"Hush! You dare to say that? You're risking your life!"
"The Fifth Prince is not someone we can discuss!"
"Then let's not discuss the Fifth Prince anymore, let's discuss the Prime Minister and his concubine's daughter."
"In this situation, I don't know what the Prime Minister's daughter will do. We ordinary people know about this matter, and the current emperor must know it too."
"Yes, but I don't know how the emperor will solve this matter. If the prime minister's concubine's daughter really becomes the fifth prince's principal wife, it would be too unfair to the prime minister's legitimate daughter!"
"Haha, you guys are so naive! You actually want to talk about fairness with the royal family!
There is no such thing as fairness in this world!"
Some people sneered and retorted, others wanted to refute, but then they remembered something and swallowed the words that were on the tip of their tongues.
Indeed, there is no fairness in this world!
Ying Xixi ate her food while listening to the discussions of the people around her, guessing that the person leading the topic among them was probably someone from the Gentle Land.
Various things were exposed in the capital, but if public opinion was to be in her favor, someone had to control it.
Obviously, the person who just led everyone to talk and aroused everyone's sympathy for her as the prime minister's daughter was the one who controlled public opinion.
It seems that the one thousand taels are well worth it.
Ying Xixi ate and drank her fill, wiped her mouth, and got up to leave.
Next, she had to go to the palace to meet the emperor.
Instead of giving the emperor and the fifth prince time to discuss how to resolve the matter, she would rather take the initiative and go to the emperor to discuss the cancellation of the engagement.
Regardless of whether the emperor has a conscience or not, he will not do anything to her due to public opinion in the capital. Even if he does not agree to cancel the engagement, he will still give her some benefits.
Ying Xixi entered the palace smoothly, but the emperor was still discussing state affairs with ministers in the imperial study, so she strolled around the imperial garden by herself, waiting for the emperor to be free and the eunuch to come and call her over.
The pond in the Imperial Garden still looks the same as it did back then.
When Ying Xixi looked at the water in the pool, she felt difficulty breathing and her body unconsciously tensed up.
Ever since the original owner was pushed into this pond by the fifth prince when he was a child, he had a psychological trauma against water.
When she sees a slightly larger pond, her body will have a stress response.
Now even Ying Xixi felt the reaction of the original owner's body.
Ying Xixi took a deep breath, closed her eyes, turned around and stopped looking at the pond.
But when he turned around, he saw the fifth prince Han Su, who was standing there in a dark blue brocade robe.
Han Su glared at Ying Xixi angrily with a cold face.
Ying Xixi sneered, "Fifth Prince, do you think you're going to push me into the pond again this time?"
"Ying Xixi! I didn't expect you to be so vicious! Zhu'er is your sister, and you actually treat her like this!
If you have a bad reputation, that's your business, why do you want to ruin your sister's reputation as well?!"
Han Su strode up to Ying Xixi and scolded her harshly.
"Oh? It seems Your Highness has heard the discussions of the people in the capital, but why is what Your Highness heard different from what I heard?
Now everyone in the capital is saying that the Prime Minister's concubine's daughter is extremely cunning and has seduced her elder sister's fiancé.
They even announced to the public that it was you, Your Highness, who had spread the secret of my subject!
Even you, Your Highness, are being talked about by everyone in the capital.
Is it possible that Your Highness doesn't know?"
After Ying Xixi finished speaking, she covered her lips in feigned surprise, "No way, no way, Your Highness, you actually don't know? Then how did Your Highness think that this servant had done something to hurt Ying Zhu'er?
Did Ying Zhuer tell you? Did Ying Zhuer tell His Highness about these things?
Han Su gritted his teeth, his face full of disbelief. "You're talking nonsense! It was clearly you who deliberately revealed your secret, pretending it was Zhu'er who told it. You wanted to harm Zhu'er! You wanted to ruin her reputation!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Xixi clicked her tongue and looked at Han Su as if he were a fool.
"So this is what Ying Zhuer told you?
You actually believed it? Didn't I say, Your Highness, you are a prince after all, so you must have capable people under your command?
Can't you send someone to investigate first and not just trust Ying Zhuer in everything?
Your Highness, if you continue like this, even if Ying Zhuer sells you out one day, you will still be counting money for her."
Han Su: “!!!”
He did not send anyone to investigate, and he did believe Zhu'er just because she said so.
But Zhu'er would not lie to him!
This is definitely a trick of the treacherous woman Ying Xixi!
"Ying Xixi! This prince is telling you! Don't even think about sowing discord between this prince and Zhu'er!
The position of the Queen belongs to Zhu Er, don't even think about it!"
Han Su roared in frustration.
Ying Xixi sneered, "Whether it's provocative or not, it doesn't mean much to me. Your Highness should send someone to investigate the situation.
By the way, I don’t care about the fifth prince’s concubine or the main wife!
You have hurt me for so many years. I would be a fool to spend my whole life with someone who hurt me!
Didn’t you ask me to help you and Ying Zhuer get together?
"Okay, I'll grant your wish! You'd better be together forever and lock each other up forever! Don't hurt others!"
After saying that, Ying Xixi turned around and left.
If she saw the Fifth Prince's face again, she was afraid that she would vomit on the spot.
Han Su was so angry that his chest heaved violently, "Ying Xixi! You're so good, Ying Xixi! You're really great!"
The young eunuch standing by lowered his head, looking at his nose and his heart, not daring to make a sound.
"Little Stool, what do you mean by Ying Xixi? What does it mean to fulfill this prince's wish? Could it be that she really dares to break off the engagement with this prince?!"
The eunuch who was named shuddered and said, "Your Highness, I, your servant, don't know."
"You don't know again! If you don't know anything, what use would the prince have for you?"
Han Su flicked his sleeves and left.
He didn't believe that Ying Xixi was really willing to break off the engagement with him!
He saw how deep Ying Xixi's feelings for him were!
Ying Xixi didn't know that Han Su, who was full of self-confidence, didn't believe that she would take the initiative to cancel the engagement with him.
It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not.
Anyway, she has decided to cancel the engagement!
Even if the emperor doesn't agree this time, she will find a way to cancel the engagement sooner or later!
The chief eunuch carried Ying Xixi into the imperial study.
The emperor was sitting on a high throne, looking down at the memorials.
The emperor looked very young, and Ying Xixi couldn't imagine that he was already in his forties.
"Your Majesty, your servant, pays homage."
Ying Xixi bowed properly.
"No need to be polite, little girl, you suddenly come to see me, what's the matter?"
The emperor looked at Ying Xixi with a smile, and his words were obviously pretending to be stupid. Obviously, the discussion in the capital was already in an uproar. As the emperor, how could he not know why Ying Xixi came to the palace.
