Now, what else is there that the emperor and empress don’t understand?
The Queen's face showed obvious displeasure. Although Helian Cheng was not her biological son, she had watched him grow up and loved him like her own son.
Although he was a bit of a playboy, he was handsome, elegant, and talented in both civil and military affairs. Even the queen felt that he was not up to par with Zuo Xinya. She didn't expect that Zuo Xinya was still so unsatisfied!
But after taking a look at Duan Qingxi, the queen could only sigh.
She said, "Alright, you don't need to say anything. The Emperor and I both understand your feelings. Is it right or wrong for you to refuse to marry the Third Prince?"
"this……"
Zuo Xinya was so anxious that she was about to cry.
She has now been betrothed to the Third Prince. If she says that she doesn't want to marry him, wouldn't that be disobeying the order?
The Queen was too lazy to embarrass her and continued, "I also know that the one you love in your heart is the Fifth Prince. You two have already had a secret relationship..."
"Mother!"
Helian Yun panicked instantly upon hearing that word. He quickly knelt down before the Emperor and Empress, then glared fiercely at Duan Qingxi, who was standing beside the Empress, and explained anxiously, "Mother! You must not listen to the slanderous words of this villain! This son and Miss Zuo are innocent, and there is absolutely no illicit affair!"
The Queen frowned and said unhappily, "Evil son! Who are you glaring at?! Do you really think your father and mother are incompetent?! The Emperor and I already know everything about your affairs. Do you need others to tell you?!"
At this time, Helian Sheng also spoke in a calm voice: "There are a total of 3,000 elite secret guards hidden in various places in Shengyuan Kingdom, cultivated by my father himself."
A simple sentence comforted Duan Qingxi.
Even though Duan Qingxi is Duan Hong's daughter, if she reports the affair between Zuo Xinya and Helian Yun, not only will the emperor and the empress not sympathize with her, but they will resent her for losing face, and even think that she is too petty and disregards the overall situation.
Therefore, the emperor and the empress allowed her to stand aside at this moment, definitely not because she had reported something, but because she had really suffered some injustice.
As for those things... I'm afraid they were done by those three thousand elite secret guards.
Knowing that he had wronged Duan Qingxi, Helian Yun's expression suddenly became awkward, and he even felt a little at a loss.
The emperor was so angry that he didn't know what to say, so he had to let the queen speak.
The Queen was also very disappointed with Helian Yun. She said, "I knew that if I betrothed Miss Duan to you, I would definitely suffer injustice, but I never expected you to think such evil of a girl. You knew she couldn't do these things, yet you still insisted that she did it. Yun'er, when did you become so absurd?"
Helian Yun blushed redly after being reprimanded by the Queen. He said in shame, "Yun'er knows his mistake! It was...it was Yun'er who was reckless!"
The Queen said coldly, "It's not that you're reckless! It's that you've been so obsessed with lust that you can't tell right from wrong!"
Helian Yun didn't dare to speak anymore at this moment, and Zuo Xinya was trembling with fear.
Duan Hong and Duan Sijin looked at each other with complicated expressions.
Then, the Queen looked at Zuo Xinya and said, "Since your heart isn't with the Third Prince, I will take charge and cancel your engagement today. After all, based on your status, you're not worthy of the Third Prince!"
Helian Cheng raised his eyebrows, seeming a little proud.
He was not very satisfied with this marriage at first, but because he didn't have a woman he liked in his heart, he felt that it didn't matter who he married, so he accepted it.
Now that's great, I don't have to deal with a woman who might cheat on me at any time. It feels so good!
Helian Cheng was afraid that the Queen would go back on her word, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "Third son thanks the Queen Mother! And also thanks the Emperor!"
Hearing this cheerful tone, Zuo Xinya clenched her hands into fists, feeling extremely humiliated.
