"Don't worry, Prince Yu Jing. The Lin family's servants will naturally be taken care of by my Lin family."
Sophie refused Helian Jue's offer of help and asked Chunhua to take people back home to heal their wounds.
"Miss Lin, since it was my men who damaged your sedan chair, I should compensate you. However, it is already late. Why don't you let me give you a ride and come back to discuss compensation later? What do you think?"
Helian Jue's remarks were quite worthy of praise, and Sophie could not find any fault with them.
If the system catches her and deducts points because of her blatant disobedience, it will be a waste of time and effort.
"Okay, then I'll do as you say."
Sophie walked up the steps and got into Helian Jue's carriage.
They are both carriages, so why is there such a big difference?
Look at this spacious carriage, the soft cushions, and the delicious snacks on the small table in the middle.
All of them attracted Sophie's attention.
She finally understood what it meant that royal products must be top quality.
"If Miss Lin likes it, this car will be given to her as compensation for the damage just now."
Helian Jue played with the jade ring in his hand, a hint of amusement in his dark eyes.
"Your Highness is too polite. Qingyin knows how much her carriage is worth, so there is no need for Your Highness to spend so much money."
Sophie waved her hand in refusal.
Nonsense, if she really nodded in agreement.
Then he would regret it and accuse her of asking for too much and accuse her of blackmail.
The viciousness value that had been lowered with great difficulty might rise again. Where could she seek justice then?
She would never allow herself to fail at such a critical moment of life and death!
What's more, the other party is a scheming boy who is good at planning and hiding his scheming.
Sophie pondered the pros and cons of the matter secretly and closed her eyes to doze off.
There was already a heater in Helian Jue's car.
The warm temperature and the comfortable cushion under the seat made Sophie fall asleep soon.
Helian Jue raised his eyes to look at her peaceful sleeping face, a faint curve spreading across the corners of his mouth.
When I woke up, the carriage had stopped.
Sophie stretched and stood up, but Helian Jue opposite her had disappeared.
She casually raised her hand to wipe the drool from the corner of her mouth and lifted the car curtain.
It was already dark outside, the moonlight was obscured by clouds, and only a few stars were left sparsely hanging in the sky.
Helian Jue didn't even call her!
Aren't you just trying to see her make a fool of herself by being late?
Sophie angrily lifted up her skirt, got out of the car and ran away.
If it was really because of her lateness and Emperor Mingyuan framed her with a false charge, then her wishful thinking would be ruined.
Sophie hurried and finally arrived at Ziluan Palace before the banquet started.
As she entered the room, she met Yun Nishang, who was now the queen.
"Your humble servant Lin Qingyin greets Her Majesty the Queen."
Sophie saluted with a smile, and Yun Nishang nodded indifferently in response.
Such a condescending attitude makes it difficult to associate him with the tearful little pinkie that day.
As expected of a woman who is the mother of the country, her aura has become even stronger!
Sophie smiled and turned to find her seat.
The heroine sat in the seat next to her with her pregnant belly, and the hero considerately served her food.
Looking at the loving couple, Sophie's smile grew wider.
In the original plot, the relationship between the hero and heroine was quite bumpy. The heroine's unborn child was killed by Lin Qingyin at a banquet hosted by the hero for Helian Jue.
Although the banquet is still held as usual, the main plot has changed drastically.
It is estimated that it will not be long before she will be successful and make a grand exit.
Sophie rubbed her hands together in anticipation.
However, excessive joy leads to sorrow.
When Xiao Ming was tied up and taken to the hall, Sophie was dumbfounded.
What the hell is going on?
The script didn't say that Xiao Ming would be exposed right now!
"Isn't this Cao Ming, the eldest son of the Minister of War? Why is he tied up like this?"
"Yeah, what's going on?"
All the guests present were shocked by the scene before them and they were whispering to each other.
Many of them turned their attention to Sophie.
As Cao Ming's nominal fiancée, her calm demeanor was indeed a bit strange.
Little did she know that Sophie was simply stunned.
Amidst everyone's different speculations, Helian Jue walked into the hall with steady steps.
Sophie raised her eyes and met his unfathomable gaze in mid-air.
A sense of foreboding arose spontaneously.
"Your Majesty, after more than a month of lurking and investigating, I have fulfilled your command and successfully obtained evidence that Cao Ming, the son of Minister of War Cao Xuan, is a descendant of the Xiao family, the remnants of the previous dynasty."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
As expected.
Sophie frowned and stood up. Lin Qingwan grabbed her sleeve and shook her head at her.
"King Yujing, words are not enough, where is the evidence?"
Xiao Ming retorted disapprovingly.
The next second, he froze.
There was a hint of disbelief in his light brown eyes.
"Xiao Ming, do you recognize this thing?"
Helian Jue raised his hand and spread out his palm.
A transparent jade plaque carved from chicken blood stone was placed in the middle.
"This... this is the exclusive jade token of the previous dynasty's Xiao family!"
Someone with sharp eyes recognized it and shouted out.
Sophie belatedly touched her empty chest.
Half a month ago, Xiao Ming gave her a jade pendant as a token of love, so she also gained 20 points of bond value.
Now, the jade token that she should have been carrying on her body appeared openly in Helian Jue's hand.
