"Father, my son's fiancée went to visit my second brother's house. I wanted to take her back, so I went to Prince Ming's mansion. I didn't expect that my second brother would not only refuse to let her go, but also quarreled with me, and finally started fighting."

After saying that, Chu Feimo looked at Chu Jingming provocatively and silently uttered the word "child". Jiang Xue saw it clearly from the side.

He didn't mention the child because he understood that Chu Jingming didn't want the Xiyong royal family to know about the child's existence.

The Xiyong royal family has always attached great importance to pure bloodline. If they knew that the child was of humble origin, they would definitely get rid of him as soon as possible.

By doing this, he was actually putting pressure on Chu Jingming in secret. If he did not obey him, the child's secret would be leaked, and then Yunyan and the child would both die.

"fiancée?"

Emperor Xiyong raised his eyebrows and looked at the queen, only to see that she was also surprised and stared at her son in disbelief. When did this prince have a fiancée?

As the crown prince, his marriage was related to state affairs, how could he make a casual decision? The sudden appearance of a crown prince's fiancée surprised everyone present.

"Prince, do you know what you are saying?" asked Emperor Xiyong.

"Father, I know what I said. I did bring back a fiancée. This has been detailed in the order to return to the city."

After Chu Feimo finished speaking, Emperor Xiyong immediately ordered the eunuch to bring the return order and check it carefully.

It turned out that when Chu Feimo's report was delivered, he was busy with harem affairs and did not read it carefully. Now he saw that the four words "Princess Qianguo" were mentioned at the beginning.

"The legitimate wife of the Qian Kingdom... Jiang Xue?" Emperor Xiyong read out the name and felt it was very familiar. Thinking back, this was the former Princess Gong who was disgraced by the incest scandal!

Why did Chu Feimo choose such a woman as his fiancée?

"Where is Princess Changle? Bring her up!"

Emperor Xiyong angrily threw away the order to return to the city, his face turning ashen.

Following the order, Jiang Xue slowly stepped forward and saluted gracefully: "Changle greets the Emperor of Xiyong."

When she raised her head, the beautiful face made the Xiyong Emperor lose his mind for a moment. She was different from the soft beauty of Xiyong women. She had a graceful figure and picturesque eyebrows and eyes, which made people unable to take their eyes off.

"Father." Upon seeing this, Chu Jingming called out softly, reminding his father to look away.

"Are you Princess Changle?"

Emperor Xiyong came back to his senses. Although he pretended to be serious on the surface, the gleam in his eyes revealed his true thoughts - how could he miss such a beauty?

"What a rare beauty." He whispered to himself, but his voice was heard clearly by Chu Feimo and Chu Jingming.

The two of them were shocked when they heard this. This old man actually had lustful thoughts about Princess Changle!

"Father, Princess Changle saved my life, and she is the wife of an old friend. I naturally cannot let her suffer any injustice."

Although Chu Feimo was dissatisfied, he still firmly defended Princess Changle.

Chu Jingming saluted the Xiyong Emperor and said, “Although you are lustful, you still have a sense of propriety for the overall situation.

Even if you are tempted by someone who saved my life, you will restrain yourself for the sake of the royal family's reputation. Besides, she is already a married woman. Pointing this out in public will shut Chu Feimo up."

As the crown prince, Chu Feimo forced another man's wife to marry, which was unacceptable to both the royal family and the ministers. At least on the surface, he did not dare to act rashly.

As soon as Chu Jingming finished speaking, the face of the Xiyong Emperor changed slightly. Although he was unwilling in his heart, he also understood that this beauty could not be easily provoked. She was the legitimate daughter of Qian State, had saved Prince Ming, and was also the wife of Beiling Emperor Xiao Zhan. Any identity could not be touched casually. If he accidentally offended the new emperor of Qian State or Beiling, even Xiyong would find it difficult to withstand the joint pressure of the two countries.

"Emperor Xiyong, Changle has something to say." Jiang Xue took the opportunity to say it. Since she came here, she would naturally not miss this opportunity.

"Approved." Emperor Xiyong nodded in agreement.

"The fight between Prince Ming and the Crown Prince is an internal affair of the Xiyong royal family, and Changle is not in a position to say more. But since this matter involves Changle, I think it is necessary to clarify it.

The Crown Prince forcibly took Changle away without her consent, which violated the rules of interaction between countries. Prince Ming’s rescue was a helpless move. I hope that the Emperor of Xiyong can distinguish right from wrong and not wrongly accuse Prince Ming. "

Upon hearing this, the Queen retorted in a cold tone: "Princess Changle believes that Prince Ming is not at fault? Then the Crown Prince's injury was his own fault?"

"Empress, Changle is just stating the facts, there is no other meaning."

Jiang Xue knew clearly that if Chu Feimo had not violated Prince Ming's bottom line, how could this disaster have happened?

"Humph! The truth? I'm afraid Princess Changle is still hiding something?"

Chu Feimo's face turned pale. He had originally planned to leave Jiang Xue with nowhere to escape, but was counterattacked by Chu Jingming and her.

Thinking of the previous threats to Jiang Xue, Chu Feimo secretly decided that if she did not act according to his wishes, he would no longer cover up her secrets.

"What else are you hiding?" Emperor Xiyong was already a little impatient.

"Father, there is one thing I don't want to reveal, but the dignity of the royal family cannot be violated. The reason why my second brother attacked me is because..."

Chu Feimo was about to reveal the truth about Yunyan and the child, but suddenly he was speechless, as if someone covered his mouth!

"Fei Mo, speak quickly!" The queen became extremely anxious upon seeing this.

But no matter how hard Chu Feimo tried, he couldn't make a sound and breathing became difficult. Soon, his eyes went dark and his body fell heavily to the ground, passing out.

"Fei Mo!" The queen was so frightened when she saw her son suddenly fall down that her face turned pale and she shouted loudly. She immediately ordered her servants to go to the Imperial Hospital to ask for a doctor.

Emperor Xiyong was also shocked. He didn't expect that the prince would suddenly faint!

Jiang Xue stared at the unconscious Chu Feimo in surprise, then turned to look at Chu Jingming and found that he remained expressionless with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but he soon regained his composure.

He turned his head to look at the palace door, only to see a dignified girl standing there quietly with a calm expression.

Although the girl's clothes were not luxurious, they were of excellent quality. On her head was only an exquisite white jade hairpin with unique red patterns carved on it, which looked like bloodstains in jade from a distance.

"Huaiyu pays respect to Father, Emperor, and Mother, Empress."

The girl walked into the hall and saluted the two elders with smooth movements. Even when she saw Chu Feimo fall to the ground, she did not show any surprise.

"What are you doing here?" The queen never had a good impression of the third princess.

For some reason, every time the queen faced her, she would feel a chill, and always felt that there was something indescribable weird about the third princess.

The third princess's biological mother died when she was born, and later several concubines who raised her died one after another.

The queen once told her fortune that she had an extremely yin constitution and a dangerous fate. Anyone who was not a strong person would be defeated by her.

Therefore, the queen always tried to stay away from the third princess, for fear that she would be killed.

"Huaiyu heard that the second brother was here, so he came to see him."

Chu Jin said, turning his gaze to Chu Jingming, then glancing at Chu Feimo on the ground.
