Shangguan Shu turned around and looked at her in confusion.
Zhao Yao was unable to speak and said, "My mother was banished to the cold palace because she offended Sister Ying. My father has already ordered that I be released from the palace on a chosen day..."
"You know I don't have a house in Beijing, and Jinghui Temple burned down..."
Zhao Yao looked at him hopefully. "If you don't want me to live in your Xi Garden and you're worried about what people will say, then Sister Ying's Gan Garden is vacant. I can..."
"no!"
Shangguan Shu decisively rejected it, his brows furrowed and his face gloomy.
When Zhao Yao heard this, she blushed for a moment, and then she resented Zhao Ying even more.
This is Zhao Ying's method, right?
Now that she's gone, won't Shangguan Shu miss her even more?
Bitch!
Shangguan Shu was silent for a long moment, then said calmly, "Don't worry. I will ask His Majesty to forgive your mother, and... I will also bring up the matter of Xue'er being crowned a princess again."
Zhao Yao's eyes lit up when she heard that.
She thought that Shangguan Shu still cared about her. He must have been furious last time because he knew she had killed his child, so he treated her like that!
She didn't believe that Shangguan Shu had no feelings for her after all these years!
As long as she has this, she has the confidence to win his heart back!
Not only was Zhao Yao happy, but Hu Yanxue also calmed down after hearing this. She looked at Shangguan Shu lovingly, and her emotions were moved again...
"Then I would like to thank Runlang first..."
Shangguan Shu didn't answer and left without looking back.
Shangguan Shu walked slowly to Gan Garden.
Several maids and servants were packing up things to send to the princess's mansion.
Shangguan Shu withdrew the people and looked at the empty and familiar house.
In my heart, I suddenly felt a freezing rain.
After going around in circles, everything is back to the starting point.
But his heart seemed unable to return.
Shangguan Shu found a random chair and sat down, tilted his head back, and covered his eyes with the back of his hand.
Zhao Ying... Zhao Ying...
Don't lie to me...don't lie to me...
Shangguan Shu suddenly stood up, went to the study, and called the secret guard.
"What's the matter, Master?"
Shangguan Shu handed him a secret letter and said, "Send it to General Huang as fast as you can."
"yes!"
As soon as the secret guard left, a notification came from the door.
"General Wei Fu has arrived!"
Shangguan Shu narrowed his eyes. Wei Fu, what is he doing here?
When Shangguan Shu arrived, Steward Qian was dealing with Wei Fu and several other generals. Steward Qian wanted them to wait in the hall, but Wei Fu waved his hand, "No need! Who wants to enter your humble abode?"
Butler Qian: ...
Shangguan Shu changed into a moon-white robe with blue and white patterns, a belt of the same color with a gold-threaded thundercloud pattern, and a towering green jade crown. He looked like a god under the clear wind and bright moon. He walked slowly with one hand behind his back. His sharp eyes swept over Wei Fu, and when he saw his face that had been weathered and had not yet recovered, his heart sank.
Then he smiled faintly and asked, "General Wei, what brings you here?"
Wei Fu snorted disdainfully, secretly cursing "slutty peacock" in his heart, then he straightened up and took out the imperial edict, "Your Majesty has a decree!"
Shangguan Shu and everyone else knelt down to receive the order.
Wei Fu said in a clear voice: "The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims that the Tibetan hostage is humble and intelligent, and is regarded as a distinguished guest of our Great Chu. I hereby order Shangguan Aiqing to admonish and comfort him, and I have fulfilled my duty as a host!"
Shangguan Shu was puzzled, but still accepted the order.
Standing up, a handsome young man from a foreign tribe walked towards him and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help, Prince."
Shangguan Shu thought about it for a moment and knew that the young man in front of him was probably the Tibetan hostage mentioned in the imperial edict.
Shangguan Shu exchanged a few pleasantries, then asked Butler Qian to arrange accommodation for him. Butler Qian left with the imperial edict and Jiang Cheng.
Shangguan Shu's amiable face suddenly turned cold, and he glanced at Wei Fu calmly, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Wei Fu raised an eyebrow, "I heard that you divorced my sister Ying?"
Shangguan Shu's eyes widened with anger, and he shouted in a deep voice, "What does our affair have to do with you? Besides, we are only getting divorced."
Wei Fu sneered, "It's all the same..."
"Everything is the same?!"
Wei Fu ignored him and asked calmly, "So... is Princess Huai'an really here with you?"
Shangguan Shu didn't answer.
That's the default.
Wei Fu nodded expressionlessly, then quietly ordered the generals behind him: "Brothers, smash it!"
"good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of big men rolled up their sleeves and were about to smash it. Shangguan Shu shouted, "How dare you!"
The generals stopped for a moment and looked at Wei Fu.
Shangguan Shu sneered, his eyes flashing with anger. "Wei Fu, are you crazy? You want to destroy my Zhenguo Mansion? Do you think your military merits are a golden ticket to immunity from death?!"
Wei Fu was no match for him, gnashing his teeth in anger, "I don't know if I'll be killed or not, but if this gets out of hand, Sister Ying will plead for me!"
Shangguan Shu stiffened when he heard this.
I felt so much hatred in my heart.
Wei Fu knows how to poke people where it hurts with his mouth!
He says whatever he hates to hear the most.
Shangguan Shu's composure and dignity collapsed instantly. He stepped forward, grabbed Wei Fu's collar, forced a smile into his ear, and threatened through gritted teeth, "Are you looking for death?"
Wei Fu stared at him for a long moment, then suddenly chuckled and challenged him, "Why would I seek death? I've been waiting for more than ten years, and finally I've been waiting for you to be separated. How could I bear to die?"
Shangguan Shu clenched his fists and the faint smile on his lips faded.
A chill spread throughout his body, and his eyes flashed with silent murderous intent.
He slowly loosened his grip, and Wei Fu, sensing his sanity returning, suddenly grabbed his hand back.
Continue to provoke.
"You've never been a good match for Yingmei. You don't understand her, and you don't know her! I'm the only one in the world who understands her best!"
"Shangguan Shu, today His Majesty asked me what I want. Guess I will exchange it for my military merits..." Wei Fu's eyes and eyebrows were full of malice.
Although Shangguan Shu tried hard to tell himself that Wei Fu was provoking him... Over the years, he had suffered a lot from Wei Fu and had been tricked by Wei Fu with his despicable tricks. He hated him deeply and at this moment, he even wanted to skin him to pieces.
What will he ask for?
Asking for a marriage?
Shangguan Shu was out of breath and his vision went dark. He regained his composure, waved his hand away, and kicked Wei Fu hard in the abdomen.
The generals exclaimed at the sight.
Wei Fu, a tough guy, fell to the ground like a paper man.
He even vomited blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Wei Fu, do you dare to ask for one and try?!"
Just as Shangguan Shu finished speaking, there was a commotion at the door, which sounded like the arrival of a royal procession.
Shangguan Shu's heart sank.
Wei Fu laughed softly, and the blood at the corner of his mouth added a bit of evil charm to him.
Soon, the eunuch's shrill cry pierced the night.
"Princess Chengqian has arrived!"
Wei Fu looked at Shangguan Shu, his eyes full of pride.
"I didn't expect Sister Ying to arrive so timely!"
"Is this my good fortune?"
