In the solemn court, Dongfang Qinyin stood in front of everyone. Suddenly, the impeachment order was issued, exploding like thunder. This hard-won position of crown prince, the position of the prince who was second only to the emperor, was actually handed over to a young man who had been here for less than two months!
This is simply unbelievable and totally unreasonable. Dongfang Qinyin's ability is not a problem. She is diligent in handling state affairs and considerate of the people and officials. This kind of role model image of the prince is unexpectedly taken away from her status as the crown prince so easily without any warning. No one can accept this and will collapse instantly.
Several ministers who were originally standing beside Dongfang Qinyin also stood up at this time, expressing indignation at the unfair treatment of the princess. They argued that such a decision was too hasty and inhumane.
However, facing everyone's doubts and dissatisfaction, Dongfang Xiong seemed to be out of the picture and turned a blind eye to it all. It is estimated that in his heart, he did not consider her feelings and thoughts at all.
He believed that women should be content to take care of their husbands and children, instead of fighting for power in the court and trying to become an empress.
This incident was undoubtedly a huge blow to Dongfang Qinyin. When she learned the whole story, she was stunned. She seemed to have lost all her strength, and silently returned to her palace, locking herself tightly inside, not seeing anyone.
Now, Dongfang Qinyin even refused to eat, as if she was expressing her protest and stubbornness in this silent way.
After Xiao Ning understood the truth of the whole matter, his eyes were filled with indignation and unwillingness.
"You old thing, we worked so hard to save you, but you completely forgot about it in just a few months. The emperor is truly the most ruthless!"
Dongfang Qinyin lowered her head, her heart already deeply hurt by her father. She had never been interested in the throne at first, and she was purely forced to take on the position of crown prince.
However, just when she figured it out and was planning to make great plans to seek benefits for this country and its people, the biased Dongfang Xiong actually abolished her without even the intention of negotiating with her.
Based on this alone, Dongfang Qinyin felt how biased and ruthless this father was.
Xiao Ning looked at the depressed princess with his heart full of pity. He put his hand on her shoulder and said sincerely.
"Princess, your father is really too much. I will definitely help you get justice!"
Dongfang Qinyin saw Xiao Ning's indignant look as he stood up for herself, and that voice flowed into her heart like a warm current.
After a moment of silence, Dongfang Qinyin shook her head, apparently rejecting Xiao Ning's feelings.
"Ning'er, thank you, but I don't want you to take any risks in this matter. Father is the ruler of a country. If you go against him, you are undoubtedly going against the entire Dagan. It's like hitting a rock with an egg. Even if Aunt Chu and Uncle Xiao are powerful cultivators, they can't completely get away with it."
Dongfang Qinyin spoke out her worries. She didn't want Xiao Ning to take risks for her again. To avenge her mother, she already owed him such a big favor. She didn't want to, and shouldn't...
Xiao Ning also understood Dongfang Qinyin's thoughts. To put it in a big way, this matter was about the fight for the throne among their royal family. To put it in a small way, it was about Dongfang Xiong's unfairness to his children!
However, Dongfang Qinyin had already told Xiao Ning not to get involved in this matter. It was not easy for him to intervene any more. After all, Dongfang Xiong was still Dongfang Qinyin's father, and he couldn't just kill him with a sword.
Xiao Ning took a deep breath and began to think about how to solve this problem, but he couldn't find a perfect answer. He slowly raised his head and looked at Dongfang Qinyin with gentle eyes.
At this moment, her beautiful face, which was originally stunningly beautiful, revealed a heartbreaking sadness. The sadness was as turbulent as the tide, which moved people and made them feel that she was extremely beautiful.
At this moment, Dongfang Qinyin seemed to feel Xiao Ning's gaze. She trembled slightly, and the moment her eyes met Xiao Ning's, it was as if an electric current ran through her body.
She was surprised to find that the moment she looked into Xiao Ning's eyes, an inexplicable sense of happiness came over her like a spring breeze, dispelling the haze in her heart and making her forget all her worries and sorrows.
The two of them just stared at each other quietly, and time seemed to freeze at this moment. No one spoke, only their eyes met, conveying thousands of words.
After an unknown amount of time, Dongfang Qinyin seemed to have made up her mind suddenly. She slowly raised her soft and boneless jade hand and tightly grasped Xiao Ning's hand. Her hand trembled slightly, as if she was mustering up her last bit of courage. Then she took a deep breath and finally spoke:
"Ning'er, please take me away! I don't want to be a princess anymore, nor do I want to be an empress. Now, my mother and brother have left me, and even my father... he is full of prejudice against me. This palace has no meaning to me anymore."
Her voice was choked with sobs, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. Then, she took a deep breath and continued:
"Ning'er, take me away. I want to go back to Yongning City, back to the Xiao Mansion. I can feel that this is my home. Only there can I feel the warmth of home. More importantly, I want to go back to you. Only you can give me true happiness."
Dongfang Qinyin's confession was like a beautiful melody, flowing into Xiao Ning's mind. The voice was so beautiful that he almost didn't hesitate at all. He quickly stretched out his arms and hugged Dongfang Qinyin's weak body tightly.
He gently stroked her silky hair, feeling the delicate touch of her hair. Then, he said in a very serious tone:
"Qin Yin, are you really willing to leave with me? As long as you nod, I will take you away immediately and take you away from this palace full of intrigue!"
Dongfang Qinyin’s body trembled slightly, but her voice was unusually firm: “Yeah! Ning’er, I am willing, I am willing to go with you, I am willing!”
Although her voice was trembling, the determination in it was too strong to ignore. She decided to live for herself, put aside all the complicated things, no longer care about the peace of the world, and no longer care about the vicissitudes of life. Her only wish was to be with the one she loved.
Xiao Ning stood up without hesitation, and held Dongfang Qinyin tightly in his arms with his strong arms. Then, he ran out of the window like a gust of wind. Their figures passed quickly like meteors in the night sky, and finally disappeared in the endless night.
