Chapter 399 I have fallen in love with you a long time ago, and I regret it!
Zhou Ruier grabbed the man's sleeve, but was pushed away. She knelt on the ground and said pitifully, "Your Highness, I am innocent. I really didn't harm the Crown Princess. It was my father, it was my father..."
"Shut up!" Xu Qihuai scolded, "You and the Prime Minister both have the surname Zhou, you are one family."
Zhou Ruier panicked. She knew that the winner would be the king and the loser would be the bandit. But she regretted it. She held the prince's legs tightly. Even though her chest hurt from being kicked, she didn't care. She screamed heartbreakingly.
"Your Highness, listen to me. I was used by my father and I harbor hatred towards the Crown Princess. Before I married you, my father told me to obey him. But after spending these past few months with you, I've already fallen in love with you. I regret it!"
Inside the hall, the woman was crying bitterly.
The man's face was cold, and he didn't care about her confession at all. He pinched her chin and said, "I thought you were obedient, and it's rare to meet someone kind... Oh, whatever, it was all fake. Zhou Rui'er, I'll leave you with an intact body as my last act of mercy."
He took one last look at the venomous snake with its terrifying pattern.
He staggered out of the hall quickly.
Zhou Ruier ran out, tears falling, and shouted, "Your Highness, I have been saved by Concubine Xi. You cannot kill me, otherwise you will be disobeying the emperor's order."
Xu Qihuai paused, his whole body emitting a cold air.
He tilted his head and gave instructions to the butler.
"Wrap the venomous snake around her and take her for a walk around Shengjing City. After that, take her to the palace. The Crown Prince's Mansion cannot tolerate such a vicious woman."
Then, I thought of Maner and my son.
Finally, a smile appeared on her face: "Clean up the main hall. I'm going to take the Crown Princess and Shuo'er back home."
Zhou Ruier knelt on the ground, her limbs went limp, and she shed tears of regret.
She held her face in her hands and sobbed, "Your Highness, I really know I was wrong."
She entered the palace, acted humble and submissive, drove away the concubine, and then schemed herself away. It was really a good thing for that foolish Crown Princess who didn't fight or compete. Why should she be someone else's wedding dress?
a long time.
A bland voice sounded above my head.
"Zhou Ruier, let's go."
Zhou Ruier raised her head and saw the guards wrapping a snake around her. She struggled but was pinned to the ground. The guards were forcibly holding the snake. She got goose bumps all over her body. "Let me go! I don't want to leave!"
People are coming and going on the street.
When they saw Zhou Ruier like this, they brought up the incident from half a month ago. At this point, those radicals who had received favors from the Crown Princess all threw rotten eggs at the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion came out, they all dispersed.
In the Queen's Palace, there were bursts of children crying.
Xu Qihuai looked at his little son, his heart aching. He coaxed him, "Shuo'er, my dear Shuo'er, don't cry. Your father is back and will definitely protect you well."
This is his first child.
When he said the word "father", he felt secretly happy and even showed a hint of embarrassment.
Qiu Ying raised her lips and said, "Your Highness, please let him go back. Shuo'er is still very weak. Miss Jiu and Young Master Jiang are getting married tomorrow, and I want to go too."
Xu Qihuai put the child down, walked over to Qiu Ying, put his arm around her waist, and said worriedly, "You're still very weak. Even if you don't go, they won't have any grudges in their hearts."
Qiu Ying naturally knew the benefits of long-lasting food.
But thinking of that perfect couple, the corners of her mouth curled up, and her expression was gentle as she said, "I want to go and share in the good fortune. Moreover, if we all go, it would be a sign of respect for Miss Jiu. The prince has been appointed a general and has gone to Mobei. Does Your Highness know about this?"
Xu Qihuai's eyes flickered slightly, "I heard about it when I returned to Shengjing."
Qiu Ying rested her chin on his shoulder, her arms around his waist, and said soothingly, "I will definitely maintain good relations with Miss Jiu and the others, and help Your Highness resolve his worries and difficulties."
In the mansion, she was the only woman left by accident.
You always have to think about something to be worthy of your current status.
Xu Qihuai pursed his lips, his brows showing fatigue. "Ying'er, it's great to have you. You are obviously the Crown Princess, but you still have to lower yourself and mingle with them."
Qiu Ying thought so too.
The Crown Princess holds a high position and should be superior.
"But Your Highness, don't you think that being with them makes you happy, even if your vanity isn't satisfied? They are always sincere, gentle, and kind, making me feel that the world has become a little more compassionate."
"Yes." Xu Qihuai breathed a sigh of relief, lay in her arms, and gradually fell asleep.
During the more than one month he went south, he was not even a prince, he was not even a human being. The prince was rejected countless times. It’s okay, everything has passed.
They are dead.
He is still alive.
Moreover, he also gained a calm and composed 'inner' quality.
Half an hour later, bursts of fragrance filled the bedroom.
Xu Qihuai hadn't slept so soundly for a long time. When he sat up, he saw the Crown Princess holding Jiashuo, and his mother was sitting upright beside them.
As far as I can remember, my mother only behaved like this when something big happened.
He didn't dare to be stunned for any longer, so he immediately stood up and knelt on the ground to salute.
"Your son greets your mother."
Empress Xu said calmly, "Have you seen everything that happened in the Crown Prince's Mansion?"
"Yes." Xu Qihuai bowed deeply again, "I am grateful to my mother for saving Ying'er and Shuo'er."
Empress Xu looked at the obedient prince with a deep feeling of distress. "You must be tired from the journey south, but this is just the beginning. If you want to be the monarch of Xu State, you need more training. I won't blame you too much about Zhou Rui'er. The Crown Princess told me that she was prepared, but I didn't expect her to be so bold."
She took a sip of her tea and continued.
"Those hooligans and beasts you encountered at the temple were all Zhou Rui'er's doing! This woman is treacherous and cunning. You must never be soft-hearted again."
Xu Qihuai suddenly looked up and looked at the Crown Princess.
"Ying'er, why didn't you tell me?"
At that time, he also went to... went to Zhou Rui'er's room. How sad must Ying'er be? He was not a competent prince, and even less a competent husband.
No wonder his friends are angry.
Qiu Ying looked at the child's loving eyes, and after a moment's silence, she asked, "Will you believe what I say?"
Xu Qihuai didn't answer.
He knew that he had to see it to believe it.
"Feel sorry."
"fine."
All the pain, the two words Qiu Ying floated by.
Empress Xu stood up and looked at the sky outside. "Alright, the palace gates are about to close. You should all go back quickly. I think Manman should be waiting for you at the palace gate."
The two left the palace.
Sure enough, two figures were seen in front of the Prince’s Mansion.
The night slowly enveloped Jiusu, but it could not hide her joy. The Crown Princess happily walked up to her to chat, and also glanced at her angry sister.
Long lasting smile,
She whispered, "I was called here by Manman to give her courage."
Qiu Ying smiled and shook her head: "This girl is just making trouble. You have a big wedding tomorrow, you need to rest well, how could I drag you here to make trouble."
