Chapter 29: Suing the Crown Prince

Sitting at the top was a figure wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.

The current Emperor Beiling was less than fifty years old, but his temples were gray, and he looked much older than his peers.

There were no wrinkles on his face, but his face was pale and his lips were blue, which gave him a sickly look.

Seeing the two people coming in, Emperor Beiling waved his hand gently, asking the eunuchs standing on both sides to withdraw, leaving only Eunuch Wu to serve on the side.

"Your humble servant has seen the emperor."

Ling Fengxun stood in place and just bowed gently.

An Yunxi did not dare to do so, but knelt down to pay homage to the emperor.

"Your humble servant has seen the emperor!"

The voice of Emperor Beiling was a little empty, but very gentle, and no anger could be heard.

"Everyone, get up."

An Yunxi stood up and stood beside Ling Fengxun with her head down.

Emperor Beiling chuckled: "In the blink of an eye, General An's daughter has grown up so much. I still remember that you were a little girl a few years ago, and you were extremely fierce. It seems that my several princes, except the crown prince, have all suffered from your vicious hands."

An Yunxi was stunned. She didn't expect Emperor Beiling to mention those things in the past.

"It's my fault that I was young and didn't know the etiquette. I made a big mistake at that time. I have been severely punished. Your Majesty, please don't make fun of me."

"It's just a young mind. Why punish you? After General An comes to court, I have to talk to him. If I have a daughter as lively as you, I'm afraid I won't have time to spoil her, so how can I bear to scold her."

Emperor Beiling said this in a friendly and approachable way, like a kind elder, without any airs.

After An Yunxi entered the room, he didn't even say a single angry word.

"Your Majesty, Yunxi knows she was wrong, and it is only natural that she should be punished."

Emperor Beiling smiled, "Let's not talk about the past, let's talk about the present. Your marriage with the prince has been decided for many years, and it is also the last wish of my father. Although I don't know what his intention is, I am very concerned about this matter, so I will give you two a marriage. You were very happy at the time, why did you suddenly regret it?"

An Yunxi's heart sank.

Sure enough, Emperor Beiling's purpose was for this matter.

The polite words he just said were just to lead to the next topic, wanting to understand the reason and let her open her heart.

But she is no longer the innocent girl in her teens in her previous life.

Instead, he was a revengeful ghost who had already died once and crawled back from hell.

Prince Ling Changyue also turned his head at this time, staring at An Yunxi, and his voice became very gentle: "Yunxi, I know that you were forced by the Regent to make such a decision. Today, my father said that as long as you are unwilling to cancel the engagement, we can re-hold the wedding banquet."

His words sounded very sincere. He

seemed like a good man who was trying to save the relationship.

An Yunxi couldn't help but sneer.

He acted so affectionately in front of the emperor

. An Yunxi suddenly knelt on both knees in front of Emperor Beiling.

"There is something, please ask the emperor to do justice for Yunxi!"

When she shouted this sentence, she was extremely emotional and her voice was trembling.

Seeing her reaction, the faces of the people present were different.

Ling Fengyan slightly tightened his lips, his eyes fell on An Yunxi's back, looking at the woman kneeling on the ground, feeling a little uneasy.

The prince's eyes changed slightly, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently raised slightly

. It seems that things have changed. An Yunxi is not as heartless as she said in the palace yesterday.

She has liked him for so many years, how could she change overnight?

It must be Ling Fengyan who threatened and seduced her behind her back, which made her doubt the relationship between him and An Ruxue, so that she spoke without thinking.

Now that her father is here, she will definitely find ways to get rid of the control of the regent king.

Emperor Beiling nodded lightly: "Yunxi girl, if you have any grievances, just tell me. I am the king of a country. If anyone bullies you, I will not let him off!"

The emperor's words were meaningful.

He even subconsciously glanced at Ling Fengxun.

After entering the Yangxin Palace, Ling Fengxun stood coldly by the side without saying a word.

His deep dark blue eyes silently watched everything that happened in front of him.

It seemed as if he wanted to stare a hole in An Yunxi's back.

Ignoring the others who had different thoughts, An Yunxi directly said: "It's not others who bullied Yunxi, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The smile hidden in the corner of the Crown Prince's mouth froze.

There was also a trace of surprise in Ling Fengxun's phoenix eyes.

Even the emperor couldn't help but sit up straight.

The emperor's kind eyes darkened, and then he said solemnly: "Xi girl, raise your head and tell me how the prince bullied you?"

An Yunxi raised her eyes slightly. Although she didn't look directly at the emperor, she could let the other party see her expression more clearly.

She bit her lips lightly, her face was full of endless sadness and grievance.

The prince was completely unprepared and didn't know why things would develop in this direction.

Why didn't An Yunxi help him deal with Ling Fengxun at such a great opportunity?

Even if Ling Fengxun was the regent king, the person sitting on the throne now was still his father.

As long as he could find some evidence against Ling Fengxun, his father would have a reason to punish him. Even if he didn't hurt Ling Fengxun, he could still restrict him.

"Yunxi, I don't think I've done anything to let you down. Why do you slander me again and again in front of outsiders? Did Uncle Huangxun feed you some kind of magic potion, so you always side with him?"

The prince's face was pale, showing a hurt expression.

The person standing in front of him was his father. He absolutely could not reveal any flaws that would allow others to find the slightest evidence.

An Yunxi narrowed her eyes. She had planned to find a way to expose his affair with An Ruxue after more than a month. The child in An Ruxue's belly was the best evidence.

However, she couldn't wait for a month.

As long as the engagement with the prince was still there, she felt uncomfortable all over.

In the last life, Ling Fengxun had to face this farce alone. She didn't know how much he paid to keep her in the palace and write her name on the jade disc.

Just to make her the legitimate princess of Prince Xian.

Thinking of how she didn't care about this identity at all at that time, she felt that she was really hopeless at that time

. An Yunxi suddenly laughed bitterly.

"Your Majesty, Yunxi announced that she wanted to break off the engagement because she was too embarrassed to say it. She didn't say it before because she wanted to save face for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Beiling said in a calm voice, "Girl Xi, if you don't say it, how can I make the decision for you? I'll say it again. If the fault really lies with the Crown Prince, I'll punish him for you. Do you think that's okay?"

The emperor's attitude was quite gentle and friendly.

But it also made An Yunxi clearly feel that Emperor Beiling had no intention of letting her break off the engagement with the Crown Prince.
