Of course, if it weren't for the Crown Prince, then right now, what's important is no longer Xie Lingqin's reputation or the General's Mansion's honor.
Impersonating the crown prince is a capital offense, and it could implicate the entire general's mansion.
After glaring at Xie Lingqin, General Xie and the Prefect of the Capital looked at the Crown Prince's carriage with somewhat different expressions than before.
Even Tingfeng couldn't help but twitch his lips as he looked at Xie Lingqin.
The way Miss Lingqin got off the carriage just now was clearly intentional.
For a moment, all was quiet.
Finally, the Prefect of the Capital and General Xie stepped forward simultaneously.
"May I ask, is His Highness the Crown Prince really inside?"
“Father, that’s a strange question. His Highness the Crown Prince is inside.” Xie Lingqin, seeing Xie Lingyu’s eagerness to immediately lift the curtain, looked at General Xie and said, “It’s true, His Highness the Crown Prince is inside.”
That expression, however, was so much like someone trying to hide something obvious.
Of course, Xie Lingqin handled the situation perfectly. Although she also wanted to outmaneuver the Crown Prince, she knew he would kill her.
"Xie Lingqin, well done."
Suddenly, a voice came from my head.
Xie Lingqin immediately lowered her head and looked submissive.
She didn't say or do anything extra.
To General Xie and his group, her behavior seemed more like that of a guilty thief.
But at the crucial moment, Xie Lingyu seemed to have discovered some earth-shattering secret.
"By the way, elder sister, I remember you were with your maid Zihe, but now you're alone. Where is your maid?"
That's a very good question...
Xie Lingqin rubbed her forehead, looking completely innocent. "Zihe should have already returned to the manor a long time ago."
That's a lot...
And yet, I still lack confidence.
This makes people even more suspicious.
Xie Lingyu was extremely smug, but she still knew to restrain herself. "Hmph, my father and I have already searched the General's Mansion inside and out, but there is no trace of her at all."
Xie Lingqin immediately covered her mouth, very surprised, "Impossible, is this maid slacking off somewhere and you can't find her?" Xie Lingqin seemed to be a little flustered as well.
Now, the group was absolutely certain.
He's feeling guilty.
Even he couldn't explain it properly.
"Whether it's a person or a ghost, we'll know once we take a look."
Xie Lingyu then looked at General Xie, "Father."
Inside the carriage, there was still no sound. Tingfeng, having received no orders, remained seated as before.
Xie Lingqin's gaze swept over General Xie, her second aunt, Xie Lingyu, and the Prefect of the Capital.
It's kind of like watching an idiot.
Do they think too highly of themselves?
Impersonating the Crown Prince?
How could she be so bold?
Sigh, it's true, blindly following others really does lower your IQ.
"Impersonation?" After a long while, long enough that the Prefect of the Capital had already quietly waved his hand to order his men to quickly surround the carriage, the Crown Prince's voice finally came from inside the carriage.
So cool and beautiful.
So deeply moving.
It was so powerful that the officers and soldiers who wanted to approach changed color and took a step back.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the golden silk curtain was slowly lifted.
The crown prince walked out slowly.
He was as graceful as a jade tree, with a face as beautiful as jade, eyes as deep as a pool, and dressed in flowing white robes.
With a slight shift of his gaze, he displayed strategic planning and decisive ruthlessness.
Who can say that this crown prince is a fake?
"Tell me, am I a human or a ghost?"
Yuwen Yao's gaze suddenly swept over Xie Lingyu like a sharp blade.
The cold light made Xie Lingyu's face turn pale instantly, and he felt as if his skull was about to be ripped open.
How could this be...?
"No, it must be fake, Father, human skin mask, human skin mask..." Xie Lingyu drooled, still shouting recklessly.
"Shut up!" General Xie shouted angrily, raising his hand to slap him. "How dare you spout nonsense in front of the Crown Prince!"
He knew perfectly well whether the man before him was the real or a fake crown prince after so many years in the court.
Xie Lingyu's face was turned to the side after being slapped, and he was completely bewildered and unwilling to accept his fate.
Meanwhile, the Prefect of the Capital knelt down with a thud, saying, "Your Majesty, I was blind and ignorant."
The Crown Prince's tone earlier was really too calm, too...
Looking at the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, she's too peaceful, too...
They simply couldn't believe it.
"It is my fault for failing to properly educate my daughter, and for blinding her to the truth. I beg Your Highness to forgive me." General Xie immediately knelt down as well.
Logically speaking, officials of such high rank as him and the Prefect of the Capital should only need to bow when they see the Crown Prince.
However, in that brief moment, when they met the Crown Prince's powerful, almost intimidating gaze, they unconsciously knelt down.
Moreover, we are in the wrong.
Xie Lingqin was speechless, seeing how these people acted like mice before a cat.
"Ha!" The Crown Prince sneered, sitting high on the carriage, his face as handsome as jade and cold. "What a terrible daughter you've failed to teach! Well then, today I'll teach this daughter a lesson for you."
After the prince finished speaking, he raised his sleeve and waved it.
Xie Lingqin, who was kneeling on the ground and hadn't even realized what was happening, was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the steps in front of the mansion.
Xie Lingqin was so wronged and in so much pain that her internal organs ached, but finally her mind cleared and she understood.
It is Xie Lingqin.
She deliberately made her doubt this way.
Xie Lingqin completely ignored Xie Lingyu's resentful gaze.
He's asking for trouble; what does that have to do with her?
General Xie watched helplessly as Xie Lingyu's face turned blue with pain, and could only say, "What a fool."
