Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

Bai Ling suddenly knelt on the ground, tears welling up in her eyes, her voice trembling and determined.

"Father, please forgive Sister Bai Yue! She simply loved Qing Chen too much, and in a moment of confusion, she did such a ridiculous thing. When I learned that she had secretly replaced my marriage certificate with Qing Chen and married me to the Wulie Kingdom on my behalf, my heart was broken, but it was too late!"

"Without any other options, I could only privately change the marriage certificate between her and Qing Jie, and then marry her to Wenqu Country on her behalf..."

Bai Ling's voice trembled to the point of being almost intermittent, and tears fell like pearls from a broken string. With trembling hands, she slowly pulled out a yellowed marriage certificate from her sleeve and gently handed it to Yun Ruiyuan, her eyes full of determination and sorrow.

"This is the marriage certificate between Sister Bai Yue and Qing Jie. The original one was just a forgery I made on impulse!"

"Father, Queen Mother, I am fully aware of the grave crime of forging a state marriage and am willing to accept any punishment. But before I accept the punishment, please allow me to express my deepest apologies to Qing Jie. It is I who have betrayed his pure and profound love!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Yun Qingjie with tears in her eyes. Her eyes, full of grievance and reluctance, almost made Yun Qingjie unable to control himself. He wanted to go forward to comfort her, but in the end he stopped abruptly, turned around and knelt on his knees facing Yun Qingchen and Yun Ruiyuan, pleading earnestly.

"Father, Brother, Ling'er's actions are truly helpless. I hope you can understand her difficulties and not blame her. Moreover, although we are husband and wife, we have never crossed the line. She is still as pure and innocent as when we first met."

Seeing this, Mu Yuhan hurried forward, gently helped Bai Ling up, and caressed her softly.

"Ling'er, your heart is purer and stronger than anyone else's. This year, you've endured too much undue suffering."

"Yes, Ling'er, you don't need to feel guilty. Everything you've done is to defend the glory and dignity of Baihua and our Wenqu Nation. Compared to those who only care about their own interests and ignore the overall situation, your nobility is like the bright moonlight, unmatched."

Yun Ruiyuan's words were full of comfort, but he also did not forget to cast a stern glance at Bai Yue.

"This excuse is too far-fetched, isn't it? Shouldn't they get to the bottom of it and ask me how I managed to replace Bai Ling and marry into the Wu Lie Kingdom right under her nose? Did I use some kind of magic to bewitch her?"

Bai Yue felt that Bai Ling's excuse was an insult to her intelligence, but Xiao 1 said it as a matter of course.

"Ah, players, this is the charm of the child of luck. Logic and all that is nothing compared to the protagonist's halo. Even if she says the sun rises in the west, there will still be many people who believe her!"

Just as Bai Yue was watching Bai Ling's performance in silence, she finally wiped away her tears and told him her ultimate goal.

"Now that Qingchen's legs have healed and she's returned safely, it's time to clear up all these misunderstandings and entanglements! Father, Mother, I beg you to let Qingchen and I finally be together!"

Bai Ling looked so charming that people couldn't help but want to agree to all her requests. Yun Ruiyuan first looked at her gently, then looked directly at Bai Yue, with unquestionable majesty in his tone.

"Princess Baiyue, let me ask you, as a member of the royal family, don't you understand the meaning of national justice? Do you know that arbitrarily changing the marriage between two countries is a serious crime?"

Just when the atmosphere was tense, Mu Yuhan stepped forward at the right time. She approached Yun Ruiyuan gently and whispered to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Princess Baiyue may have made mistakes, but she has been by Qingchen's side for the past year. Even if she has no merit, she has certainly worked hard..."

"Yes, Father, please show some mercy and don't blame Xiaoyue. She... everything she did was due to her deep love for me. It's completely understandable!"

Yun Qingchen seemed to have woken up from a long dream. He looked at Yun Ruiyuan eagerly, his eyes full of pleading.

"Hey, since Yun Qingchen has pleaded for you, this..."

Just as Little 1 was speaking in surprise, Bai Yue asked it softly with an unquestionable calmness.

"Hey, Xiao 1, let me ask you, was this marriage certificate altered by the original owner or by Bai Ling?"

"Oh, of course it was Bai Ling who changed it. She even made up a bunch of lies about Yun Qingchen's unparalleled beauty and incomparable talent, fooling the original owner into willingly embarking on the thorny path of becoming a hostage consort. Hey, player, why are you asking this?"

Bai Yue ignored Xiao 1's response. Her eyes were as clear as spring water. She turned to Yun Ruiyuan and answered in a firm and clear voice.

"Your Majesty, please understand that I did not alter this marriage certificate. Bai Ling deceived me into marrying to Wulie Kingdom because she did not want to be a hostage!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze, and then Bai Ling's crying suddenly intensified. Like a child who had been wronged, she burst into tears and sobbed.

"Sister Bai Yue, how could you frame me like this? You clearly said it yourself, that you have had deep feelings for Qing Chen since childhood, you..."

"Ridiculous! I have never had any feelings for him, let alone fabricating such a lie!"

Bai Yue's face was frosty and he sneered at Bai Ling's acting skills.

However, before she could finish her words, a sudden force suddenly grabbed her shoulders and locked her tightly.

Yun Qingchen's eyes, which were usually as gentle as jade, were now bloodshot, and his expression was distorted, like an enraged beast.

"Say what you just said again!"

"I said, I don't love you..."

Although Bai Yue's voice was soft, every word was clear, like ice piercing the hot air.

"You don't love me? What on earth do you mean by that?!"

Yun Qingchen's sanity seemed to have been devoured by anger. He shook Bai Yue's body frantically, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, full of disbelief and despair.

"What I mean is that I just regard you as a close friend, and there is no romantic relationship in my heart."

Bai Yueshuang's clear eyes were full of confusion, as if she didn't understand why Yun Qingchen had such a big emotional ups and downs when she heard her say that she didn't love him.

"Haha...hahahaha!"

Yun Qingchen's laughter suddenly rang out, like a sudden thunder in spring, breaking the tranquility around him. At first, the laughter was a bit self-deprecating, but in an instant it was tainted with indescribable bitterness, and finally turned into a heart-wrenching wail.

He suddenly loosened his grip on Bai Yue's hand, as if releasing all his repression and struggle in that instant.

"Blood... Oh my God, my eldest brother... He actually vomited blood!"

Yun Qingchen was seen coughing violently, and every breath seemed to be his final struggle with life. Suddenly, a glaring red spilled out from the corner of his mouth, like a withered petal, sad and beautiful.

Then, his body fell down weakly, as if all his strength had been drained away, leaving only shock and panic spreading among the crowd.
