"Princess Snow, where did you go last night? What happened?" an elder soon asked.
"Yesterday I was in the palace, and I was about to leave when the Crown Prince asked me to discuss something with him under the pretext of my father's affairs. So I went with him, but who knew that he was a beast..." Qiao Xueying recounted the events of yesterday while sobbing.
We can give a different story to outsiders, but we must tell the truth to the core power structure of the Elven race, lest incorrect information mislead them into making wrong judgments.
Xue'er was already pitiful, and her crying, with tears streaming down her face, was truly heartbreaking to see. Many elders angrily cursed, "This is outrageous! Who would have thought that the dignified prince of the demon race would be so despicable!"
"Imprisoning the Elf King under false pretenses was already excessive, but I never expected them to be so utterly shameless this time!"
"The royal family is truly getting worse with each generation. If someone like this ascends to the throne, won't the demon race be ruined under his rule?"
...
A group of people angrily cursed for a long time, while a female elder held Qiao Xueying and kept comforting her. When she found an opportunity, she asked, "Xue'er, how did you leave the palace? And how were you cured of the poison?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Qiao Xueying.
Xue'er wiped away her tears and replied, "Yesterday, at a critical moment, a mysterious person suddenly appeared to assassinate the Crown Prince, but was..."
After the prince's skilled guards stopped him, he casually kidnapped me. Later, I lost consciousness and woke up this morning near the Elf King's palace.
The elders were all shocked: "Wasn't that assassin bullying you?"
Xue'er blushed: "What are you thinking, elders? No one bullied me. I don't know how he cured the poison in my body."
Seeing that there was no trace of sorrow on her face, unlike the reaction of a girl who had just been ravaged, the crowd believed her words.
A group of elders began to discuss:
"Who exactly is that assassin, and why did he save Princess Snow?"
"Could he be a former friend of the Elf King?"
"But there's no reason for the Elf King's friends to assassinate the Crown Prince."
...
At this moment, another elder frowned and said, "Compared to these things, I am more worried that when the palace learns that Princess Snow has returned, they might associate our elves with the assassins."
The elders fell silent, all growing worried.
The female elder scolded again, "What are you all so cowardly about? It was clearly Xue'er who was bullied this time. If anyone should settle scores, it should be us who go to the Crown Prince. When did it become their place to question us? Just send Xue'er's words to the palace and have the Crown Prince give an explanation. We, the dignified Elven royal family, are not the kind of people who are slaughtered by others."
Although some people still held different opinions, this view was accepted by the majority, so the Elf Royal Palace quickly took action.
Xue'er was somewhat surprised, thinking that everything was just as the Little Demon Queen had predicted; this woman's insight into human nature was simply terrifying.
Meanwhile, Old Wu hurriedly returned to the palace, and as soon as he entered, he saw the Crown Prince smash the medicine bowl on the ground.
Old Wu frowned: "Your Highness, what has angered you so much?"
Prince Jinwu's face turned ashen: "We just received intelligence that Princess Xue has returned to the Elf King's Palace, and the people from the Elf King's Palace have even sent people to interrogate us!"
"What?" Old Wu exclaimed in surprise. "How dare they? What about the assassin?"
"Princess Snow claimed she was unconscious and knew nothing, and when she woke up it was already dawn..." Prince Jinwu recounted the story. "That bitch is definitely not telling the truth. She must have been defiled last night, but I can't make it public. It's infuriating!"
Old Wu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Crown Prince hadn't lost his temper. Otherwise, if yesterday's events were to get out, it would definitely be a huge scandal for the royal family, and might even lead to a complete break between the Golden Crow Clan and the Elf Clan.
“This woman is no longer pure and is unworthy to be my Crown Princess,” Crown Prince Jinwu said, his teeth chattering. “Find a way to inform the Peacock Royal Family and have Kong Nanwu return to me. She will be my Crown Princess. Also, send some experts to the human realm to fetch her and forbid any man from getting close to her.”
Once bitten, twice shy; he had to have his men keep an eye on Kong Nanwu to ensure her chastity.
Old Wu nodded: "Okay!"
Prince Jinwu stood up: "Queen Medusa has been captured! I'm burning with rage right now, I'll vent it all on her!"
