager was suddenly stuck, and couldn't utter the words after the word "still".

In fact, what she wanted to say was that Zhan Shixuan was in poor health.
