Chapter 83 Pretending to be a Couple
Until Xiao Dezi left, Princess Mingzhu was still kneeling on the ground in a daze. She still couldn't understand why.
Why did Emperor Liang treat himself like this?
Looking at Princess Mingzhu's painful expression, Lin Xiaoyue felt that plans really couldn't keep up with changes. After something like this happened, she couldn't just leave!
"Princess, Xiao Dezi is gone. The ground is so cold. You should get up quickly! We'll be there if anything happens. I'm not going back. I have to find out what Jingyi and Emperor Liang are up to!"
Lin Xiaoyue walked over and helped Princess Mingzhu up with heartache.
Princess Mingzhu leaned on Lin Xiaoyue's shoulder and cried bitterly, "Why do you treat my Jiacheng like this? What qualifications does a woman like Jingyi have to enter my house? I absolutely do not agree to this marriage. I will go to the palace to see the emperor right now. Even if it costs me my life, I will make the emperor rescind his decision!"
Lin Xiaoyue grabbed Princess Mingzhu, who was about to leave, and stopped her, saying, "Princess, I think we shouldn't act rashly for now! Firstly, even if you succeed in stopping him this time, there's no guarantee that Emperor Liang will do something weird next time. Princess, you only have one life, how many times can you stop him? Secondly, Jingyi is spoiled and has no brains. If Emperor Liang can use her, why can't we? And if you get married, you can inherit the title, which is not a loss!"
Princess Mingzhu's eyes flashed, and she excitedly took Lin Xiaoyue's hand and said, "Yes, you are right! Why didn't I think of it? Mu Yao, you are so smart! Maybe Emperor Liang just wants to provoke me and force me to go to the palace to beg him!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "That's possible, but it's also possible that he wants Jingyi to marry in and serve as his spies. But no matter what, even if you stop Jingyi, Emperor Liang will still look for girls from other families. If someone smarter and more capable comes along, it will be disadvantageous to you!"
Princess Mingzhu sighed. She was just a princess with a mere title. Although Jiacheng was stationed at the border, no matter how high her rank was, she was never given military power. Emperor Liang was so wary of her, so why was he still so worried?
"Then let's fight back! You'd better not stay in the capital. Leave at dawn tomorrow. Emperor Liang no longer trusts me. Staying here will only put you in greater danger! Jingyao must not be in any danger!"
Lin Xiaoyue asked worriedly, "But the biggest question now is how Jingyi managed to turn things around in such a short time? What kind of deal did she make with Emperor Liang? We can leave at any time, but can you handle it alone?"
Princess Mingzhu waved her fist and said angrily, "Jingyi is a princess from another family, and I'm afraid of her? I'll wait here for her and see what kind of evil she can do! You listen to me and leave tomorrow morning!"
Seeing the princess's insistence, Lin Xiaoyue had no choice but to agree: "Okay, then we'll leave at dawn tomorrow. Princess, if you have any problems, don't keep them to yourself. We will come to help you!"
Princess Mingzhu was moved and rubbed Lin Xiaoyue's head, "Well, don't worry!"
That night, no one in the Princess's Mansion could sleep. It seemed as if a net was closing in on them, and no one could predict what would happen next.
The next day, it was still dawn when Lin Xiaoyue and Liang Jingyao left through a small door. Princess Mingzhu did not come out to see them off, but went directly into the palace to visit the empress dowager.
On the way back to Yangming Town, Lin Xiaoyue was uneasy. She always felt that something was going to happen.
Seeing her frowning and silent, Liang Jingyao asked worriedly, "Yue'er, what's wrong with you? Did you get up too early? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Xiaoyue shook her head and irritably opened the curtain to look outside. The cool autumn breeze blew on her face. She felt that her mind was not much clearer, and she was still confused and confused. "No, I just feel upset. I don't know why."
Liang Jingyao felt distressed and guilty. These things had nothing to do with Yue'er, but now he dragged her into it. "I'm sorry, it's my fault. You could have lived a carefree life in the valley. How about I send someone to take you to Dongdan? It's safe there, and it's snowing now, so you can go there and see the snowy scenery."
How could Lin Xiaoyue be willing to live alone? She felt that although she didn't want to cause trouble, she wasn't someone who didn't care about her loyalty. She was able to stay and settle down in the valley thanks to Brother Liang.
"Brother Liang, you're being selfish. You and the Princess have both done me a favor. It's neither right nor wrong for me to hide. Don't mention this again. I won't run away alone!"
Although Liang Jingyao was touched, he still didn't want Lin Xiaoyue to take risks. He suggested, "From now on, you should live in the valley and don't go out. It's the safest place. I promise to tell you any news as soon as possible."
Lin Xiaoyue disagreed. Just when she was about to continue persuading Liang Jingyao, the carriage stopped. Then, Yao Jinheng walked into the carriage in a panic.
Seeing that Yao Jinheng looked uneasy, Lin Xiaoyue felt nervous. Did something happen outside?
Yao Jinheng said hurriedly, "Oh no, Boss! There's news coming in from the front that there are many more guards from the palace in Yangming Town. It's very likely that Emperor Liang knows where you live!"
Lin Xiaoyue and Liang Jingyao looked at each other and said in unison: "It's Jingyi!"
Yao Jinheng continued, "Boss, you can't go back to the valley for the time being. There might be people sent by Emperor Liang in the valley!"
Liang Jingyao knew that he would leave Zhan Ying to watch the house when he went out. If there was anything unusual in the valley, Zhan Ying would definitely send someone to deliver a message. However, he had not received any message from Zhan Ying from yesterday to today. This could only mean that Jingyi did not tell Emperor Liang the specific location. It seemed that Jingyi still wanted to continue to use this to control Emperor Liang!
If that's the case, Liang Jingyao said, "Let's open a branch in Yangming Town right away! Yue'er, I'll have to ask you to stay in the inn for the time being."
Lin Xiaoyue asked in confusion, "Shouldn't we leave Yangming Town? Why do you want to stay here and open a branch?"
Liang Jingyao explained, "Emperor Liang has always known that the eldest princess and I have a good relationship. If Jingyi used my information to exchange for her princess title, it means that Emperor Liang only wants to arrest me. As long as we don't show up in the capital, Emperor Liang can't use this to accuse the eldest princess. We can pretend to be a couple and open a branch in Yangming Town. If we make a big fuss, Emperor Liang will stop keeping an eye on the eldest princess."
Lin Xiaoyue's eyes widened. Pretending to be a couple?
Brother Liang has become a bad person!
She said disapprovingly, "I'm the owner of the branch, why should I pretend to be a couple? I don't agree!"
