The Dashing and Daring First Daughter: The Prince Is Blushing and His Heart Pounding

She was the youngest daughter of a century-old general's household, of noble status, cherished by her father and brothers, living a life of freedom and spontaneity. Yet, she was tragically murd...

Chapter 30: Never Give Up

The King of Chu asked.

No one spoke.

Neither Qing Yunyao nor the Queen spoke.

"Your Majesty, I saw it with my own eyes. There was no wound at all. The Queen and Yue-ya-tou also saw it. They are truly wrongly accusing me."

Concubine Feng said while sighing.

Once the emperor saw Qing Yunyao and the queen's expressions, what could he not guess?

Even Chu Yan felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

How is that possible?

Qin Shuo's testimony, Yue'er's description of the assassin's physique, and especially Feng Ling's bluffing and cover-up, all indirectly prove that the assassin is Qin Wan. But now, Qin Wan has no wounds? Could this all be just a coincidence? Or is it a trap set by Feng Ling?

Feng Ling narrowed her eyes slightly, and as expected...

Was this woman's medical skills truly superb? She could heal a wound overnight; he had never heard of that.

"Old Four, Yue girl, General Qing, this is probably just a misunderstanding. The assassin is someone else."

The King of Chu made the final decision.

It doesn't matter if it's uncertain, his innocence has been proven.

"Since it has been proven to be a misunderstanding, then Miss Yue and Prince You, shouldn't you apologize to this child?"

The one who was speaking was Concubine Feng. She was sitting on a sandalwood chair at the moment. She seemed to be in a much better mood, and her eyes were full of charming and seductive charm.

"Princess Yu, I apologize to you. I'm sorry, your daughter has wronged you. Please forgive me."

The first one to speak was Qing Leishan. He bowed and apologized in the direction of Qin Wan, taking responsibility for his actions.

He was eager to protect his daughter and believed what his daughter said, but since he had wronged her, he was the first to apologize.

Qing Yue endured the discomfort in her heart and finally raised her eyes to take a good look at her father. He was a little old, with white hair on his temples, but he still looked the same as she remembered.

This is his father. She really wants to rush over and hug him. Since she was a child, her father's arms have always been the most reliable and warmest.

But I can’t.

Qing Yue bit her tongue tightly, suppressing the tears that were welling up in her eyes. She said softly, "General Qing, please stand up. You love your daughter dearly. How could Qin Wan blame you?"

Qing Leishan felt a complicated feeling, a trace of guilt towards this little girl Qin Wan. Wasn't he forcing her just now? Now it was confirmed to be a misunderstanding, but she didn't pursue it.

He has lived an upright life, but now he feels uncomfortable.

"Thank you, Princess Yu."

Qing Leishan bowed.

Feng Ling's face suddenly darkened. Forgive him just like that? How come he didn't know that Qin Wan was such a good person?

Is this what she meant by sincerity?

"Yue girl."

Qing Leishan called out Qing Yunyao.

Qing Yunyao was still confused at the moment. She always felt that something was wrong, as if the result should not be like this, but at this moment it seemed that there was no other way except to apologize.

She pursed her lips, then stepped forward and said, "Sixth sister-in-law, Fourth sister-in-law apologizes to you here. I wrongly accused you... The assassin looked similar to you in both figure and clothing, and I was hit on the head and was dazed, so I misjudged him..."

Qin Wan didn't respond, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward.

"Sixth brother, sixth sister-in-law, this matter is my fault."

Chu Yan also stood up and bowed in the direction of Feng Ling and Qin Wan.

He had basically confirmed that Qin Wan was the assassin, and he had expected Feng Ling to find a way, but he never expected that there was no wound at all, not even the shoulder blade was injured. This was completely beyond his expectations.

Qin Wan still didn't respond, and didn't even raise his eyes.

"Fourth Brother, is it enough to just apologize?"

At this moment, Feng Ling spoke coldly. His tone was extremely sarcastic and full of boundless coldness.

"Jinzhi."

Emperor Chu shouted, but Feng Ling raised his eyebrows and looked at his father, "Father, please don't worry about it. This is a matter between me and my fourth brother."

"Fourth Brother, do you still remember the harsh words you said when you came to my brother's house yesterday?"

Feng Ling asked.

His tone was chilling, like a wild beast awakening, staring at Chu Yan fiercely.

"Of course I remember."

Chu Yan spoke, and even at this moment, he did not show any signs of panic.

He is a very cunning person and is very cruel to himself.

Qing Yue knew what they were talking about. If she was wronged, Chu Yan would cut off his own hand.

She...

This is the moment I've been waiting for.

I have endured so much suffering and pain just for this moment.

Then Feng Ling took out a dagger from his body, with a jewel-studded scabbard, and pulled it out in a flash. The blade was sharp and emitted a cold light.

"Jinzhi, what are you doing?"

The King of Chu frowned and asked, his son actually took out a dagger in front of him, it was really lawless.

This action also frightened others.

"Prince Yu is truly bold, pulling out a dagger right in front of your father. What do you want to do?"

The queen asked coldly, her face tense.

"Jinzhi, what are you doing? Put the dagger away quickly."

Concubine Feng quickly covered her chest with her hands. She was terrified. She had just been feeling great because she had defeated the Queen, but now she was so frightened that she almost fainted.

"Yesterday, Fourth Brother led his men into my residence, insisting that my princess was an assassin. He threatened that if they wrongly accused my princess, he would cut off one of his hands. Fourth Brother has already agreed to this. I gave him a chance, saying that they had wrongly accused her, but he refused to believe me and insisted on bringing the matter to the attention of Father, even asking General Qing to intervene. Now it's time for Fourth Brother to fulfill his promise."

Feng Ling threw the dagger in his hand towards Chu Yan, and it landed right at his feet.

"Jinzhi, you are making trouble."

"No."

The Emperor and the Empress spoke at the same time.

The queen's face changed. How could her son cut off his own hand over such a trivial matter? What a joke!

Even the Emperor rebuked them. There had to be a limit to their nonsense. How could word of a prince's having his hand cut off be allowed to get out? Furthermore, since they already knew it was a misunderstanding and had apologized, they could just let it go. How could the two brothers escalate to the point of killing each other?

"Father, I am not making trouble. I just want justice. Since Fourth Prince has agreed, then naturally I should do it. Or should I allow myself to be insulted just because my leg is broken?

My son's princess was wrongly accused, forced to come to my house, entered the palace, took off her clothes to prove her innocence, and in the end, she only got a light apology? "

What Feng Ling said really hurt his heart, hurting the emperor and his own heart.

"Jinzhi, your fourth brother was wrong to have wronged your princess, but he was also worried about his wife. Besides, he's already apologized. Now you're forcing him to cut off one of his hands. You know that's unrealistic. If word gets out, what will people say about you? How will you let your fourth brother live in the future?"

The King of Chu said.

"Why can't I live with a broken arm? I broke both legs, but I'm still alive and well, aren't I? Father, I'm making this clear today. If Chu Yan doesn't break his arm today, I won't give up."
