But even if the marriage has been decided, after all, they have not yet been married, so there are still some precautions between men and women.

Even if they agree to let the two of them talk alone, it must be done in front of everyone.

Of course, Prince An was even more worried that his daughter would make trouble again...

He allowed the two of them to talk for a few words at the stone table under the shade of the trees in the front yard of the palace. There were servants everywhere in the yard, so it was not too rude.

"This princess has someone in her heart and will not marry you. Be smart and take your betrothal gift back." Turning around, Qin Jinshu said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Although Li Jun in front of him was indeed heroic, he was nothing compared to Mu Beiyan.

She can't persuade her father and elder brother now, so she can only try it with Li Jun.

Li Jun was stunned.

Qin Jinshu added, "If you insist on marrying me, I won't let you have an easy life even if I marry you!"

Li Jun understood what Qin Jinshu meant. He was not angry at all, and even had a smile on his face. "That's great. I didn't have this intention at first. But now the betrothal gifts have been given and the wedding date has been set. Both parents, except Princess An who is recuperating in Anhua Mountain, are in favor. We should not go against their wishes."

Qin Jinshu's eyes widened when she heard this. "What did you say? You said my mother is in Anhua Mountain?"

Her father and elder brother forced her, and even her aunt, who had always loved her, did not help her this time.

The only one who can help her is her mother.

The father only said that he sent mother to recuperate, but he refused to tell her where she went. It was obvious that he expected that once she knew, she would go to mother for help.

These days, she had been making inquiries openly and secretly in the mansion, but all those who knew about the situation kept their mouths shut and she didn't get any useful information.

I really didn't expect to hear the whereabouts of my mother from Li Jun.

Li Jun did not answer her, but continued, "Whether the princess is willing or not, the marriage is a foregone conclusion. The princess should just stay in the mansion and wait for the wedding date."

Li Jun spoke this sentence quite loudly, so loud that Prince An who was standing by the main hall door could hear it clearly.

After saying that, he turned and went back to the main hall.

Qin Jinshu just rolled her eyes at his back angrily, said nothing more, and returned to her own yard.

"My daughter is a little willful, but now that she's married, she'll naturally become sensible. Please don't blame me, General Li." King An said to Li Jun.

Li Jun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I think the princess is very cute."

Prince An nodded with satisfaction.

Lee Joon finally figured out his role.

What he didn't expect was that his daughter secretly ran away that night.

The personal maid was gagged and tied up in the room. Qin Jinshu put on the maid's clothes and disappeared.

Prince An was furious and ordered people to look for her, but since the incident was not discovered until near noon of the next day, and Qin Jinshu had sneaked out the night before, there was no way to find any trace of Qin Jinshu.

In desperation, Prince An and Qin Zhihan strictly ordered the servants in the mansion not to leak the news, and sent more people to look for it secretly.

Prince Kang's Mansion.

Qin Yueze called Shen Rongyue and went to the general's mansion, preparing to continue to invite Shen Qingyin to visit the palace on the pretext of the green calyx flowers blooming.

But when the carriage had just left the mansion, they heard people talking on the street.

"Have you heard? Grand Secretary Sun's granddaughter committed suicide again. Alas, a good girl was forced to be ashamed to face the world by the prince of Kang..."

"I heard it, this is the second time she has tried to commit suicide. If she hadn't been stopped by someone, she would have been gone. Sigh, how pitiful..."

"That Prince Kang is really a piece of shit! Didn't he harm a maid in public at the Shen family before?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I still remember this. Later, under pressure from others, I heard that he took the maid as his concubine. But not long after, he found a reason to beat the maid to death..."

Listening to the discussions outside, Qin Yueze's face looked extremely ugly.

However, listening to these people, Sun Xiuqing actually committed suicide again. I don’t know whether it is true or not. If it is true, it is too annoying...

Qin Yueze suppressed his anger and planned to ignore the gossip of these idle people in the market and continue to go to the general's mansion.

However, things did not go as planned. As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the general's mansion, a eunuch from the palace came over to deliver an order, saying that the Emperor had summoned him to the palace.

Qin Yueze asked Shen Rongyue to go to the general's mansion to find Shen Qingyin first, while he suspiciously followed the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict into the palace.

When he arrived at Mingzheng Hall, he found out that he was being reported by a group of civil officials. The charges were that he had seduced a decent woman and then abandoned her, and had no moral integrity. The leader was none other than the Minister of Rites Su He and the Grand Secretary Qin Ming.

The emperor looked at Qin Yueze and said angrily, "Ze'er, what a good thing you did! I originally thought that you were just a little naughty, but I didn't expect you to be so despicable and do such a thing that damages the reputation of the royal family!"

Qin Yueze shouted that he was wronged, "Your Majesty, I am wronged... This matter is really a misunderstanding. My nephew and Miss Sun only met once, how can I say that you abandoned me after having sex with me?"

The emperor was stunned. "Is it true that we only met once?"

"It's absolutely true, Your Majesty!" Qin Yueze said loudly.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid what the prince said is not true." Su He leaned over and reported to the emperor.

"As far as I know, the prince once gave Miss Sun cakes on the street and sent people to inquire about Miss Sun's identity. It is obvious that he is interested in Miss Sun. Later, Grand Secretary Sun came to propose marriage in person, and neither King Kang nor the prince refused. After that, the prince fell ill, and Miss Sun had people send her homemade meals to the palace every day. The prince enjoyed them every day and never refused at all... How could this be just a one-time encounter? It is obvious that she tacitly agreed to the marriage!"

Su He's words immediately attracted a wave of echoes.

"Your Majesty, Grand Secretary Sun has fallen ill because of this incident. If you don't severely punish the Crown Prince, how can you appease Grand Secretary Sun's anger? And how can you stop the people from talking nonsense?"

Faced with the repeated calls from his ministers, the emperor frowned.

"Zer, are you willing to make amends in time and marry Miss Sun?"

Qin Yueze was shocked and waved his hands repeatedly, "Your Majesty, it's not that my nephew doesn't want to, it's because my nephew already has someone else in his heart... If your Majesty forces my nephew to marry Miss Sun, it will harm another woman... Besides, my niece and Miss Sun are originally ruthless, why force it?"

If His Majesty knows that I insisted today in order to marry Shen Qingyin, he will definitely appreciate me even more...

His Majesty the Emperor was speechless for a moment and did not comment on Qin Yueze's statement.

Su He and others kept attacking Qin Yueze and gave him advice frequently.

"Your Majesty, no matter what reasons Prince Kang has, this matter was ultimately caused by him, and has brought disgrace upon the royal family. It is irreversible. Your Majesty, please severely punish the prince and deprive him of his status as the crown prince!"

"Your Majesty, please deprive the Crown Prince of Kang of his right to inherit the throne to set things right!"

Seeing that all the important officials said so in unison, the emperor seemed to have made up his mind, "Send an order--"
