Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

Xie Jinglan looked at Sikong Xiao opposite her. If the story about Princess Yuzhu keeping a lover was true, she didn't believe that he didn't know about it.

But at this moment he sat there quietly without saying a word, or perhaps he knew everything but just didn't dare to say it or didn't want to say it.

"I'm wrongly accusing you?" Beitang Yuan walked up to Princess Yuzhu and stared at her with a cold smile. "You want to confess, right? It seems you won't cry until you see the coffin."

He pulled out several indentures and receipts from his sleeves and said, "Father, these are their indentures, along with several receipts stamped with Sikong Daiyi's personal order. This woman sold all her face masks, which she was tired of, to the same Nanfeng Pavilion."

"Very good, Eunuch Wang, present it." Emperor Kunming said.

"As you wish." Eunuch Wang hurried forward, took the indentures and receipts, and handed them over to Emperor Kunming.

"I didn't do this." Princess Yuzhu suddenly cried out, looking at Beitang Yuan with a heartbroken expression.

"My cousin, Dai Yi only admires you and wants to marry you. Since you don't like me, I won't marry you. Why did you find these people and make these false testimonies to deliberately slander my reputation?"

"Deliberately slandering your reputation? Now that the truth has been revealed, you want to back off and bite this prince, right?" Beitang Yuan clenched his fists at his side and resisted the urge to kick.

"Bring the people up!"

Just as he finished speaking, Hu Xiu brought another person in from outside the hall.

This was a fat woman in her forties, wearing a bright red dress and a large red flower on her head. Her hair looked as if it had not been washed or combed for a long time. The thick rouge on her face had faded, and she looked as funny as a clown.

Even though this woman was knowledgeable, cunning and sly, it was her first time in a place like the palace, where the atmosphere was solemn and austere. Now that everyone's eyes were on her, she was still trembling with fear.

"Kneel down!" Hu Xiu shouted.

The woman was so frightened that she instinctively knelt down and banged her head heavily on the ground, "I bow to Your Majesty..."

When Princess Yuzhu saw this woman, she no longer pretended to be aggrieved, and there was a hint of resentment in her eyes.

This Beitang Yuan was just a short-lived ghost. She was already flattering him by liking him. What right did he have to hate her so much? And he went to so much trouble to find these people, just to slander her?

"Who are you?" Emperor Kunming spoke in a majestic voice in the palace.

"I am the mother of Nanfeng Pavilion in Nanyang State..." The woman crawled on the ground, not daring to look up.

"Then do you recognize this Princess Yuzhu?" Emperor Kunming asked again.

"I recognize her. Princess Yuzhu has been doing business with me over the past few years." The woman answered truthfully.

After she was knocked unconscious and sent to Shengjing, Yuyong Kingdom, Beitang Yuan had already interrogated her. In order to save her life, she now answered everything truthfully and did not dare to hide anything.

Afterwards, she confessed all the transactions between her and Princess Yuzhu.

"Queen Nanyang, Princess Yuzhu, what do you have to say now?" Beitang Yuan called her Queen Nanyang only as someone from the Nanyang Kingdom, not his aunt, and had nothing to do with the Yuyong Kingdom.

Emperor Kunming was also very disappointed with his imperial sister. Perhaps, from the day she married into the Kingdom of Nanyang, they could no longer go back to the past.

"I have nothing to say. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like Yuzhu, Yuzhu won't marry him." Sikong Daiyi looked indifferent.

Seeing Beitang Yuan's disrespect for Nanyang, a minister felt it was too much. "Your Highness, as the Crown Prince of Yuyong, you have captured the people of Nanyang and brought them here. Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Jing Beitang Huan, who had been silent the whole time, could not help but stand up and say, "This lord is really good at making accusations first. If your Nanyang Kingdom had not sent such a promiscuous woman to marry, how could the Crown Prince have found these witnesses?

If he hadn't found these witnesses, would you have forced him to marry a woman as unfaithful and impure as Princess Yuzhu? We should be the ones to hold you accountable.

You claim to be here for peace between our two countries, yet you send such a filthy woman as your bride. What are your intentions? Are you actually trying to insult the Crown Prince? Now, we have to doubt the sincerity of your visit from the Nanyang Kingdom."

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers of Yuyong Kingdom nodded frequently, and they all felt that what he said made sense.

Look at Princess Yuzhu's attitude. Even though her scandal was exposed in public, she still looked shameless and had no idea what shame was.

"Prince Jing, aren't you exaggerating too much? Even if the marriage fails, the friendship between the two states remains. I have been married to the Nanyang Kingdom for 25 years, which has brought peace to the two countries for 25 years."

Beitang Hui was annoyed. These juniors didn't take her seriously and completely forgot how the Yuyong Kingdom had achieved peace over the years.

"Alright, all of you, cut the crap!" the Queen Mother, who had been silent for a long time, said, "Yuan'er, as the Crown Prince, will never marry an unfaithful woman, lest she bring forth bastards and taint the bloodline of the Beitang royal family. Therefore, the marriage with the Nanyang Kingdom is now over."

The Queen Mother's words ended the farce. After all, they were the host country, and they couldn't let the two countries be unhappy because of a woman. Moreover, the envoys of Luofeng Kingdom were also here, and they couldn't let them laugh at them.

The envoys from Nanyang felt their faces burning. Princess Yuzhu had really brought shame to the people of Nanyang.

"As for these people from Nanyang Kingdom, Prince, you should send them back safely!" the Queen Mother said again.

"Grandson understands." Beitang Yuan raised his hand and asked someone to take these people from Nanyang Kingdom away.

Everyone took their seats and the hall became quiet, but the atmosphere was a little depressing because of what had just happened.

Especially Beitang Yuan, who exudes an aura that says "keep away from strangers."

Eunuch Wang stepped forward and shouted, "Sing and dance!"

The pleasant sound of stringed instruments rang out, instantly dispelling the oppressive atmosphere.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank while enjoying the singing and dancing.

After more than a quarter of an hour, this round of dance ended and all the dancers withdrew.

Because of Yuzhu's loss of virginity, the Nanyang Kingdom was in the wrong, and Beitang Hui also felt embarrassed and kept silent.

Xie Jinglan looked at the envoys from Luofeng Kingdom across from her. It should be their turn to perform now! This Lin Ruyan should be their protagonist.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Mu Wenye stand up and said to Emperor Kunming, "Your Majesty Yuyong, I have come here to promote peace between our two countries. To show my sincerity, my sister Princess Mingjing also wants to choose a husband from among these princes."

Hearing this, everyone looked at the veiled woman.

I secretly wondered in my heart, since the princess of Nanyang Kingdom kept a lover, could it be that Princess Mingjing was also an unclean woman?
