hen heard someone beside her say that this morning, people from the Ministry of Justice had taken away Minister Jiang, saying that he was a traitor who colluded with the enemy. Someone also discovered...“Empress Dowager, the maidservant has to say, His Royal Highness is innocent. The maidservant and him have always been pure and chaste. The reason the maidservant frequently entered and exited the palace was mainly to treat His Royal Highness's… unspeakable ailment.” Xiao Yuge didn't dare to look at Qian Tingxuan’s twitching mouth anymore. But since she had spoken, she could only grit her teeth and continue weaving a story.
"It's all just what you say, Your Majesty wouldn't believe it," the Empress Dowager still couldn't believe it, staring at Qian Tingxuan who kept his lips tightly shut, and asked: "Xian'er, are you saying that what she said is true"
At this moment, Fang Minrou on the side also panicked. She had calculated everything, but she didn't expect that Qian Tingxuan would be like this! But before, she had also seen Qian Tingxuan and Xiao Yuge getting close. Why wouldn't he be able to
Qiantingxuan secretly gave Xiaoyu a look. Although his heart was full of knives, he still gritted his teeth and swallowed this humiliation. Then, he nodded.
"How could this be" The Empress Dowager slumped onto the phoenix throne, she hadn't expected it either. This well-played game, how did it go wrong
Fang Minrou gritted her teeth, still unwilling to give up: "Impossible! It was fine last night..." Xiao Yuge, don't talk nonsense here. If you dare to prove your innocence in front of the Empress Dowager, then we will believe you!" She believed that Xiao Yuge, having been with Qian Tingxuan for so long, was no longer innocent, so she made this final struggle.
“I...” Xiao Yu Ge pretended to be very embarrassed. Until this moment, she was still quite grateful to Qian Ting Xuan. Several times she almost lost control, but at the critical moment, he let her go. Otherwise, today she really wouldn't have been able to prove anything.
"How is it You can't prove it either, so everything you just said isn't true! You just don't want Ting Xuan to marry me." Seeing her like this, Fang Minrou became even more certain of her own thoughts, believing that Xiao Yuge was just saying that on purpose.
The Empress Dowager was also tending the fire: "Xiao Yu Ge, if you can't prove what you said just now, this old woman will have you charged with insulting royalty." She had been worried about not being able to find fault with Xiao Yu Ge.
Xiao Yu Ge seemed to droop her eyes helplessly and said, “Fine, since you all want to prove it, then I'll prove it to you.” After that, she slowly took off her outer garment, revealing the dazzlingly bright Shocking Sand on her arm.
"How is that possible How could you still be..." Fang Minrou couldn't believe her eyes. She hadn't expected that Xiao Yuge was actually still a virgin. Could it be that, Brother Tingxuan really wasn't... good on that side
Then Qian Tingxuan's lips curled up slightly, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes: His woman, he naturally protected very well!
"You're still..." The Empress Dowager couldn't believe it. She gave a meaningful look to Qín Māmā, signaling her to step forward and check if the Palace Sand was real or not.
The grandmother understood, walked to Xiao Yuge's face and wiped it with her hand. It was indeed the "Shougongsha" (a type of medicinal herb). So she nodded to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager was shaken by the earthquake, but it also seemed as if she had been struck. Her hand began to tremble uncontrollably again.
"If the Empress Dowager doesn't believe me, she can ask the palace maids to examine me and see if what I said is true" Xiao Yuge said, then looked at Fang Minrou: "Just now, the county princess kept saying that she had intimate contact with the Wangye last night. That's just right. Please also ask the maids to see if there are any signs of intimacy from last night. If there are none, then it is a slander. I dare ask the Empress Dowager, what crime is it to slander royalty "
"You!" Fang Minru was speechless for a moment. Everything was just a scheme she had set up this morning. There was nothing between her and Qian Tingxuan, if the elderly grandmother came to see, it would naturally be exposed.
"Xiao Yu Ge, you claim to be innocent, a woman from the boudoir, how do you know these things" Fang Minrou was still making her last stand. She simply couldn't accept that she had lost to Xiao Yu Ge several times.
“Lady Fang, don’t you remember I am a doctor. How can a doctor save people if they don't even know these basic common sense Are the sick just children” Xiao Yuge retorted with one sentence, leaving her speechless.
"It seems like last night's incident was just a misunderstanding. However, since Xuan’er and Min Rou have already slept in the same bed, it would be right for them to take responsibility. Xiao Yu Ge, if you agree to let Min Rou marry you, I will compensate you." The Empress Dowager saw that the situation was going badly and softened her voice, but she still tried to secure a proper status for Fang Min Rou. It was clear that she truly loved Fang Min Rou.
"Mother, in this life I will only marry Xiao Ge'er!" Qian Tingxuan naturally had to show his affection at this time.
"Silence!" The Empress Dowager rebuked him, then turned to Ge'er and asked, "Xiao Yu Ge, do you agree with this"
"Of course I disagree!" Xiao Yuge stood tall, her chest out: "Xiao Yuge will marry only one man in her life, and he will never be allowed to take a concubine!"
"Presumptuous!" The Empress was so angry that she clutched her chest.
"Throughout history, it has been common for men to have three wives and four concubines. It is a natural order of things, so why are you going against it What if this empress insists on matching Minrou to Xuan'er How will you react" The Empress Dowager's tone seemed to have hardened.
"In that case, it depends on the Prince's decision. If the Prince agrees to this, then my marriage with him will be annulled. Afterward, how many wives he takes will have nothing to do with me."Xiao Yuge wasn't weak. She treated the Empress Dowager with respect out of deference for her age and position. It was simply respect for elders. Just based on what the Empress Dowager had done to Qian Tingxuan, she hadn't taken action to expose the Empress Dowager’s treachery, that was already showing mercy.
“I, Qian Tingxuan, swear here today that I will only marry Xiaoge in this lifetime. I will not take concubines or have mistresses. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning!” Qian Tingxuan raised three fingers and made a solemn vow, his eyes filled with adoration as he looked at his beloved Xiaoge.
They looked at each other and smiled, everything unspoken.
Fang Minrou, standing nearby, was almost driven mad with jealousy.
"You!" The Empress Dowager was so angry she nearly fainted.
"Your Majesty the Dowager Empress, you must take charge of Min Rou's matter." At this moment, seeing that a forceful approach wouldn't work on the cunning Min Rou, she immediately started to shed tears and put on a show of crying, making a fuss, and threatening suicide.
Ke Xiao's song wasn't one to be trifled with either. She strode forward a few steps, arriving before Fang Minrou's face, and suddenly, out of the blue, grabbed her wrist!
"What are you doing" Fang Minrou indeed panicked and flung her hand away.
"Indeed." Xiao Yu Ge had understood her meaning and bowed slightly to the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, this county princess is so eager to find a husband, wouldn't you suspect anything"rve them. When she first saw He Hongxiu, she frowned subtly: strangely, this woman gave her a sense of familiarity. She seemed to have met this woman somewhere before, but for a moment, she couldn't r...
