The guards were so frightened that they quickly let go of their hands.
Emperor Jianxi frowned deeply, as if he had not expected Shangguan Shu to be so...decisive.
He was just testing Shangguan Shu. If he agreed, or even had a hint of hesitation, it would prove that Cheng Qian was right, and that he and Huai'an had an affair.
In this case, he would not be able to keep him!
But now...
Emperor Jianxi frowned tightly.
Shangguan Shu spat out the bloody finger bones mixed with blood foam.
He looked at Emperor Jianxi with a smile in his eyes, as if he was pleased with himself. He had come up with such a wonderful way to disobey the emperor's order...
The prince shook his head and murmured, "He's crazy..."
Zhao Yao burst into tears and fell against the door frame.
She had already been outside the palace when she heard Shangguan Shu's vehement rejection from inside, "I will not divorce!"
After witnessing it, I understood everything.
He did it all for Zhao Ying...
Zhao Ying pretended nothing happened and looked away.
She doesn't feel bad...

Zhao Ying swallowed the bitter taste in her throat, ignoring the lingering affection in Shangguan Shuning's eyes as she walked to the front of the hall. "Father, open the box!"
Emperor Jianxi nodded and said to Shangguan Shu, "Since you don't want to, I won't force you. It would be a waste of your father's efforts."
The old Duke burst into tears.
Looking at Shangguan Shu's current appearance, he felt distressed but did not dare to plead for mercy anymore.
The same is true for Concubine Rong.
What a great sin this is...
Shangguan Shu remained silent.
The guards came forward and opened the boxes one by one.
Then search one by one.
Everyone's heart was lifted with the actions of the guards.
Until a guard felt inside the box and said, "Found it!"
Zhao Yao's face turned pale and she fainted from fright.
The guard then pulled out the clothes.
The next second, everyone's eyes froze.
Zhao Ying couldn't believe it: "How..."
Shangguan Shu lowered his head, and when he heard the voice, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a smile lasted for a long time.
