Chapter 847 Face-to-face questioning and waiting for your answer
Because the Princess Yi in front of him was still Princess Yi, Shuntian Prefecture Governor Zheng Tong took two steps forward and bowed to Zhang Miaoying, "Your humble servant, Shuntian Prefecture Governor Zheng Tong, pays his respects to Princess Yi!"
"Master Zheng, please don't be so polite!"
In the past, Zhang Miaoying would definitely hold her chin high and act like the legitimate wife of Prince Yi!
Now, having suffered repeated blows, she no longer has the determination or courage!
Zhang Miaoying's uneasiness kept growing...
She always had a bad feeling—
Not only was his father, Zhang Jinyan, the deputy assistant, released from the prison and had no hope of being reinstated;
Even I, the Princess Yi...also have a worrying future...No...it's not just a worrying future, it's that I have no future at all!
This feeling had gradually become clearer when I arrived at the gate of Duke Anguo's Mansion!
Because of the audacity of my father Zhang Jinyan the day before;
Because of my younger sister Zhang Miaotong's unreasonable arrogance today...
The Cifu Mansion saw that the end was approaching and everything was beyond redemption!
At this moment, in Zhang Miaoying's almost desperate heart, even if she no longer believed that Prince Yi Xiao Jingyi would devote all his energy to preserving the Second Prime Minister's Mansion, the last glimmer of fragile hope could only be placed on Xiao Jingyi!
On the way here, I had already sent someone back to Prince Yi's Mansion to report the news. Xiao Jingyi...will he rush here to turn the tide?
can you?
Zhang Miaoying suddenly recalled the burning, almost greedy, look Xiao Jingyi had given Leng Rongyue in front of the palace gate, determined to win...
The glimmer of hope that just emerged...disappeared again!
At this moment, the gate of the Anguo Mansion opened, and a young girl wearing a light gauze hat and a brocade embroidered skirt walked out from the gate, accompanied by several young men in brocade clothes and extraordinary temperament, as well as a group of guards and maids.
The appearance of this group of people immediately attracted the attention of everyone present in front of the Duke of Anguo's mansion.
When Zheng Tong, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture who had just arrived, saw him, he hurriedly led his men forward to pay their respects.
"Your Highness, Zheng Tong, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, pays homage to His Royal Highness Prince Yu!"
"Master Zheng, please don't be polite!"
Xiao Jingyu raised his hand to support him.
"Your humble servant greets Princess Chengxian!"
Zheng Tong quickly bowed to Leng Rongyue again.
Leng Rongyue is different now than before!
Previously, when the case of the Marquis of Qinxing was being tried in the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen, Leng Rongyue was just the daughter of an ordinary official, and even once bore the reputation of being the "daughter of a guilty official."
Now, she has been conferred the title of Princess Chengxian by the Emperor, and has been granted marriage to His Royal Highness Prince Yu again...
Looking across the entire Jingyue Kingdom, how many noble ladies can match the noble status that Leng Rongyue possesses now!
“Seunghyun returns the favor!
Thank you for taking this trip, Master Zheng!"
Leng Rongyue bowed to Zheng Tongfu, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and said.
"I dare not!
How dare I not come and investigate after receiving the complaint from the princess!
"Thank you, Lord Prefect!
The prefect has read this princess's petition and has now come to the Duke of An's mansion to investigate the case. I hope the prefect will be discerning and give Chengxian justice, which is a small matter, but upholding the majesty of the emperor and the laws of Jingyue is a greater matter!"
"Yes, your subordinate obeys!
I will investigate this matter thoroughly, give justice to the princess, and protect the dignity of the emperor and the laws of Jingyue!"
"Chengxian thanks the prefect!"
Zheng Tong, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, also exchanged greetings with the brothers Fu Mingjun and Fu Mingxiu.
After this greeting, not only Zhang Miaoying, but even Wang who was standing beside her was secretly frightened!
In particular, Zhang Miaoying was thinking that the trouble Zhang Miaotong had caused had already alarmed the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, which showed that this matter was not just a matter of this little girl coming to make trouble out of jealousy and resentment!
It is no longer even a crime of offending the current princess or the future Princess Yu!
This has already involved the majesty of the emperor and touched upon the laws of Jingyue...
Zhang Miaotong...can she still be alive?
Not only Zhang Miaotong, but also her father Zhang Jinyan, the Second Auxiliary Mansion, and... and herself, the Princess Yi...
Zhang Miaoying shuddered suddenly and hurriedly said to Leng Rongyue, "Princess Rongyue, my sister...she came here today and offended you. I apologize to you on her behalf!
This concubine implores Princess Rongyue to consider her young age and ignorance, be magnanimous, and not bother with this foolish sister! "
"Young and ignorant?"
Leng Rongyue's face was filled with confusion and curiosity, "Is Princess Yi saying that your sister Zhang Miaotong is young and ignorant?
But I wonder how old she is this year?
Infant? Swaddling? Child? Toddler? Toddler? ...
Even if she is a young girl or a young girl, she is still considered young.
May I ask...what age group is your young and ignorant sister Zhang Miaotong in?
Or does Princess Yi want me, a young princess who hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet, to forgive Zhang Miaotong, who is already 29 years old, for her immaturity?
"This……"
Zhang Miaoying was choked by Leng Rongyue and was speechless for a while, while Leng Rongyue looked at Zhang Miaoying seriously, waiting for her answer.
Zhang Miaoying was helpless and could only smile awkwardly, "Speaking of which, my sister...she has only admired His Royal Highness Prince Yu for a long time and was unwilling to lose the one she loves, so she acted so rashly today!
Please forgive her this time, Princess Rongyue!"
Leng Rongyue stood on the steps and looked down at Zhang Miaoying, her tone calm and her expression indifferent.
"Princess Yi, what you said is wrong!
The so-called loss can only be considered a loss if one has already gained something.
Princess Yi, may I ask...when did your sister ever get the so-called love of her heart?
Is there a verbal promise from His Royal Highness Prince Yu?
Or does she already have an engagement with His Royal Highness Prince Yu?
Or... the Emperor had already arranged a marriage for her with His Royal Highness Prince Yu, but he forgot... or... went back on his word?
Listening to the meaning of Princess Yi's words...
It was this princess who stole my love;
It was His Royal Highness Prince Yu who broke his promise;
Or the current emperor..."
