Time travel, Your Highness Ninth Prince has been rejected from marriage again!

When the two came to the front hall, everyone was already there. Qing Xiao sat at the top and drank tea calmly.

Just as Qingyun was about to lift her foot in, she heard Zhu Jianing's complaining voice. So Qingyun put her feet back again, preparing to see what kind of monster Zhu Jianing was going to do.

"It's been almost an hour, Qing... Why hasn't the princess come yet?".

"When the princess fell into the water, she naturally had to take a shower and change clothes. She just waited."

Qing Ge didn't even open his eyes, his tone was full of impatience. Qing Xiao was unwilling to talk, and there was no one else here, so it fell to him to silence these noble ladies.

This made him very unhappy, just to see who hit his gun. Obviously, this person is Zhu Jianing.

"It won't take that long, right? If the princess doesn't come, do we have to wait forever?"

They had been standing for half an hour, and their legs hurt from standing. But Qingxiao didn't speak, and they could neither walk nor sit. It was really uncomfortable.

"If the princess doesn't come, then she will keep waiting. Isn't this the most basic rule? Does Miss Zhu not know?"

"I...", of course she knew, but she didn't want to wait.

"Can't we leave first? This has nothing to do with us."

"Oh? It's irrelevant? Then who pushed Mrs. Chu into the water? Who lured the princess's maid away? And who lured Mr. Chu over? Do you know?"

A flash of panic flashed in Zhu Jianing's eyes, "How do I know?" I don't feel confident enough to speak.

"Since you don't know, then everyone here is suspected. Are you...are you sure you want to leave?" Qing Ge glanced at everyone.

There was no involvement and it was fine to leave with a clear conscience. But if he is not around and someone bites him, he won't even have time to explain.

What's more, leaving at this time would be tantamount to a guilty conscience and greater suspicion. It is of no benefit to yourself or your family.

"The Qing governor is overly worried. Naturally, we have to wait for the princess to find out everything before leaving." Other ladies echoed.

Zhu Jia clenched her fists in anger.

He Qianqian could not sit still. Chu Yi was still lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive, which made her very worried.

"Master Shaoqing, why don't you ask a doctor to take a look at Yi'er?"

"Mrs. He, the second young master of Chu is a prisoner now and cannot ask for a doctor," Qing Ge replied.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has not yet arrived, and the whole story has not been found out. Yi'er can only be regarded as a suspect. Why can't we call a doctor when the prisoner comes?"

He Qianqian looked at Qing Xiao. She was talking to Qing Xiao and did not want to talk to Qing Ge. It made her feel like she had lost her identity.

Qing Xiao finally put down the tea cup and said, "Mrs. He, I want you to sit here because you are pregnant with Liujia. Don't push yourself too far."

"You...don't forget that my husband is the Minister of Rites. With your official position, you may not be able to judge him, right?"

A cold light flashed in He Qianqian's eyes, and when she turned to look at Chu Xionghui, she was filled with tears, looking pitiful. But this time, Chu Xionghui chose to avoid her sight, lowering his head and saying nothing.

"He can't interrogate, so can I, the princess?" Qingyun said and walked over, followed by Yan Siyuan.

"I have seen His Highness the Princess, His Highness the Ninth Highness, and His Highness is well."

Kneel when you should, bend down when you should. Only He Qianqian sat calmly.

Qingyun looked at her. Not only did she not feel guilty, but she smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't be surprised. My wife is already more than eight months pregnant and I'm afraid she won't be able to kneel down."

"What if I want you to kneel down?"

He Qianqian put away her smile and said, "Then I can only be respectful rather than obey my orders."

"Your Highness the Princess..." Chu Xionghui wanted to stop him.

"Shut up!" Yan Siyuan pushed him back.

"Kneel down!" Qingyun's voice shocked not only He Qianqian, but also the noble ladies outside.

He Qianqian stood up and slowly bent over. One hand was still holding the table, and his expression looked extremely uncomfortable. Her knees were slightly bent, and just when she was about to kneel down, tears hit the ground before her knees.

Hearing He Qianqian's sobs, Chu Yan and Chu Xionghui couldn't stay any longer and stood up to help He Qianqian.

"Your Highness, I am willing to take full responsibility for any faults I have made. I hope the princess will not target my wife again." Chu Xionghui bowed to Qingyun, putting on a righteous look.

He Qianqian's knees never touched the ground. Qingyun felt a little disappointed, but she didn't force it and sat on the main seat.

"What Chu Shangshu said is wrong. How to punish yourself? The laws of Tianyuan Kingdom are there. How can I, the princess, use punishment privately?"

"Your Highness the Princess said so." Chu Xionghui's attitude was humble and he didn't even raise his head.

Qingyun waved her hand and everyone stood up.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Does Chu Shangshu have an eye disease?"

Chu Xionghui didn't speak. He didn't understand what Qingyun meant.

"When did you see that this princess was targeting Mrs. He? Isn't it right to kneel down when you see this princess?"

"Your Highness, my wife is pregnant and I really cannot kneel down. I am willing to kneel down for her."

True to his word, Chu Xionghui knelt down straight. Qingyun felt pain just hearing the sound of her knees hitting the ground. Chu Xionghui was stunned and remained silent.

"Chu Shangshu loves his wife very much."

Qingyun looked at the nails on her hands dyed red by impatiens. She added a few medicinal herbs to make the color brighter and more even. Looking at it now, she looks very beautiful.

"I am ashamed. If my wife has offended His Highness the Princess, I am willing to take the punishment on my behalf."

"Chu Xionghui, who do you think you are? You take responsibility for everyone's sins. Then Chu Yi committed a capital crime, are you willing to take responsibility for it?"

Chu Xionghui raised his head in shock, "Your Highness, please don't say this nonsense."

He Qianqian stopped crying and looked at Qingyun in shock.

"Chu Shangshu, do you think this princess is talking nonsense?"

Seeing Qingyun's serious eyes, Chu Xionghui's heart sank to the bottom of his heart. All he knew when he came was that Chu Yi had touched Qing Yun's maid. He knew Qing Yun might be angry and make Chu Yi suffer. But it couldn't be a capital crime, unless there was something else.

Qingyun didn't want to talk nonsense with him any more, so she looked at Chu Yi who was half dead and said, "Please wake him up, my princess."

Qingge brought a bucket of ice water and poured it on Chu Yi to wake him up. When he woke up, his mouth was still full of blood. He coughed up several mouthfuls of blood before stopping.

I also lost several teeth. The blood mixed with the teeth fell out, making him look miserable.

When he saw He Qianqian, he crawled over to her. He actually cried, sobbing unable to make a sound. Like a bereaved dog struggling to its death.

"Chu Shangshu, I have told you a long time ago. If you don't know how to teach your children, then I will teach you for you!"

Seeing Chu Yi like this, Chu Xionghui felt very sad. But listening to Qingyun's words, he must have made a big mistake.

"It all depends on the princess," Chu Xionghui's voice trembled, mixed with disappointment.
