Chapter 567 He... Can't!
o Yuge let Xiao Yu Fu hold her arm. It was all about acting like they were close sisters, wasn't it So, let's act the part."Sister Fu'er, it's not early anymore. Let's return to the city together." A...Back in the main hall, the Empress Dowager sat on her throne, her gaze sweeping slowly over the few people present. Then, she spoke in a deep voice: "Xuan'er, what is going on between you and Minrou You said before that you would never marry Minrou, but now..."
“Your Majesty, it’s all Min Rou’s fault. You shouldn’t blame Brother Qixian. We both drank too much last night, that’s why…” Before Qian Qixian could reply, Fang Min Rou spoke up first and walked towards Xiao Yuge, seeming to sincerely explain: “Xiao Yuge, don’t blame Brother Qixian, we just drank too much. I know he loves you in his heart, he won’t marry me, so I won’t hold him responsible.”
"Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager slammed her fist on the table in fury: 'Nonsense! A prince of such high standing acting in such a manner Surely he must be held accountable for his actions. If this gets out, where will our royal face go'
Xiao Yu ge seemed to understand now. It turned out that the Empress Dowager and Fang Minrou were putting on a show together, intentionally trying to make Qian Tingxuan marry Fang Minrou. She dared to covet her man! Not even close!
"Mother..." Qian Tingxuan wanted to say something, but was scolded back by the Empress Dowager.
“Silence!” The Empress glared at him, then turned to Xiao Yuge, her tone softening. “Yuge, I know you’re a reasonable girl. You see how things have unfolded today – everyone knows about it. Minrou is also a pitiable child, deeply in love with Xuan'er. The Emperor has already agreed to let you marry into Xiaoyao王府 as the principal wife. Now that Minrou and Xuan'er have been intimate, why don’t I make the decision and let Minrou enter the manor as a concubine alongside you What do you think”
As expected, after the Empress Dowager learned about what happened with Hakka last time, she realized that it would be nearly impossible for Fang Minrou to enter the manor as the main consort. So, she settled for the next best thing and used every means possible to get Fang Minrou into the manor as a concubine. At that time, with her support, Xiao Yuge would have no backing even if she became the main consort; she would be nothing more than a mere decoration.
The abacus might be pretty effective, but sadly, it probably wouldn't work on Xiao Yu Ge!
"Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate!" Xiao Yu Ge was too lazy to pretend anymore. When faced with such shameless people, she didn't care about her face anymore. She had seen shameless people before, but never someone as shameless as this. She couldn't bear it any longer!
Upon hearing Xiao Yu's song daring to disobey her, the Empress Dowager's face immediately darkened.
"Empress Dowager, I think today's events were probably just a misunderstanding." Xiao Yuge was calm and collected. Since she knew their plan, she might as well dismantle it step by step.
"A misunderstanding" The Empress Dowager snorted softly, "Xiao Yuge, they were all lying on the same bed, you just saw it, and you still call that a misunderstanding Do you think all of us are blind"
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, they were indeed lying on the same bed, but as everyone saw, Your Highness was dressed neatly, and even his hair was not a single strand out of place. If something had happened, would he be this clean"
As soon as Xiao Yu's song ended, everyone instinctively looked at Qian Tingxuan. As she had said,
"Impossible! We...we did something last night...how could Brother Tingxuan not remember" At this time, Fang Minrou also blushed and said a word beside her.
"Then it's even more impossible!" Xiao Yuge heard this and actually laughed.
Seeing her still able to smile at this point, Fang Minrou was furious: "What makes you say it's impossible We were drunk and in love back then, how could we not have..."
"Are you being sincere" Xiao Yuge rubbed his forehead. "County Princess, do you believe what you're saying yourself"
Fang Minrou's face flushed red and white as she retorted, "Whether you admit it or not, we were already intimate last night. I belong to Brother Tingxuan now, there's no denying that."
“How can one prove innocence” Xiao Yu Ge thought to herself, since Fang Min Rou wanted her to be disgraced, there must be a way for her to counter. “If I were a young woman who has never been touched, I could prove my purity with my body, but how would you, as a princess, prove that you did not sleep with the Prince last night”
"You!" Fang Minrou was so angry she almost fainted.
Everyone knows she married the former emperor of Chi Yan country for so many years, and recently even had such a scandalous affair with Harkza. She really couldn't prove that she was better off with Qian Tingxuan.
"Xiao Yu's song, everyone knows that Min Rou is no longer a virgin. Naturally, she cannot prove what happened last night, but they slept in the same room and on the same bed, a lone man and woman, how could nothing have happened" Indeed, the Empress Dowager was still more astute.
"She couldn't prove it, but I could." Xiao Yuge threw a meaningful smile at Qian Tingxuan: Big Baddie, since you volunteered to be involved, don't blame her then.
"How can you prove it" The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes, looking at everyone with disbelief. She wanted to see how Xiao Yuge would prove it.
"Empress Dowager, your son..." Xiao Yuge paused here, deliberately drawing it out. She looked at Qian Tingxuan with a face of difficulty, her eyes full of playful mockery: Sorry about this.
"What's wrong with him" Sure enough, everyone looked very nervous.
"Your Majesty, to be honest, I don't want to say this. It concerns the King's privacy, and as a doctor, I shouldn't disregard medical ethics. However, now that this has happened, I have no choice but to speak up. The truth is, Your Majesty...he... he can't!"
"What did you say!" The Empress Dowager nearly jumped up.
Qian Tingxuan almost bit his own tongue: Did this girl know what she was saying What was wrong with her, saying he wasn't good Was he good or not, didn't she know
He didn't explain immediately because he knew Xiaoge would believe him. After all, he had spent the entire night holding her and sleeping until dawn last night. If anything happened, it was something they shared together. He didn't rush to expose his mother and their scheme because he wanted to see if Xiaoge could handle such a situation. After all, there would probably be similar situations after she married him. She had to get used to being wronged for a while, but it wouldn't last long.
However, he never expected that Xiaoge would use this as an excuse.
Xiao Yu Ge seemed to already see Qian Ting Xuan's face contorted under the mask, with black lines all over his face and twitching corners of his mouth. But since she had spoken, she could only continue: "Empress Dowager, you should have heard that I frequently enter and leave the prince’s mansion, and rumors outside already claim that my relationship with the prince is far from innocent."
"Xuan'er is charming and suave. You spent half a year with him, surely there was something between you" The Empress Dowager naturally didn't believe it. She couldn't imagine anyone showing mercy to Xiao Yuge, a woman as alluring as she was. Plus, Xuan'er's practiced familiarity with Xiao Yuge from the very beginning - how he would immediately reach for her and hold her - made her think there was definitely something more between them. If they hadn't crossed boundaries, she wouldn't believe it even if she died.ou I only want to marry you!”"You're hopeless!" Xiao Yuge glared at him. "The woman you're going to marry is my sister! She's a woman of great fortune, your destined bride!"Qian Si's smile broadened:...
