Chapter 145: Send you to the border to mine!
Yu'er looked embarrassed, wanting to say something but hesitant, trembling and not daring to speak.
But she felt sad in her heart. As expected, she had treated him as a friend these days, but she had never been sincere to him.
At this time, he asked her to bear false witness for her without thinking about her situation at all.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Jiang Wanrou was filled with fear and couldn't help but yell, "Yu'er, say something, why are you standing there?"
"Wanrou is right. I, I, I am with Wanrou."
Only then did Yu'er's eyes well up with tears as she nodded slightly and said yes.
In the eyes of others, Yu'er felt threatened and had to nod.
Xu Jincheng didn't care about anything else and told her everything that happened between them.
"Don't force me to bear false witness. Do you dare to say that you have been in love with me for a long time and sent me a letter saying that you would dedicate yourself to me?"
"I didn't say that! I still admire you? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? What kind of virtue do you think is worthy of my admiration?"
Xu Jincheng's hands were shaking with anger as he took out the letter from his pocket. "The letter you wrote to me is still here. It's all evidence."
"Would you like me to read it to you?"
Having said that, he ignored Jiang Wanrou's attempts to stop him and Jiang Yushi's death stare, and opened the letter to read, "Cousin, I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow. You can come with me then. I will give you a beautiful woman. I guarantee that you will be satisfied..."
Jiang Wanrou looked at the teasing and disdainful eyes of the crowd, and she broke down and shouted, "Enough, the beauty I'm talking about is not me, but Yuwen..."
"Bang——" Jiang Wanrou fell to the ground, with blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
Censor Jiang was the first to speak, "Excuse me, Your Majesty and the others for making fun of me. My daughter was frightened today and I'm afraid she has gone insane."
Ling Yueqing walked slowly to Jiang Wanrou's side and looked down at her. "What did Second Miss Jiang say about Yuwen just now? It seems that I am the only princess in Shengjing with the last name Yuwen. Could it be that you are talking about my father? My brother? ... Could it be that I am the princess?"
Everyone present was not a fool, or rather, they were all smart people. They looked at each other and understood each other tacitly. The matter was already very clear.
It was Jiang Wanrou who wanted to frame the princess, but ended up losing more than she gained and ended up getting herself involved.
Censor Jiang knew that he could no longer save his daughter, so he immediately distanced himself from her.
"Your Highness, this matter is due to my failure to discipline her strictly. However, I really don't know anything about what this rebellious girl did. Everything is up to Your Highness."
Jiang Wanrou looked at him in disbelief. Was this still the father who loved her so much on weekdays? What did he mean by that?
"Qingqing, how do you think we should deal with this matter today?"
Ling Yueqing said delicately, "Your Majesty, a gentleman should help others achieve their goals. Since the two of them are in love with each other, why not help them achieve their goal?"
Ling Yueqing emphasized the word "mutual love", which made Jiang Wanrou feel so angry that she wanted to bite her, but she was no longer qualified to speak.
"But if they live in Shengjing, it will inevitably affect the reputation of the Censorate. What should we do?" Ling Yueqing looked as if he was thinking carefully.
Censor Jiang snorted in his heart. After all, she was a woman in the harem. She had to have a good reputation for being tolerant and generous, but she also had to send the person to the manor.
This is a good idea. Send him to the farm, and when the storm has died down, find a reason to bring him back.
Then Censor Jiang said, "I have an extremely remote manor that can..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ling Yueqing, "I remember now! Your Majesty, is there a mine being mined at the border?"
"Qingqing is right. This is exactly what happened."
Censor Jiang was halfway through his words when his face turned red, and he listened quietly to Ling Yueqing's impassioned speech.
"Then let them go to the border to mine. Firstly, it is remote and no one will know about their...scandal today. They can live a good life. Secondly, they can contribute to our country of Li and fulfill their patriotism. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"
Ling Yueqing looked like she was thinking about both of them.
Xu Jincheng was so scared that he collapsed on the ground. Jiang Wanrou rolled over and threw a tantrum, "I won't go. I won't go even if I die."
"Qingqing is really an amazing woman. This is a very good idea."
"Chi Feng, arrange for someone to escort you two to the border. Remember to keep a close eye on them and don't let anything happen to you two."
"Yes." Chi Feng waved his hand, and several guards rushed up, dragged the two away. Although Jiang Wanrou cried and shouted that she would rather die than go, she did not dare to die after all.
The two were dragged away and the scene instantly became quiet.
Censor Jiang spoke with a tired look on his face, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Go."
Doctor Xu seemed to be hesitant to speak, which made Ling Yueqing curious, so she asked, "Doctor Xu, do you have anything to say?"
Doctor Xu quickly replied, "It's nothing serious, I just want to discuss with the prince. Can you please not let Guard Chi go when you call me in the future? I'm old, and my old bones can't take it anymore!"
"Okay!" Xiao Mingchen agreed readily. Doctor Xu thanked him and left with satisfaction.
In fact, Doctor Xu of the palace had the most experience in this matter. If he knew, he would definitely hold Doctor Xu's hand and say with tears in his eyes, "Brother, you don't know, no matter which guard goes, you can't handle it!!!"
In a short time, the romantic affair between Miss Jiang Er and her cousin spread throughout Shengjing.
Naturally, the beauty pageant had nothing to do with her.
Ling Yueqing also withdrew from the popular election competition. She had originally done so to piss off Jiang Wanrou, but now there was no need to do so. She also didn't like being criticized by others all day long.
The results of the popular election contest came out quickly. Ling Yue listened to the news and portraits brought back by Zhu Yu. Unexpectedly, the winner of the title of the most beautiful woman was an acquaintance.
"Princess, the third princess of Qi State, Chu Yunxue, is here to visit you." Mo Yu came to report.
"Speak of the devil and he will appear." Ling Yueqing placed the portrait on the table and said, "Let her in."
"Yes."
After Chu Yunxue came in, she bowed respectfully, "Yunxue pays respect to the princess."
"No need to be so polite, Third Princess. Please take a seat."
After Chu Yunxue sat down, Ling Yueqing spoke first, "Congratulations to the Third Princess for winning the title of the most beautiful woman. You really deserve it."
"Princess, you are too kind. It was only thanks to your withdrawal that Yunxue got the chance to take advantage of the situation."
Ling Yueqing did not dwell on this matter any further, and changed the question, "I wonder why the Third Princess came to the palace today? Are you still thinking about the prince?"
Chu Yunxue smiled slightly, "Princess, you are joking. Princess, you should be able to see that what I said at the banquet that day was just a temporary measure and should not be taken seriously."
"Oh, what is the third princess planning?"
"A place to stay."
