Chapter 1887 Shooting Yourself in the Foot
The king's heart sank to the bottom on the spot. He was unable to utter a word, and he knew that his sister's plan had completely failed.
Now, there is really no chance of turning things around.
How could he not know that all this was already under Lu Yanjue's control? How could such a small trick possibly make him give in?
However, Lu Yanjue did not intend to let it go like this.
He said calmly, "Country A takes this marriage very seriously, so in order to avoid complications before the marriage, they entrusted me to take good care of Princess Cindy.
Therefore, I will send people from the Punishment Hall to assist the king and jointly supervise him. I hope the king will cooperate well. "
The king frowned and looked at Lu Yanjue, his expression changed.
The Punishment Hall has moved out?
Lu Yanjue knew what the king was thinking.
He obviously had no patience and didn't want to listen to the king's words anymore. He continued, "Princess Cindy's marriage to Country A is a matter of great importance. It involves the interests of the country, but she acted willfully. The Penalty Hall will naturally supervise her. As for preparing for the wedding...if there is a need, I will send someone to help."
Lu Yanjue's tone was calm, but the domineering aura he exuded was invisibly full of oppression.
This feeling made the king very unhappy.
He looked unhappy. He was obviously the supreme king, but he could do nothing about Lu Yanjue.
After staring at Lu Yanjue for a long time, he finally said in a cold voice: "No need, the royal family can still handle this matter."
Lu Yanjue replied indifferently, "That's the best. I'll leave first then."
After saying that, he was the first to say goodbye and leave.
As the man left, the guard could not help but complain, "This Earl is really taking you less and less seriously."
He watched for a long time and became so angry that he felt like this guy was too arrogant.
I don't know why the king tolerated him. The whole process was just interrogation and notification by him, and he didn't give the king any chance to speak.
The king was in a fierce and angry mood, obviously angered by Lu Yanjue's repeated refusal to give in.
The guard then said, "The Punishment Hall has too much power, which is not a good thing. If there is a chance in the future, the king must take it back and not let it hinder you in every way!"
The king's eyes were gloomy, and he naturally thought so. However, he could only think about it now, as he would not be able to get it back in a short time.
However, he will take this matter into consideration before implementing it. Otherwise, if things go on like this, he, the king, will be like a mere decoration and will not even be able to handle a small matter like his own sister.
So, now even if he is unhappy, he can only suppress his emotions and dare not lose his temper.
Finally, he ordered the guards, "Have someone speed up and prepare for the wedding."
These past two days he still held on to a glimmer of hope that he could turn the situation around, so he didn't rush.
Now my sister has no choice but to get married.
The guard nodded quickly, "Yes."
……
Half an hour later.
Cindy's residence was guarded by Lu Yanjue's men. The entrance was guarded at every level, and the defenses inside and outside were so tight that not even a fly could fly out.
Princess Cindy knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world.
At the moment, he was in a good mood, feeling proud that his plan against Lu Yanjue had succeeded.
Unexpectedly, the next second, I saw a group of people coming in and surrounding the yard.
Princess Cindy's smile disappeared instantly.
When he found something was wrong, he immediately asked: "What is going on???"
The guard told her, "The marriage with Country A remains unchanged. The Earl is afraid that you will run away again, so he sent people from the Punishment Hall to keep an eye on you."
what?
Cindy was stunned for a few seconds.
Then, he asked nervously, "What's going on? Didn't my brother promise me that he would cooperate with me and force Lu Yanjue to take responsibility for me?"
Why did things turn out like this?
Yet he himself was under strict surveillance?
The guard shook his head and said, "I don't know the details, but Mr. Earl and Jiang Ruoli are said to have finalized their marriage plans and will probably be preparing for the engagement soon. As for what happened with you in the restaurant..."
Speaking of this, the guard paused, his expression hesitant, as if he didn't dare to say it.
Seeing this, Princess Cindy asked angrily, "What happened between me and his restaurant? Tell me now!"
The guard replied tremblingly, "Because when you booked the box, you used Jiang Ruoli's name, so the Earl's assistant announced to the public that the Earl had an appointment with his fiancée that night and accidentally met the princess. Your clothes are damaged.
It was a misunderstanding that allowed someone to take the photo, so it was easy for others to believe it. "
When Princess Cindy heard this, she almost had a heart attack.
When Lu Yanjue was tricked into going out that day, in order to avoid suspicion, the private room he booked was indeed in Jiang Ruoli's name.
I never expected that the problem would arise here.
Is this considered as lifting a rock and dropping it on her own feet?
Princess Cindy was so angry that her face almost twisted. She could no longer sit still and wanted to go out to find her brother.
However, as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by Lu Yanjue's men, "Princess, you can't leave here. Please go back quickly and don't embarrass us."
Princess Cindy was furious, "Get out of here, why are you stopping me?"
The man from the Punishment Hall said coldly, "The princess is now engaged, and this concerns the relationship between Country A and our country. Therefore, before the wedding begins, you are not allowed to take even a single step out. If you insist on forcing your way in, don't blame us for being rude."
Princess Cindy didn't believe it and sneered, "You dare to touch me? Try touching one of me???"
Having said that, he took a step forward and tried to rush out.
Lu Yanjue's men were very tough, "We naturally dare not move here, but if the princess breaks the engagement and causes losses to the royal family, then we have the right to take you to the Punishment Hall, and then we will deal with you legally."
Princess Cindy's face froze as she recalled the torture she had suffered in the Punishment Hall. Her heart suddenly twitched and fear swept over her.
She knew that the people in the Punishment Hall had all been strictly trained and were not easy to deal with.
She no longer dared to act rashly.
Princess Cindy's pupils trembled, her clenched hands were shaking, and she went back to the house angrily.
After entering, the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became, and the resentment in her heart reached its peak.
Why are you so cruel to her?
Why was he inferior to Jiang Ruoli? What was so good about her that Lu Yanjue just liked her?
I have done this without caring about my dignity, so why can't I see her?
Will you be satisfied only when you see her marry that fool?
Her chest was filled with anger, and in a rage, she smashed everything on the table.
……
After Lu Yanjue left the royal family.
Pei Yan also reported this progress.
Then he gloated and said, "Thank goodness Princess Cindy was stupid and used Miss Ruoli's name at the time, so the rumor was refuted.
Moreover, those nobles were not fools. They all guessed that it was Princess Cindy who staged and directed the incident herself. Now, her reputation is completely ruined. Now everyone has nothing but spit on her and avoids her. "
