The people around also echoed, expressing their sympathy for Qingcheng and their dissatisfaction with Shangguan Qing.

Shangguan Qing looked at everyone with disdain, and smiled at the prince.

At this moment, the prince suddenly made a surprising decision. He said excitedly, "Mother, I really can't stand it anymore! I must break off the engagement with this fool today!"

The Queen obviously hadn't anticipated this. She hesitated and said, "My Prince, can you wait a little longer? We must give an explanation to this matter."

However, the prince seemed to have made up his mind and replied firmly, "Mother, please have pity on me! I only want a gentle and kind woman like Qingcheng to accompany me for the rest of my life."

After hearing this, the queen seemed to remember something and nodded reluctantly in agreement.

When Shangguan Qing saw this, he knew in his heart that this matter must be hiding an unknown secret, which would make things interesting.

Shangguan Qing pretended to collapse as if she couldn't bear the blow, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Brother Crown Prince, why are you breaking off the engagement with me? I don't want to... I don't want to! This was decided by the Emperor and my father personally. I won't... I won't!"

As she spoke, she covered her face with her hands, tears streaming from between her fingers, washing away her makeup and leaving a faint rash, making her look extremely disgusting.

The prince was stunned. He had never seen Shangguan Qing behave so miserably.

He seemed to be frightened and didn't know what to say. He could only use his Qinggong skills and ran away at first, hoping to get rid of this trouble.

However, what he didn't expect was that Shangguan Qing seemed to be at full strength at this time, and he ran without any loss while dragging his heavy body.

She followed the prince closely, and kept shouting, "Brother Prince, wait for me! You can't do this to me!"

The prince was so frightened that his face turned pale and he ran desperately. As he ran, he looked back and saw Shangguan Qingzheng chasing him closely.

In desperation, he had to run towards the emperor's study, hoping to stop Shangguan Qing's crazy behavior.

Shangguan Qing still followed the prince closely. Although she was exhausted and out of breath, she still gritted her teeth and persevered.

She knew in her heart that if she gave up now, it would be difficult to encounter an opportunity like today in the future, not to mention that this could be considered as losing weight, so Shangguan Qing gritted her teeth and persevered.

At this moment, the man on the covered bridge, seeing the scene in front of him, narrowed his eyes, wrinkled his forehead, and walked towards the direction of the imperial study.

At this moment, the emperor in the imperial study was discussing state affairs with several ministers.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside. The emperor frowned and asked the eunuch beside him what happened.

The eunuch hurried out to check what was going on. After a while, he returned and reported, "Your Majesty, it was the Crown Prince and Miss Shangguan who were chasing and fighting outside."

When the emperor heard this, his face darkened.

At this time, the prince's voice was heard, full of fear.

"Father, Father, please save me! I'm about to be beaten to death by that idiot."

Eunuch Cui saw the situation and hurried to check it out. He then reported, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is running over, followed by Miss Shangguan, the Queen, and others."

The emperor frowned, clearly displeased, "Cui Dehai, you never speak again."

Cui Dehai said in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, why don't you take a look yourself?"

The emperor stood up helplessly and said unhappily, "My dear ministers, please follow me to take a look."

However, just as they left the imperial study, they saw the prince rushing over and suddenly kneeling on the ground. Shangguan Qing also rushed over behind him, panting and unable to stop at all, but his tone was still delicate, "Brother Prince, why are you running? No one can catch up with you."

The prince saw that Shangguan Qing almost vomited when he heard her words.

The prince said aggrievedly, "Father, please have mercy on me. I must break off my engagement with this fool today."

At this time, the queen and the noble ladies behind him also arrived, their minds became active, and they began to condemn Shangguan Qing.

"Your Majesty, this Shangguan Qing is truly outrageous. He dragged several of us into the muddy pond and beat us with a bamboo pole. The princess was even beaten so badly that she had to return to the palace injured."

After these words were spoken, the emperor's face darkened again, and everyone was waiting to see the show.

The emperor also looked at Shangguan Qing. Shangguan Qing saw a hint of confusion in the emperor's eyes. Shouldn't he deal with her at this time? Why did he seem to be waiting for him to explain?

Shangguan Qing certainly couldn't stand being slandered, so he said confidently, "You're talking nonsense! You were clearly playing a game with me. You started by playing with me with bamboo sticks. So, you're not going to admit defeat now that you've lost?"

The emperor and his ministers immediately understood what was going on.

The emperor seemed to understand what had happened and said lightly, "It's just a game, so if you lose, you lose. Why bring it to the emperor? How can that be proper?"

Shangguan Qing finally understood that there was no room for reasoning. He had originally wanted to explain himself, but now it was obvious that these noble ladies were looking for trouble, and he was let off.

Shangguan Qing was even more curious. The emperor had no intention of punishing anyone, but why? It seemed that the mystery was getting bigger and bigger.

However, the Crown Prince had an excuse, "Father, not only is this person stupid, but his words are also so vulgar. How can he be the Crown Princess of your son?"

At this time, the Prime Minister, Jiang Mingxi, the Crown Prince's grandfather, also spoke up at the right time, "Your Majesty, I think what the Crown Prince said makes sense. The Crown Princess will one day enter the Eastern Palace and become a role model for the nation. If a woman like this becomes the Crown Princess, how can she be a role model for women across the country? Wouldn't our Murong Nation become a laughing stock to our allies?"

The emperor fell into deep thought, while the others watched and watched what would happen.

Shangguan Qingchen understood clearly that there must be some conspiracy in this marriage, but he just didn't know it at the moment.

In this case, I must demand more interest.

Shangguan Qing suddenly sat on the ground and began to break down and cry, "Mother, Father, look, if you are gone, the prince will break off the engagement with his daughter. I will not live anymore."

When the queen saw this, her face turned very ugly, because she vaguely saw Concubine Qi and Concubine Jing watching from a distance. If the marriage could not be cancelled today, she would naturally be ridiculed by the two of them.

The Queen knelt on the ground and spoke earnestly, "Your Majesty, you have seen this woman is so vulgar and unbearable, like a shrew in the market. How can she be a role model for women in the world? Please, Your Majesty, give us mother and son a chance to live."

The emperor was instantly furious when he heard this. "What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't he alive and well?"

Everyone was shocked and really didn't know why. Even so, the emperor didn't cancel the engagement. However, Shangguan Qing knew that he must have what the emperor needed.

I don't like a scumbag like the prince. If I don't cancel the engagement today, it will probably be more difficult in the future.

Shangguan Qing then pretended to be stupid and said, "Your Majesty, if the Crown Prince wants me to cancel the engagement, it's not impossible, but I have to pay you some money."

Such a vulgar look disgusted everyone, and the emperor's face became even gloomier.

The prince instantly perked up when he saw it, "Okay, okay, I'll give you whatever you want."

Shangguan Qing naturally asked for a huge sum of money after hearing this, "I want one hundred thousand taels."

The prince gritted his teeth, but quickly calmed down, "Okay, I'll give it to you."

When Shangguan Qing saw that the prince was so happy, she knew that she had asked for less, so she would not be polite.

"Your Highness, I'm talking about one hundred thousand taels of gold. I like bright yellow things."

The prince almost fainted from anger at this sentence, everyone was shocked, and the emperor frowned suddenly.
