Shangguan Xu was a rather thick-skinned man, but even he could see that Chen He'an's forcible dragging of the sick Lu Jinshu over at this moment clearly had ill intentions. "Chen He'an, you and Jin'an are both third-rank Sijuns, neither of you is superior to the other. Jin'an is ill, and he should have stayed in his own courtyard to rest. How could you force a sick man like him to come here?"
Chen Hean didn't give Shangguan Xu any face at all and said with a smile, "Lu Xianjun has been ill for several days. Every time I invite everyone to Yaofang Palace, he is the only one who says he is too sick to get out of bed. Your Excellency, please don't be so excited. I am just concerned about Lu Xianjun."
Ever since Shangguan Xu married into the Eastern Palace, even Ling Shumo had never given him a cold shoulder. Now, he was being humiliated by a mere Chen Hean. He was so angry that he stood up and said, "Chen Hean, I order you to get your people back right now. If you dare to disturb Jin An's rest, I will not let you off easily."
Chen Hean simply ignored Shangguan Xu and took a cup of fresh tea from the servant, looking relaxed and contented.
Shangguan Xu walked straight forward and snatched away Shen He'an's teacup. It was not enough for him to turn the cup upside down on Shen He'an's head. He picked up the teapot beside him and poured all the tea on Shen He'an's head. In an instant, Shen He'an was soaked like a drowned chicken.
Shen Hean was stunned. He had never expected Shangguan Xu to be so rude.
Shangguan Xu took advantage of his moment of daze and slapped him twice. "Bitch, if you dare to force Jin An to come to your Yaofang Palace despite his illness, I will beat you to death before Jin An comes. Once you're dead, you'll have nowhere to go."
Chen He'an pushed Shangguan Xu hard, but he was a nobleman who had been raised in seclusion since childhood and was delicate and frail. Before Shangguan Xu married into the Eastern Palace, he had been riding on horseback all year round and running around with his sister. Shen He'an could not get rid of Shangguan Xu at all and was slapped several times in the face.
Chen Hean was so panicked that her voice broke. "Tingyu, what are you guys still standing there for? Hurry up and help me pull that crazy man Shangguan Xu away."
Several attendants from Yaofang Palace hurried forward to separate them, but Shangguan Xu grabbed Shen He'an's hair. The strength in his hand was so great that he pulled out a bunch of black hair. A piece of pink scalp was instantly exposed on the top of Shen He'an's head, which was so ugly that Shen He'an collapsed.
Chen Hean didn't want to hide anymore, he stepped forward and started to scratch Shangguan Xu's face. In an instant, many blood marks appeared on Shangguan Xu's cheeks and neck.
The current scene was extremely chaotic. After a brief moment of daze, Si Jiangzhi's eyes showed a deep smile.
Let it be a mess, it would be best if it could be a complete mess.
He will submit a letter to Fengyi Palace to pay a visit to the Queen tomorrow. When the Queen knows what happened today, it will be difficult for Shen Hean to become a Crown Princess, let alone a Crown Princess Consort.
Shen Hean was just angry, but he quickly calmed down.
Whether he can be promoted depends on the few months that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has been away from the palace. He can no longer compete with Shangguan Xu for a momentary pride, as that will only give Si Jiangzhi an advantage.
Shangguan Xu was quickly restrained by the Yaofang Palace attendants, but his mouth remained open. "Chen Hean, you bitch! When Her Highness returns from Dingzhou, I'll beg Her Highness to banish you to the cold palace. You'll just have to rot in the mud for the rest of your life."
Chen Hean pressed his fingers on his bald scalp. The pink scalp was about two fingers away. With such gentle pressure, a few blood beads were squeezed out, wetting a few hairs.
Hatred surged in his heart, but Chen Hean did not curse back at Shangguan Xu. Instead, he asked his servants to immediately ask everyone to leave Yaofang Palace.
The imperial physician who had been waiting in the side hall was called in. Shen Hean asked in a panic, "Can my hair still grow back?"
The imperial physician examined Shen Hean's wound and replied respectfully, "Prince Liangjun, this is only a minor abrasion. It hasn't completely damaged the hair follicles. Apply the medicine for eleven or twelve days at most, and new hair roots will begin to sprout."
Chen Hean breathed a sigh of relief, asked Tingyu to stuff a generous purse into the imperial physician's pocket, and then politely asked the person to leave.
When Tingyu came back, Chen He'an was applying medicine on his scalp. After seeing the crazy and distorted expression on Chen He'an's face, Tingyu couldn't help but shiver violently.
Ever since the young master married into the Eastern Palace, he felt that the young master was different from before.
In the past, the young master would allow the general and his wife to beat and scold him, never resisting and always seriously reflecting on his mistakes. However, now, the young master completely disregards his mother and father, whom he once respected.
He had been oppressed to the breaking point by the outside world, and all the grievances he had endured had rebounded and burst out.
The young master had Yaofang Palace renovated extensively, completely ignoring the fact that others might think he was extravagant.
He now had the right to temporarily take charge of the rear house, so he didn't even take Shangguan Xu, who had a prominent family background, seriously.
Everything has its limits. Chen Hean no longer wants to be suppressed by anyone. He used to live cautiously, but now he can't stand anyone's disobedience. He only cares about his own happiness and doesn't want to care about anything else.
Tingyu only felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.
His sixth sense told him that something bad was about to happen.
And it’s definitely a big deal.
It could ruin Shen Hean's big plan.
…
Shen Hean rested in his yard for three days.
During this period, Si Jiangzhi wanted to go to the palace to complain to the Queen, but without Shen Hean's consent, he could not even leave the second gate of the East Palace.
After Si Jiangzhi returned to his courtyard along the same route, Shen Hean went to Songzhu Hall to find him and mocked Si Jiangzhi without any embellishment.
Si Jiangzhi felt that he was so angry that the blood in his body was about to flow backwards, but he had no way to deal with Shen Hean's excessive behavior.
Now, Shen Hean has absolute control over the East Palace. With Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess not in the East Palace, he doesn't even have anyone to complain to about his grievances.
