Pin Shanhe

Suddenly, Chu Lingyu walked over, facing Meng Wan's position.

At this moment, Meng Wan's heart also began to pound wildly.

Before she could even get excited, he was right in front of her.

But then she saw him walk past her and head towards the woman next to him.

At this moment, Meng Wan was dumbfounded.

Murong Xiao and Jun Qiyuan were also dumbfounded.

That person was actually Yun Dai?

How is that possible?

Chu Lingyu led Yun Dai to the emperor's presence and announced it in front of everyone.

"She is my imperial younger sister, the most esteemed eldest princess of Dongyue!"

Meng Wan's head exploded with a bang; she simply couldn't accept this outcome.

"No, this is impossible! The blood test that day showed our blood matched. You clearly said I was your royal sister, how could I possibly be this woman?"

Chu Lingyu said helplessly, "The blood test for kinship is not necessarily entirely accurate. On that day, because of the mark on your body, I mistakenly identified you. After investigation, I found that this girl not only had the mark, but also the totem and token of my Dongyue royal family. All signs indicate that she is my true royal sister!"

How could this happen?

She had been looking forward to it for so long, imagining herself becoming a princess soon and enjoying wealth and luxury from then on.

Everyone had to treat her with utmost respect, including Jun Anning and Shen Fu, whom she had always harbored resentment towards.

But to my utter surprise, it all came to nothing in the blink of an eye.

No, that can't be!

Murong Xiao spoke coldly: "What does Your Highness mean by this? You clearly acknowledged her identity back then, and now you're changing your mind so easily. Is this how the people of Dongyue act, changing their minds so frequently?"

Chu Lingyu's face also darkened, and his tone was extremely oppressive.

"The affairs of the Eastern Yue Imperial Family are none of the business of outsiders!"

"Meng Wan is now my imperial consort. Her affairs are my affairs. As her husband, shouldn't I seek justice for her?"

Meng Wan immediately put on a tearful expression, looking like a fragile vase.

"That day, you said yourself that you were my imperial brother. Was it all a lie? I never dared to dream of having any connection with the noble Princess Dongyue. If you weren't, why give me hope?"

When Shen Fu saw her like this, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.

This was her specialty: using her vulnerability to gain men's sympathy.

Jun Qiyuan was extremely pleased with this!

Although he was a prince, he spent the first eight years of his life outside the palace. Even after finally being recognized by his ancestors, he was still secretly gossiped about and called a "bastard".

Over the years, he has lived a cautious and timid life, and no one has truly respected him.

Only Meng Wan not only saved his life, but also loved and depended on him wholeheartedly.

He likes the feeling of being depended on.

Little did she know that her current pretense was utterly useless in front of those in real power.

She could see the disgust in Chu Lingyu's eyes!

But his inherent nobility and upbringing still made him patiently explain: "I was so eager to find my sister that I made a mistake by accident, so I had someone prepare ten thousand taels of silver as compensation for you."

How could ten thousand taels of silver compare to the noble status of a princess?

Meng Wan couldn't accept that her dream had been shattered, and she stubbornly grabbed his sleeve.

"No... I am the real princess, she is the imposter!"

This scene, witnessed by everyone, was met with ridicule and contempt.

It seems she's gone crazy wanting to be a princess!

However, no one would be willing to give up such immense wealth!

Jun Qiyuan was also unable to accept this turn of events, and in his loss of composure, he blurted out, "Impossible! You never mentioned any tokens or totems before. Now you suddenly bring them up. Who knows if this is some kind of secret conspiracy you've been plotting?"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the entire court hall froze.

Chu Lingyu narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "I have never made any public announcements regarding the princess. How does the Fourth Prince know so much about this?"

"I……"

Jun Qiyuan's heart sank.

Oh no, why did he just blurt out the truth?

The main reason is that he suffered a huge blow recently and saw this as his only chance to turn things around.

Now that his dream has been shattered, the shock he feels is no less than that of Meng Wan.

Meng Wan may only desire wealth and status, but he truly desires the supreme throne!

In his extreme disappointment and indignation, he momentarily lost his temper.

When I came to my senses, I saw strange looks coming from all directions, and my heart skipped a beat.

Murong Xiao clenched his fists inwardly. How could anyone be so stupid?

Although he and Jun Qiyuan had just been fighting fiercely over Meng Wan, that was only because they thought Meng Wan's status as a princess was a foregone conclusion.

Now that things have changed, a "united front" is necessary.

If Jun Qiyuan falls from power and then implicates him, then everything will be over.

He let out a cold laugh: "Is Your Highness humiliating me? You think you can buy this out for ten thousand taels of silver? You're really underestimating the Northern Dynasty."

Chu Lingyu immediately saw through his "feint to the east while attacking the west" tactic.

"Your Highness, isn't this a rather obvious shift in topic? Just a moment ago they were sworn enemies, and now they're talking about mutual redemption? This is truly an eye-opener for me!"

"you……"

Shen Fu almost burst out laughing. This person's words were far too venomous!

She could already see Murong Xiao's angry but helpless expression.

If he continues to interfere in this matter, it will undoubtedly confirm what the other party meant by "redeeming a love rival".

By then, his relationship with Jun Qiyuan will be impossible to hide!

At this moment, Jun Qiyuan was undoubtedly in a precarious position.

Emperor Yong suddenly realized, "Why is he still here?"

Didn't I just order him to be kicked out?

The guards were also witnessing such a shocking revelation for the first time, and they were so engrossed in watching that they forgot to carry out their orders.

Emperor Yong was furious and didn't know whether to scold the guards or blame Jun Qiyuan.

The most important thing right now is definitely the latter!

Why does he know so much about Princess Dongyue? Could it be that he's been secretly investigating?

Otherwise, how do you explain that Meng Wan almost became a princess?

If he really did use some trick in the dark to make Meng Wan impersonate a princess, but it was discovered, he would inevitably offend Dongyue.

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed, and his gaze toward Jun Qiyuan grew increasingly hostile.

This wretched child!

He will absolutely not let him off!

Fortunately, Jun Qiyuan reacted quickly and soon came up with an excuse.

"The incident of His Highness the Crown Prince's blood test to prove kinship that day has caused a great uproar. Everyone in the capital knows about it. If there really was any evidence, why didn't you bring it up directly at the time? Otherwise, this misunderstanding wouldn't have happened."

Chu Lingyu smiled bitterly to himself; there was no one to interfere back then!

As if sensing something, Shen Fu suddenly looked up and met his gaze.
