Nie Xin composed herself, squatted down, lifted her hat, and saw that it was actually A-Shu!
"Your face..."
Ashu looked grief-stricken and hurriedly wrapped a veil around her face to cover the scars.
Nie Xin bit her lip, having roughly guessed what was going on.
“This isn’t the place to talk.” He helped her up. “Come on, let’s find a quiet place to talk.”
Ashu trembled all over, as if she couldn't bear the light. She wrapped herself up in layers of hat and mask, following Nie Xin tremblingly.
The two went to a tea room outside.
Nie Xin cleared the room and asked the owner to bring Ashu a cup of milk tea, but Ashu instinctively flinched away as the owner placed the milk tea on the table.
Nie Xin frowned, thinking of the scars on her face.
“Young Master Xin…” Ashu calmed down, “I was captured by Prince Ya…”
Nie Xin's heart skipped a beat.
Actually, after the trial ended, the Yoon family sent people to protect Ashu and Ayu. Now that Queen Jiamin has been imprisoned, Ayu has managed to escape unscathed and withdraw from this vortex, so why is Ashu the one who...?
“Because my brother is still in the hospital.” Ashu’s voice trembled. “One day I went home to get some daily necessities, but I didn’t expect that Prince Ya’s people were waiting for me at home… I was careless that day and left my bodyguards at the hospital to watch over my brother. I didn’t have anyone with me, so that’s how… I was arrested.”
"And then?" Nie Xin's eyes narrowed slightly.
Ashu unveiled her face, and the bloodstains were shocking.
“It was all His Highness’s doing.” Tears streamed down her face. “His Highness made me do things for her. If I didn’t, she would inject me with drugs… I agreed to her request, and that’s how I escaped.”
Nie Xin immediately realized, "What did she ask you to do?"
Ashu took out the photos.
The two people in the photo are Huo Zhixing and He Jin.
Although the camera is far away, the two people are still easily recognizable. Moreover, the angle is particularly tricky; what should have been a perfectly normal hug is captured as if there is some ambiguous relationship between them...
Nie Xin was stunned for a moment, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.
But he remained calm and composed, smiling slightly: "That's it?"
“He Jin is very close to both the Nie and Yin families, and he’s also an alumnus of Huo Sanshao’s school. It’s perfectly reasonable for them to hang out sometimes! What can a few photos prove?”
"Young Master Xin, don't you... understand?"
Nie Xin was taken aback.
Ashu gave a few bitter smiles. "Actually, you know perfectly well what's going on between us, so there's no need to hide it. You know very well what kind of person Prince Jin is!"
"you……"
"If Prince Jin were to inherit the throne, he wouldn't be able to follow the proper procedures and marry a queen, would he? Besides, Southeast Asia is conservative, and it's impossible for them to accept such a monarch!"
"What do you mean by that?" Nie Xin's face darkened. "Are you saying that A Jin is not worthy of being king? Ha, whether he can be king or not is not for you to judge!"
"I know I'm not qualified, but that's exactly what I want to tell you today, Young Master Xin!" Ashu said emotionally. "This was all arranged by Prince Ya! She took these photos and then asked me to spread the news for her..."
Ashu took out her phone and scrolled through many accounts.
"His Highness made me register all of these, and he also asked me to hire a lot of online trolls to stir up public opinion online!"
"She wants everyone to know that Prince Jin is not a normal man! She wants to ruin Prince Jin!"
Nie Xin clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
“Young Master Xin, after I escaped, I wanted to find Miss Yin and Mr. Huo... but the Yin family is far away, and the tickets here are all registered under real names. If I take the train there, it will be easy for His Highness to track me down!”
"Later I heard that you, Young Master Xin, came to the palace with the General today, so I waited for you."
“Young Master Xin…” Ashu was in tears, “Princess Ya is ruthless, I can no longer be loyal to her! Now my only worry is my younger brother…”
"Don't worry." Nie Xin pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I'll have someone send you back in a bit. As for your brother, the Yin family has already sent people to protect him. He Ya wouldn't be so stupid as to harm him in the hospital."
Ashu looked at him gratefully and nodded gently.
However, just as they were about to leave, Nie Xin and A Shu's phones rang one after the other.
It's the sound of a news notification.
Exclusive scoop: Prince He Jin's relationship with the Third Young Master Huo of Yangcheng is ambiguous, and they may be having an affair?!
Nie Xin's hand trembled, and she almost dropped her phone.
Ashu's face changed drastically, turning as pale as paper. "It wasn't me...it wasn't me! I came to find you as soon as I escaped from Princess Ya! I swear on my brother's life, I didn't release this kind of information to any media!"
Nie Xin's expression darkened as she forced herself to calm down.
Within minutes, the news became a trending topic and was reprinted by major news websites, nearly crashing servers.
Comments flooded the internet like a torrent, and most of them were unfavorable to He Jin.
"So our Prince is actually gay? How can we tolerate this!"
"This is challenging the bottom line of Southeast Asia! We absolutely disagree with such a person becoming our king!"
"With such a scandal involving the royal family, what credibility and image do they have left? They should step down immediately!"
"We strongly demand a change of leadership! We don't want this kind of king!"
...
Nie Xin rushed to the Yin family's house as quickly as possible.
Jiang Can and Huo Zhixing had already seen the news. At this moment, the two of them were in the study, sitting around the computer, their cell phones ringing incessantly.
"Can Can, Zhi Xing, you..." Before Nie Xin could finish speaking, she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be another person on the sofa in the study.
"Ajin?!"
"What the hell!" Nie Xin exclaimed in surprise. "You still dare to come at this critical juncture? Do you think my sister and brother-in-law aren't messy enough already?"
He Jin pulled down the hood of his cloak, revealing his handsome face.
And that smile at the corner of his mouth...
Nie Xin swallowed hard.
If He Jin were in the entertainment industry, the title of "top beauty" might change.
"Hey, Actor Nie, even though we have a good relationship, you can't be so disrespectful! You still have to bow to me when you see me!"
"you……"
Nie Xin frowned and looked at Jiang Can and Huo Zhixing.
These people looked calm and confident, as if they had the whole situation under control.
He was confused.
"What do you mean?" Nie Xin realized, "Could this be a setup?"
The group of people exchanged glances and chuckled softly.
"What exactly happened?"
“Our PR team hasn’t calmed things down,” Jiang Can said calmly. “Letting this escalate might actually have some unexpected results.”
“Zhi Xing taught me before,” Jiang Can looked at her husband and smiled proudly, “Heaven will destroy a person first by making them arrogant.”
"So this statement couldn't be more fitting for Heya!"
“Oh…” Nie Xin understood. “So you’re clearing the last obstacle for A Jin?”
