Chapter 150: For the sake of Princess Jing’s reputation, Prince Xiaoyao should have less contact wit
"In our North Vietnam, if the princess does not return home all night with another man, she will be deposed, imprisoned or even sentenced to death. Third brother, how do you think your princess should be punished?" Emperor Ying looked at Chu Xingluo.
Xia Taoyuan couldn't help but shudder. It was so serious. She thought that at most he would divorce her and it would not affect anything else.
"Father, this is my fault. It has nothing to do with Zhiying. I made Zhiying misunderstand me." Chu Xingluo was a little anxious when he heard Emperor Ying say this. "Zhiying thought that the jade necklace was given to Yu Ye Linglong by me, so she ran away in anger."
Xia Taoyuan was stunned when he heard this. Wasn’t it the one he gave to Ye Linglong?
In fact, Emperor Ying was afraid that he would reveal that it was his fault, so he stopped Chu Xingluo from saying the following words in time: "It seems that you don't want your princess to be punished, so I promise not to punish you. But I also have a request, that is, you must marry Ye Linglong. You must not disobey my order! The date is set for ten days later. You don't have to do anything during these ten days. Everything will be handled by the people in the palace going to the palace. You can leave!"
As long as he could avoid punishing Taotao, he didn't care so much. Chu Xingluo went forward to hold Xia Taoyuan's hand, but Xia Taoyuan dodged, and Chu Xingluo felt uncomfortable again.
After leaving the imperial study, Xia Taoyuan walked towards Wei Jinghe. Wei Jinghe saw Chu Xingluo and smiled, "I didn't expect Prince Jing to be here here. Zhiying, brother has something to do. You and Prince Jing should go back together." Without waiting for Xia Taoyuan to speak, he ran away.
"When I entered the palace yesterday morning, my father asked me if I had any nice jewelry. I didn't know much about it, but I remembered that I had a jade necklace, so I told him about it. Then my father sent someone to go back to the palace with me to get it. It was my fault that I didn't discuss it with you in advance, and directly asked the butler to go to the treasury to get the jade necklace and give it to my father's people. Later, I met you and Yingge, and it really wasn't given to Ye Linglong by me." Chu Xingluo explained in a low voice.
Xia Taoyuan then realized that they had all been fooled by the emperor. Now that the matter was made clear, Chu Xingluo could no longer be blamed. This was not his fault.
"Let's go back!"
Seeing that Xia Taoyuan finally spoke, Chu Xingluo tried to hold her hand. She didn't refuse again, and Chu Xingluo finally felt relieved.
After returning to Prince Jing's Mansion, Xia Taoyuan asked Caiyun and Mingyue to clean up the West Garden as she was going to move there.
After she married Chu Xingluo, Xiyuan was her residence, but Chu Xingluo did not allow her to go, so she had been living in Chu Xingluo's Dongyuan. Now that the emperor had issued an ultimatum, she had no other choice but to move to Xiyuan and wait for Ye Linglong to come in. She couldn't be the only one to monopolize Chu Xingluo.
Seeing her like this, Chu Xingluo pulled her shoulders and said, "I won't let you go. You can only live here. I said I won't marry Ye Linglong, so I will never have any contact with her. Even if she enters the palace, I won't pay any attention to her."
Xia Taoyuan smiled helplessly: "Don't be childish, can't you see that your father is omnipotent? Since he can let Ye Linglong in, he can also find a way to let you sleep with Ye Linglong. After what happened, he now wishes I would die immediately. Didn't you see that he said I have no shame, haha."
"Don't you believe me again? I said I only want you. Remember, even if my father forces me to marry Ye Linglong, I will not be with her." Chu Xingluo looked into Xia Taoyuan's eyes, almost gritting his teeth.
Xia Taoyuan didn't say anything. She also realized that the reason why she was safe now was entirely because of Chu Xingluo's face. Speaking of it, Emperor Ying still loved Chu Xingluo very much. Maybe it was because of Xiao Rong, maybe it was because of Xiao Feng, maybe it was because of Chu Xingluo's childhood experience, which made Emperor Ying particularly tolerant of Chu Xingluo. Because of his tolerance for Chu Xingluo, he didn't punish her.
