The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Chu Heyi slid to the ground, and the prince quickly hugged her around the waist, lowered his eyes to look at her pale face, but reached out to take off one of her earrings and hid it in his palm.

"Baihua, take your girl back home and take good care of her."

Only after the prince spoke did Huai Qi move aside, allowing Baihua to go forward, hug Chu Heyi, and take her out of the palace.

The prince did not leave for a long time. He stood there, playing with the earring in his hand. It was an earring with a flower carved from white jade and a light green jade bead hanging underneath. It was very delicate.

The prince watched Chu Heyi leave with a faint smile on his lips.

"Huai Qi, go and get ready. I will go to the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion in person to ask for marriage from the Princess of Cheng'an County."

Huai Qi was shocked and said anxiously, "Your Highness, the last time the Queen and you asked the Emperor for a marriage, the Emperor did not agree, and the Queen was even confined for a period of time because of this. I'm afraid that the Emperor and the Queen will not agree to your marriage to the Princess of Cheng'an. Moreover, the Princess of Cheng'an... has a strong temper. If she doesn't agree, I'm afraid..."

——I’m afraid you’ll lose face if you go!

Chu Heyi was canonized as the Princess of Cheng'an County not because of her father, the Marquis of Zhenbei, nor her elder brother, the general, but because of herself.

She grew up in the countryside and had no regard for rules. Her words and actions were completely different from those of other girls.

The prince did not win her heart, and once he came to ask for her hand in marriage, he would definitely be rejected by her! But how could his prince bear to be rejected?

Huai Qi was afraid that by that time the East Palace and the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion would be at loggerheads, and the two sides would become complete enemies, with no way out of the conflict.

In this way, the prince not only failed to get the support of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, but also made the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion stand against him. It was too unprofitable!

For now, he was not sure whether the Zhenbei Marquisate would be adversely affected by Chu Heyi's refusal of the prince's proposal, but he was sure that his prince would definitely be affected.

"As the crown prince, you will rule the country in the future. If your marriage proposal is rejected, I am afraid that the history books will record it and it will be difficult to erase it. Please think twice, Your Highness!"

Huai Qi knew very well that although it was risky to persuade the prince now, if the prince's marriage proposal was rejected, those of them who served him would be in even greater danger and would have no good days at all.

Dongfang Ye unfolded the earrings in his hand and held them in front of Huai Qi. "Who told you that Miss Heyi didn't agree? I have already asked her just now, and she said she would wait for me! Now that her earrings are in my hands, she can't deny it even if she wants to!"

His face was full of determination.

He went to see the emperor and the empress, fanning himself. It was a big deal for the prince to ask for marriage. If he could get the support of the emperor and empress, he would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

He first went to see the Queen and told her about the Prime Minister's ambush on Xie Lin and the death of Xie Lin. He also said, "In the afternoon, Chu Heyi came to the palace with injuries all over his body and used Xie Lin's incident to completely overthrow the Prime Minister. Now the Prime Minister has been dismissed and imprisoned!"

Talking about this matter, the prince felt extremely happy. What he said to Chu Heyi was not false. He was indeed happy that Chu Heyi had overthrown the prime minister. He also really appreciated and liked Chu Heyi's vigorous style of doing things!

"This time, the Prime Minister will not be able to escape death. It's bad enough that he ambushed and murdered Xie Lin, but he also colluded with bandits twice to murder the people. If he can live, I'm afraid no one will be convinced. It depends on whether the Chengguo Mansion will be implicated. King Cheng has lost an important chess piece this time."

Dongfang Ye became more and more excited as he spoke, and he didn't notice that the queen was lost in thought and didn't respond to his words.

"Oh, by the way, mother, I want to marry Chu Heyi as the Crown Princess! She is smart, capable and beautiful, I like her very much! And Xie Lin is dead, now is the best time for me to go to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to ask for marriage, I want grandpa to help me go to the door to act as a matchmaker!"

The queen came back to her senses a little. Chu Heyi's family background was worthy of the prince and would also be helpful to the prince. She said, "Go and talk to your father. If he agrees, you can ask your grandfather to help you propose marriage."

"Your son is leaving!" The prince said goodbye immediately.

The queen watched him leave, and was silent for a long time before she murmured softly, "I tried every way to kill him, but he managed to escape. I didn't expect that he would die so easily at the hands of the prime minister..."

The queen smiled softly, her eyes filled with a cold light like ice: "It's better to die, it's better to die, from now on I don't have to worry about what I did in the past anymore."

King Cheng first lost his imperial concubine, and now he has lost his prime minister. He is now alone and cannot stand up to the challenge of his prince.

The queen laughed until she laughed out loud. Suddenly, tears filled her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. She wiped them away quickly and firmly.

The prince went to the emperor's bedroom and told him that he was going to marry Chu Heyi.

The emperor looked at him majestically for a while, "Last time you and the queen asked me to grant you a marriage, the Princess of Cheng'an rejected you. Why are you still so persistent, my son? All the young ladies in Daqi are at your disposal."

"Father, times have changed. The Princess of Cheng'an County did not understand me before, so she rejected me. But I have deep feelings for her and want to marry her as the Crown Princess. Just now outside the Purple Palace, I have already asked her what she thinks. She is waiting for me to come and ask for marriage. This earring is a token of my love. Please help me!"

The emperor looked at the earrings and found that they were indeed the ones Chu Heyi was wearing today. She didn't have any jewelry on her at the time, so the earrings were very hard to ignore.

The emperor's expression relaxed a little: "In this case, you can handle this matter yourself. If the Princess of Cheng'an agrees, let the Ministry of Rites arrange the wedding for you. I will not obstruct it."

Dongfang Ye immediately said, "Thank you for your help, Father. I am going to ask Grandpa to help me propose marriage. What do you think, Father?"

"It would be great if a master came forward to ask for my hand in marriage."

Dongfang Ye was delighted. After thanking the emperor, he quickly left the palace to seek help from the tutor.

……

When Chu Heyi woke up, it was already dark.

She was in pain all over and had no strength at all. She looked around and found herself back home, lying in her familiar bed.

Entering the palace, overthrowing the prime minister, and then Xie Lin coming to pick her up were all clearly reflected in her mind.

She quietly asked herself in her heart: "So, I really entered the palace, right? I really overthrew the Prime Minister, right? Xie Lin has also woken up and is here to take me home, right?"

These weren't just her imaginations, were they?

But it really happened, right?

Looking back, everything seemed so real, but she inevitably felt dazed. She couldn't believe that she had succeeded in getting justice for Xie Lin despite the injuries all over her body.

Xie Lin was so seriously injured that she couldn't bear it if the Prime Minister had one more day, one more hour, or even one more moment of good life!

Xianyue and Aunt Rui came over to look at her immediately, especially Aunt Rui, who asked with red eyes: "Miss, you are awake, are you feeling better?"

"Madam, you're worried. I'm fine. Where's Lord Xie?" Chu Heyi asked. Since Xie Lin has woken up, it means he is fine. So has he gone back to his own home?
