Chapter 299 Feng Jun's Intention Murong Hua then spoke: "General Xiahou, my daughter Xue'er is a daughter of a rich family. She has been spoiled since she was a child and has a strong personality." "It's true that you saved him, but you also had physical contact with Xue'er in public." "You also know that my Eastern Zhou Dynasty has always valued men's chastity. Xue'er is in this state now. I am afraid that he will commit suicide when he wakes up." Xiahou Zhen was stunned: "This..." She didn't think of this at first, but when the Sixth Prince appeared and said those words, she realized something was wrong. It was just that because of the Sixth Prince's disturbance and the Third Prince's fainting, and because human lives were at stake at the time, she didn't think about anything else and carried the Third Prince into the palace. Now that she thought about it, she did have some intimate contact with the Third Prince. It is also possible that the third prince could not bear the stimulation when he woke up and committed suicide. However, Xiahou Zhen felt that there was something else behind Feng Jun's words.
Although I have some guesses in my mind, I dare not make any rash conclusions. However, what Feng Jun said next confirmed what she had guessed. Murong Hua glanced at Xiahou Zhen and walked around him. "I know that General Xiahou and the Sixth Prince are engaged, and I don't want to be the bad guy who breaks up their marriage." "It's just that... Xue'er has lost her reputation after all. General Xiahou carried Xue'er into the palace. I'm sure the whole palace has heard about it now." Although Xiahou Zhen's expression was calm, his black eyes darkened. "I don't want Xue'er's reputation to be damaged or to become a topic of gossip. There is only one solution for now." Murong Hua turned his eyes to Xiahou Zhen and said with a smile: "If General Xiahou is willing, I am willing to marry Xue'er to you." "Although the position of the principal ruler has been chosen, I will not force it. I am also happy to grant you the position of the co-wife." Although he had guessed Feng Jun's intention long ago, Xiahou Zhen was still shocked when he heard it out loud. After realizing what was happening, he immediately knelt down in front of Murong Hua, his face serious, and he said solemnly, "Lord Feng, please forgive me for not being able to agree to this!" "I already have the Sixth Prince as my husband, how can I take the Third Prince as my second wife?" A general married two emperors. There has never been such an absurd thing since ancient times. Besides, the Weiyuan Marquisate already has an awkward position in the court, and His Majesty has long complained about it. Her marriage to the Sixth Prince also led to speculation that Xiahou Zhen was on the side of Prince Rui. After all, Lord Rougui and Lord Feng had always been good friends, which naturally aroused suspicion. What His Majesty hates most is forming cliques for personal gain. If she marries the Third Prince at this time, wouldn't that be equivalent to telling others clearly that she, Xiahou Zhen, is on the side of Prince Rui? Even if saving the third prince was just an accident, His Majesty is suspicious by nature, and with the instigation of others, she would have a hard time expressing her grievances. "Please take back your order, Lord Feng." Murong Hua had never thought that Xiahou Zhen would refuse. Her eyes darkened slightly: "You don't agree?" "General Xiahou, don't forget that you and Xue'er have already had physical contact. If you don't marry him, and this gets out, what will happen to Xue'er's reputation?"
Murong Hua narrowed his eyes and spoke with a fierce threat. He also didn't want to force Xiahou Zhen like this. His Xue'er was of noble status, and it was already unfair for her to be married to such a rude and ungrateful warrior girl, not to mention that she was her equal wife. If possible, he would never let Xueer suffer such injustice. Xiahou Zhen's eyes dimmed and he didn't know what to say for a moment. Indeed, she touched the third prince and carried him back to the palace in public. It would have been inappropriate for her not to explain in public. If he doesn't marry, the Third Prince's reputation will be damaged. If she were to marry him, where would that leave her husband, the Sixth Prince, who was not married yet? The news of his marriage to two princes was shocking. Not to mention that she was just a military general with military power in her hands. Such behavior was actually a provocation to the imperial power. (End of this chapter)
