No one in the room wanted to talk about this matter anymore, but there happened to be a nosy outsider in the room.
He suddenly reached out to block Ling Xiang's way, grinning in a scoundrelly manner: "Miss Ling, you came to the banquet just for no reason, but you were kidnapped. If you don't seek justice for this, where will Mr. Ling's face be?"
He is just a typical person who enjoys watching the fun and doesn't mind getting involved.
Ling Xiang's eyes were rolling to the sky.
She knew Qin Wang Nangong Yu's character very well. Gao Zhenzhen was his Achilles' heel. Anyone who dared to target her was seeking death.
This time, the King of Qin put the blame on Gao Zhenzhen, but he didn't intend to let Gao Zhenzhen do anything. As long as the person behind the scenes knew that it was Gao Zhenzhen who did it, he would not suspect her.
So, she really planned to leave like this.
But since someone doesn't want her to leave, then she won't leave.
She looked up in surprise and looked at Xuanyuan Qi expectantly: "Your Highness Prince Huai, are you going to make the decision for me? Thank you, Your Highness Prince Huai!"
"You are the first woman who dares to let me make the decision." Xuanyuan Qi narrowed his eyes dangerously, slowly approached Ling Xiang, and said with a smile,
"However, if you give me 10,000 taels of silver as a reward, I can reluctantly help you!"
Another ten thousand taels? How obsessed was Xuanyuan Qi with ten thousand taels?
etc!
Although Prince Huai likes to meddle in other people's affairs, Prince Qin is not someone to be trifled with. No matter how cynical Prince Huai is, he will not be too presumptuous in front of Prince Qin.
So, when the Prince of Huai jumped out to stir up trouble this time and mentioned the ten thousand taels again, could it be that—
Did he recognize her?
No, impossible!
When she wiped the ash off her face just now, she wiped off a lot of ash, so Prince Huai must have simply wanted ten thousand taels!
The expectation in Ling Xiang's eyes dimmed little by little, and he slowly lowered his eyes and said in a difficult voice:
"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince Huai. However, my father once taught me that I should always seek the advice of my elders. Today's matter is of great importance. I will return home and inform my uncle and aunt of everything. I hope they will make the final decision."
She even brought up the Marquis of Zhenguo. Most people would certainly not make things difficult for her because of the former Marquis of Zhenguo.
But the two princes here are not ordinary people.
"If Miss Ling were to go back without knowing the reason, wouldn't our King Qin lose face?" Xuanyuan Qi flicked the dragon whiskers on his cheeks, showing a confident attitude.
"I have a good idea that can help Miss Ling find the maid who harmed you."
In the original novel, every time Prince Huai appears, he's either causing trouble or on his way to causing trouble. Can he offer good advice with good intentions? More like bad advice!
Ling Xiang's mouth twitched. "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, Prince Huai. However, I have no money and cannot repay your kindness. I dare not trouble you."
Ling Xiang's refusal was quite straightforward, and no one would say anything more after hearing it.
Only Xuanyuan Qi seemed to have not heard anything at all, and kept talking to himself: "No money? That's fine, I can pay it back slowly in the future. If that doesn't work, don't we still have the Zhenguo Hou Mansion? The monk may run away, but the temple cannot. I'm not in a hurry."
"I am afraid to add to the huge debt of my family. I beg Your Highness, Prince Huai to revoke your order." Ling Xiang was afraid that Xuanyuan Qi would ask her for money, so she immediately bowed to the King of Qin.
"I have thought of a way to find the maid who took me away from the banquet. I wonder if His Highness the Prince of Qin would agree to let me try it?"
Ling Xiang was found in her own courtyard after all. Gao Zhenzhen didn't want to be misunderstood and ruin her good image in the heart of the King of Qin. Moreover, she vaguely suspected that the person who would tie Ling Xiang here and frame her was probably the King of Qin's mother. If she could use Ling Xiang's hand to create a rift between the King of Qin and his mother, then no one would be able to stop her from marrying the King of Qin. She immediately agreed:
"Of course we have to find that maid and give Miss Ling justice. I wonder what Miss Ling plans to do?"
Since Gao Zhenzhen agreed, the King of Qin naturally would not offend Gao Zhenzhen and agreed as well.
In the flower hall of the Prince of Qin's mansion, Princess Yongle, the Prince of Qin's mother, was leading the guests to listen to opera and drink tea. The housekeeper brought people here to deliver a message, saying that the Prince of Qin was summoning all the female relatives to gather in the garden, and he also emphasized that Prince Huai was also present.
"What's going on?" Discussion immediately broke out in the hall, and everyone speculated quietly about the King of Qin's intentions.
"I heard that Prince Huai fell into the water. Are you going to interrogate us?"
All those present were the wives of high-ranking officials of the Dajing Empire. They were unwilling to interfere in the selection of the Qin King's concubine, but had to come because they received the invitation.
But now that they have come, they are involved in the turmoil in the Prince of Qin's Mansion for no reason. The key is that they are also involved with the devil that is Prince of Huai. It is really bad luck. How can they be happy?
"How can we interrogate guests for no reason?" The daughter of Minister Wang was still young and had never seen the power of the King of Huai and the King of Qin. She couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
The Shangshu's wife quickly covered her mouth and said, "From now on, you are not allowed to speak!"
Just kidding, anyone in the capital with a little knowledge still remembers clearly that the dignified Princess An Ning was kicked by the devil Huai Wang and was seriously injured and almost died because she said the wrong thing.
Not only that, Princess An Ning's father, Marquis Anqing, originally went to the emperor to seek justice for his daughter, but was implicated and dismissed from all his positions in the court.
It can be said that the Prince of Huai, relying on his own strength, turned the dignified Marquis of Anqing into a decoration without any real power.
