Before the prince finished speaking, he met Yun Chuyao's cold eyes. She was beautiful, especially her slightly upward eyes, which were even more exquisite. They were dark and deep, like a dry well or a cold pool. Look at it. One glance can even make people feel cold to the core.
Eyes facing each other.
The prince, who had been agitated because of Song Qinghuan's incident, miraculously regained his composure with a slight tremor in his heart.
"...Chu Yao."
Yun Chuyao nodded as a courtesy, but his expression remained calm and said, "Brother Emperor, are you here for Song Qinghuan?"
After saying that, she did not wait for the prince to refute, and said directly: "I think you also know what happened. Song Qinghuan dared to bribe the servants of the Ji family and slander my reputation. Naturally, he would have to bear my anger. Otherwise, in this world, Don’t everyone think that Princess Changle is weak and easy to bully and can be bullied at will?”
The prince's eyes were sharp and he said: "Who dares!"
No one can bully A Yao!
He has neglected her too much and done too many things to hurt her. He is frantically trying to make up for it. Who dares to cause trouble at this time? Don't blame him for being ruthless!
"Ayao, I heard about Qing Huan," the prince took a deep breath and said, "It is true that she was too impulsive and did something wrong. No matter how hard you punish her, your brother will not Prevent."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Yun Chuyao was stunned.
Did he take the wrong medicine? You actually want to stand up for yourself? She didn't feel moved, and even felt a little defensive, vaguely suspecting that the prince had other plans.
"but……"
The prince hesitated.
Yun Chuyao sighed and thought, sure enough, there is still a turning point.
Maybe he noticed Yun Chuyao's expression, or maybe he noticed Yun Chuyao's cold attitude towards him. The prince's heart tightened slightly, and a wry smile appeared on his lips. He could only whisper: "...but punishing Qing Huan is the only way to punish Qing Huan." Things need to be considered in the long term.”
"You expelled Qing Huan from the house and ordered her to kneel in the main street. This will certainly relieve her anger, but it will also push the royal family to the forefront and become the talk of the people in the city. What's more, Qing Huan grew up under the knee of her mother. She was punished. It will only make the people doubt the person who taught her."
The prince paused for a moment, then said with difficulty: "So, Qing Huan in the main street cannot kneel down."
"Then what does the emperor mean?"
Yun Chuyao raised her eyebrows, and a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes: "You're not asking me to be patient, are you?"
"how come!"
The prince seemed to be pricked by Yun Chuyao's almost sarcastic words. He raised his head suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Gu told her that if she dares to attack you again, Gu will never show mercy. Now, how can she be so gentle?" Spare her!"
Yun Chuyao raised her eyes: "Again?"
The prince's pupils shrank!
not good!
He said it!
He was slightly panicked, his eyes flickered twice, and he did not dare to look at Yun Chuyao again, and said repeatedly: "Gu, Gu means that I will never protect her. If you want her to kneel down, she will naturally do it." Kneel, but I don’t want her to kneel in the main street.”
"Then...the palace?"
Yun Chuyao curled her lips and said with a half-smile, "But it seems that the time for her to kneel as punishment should also be increased."
"You have the final say."
"Four hours."
Yun Chuyao said: "When will she kneel down for four hours, and when will she go to Kunning Palace to receive her punishment? How about that?"
The prince did not hesitate: "Yes."
Although she didn't know what the prince was thinking and why he helped her, when she thought that Song Qinghuan had knelt in the main street for a long time and would go back to the palace to kneel again, Yun Chuyao's depression dissipated and she felt much better. A sincere smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Tsk.
What fun.
What's the harm in doing such an interesting thing even if it happens a few more times?
The smile on her face deepened unconsciously.
Seeing the prince's slightly startled expression, he felt extremely sour in his heart, and an indescribable feeling of distress welled up in his heart.
Little A-Yao had suffered so many grievances that as soon as he was nicer to her, she lowered her guard and showed a sweet, soft smile. The prince's eyes gradually turned red just by looking at her.
As for Qing Huan.
The prince's face darkened slightly!
Two months ago, he had found out the truth about A Yao falling into the water, but he chose to hide it because of Qing Huan. He originally thought that Qing Huan would repent after this incident, but he did not expect that she would be so cruel. And again and again, he attacks A Yao!
How could he not be angry!
yes!
He prefers Qing Huan! But A Yao is his biological sister, and he feels no less guilty for A Yao than anyone else. Now that he sees Qing Huan changing her past gentleness and kindness, and targeting A Yao again and again, how can he not doubt her intentions?
Even for a moment, his long-lasting memory was loosened!
That little Ayao who was always angry and crying.
Did she really push Qing Huan?
Did she really say that Qing Huan has no father or mother, and is an orphan who has no one to love her?
…
The prince's face was gloomy, and his expression was a little ugly. For the first time in his life, he looked at himself with suspicion, and he also felt a trace of disgust towards Song Qinghuan, and this disgust was like a needle, piercing the tip of his heart, making him There was a rift between him and her.
But he didn't show his emotions. He only comforted Yun Chuyao for a few words, then turned around and walked out.
He wanted to see Song Qinghuan.
The prince walked very fast along the way, but despite this, when he arrived at the main street, the place where Song Qinghuan was was still surrounded by people. The prince had no choice but to suppress the irritability in his heart and ordered the guards to clear the way. Then he reluctantly stepped forward.
"Quickly, get out of the way! Someone is going to save the princess!"
"Bad princess?"
"What kind of memory do you have? Didn't you listen to what the soldiers said just now? This bad princess is very wicked. She specializes in throwing dirty water on girls who have not yet left the palace. As a result, people caught her. Look, this is not Did you drive her to the street and make her kneel down?"
"Hiss! What a vicious thought! She is so vicious, why is she crying so pitifully? People who don't know would think she was bullied by someone!"
"Just pretend."
Someone was discerning and spoke frankly: "My brother can pretend just as well as she does. He has obviously done something wrong. Whenever he cries, my mother scolds me. Do you think he is poisonous or not? Let me tell you, this princess is worse than My brother is still poisonous, no, I have to speak up and let everyone know about this bad princess!"
"Shh! Someone is coming to save her!"
"Isn't it? She is so bad, and someone comes to save her? Her concubine? Anyway, she is not a good bird!"
"Birds of a feather flock together!"
"..."
As soon as these words came out, not to mention the ugly expressions of the guards and eunuchs beside the prince, even the prince himself turned dark, his body stiffened slightly, and he stopped immediately!
Others don't care about the people or their own reputation, but can he not care? He is the prince. If he loses the support of the people, his power will be eroded by his sisters and brothers!
So the prince hesitated.
