The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 287 What happened back then
I didn't expect that she wouldn't give them any face at all.

The faces of the ministers present, who had originally intended to respect her, turned somewhat ugly.

One of the ministers even stood up and said, "Your Highness, I have to say that you are going a little too far."

"It's not that we don't respect you, it's just that you're being so unreasonable and we don't know what to do!"

No one expected that Lord Zhou would dare to confront Her Royal Highness the Princess in this way. The other ministers were all worried when they saw this.

But at the same time, they also had a hint of anticipation in their hearts.

Lord Zhou is so righteous, maybe the princess will listen to him?
"You say I'm being unreasonable?" A cold light flashed in Ye Shu's eyes, and she stared straight at the person in front of her.

Being stared at by her with such eyes, Lord Zhou couldn't help but retreat a little, and finally he could only bite the bullet and say helplessly, "Your Highness... This humble minister did not mean..."

"Then what do you mean? Please explain it clearly today."

"And you too." Ye Shu continued to sweep her eyes across the crowd, "I'm sure there are many of you who think the same way as him."

"I will give you this opportunity now. You can speak out whatever you think. If you don't speak out now, don't say that I didn't give you this opportunity in the future."

At this moment, her demeanor was so graceful and elegant, as if she had returned to that time in the past.

At that time, she was just a little princess raised in a greenhouse. Apart from her innocence, she looked no different from other girls. Dongli encountered provocations from foreign countries and its national strength was weak. For the sake of diplomatic relations, it had to send the princess to marry.

It was at that time that she became a princess married to a foreign country and met that man.

Seeing her so charming and stunning again, some of the ministers present could not help but start to reminisce.

"What? No one is going to say it? Since you don't want to say it, then I will say it." Ye Shu didn't seem to care about their silence.

The voice continued, "I have noticed your concern for the royal family, so I would like to thank you all on behalf of my brother."

Unexpectedly, her first words were to thank them, which made the ministers who had been aggressive just now feel a little embarrassed.

"but--"

Ye Shu quickly changed her tone and scanned the people present with a sharp gaze, "I have said before that for those unnecessary rumors, I ask all the ministers to carefully distinguish them."

"Just like when this princess returned to the capital, weren't there enough rumors about me in the imperial city? But everyone, do you believe them?"

"This... Your Highness... Aren't you making things difficult for us? How can she and Your Highness have the same opinion?"

"Why not? Just because you risked everything to bring back the secret letter despite being seriously injured? So you saved Dongli from a disaster?"

The ministers continued to remain silent, and it was obvious that this was what they were thinking in their hearts.

Seeing this, Ye Shu suddenly laughed, "So I made contributions to Dongli back then, and you respect me, but Xier... is she worse than me?"

"Have you all forgotten? It was Xier who discovered the last plague! She risked her life to go to the plague area and saved everyone.

If it weren't for her, you and your relatives and families would have passed away long ago! Reincarnated!" "And now, this is how you treat your benefactor? You want to kill her just because of some unfounded rumors?"

"You said you wanted to use her innocence as an excuse. My husband, Huanlang, is from a foreign country. So, you want to execute me, a traitor, as well?"

After these words were spoken, everyone present lowered their heads even lower. Even Emperor Dongli, who was lying on the couch at this moment, had an expression of heartache and guilt on his face.

"It's all my fault for being useless." If he could be a little more powerful, my little sister wouldn't have to come here in person today.

He even exposed his own scars in order to protect Xier.

What happened back then was a pain in his heart, and also a pain in the hearts of all Dongli people.

That year coincided with the transition of imperial power. The internal court was unstable and the government and the public were in turmoil. Life was difficult for both them and the common people.

At this time, foreign countries also received news from somewhere and began to make moves.

In order to appease the barbarians, they had no choice but to embark on the path of marriage. At that time, no princess in the palace was willing to do so, except Ye Shu, his youngest sister, who took the initiative to step forward.

When the marriage began, the foreign country asked Dongli to send an envoy to escort the princess there for the marriage, but they themselves were unwilling to send anyone to pick her up!
This is a shame for the entire Dongli!

It's a pity that his words were insignificant at that time. As an unpopular prince, the then Emperor Dongli would not listen to him at all. He could only watch the marriage team taking his sister away.

Even when he recalls it now, he can still remember the scene clearly.

But what made them most angry was that those people did not keep their promise! Their purpose was not to marry a princess, but to get a princess of Dongli as a hostage!
It would be best if Dongli could be threatened. If not, sending a princess as a hostage would also deal the greatest blow to Dongli's morale.

No matter how you look at it, this is a sure win business!

At this critical moment, Emperor Dongli couldn't help but look at Ye Shu again, with an extremely complicated expression.

He really couldn't understand how she could have such courage when she was just a little girl.

Noticing the sympathetic or guilty looks from those around her, Ye Shu's expression did not change at all, and she remained as steadfast as ever.

What happened back then might be the most painful memory in her life, but she is not the kind of person who can't get out of the memory by being immersed in it!
If she was this kind of person, she would have been immersed in memories, complaining about herself, and followed her lover all these years!

That year, she was on her way to get married, and ever since she accidentally heard their intention, she had been thinking about passing the news back to Dongli.

However, she didn't expect that when she was looking for the people around her, all the people around her had been controlled by the other party, and she was discovered by the other party at that time.

The other party had no idea what she knew, so they could only arrest her and torture her!
It was at this time that she unexpectedly learned that these people actually had the defense layout map of their Dongli Palace!
In this situation, just when she thought she was doomed, she didn't expect him to appear.

Her Huanlang is also the youngest child of the foreign leader. His mother is from Dongli. Under the influence of his mother, he has never been as competitive as his brother since he was a child.

In addition, he was weak and was disliked by his father since birth, so it was impossible for him to become the leader of a foreign country.

So he indulged himself in mountains and rivers, traveled to Dongli and met Ye Shu here.

The two of them were in love and liked each other, but unfortunately it didn't last long, as he soon received news that she was going to marry a foreign prince.
