Long Live the Empress

Chapter 108 Sincere love

Time passed slowly. The old lady narrowed her eyes and looked at Yue Jinghao who was indifferent. She also began to doubt the rumors. "Jing'er, tell me the truth. Where did you go last night?"

Yue Jinghao lowered her head and said, "Grandma, I was indeed delayed by something yesterday and couldn't go back home, but this matter is too big...I'm sorry I can't tell you!"

"What's the big deal? Even grandma can't tell it?" Yue Jinghao's words aroused the old lady's curiosity.

Yue Jinghao stood up and knelt in front of the old lady. "This matter concerns the safety of the entire Yue Mansion. The fewer people know about it, the safer the Yue Mansion will be!"

The old lady was horrified, and her hands that were twisting the Buddhist beads stopped. The most important event in the capital now was the missing pregnant woman case...

"Jing'er is talking about..." The old lady asked tentatively, "But what does this have to do with Yue Mansion?"

Yue Jinghao whispered a few words into the old lady's ear. The frightened old lady turned pale and blue, and she tightly grasped Yue Jinghao's hand, "Jing'er... It's hard for you to plan for your father and our Yue family at such a young age! But the rumors in the capital are really ugly now. If the prince knew..."

Yue Jinghao held the old lady's hand in reverse, "Grandmother, think about it, why did the prince want to get engaged to my granddaughter? It's not that the prince likes my granddaughter, but he likes my father who is the prime minister. Now my father is only a third-rank minister, and Tianhong has left such an impression on the emperor. Grandmother, do you think the queen and the prince will still recognize this marriage?"

The old lady listened to Yue Jinghao's analysis and sighed helplessly, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let Su into the mansion at that time! If it was your mother who was in charge now, our Yue Mansion wouldn't have ended up like this!"

"Grandma, don't say that. Although mother is gone, as the legitimate daughter of the Yue family, I should do what I can for the family and share the worries of grandma and father!" Yue Jinghao said it with such sincerity that the old lady was so moved that she burst into tears.

"Good child! Good child!" The old lady wiped her tears and looked at her granddaughter whom she had always ignored with mixed emotions.

Nanny Zhang also wiped away her tears secretly, and felt even more respect for Yue Jinghao, the legitimate daughter.

The grandfather and grandson talked about their inner thoughts for a while before Yue Jinghao left.

Yue Jinghong looked at Yue Tianhong lying on the couch and felt extremely distressed.

"Sister, you're back?" Yue Tianhong struggled to get up, but was held down by Yue Jinghong. "Hong'er, don't move. Don't let the wound split!"

Yue Tianhong then lay down obediently. His uncle was really amazing. His sister was exactly the same as before. She didn't even have any signs of madness! When he raised his eyes, he saw the red marks on Yue Jinghong's face. His face darkened, "Who hit her?"

Yue Jinghong quickly covered her face, "It's okay, compared to Hong'er, these are nothing!"

"How can a woman compare to a man? A woman's appearance is so important. Sister, please don't say such things again! Sister, don't worry, when I get better, I will definitely avenge you!"

In Yue Tianhong's heart, Yue Jinghong was a perfect woman, and there was no woman more beautiful than Yue Jinghong in the entire capital. Moreover, Yue Jinghong had suffered such a crime, and was beaten again just after returning home! How could Yue Tianhong not be angry?

Yue Jinghong could see that Yue Tianhong was angry, so she patted him on the back and said, "Don't worry, Hong'er. We can avenge this soon! And this time, we will make sure Yue Jinghao will never be able to turn things around!"

"What countermeasures does Yue Jinghong have?" Aunt Su felt a little comforted when she saw Yue Jinghong who was confident.

"Aunt, just wait and see the show!" Yue Jinghong smiled confidently, Yue Jinghao, your death has come!

Fengqi Palace

The prince knelt in front of the queen and told the rumors about Yue Jinghao. "Mother, Yue Jinghao is not only untalented, but also so undisciplined. How can she be worthy of being my son's princess? Moreover, Yue Hanwen is no longer the prime minister. What's the use of such a woman for me?"

The Queen was stroking a jade ruyi that had just been presented as tribute. "Don't believe the rumors! The Prince knows that!"

"But now everyone knows that my fiancée is an unruly person! How should I deal with this in the future? Today, mother, didn't you see those court officials' contempt for Yue Hanwen... I... I don't want to be pointed at like that! Please grant me your blessing, mother!" The prince kowtowed heavily on the ground, waiting for the queen's reply.

The Queen stroked Yu Ruyi and asked, "The Crown Prince is not still thinking about Miss Yue Er, right?"

The prince quickly shook his head, "Don't worry, mother! I know my limits! She is just a pawn for me to overthrow my second brother. Even if I give her a status in the future, she will only be a concubine! The selection of the Crown Princess is entirely up to you, mother!"

The queen looked into the distance, looking at the high palace walls, and she had already made up her mind...
