A gentleman's promise is hard to follow, and it's too late to regret.
Seeing that five years have passed by, the prince will turn fifteen in half a month.
Once the Holy Emperor gives the East Palace a marriage contract, Prime Minister Qin's grounding may no longer be able to stop Qin Jiaoxi.
Sooner or later she would have to go to the palace to meet the Emperor and the Queen Mother.
And Qin Jiaoxi's face, which could be considered a half-grown child, looked very much like someone's face. Once it appeared in front of the Holy Master, he could no longer hide it——
It is rumored that the regent of the Great Zhao Kingdom, Shenlong, has seen his head but not his tail, and it is difficult for the ministers to see his true appearance.
But what about the Queen Mother, her biological mother?
Once the future Crown Princess Qin Jiaoxi stepped into the palace wall, the Queen Mother would be blind and she would be able to tell that her face was almost exactly the same as that of the Prince Regent!
That's why Mrs. Qin would not hesitate to be cruel to Qin Jiaoyue and completely cancel the engagement!
Qin Jiaoxi slowly reached out to touch his cheek and closed his eyes.
"Mom, since we have a shallow relationship, there is no need to force it!"
In the previous life in the dream, Qin Jiaoxi was pressed between life and death several times by her mother.
Now, everything is still developing towards the situation of the previous life.
Probably only after she died would her mother no longer worry about the secrets her face would expose.
It’s okay not to have such a mother-daughter relationship!
On the side, Qin Jiaoyue came back to her senses and thought that Qin Jiaoxi was talking about her marriage to the prince. She was so proud that she couldn't help but responded: "That's right. Since the relationship is shallow, sister doesn't need to be upset about it!"
As he said this, he picked up the cloth with the medicine on the table and put it on his forehead again.
At this moment, Qin Jiaoxi suddenly stood up, staggering and almost hitting Qin Jiaoyue.
"I'm sorry, sister, it was my sister who was too careless!"
Qin Jiaoxi quickly reached out to catch the ointment cloth that almost fell to the ground, shook the ashes and handed it to Qin Jiaoyue.
"Sister, please take good care of this injury and don't touch the water again!"
Qin Jiaoyue rolled her eyes: "Don't worry, sister, my injury will heal soon!"
Otherwise, how could I accept the royal engagement for her beautifully!
After the goal was achieved and the medicine was applied to the wound, Qin Jiaoyue led a group of maids and nuns to leave in high spirits, leaving Qin Jiaoxi clean.
However, at night, noisy sounds came from the hospital again.
Jun Lan listened from a distance when he passed by, and when he came back, he told Qin Jiaoxi with an angry expression:
"Ha, I heard that the injury on the second young lady's forehead was much more serious. Not only did it crack, but it also became suppurative. My wife asked the prime minister to ask the imperial doctor to see it. It is said that the wound was accidentally infected with something unclean and the wound had to be treated.
All the flesh on it was dug out and regrown!”
Qin Jiaoxi hissed: "It hurts to hear it!"
She never expected that the packet of poisonous powder intended to frame her was so powerful, which made her feel very heavy - it was such a waste. If she had known better, she should have kept the whole packet and kneaded it in.
After all, they have sworn an oath. If they give up the engagement but fail to complete the matter of hurting Qin Jiaoyue's face, wouldn't this oath be childish?
Jun Lan snorted: "You deserve it! Who asked her to come to the attic to disturb the lady from reading? That's all. She also had to let the lady stand on the edge of the dangerous stairs. Fortunately, she fell down by herself, otherwise she would have fallen.
What should I do if I am a young lady?"
Qin Jiaoxi chuckled softly: "If it were me who fell, I would naturally terminate the engagement directly because of my appearance!"
In short, this is their purpose!
Jun Lan shook her head and rejoiced for a long time, then suddenly frowned: "Oops, the second young lady's injury is serious. Will Madam be in a bad mood and blame the young lady again?"
