Let's divorce!

A smile appeared on her calm face, and then it instantly faded. Nie Jinxuan spoke, but as soon as these words fell, it stunned Emperor Shuncheng, and Yin Fengzhan, who was standing beside Nie Jinxuan, was shocked and turned to look over.

The room was silent. After a long while, Emperor Shuncheng seemed to regain his senses, frowned instantly, glanced quickly at Yin Fengzhan beside him, and then looked at Nie Jinxuan in front of him and said:

"Fourth Son's wife, just now... just now what did you say? Say it again!"

"This daughter-in-law has already decided to divorce the Prince!"

Since Emperor Shuncheng didn't hear clearly, Nie Jinxuan didn't mind saying it more clearly. After speaking, Nie Jinxuan took out the Divorce Document she had been keeping close to her body.

"Emperor, please forgive this daughter-in-law for being unfilial. But this matter has already been decided by this daughter-in-law, and there is no room for turning back. So, just now when the Emperor said whether this daughter-in-law was intentionally deceiving or covering up for the Prince, this daughter-in-law can clearly reply to the Emperor that I absolutely did not! What this daughter-in-law said is the truth, it is the truth!"

Expressing her meaning clearly again, Nie Jinxuan lowered her head and bowed to Emperor Shuncheng, then turned to look at Yin Fengzhan beside her, and handed the Divorce Document in her hand to Yin Fengzhan.

"Yin Fengzhan, this is the Divorce Document, I have already signed my name! Now I give this Divorce Document to you, and with the Emperor as a witness, from now on, our husband and wife relationship is broken, and we have no relationship anymore."

Nie Jinxuan was still calm, but her eyes faintly revealed an indescribable desolation. But hearing this, Yin Fengzhan, who was standing in front of Nie Jinxuan, widened his eyes, glanced at the Divorce Document handed to him, and then looked up at Nie Jinxuan in front of him.

"Nie Jinxuan, what do you mean?"

"It means nothing!"

"If it means nothing, why divorce?"

Frowning tightly, Yin Fengzhan asked in a low voice. His gloomy face was mixed with indescribable stormy waves, and his powerful aura made people feel unable to breathe. Seeing him like this, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but frown slightly, and then raised her eyes and said:

"Yin Fengzhan, do you still need me to explain the problems between us one by one here? You don't like me, I know. You have the bright moon in your heart, I also know. And now I am willing to withdraw, what else do you want me to do?"

Nie Jinxuan wanted to break up calmly. But when she said this, she couldn't help but feel sorrow from her heart.

"So, while it is now, it is better to break up! And I hope that although we cannot be husband and wife, we can still be friends in the future!"

Suppressing the bitterness and grievances in her heart, Nie Jinxuan tried her best to speak gently. Hearing this, Yin Fengzhan's face changed, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Strange air drifted around. At this moment, watching Nie Jinxuan and Yin Fengzhan like this in front of him, Emperor Shuncheng was also stunned. After a while, seeing that neither of them spoke, he cleared his throat.

"Uh... *cough*, that, Fourth Son's wife, marriage is not a child's play. Are you really determined?"

At this moment, Emperor Shuncheng was also embarrassed! After all, it was he who questioned Yin Fengzhan's leg injury, so he came in here to listen to Nie Jinxuan's explanation in private. But he didn't expect the result to become like this!

Emperor Shuncheng couldn't figure out why things became like this. At this moment, hearing Emperor Shuncheng's words, Nie Jinxuan turned around, lowered her head, and bowed respectfully.

"In reply to the Emperor, just as the Emperor said, marriage is not a child's play, so how can this daughter-in-law make a joke of such a thing?! Besides, the Emperor is still here now. If this daughter-in-law is just fooling around, wouldn't I be committing the crime of deceiving the Emperor?!"

"Uh... this..."

Emperor Shuncheng was rarely speechless. Seeing this, Nie Jinxuan didn't say anything, but turned to Yin Fengzhan and said:

"Yin Fengzhan, no matter how we were before, since we have divorced now, let's forget about the past! Of course, if you feel uncomfortable with the term divorce, you can also claim to the outside world that you divorced me! You can say whatever reason you want, I don't mind!"

Nie Jinxuan didn't care about her reputation. Of course, she also knew that Yin Fengzhan wouldn't do such a despicable thing. So after finishing her sentence, Nie Jinxuan nodded to Yin Fengzhan, then turned to Emperor Shuncheng and said:

"Then in that case, just now this daughter-in-law... uh, Jinxuan has explained the matter to the Emperor. If the Emperor has no other instructions, Jinxuan will go back first. Please forgive me for any rudeness!"

After speaking, Nie Jinxuan didn't wait for Emperor Shuncheng to speak, bowed, and walked out.

