Chapter 188: Playing with the world as fools

Xiao Bicheng looked up at the voice, and when he saw the person coming, he immediately showed an unhappy expression on his face, "Uncle Yong, today is my wedding day, and you actually said that the auspicious sign of the Crown Princess was just a little trick, what is your intention?"

Prince Yong was wearing a purple dragon robe. When he looked up, his eyes were filled with contempt. "These are just some tricks in the martial arts world. How can they be regarded as a good omen? This is simply ridiculous!"

"Uncle, please be careful with your words!" Xiao Bicheng's voice became sharp, and annoyance appeared on his face.

Bai Yingxue grabbed his sleeve and asked pitifully, "Your Highness, have I offended the Emperor's uncle in some way? Why is he slandering me like this?"

Such weak and miserable behavior cannot support the majesty of a future mother of a country.

All the civil and military officials below sighed and shook their heads.

Xiao Bicheng just fell for it. He raised his hand, patted the back of her hand, and sneered, "Some people can't accept the proposal, and can't stand seeing others doing well, so they become malicious and slander others wantonly. It's ridiculous! Don't worry, Xue'er, I will never sit idly by!"

What this meant was simply to tell everyone that the reason why Prince Yong jumped out and spoke nonsense was because he had failed in his proposal to Bai Yingxue and was deliberately setting a trap here.

As Prince Yong listened, his expression became more and more disdainful.

If he had not believed the rumor that "whoever gets the Saint Girl can get the world", he would have considered himself blind if he had looked at Bai Yingxue for even one more second!

"Slander? I just don't want everyone to continue to be kept in the dark by this witch! Want to see auspicious signs? Okay, I'll show you one too!"

As he spoke, he stepped out, dust rose up all around him, and four angry-looking Vajras appeared instantly, guarding him.

That formation was even more powerful than the Buddha's light outside the Heavenly Prison when Bai Yingxue was pregnant with the true dragon offspring!

Everyone opened their mouths in shock.

Prince Yong raised his chin with a proud look on his face, "Everyone has seen it, I am also a person blessed with auspicious signs. According to the Crown Princess, wouldn't I be a saint?"

King Kong's angry eyes are enough to scare people.

The timid ones were about to kneel down and worship, but they were grabbed by someone.

"You are really old and confused. Didn't His Royal Highness Prince Yong just say that these are just tricks!"

"If it's all a trick, then what are all the auspicious signs that the Crown Princess had before?"

"What does it matter? She is taking everyone in the world for a fool!"

Hearing the discussion, Xiao Bicheng looked grim, frowned and looked at Bai Yingxue, almost gritting his teeth, "What's going on?"

Bai Yingxue looked innocent and bewildered, "I... I don't know... Ah Cheng, please believe me... I really don't know anything..."

At the Landu Festival, she danced so stunningly that the world was astonished, her lotus steps brought forth flowers, and all things welcomed spring. For some unknown reason, she was considered a saint.

At first, she was confused, terrified, and at a loss, not understanding what was going on.

But the respect and flattery from the crowd soon made her lose her way.

Even the prince and the crown prince fought for her.

She seemed to be pushed into the clouds all of a sudden.

So much so that she slowly dispelled her doubts and speculations, and just enjoyed the title of saint, which brought her fame and status.

After she was thrown into prison, she did think about the strangeness of it.

But what if you notice it?

On the day when the news of her pregnancy came out, strange phenomena occurred in the sky, and she once again ignored all the rumors outside.

Because she no longer wanted to stay in that cruel, inhumane and dark prison!

It was just her past acquiescence that made her speechless today.

She just said she didn't know and didn't even know how to explain.

"You know nothing?" Xiao Bichen looked at her with eyes as cold as the abyss.

She became famous because of her title as a saint, and became the crown princess because of the reincarnation of a real dragon in her belly.

She got all the benefits, and she said she knew nothing?

Who would believe it?

Bai Yingxue's face turned pale, unable to defend herself, "Ah Cheng, believe me, I..."

Xiao Bicheng closed his eyes and pulled his hand out inch by inch.

He can't even protect himself now, how can he trust her?

A group of ministers were filled with righteous indignation and they all submitted petitions, "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess has been deceiving and using tricks to pretend that it is a sign of good fortune from heaven. Not only has she fooled Your Majesty, she has also deceived the people of the world. We beg Your Majesty to severely punish the Crown Princess as a warning to others!"

"I beg Your Majesty to severely punish the Crown Princess as a warning to others!"

Looking at the crowd of civil and military officials, Emperor Zhaowen coughed twice and his eyes fell on Xiao Jinxuan standing beside him.

"Seventeenth brother, what's going on?"

Regardless of whether it is auspicious signs or magic tricks, these things should not appear in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

Since Xiao Jinxuan was in charge of this matter, how could he have made such a big mistake?

Xiao Jinxuan frowned slightly, as if he remembered something, but quickly returned to normal, "It was my negligence." Was it really his negligence?

Emperor Zhaowen looked at him deeply, then retracted his gaze and spoke sternly, "Today is the Crown Prince's wedding, a great day. If you have anything to say, wait until the wedding is over. Don't let the world laugh at you."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately understood that the emperor wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter and to suppress the matter for the prince.

However, Prince Yong seemed to have expected this to happen and was not in a hurry at all.

At this moment, several soldiers came hurriedly and whispered a few words into the eunuch's ear.

When the eunuch heard this, he opened his eyes wide in shock. He did not dare to delay and immediately reported it to Emperor Zhaowen.

"Your Majesty, this is bad. There are stages set up everywhere in the capital to perform magic tricks. The common people all know that the auspicious sign of the Crown Princess was a magic trick!"

Those stages were originally built to celebrate the prince's wedding, but now they have become the last straw that destroys the marriage.

Everyone in the world knows that the current Crown Princess is a big liar!

There were endless protests and curses.

Many people even picked up hammers and smashed the ancestral temple that had been built for Bai Yingxue into pieces.

They gathered outside the imperial city gate, waiting for an explanation!

Now even if Emperor Zhaowen wanted to suppress this matter, he couldn't do it!

Princess Yunheng passed on every piece of news from the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony to Xie Zhuoning.

"Sister Ning, you don't know. This is the first time I've seen my brother, the Crown Prince, change his expression so quickly! Not only did he push the Crown Princess away, he also said that he knew nothing and was completely deceived!"

No matter what Bai Yingxue is like, she is still pregnant after all.

Pushing a pregnant woman out as a shield is really unmanly!

She was quite puzzled, "I remember my brother was not like this before."

Xie Zhuoning listened, but was not surprised.

This is Xiao Bichen's true face. In his heart, he always comes first. He was just pretending in the past.

"Sister Ning, guess what happened next?" Princess Yunheng rolled her eyes and deliberately kept the question in suspense.
