Chapter 254 The Princess of the Subjugated Country 23
Emperor Chen's face was kind, but more than that, it was filled with heartache. He got up and helped Qingyu up, sighing, "You child... you've suffered so much."
The system secretly rolled its eyes, not understanding what was so bitter about it. Qingyu hadn't done anything right!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and a father's daughter is the most amazing!
Qingyu accepted the words of comfort with a straight face, then looked at Shaomingyu with a smile.
Subsequently, Shao Mingyu presented the evidence to the Emperor.
Emperor Chen waved his hand and presented the evidence directly. He had been protecting Qingyu all this time and was naturally aware of the progress. Now that he had pointed it out, it was time for reckoning.
A moment later, the court was in an uproar, with the ministers whispering and discussing amongst themselves.
It turns out that this evidence is indeed irrefutable proof of Rong Jinnian's crimes of embezzlement, bribery, and forming cliques!
Furthermore, Rong Jinnian is not even a citizen of this country, yet he dares to act in this way... It's really too much!
Emperor Chen scanned the expressions of everyone present, and when his gaze fell upon Shao Mingyu, his expression became somewhat complicated.
This woman is indeed extraordinary. In the past, obtaining this evidence was extremely difficult, even involving his Qingyu. I never expected that this woman would obtain it so quickly after switching sides!
Thinking of this, Emperor Chen immediately pretended to be furious, slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "How dare you, Rong Jinnian, be so audacious!"
An imperial edict was immediately issued, ordering the swift arrest and return of Rong Jinnian to the authorities.
A grand drama has come to an end.
For a time, the entire capital was plunged into a tense atmosphere.
The officers and soldiers searched everywhere for Rong Jinnian's whereabouts, but to no avail, only obtaining some other information from his residence.
Only Qingyu felt a little flustered.
She looked up at the sky and felt that something was slowly changing.
For example, a clear blue sky can suddenly turn into a cloud-covered, thunderous storm, as if something is howling everywhere, trying to tear apart the peaceful life.
Qingyu's unease grew stronger as she thought about the world ahead, where Rong Jinnian suddenly regained his memories...
It's not necessarily impossible now!
Her eyes narrowed, her beautiful profile tensed, and she remained silent.
After searching for several days without finding a trace, Qingyu finally lost her patience.
She wanted to go fishing.
So she directly asked the Emperor to hold a matchmaking banquet for her. Regardless of how shocked the Emperor was, Shao Mingyu and the others beside him were the first to disagree, "This is too hasty!"
"Princess! The situation is urgent. Besides, how could these ordinary mortals be worthy of you?" San Ye anxiously advised.
Even Li Mo, who had been silent for a long time, shook his head in disagreement, "Princess, these are turbulent times, it's best to be cautious."
He absolutely would not allow Qingyu to marry! No matter the reason, he could not accept it.
Unfortunately, Qingyu had already made up her mind. She never considered other people's suggestions and began making preparations that very day.
On the day of the banquet, the palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
Qingyu, dressed in formal attire, sat in a high position, her gaze sweeping indifferently over the guests attending the banquet.
She still wore a veil, but promised that after today's banquet, she would show her true face and then welcome her husband.
Qingyu's reputation was already illustrious, not to mention that she was deeply favored by Emperor Chen. Although there were rumors that she was not good-looking, people felt that since the other princes were all in their prime, there was no reason for Princess Qingyu to be so ugly.
At most, she would just blend into the crowd, but compared to Qingyu's status, all of that is insignificant.
So many young men vied to show off, each displaying their dashing charm in front of Qingyu. But Qingyu herself was not interested. However, she did not dare to show too much, and outwardly cooperated with everyone.
Just then, a commotion suddenly arose outside the palace.
Qingyu was secretly delighted, thinking that Rong Jinnian had taken the bait so quickly. But when everyone looked over, they saw Li Mo in a black robe and Sanye in a tight-fitting outfit walking gracefully towards them. The two were elegant and handsome, each with their own unique charm, which made most people on the field pale in comparison.
Qingyu was speechless for a moment, while Shao Mingyu next to her almost twisted her handkerchief to pieces, and said angrily, "Princess, these two are dressed up like peacocks today. We can't be fooled. Ignore them!"
Qingyu smiled, and the two men over there had already come to greet her. Li Mo exuded a refined and scholarly air, while Sanye was purely masculine and had the air of a bandit. Li Mo was clearly the leader of the two men, and he stepped forward, "Princess, we have offended you by coming here. Princess... you are so beautiful that you could topple kingdoms. We will certainly cherish you!"
This is practically a direct statement that he is determined to have Qingyu.
Qingyu initially ignored him, but then she thought that these two seemed to be mortal enemies with Rong Jinnian, so maybe she could use them to provoke him.
She smiled faintly, her amorous eyes becoming even more alluring, gazing at Li Mo with eyes as clear as autumn water, and said, "This princess understands."
After speaking, she asked someone to offer her a seat, and then chatted casually with the two of them, while her eyes darted around, trying to spot Rong Jinnian.
Unfortunately, there was no one around.
Midway through the banquet, Emperor Chen suddenly stood up, a smile appearing on his majestic face. "Today is the day my daughter Yu'er is choosing her husband. Anyone interested may come forward and let me have a look!"
"If possible, marriage would be a joyous occasion for both men and women."
These words stirred up excitement among the crowd. Before, it was just speculation, but now the Emperor Chen had confirmed that he was going to choose a consort. All the young masters couldn't help but step forward to express their feelings.
As the banquet drew to a close, Qingyu still hadn't seen Rong Jinnian. She had assumed he wouldn't come, but unexpectedly, the situation changed in an instant. In the mist outside, Rong Jinnian's figure appeared and disappeared as he slowly walked over.
His gaze was icy as he stared directly at Qingyu, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"Your Highness, is this banquet prepared for me?"
Qingyu paused for a moment, but quickly regained her composure and sneered, "Rong Jinnian, how dare you show yourself?"
Rong Jinnian stared at the person opposite her with infatuation, her gaze following the other person's face intently, before bursting into laughter, "Does the princess think that such tricks can trap me?"
As he spoke, he gently raised his hand, and the surrounding soldiers fell down uncontrollably.
Qingyu was startled. She realized that Rong Jinnian must have regained his memories, and perhaps even his magical powers!
commit a sin!
Shao Mingyu and the others immediately stepped in front of Qingyu. Rong Jinnian, however, merely glanced at them contemptuously, his eyes filled with madness, "Today, I'm taking her away."
Everyone was stunned by his display of skill. More soldiers came forward, trying to capture Rong Jinnian, but he remained unmoved, full of disdain.
Shao Mingyu was already in a state of utter confusion, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "You're dreaming!"
Mitsuha, standing to the side, drew her sword and charged forward.
However, Rong Jinnian flashed and arrived in front of Qingyu in the blink of an eye. Then, he pulled her and disappeared without a trace.
