Chapter 269 Princess Shengya and Su Yan, Confessing the Prince
The emperor looked at Dongfang Muze. As long as he said he was willing, he would believe his innocence. If he said he was unwilling, his crime would be confirmed.
Dongfang Muze understood what the emperor meant, so his thoughts changed rapidly.
He never thought of giving away the three cities, they were just baits thrown out, waiting for some people to take the bait.
"Your Majesty, as long as the eighth princess nods, the little king is willing. But if the eighth princess is unwilling, I hope the emperor will not force her."
In Jun Lingyun's heart, he couldn't help but call him a bastard. Once he said this, his father would definitely put pressure on Wantao. In this way, he could reap the benefits.
Xi'er's strategy seems to be unworkable.
Jun Lingyun looked at the emperor expressionlessly, feeling more disappointed than ever with his father. Since his father was determined to accomplish this, no matter how much he said, it would be of no use.
"Father, I am going to see Wantao and will leave first."
In the emperor's mind, he was also weighing Dongfang Muze's words, how much was true and how false. Since he didn't say it to death, the emperor left some room for it.
"Prince Dongfang, please go back to your residence first. This matter is related to the life of the princess. I will definitely investigate and get to the bottom of it. To avoid suspicion, Prince Dongfang should not move around at will until the matter is found out."
"Thank you, Emperor!"
Dongfang Muze did not refute and readily accepted the emperor's proposal.
The two of them retreated together. When they were farther away, Dongfang Muze praised loudly:
"Prince Jun, your princess is not only charming the country, but also very resourceful. The little king really envy you."
Jun Lingyun looked at Dongfang Muze coldly, imagining how his mouth would be broken by his punch.
"What does Prince Dongfang really want? You might as well say it directly."
Dongfang Muze then smiled playfully.
"Xiao Wang thinks that Prince Jun should know what I want."
After he finished speaking, he left with a sinister smile on his face.
Jun Lingyun frowned. Sure enough, Dongfang Muze came for that mother and daughter, but he didn't expect that Aunt Liu and her daughter would be important enough for Prince Dongfang Muze to personally come to rescue them.
On the one hand, there is Wantao's lifelong happiness, on the other hand, there is Xi'er's deep hatred. It would be better to simply kill Dongfang Muze and have a happy battle with Dongyi.
However, this can only be thought of. If he kills the visiting prince of another country for no reason, other countries may attack him in groups.
"Bai Xiao, go and send a message to Wantao, telling her not to do stupid things."
"Yes, Master."
Bai Xiao immediately went to deliver the message. When he saw Princess Wantao, she was looking at the small porcelain bottle in her hand in a daze, remembering what Chu Yunxi said to her.
"Wantao, when we drink together later, if you use our wine, you will take the pills in the red bottle, which will make your cheeks swollen and disfigured. If we use the wine of Prince Dongyi, you will take the pills in the white bottle.
, it will poison you, don’t worry, it won’t hurt your life.”
Sister Yunxi's plans for her were all in vain. Her father was the one who controlled her destiny.
"Brother Crown Prince, do you have something to tell me?"
Seeing Princess Wantao lost her mind and weeping, Bai Xiao bowed and saluted.
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince, ask your subordinates to tell the princess not to do anything stupid."
Princess Wantao seemed unaware of the tears on her face and just nodded blankly.
"Thank you, the Crown Prince, for me."
Bai Xiao couldn't bear it and added another sentence.
"Eighth Princess, please believe that our master will help you overcome this difficulty."
Princess Wantao then looked up at Bai Xiao and handed him the white porcelain bottle in her hand.
"Please help me deal with this. Don't let others take advantage of it."
"Yes, my lord."
Bai Xiao took it with both hands and bowed again before retreating.
The palace maid brought the decoction prescribed by the imperial doctor.
"Princess, please drink this bowl of medicine. Only when your body recovers can you think of anything else."
Princess Wantao took it dully, thought about it, and drank the bitter decoction in one gulp.
Neither the Crown Prince nor Sister Yunxi have given up on her yet, and she cannot let those who care about her down.
"Wantao."
Concubine Rou held up her skirt and hurried in. She hugged the weak Princess Wantao into her arms, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Her daughter finally managed to survive Xiao Guifei's control, but she couldn't escape the fate of getting married, so what should she do?
"Concubine, please stop crying. The prince and the emperor have said that they will make the decision for me. I believe in the emperor."
"It's useless for me as a concubine. I can't protect you."
Concubine Rou blamed herself and hugged Princess Wantao tighter.
In the palace, some people were sad, some were anxious, some were watching the excitement, and some were determined to win, but on the surface it was still peaceful and orderly.
Chu Yunxi and others, who were admiring the lake view, were worried about Princess Wantao. They only played for half a day before deciding to return.
"Your Majesty!"
Jun Zifeng, who was about to mount his horse, was stunned for a moment, wondering how Princess Shengya, who had not bothered him throughout the whole process, would stop him at this time.
"Shengya, cousin, I'll wait for you in the carriage."
Chu Yunxi left voluntarily, leaving space for the three of them, which made Jun Zifeng even more confused. But he still smiled politely.
"Princess Shengya, Miss Su, what's the matter?"
Su Yan suddenly felt timid and panicked, but Princess Shengya asked the question without any hesitation.
"Your Majesty, I want to ask you, do you like me? Are you willing to get married with me?"
Su Yan nervously clutched her sweaty hands. If Jun Zifeng said he liked Princess Shengya, could she let go in a relaxed manner?
Jun Zifeng looked around and saw that there was no one around. They were all getting on the carriage and getting ready to set off. Even if he refused in person, it probably wouldn't hurt Princess Shengya's face, so he spoke carefully.
"Princess Shengya is a beautiful girl, but she is approachable and has a cheerful temperament. Zifeng admires the princess very much."
Su Yan on the side turned sideways to hide the pain in her heart. The prince was so satisfied with Princess Shengya. She was so talented and beautiful. She should bless them.
But Jun Zifeng’s next sentence was:
"But Zifeng already has someone in his heart, and he really doesn't dare to hide it from the princess."
Princess Shengya and Su Yan looked at Jun Zifeng in surprise at the same time. Is there someone in his heart?
Su Yan's heart beat even more panicked.
Princess Shengya felt a little lost and relieved. She couldn't explain why, but she didn't forget Su Yan who was about to hide behind her.
He pulled her out and pushed her in front of Jun Zifeng, almost bumping into Jun Zifeng.
"The person in your heart is her?"
Su Yan took a step back and was pushed back by Princess Shengya. She blushed, glanced at Jun Zifeng, and quickly avoided it. She had never expected to hear a definite answer from someone.
"How could Princess Shengya think so? Don't taint Miss Su's innocence. Miss Su and I have only met each other a few times."
Jun Zifeng's words were like a basin of cold water poured down, making Su Yan feel cold from head to toe.
"Princess, let's go."
Su Yan ran away, but Princess Shengya frowned.
"If you don't like me, and you don't like Su Yan, then who do you have in mind?"
