Chapter 97 It’s better not to read it
Lin Rou and Princess Danyang both changed their expressions when they heard Bu Ruo's words, especially Lin Rou, who wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
After all, Lin Rou is the future Crown Princess. Although Xiao Jingrui is unhappy, he can only come out to smooth things over.
"Aunt Nine, be careful with your words. It is a taboo for women in the Great Zhou to have private meetings with others. What you just said could destroy someone's innocence."
"Oh~" Bu Ruo put the teacup in his hand heavily on the low table in front of him, and said in a cold tone: "So the prince knows that these words are damaging to someone's innocence."
"Then why didn't the Crown Prince stop Miss Lin and Princess Danyang from talking about me?"
"You are the crown prince of the Great Zhou. You shouldn't be biased. Otherwise, how can you be fair in the future? How long can the Great Zhou last in your hands?"
Xiao Jingrui's face turned red after hearing what Buruo said, but he could not refute it because he knew that Buruo was not as close to the prince of Nanxia Kingdom as the two said and did not intend to commit treason.
The prince is here now. If we make her angry today, with Shi Yongyan's protective attitude, the border trade may be ruined.
The emperor had been suspicious of him recently because of the imperial seal incident, and the trade issue must not be ruined in his hands.
"I will remember what Aunt Jiuhuang taught me."
Xiao Jingrui turned to look at Lin Rou after he finished speaking, the coldness in his eyes seemed to penetrate her: "Miss Lin, you should take care of yourself first. The relationship between Aunt Jiuhuang and the Crown Prince of Nanxia is not as bad as you say."
"Aunt Jiuhuang is the junior sister of Prince Nanxia. It's not the kind of relationship you think."
Bu Ruo looked at Lin Rou and Princess Danyang who were still trying to quibble, and laughed, "Yes, the Crown Prince of Nanxia is my second elder brother. He watched me grow up when I was still a baby."
"If you still doubt our relationship, then I'd like to ask... would you develop feelings for the father who held you in his arms since you were little?"
Shi Yongyan: ...
Xiao Yulan's mouth curled up slightly. He knew that his Ruoer liked to tear people apart with her own hands.
Seeing that Bu Ruo had almost defeated the other two, Shi Yongyan spoke up, "They say that the women of the Great Zhou are gentle and demure, with refined minds and elegant demeanors. But after seeing them today... I really shouldn't have seen them at all."
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is getting married soon? And will he marry Miss Lin who just spoke to me? Well, I'd like to wish you two a happy marriage and a son soon."
Xiao Jingrui's face turned grim. After what Bu Ruo had just said, everyone knew that the Crown Princess he was about to marry was still thinking about his uncle. How could he, as the Crown Prince, put his face down? So...
"Father..."
Xiao Jingrui stood up and knelt in the center of the hall: "Father, I didn't know that Miss Lin already had a lover. In this case, I ask you to revoke the imperial decree granting the marriage. I don't want to force anyone to do anything."
"Why not give Miss Lin to the Ninth Prince as a concubine..."
Just then, a palace maid passed by and the fragrance of flowers came to her.
"Princess, be careful..."
Bu Ruo didn't take the fragrance of the flower to heart at all, but turned to look at Xiao Yulan, because the poison of the fragrance of the flower was obviously aimed at him.
"Xiao Yulan?"
At this moment, Xiao Yulan only felt that there was someone in his mind who kept telling him to take Lin Rou into the Zhan Wang Mansion, saying good things about Lin Rou and belittling Bu Ruo as worthless.
hehe.
Xiao Yulan slowly turned his head and looked at Bu Yanfu with eyes as sharp as knives, which made Bu Yanfu's heart tremble.
Haha, you dare to say bad things about Ruoer.
Xiao Yulan's spiritual sense moved slightly, and Bu Yanfu felt as if countless needles were piercing her brain in an instant. She lay on the ground in unbearable pain and wailed, scaring the others around her.
"She...what happened to her? She was fine just now, why did she suddenly become like this?"
"It looks pretty serious. Should we ask a doctor to take a look?"
The emperor was alarmed by what was happening here, and his eyes were filled with displeasure as he looked at the woman rolling on the ground.
"Prince Yongning, if the person is feeling unwell, please take him down to the imperial physician for proper treatment."
"Remember, you are not allowed to bring concubines to palace banquets in the future. It's really unruly. After returning home, put yourself in solitary confinement for a month to wake up your brain."
Prince Yongning should have hurriedly picked up Bu Yanfu and turned to leave, but at that moment, Bu Ruo did not miss the hatred in Bu Yanfu's eyes.
After the farce, the prince wanted to ask the emperor to revoke the marriage again, but Xiao Yulan's voice rang out.
"Xiao Jingrui, you can throw away what you don't want, but if you throw it at me... don't blame me for making you lose face."
"I will only say this once today. Ru'er is the only one in my life. Others, please don't make the wrong decision."
"Everyone here knows that I have a bad temper. Don't really think that you can manipulate me just because I've been ill for the past few years."
Everyone was in an uproar, especially Prime Minister Lin, whose face looked extremely ugly. He glared at Lin Rou fiercely and stood up.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty is not like that. In the past, I only thought that the War King was a hero of our Great Zhou. I only had admiration for him, not love between a man and a woman."
"Since being granted marriage, my daughter has told this old minister more than once that she fell in love with the Crown Prince at first sight during the spring search this year. Crown Prince, please don't misunderstand."
Lin Rou looked at the two people kneeling in the hall and felt a conflict in her heart. This was a great opportunity for her to get rid of the prince, but she knew deeply that Xiao Yulan would never marry her.
But what if I help him get that position? Will he look at me differently?
Thinking of this, Lin Rou gritted her teeth, stood up, and knelt beside Prime Minister Lin: "Your Majesty... I did what my father said, that my admiration for the War King was just a momentary one, which led me to do those unruly things. I am truly devoted to the Crown Prince."
"If I cannot marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in this lifetime, then... then I would rather shave my head and become a nun in the mountains."
Lin Rou knocked her head on the ground for a long time and refused to get up, making everyone around her think how deep her friendship for the prince was. But only she knew that she had been targeting Xiao Yulan from the beginning to the end.
The emperor coughed lightly and felt a sharp pain in his head as he looked at the people below. "What are you doing? Everyone, get up. Today is a welcome party for the envoys from Southern Xia. What's the point of you two fooling around here? Don't make fun of yourself."
After the emperor said this, Prime Minister Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Based on his understanding of the emperor over the years, Lin Rou's position as the Crown Princess was saved.
Bu Ruo gently tugged at Xiao Yulan's sleeve and pouted in Lin Rou's direction, "She's trying to get the Crown Prince to help you get that position. She's truly so affectionate and loyal. Your Highness, aren't you moved at all?"
Xiao Yulan looked at Bu Ruo's pouting mouth and shook his head helplessly: "Ruo'er, don't think too much. That position is worthless in my eyes. I only want Ruo'er."