Nie Jinxuan walked away calmly. Her steps were elegant, and her face was calm. Watching her leave, after a long while, Emperor Shuncheng finally regained his senses, frowned inexplicably, but then turned to look at Yin Fengzhan beside him.

"... Fourth Son, you this..."

Emperor Shuncheng didn't know what to say. At this moment, Yin Fengzhan, who was standing in the spot, kept his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking. Seeing him like this, Emperor Shuncheng frowned instantly, but just as Emperor Shuncheng wanted to say something, he saw Yin Fengzhan's expression tighten.

"Does Father Emperor have other important matters?"

"Uh... hmm, nothing."

Adjusting his expression, Emperor Shuncheng regained his senses instantly. Hearing this, Yin Fengzhan bowed respectfully to Emperor Shuncheng.

"In that case, this son will take his leave!"

"Hmm, take care of your injury!"

"Yes! Many thanks to Father Emperor for your concern."

Responding again, Yin Fengzhan turned and walked away. At this moment, watching his back, Emperor Shuncheng couldn't help but sigh, but then narrowed his eyes...

At this time, Gao Caiyong, who was guarding the door, saw that Nie Jinxuan and Yin Fengzhan had both left, and walked in.

"Emperor..."

Gao Caiyong spoke in a low voice. At this moment, Emperor Shuncheng, who was still quietly looking outside the door, just twitched his brows.

"Did you hear everything just now?"

"Yes, this old servant heard it..."

"What do you think about this matter?"

"Uh... this old servant dares not comment."

Lowering his head respectfully, Gao Caiyong glanced quickly at Emperor Shuncheng and then hurriedly lowered it again. At this moment, Emperor Shuncheng, who was looking outside the room, raised his eyebrows thoughtfully and said again:

"Then do you think this divorce... is true or false?"

"Uh... this old servant..."

"I told you to speak, so speak!"

"Yes!"

Scolded by Emperor Shuncheng, Gao Caiyong hurriedly responded, and then after thinking for a while, said in a low voice:

"In reply to the Emperor, according to this old servant's foolish opinion, today's matter doesn't seem to be fake..."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"Yes, actually, this old servant was outside at the time, so I don't know the specific situation... But Emperor, think about it, just as the Consort of Prince Chen said herself, marriage is not a child's play?! If the Consort of Prince Chen, as a woman, hadn't really made up her mind, how could she publicly propose divorce in front of the Emperor?!"

"So, you mean, Fourth Son's wife wanting to divorce was planned long ago?"

"Yes, this old servant thinks so... Moreover, as far as this old servant knows, the Consort of Prince Chen and Prince Chen have a tense relationship. I heard from people in the front courtyard that the two not only argued, but later the Consort of Prince Chen ran to her sister's room to stay! So Emperor, think about it, now is the time of the Spring Sacrifice. If there hadn't been a real falling out, how could the Consort of Prince Chen do such a thing? Isn't this clearly letting others watch a joke?! Therefore, this old servant feels that the Consort of Prince Chen wanting to divorce Prince Chen shouldn't be fake!"

Gao Caiyong's words were indeed reasonable. Therefore, after he finished speaking, Emperor Shuncheng nodded, walked to the door, looked into the distance, and after a long while, said:

"What about Fourth Son's wife's explanation earlier? Is it true?"

"In reply to the Emperor, although this old servant doesn't know how Prince Chen was injured before, the things that happened after arriving at the villa are basically true!"

"Hmph, so Fourth Son's wife really told the truth..."

"Yes, this old servant was suspicious at first, but later felt that there should be no problem. After all, even if the Consort of Prince Chen had the courage of a giant, she wouldn't dare to lie to the Emperor! Moreover, she said it without any leaks! At the same time, the key point is, if Prince Chen really is the person the Emperor suspects, then given the relationship between Prince Chen and the Consort of Prince Chen, how could he tell the Consort of Prince Chen such an important matter?! And since the Consort of Prince Chen doesn't know the ins and outs of the matter, how could she help Prince Chen deceive the Emperor?"

Gao Caiyong stated his speculation. After speaking, he looked up at Emperor Shuncheng. At this moment, listening to his words, Emperor Shuncheng narrowed his eyes, and after a long while, suddenly said in a low voice:

"Withdraw the people sent to Fourth Son's side and investigate again! Also, call the Crown Prince to me in a while!"

"Yes!"

Walking alone on the road back to the front courtyard, Nie Jinxuan suddenly felt that her mood was indescribably complicated!

She had divorced Yin Fengzhan! She had hesitated, thought, worried, and felt uneasy countless times... But in the end, Nie Jinxuan found that divorce was such a simple thing!

And from now on, she was no longer the Consort of Prince Chen, so what arrangements should she make after returning? And he...

Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but think of Yin Fengzhan again, but just then, a command sounded from behind:

"Nie Jinxuan, stop right there!"
