On Liu Tian Xin's face, there was a hint of hesitation and reluctance, as though it was a bit difficult to say it out loud.
"What is it? Is it hard to answer? "
Liu Tian Xin frowned. When she escaped the marriage, it was partly because he didn't know Yan Yuan, but he didn't expect his happiness in this lifetime to rest on a man he didn't know and didn't understand.
On the other hand, and the most important reason, was that she didn't want to be manipulated by Liu Cheng He in her entire life, and also didn't want to be used by Liu Cheng He as an exchange of benefits.
Of course, she couldn't say the second reason at this time. After all, if she said it like that, it proved that Zhang Mo's words were true, and the father-daughter relationship she had with Liu Cheng He wasn't that good.
Therefore, she could only choose the first option.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, because … "Because the guilty daughter already has a lover in the xieqing, she did not want to marry into the Prince Jing. Please forgive his, Your Majesty.
Liu Tian Xin knelt in front of Yan Shuo, her back straightened, and the words "already have someone to love" caused Yan Jue's expression to darken. She felt pain in her heart and mouth for a bit, as if something had been pulled out, leaving nothing behind.
He looked at Liu Tian Xin's honest face from the side of her face and felt more and more uncomfortable.
"So that's how it is."
Yan Shuo nodded, and looked at Yan Yuan with an unreadable gaze, then laughed: "Looks like Ninth Imperial Uncle almost ruined Princess Tian Xin's good marriage."
Yan Yuan did not refute him, and only clasped his hands at Kaiser as if it was tacit agreement. He stealthily glanced at Yan Jue, who had become silent for an instant.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Wang Shi felt that it was time for him to appear on stage.
He adjusted his sleeves, walked to the center and then cupped his hands to Yan Shuo: "Your majesty, the matter now is more or less settled, I wonder how Your majesty plans to handle this matter?"
"What does Prime Minister think?"
Yan Shuo asked.
Wang Shi's gaze turned towards Zhang Mo. Seeing Zhang Mo's entire body stiffened, the muscles on his face twitched in fear. In his heart, he had already scolded the eighteen generations of Yan Heng's ancestors.
At this time, he was already scammed by Yan Heng himself.
Although he did not know why Yan Heng would kindly write to him to "inform him" back then, he finally understood.
Yan Heng and Yan Yuan were simply not on par with each other, he wanted to deal with Crown Princess Jing and even deal with Yan Yuan, but he was used by him as a sword.
When Wang Shi cast his gaze over, his entire body was stiff, afraid that he would anger the King Jing and cause him no return on this trip to the Easternum.
He cast his gaze of expectation towards Wang Shi, and anxiously stared at his seemingly gentle and kind face, yet at the same time, incomparably shrewd and astute.
"Your majesty, in my opinion, this cannot be entirely blamed on the xieqing's Kaiser and Prime Minister Zhang. We boldly proposed a marriage alliance with the xieqing, almost ending Princess Tian Xin's marriage.
Wang Shi's words were extremely clever. Not only did he praise Kaiser and Yan Yuan, he also gave Zhang Mo a big step back. At the same time that Zhang Mo heaved a sigh of relief, he naturally remembered this favor.
Actually, Zhang Mo knew clearly in his heart that this matter was indeed caused by his xieqing. When Prince Jing proposed to marry Princess Tian Xin, he immediately gave her the fief used as a betrothal gift. In the end, Princess Tian Xin ran away from the marriage agreement and Kaiser even sent a fake over.
It was really unexpected for Wang Shi to blame all of his mistakes on them.
Although he had expected that the Easternum would not go to war with the xieqing over such a small matter, at the very least, he would receive some form of punishment. He did not expect that a few casual words from Wang Shi could resolve the embarrassing and dangerous situation.
Yan Shuo seemed to understand Wang Shi's intention, and followed his words, "Of course, if we knew that Princess Tian Xin has someone she likes, we wouldn't rashly propose a marriage with her, what does Zhang Xiang think?"
Yan Shuo looked at Zhang Mo and asked.
Although Zhang Mo did not know why this pair of monarchs let him off so easily, he understood that what they meant was not wrong, so he forced out a stiff smile and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and nodded: "It's because our princess does not have the good fortune to be together with the Prince Jing, when this humble subject goes back, I will definitely bring the Emperor's words to the Kaiser, and return the betrothal gift that the King Jing previously gave to us."
"Zhang Xiang, you're being too serious. There is no reason for us to take back the gift this king gave. Keep it in your country for now. Perhaps, the land will be yours in the near future."
Yan Yuan, who had been silent for a good while, suddenly opened his mouth, and the meaning of the last sentence was a little unclear, causing Zhang Mo and everyone else present to not be able to understand it.
She pursed her lips and gently pulled at the corners of her lips. Raising her head, he saw Yan Yuan winking slyly at her, and then looked at Yan Jue who was beside her.
Yan Jue was not in the mood to understand the meaning behind Yan Yuan's words, his mind was filled with thoughts of Liu Tian Xin telling Kaiser that she had a sweetheart in the xieqing.
The stuffy and empty feeling in his heart made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Yan Heng never thought that it would be such a result, it was as if in the end, he was the only one who wasn't human.
After messing around for a while, the fake Liu Tian Xin was fine, the escaped Liu Tian Xin was also fine, even Zhang Mo who was plotting the marriage was fine, in the end, he became the one who caused trouble.
Kaiser felt that he had some ulterior motive.
Yan Heng's face became extremely ugly at the moment. His expression became unsettled, as he did not expect himself to catch Yan Yuan and his wife red-faced, and act out his own show, only to realize that Yan Yuan and his wife's punishment was not satisfied, and not only did he not get any benefits, he even got Kaiser to charge him with some debts.
The more Yan Heng thought about it, the more unwilling he became, but no matter how unsatisfied he was, what could he do? Even the Kaiser was clearly trying to help Yan Yuan and his wife, so no matter how much he hated Yan Yuan, he couldn't act rashly in front of the Kaiser.
He could only forcefully endure it and didn't dare to say anything else.
"As for the two of you …"
Yan Shuo cast his gaze at Liu Ruo Qing and Liu Tian Xin, and said: "Death penalty can be avoided, but the crime cannot be avoided. The punishment that you deserve, cannot be lacking."
Hearing that, Liu Ruo Qing walked to Liu Tian Xin's side and knelt in front of him.
As long as she could keep her life, let her take dozens of slates or stay in jail for a period of time, she was willing to accept anything.
After all, she had not expected her impersonation to pass so easily from the beginning.
