Mu Qingyan glared at him and said, "I'm going to slap you two in public now and then say sorry to you. Can you please forgive me and not make a fuss about it?"

"This..." Kang Cheng was a little overwhelmed.

As the crown prince of a country, he naturally cannot be slapped in public. Otherwise, where would he and his country put their face?

But if he didn't answer, his words asking her to forgive him would seem so ironic.

"Look..." Mu Qingyan spread her hands, "Not all hurts can be healed with an apology. Do you know what you just said? If you were a woman with a thinner skin, you would have hit your head against the pillar and died on the spot to prove your innocence!"

"But you..."

Kang Cheng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mu Qingyan, "Me? I'm thick-skinned. If I were to commit suicide after being insulted, I would have died eight hundred times already. Besides, using death to prove one's innocence is a foolish act. Once dead, dead is dead. Once buried in the earth, who will care whether you are innocent or not?"

The women present nodded silently, as if they were inspired by something.

It seems to be true.

You were framed, and you died. The person who framed you suffered no loss... but you actually lost your life, and can only be buried in the earth, your body eroded by time, and your past forgotten by the world...

When Kang Cheng saw this portrait, he was very interested in the woman in it.

Those eyes were too bright.

There is a sense of mockery towards the world in her cleverness, and a hint of the worldly air in her coldness.

Her beauty is not the same as everyone else's, but has a kind of laziness and languor that is unique to her, yet not boring.

Today, I met her in person and had a fight with her, and only then did I realize how interesting this woman is.

"The girl is very insightful. I have learned a lot..."

Mu Qingyan looked at him with disdain on her face, "You can ruin my life with just a few words, and you can just let it go with a simple "I've learned my lesson"?"

Kang Cheng frowned, realizing that this Miss Mu was not an easy person to deal with.

But he made false accusations online, and that lame excuse was totally untenable. For now, we can only take one step at a time and see how it goes.

"What does that girl have to do to make her give up?"

She was so persistent, and Emperor Da'an had no intention of stopping her. It seemed that he wanted to use Miss Mu to give him, the Prince of Yi, a warning!

He had not agreed to the invasion of Chiling Pass with the Beiqi Alliance, but now that it had come to this, it was useless to regret it, and he could only try to calm the situation. If he could not take the opportunity to stir up internal strife in the Da'an royal family, his mission this time would be a failure.

Mu Qingyan looked at Prince Ling, "Prince, someone humiliated your fiancée in public, what are you going to do?"

It was obvious that Emperor Jianning and Prince Ling wanted to take advantage of the situation, and she was happy to go along with it.

After all, being publicly accused of having physical contact with a man is a great humiliation. Even if Kang Cheng has said that he was deceived, it is hard to say how many people will believe him and what rumors will spread in the streets.

Queen Mother Lan just wanted to kill her!

This idea looks like it was written by Mu Ruge.

They had no grudges against each other, but she wanted to kill her again and again...

Mu Qingyan glanced at Prince Ling, and her eyes inadvertently swept across Mu Ruge's face...

The arrogant person thought she had concealed it well enough, but Mu Qingyan still found clues in her infatuated and evasive eyes.

But in her dream, she didn't even glance at the mysterious King Chong, who had a close relationship with her.

Prince Ling stood up and faced Emperor Jianning solemnly. He looked like he was pouring out his grievances, but in fact, every word he said was directing the blame to Empress Dowager Lan and her daughter.

"Royal brother, today's palace banquet was originally held to celebrate the triumphant return of our Anguo army. However, since the palace banquet has not officially started, someone has been throwing dirty water on my fiancée. This is not to humiliate her, but to use her to humiliate me... During the period when the emperor is seriously ill, he cannot attend court and participate in government affairs, and he cannot live a peaceful life. If he stands in the court again in the future, I don't know what kind of trouble he will cause."

"Since someone cannot tolerate my brother and my wife, please abolish my title, Your Majesty, so that my wife and I can live a peaceful life."

His words sounded like a complaint, but they made everyone tremble with fear. They wanted to look in the direction of the Queen Mother but didn't dare to, so they could only lower their bodies and bury their heads, not daring to breathe.

Queen Mother Lan was furious but did not dare to show it.

Prince Ling retreated to advance, but in fact he wanted to tell her that he knew exactly who was the mastermind behind the assassination.

If she continued to make things difficult for Mu Qingyan, and the matter became public, it would be embarrassing for everyone.

Emperor Jianning's face changed drastically after hearing this. "You are my brother, born of the same mother. You are a man of both military and literary talents. You have made great contributions to Da'an. If I abolish your title, how will the world view me as their brother? As for the humiliation of Miss Mu, I will handle it properly and will not let anyone say anything unfavorable to Miss Mu."

After Emperor Jianning finished speaking, he glanced at the faces of everyone in the hall with a look of intimidation in his eyes.

Especially Princess Yunxi.

Prince Ling had just said that if such damaging remarks were to get out, the first person to bear the brunt would be Princess Yunxi.

Empress Dowager Lan originally wanted to use this incident to suppress Mu Qingyan and destroy her reputation so that she could see how much the Gu family loved their granddaughter.

She saw the attitude of Gu Yunhe and his wife.

It was obvious that he was trying to make things difficult for the Queen Mother.

At this moment, she regretted very much that she had listened to Lan's advice and asked the emperor to grant the marriage.

The original intention was to let her go to a dead end, but instead, it gave her something to rely on, and she even ignored her, the Queen Mother!

Emperor Jianning looked at the Crown Prince of Yi State again, "Your Highness has come from afar, and our Da'an is a country of etiquette. We should treat you with courtesy. But you shouldn't arbitrarily tarnish the reputation of others for your own selfish desires. Since Miss Mu wants to seek justice, let her tell you what kind of compensation she is willing to accept?"

Okay...

The ball was finally thrown back into Mu Qingyan's hands.

Kang Cheng felt miserable.

He is the crown prince of a country.

He came to the court on behalf of his country, but after being in the palace for such a long time, he didn't even have a stool.

It was a great humiliation for him to speak softly to a court lady! Moreover, there were civil and military officials and their wives in the palace.

But there is no way, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

Who made him want to plot against others first?

It's only right to suffer a little at this moment.

However, he sneered secretly in his heart.

It seems that there are deep conflicts between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor of Da'an!

Even with the presence of the prince of the enemy country, he did not hide the estrangement between them. What a pleasant surprise!
