Chapter 220: Humm, Did You Think I Was Blind?

As soon as Baili Anqing finished her words, the surrounding people suddenly fell silent.

Yang Lin’s father and mother hurriedly stepped out from the crowd and knelt on the ground with pale faces. “Our son is impetuous. Please forgive him, Your Majesty!”

Baili Qingcang’s eyes were filled with anger. He looked as if he wanted to kill Yang Lin on the spot. “Yang Lin, what did you mean?”

Yang Lin didn’t seem to hear Baili Qingcang’s words. He still looked at Shen Ninghua infatuatedly, and his eyes were filled with tenderness and affection, as if he was looking at his beloved one. “Ninghua, I don’t care what others think, nor do I care if our relationship can be acknowledged by the world. I only need one promise from you. As long as you say that you want to be with me, I will take you with me and travel around the world.”

“Monster! Shut up! Quickly apologize to His Majesty and Princess Anqing!” Yang Lin’s father’s face turned green with anger.

Yang Lin suddenly turned around and said, “Father, I’m not wrong. What’s wrong with me pursuing my love? Ninghua and I love each other sincerely. As my father, why can’t you support me?”

Yang Lin’s father was so angry that his entire body trembled. He wished he could faint on the spot. “Your Majesty, I apologize on behalf of this monster. Please forgive us, Your Majesty.”

Baili Anqing looked at the scene. Her heart was beating excitedly. From the moment Yang Lin opened his mouth, she suddenly saw her hope. As long as Yang Lin made a scene, he would not only destroy Shen Ninghua, but also ruin Baili Anning’s wedding ceremony. She could even use this to break away from Yang Lin and find a good husband. It would be best if Shen Ninghua and Baili Anning both ended up in divorce, so that she could have a wider range of choices.

“Father Emperor,” Baili Anqing’s thoughts surged, and she knelt in the center of the hall. “Father Emperor, since Yang Lin is in love with someone else, I can’t force him to marry me. Please have mercy on me and let me break off my engagement with him!”

As Baili Anqing spoke, tears rolled down her face. Her pale face was filled with grief and sadness, as if she was on the verge of collapse.

Zhao Huiying said worriedly, “Fangxue, hurry up and help Princess Anqing up. Anqing, you can let us know if you have any problem. Your Father Emperor will not allow you to be wronged. We will do justice for you.”

Baili Anqing kowtowed deeply and said in a sobbing voice, “Thank you, Father Emperor and Mother Empress.”

Zhao Huiying seemed to be comforting Baili Anqing, but her implication was clear: Yang Lin did have an affair with Shen Ninghua. Otherwise, how could Baili Anqing be wronged? Why did she need the emperor to do justice for her?

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Shen Ninghua, and they waited to see how this “unfaithful” princess would react.

Shen Ninghua, on the other hand, was completely calm, as if she wasn’t the one at the forefront of the storm.

Yang Lin was still talking about his true love, but no one paid attention to him anymore.

Just as everyone was wondering, Shen Ninghua suddenly moved.

She slowly walked around the table in front of her. Her face was as cold as ice and her voice was chilly. As she walked forward, she said, “Yang Lin, you keep saying that you have an affair with me. When did we meet, when did we make a promise, what tokens of love did we exchange, and what evidence do you have to prove all these? How did we usually meet, where did we go, and what did we say after we met?”

After she finished speaking, she stopped there and was just three steps away from Yang Lin.

Yang Lin looked at Shen Ninghua infatuatedly. “Ninghua, have you forgotten all these things? We met at the Spring Hiking Festival, and we loved each other at first sight. The heavens and earth, the sun and moon, they all witnessed our love. The spring grass, the tender willows, and the wind are the witnesses of our love for each other.”

Shen Ninghua’s eyes were as cold as ice. “Heavens and earth, sun and moon, spring grass and tender willows? Compiler Yang, are you crazy after compiling books all day? His Majesty personally conferred on me the title of Princess Zhaohua. I enjoy a double salary because I have made contributions to the people many times. In contrast, you are only an editor of the Imperial Academy who earns 25 taels of silver a month. You said that we have deep affection. What is so good about you that is worthy of my love?”

As soon as she finished these words, everyone was stunned. Many people looked at Yang Lin and then at Shen Ninghua, feeling quite funny and ridiculous.

That was right. This Yang Lin looked good. He was an editor of the Imperial Academy at a young age, but this was because he had a good grandfather. If it wasn’t for Imperial Counselor Yang, how could he have the glory today? Shen Ninghua was the dignified Princess Zhaohua. What did he have that could impress her?

Baili Qingcang’s expression relaxed a lot. He suppressed his anger and continued to watch the development of the situation.

Hearing Shen Ninghua’s words, Yang Lin looked as if he was overwhelmed with grief. “Ninghua, how could you do this to me?”

Shen Ninghua’s back was straight, and a cold and noble aura suddenly emitted from her. At this moment, a layer of cold light seemed to suffuse her surroundings, making her look like a Profound Maiden from the Nine Heavens descending from the sky. She was cold and noble and could not be blasphemed.

“Yang Lin, did I say anything wrong? You are proficient in neither literature nor martial arts. And you also fail to live up to your position as a compiler! You read books of sages in the Imperial Academy all day, but what did you learn? Have you forgotten all the teachings of the sages? Today is Princess Anning’s wedding day. Do you want to use your own life to destroy the lives of two princesses? Who gave you the guts? Kneel down!”

