chapter 6 The Crown Princess whose engagement was broken off (6)

Father and daughter whispered loudly and conspired to end it. Lilith Jin let Serena Xia support her as they left the room.

Tom Gu and the servants and guards of the Gu family were standing at the door in opposition to the people sent by the queen.

Just now, it was unclear what Tom Gu said. The eunuch Wang was busy apologizing and explaining, saying that the queen was genuinely concerned about the health of the Crown Princess. He said that they were acting on orders.

As soon as Lilith Jin appeared, Eunuch Wang immediately looked relieved.

"Crown Princess, I am here on the orders of the Queen to greet you..."

"Gonggong (a term of respect for eunuchs), you are mistaken. His Highness the Crown Prince and I have already called off the engagement. I am no longer the Crown Princess. This title is no longer appropriate," Lilith Jin said lightly.

Eunuch Wang: "..."

His face stiffened for a moment, but he quickly smiled and said, "Please don't jest with me. Your engagement to the Crown Prince was granted by His Majesty. How can it be called off... canceled just like that? There is a deep bond between you and His Highness. How can you hold a grudge over an unintentional remark? Before leaving the palace today, the Queen specifically instructed me that if you were in good health, you should be brought back to the palace for a few days. His Highness the Crown Prince regrets what happened, and the Queen will give you an explanation!"

Lilith Jin patiently listened to him before sighing with regret, "Gonggong, it was the Crown Prince who went against the imperial edict to cancel the engagement. I, a humble woman, don't seek justice for myself, but I can't bear to see the Crown Prince belittle my Gu family. Even if I give up the title of Crown Princess, I can't let my family be humiliated because of me!"

Eunuch Wang anxiously wanted to speak, but Lilith Jin continued, "Please convey my thanks to the Queen for her kindness, but I don't want to trouble her. As His Highness said, let's just put an end to this marriage!"

"Crown Princess, this matter is of great importance, please don't act rashly!" Eunuch Wang urged.

Lilith Jin lowered her head slightly, her long lashes hiding the coldness in her eyes.

Eunuch Wang only saw Lilith Jin with lowered brows, looking sorrowful.

The Queen had said that women are sentimental and resolute, and they won't change their minds because of a man's mistake. It seemed to be true!

The Crown Princess still couldn't let go of the Crown Prince!

Eunuch Wang instantly felt more assured.

As he continued to persuade Lilith Jin, he appeared more confident and no longer as submissive as before. He even went so far as to speak in favor of the Crown Prince, saying that many men have multiple wives and concubines, let alone a Crown Prince, and how the Crown Princess, when she was in her maiden home, was doted upon and didn't care, but once she entered the palace, she would naturally have to follow the Confucian virtues...

Tom Gu, who had been silent since receiving his sister's signal, was now getting angry as Eunuch Wang continued to praise the Crown Prince.

He was about to speak out when he saw Lilith Jin suddenly sway.

"Sister!"

Tom Gu anxiously called out and caught Lilith Jin as she fell.

Lilith Jin covered her mouth with a handkerchief and began to cough violently.

The little remaining color in her face quickly faded, leaving her as pale as snow.

Eunuch Wang was in the middle of his speech when he saw Lilith Jin's condition and was suddenly startled.

"What's happening? She was fine just a moment ago..."

Before he could finish speaking, a voice behind him sent chills down his spine.

"Wang Gonggong, when you came here this time, were you following the Queen's orders to comfort my sister, or were you following the Crown Prince's orders to humiliate my Gu family?"
