271. Chapter 271 How did it turn out like this?



"Father, what my second brother said makes sense. If that man is really Shangguan Chang, then his purpose of sneaking into the Xiyue envoy group must be complicated."

Chu Yao clenched his right fist and lightly tapped the palm of his left hand.

"Just arrest that person and torture him severely!"

“No!”

The prince shook his head. "We have no evidence. These are just speculations. If we arrest people rashly, it will only affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries."

Emperor Qixuan frowned and thought for a moment.

"No matter what, we must strengthen the surveillance of Sifang Pavilion, and..."

He raised his eyes and looked deeply at his three sons.

"Please stop doing what I told you to do before and continue after the delegation leaves Beijing."

The three brothers bowed respectfully.

"Your son obeys your order."

The lights in the imperial study were on for a long time late at night, and the Sifang Pavilion was also very lively.

In the courtyard where the Beilan delegation is temporarily staying.

The yard was originally quiet, but suddenly, a crisp sound came from a room.

"Who are you to deal with my people?!"

Chi Yang was playing with the cup in his hand, ignoring Luo Yao who was pointing a dagger at him in anger. Instead, he leisurely picked up the only surviving teapot, poured himself a full cup of tea, and took a sip slowly.

Of course, if you ignore the trembling hands, it would seem even more nonchalant.

"If I hadn't acted decisively and got rid of those two maids in time, do you think you would still be here? And continue to be treated as a distinguished guest by Daqi?"

Thinking of this, Luo Yao slammed the dagger on the table and screamed in anger.

“Who is it!”

"Who on earth ruined this princess's good deeds?!"

Chi Yang sneered, then patted his clothes and stood up.

"Okay, now that things have come to this, you can just be my prince's concubine from now on."

Hearing this, Luo Yao widened her eyes in disbelief.

"What did you say?"

"Concubine?"

Luo Yao suddenly slammed the table, stood up, and glared at him.

"I am a princess of a country, and you actually want me to be your concubine?!"

"What else?"

Chi Yang shrugged nonchalantly, looking like a scoundrel.

"You should be thankful that you are the princess of Beilan Country. You are still of some use to me. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to be a concubine!"

"After all, you are a ..."

As he spoke, he looked Luo Yao up and down with his small green eyes.

"A woman who lost her virginity before marriage is nothing more than a spent flower. This prince is still willing to marry you, so that you won't be thrown into a pig cage and laughed at and despised by the world. You should be content."

"you!"

Luoyao was so angry at his words that she trembled all over.

When he reached the door, Chi Yang stopped and turned to look at her.

"By the way, remember to ask your mother to help you prepare more dowry. I remember that your maternal grandfather has several gold mines. You should at least give you two as dowry, right?"

Hearing this, Luo Yao pulled out the dagger from the table and threw it at him.

"Don't even think about it! Get out of here!"

After Chi Yang dodged the dagger, he snorted coldly and then left.

When she was the only one left in the room, Luo Yao slumped in the chair, mumbling in a distraught voice.

"How did it become like this?"

Obviously she was fine during the day, and clearly before her third brother's death, she was still a noble princess in the eyes of the world.

She was obviously here to be the Crown Princess of Daqi...

How did it become like this? At this time, the maid knocked on the door, "Princess, Lord Hong wants to see you. He said he has something important to discuss with you."

Luo Yao hurriedly wiped her face with her sleeve and tried to keep her voice steady.

"Let him in."

As soon as Hong Nian came in, he looked at the broken porcelain and rotten wood all over the floor and frowned tightly.

"Did the princess just have an argument with Prince Chiyang?"

At this moment, it seemed as if Chi Yang was looking down at him and pointing at his nose and scolding him.

Losing virginity before marriage is like being a broken woman!

She clenched her hands tightly, and the anger in her eyes seemed enough to burn a hole in the table.

"This seems to have nothing to do with Lord Hong, right?"

Hong Nian shook his head and sighed heavily.

"Princess Luoyao, I have just written down tonight's events word for word in a memorial and sent someone to deliver it to the capital at full speed."

"Your Majesty will make the decision after he knows about this matter!"

He is just a minister and cannot control the princess, but there is always someone who can.

"What?!"

Luo Yao looked up at him in disbelief, "How could you tell these things to my father?!"

“It’s so fast!”

She turned around and shouted orders outside.

"Someone come! Send someone to intercept the memorial!"

"Let's see who dares!"

Hong Nian shouted angrily.

Luo Yao glared at him with gritted teeth.

"Master Hong, are you trying to disobey this princess's order?!"

Hong Nian put his hands behind his back, his old and slightly sagging face, but his jaw was now taut.

"Before coming to Daqi, His Majesty had issued an order that all matters within Daqi would be handled by this old minister."

The old man narrowed his cloudy eyes slightly and said sternly:

"Princess Luoyao, are you trying to disobey my order?!"

Hearing this, Luo Yao clenched her sleeves tightly with both hands. Even though she was furious, her attitude softened.

"Master Hong, I was just in a hurry just now, and I never meant that."

Then she gave an order to the maid beside her.

"Qingyu, go and make a pot of tea."

Then she looked at Hong Nian.

"I just think that this is not a big deal, so there is no need to let Father know, right?"

Hearing this, Hong Nian looked at her with a look that said 'you are so stupid'.

What's the big deal? Aren't you just ashamed?!

You have already done it yourself, are you afraid of what others will say? What were you doing before? !

He sighed helplessly.

"Princess, how confused you are!"

"Now that this matter has become so serious, almost everyone knows about it. It is better for me to take the initiative to report this matter to Your Majesty, rather than letting those exaggerated rumors reach Your Majesty's ears first, right?"

Hearing this, Luo Yao lowered her eyelids and said no more.

"Princess Luoyao, please don't quarrel with Prince Chiyang again in the future."

"In your current situation, marrying into the Danqi royal family is already the best outcome."

Hearing this, Luo Yao clenched her hands tighter and tighter in her sleeves.

Before leaving, Hong Nian left a few words.

"The Concubine Yi has no prince by her side. She relies entirely on her family to maintain her prosperity. In other words, she relies entirely on the gold mines owned by your foreign family."

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think more about Concubine Yi."

After saying that, he shook his head, sighed, and walked out of the yard with heavy steps.

After Luo Yao stood up and closed the door, the moment she turned around, she could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, with her knees bent. She hugged herself tightly, rested her head on her knees and cried bitterly.

"Why?"

She went from being a high-ranking, admired princess to being despised and looked down upon by everyone in a blink of an eye...

"How did it become like this?"

Luoyao was crying bitterly in the room.

On the other side, after Chi Yang left the Beilan Mission courtyard, he returned to his room. As soon as he closed the door, he heard: "Prince Chi Yang, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