Looking up and seeing Chu Xingluo's innocent eyes, she sighed, raised her hand to touch his face, and tried to force a smile: "Let them clean up first, so that people won't say that I'm a jealous woman who monopolizes you. Also let someone clean up Beiyuan for Ye Linglong to live in. Beiyuan is big enough, and her maids and guards should be able to live there."
Qi Nanfeng entered the palace in the afternoon.
He told the story before Emperor Ying spoke. He said that he and Mu Yun saw Princess Jing being provoked by Ye Linglong on the street and was almost whipped by Ye Linglong. Because he knew Prince Jing, he did not stand idly by and saved Princess Jing. Mu Yun also fought with Ye Linglong because he could not stand her arrogance.
When he saw Princess Jing crying out of grievance, he offered to send her back home, but Princess Jing seemed to have some misunderstanding about Prince Jing and refused to go back.
He was afraid that Princess Jing would be upset so he followed her all the way. When they reached the mountain outside the city, Princess Jing shouted loudly and her mood calmed down. Later, as it was getting late and she was afraid that the city gates would be closed, she found an inn to rest.
Finally, he said that he was indeed inconsiderate and shouldn't have taken Princess Jing out, after all, there was a difference between men and women. But at that time, Princess Jing looked ashen, as if she had been greatly stimulated, and he was afraid that she would do something stupid.
After listening to Qi Nanfeng's explanation, Emperor Ying said nothing. He knew that it was he who had someone secretly give the jade necklace from Chu Xingluo's mansion to Ye Linglong, and said it was a token of love from Chu Xingluo, which made Princess Jing sad.
It was indeed his fault, but what could he do? The couple were both as stubborn as donkeys.
Although Qi Nanfeng had made it clear, Emperor Ying was still angry. He said unceremoniously, "I think that for the sake of Princess Jing's reputation, Prince Xiaoyao should have less contact with Prince Jing. Forget it this time. I was also wrong, but if it happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Emperor Ying looked at Qi Nanfeng with a warning in his eyes. He knew that this incident would spread all over the city. Ye Linglong said it in front of all the ministers, so there was no guarantee that some people would not tell others about it as a joke.
Qi Nanfeng left the palace, and he felt something blocked in his chest. Why didn't he see Xia Taoyuan? Then why did he return to Yunjun City? Did he watch you all make her suffer so much?
Just as Emperor Ying expected, the news that Princess Jing and Qi Nanfeng did not return home all night soon spread throughout Yunjun City.
In Prince Xuan's Mansion, Mu Yanran couldn't hide the smile on her face and said, "I told you, Wei Zhiying is not someone who keeps to her duties. Young Master Qi just returned to Yunjun City, and something like this happened."
Fang Muyao couldn't suppress the hatred in her heart and said resentfully: "This Wei Zhiying is so shameless. Has she forgotten her identity? I used to see her clarifying the matter of being kidnapped, and I thought she was so pure and innocent. I didn't expect that she couldn't stand the loneliness so soon and did such a shameless thing!" After being rejected by Qi Nanfeng, she blamed everything on Xia Taoyuan.
Zhang Qianqian smiled but said nothing. Because she admired Mu Yun before, she had misunderstood that there was something between Xia Taoyuan and Mu Yun, which led to her nonsense. But later things proved that it was all her imagination, so when she was with Mu Yanran and Fang Muyao, she almost stopped scolding Xia Taoyuan. Yesterday, Xia Taoyuan helped her maid Baoer, and she would not scold her again.
"After something like this happened, it depends on how the emperor punishes her. In the lighter case, she will be caned and imprisoned, and in the more serious case, she may even be deposed. Haha, Wei Zhiying will also have this day!" Mu Yanran really couldn't wait to go to the palace and tell the queen.
"You deserve it, you shameless bitch, you should be put to death!" Fang Muyao said hatefully.
