Zhou Ming has just returned home.

A slap came right in front of me!

It comes from the Zhou king.

"What good deeds have you been up to outside?!" King Zhou demanded.

"It's one thing for you to disguise yourself as someone else and go to brothels all the time!"

"I never knew you had such a fetish!"

"You're rubbing the late emperor's face under your feet!"

"Where do you expect the Emperor's dignity to be displayed?!"

Zhou Ming hung his head.

He mumbled something.

"Father, I just drank too much and acted recklessly while drunk."

"I don't usually have such a habit!"

King Zhou rebuked him sternly!

"You're talking nonsense! Even if it was a case of drunken promiscuity, the person you were with should have been a woman!"

"Your body's instincts would make you very resistant to men, but you actually accepted!"

"And there were nearly ten people! You have quite the appetite!"

"Your ass is truly all-encompassing!"

Zhou Ming was speechless after being scolded by King Zhou.

"Father, what should I do?"

"What else can we do?!"

"Right now, Ye Pianpian will definitely go to the Emperor to plead for the late Emperor to rescind his decree!"

"She can't possibly let herself be left alone after marrying you!"

Zhou Ming thought for a moment.

"Then, I'll go find the Emperor now and explain this matter clearly!"

"Can you explain yourself clearly?! Everything has already been seen through!"

"I... I can say that I was framed by someone!" Zhou Ming immediately went to the palace.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Ye Pianpian was kneeling in front of Ye Ling.

I beg Ye Ling to dissolve the engagement.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm unwilling to marry Young Master Zhou."

"It's not that Young Master Zhou's mind is on me, or more accurately, on women."

"Since that's the case, let's grant his wish. I won't discriminate against Young Master Zhou, nor will I speak ill of him behind his back."

"Everyone has the right to bravely pursue love."

Ye Ling, of course, knew what had happened.

Zhou Ming definitely doesn't have any such quirks.

This was all arranged by Xu Qingzhi.

Ye Ling sighed inwardly.

She is indeed the most courageous and resourceful of all my concubines.

This plan is truly insidious!

This left the Zhou family speechless.

We can only honestly accept reality.

Gao Yong walked in.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Ming requests an audience."

"Announce."

Perfect.

Ye Ling took advantage of this opportunity.

The engagement between Ye Pianpian and Zhou Ming was dissolved in a reasonable and justifiable manner.

In a way, he saved his cousin's happiness.

Zhou Ming walked in quickly.

After seeing Ye Pianpian.

He paused, stunned.

He immediately knelt before the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

Ye Ling asked deliberately.

What are you referring to?

"Yes, it was in the brothel, with those men—"

"Oh, it's alright. I respect your orientation, and so does Pianpian."

"Just now, I decided to annul your engagement with Pianpian. From now on, you are free."

"You can now freely pursue what you love."

"You can go somewhere where nobody knows you and live your happy lives."

"No, no, no, Your Majesty!" Zhou Ming immediately said.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty loves Pianpian!"

"I have always wanted to marry Pianpian!"

"I must have been framed last night!"

"Someone must be trying to prevent me from marrying Pianpian and has deliberately set me up!"

"Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Ye Ling inwardly scoffed.

Tsk tsk tsk.

They're quite smart.

I know you were framed.

That's right, I know you were framed.

The person who wronged you knows better than anyone how wronged you are.

I am one of them.

Since I was the instigator, how could I possibly be aware of the truth?

Isn't this tantamount to asking, "Who are you here? Why are you suing me?"

How could I possibly lift a rock only to drop it on my own foot!

As for keen observation.

Hehehe.

Of course, I couldn't possibly know the whole story.

I can just make up any excuse to get rid of you.

This is a trick that corrupt officials often use.

Today, I will also use it.

but.

I have resorted to this desperate measure today in order to save my sister's happiness.

I am not despicable.

I must say that I am wise!

then.

Ye Ling said.

"The facts are right before my eyes. You ask me to investigate, but where do I even begin?"

“Zhou Ming, you are the son of the King of Zhou. The status of a young prince is an unparalleled honor.”

"It is already improper for you to disguise yourself as someone else and go to a brothel."

"Based on this alone, I can cancel your engagement with Pianpian."

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, I was just confused for a moment. I will never dare to do it again. Please give me a chance to make amends!"

Zhou Ming looked at Ye Pianpian as he spoke.

"Pianpian, give me a chance, and I will prove how much I love you!"

As he spoke, Zhou Ming reached out to take Ye Pianpian's hand.

Ye Pianpian immediately shook her off.

"Zhou Ming, please have some self-respect."

"I don't want to say much about what happened at the brothel last night."

"I'll grant you your love; I don't want to be just a decoration after the wedding!"

Let's let each other go!

Zhou Ming shook his head like a rattle drum.
