Chapter 208 Another Soul Master, Abandoned Daughter
"Blessed?" Zhu Zhuqing was a little confused, not knowing what the eunuch meant.
"You will know when you get to the palace." The eunuch smiled and did not answer Zhu Zhuqing's question. Instead, he turned to look at the guards and continued: "One by one, why don't you have any eyesight? Why don't you go quickly? Bring the sedan in."
"No need, I have feet and can walk on my own. Brother Yi, let's go."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't like the tone of the eunuch's words very much, so he closed his door directly and walked out of the family gate with Jun Yi. At this time, the carriage at the door was also ready. Zhu Zhuqing and Jun Yi got on the carriage together and followed. In the palace.
Silent all the way, Jun Yi followed Zhu Zhuqing to the Xingluo Palace. Along the way, he had a hunch that the divorce breakup might not be that simple. After all, this time was different from ordinary ones. After the Zhu Zhuqing family retired, it was the Xingluo royal family. However, Xingluo was different from Tiandou in that they both liked to use tough measures towards people and things. He was afraid that something might happen to Zhu Zhuqing, so he chose to follow Zhu Zhuqing to the Xingluo Palace.
The carriage arrived at the Tiandou Palace without any hindrance. Jun Yi and Zhu Zhuqing also got off the carriage. The Xingluo Palace was heavily guarded. Guards wearing armor and holding weapons could be seen patrolling everywhere. , although it is only the outer area of the palace, it still gives people a very depressing feeling.
When Jun Yi and Zhu Zhuqing stepped onto the stairs, they were stopped by two guards, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
At this moment, the previous eunuch stepped forward and said, "This is the second young lady of the Zhu family. His Majesty specially summoned him to the palace today, and this person beside him is her friend."
"Masks are not allowed in the palace, take them off," the guard said to Jun Yi.
"Brother Yi, you..." Zhu Zhuqing panicked for a moment, a little afraid that Jun Yi's identity would be exposed.
"Okay, pick it now,"
I saw Jun Yi slowly taking off his mask, revealing an extremely ordinary face, the kind that you would never find in a crowd. The guard frowned slightly after looking at it. Such a face The mediocre, unattractive face could easily be ignored if he wasn't wearing a mask, but since he was a friend of Miss Zhu's second daughter and the father-in-law was here, they didn't question him too much.
"Please put the mask away now. You must show your true appearance to others in the palace." The guard warned.
"Yes." Jun Yi nodded slowly and put the mask back into the system space.
Zhu Zhuqing on the side looked at Jun Yi's face, with a look of shock on his face, but she quickly covered it up. The art of disguise was not particularly rare in Douluo Continent, but she felt very confused. , why does Jun Yi still wear a mask when he knows how to disguise himself? Doesn’t this mean it’s unnecessary?
"Come, Second Young Lady, come with us this way. Your Majesty and Grand Duke Netherworld are waiting for you in the Imperial Study Room." After saying that, the eunuch in charge stepped forward and led Jun Yi and the others.
Soon, the eunuch led the two of them to the imperial study. After the announcement, Zhu Zhuqing walked into the imperial study, while Jun Yi was arranged to wait outside.
"Go ahead. If anything happens, I will show up as soon as possible." Jun Yi warned.
"Um."
Zhu Zhuqing followed the eunuch into the imperial study. She found that there were only four people in the huge imperial study. Her father and mother were sitting on the guest seats on the left, drinking tea, and there was a dragon sitting on the dragon chair in the middle. There is a middle-aged man with blond hair and a Chinese character. He is the current leader of the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Emperor Dai Lingtian. Behind him stands an old man wearing a black robe. The old man always lowers his head, as if There is no general at all.
"Meet your Majesty." Zhu Zhuqing saluted Emperor Xingluo.
The middle-aged man with blond hair and a Chinese character smiled slightly and said, "You must be Zhuqing. The last time I saw you was a long time ago, and now you have grown into a tall and graceful girl."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
After an extremely simple and perfunctory reminiscing about the past, Emperor Xingluo said: "Zhuqing, I won't go through so many twists and turns. I will get straight to the point here. I actually agree with you that you want to withdraw from this marriage. Mubai is indeed not good enough and is even a bit cowardly. He actually escaped from the Star Luo Empire for his own life. I am also very disappointed with him."
"Then please, Your Majesty, cancel the engagement." Zhu Zhuqing saluted.
Emperor Xingluo smiled slightly and said: "Of course, I have already discussed it with your parents. Your marriage to Dai Mubai will be canceled today."
There was a hint of joy on Zhu Zhuqing's face. She turned to look at her mother, only to find that she was not very happy, but looked worried. This made Zhu Zhuqing feel something was wrong.
Emperor Xingluo then asked: "Zhuqing, I heard that your parents said that your soul power has improved a lot during your absence, and now your strength has reached that of the Soul Sect, right?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
"Yes, yes, very good, very good. Then let me tell you directly here. I have decided to retire you and Mubai as soul masters and betroth you to Weiss, how about that?"
Emperor Xingluo's words made Zhu Zhuqing's face become extremely solemn. She was a little confused just now, why her mother was not happy, it turned out to be this reason.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I don't have this intention." Zhu Zhuqing declined politely.
Emperor Xingluo didn't pay attention to what Zhu Zhuqing said, and just said slowly: "Your father has agreed, and the matter has been settled today."
Having said this, Zhu Zhuqing turned to look at his father and found that he was tasting the tea without saying a word, as if he had accepted the ending.
Seeing her father acting like this, Zhu Zhuqing's heart felt like a knife. She took a deep breath and continued: "Your Majesty, I don't agree with this marriage. I have no feelings for the eldest prince, let alone marry him. Please Your Majesty is clear."
Hearing this, her father snorted coldly and said: "Emotions? What's the use of this thing? With the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, how can the marriage affairs of my Netherworld Zhu family be decided by others personally? Your Majesty has already said that you and The marriage of the eldest prince has been decided today. From now on, you will stay in this palace and there is no need to go back to Wuhun Academy."
Zhu Zhuqing's father's words resounded in Zhu Zhuqing's ears like a thunderbolt from the blue, making her whole head buzz. She never expected that things would evolve to this point. She never expected that her father would actually be there. Choosing to obey the marriage contract at the critical moment, doesn't this mean pushing her into another abyss? She couldn't figure out why? She is her father's biological daughter! Don't you think that you are not important at all in his heart?
