Chapter 74 Conspiracy
These words were spoken.
The entire court was stunned.
"presumptuous!"
"How dare you humiliate Prime Minister Lin!"
"These barbarians are utterly shameless!"
The civil and military officials were all so angry that their faces turned red.
Lin Qingyan is the backbone of their Great Yu, a model for scholars.
How could he be so disrespected by a princess from an enemy country?
This is a slap in the face to everyone in Dayu!
Lin Qingyan's face turned ashen, and she was about to refuse.
Just then.
The little empress, sitting on her high throne, felt a sudden surge of anger.
[Hey! How dare you flirt with my Prime Minister Lin?]
[You still want to snatch him back and make him your son-in-law?]
Yu Zhaoning puffed out her cheeks angrily, looking like a little hamster with its fur standing on end.
[Prime Minister Lin is the Grand Chancellor of the Great Yu Dynasty; he can only work for me!]
Who do you think you are, little cookie!
[Hmph, so this barbarian princess won't shed a tear until she sees the coffin.]
[Then this little one won't stand on ceremony!]
[System! System!]
[I will show this arrogant princess what the wickedness of society is!]
The system rubbed its hands together.
[Alright, host!]
As the system voice faded away.
Yu Zhaoning also saw more content.
[This female lead, Cui Yue, really has a silver tongue!]
[She was clearly in the Great Yu Kingdom before, and if she hadn't brought this upon herself, no one would have treated her badly. But after finding the barbarian princess, she kept crying and complaining, turning the tables and slandering the quality of our Great Yu Kingdom!]
[That's fine then.]
[Most importantly...]
Yu Zhaoning sneered inwardly.
[She lured this barbarian princess here, but her plan is to use her and then reveal her true colors!]
[Murder to silence them!]
[Then, on the way, they killed this barbarian princess!]
[She overturned her previous clues, took the place of the barbarian princess, and assumed the throne!]
These were his true feelings.
Everyone present who could hear his inner thoughts was completely stunned.
Even the envoys from the barbarian kingdoms looked at each other in bewilderment.
His eyes were full of doubt.
The girl looked so delicate and frail that she wouldn't even dare to step on an ant.
She speaks softly.
How could someone do something so heinous?
Naraya didn't believe it at all.
She scoffed inwardly, dismissing the sudden sound with disdain.
"absurd!"
"This is absolutely ridiculous!"
"This Empress of Great Yu is not old, but her ability to spread rumors is superb!"
"They can actually call black white!"
"Sister Yue is my best friend, even closer than a blood sister!"
"She's so kind; she could cry for ages just to save an injured little rabbit."
"How could you possibly harm me?"
"This is clearly a divisive tactic!"
"I, Naraya, will never be fooled!"
However.
The civil and military officials of the Great Yu Dynasty, however, believed it without a doubt.
They had witnessed firsthand the power of their emperor's "golden words."
Since His Majesty says so.
That must be it!
And so it was.
Hundreds of eyes turned to the figure in the straw hat hiding behind the crowd.
His eyes were filled with inquiry and disdain.
Goodness.
This is the legendary ingrate!
Not only did he betray his country for personal gain, but he also killed his friends to rise to power?
That's incredibly heartless!
I could feel the tangible gazes around me.
Although Cui Yue couldn't hear her own thoughts, she still felt very uncomfortable.
That feeling.
It's like being stripped naked and thrown into the street.
She bit her lip tightly under her straw hat, a wave of panic washing over her.
What happened?
Why do these people look at me so strangely?
It's like looking at a dead person?
Could it be...?
Has my plan been exposed?
That's impossible!
She only told the system about this plan; even her brother Jingchuan didn't know!
Just as Cui Yue was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
Yu Zhaoning's inner voice rang out once again.
With an air of confident assurance.
[Hmph!]
[I knew this silly princess wouldn't believe me.]
[No one would believe it if I told them.]
[After all, Cui Yue's acting skills are Oscar-worthy!]
However…
[Since I dared to say it, I must have evidence!]
Yu Zhaoning waved her short hand in the air.
[The evidence lies with Cui Yue!]
[The jade pendant she's clutching tightly in her hand!]
[That's the blood jade that the barbarian princess wore at birth; it's a token of the barbarian royal family!]
[She had already claimed the jade pendant for herself!]
[This is preparation for using someone else's identity later!]
[In the original story, she used this jade pendant to successfully deceive the blind barbarian king.]
[This completely confirms her identity as a princess of the barbarian kingdom!]
[In the end, she and the male lead lived happily ever after, while the real princess was abandoned in the wilderness like trash to be fed to wolves!]
[It's absolutely rotten to the core!]
Upon hearing this...
Naraya's body stiffened abruptly.
His previously disdainful expression froze instantly.
Jade pendant?
Her blood jade was a keepsake left to her by her mother, and she never parted with it.
It was lost a few days ago.
Could it be...?
Is this really a conspiracy?
Naraya instinctively turned around.
His gaze was fixed on Cui Yue behind him.
At this time.
Cui Yue was completely unaware that she had been stripped bare.
He noticed Naraya's gaze.
I thought it was the little princess who wanted me to come forward and speak.
then.
She adjusted her straw hat, feigning weakness.
I took two steps forward.
Her voice trembled slightly, and she sounded aggrieved.
"Sister Ya'er..."
"Are they... are they bullying you?"
"I knew the people of Dayu would be difficult to get along with."
"How about we just forget about it?"
"Don't let me ruin your relationship with Da Yu."
"I... I'm okay with suffering a little grievance..."
These words.
His words were so plaintive and heart-wrenching that they brought tears to the eyes of all who heard them.
Normally
Naraya was already moved to tears and rushed over to comfort her dear sister.
But now.
Hearing that familiar tone of voice.
Naraya felt a chill run down her spine and got goosebumps all over her body.
