Chapter 701: Proof
y that, Princess Yinyue's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled. 。 "Of course, I would still deceive you" "You've deceived me countless times!" Princess YinYue retorted with a..."Ge'er, I'm so sorry..." Qian Yi'an really wanted to keep her, no matter how late it was, he could make it for her personally. But, he knew that Ge'er had to hurry to find her second brother, so he could only let go.
"It's nothing, Miss Ye's health is the most important. Go in and accompany her quickly. I'm leaving!" Xiao Yuge waved to her, then turned and left.
Qian Yi'an glanced back at the room and asked Lian Xin, who was beside him in a low voice, "Did she notice anything"
Lian Xin shook her head: "I haven't left for a single step from beginning to end, and I didn't see anything unusual about the Mistress. Miss Ye was the same, everything was normal."
Upon hearing this, Qian Yi'an let out a long sigh and gazed towards the direction where Xiao Yu Ge's figure had already vanished. "Go summon the Imperial Advisor here," he commanded. "Tell him that this palace has important matters to discuss!"
"Yes!"
On the way back, Xiao Yuge kept thinking about the pattern behind Ye Lin's ear. Although it was small and most people wouldn't notice it, she had seen it clearly just now. It definitely wasn't natural; it was drawn on by someone. And that pattern, she was sure she had seen it somewhere before, but she just couldn't remember where.
She patted her head. Usually, she remembered everything she saw very clearly. How could she not remember it at this crucial moment
"Ge'er, what's wrong with you" Qian Sichin kept staring at her, seeing her frown sometimes and tap her head sometimes, he couldn't help but wonder and asked.
"It's none of your business!" Xiao Yuge didn't even bother to pay him any mind, giving him a quick glance: "Your wounds are almost healed anyway. Starting tomorrow, I will go back to the palace and report to the Emperor. I won't be coming to your Prince's residence anymore."
"Sure." Unexpectedly, Qian Sichin thought for a moment but agreed readily.
"You, you agreed" He agreed so quickly, Xiao Yuge was still dumbfounded.
"What, is it that you're reluctant to leave me" Qian Sichin pressed her against the wall, his hand propping up beside her. His gaze unashamedly admired her beauty.
"Are you crazy!" Xiao Yuge was stunned by his sudden action, then angrily pushed him away: "If you're sick, you need to get treated!"
"My illness can only be cured by a song." Qian Sichin watched her flee, the corners of his lips unconsciously curling up. It turned out that teasing her was so amusing, he seemed to feel the joy of Xiao Huangshu.
However, he didn't see the wicked smile that curled up at Xiao Yu Ge's lips as she turned the corner: Qian Si Chen, I can't kill you, but I've come up with a more interesting way to deal with you than death. You'll never forget it!
Want to play cat and mouse Sounds good! Do you really think she's that naive fifteen or sixteen-year-old who knows nothing The woman in this body now is her from years in the future, someone who has lived a full life and been reborn. She is no longer that innocent girl.
With a whistle, Feng Yian appeared quietly behind Xiao Yu Ge.
"樓主!"
“Sister Feng, I have something for you to do immediately and quickly. This matter, you may find it difficult to accomplish alone. Go to Qianjigong and ask Brother Ye for help. Be sure to finish it before tomorrow morning!” Xiao Yuge knew that with their help, her plan could proceed smoothly.
"Yes!" Feng Yan'niang took the order and left.
The next day.
Xiao Yu Ge had indeed entered the palace early to report to the Emperor, saying that the prince's injuries had fully healed.
The Emperor didn't make things difficult for her and immediately restored her freedom. He then inquired about how she had been getting along with the Crown Prince these past few days. His words, both spoken and unspoken, seemed to be asking if there had been any progress in their relationship.
“Ge’er, you and Chen’er grew up together from childhood, and you had a marriage agreement since then. Although there were some misunderstandings later on because of certain things, luckily after twists and turns, you came back to the starting point, proving that you and Chen’er are a destined couple!” The empress beside her said with a smiling face, thinking that in front of the emperor, Xiao Yuge wouldn't refute her.
It's a pity, Xiao Yu Ge isn't the kind to swallow her anger. She immediately retorted: "Your Majesty, what you say is true. My engagement with the Prince has already been broken off. Now, I have married the Duke and there are official documents to prove it. I am the Duke's wife rightfully so. A loyal subject doesn't serve two masters, and a valiant woman doesn't marry two husbands. Having married the Duke, how could I possibly have any more romantic ties with the Prince"
Upon hearing this, the emperor's face darkened: "Ge'er, I have investigated the matter. Your marriage with the Wangye was a forced one under duress and cannot be held against you. Even though there are official documents, they are forged. Now that you are free, why can you not marry the prince"
"Your Majesty, Your humble servant dares to speak. You forced me to marry the Crown Prince, all because you suspect I am a woman of great destiny. If I can prove that I am not a woman of great destiny, will Your Majesty take back your order"
The Emperor and Empress looked at each other in surprise.
"If this servant girl can prove that she is not a woman of ill omen, Your Majesty, would you bestow upon her the honor of marrying the prince" This was the first time Xiao Yuge so desperately wished to marry Qian Tingxuan.
"How do you prove it" The Emperor narrowed his black eyes, sizing her up, clearly disbelieving.
I have heard that the Grand Tutor possesses a divine mirror called the Mirror of Heavenly Gaze. Legend has it, it can reveal one's past and future lives. If someone with a peculiar destiny walks before it, they will undoubtedly experience the wondrous phenomenon of blooming lotuses with every step. If I were to walk before the Mirror of Heavenly Gaze and nothing unusual happened, then it would prove that I am not truly the daughter of auspicious fortune.
The Emperor was also dubious, exchanging glances with the Empress before instructing An Gonggong to summon the State Diviner.
"Your Majesty, you haven't answered my plea. If I prove that I am not the chosen one, would you grant me permission to marry the Prince"
The emperor's sword eyebrows furrowed tightly, fixing his gaze on her for a long while before finally nodding. "Alright, if you can prove that you are not the blessed daughter of fate, then I shall allow you to marry the fifteenth prince."
"Your Majesty..." The Empress beside him seemed anxious.
The emperor stopped her and said to Xiao Yuge, "If you prove to be the daughter of destiny, you must convince the Fifteenth Prince to give up your engagement and marry the Crown Prince, how about it" He had learned from the Imperial Astrologer that Xiao Yuge was the true daughter of destiny, so he also wanted to take this opportunity to have Xiao Yuge agree to the marriage herself.
"Okay!" Xiao Yuge also nodded readily.
The Emperor, seeing her agree so readily, couldn't help but wonder: why was she so calm
Xiao Yu's lips curled into a slight smile. The Sky-Gazing Mirror belonged to the Grand Tutor, and the Grand Tutor was the Emperor's man. Therefore, using their things as proof was the best proof!
"Little Songbird, your fate hasn't been decided yet. In a few days it will be His Majesty's birthday. Would you like to dance for Him with the Princess of Guonan" The Empress suddenly spoke.
Xiao Yu Ge was speechless. The Empress knew that she and Xiao Yu Fu were now at odds, yet she insisted on bringing them together and even had them perform a dance. Was she trying to make things even more chaotic Besides, when speaking in front of the Emperor, she didn't even have a chance to refuse. How infuriating!" Her words were cut short as two lines of tears appeared on her face like blossoming flowers."Don't cry!" Xiao Yuge stopped her and asked, "Do you want to retrieve your memories"Ye Lin almost without...
