Xie Lin was already weak and had been supported by Wang Shan. At this moment, Dongfang Ye's sword energy was like a rainbow, coming straight at him, making Xie Lin's face as pale as snow.

It happened so suddenly that Wangshan didn't have time to stop it!

"You knew that I was going to the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion to ask for marriage today, so I came first to propose marriage and offer betrothal! Thank you, Prime Minister, you are really great, you dare to steal my love!"

Dongfang Ye's eyes turned red with anger, and he wanted to kill someone to vent his anger: "You are unworthy of being a man, unworthy of being a gentleman. You promised me that you would help me and Chu Heyi and bless us! But what did you do? You are really despicable and treacherous!

"If a person like you continues to serve in the court, you will bring disaster to the people. If I allow you to marry Chu Heyi, you will ruin her life. Today, I will be in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to eliminate this harm for the people!"

Dongfang Ye was about to stab forward with the sword in his hand.

Xie Lin had never learned martial arts, and he almost instinctively reached out his hand and grasped the sword. The blade scratched his palm, blood oozed out instantly, and his face became even paler.

Everyone exclaimed, especially Chu Heyi, who was about to pull out a dagger, point it at the prince, and order him to release the person.

Xie Lin seemed to guess her reaction and winked at Wangshan, who quickly stepped forward and stopped Chu Heyi.

Taking the prince hostage is no joke.

Even if you have a thousand reasons, holding the prince hostage will put the lives of your entire family in danger.

Therefore, Xie Lin, regardless of his own safety, asked Wangshan to stop Chu Heyi and prevent her from doing anything stupid. And he himself used all his strength to hold the sword tightly, not allowing the sword to move forward one more step.

Dongfang Ye was extremely shocked. First, he didn't expect Xie Lin to dare to catch the sword with his bare hands; second, he didn't expect that Xie Lin, who looked weak, could actually stop his sword from moving forward.

"Your Highness, I was seriously injured when you came to the Xie Mansion, and I didn't have the chance to talk to you for a few more words. But I remember that I didn't promise you that day not to go to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to ask for Miss Heyi's hand in marriage."

Xie Lin’s face was pale, with a hint of blue.

He gritted his teeth, endured the pain all over his body, and continued with all his strength, "This humble official and Miss Heyi have always loved each other. Even if this humble official is going to die in the next moment, he will never let her go. How can I bless you against my will?

"Therefore, I did not break my oath as the Crown Prince said; nor did I steal your love as the Crown Prince said! If Miss Heyi had the Crown Prince in her heart, she would not have agreed to my marriage proposal just now!"

Dongfang Ye's pupils shrank slightly and his heart was shocked. Xie Lin's words made him go from being reasonable to being unreasonable.

But he was still furious. That day... that day Xie Lin really never promised to help him, nor did he promise to bless him and Chu Heyi.

It turned out that from that day on, Xie Lin had been planning to come to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to propose marriage before him, and to propose marriage on the same day, leaving him, the prince, no chance.

Presumably, from that day on, Xie Lin planned to use his life to fight against him, the prince!

Xie Lin is really ruthless, meticulous, and courageous!

Dongfang Ye was so angry that he gritted his teeth and thrust the sword in his hand forward with all his strength.

He was furious and didn't care whether it was right or wrong. He just wanted to kill Xie Lin. Didn't Xie Lin plan to fight him with his life from the beginning?

Then he would fulfill Xie Lin's wish and let him die!

Wangshan didn't bother to stop Chu Heyi, and subconsciously reached out to grasp the sword.

But Chu Heyi had reacted before him, leaped away, took the bow and arrow placed at the edge of the yard, drew the bow and arrow, and shot the arrow into the air -

Zheng!

The arrow, filled with Chu Heyi's strength, hit the prince's sword, causing his arm to go numb. The moment his hand loosened, Wangshan snatched the sword away.

Huai Wei and Huai Qi immediately stepped forward to protect the prince.

Chu Ren and Wang Shan also stepped forward and protected Xie Lin.

Chu Ren's face turned cold, he looked at Dongfang Ye and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince! Prime Minister Xie is the man my younger sister promised to marry, and he is also the man approved by me, my second mother, my father and my eldest brother who are still in the north. How can Your Highness the Crown Prince want to kill him?

"Do you think that all of us in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion are blind, so we chose Prime Minister Xie as our son-in-law, brother-in-law, and husband?

"You picked up my sister's lost earrings and used them as a keepsake to ruin her reputation. You are the crown prince, the heir apparent of a country. We, the Zhenbei Marquisate, dare not argue with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. But you want to kill our son-in-law, brother-in-law, and husband whom our whole family has chosen in our Zhenbei Marquisate. We, the Zhenbei Marquisate, will never agree to that!"

Chu Ren's eyes were like blades, slashing at Dongfang Ye: "Besides, Lord Xie is now the Prime Minister of Daqi. The Crown Prince is dissatisfied with Prime Minister Xie and wants to kill him. As the crown prince of Daqi, Your Highness is so unreasonable? For the ministers he doesn't like, there is no reason or basis, and the Crown Prince wants to kill them just based on his personal likes and dislikes? Let me ask, who will dare to be loyal to Your Highness in the future!"

Dongfang Ye’s face turned pale and he staggered back a step.

Originally he was the one who was right, but Chu Ren was so powerful in his mouth that he turned the situation around in an instant and put him in an unfavorable situation.

He was speechless and unable to respond for a moment.

He also felt extremely heartbroken. If he was the one who successfully proposed to Chu Heyi today, Chu Ren's powerful mouth would serve him in the future.

Thinking of this, the hatred in his heart surged even more. It was all Xie Lin's fault and Chu Heyi's fault. These two people were ungrateful. One dared to snatch his marriage, and the other dared to reject him.

He will remember what happened today. He will carve this hatred into his bones and blood. He will not be a human being if he does not take revenge!

Yuan Guanyu saw that the situation was irreversible, so he had to step forward and said, "To be honest, this is just a misunderstanding, there is no need to make a big fuss!

"Since Prime Minister Xie and Miss Heyi have already decided on their marriage, we naturally want to bless them. Prime Minister Xie, Miss Heyi, when you set a wedding date tomorrow, please let me know. I will definitely come to your house to ask for a glass of wedding wine. Today, Your Highness the Crown Prince and I will go back first."

This was a way out given by Yuan Guanyu. Dongfang Ye also knew that if he continued to make trouble, he would hurt the enemy by a thousand and his own eight hundred. He would ascend the throne to become the emperor in the future, so he would have the opportunity to deal with Xie Lin and Chu Heyi. Today... let's just leave it at that.

He looked at Xie Lin and Chu Heyi deeply and hatefully, then left in a huff.

Chu Heyi and Wangshan immediately stepped forward and supported the shaky Xie Lin. After Xie Lin stood still, he turned around and smiled at her: "I'm fine, don't worry."

His hands were stained with blood, and blood was still dripping down. Chu Heyi pursed his lips and said, "I'll take you to treat the wound."

Xie Lin did not refuse and let Wangshan help him walk to the inner room. Chu Heyi brought medicine and gauze, squatted beside him, wiped the blood off his hands personally, applied medicine to stop the bleeding, and then bandaged his wound with gauze.

After finishing his work, Chu Heyi breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "You knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came today to ask for marriage, so you took the lead to come here to propose marriage and offer betrothal?"
