The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

Xie Zhibai started to associate himself with the Third Prince.

"This incident is obviously the fault of the Cheng'en Marquisate. Our Changping Marquisate is not a soft persimmon. Why should we be trampled on by the Cheng'en Marquisate? If the emperor is not partial, is it because the Cheng'en Marquisate is close to the third prince?"

"So you let the Cheng'en Marquisate off for the sake of the Third Prince? Then we are still close to the Emperor! We are all subjects, so please be fair and impartial! Just stick to the facts!"

The Emperor of Great Chu was choked by Xie Zhibai's words.

When he suddenly heard Xie Zhibai talking about the third brother, the Emperor of Great Chu felt a little displeased. Why did he mention the third brother for no reason?

But who would have thought that Xie Zhibai's next sentence would be -

"The Xie family is close to the emperor!"

The Emperor of Chu was in a dilemma for a moment. He was neither angry nor not angry, so he cursed a few times in a bad mood.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The Cheng'en Marquisate and the Third Brother just have some dealings with each other, how come they are so close? Could it be that you and your father both think that I will favor the Cheng'en Marquisate because of the Third Brother?"

"You said it yourself, your Changping Marquis Mansion is close to me. So, should I be partial to you?"

When he said the last sentence, the Great Chu Emperor himself laughed out of anger. He was really caught off guard by Xie Zhibai's sudden roguery.

I couldn't get angry at all, and I couldn't laugh either. In the end, I could only make a quick decision.

Anyway, the decision has been made. If Xie Zhibai continues to speak, he, the emperor, will really become a biased person.

So he said angrily: "Forget it, you little brat, you are thicker-skinned than your father, you can say anything, then just as you wish, this matter is indeed wrong by the Cheng'en Marquisate, you dare to go against my will, I will do as you wish and deal with the matter at hand!"

After saying that, he pointed to a young eunuch.

"You come!"

The eunuch walked quickly to the Emperor of Chu.

The Emperor of Great Chu whispered something to him, but the eunuch's expression did not change. He responded respectfully and then walked to Xie Zhibai.

The eunuch smiled and said, "Thank you, Prince. Get up."

Xie Zhibai looked towards the Great Chu Emperor, as if he was talking to himself, but the volume of his voice was loud enough for the Great Chu Emperor to hear.

"I can't get up. The emperor hasn't agreed to my request yet."

The Great Chu Emperor said angrily, "Get out of here! As you wish, let Eunuch Qi go with you. I have made a solemn promise that your engagement will be annulled. You can make your own decision!"

Xie Zhibai was stunned at first, as he did not expect the trip to be so smooth. Then he showed joy and immediately stood up, speaking respectfully with the same attitude as before.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is wise!"

After saying this, as if he was afraid that the emperor would change his mind, he ignored his impoliteness in front of the palace, reached out and grabbed Eunuch Qi's arm and pulled the dazed Eunuch Qi out, leaving the Emperor of Great Chu stunned.

The fifth prince walked out from the darkness and said with a smile.

"Father, I am right. The Xie family is really passionate people!"

The Emperor of Chu was in a good mood, but he was still harsh in his words.

"Yes, he is a man of character and respectful, but too unstable. How old is Xie Zhibai and he still acts like a scoundrel? Tsk tsk, I don't know who he learned this from."

……

"Do you think that Prince Xie's visit can make the emperor change his mind? After all, this is the marriage arranged by the emperor himself. If the emperor were to take back his decision, wouldn't he be embarrassed?"

"What's there to be ashamed of? The Cheng'en Marquisate has done such a thing. If the emperor insists on having his own way, it would be unreasonable to agree to continue the engagement with the Cheng'en Marquisate. Our emperor is a wise ruler and will definitely agree to cancel the engagement."

"That's right. The Cheng'en Marquisate is the Cheng'en Marquisate. If they do something dishonest, that's their business. The Emperor is also implicated."

"I noticed that Madam Xiao didn't tell the truth. Didn't she deny Xie Ruyu at the beginning? But in the end, when she saw that the child was about to be abandoned, she immediately jumped out to admit it. She simply won't cry until she sees the coffin!"

"Of course! Our emperor will never associate with such a person. He will definitely agree to cancel the engagement. This will give Miss Xie a way out!"

Outside the mansion of Marquis Cheng'en, the people were discussing enthusiastically, analyzing the future development trends one after another.

Although no one dared to guess the emperor's thoughts, most people believed that the emperor would definitely agree to cancel the engagement.

Who made the Cheng'en Marquisate do such a ruthless thing?

There is no room for maneuver.

In addition, Madam Xiao's words and actions just now have fully exposed the dirty thoughts of the Cheng'en Marquisate. The emperor will not associate with them.

Mrs. Xiao did not go in, so she heard everything these people were talking about. Her face turned pale and blue, and she couldn't help feeling uneasy.

Did she do something wrong?

Shouldn’t we be so anxious to acknowledge the baby in Xie Ruyu’s belly?

But the situation was urgent, and it was obvious that the old bastard Xie Yunchuan was forcing her on purpose!

Madam Xiao had no doubt that if she did not acknowledge him, Lord Xie would surely pour the bowl of abortion soup into Xie Ruyu's mouth, and her only precious grandson would be gone!

But if I admit it, I will obviously get into big trouble. Will the emperor really agree to cancel the engagement?

The more she thought about it, the less confident Madam Xiao felt. Facing the overwhelming ridicule, she couldn't help but shrink a little, obviously afraid.

Butler Li was following nearby, feeling anxious. Seeing his wife like this, he couldn't help but start to worry.

But before the Marquis came back, they couldn't let down the dignity of the Cheng'en Marquisate, so they leaned over to Madam Xiao's ear and whispered comforting words.

"Madam, don't worry too much. The reason why the emperor arranged the marriage is because he doesn't want the Marquis of Changping to get close to Prince Chen, right?"

"The Emperor is afraid of Prince Chen, so he wants to strengthen the Third Prince's power and use the marriage to win over the Xie family for the Third Prince so that he can compete with Prince Chen. He will definitely not agree to cancel the engagement."

Perhaps it was because of what Butler Li said with such certainty that Mrs. Xiao's heart gradually calmed down. Yes, it must be like this!

The Emperor will not agree to cancel the engagement. Even if the Cheng'en Marquisate is in the wrong, the Emperor's fear of Prince Chen comes first, and everything else has to take a back seat.

In a carriage outside the crowd——

The maid Qiao'er had just squeezed into the crowd to eavesdrop. Her face was flushed and covered in sweat, but she looked happy as she relayed what the people outside were saying.

"Miss! Everyone is scolding Xiao Yusheng and Xie Ruyu for being such a couple, and they all say that the Emperor will definitely agree to cancel the engagement."

"I just took a look at Madam Xiao's face. It was so dark that water seemed to come out of it! She must still be regretting why she acknowledged the child in Xie Ruyu's belly. Hahahaha..."

Xie Lingxi looked at Qiao'er's happy expression, but she couldn't feel happy in her heart. She was not that optimistic.

Although he had done everything he could, even at the risk of exposing himself to rebirth, he had dug out some useful information from his past life's memories and tried to win over the Fifth Prince for cooperation.

But it would be better if the Fifth Prince believed it, at least he would help.

But if he doesn't believe me, it would be fine if I did a lot of useless work, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of Xiao Yusheng...
