Chapter 321 Don’t go too far!
Qinghe had disliked Liuyun for a long time. In the past, he often looked down upon him because he was a popular figure among the Third Prince.
Now that the third prince is about to be sent to marry, Liuyun will definitely go as part of the dowry.
Humph, you deserve it!
Looking at Liu Yun, a sinister and complacent smile flashed across his eyes: "Yes, Your Highness!"
As he said this he walked towards Liuyun, and Qinghe wanted to hide when he saw this.
"Catch him for me!"
Liuyun was captured by two burly palace servants on the left and right. Qinghe had a vicious smile on his face and raised his hands high.
Ji Ruxue's voice came: "Stop!"
"Snapped!……"
There was a loud slap.
Liu Yun was slapped twice and his face immediately became red and swollen.
There were two palm prints on the cheeks, which were particularly conspicuous on the fair skin.
Qinghe, the culprit who beat people, retreated behind Ji Lening and pretended to be frightened.
"Your Highness, I didn't stop on purpose. It was because Your Highness called me too late, so I just kept doing it... Please forgive me, Your Highness."
This is just telling lies with open eyes.
"Ugh... Your Highness~"
Liu Yun covered his face and looked at his own prince with grievance.
Ji Ruxue glared at Ji Lening angrily: "Sixth brother, don't go too far!"
"Excessive?"
Ji Lening glanced at Ji Ruxue and sneered, "Oh, I don't know who went too far, seducing my brother's fiancée and shamelessly trying to replace her. Who went too far!"
Ji Ruxue's face turned pale and she said defensively: "I didn't~"
Knowing that his sixth brother still misunderstood the relationship between him and General Xiahou, he explained with a wry smile.
"Sixth brother, you really misunderstood."
"At that time, my third brother didn't know how to swim, and it was General Xiahou who saved me. I was just weak all over at the time, and General Xiahou only helped me out of kindness, it was not what you thought." "You blamed me wrongly."
Seeing that he was still acting, Ji Lening laughed angrily: "Oh, do you think I'm blind and will believe that you didn't do it on purpose?"
"It just so happened that you were attacked while boating in the lake, and General Xiahou happened to save you. You were seen naked in public, and you wanted to marry him for saving your life. You wanted to get rid of the marriage by asking Xiahou Zhen to marry you, right?"
"I'm afraid you all already knew about General Xiahou's return to the capital. In order to avoid the marriage and find someone of equal status, you sacrificed me. Are you scheming against me?"
"You and your father are so calculating. Why didn't I see that you, Ji Ruxue, are so selfish and vicious before?"
"No, it's not like that~"
Ji Ruxue’s face turned pale and she shook her head, trying to explain.
He knew that the rumor in the palace was that he and his father had plotted this matter, and even the assassin was hired by his father, just to get him out of the marriage.
But, it really isn’t!
He did not want to marry, but his target at that time was King Beichen, and he just wanted to ask King Beichen to grant him a title.
There was no assassin at all, he just deliberately framed General Xiahou.
But no matter how he explained, no one believed him. Even his father was suspected and neglected by his mother, the Queen Mother.
He could have explained that his target was King Beichen, but wouldn't that be the same as his plot against General Xiahou, which was to get rid of the marriage alliance?
It's the same nature, there's no point in explaining it any further.
Perhaps this might make King Beichen angry, which would be even more counterproductive.
So, he couldn't say.
"Sixth brother, please listen to my explanation. I..."
"enough!"
Ji Lening's face was distorted and he glared at Ji Ruxue with resentment.
"Even if what you said is not true, don't you feel moved at all?"
"When your father was plotting against me, you didn't stand up to oppose it, did you?"
"Even if I didn't know beforehand, have you ever come to me to apologize these days?"
