Chapter 1310: Jiang Ying and I Are Not Getting Married Anymore
Therefore, after Jiang Ying’s carriage left the imperial palace, it did not head towards her home.
Instead, it went straight to the ferry dock.
Following not far behind, Prince Qing furrowed his brow slightly.
"Not going home, where is she planning to go? Follow her and see."
Thus, after a hurried journey, Prince Qing saw Jiang Ying’s carriage stop at the ferry dock.
In an instant, his expression was cold and severe.
After Jiang Ying got off the carriage, she and her two maids searched around.
Finally, among the countless people in line, she saw the figures of Song Yucheng and his attendant student.
"Song Yucheng!" Jiang Ying almost got pushed into the river by the crowd several times.
Song Yucheng didn’t expect Jiang Ying to come; his originally desolate face was full of joy.
"Cousin!" He hurriedly pushed through the crowd to come over.
When Jiang Ying was almost about to fall into the water, he grabbed her wrist and didn’t let go.
"Cousin, I knew you wouldn’t be so heartless!"
But Jiang Ying actively withdrew her hand.
"You can’t leave yet, because... oh, come back to the house with me first!"
"Give me a few more days, I will definitely give an explanation for your past feelings!"
Song Yucheng was puzzled: "You? Cousin, isn’t it us?"
Jiang Ying shook her head: "It’s complicated to explain, once things are resolved, I will explain everything to you properly."
Although she didn’t make it clear, her presence was enough to soften Song Yucheng’s heart.
He agreed to go with her.
However, as they turned around, they saw Prince Qing on horseback not far away.
Jiang Ying’s mouth twitched slightly.
Why had such a scene occurred a second time!?
Now Bai Beirang’s expression was colder than it had been the night before.
He obviously assumed Jiang Ying had rekindled her old feelings for Song Yucheng.
Jiang Ying opened her mouth, just about to call him.
However, Prince Qing turned his horse around and, with his guards, galloped away.
Song Yucheng was slightly worried at the side: "Cousin, will the Prince take his anger out on you?"
Jiang Ying rubbed her temples, very troubled: "I don’t know... but, I can’t worry about that now."
Prince Qing didn’t go elsewhere; he headed straight to the imperial palace and hurried into the Imperial Study Room.
After seeking audience with Bai Xilie, his first words were: "Imperial Brother, rescind the decree, Jiang Ying and I will not marry."
Bai Xilie’s hand paused while he was reviewing the memorials.
He looked up, his gaze stern: "What are you up to again? One moment you want the imperial marriage, the next you don’t. Do you take my imperial decree as a game?!"
Prince Qing’s expression was extremely cold: "This time it’s not that I am unwilling to marry, but that her heart favors another."
"I originally thought she didn’t want to get married, so I came up with a plan to let her feign an engagement with me until that person left, then lift the decree."
"But now it seems unnecessary. They’ve rekindled their relationship, so why should I destroy their love?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Xilie finally understood that the so-called proposal was actually a farce!
He immediately flung away his imperial brush: "Nonsense!"
Bai Xilie sternly reprimanded: "Marriage is a major event, how could it be just a verbal agreement between you?"
"Today you want to marry, tomorrow you don’t. How can my imperial decree change morning and night, and how can I maintain authority over the realm!"
"To rescind the decree is possible, but Jiang Ying must be taught a lesson!"
Prince Qing raised his head and said: "Imperial Brother! Whatever problem, I will bear the responsibility, it has nothing to do with her!"
Bai Xilie let out a cold laugh: "In a hurry now? Where were you earlier?"
"With such courage, wouldn’t you have pursued her properly? In any case, I will not immediately issue a decree; you are to go back and reconsider for three days. If after three days, you still think so, I will do as you wish!"
