"If the Emperor and the other officials knew that General Wei, who had just made great contributions, had been humiliated for no reason, I believe that by then, an apology alone would not be enough to solve the problem."
Zhao Yao's eyes tightened and she felt a little weak, but Shangguan Shu was here. This was a great opportunity. She could show her goodwill to Shangguan Shu and let Shangguan Shu see Zhao Ying's true face. She couldn't give up easily.
Zhao Yao then said nonchalantly, "Is your cousin from the Wei family the only one in Great Chu who has fought and achieved military success? Prince Shangguan is a master of battle, even more valiant and formidable than him. General Wei has just returned victorious, and he's already here to provoke us. Could it be that he's been harboring ambitions of usurping power and replacing us?"
Zhao Ying raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "If that's the case, then I'll go tell my father and see what he decides."
Zhao Ying said and turned around.
Zhao Yao spoke nonchalantly from behind, "Okay, since we've already said it, why not let Father know too? Thirty-one years ago, Kunning Palace..."
Zhao Ying turned around, his cold eyes like knives shooting towards Zhao Yao.
The corners of Zhao Yao's lips curled up slightly.
His eyes were full of provocation, as if saying, go ahead and complain, go ahead if you have the guts.
Wei Fu saw that Zhao Ying was inexplicably at a disadvantage. Although he couldn't figure out the reason, the most urgent thing now was to give her a way out.
Wei Fu coughed lightly, "Two princesses..."
“Bang!”
A crisp sound shook everyone's eardrums.
Everyone looked over and saw Zhao Yao covering her face and glaring at Zhao Ying angrily.
Zhao Ying slowly withdrew her slender hand from mid-air.
Zhao Ying beat Zhao Yao!
The generals lowered their heads and dared not look again.
Zhao Yao gritted her teeth and said, "You dare to hit me?!"
Zhao Ying's lips curled slightly, and she raised her chin slightly, her expression showing a hint of arrogance. "Hit you?"
Zhao Ying's gaze fell on the faces of the people present one by one.
"Princess Huai'an said that I beat her. Did anyone see it?"
"Stand up for me!"
As soon as the cold and fierce words fell, the generals wished they could gouge out their eyes and buried their heads in their chests.
Obviously, they would not offend Princess Chengqian for a mere Princess Huai'an, and the palace maids brought by Zhao Ying would certainly not do so.
In the end, only Shangguan Shu and Wei Fu were left.
Wei Fu naturally didn't think about it and lied with his eyes open, "I didn't see it."
Zhao Ying looked at Zhao Yao with interest.
Zhao Yao was shaking with anger. Zhao Ying was sure that she would not tell the secret that she was a bastard just because of a slap. It was not worth it, so he dared to beat her wantonly, relying on the fact that they were in numbers to bully her because she was isolated and helpless!
Zhao Yao gritted her teeth, "You..."
"I saw it."
Zhao Ying was startled and his eyes fell on the face of the owner of the voice.
Shangguan Shu stared at her, his eyes full of sarcasm and accusation.
Zhao Yao was delighted and called out, "Runlang..."
Shangguan Shu seemed not to hear, his eyes were only on Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying tightened her hands that were hanging at her sides.
After a while, he asked calmly, "What did you see?"
Shangguan Shu walked towards her, grabbed her wrist, and raised it to his eyes, smiling coldly, "I saw Your Highness hit Princess Huai'an with this hand. Is that enough?"
Zhao Ying pursed her lips and pulled her wrist out forcefully.
Shangguan Shu's eyes were dim, and they became even darker when he saw this.
Their eyes met in the air for a moment...
Suddenly, Zhao Ying sneered, raised his hand, and slapped Shangguan Shu again.
Shangguan Shu's face suddenly tilted to the side. He turned back slowly in disbelief, his brows twisted into a knot, his eyes blazing with rage, as ferocious as a jackal...
Zhao Yao was furious, "Are you crazy?"
Zhao Ying smiled softly, "If that's the case, then you two can be witnesses against each other and go to the Emperor to file a complaint against me!"
After saying that, Zhao Ying walked past the two of them and headed towards Gan Garden.
Zhao Yao looked at Shangguan Shu's face with heartache. Just as she was about to touch it with her fingers, Shangguan Shu waved her hand away and ran towards Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying had only taken a few steps when someone grabbed her wrist from behind.
Fuchun exclaimed, "Shangguan Prince, you are so bold..."
Shangguan Shu ignored the others and instead looked down at Zhao Ying, emitting suppressed anger. He laughed in anger, exuding a sinister aura. "Zhao Ying, you're happy now! Your idiotic cousin is finally back." He pulled Zhao Ying in front of him, his warm breath spraying on her face. He demanded, "What are you going to do with him?"
Zhao Ying's face was as cold as ice, and her eyes were calm. "This has nothing to do with you!"
"Zhao Ying!"
Shangguan Shu was furious and helpless, his tone was unwilling and aggrieved, "What did you promise me during the day?"
"You said you only care about me!!"
"Why did you side with Wei Fu just now?!"
Shangguan Shu felt that the flames of jealousy were about to burn him to ashes.
Zhao Ying sighed and tried to free her wrist from Shangguan Shu's grip, but Shangguan Shu held it tighter. Zhao Ying was annoyed and said, "Let go!"
"I won't let go!"
As stubborn as a child.
Zhao Ying couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say last time that he was my biological brother? If that's the case, then why are you so mad?"
Shangguan Shu was stunned when he heard this and was unable to refute.
That's right, he said that.
But he did it entirely to make Zhao Ying give up her thoughts on Wei Fu.
How could Wei Fu be her biological brother!
Shangguan Shu suddenly felt that he had been hit in the foot by the stone he had moved.
Seeing that Shangguan Shu was no longer so excited, Zhao Ying said slowly, "You can let go now."
Shangguan Shu blinked, then moved closer to her and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Then answer me first. Are you only attracted to me? Are you not lying to me? Will you come back?"