“Kneel down! Kneel down! Kneel down…”

The last two words were resolute and resounding, with a cold aura that was like a mountain descending from the sky and smashing onto Yang Lin’s head. Yang Lin was dumbfounded. Only the words “kneel down” lingered in his mind. He couldn’t help but kneel on the ground with a plop!

Zhao Huiying was also shocked by Shen Ninghua’s sudden explosion of aura. But she quickly restored her senses. Then, she gritted her teeth and glared at Yang Lin. This trash was actually suppressed by a woman’s aura!

The surrounding people were also dumbfounded. Yang Lin turned out to be a man who could be frightened by a woman to the point that his legs went weak. Not to mention Princess Zhaohua, even an ordinary woman would not like him! Thinking of the shameless words he had said, many people immediately stared at Yang Lin as if they were looking at a toad. How dared such a useless man want to marry a beautiful woman!

Shen Ninghua looked down at Yang Lin from above and sneered. “My husband Chu Junyi is a genius and has excellent martial arts. He also loved me deeply! Having an affair with you? Humm, am I blind?”

Boom!

Everyone burst into laughter. Indeed, Princess Zhaohua wasn’t blind. How could she fall for Yang Lin, a trash?

Although it wasn’t announced publicly, everyone in the capital knew that the Second Prince had a deep affection for Princess Zhaohua. She even rejected the Second Prince, so how could she have an affair with a toad?

Chu Junyi stepped forward and held Shen Ninghua’s hand tightly. With a wanton smile on his handsome face, he stood shoulder to shoulder with her and said, “Compiler Yang, it’s fine that you like to daydream at home. But don’t disgrace yourself by sharing your daydreamed stories with others. Ever since the Spring Hiking Festival, Princess Zhaohua has been fasting and copying Buddhist scriptures every day. Now, there are Buddhist scriptures in the princess’ mansion as evidence. Having an affair with you? Humm!”

Everyone laughed even louder. Princess Zhaohua’s “humm” had already turned Yang Lin into a toad. Chu Junyi’s “humm” almost reduced him from a toad to a pile of mud. A single glance at the mud was an assault to their eyes!

Zhao Huiying sat stiffly on the top seat, and her eyes were filled with frustration. This trash was indeed unable to accomplish anything but liable to spoil everything!

Baili Anqing lowered her head and stood still while concealing the emotions on her face. She was both ashamed and grateful. She was ashamed that the imperial son-in-law she had chosen was a complete piece of trash. She was grateful that she could cancel the engagement with Yang Lin after today’s incident.

Baili Qingcang looked at Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi with a smile and appreciation. However, when he thought of the person behind this matter, his heart was filled with disgust.

The person behind this really had sinister intentions. Yang Lin had been chosen as Anqing’s husband, but he admitted to having an affair with Ninghua on Anning’s wedding day, which implicated three princesses at once. Regardless of whether the affair was true or false, no matter how they handled it, the three princesses’ reputation would be seriously damaged. As an emperor, in order to maintain the royal prestige, he would have to let the three princesses suffer some grievances and make them stay in the nunnery forever.

Yang Lin knelt on the ground and listened to the laughter around him. He lost his consciousness for a long time before raising his head and looking at Shen Ninghua in despair. “Ninghua, how could you hurt me like this? Look at me, I’m your beloved man, aren’t I?”

The Third Prince, who was watching the fun, covered his chest and sneered. “I’m going to vomit.”

Look at you? Was it fun to look at you kneeling on the ground? This useless trash, you should at least get up first. Were your legs still weak?

Yang Lin continued to blabber, “Ninghua, have you forgotten? We once said that we should be each other’s sun, moon and star, each other’s water and air, and decorate each other’s sky with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers…”

“Oh, I can’t bear it. I’m really going to vomit.”

So much for the sun, moon, and stars crap. Why didn’t a star fall from the sky and smash you to death, so that we wouldn’t have to suffer here! With you here, instead of singing birds and fragrance of flowers, this place should be stinky and odorous!

“Ninghua…”

Baili Qingcang shouted angrily, “Shut up!”

Yang Lin’s father and mother were already desperate. Their faces were pale as they knelt on the ground. They didn’t even say a word to beg for mercy and simply left Yang Lin to the Emperor’s disposal.

Yang Lin turned a deaf ear and still kept describing his love to Shen Ninghua with a face full of affection.

At this time, everyone discovered Yang Lin’s problem.

The Third Prince cupped his hands and said, “Father Emperor, I think this Yang Lin has lost his mind. Otherwise, why does he keep talking about love and the sun, moon, and stars and turning a deaf ear to your words? This is abnormal.”

Baili Qingcang impatiently frowned. “Someone, block Yang Lin’s mouth!”

“Ah…ah…” The guards not only blocked Yang Lin’s mouth but also tied him tightly with a rope.

Baili Qingcang nodded in satisfaction. “Alright, today is Anning’s wedding day. Don’t delay the ceremony. Ignore that madman.”

Shen Ninghua’s heart suddenly relaxed, and a thick layer of cold sweat broke out on her back. The Emperor said that Yang Lin was a madman, and this meant that Yang Lin’s words were nonsense and unbelievable. In this way, her crisis was resolved!
