Su Yingxue glanced at her wrapped in Chu Jinlingâs clothes, still bearing the marks of abuse. She instantly understood and exclaimed angrily, âSomeone harmed you!â
She quickly checked Lin Sisiâs pulse and reported to Chu Mingyuan, âEmperor, Noble Consort, Sisi was drugged. She wouldnât engage in such actions with others!â
Even though Lin Sisi had a temper, she was an extremely honest and kind girl. She wholeheartedly loved Chu Jinling and would never betray him.
Moreover, their marriage was just around the corner!
âSu Yingxue, this matter has nothing to do with you. Leave quickly!â A hint of disgust appeared in Chu Mingyuanâs eyes. He already disliked Su Yingxue very much, but she still wanted to get involved in Chu Jinlingâs marriage, which made him even angrier.
If it was anyone else, Su Yingxue would not care, but this was Lin Sisiâs matter.
If it wasnât for her and Saint Ruan, Lin Sisi wouldnât have been disfigured by the Silver Moon Pavilion. She couldnât let her marriage be ruined.
âEmperor, 1 have evidence. There is still some medicine in Sisiâs body. As long as we call a doctor over, we will know that she was framed!â Su Yingxue tried her best.
âSu Yingxue, this is a matter of the royal family. It has nothing to do with you!â Chu Chengye was furious.
âIt has something to do with me! Lin Sisi and Jinlingâs marriage had already been decided. If they canceled the marriage now, would Imperial Brother make the world laugh at him? Imperial Brotherâs imperial edict already announced, youâre going back on your word like this? Whatâs your prestige?â Chu Yihan said coldly.
His every word carried a strong pressure. As Chu Jinlingâs imperial uncle, the Ninth Prince of the Great Cheng Dynasty, his words carried a lot of weight, even enough to embarrass Chu Mingyuan.
âMen, summon the imperial physician.â
Chu Yihan gave the order, and the imperial physician was quickly summoned. After taking Lin Sisiâs pulse, he knelt in front of Chu Mingyuan and said, âEmperor, Miss Linâs body is indeed drugged. She must have been drugged.â âSo what? Can this fact be changed just because she slept with someone else?â The empress smiled lightly. âThe Ninth Prince has been doted on by the emperor for many years, and he is also the precious son of the imperial consort. How noble is the imperial consort? How can you let an innocent woman be the imperial consort?â
She seemed to care about Chu Jinling and emphasized Chu Jinlingâs noble status, but she secretly mocked Noble Consort Xiao.
Look at what daughter-in-law you had chosen!
Noble Consort Xiaoâs face was ashen. âLingâer, go back to the palace and stay here! Donât expect your imperial uncle to indulge you!â
âMother, 1 donât want it! Imperial Uncle had already said that the marriage could not be annulled, otherwiseâ¦It will damage Fatherâs reputation!â Chu Jinling felt wronged. He stood behind Chu Yihan and hugged him like he was a big tree.
Noble Consort Xiao casually smashed a precious teacup. âImperial Uncle said, Imperial Uncle said! Can you compare to your Imperial Uncle at all? The Ninth Princeâs words weigh a thousand pounds, what about you?!â
This was the first time Noble Consort Xiao had reprimanded Chu Jinling and even scolded him in public.
Noble Consort Xiaoâs heart ached, but if she didnât do this, Chu Jinling would never realize the seriousness of the matter!
She had doted on him for so many years. He seemed to have a lot, but it was all just love!
She and the emperorâs love, Chu Yihanâs love, and the Xiao familyâs love!
Without all these, he would have nothing!
No official position, no position, no power, no power.
Chu Jinlingâs body stiffened. He felt as if his heart had been punched by someone, and half of it had been shattered.
Chu Yihan held his shoulder.
Lin Sisi saw that the situation was too embarrassing. She stood up and said with tears in her eyes, âIâm not worthy of being the imperial consort. In the future, 1 wonât disturb the Ninth Prince anymore..â
