Chapter 383 I simply cannot understand

Su Ying paused in eating the watermelon and glanced at Xiao Jin. She felt that this boy must be more cunning than the mountain road.

Xiao Jin simply ignored King Yu's stunned look and stretched out his hand to let Zhang Shuming come forward to draft the imperial edict.

Xiao Jin waved his wolf hair brush and wrote the imperial edict himself.

"Princess Pingling, please accept the order." Zhang Shuming deliberately raised his shrill voice, which made Princess Pingling shudder.

"I, I don't want it, I... Queen, you said you would help me, you said you would help me escape, you even gave me your jade token, you lied to me!"

Princess Pingling took out the jade token from her body and threw it on the ground. She stared at Su Ying with an accusing look on her face, almost gritting her teeth, "You are jealous and don't want me to enter the palace, so you pretended to help me escape from the palace so that no one in the harem would compete with you for favor. But not only did you not let me escape, you also asked the emperor to marry me to the third prince. Are you satisfied now? You jealous woman!"

Xiao Jin's eyebrows sank, and anger rose from his eyes, "How dare you!"

Su Ying threw the melon rind into the tray, slowly stood up and looked down at the resentful Princess Pingling, "Where is the evidence?"

Princess Pingling pointed to the jade token on the ground and said, "The evidence is that jade token. You gave it to me and said that as long as I had the jade token, I could leave the palace smoothly!"

Zhang Shuming took small steps forward, picked up the jade token on the ground and looked at it carefully. "Oh, isn't this the jade token that I lost? How did it end up in your hands? I was wondering who would be so bold to come to the palace to steal. Princess, when you were hiding in the palace last night, did you run into my room?"

Princess Pingling turned pale, "This is impossible, this is what the Queen gave me!"

Zhang Shuming raised the jade token in his hand and said, "I didn't lie to you. Look, I have another one exactly the same on my body. This is really... How could the princess run into my room so late at night?"

As Zhang Shuming spoke, a shy smile appeared on his face.

A princess of another country ran to the eunuch's room late at night. If this matter gets out, Princess Pingling will die!

Princess Pingling screamed, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

"Imperial sister, imperial sister!" Prince Yu also realized that the current situation was not right, and hurried forward to take Princess Pingling away.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know a little bit about medicine, so let me take a look at the princess."

Before Prince Yu could say no, Su Ying's hand pinched Princess Pingling's palm.

"Ah!" Princess Pingling screamed in pain and jumped up from the ground. She didn't look like she was fainting or dying just now at all.

Zhang Shuming smiled and handed the imperial edict to Princess Pingling, "Princess, would you please accept the edict first?"

Princess Pingling's eyes turned red with anger when she saw the imperial edict, but she had to grit her teeth and take it. At this point she realized that Su Ying had tricked her!

This bitch, she will make her pay sooner or later.

"Don't look at me like that, or I'll dig your eyes out."

When Princess Pingling met Su Ying's cold eyes, she subconsciously shrank her neck. She could only grit her teeth, thank him, and leave with King Yu in embarrassment.

After the two left, Xiao Jin drafted an imperial edict and asked Zhang Shuming to deliver it to the third prince.

After Zhang Shuming took the imperial edict and left, only Xiao Jin and Su Ying were left in the hall.

Xiao Jin stood up and walked to Su Ying and whispered, "Is what she said about being jealous true?"

Su Ying raised her eyebrows, "What is it?"

"She said you were jealous, and I think that's true."

Su Ying reached out and patted his dragon robe which was spotless, "No."

Xiao Jin's dark eyes darkened slightly, "No?"

Su Ying grinned, "You are the jealous one."

Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows, "I must admit this."

"shameless."

Xiao Jin sneered. He had already knelt on the washboard, so how could he still have the face to do that!

"You go ahead, I'm going back."

"Wait for me to have dinner with you tonight."

"knew."

Lin Zhuyu followed Su Ying out of the hall happily. She endured it all the way. When she returned to Fengluan Palace, she couldn't help asking, "Good Queen, please tell me what's going on. When was the jade queen given to Princess Pingling? I knew she was not a good person!"

"How do you know she doesn't look like a good person?"

Lin Zhuyu got excited when she heard Su Ying's question. "Women's intuition! She's still begging to leave the city. It's obvious that she wants you, the Queen, to lower your guard against her, and then find an opportunity to enter the palace. I guess she might even call her the Queen's sister and take the opportunity to ascend to the throne! Ha, tui!"

Su Ying couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. When it comes to figuring out the complicated minds of women, Lin Zhuyu is definitely an expert.

Lin Zhuyu's guess became even more exciting when Su Ying recognized it. "Does the Queen think what I said is right?"

Originally, she just wanted to see what Princess Pingling's ultimate goal was, wondering if there were any high-level people in the Southern Kingdom. She didn't expect that after going around in circles, she just wanted to enter Xiao Jin's harem. She simply couldn't understand it.

Judging from Princess Pingling's reaction in the hall and her unanimous agreement with Prince Yu, Lin Zhuyu's guess was most likely correct.

"You're right. Let Uncle He give you some chicken thighs tonight."

"Hey, thank you, Queen."

Bai Shuang was a little confused. "Since she is here for marriage, why doesn't she just ask to enter the harem? Why does she have to go through so many twists and turns?"

Lin Zhuyu rolled her eyes at her and said, "You don't know how powerful the Queen's reputation is outside. Isn't it because you are afraid that the Queen won't agree, so you are being clever and want to open up the way for the Queen first?"

"Then there's no need to say that you have someone outside."

"It would be better to say that I have someone else outside so that the queen can let down her guard. Otherwise, why would she go to so much trouble?"

Bai Shuang shrugged, indicating that she didn't understand.

Su Ying didn't understand either.

Wouldn't the Southern Kingdom be so stupid as to think that by allowing a princess to enter the harem, the friendship between the two countries would last forever?

Between countries, the only thing they talk about is interests.

She thought that Princess Pingling's intention to marry Xiao Jin was fake, and her real intention was to be a spy. After all, this was a legitimate opportunity to stay, so how could she not cherish it?

Unfortunately, their calculations were wrong.

The South’s calculations were indeed wrong, because they overestimated themselves and underestimated others.

After Princess Pingling returned to the palace, she rushed to the mirror and looked at her youthful, pitiful face. She couldn't understand why Xiao Jin felt no pity when he saw her like this. This was completely different from what they had imagined!

"You idiot, it must be because you didn't do it well that Su Ying became suspicious!" Prince Yu raised his hand to hit Princess Pingling in the face, but Princess Pingling suddenly stood up and grabbed his wrist.

A pair of eyes stared at him coldly like a snake or scorpion.

“Don’t forget who you are.”
