Concubine Shu chuckled, her eyes full of contempt and pride, as if she was certain that the palace was now her world.
What kind of trouble can a princess who has fallen from power cause?
However, Yuan Zhao just looked at her quietly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised in a cold smile, his voice cold and each word as cold as ice:
"very good……"
She slowly looked around, her eyes deep as they fell on the furnishings that were turned into a mess.
The items that my mother and the queen had bought with her own hands were now scattered on the ground.
The broken porcelain, torn curtains, and the mess on the ground are like trampled memories that can never be put back to their former state.
These things have been carefully preserved for many years, and my father and brother are reluctant to destroy them at all.
Their presence is like the Queen Mother's presence.
It was as if the Queen Mother... would suddenly appear from somewhere in Changchun Palace...
Her fingertips tightened slightly and her fists were clenched tightly, as if trying to suppress the anger surging in her heart.
But she said nothing in the end. She just turned around suddenly and strode out, her sleeves fluttering, her momentum fierce, her voice like a sharp blade.
"Gan Tang, Bi Yun, follow this princess!"
Gan Tang and Biyun looked at each other and hurried to follow, not knowing what Yuan Zhao was going to do.
Inside Changchun Palace, everyone looked at her back without hesitation, and no one dared to move for a moment.
Even Concubine Shu and Aunt Zhao were slightly startled.
She was clearly furious and imposing just now, but in the blink of an eye she said nothing and just... left?
Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, then sneered, her eyes full of ridicule.
"Yuan Zhao, ah Yuan Zhao, it's nothing more than that."
She raised her chin, her eyes full of disdain, and gently brushed her wide sleeves.
Everything that just happened seemed like a harmless farce.
…
Outside the palace gate, the cold wind, carrying a sense of solemnity, lifted Yuan Zhao's clothes, making them rustle.
She boarded the sedan chair, her brows frosted with coldness.
Gan Tang knew something was wrong and asked in a low voice,
"Your Highness...where are we going?"
Yuan Zhao lowered his eyes, clenched his fingers, and after a long while, he gritted his teeth and spat out three words -
"Lin, Hua, Dian!"
When Gan Tang heard this, his heart skipped a beat and his expression changed instantly.
She looked up in horror at her own princess, her throat pounding, but ultimately unable to dissuade her.
Instead, he came back to his senses in an instant and ordered,
"Quick! Go to Linhua Palace!"
The sedan bearers were frightened by this sudden change, but they dared not say anything and could only quicken their pace.
Changchun Palace and Linhua Palace, one in the east and the other in the west, are separated by a huge palace city and have never interfered with each other.
Yuan Zhao sat in the sedan chair, tapping the armrests with his fingers. Although there was no anger on his face, the calmer he looked, the more frightened Gan Tang and Biyun became.
They knew that His Highness was truly angry.
In front of the Linhua Palace, the palace guards were stunned when they saw the princess suddenly arrive. They were at a loss and hurried forward to stop her.
"Your Highness, the Queen is not in the palace at the moment. If Your Highness wishes to see her, please—"
"Get lost."
Yuan Zhao raised his hand, and Biyun stepped forward, stopped the palace maid with a cold face, and pushed her aside.
Screams were heard everywhere, and the palace servants at the palace gate all looked terrified. They looked at Yuan Zhao standing in front of the main hall and subconsciously stepped back.
She slowly raised her eyes and glanced around, her gaze as cold as the night.
Twenty years.
She hadn't set foot in this palace for almost twenty years.
In the past, for Yuan Heng's sake, she always avoided Concubine Shu whenever possible, not wanting to cause any trouble.
Even though she always knew what Concubine Shu was thinking about her mother, she always maintained a superficial peace.
But today, Changchun Palace has been turned upside down, and all the bits and pieces left by her mother have been trampled upon and defiled, and she can only watch helplessly?
She has endured it for twenty years, and she can't swallow this today!
"Gan Tang." Her voice was not loud, but it was filled with a heart-pounding chill.
Gan Tang immediately responded, "Your Highness!"
Yuan Zhao lowered his eyes, raised his finger, and spoke in a calm and cold tone.
"Smash it for this princess!"
As soon as the words fell, Gan Tang and Bi Yun exchanged a glance, immediately accepted the order, and waved their hands -
“Smash it!”
A palace maid sensed something was wrong and immediately slipped out to look for Concubine Shu.
Yuan Zhao did not let anyone stop her. She would let Concubine Shu come and see for herself.
Under the cover of night, Linhua Palace was suddenly in chaos, with screams, the sound of breaking wood, and the cries of the palace servants in front of the palace echoing in an intertwined manner.
"Your Highness the Princess—how could you, how could you…" The palace servants guarding the palace gate were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they stepped back repeatedly.
However, Fushan and others waved the rulers and sticks in front of the hall and smashed over all the carved screens and jade ornaments in the front hall of Linhua Hall.
"Bang--"
A screen with a brocade and golden dragon carving on it fell down with a loud noise, sending up flying dust all over the ground. A bronze furnace inlaid with gems next to it rolled to the ground and broke into several pieces.
"stop!!"
A sharp shout came from outside, accompanied by hurried footsteps.
“Who dares to be so presumptuous?!”
Yuan Zhao was standing on the steps in front of the hall. When he heard the voice, he slowly raised his eyes and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The next moment, Concubine Shu walked in from outside the hall angrily, surrounded by people.
She was wearing an elegant phoenix robe, which shone brightly in the flickering candlelight. However, at this moment, her face looked extremely ugly.
She glanced at the messy hall, her chest almost heaving with anger, she was furious.
"Yuan Zhao! Are you crazy?! This is my bedroom! How dare you be so presumptuous!"
Yuan Zhao looked at her quietly, still with a faint smile on his face, but there was a bone-chilling coldness in his eyes.
"presumptuous?"
She repeated it softly, then her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she slowly walked down the stairs, pressing forward step by step.
"My Lady, you raided my mother's Changchun Palace, so why can't I touch your Linhua Palace?"
Her tone was neither hurried nor slow, and with every word she spoke, Concubine Shu's expression grew uglier.
"Even the floor tiles of this princess mother's palace have been turned over. How presumptuous!"
Yuan Zhao walked up to her, looked down at her, parted his red lips, and spoke softly.
"Your Highness, it's just tit for tat, tit for tat."
"you!"
Concubine Shu was so angry that she was shaking all over. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Yuan Zhao tilt his head and said lightly,
"Gantang, continue."
"yes!"
Gan Tang took the order and raised his hand. The attendant beside him immediately swung up a stick and smashed it hard at the jade table beside him!
“Crack—”
The jade table shattered into pieces, and the fragments scattered all over the ground, as sharp as a thunderbolt!
"Yuan Zhao!!!"
