Chapter 118 Fighting with the Princess

Everyone in the room was stunned. I was shocked. I stood up in surprise and went forward to take the broken engagement letter. When I saw it, I saw Prince Yi’s name written in black and white on the paper, with eye-catching red mud fingerprints.

"What are you doing, Your Majesty?" Xing'er walked up to me and asked Zhong Ming angrily.

"You traitor! Come back quickly!" Uncle Zhao cursed in a low voice. He came over and pulled Xing'er hard. After a few pulls, he didn't move, and then he hurriedly knelt down.

There was a loud "bang", and I was in a state of confusion. When I looked back, I saw my father Zi's face flushed, and at his feet was a purple sand teapot broken on the ground: "That's too much to bully! He was the one who proposed the kiss, now Just retreat if you want to. Our Lin family has no power, and we don’t want you to bully us like this..."

Zhong Ming arrived in such a hurry that Jin Niang, Aunt Xue and several maids had no time to leave, so they hid behind the screen.

Hearing that my father had thrown something, Aunt Xue did not care about the presence of her husband. She hurriedly came over and whispered to my father: "Master, please calm down. Even if we break off the engagement, there is always an explanation. Let's hear what this official said." explain."

I calmed down and turned around to look at Zhong Ming in confusion.

He lowered his eyes, bowed respectfully to me, and said solemnly: "The prince has been framed, and he is afraid that the girl's family will be harmed, so he has to take this step. I also ask the girl's family to leave the city immediately. The city gate will be closed later." Alright, the carriage is ready outside, and my servants will escort everyone to a safe place."

Just now I heard him say that the prince wanted to break off the engagement, and I was still calm. But after hearing this, my heart beat like a thunderbolt, and I asked in a trembling voice: "Where is the prince now?"

"Shang is still in the palace... The servant is waiting for the prince outside the palace gate. Someone from Concubine Hui's palace handed over this and told the servant to come and do it immediately."

"Framing what?"

"Conspiracy."

"Something happened to the prince?" Xing'er asked in shock.

Zhong Ming cupped his hands and said: "This matter has not yet been discussed. There is nothing happening in the palace, but the charges will be cleared sooner or later. However, the matter is serious, and I am afraid that if something happens, the girl's family has no power in the court and will not be implicated. , I am even more afraid that someone will add insult to injury, so I act like this first, and also ask Mr. Xing'er to go and handle it quickly. All the maids and servants in the house, except those from the Lin family, have been dismissed. Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, and Miss Lin, please go out with me. .”

Xing'er hurriedly ran outside after hearing this.

The maid helped Jin Niang out. Jin Niang's eyes were filled with tears and she kept saying in a panic: "What should we do? Will we be beheaded? Oh, God!"

Maybe the word "behead" scared everyone, and my father also panicked. He staggered a few steps towards the door and looked outside: "Will our family be punished? Conspiracy and treason are punishable by beheading. !”

Aunt Xue came over to help him and said: "There is no conviction yet. The prince has been framed. Once it is found out, everything will be fine. What's more, now that we have this marriage certificate, how can our family be punished? This official Just in case, let’s go out of the city with this official to take shelter.”

"Yes, that's what you said, let's leave quickly." My dad said hurriedly.

Jin Niang cried: "What should I do with the things at home? I have to bring some luggage."

Zhong Ming looked at me and said, "It's too late. Things are at home and no one dares to touch them. Let's get out of the city first. It will take half an hour to get to the city gate quickly. If it's later, we won't be able to leave the city today."

Jin Niang, Aunt Xue and I were riding in a carriage.

Driving along at a fast pace, while swaying, the rapid sound of horse hooves outside was like a torrential rain.

Jin Niang held my hand and wiped her tears and said: "I said at the beginning that it would be good to marry the royal family. How can I marry an ordinary person and live in peace and harmony for the rest of my life? When something goes wrong, it is said to be treason, but that is rebel……"

I frowned, and Aunt Xue said: "Madam, isn't it just hindsight when you say these things now? I have said them all and haven't verified them yet, so I'd better not say these things."

I took Jin Niang's hand and whispered, "Don't worry, Jin Niang. I used to work as a maid in the prince's palace, and I still know what the prince is doing. If others make false accusations, I have to use evidence to speak for myself."

"The girl is right. Prince Yi and the girl have met once before. They have a good relationship. The girl knows very well what Prince Yi is like," Aunt Xue said.

I remained silent, lifted the curtain and looked outside. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the city wall stretched for miles like a giant dragon. It was coming. Soon our family would leave the city. We didn’t know where we were going. Anyway, we wanted to stay away. When we got to the capital, inside... inside... I was suddenly startled. I shouted to the coachman to stop the car. I said to Jin Niang and Aunt Xue, "You go out of the city first, and I will come back to find you." Then I got out of the carriage. .

Xing'er rode a horse and followed the carriage closely.

When he saw me jumping off the carriage, he was also about to get off the horse. I shouted loudly: "Pull me on the horse!" He leaned over, took my arms with both hands, and gently lifted me to sit on the horse.

At this time, Zhong Ming also turned around and hurried over, anxiously saying: "The city gate is about to close, girl, it's better to take the carriage!"

I said to him from a distance: "Zhong Ming, my whole family is entrusted to you, take them out of the city quickly!"

After saying that, I pulled the reins hard, and the horse carried Xing'er and me towards the city.

I looked back and saw that Zhong Ming chased for a few steps, then stopped in a dilemma. Soon, he led the convoy to the city gate quickly.

In the field of vision, the motorcade became farther and farther away until it became blurry.

Xing'er said: "Miss, what are your plans? Where are we going?"

"Yiwangfu!"

In front of the front door of the house, there were about a dozen young men sitting on the steps, chatting and laughing. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, so I felt a little at ease.

A young boy came over, looked at me and Xing'er and said, "Who are you? This is Prince Yi's Mansion, if you have nothing to do, leave as soon as possible!"

I said, "Please let me know, Princess, that Lin Juanyun is here for an urgent visit." After saying that, I asked Xing'er to hand over a bag of silver.

The boy took the money, turned around and smiled at the boy behind him: "Isn't this the maid in our house who was taken over by the prince?"

Before he could even turn around, Xing'er kicked him ten feet away. He was lying on the ground unable to even make a sound.

Xing'er said coldly: "Please go in and report that my girl wants to see the princess."

The remaining boys hurriedly ran in.

It's been a long time.

The sky has darkened little by little.

A boy came out and led us in through the corner door.

It was the time to light the lanterns, and the maids lit the lanterns on the corridor one by one. The smell of flowers and trees was strong, and the sound of gurgling water in the yard was mixed with the chirping of insects. Walking in it felt like returning to the days when we were here again.

The house is still so peaceful, elegant and peaceful.

I think the prince is too cautious. Even if he is falsely accused, he can just check it out. Why should he be so nervous?

Xu's father is the prime minister. If something really happened, wouldn't the house be in chaos long ago?

Thinking like this, his steps became less urgent, and his mind changed a bit when he saw what Xu wanted to say.

In the Qingliang Pavilion, Mrs. Xu was sitting on the imperial concubine's couch, with a maid waving a fan behind her.

I stepped forward and saluted: "Lin Juanyun, a folk girl, pays her respects to the princess."

"Go, light a few more lamps. The room is so dark that you can't tell whether it's a human or a ghost." Mrs. Xu ignored him and just told the maid to go down.

When the room became bright, she asked me: "What are you doing here at this late hour?"
