After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Duke Jiang was slightly stunned.

Why, is there anything wrong with this?

Duke Jiang smiled and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. However, I have only made a small contribution and do not deserve such a great reward from Your Majesty."

Emperor Chengren didn't expect that he would refuse, but since Duke Jiang was unwilling, he couldn't force him to adopt the other person's daughter as his adopted daughter.

"In that case, I will reward Princess Leping with another 100 taels of gold and three shops."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Duke Jiang and Jiang Ci Jin knelt down to express their gratitude.

Jiang Ci Jin breathed a sigh of relief silently.

Phew, so dangerous.

If the emperor had really adopted Li'er as his adopted daughter just now, she and the prince would be sworn brothers and sisters in the future.

The prince must be going crazy!

After the court was adjourned, Duke Jiang and Jiang Ci Jin were on their way back.

"Boss, you just indicated that I should not agree to His Majesty adopting Li'er as his adopted daughter. What are you asking?" asked Duke Jiang.

Jiang Ci Jin pondered for a moment.

Should I tell my father that the prince has feelings for Li'er?

He was thinking about it when Duke Jiang across from him slapped his forehead.

"I see!"

"You must be worried that after Li Er is adopted by Emperor Chengren as his adopted daughter, she will attract unnecessary hatred from the Jiang family, right?"

"If you think so, it does make sense. But you are overthinking it, Boss. When has our Jiang family ever been afraid of these things? Hahahaha..."

Jiang Ci Jin looked at Duke Jiang with an indescribable look.

Father, smile now.

I hope you can still smile so brightly when you know the truth...

Kunhe Palace.

"Haha, is this true?" The queen asked the palace maid in front of her with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I cannot lie about this. I heard that the Crown Prince's face turned green on the spot... But fortunately Duke Jiang did not agree." The maid said with a smile.

"Really? I never thought Jing'er would get humiliated one day." The Queen laughed so hard that tears came out.

"Your Majesty has arrived——"

The palace maid quickly helped the queen stand up and bow.

"What's so exciting? I can hear your laughter even from outside the door."

Emperor Chengren entered the hall and helped the queen sit down.

Thinking of what the palace maid had just said about what happened at the morning court today, the queen wanted to laugh again.

"Your Majesty, you almost did a great thing today..." the Queen teased.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Emperor Chengren heard something behind her words.

"Your Majesty, are you going to adopt the daughter of the Jiang family as your adopted daughter today?" asked the Queen.

"Yes." Emperor Chengren nodded. "The daughter of the Jiang family is brave and resourceful. She has saved members of the royal family many times before. This time, she also saved the little prince of the Southern Dynasty. This is a great achievement. I admire her very much."

"But I don't know what this stubborn old Duke Jiang is thinking. He actually disagrees? Isn't it good for her to be my adopted daughter?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Chengren was still a little angry.

Upon hearing this, the queen burst out laughing.

"Your Majesty, the daughter of the Jiang family is so outstanding, so naturally you are not the only one who appreciates her."

"What do you mean?"

Emperor Chengren wondered if there were other people who wanted to adopt her as their adopted daughter?

"Your Majesty, this time when the Jiang family's daughter disappeared, Jing'er searched for her non-stop for a whole day..." the queen said meaningfully.

"You mean, Jing'er treats Jiang's daughter..." Emperor Chengren said in astonishment.

The queen smiled and nodded.

"My goodness..." Emperor Chengren touched his head in disbelief, "I almost did something bad with good intentions!"

"Luo Rong, bring me a pen. I want to grant you a marriage!"

Emperor Chengren stood up excitedly.

The prince is finally getting married! He is going to be a royal grandfather!

Seeing his excited face, the queen quickly stopped him.

"Your Majesty, Jing'er hasn't told us about this matter yet. It might be inappropriate to grant the marriage rashly. Let's wait a little longer," the queen advised.

Emperor Chengren slowly calmed down.

"You're right, I was too excited..."

Emperor Chengren looked at the smiling queen and felt mixed emotions.

For so many years, he has been trapped in his past relationships, doting on He Tingjia but neglecting the queen.

Now, he should wake up.

Emperor Chengren gently embraced the queen and said, "Queen, you have worked hard these years..."

The sudden warmth startled the queen for a moment, but then she understood.

"Your Majesty, I am not tired..."

The Queen leaned in Emperor Chengren's arms with a cold expression.

After so many years, she no longer expected the affection of Emperor Chengren.

All she wanted was for her son to have a smooth and happy life.

The news of Jiang Ruoli's battle of wits and courage with the kidnappers and her heroic rescue of the young prince of the Southern Dynasty spread throughout Kyoto, and the people praised her bravery and fearlessness.

"The county lord is really great!"

"Hey, what county lady? I'm already a princess now!"

"Yes, yes, Princess."

"It's not easy for a woman. You really make us proud!"

"The Northern Xin Kingdom is so despicable that they even dared to slander us for capturing the Southern Dynasty's prince!"

"That's right, do you really think that our Dacheng is a vegetarian..."

"Hey, look, is this the princess of Beixin Kingdom?"

When the people on the long street saw a woman standing on the high stage, they all gathered around.

"It's really that princess!"

"What is this for?"

"I don't know, let's see what she says..."

Alia was trembling all over and standing on the stage shaking.

She didn't expect Dacheng to ask her to apologize to that woman in public!

She didn't want to come at all, but the envoy told her that if she didn't apologize, she and Agus would never be able to return to Beixin.

Agus is still in a coma. What they did during this trip to Beijing has angered their father. If they don't go back, there will be no place for them in the royal family of Beixin.

Alia gritted her teeth, stood on the stage, and spoke with a trembling voice:

"I, Alia, behaved inappropriately and sent people to kidnap Jiang Ruoli. This was my fault. I apologize. I'm sorry!"

After saying this, he bowed deeply.

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

"It was you who kidnapped the princess!"

"Damn it! Despicable Beixin people!"

"Get out of Dacheng!"

"Yes! Get out of Dacheng!"

I don't know who threw a rotten egg onto the stage, and then countless rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were thrown onto the stage.

Alia’s teeth were about to break, what a bunch of troublemakers!

She wanted to leave, but she couldn't leave yet because Emperor Dacheng asked her to apologize three times.

Alia suppressed her anger and shame, quickly made the remaining two apologies, then hurried off the stage and ran back to the inn.

After packing up her luggage, Alia left Kyoto without looking back, taking the still unconscious Agus with her.

Jiang Ci Jin and Jiang Ci An stood at the outside of the crowd and watched her apology with expressionless faces.

It was an hour later that Zheng Ye found out what happened on the long street.

He hurried to the posthouse, only to find it was empty.

Zheng Ye's legs went weak, it was over!

Royal Palace, East Palace.

Jiazuo walked quickly into the hall.

"Your Highness."

"Has everyone left?" Xiao Yujing reviewed the memorials in front of him without raising his head.

"Your Highness, except for the Holy Lady Lingjia and the little prince of the Southern Dynasty, all the envoys from various countries in the post station have left the capital." Jia Zuo replied.

"Yeah." Xiao Yujing nodded slightly.

"Your Highness..." Jiasaku spoke hesitantly.

"how?"
