Su Wanqing's father was a palace physician and died in the imperial garden. She was originally married to King Xie Jing'an of Qin by the late emperor. Because the emperor was seriously ill, Xie Jing'an, who was guarding the border, returned to the capital.
The Queen Mother intended to make Xie Jing'an the next emperor. Taking advantage of the death of Su Wanqing's father and Xie Jing'an's absence in the capital, she issued an order to cancel the marriage between Xie Jing'an and Su Wanqing.
When the Su family was in trouble, the second brother took advantage of the situation to seize power and drove Su Wanqing's sister and brother out of the capital. They hired murderers to kill. The Su family's sister and brother narrowly escaped death.
She went to live with her uncle's family, and in order to settle down, she voluntarily married her cousin.
Unexpectedly, Xie Jing'an learned that she was not dead, so he chased her to Shucheng and happened to catch up with her wedding. He robbed the sedan chair and became angry with her.
"What title do you plan to give me when I return to Beijing? Will I be your concubine or a shady concubine?"
"Are you going to disobey the Holy Will and marry me as your royal concubine? Xie Jing'an, please wake up. My father is dead and I am now a helpless orphan, not worthy of your noble status as a prince."
"Even if I, Su Wanqing, die alone, I will never be anyone's concubine!"
"Who said I wanted to marry you as my concubine, Su Wanqing, am I so unbearable in your heart?"
"Is it possible that the prince will violate the holy will and marry me?"
Very well written and worth reading!
