Chapter 270 You mustn't frame me!
“Aunt, this has nothing to do with Ping An and Kwok Ping-man’s private engagement.”
“How can it not be related?” Princess Ping’an hurriedly said, “Cousin, I was really deceived by her. I didn’t know he was married at first.”
“He deliberately attracted my attention and only told me at the end that he was already married. I was deceived by his sweet talk before, but I realized it later.”
"And what he said about me ordering him to poison his own wife is all slander. I don't even know this Jiang Wanjun, how could I possibly order him to do such a thing?"
"In short, I don't want to marry someone like him."
“Moreover…” Princess Ping’an said, “Moreover, he will be castrated soon.”
"Cousin, you wouldn't want me to marry someone like that, would you?"
Xiao Yu: No, I want to!
"What does the Prince of Langya think of this matter?" Pei Yanchuan changed the subject.
Pei Yanchuan said, "If it is just a private affair between the two of them, I do not want to get involved. But if it is really as Guo Bingwen said, that the Bishop of Ping'an County instigated him to kill Jiang Wanjun."
"Then I think we should give the Jiang family an explanation."
"To be honest, my queen and I went to the Guo residence. At that time, Jiang Wanjun was on her deathbed and the child was lost. I'm sure we can find out how much of this was related to Princess Ping'an."
Pei Yanchuan looked at the Grand Princess as he spoke.
The Grand Princess angrily said, "Pei Yanchuan, don't think you can act arrogantly towards me just because you have power now. Even if you do, you need to be able to provide evidence."
"Since there's no evidence now, we'll wait until you find it before we talk about it."
Pei Yanchuan's lips curled up slightly, and he unusually spoke softly to the Grand Princess, "You're right, but it would be better to discuss your daughter's marriage right now."
"I checked the almanac before leaving home today. It's an auspicious day in three days, perfect for weddings and marriages. I will definitely present a generous gift then."
Xiao Yu had never seen Pei Yanchuan like this before. He tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth and hold back his laughter, but he couldn't help but lower his head and take a sip of tea.
Wu Panpan also lowered her head and chuckled to herself.
The Grand Princess slammed her hand on the table, stood up, pointed at Pei Yanchuan, and shouted, "Pei Yanchuan, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Pei Yanchuan calmly raised his head, "If Your Highness were not afraid of me, you wouldn't just know how to get angry and slam the table."
"Furthermore, this is the palace, Your Majesty's child. What do you mean by this, Your Highness? Are you plotting a rebellion?"
The moment the word "treason" was uttered, everyone's expression changed.
The Grand Princess also realized what was happening, calmed herself down, and said, "Don't you dare to frame me."
The Grand Princess gestured with her eyes to Xi Mama, who was following beside her.
Granny Xi immediately nudged Princess Ping'an from behind. Princess Ping'an understood and clutched her chest, saying, "Mother, my chest hurts terribly."
Granny Xi hurriedly helped Princess Ping'an up, saying, "Your Highness, the princess is not in good health, it would be best if she returned as soon as possible."
The Grand Princess stood up and said, “Your Majesty, Ping An is not feeling well. I will take her back first. These matters are not important. We can discuss them again when Ping An is feeling better.”
"There are plenty of imperial physicians in the palace; surely they can't compare to the doctors in the Grand Princess's residence?"
Xiao Yu continued, "Isn't there a highly skilled doctor here?"
"The Princess of Langya's medical skills are no less than any of the imperial physicians. Let her take a look at Ping An."
"No need, I'd better take Ping An back with me." The Grand Princess said, turning to leave.
“What is Aunt afraid of? With me here, do you think the Princess of Langya will not take Ping An’s treatment seriously?” Xiao Yu said, and the imperial guards at the door stepped out and blocked the door.
"Aunt, please don't overthink it. I was just worried that you would be too concerned about Ping An. If you are too concerned, you might make a mistake and delay Ping An's treatment. Besides, this matter needs to be dealt with as soon as possible."
"So, we need to give Ping An an explanation. Does Aunt agree or disagree?"
Seeing this, the Grand Princess could only turn around and sit back down.
Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Wan Ning, "Princess Langya?"
Jiang Wanning stood up and bowed, "This humble woman will naturally serve Your Majesty."
As he spoke, he walked to Princess Ping'an's side and reached out to grasp her wrist, but Princess Ping'an shook him off forcefully, saying, "Get away from me, I don't want you to look."
"You must have ill intentions."
Jiang Wanning raised an eyebrow. "You know, I don't really want to see you."
"But since Your Majesty has said so, I will treat you seriously, but it seems that it is not necessary for now."
“Your Majesty, since she says there’s no need to see her, then I’ll go back and have Ping’an see her,” said the Grand Princess.
"Your Highness misunderstands. I said it wasn't necessary. It's not that I didn't want to watch, but Princess Ping'an was just pretending, and there's nothing to see."
Jiang Wanning said, "Look at the force she used just now, she doesn't seem like someone with a chest pain at all."
Princess Ping'an, exposed by Jiang Wan Ning, straightened up with an embarrassed expression. "I really did have a chest pain just now, but it's eased up quite a bit now."
"Since it has improved a lot, it means we can continue," Jiang Wanning said calmly.
Xiao Yu then added, "Then let's continue with the matter of Ping An. It's better for Ping An to handle this matter as soon as possible."
"There's nothing more to say. I will not agree to this marriage. Does Your Majesty intend to casually give your own cousin to such a person?"
The Grand Princess pointed at Guo Bingwen and said, "His Majesty should know in his heart how could Ping An possibly be interested in such a person."
"This kind of person isn't even worthy of carrying Ping An's shoes!"
"Yes, cousin, I would never be interested in someone like that. I was just blinded by love back then. It was my fault, but it was just a few letters, not a marriage certificate."
"It doesn't count either, cousin, right?"
The Grand Princess and her daughter are right. Since it's not a marriage certificate, he can't force a marriage, even though Xiao Yu really wants to.
"Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry? Why not wait a little longer? Perhaps there is something more important than the marriage certificate," Jiang Wan Ning said calmly.
As she spoke, she placed one hand on her chest and tapped it lightly.
Guo Bingwen immediately understood and remembered, "Your Majesty is wise. Since the princess does not admit it, then this humble subject has something even more important that I have not yet presented."
"I believe this is a test from the princess, so I must be fully prepared before daring to come to the capital."
The Grand Princess looked at Jiang Wan Ning, a sense of unease crossing her heart.
Xiao Yu said, "Tell me what it is."
Guo Bingwen pointed at Princess Ping'an and said, "This humble subject has already had intimate relations with the princess, and begs Your Majesty to see the truth."
"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Princess Ping'an was genuinely bewildered this time. "How dare you slander me?"
"Whether there was slander or not, the princess knows it in her heart."
"You say you had physical intimacy with Ping An, do you have any proof?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Your Majesty, Princess Ping'an has a red mole on her chest, about the size of a soybean."
