Chapter 848: Hope in Despair
Chapter 848: Hope in Despair
Zhang Miaoying was frightened by Leng Rongyue's words and her face turned pale. "No, no... No... No..."
Zhang Miaoying quickly stopped Leng Rongyue, preventing her from continuing to speak, "Nothing, nothing!
It's just that my sister is stupid, overestimating her own abilities, and secretly admiring him!"
Cold sweat instantly covered Zhang Miaoying's face, and her clothes were instantly soaked with sweat...
In this late autumn season, Zhang Miaoying felt the chill biting and couldn't stop shivering all over!
Zhang Miaoying wailed in her heart...Oh my God!
This Leng Rongyue, every word she said was sending Zhang Miaotong and the Cifu Mansion to their death!
How dare you falsely accuse His Royal Highness Prince Yu and her, Zhang Miaotong, of having a verbal promise, or even an engagement?
Ha ha!
When has His Royal Highness Prince Yu ever looked at Zhang Miaotong straight in the eye?
If you dare to make false accusations out of nothing, you have to consider who is being falsely accused!
Falsely accusing His Royal Highness Prince Yu?
In the blink of an eye, the entire Cifu Mansion will be reduced to dust!
Do you dare to frame the emperor?
Are you falsely accusing the Emperor of having previously arranged a marriage between Zhang Miaotong and His Royal Highness Prince Yu, and now he's breaking his promise?
Zhang Miaoying almost cried!
Not to mention accusing the emperor, she didn't even dare to have the thought!
If anyone dares to slander the emperor, not only the people in the Second Prime Minister's Mansion, but even the rats in the Mansion will die miserably!
Leng Rongyue, do you not want the people in the Cifu Mansion to survive?
As for Leng Rongyue stealing someone's love...
From the very beginning, the emperor had arranged a marriage with Leng Rongyue;
His Highness Prince Yu also treats Leng Rongyue wholeheartedly;
At this moment, His Royal Highness Prince Yu is still with Leng Rongyue.
When did Leng Rongyue draw his sword?
When will you take love away from her, Zhang Miaotong?
Besides, is it possible for someone to steal someone else's love?
The love that other people have cannot be taken away by Zhang Miaotong even with a sword!
"Princess Rongyue, just now...just now my words were inappropriate. I apologize to Princess Rongyue!
His Royal Highness Prince Yi and His Royal Highness Prince Yu are cousins, and we will be a family in the future!
Princess Rongyue...can you please, for the sake of our family, let my sister go and forgive her this time?
Even if...even if she was punished to be trapped in the backyard of the Second Auxiliary Mansion forever;
Or... or send her to a nunnery, let her spend the rest of her life in seclusion!
Anyway, spare her life... okay?"
Zhang Miaoying begged so humbly that she almost knelt down.
Because Zhang Miaoying knew that if Leng Rongyue could let Zhang Miaotong live, it would mean that Leng Rongyue was willing to let Zhang Miaotong go;
Leng Rongyue is willing to let Zhang Miaotong go, which means that His Royal Highness Prince Yu and the current Emperor can stop pursuing this matter and stop holding the Cifu Mansion accountable!
The key to all of this lies in Leng Rongyue, and Zhang Miaoying finally understands it!
Zhang Miaoying looked at Leng Rongyue eagerly, but through the gauze veil, she couldn't see the expression on Leng Rongyue's face at all.
However, Zhang Miaoying heard Leng Rongyue's clear and calm words clearly.
“Princess Yi’s words…this princess heard;
This princess can understand Princess Yi's desire to protect your sister."
Before Zhang Miaoying could breathe a sigh of relief, Leng Rongyue continued, "However, this princess would like to ask Princess Yi a question:
Can an individual be greater than his family and country?
Can selfishness be greater than the law?
Can a minister be greater than the king?"
"This...this...Princess Rongyue...what you said..."
Zhang Miaoying was in great trouble!
How could she answer this?
The answer is no, Zhang Miaotong will die and the Cifu Mansion will be destroyed!
The answer is yes, you will die faster!
"Can't Princess Yi answer?
Are these questions difficult to answer?
Then it will not be difficult for this princess to answer for Princess Yi!"
Leng Rongyue walked down the steps and stopped a few steps in front of Zheng Tong, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, and bowed slightly, "Your Excellency, I believe you have already read my petition.
This princess has another most important piece of evidence here, which I will hand over to the prefect later. It is a handwritten letter written to this princess by the lawless Zhang Miaotong!
Since the prefect has come here in person, the place outside the gate of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion can be regarded as a temporary court!
Here, there are so many citizens of Jingyue Kingdom watching.
This princess would like to ask the prefect for permission to make public the contents of the letter Zhang Miaotong wrote to her, and to let the prefect and everyone present here judge whether Zhang Miaotong's crime... can be forgiven?"
After hearing Leng Rongyue's words, Shuntian Prefecture Governor Zheng Tong looked at Xiao Jingyu, who was standing behind Leng Rongyue with his hands behind his back. Without giving it any thought, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Highness agrees that Princess Chengxian may make public the contents of the handwritten letter she received from Zhang Miaotong!"
"no, do not want……"
Zhang Miaoying subconsciously wanted to stop it.
She knows her sister too well!
She believed that once the contents of the letter were made public, there would be no turning back.
But no one paid attention to her wishes.
"Thank you, Lord Prefect!"
Leng Rongyue turned around and looked at Qingyi.
Qingyi nodded in acceptance, unfolded the letter in his hand again, and was about to read aloud when he heard the sound of hurried horse hooves coming from afar.
Qing Yi and everyone present looked towards the distance at the same time...
Then a luxurious carriage with the conspicuous logo of Prince Yi's Palace was seen galloping towards this side.
It’s Prince Yi Xiao Jingyi who has arrived!
When the onlookers saw that it was the carriage from Prince Yi's palace, they dared not block the road and moved to the sides of the road.
When Zhang Miaoying saw Xiao Jingyi's carriage, a glimmer of hope appeared in her desperate heart.
Even Wang Shi who was standing by and Zhang Miaotong who was lying on the ground unable to move, suddenly had a glimmer of hope in their eyes!
