Now that he sees how ruthless the Crown Princess is, how could he possibly be polite?
If an ordinary person were to be flogged a hundred times, how could they possibly survive? Even a cultivator would be severely injured, if not killed, because by then the one who struck you would also be a cultivator.
Zu'an then said coldly, "The Crown Prince is so old now, doesn't he even have the right to befriend whomever he wants and to learn from whomever he wants? You, as his wife, are being far too nosy. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the Crown Prince and he was just a son-in-law who married into your family."
Bi Linglong's expression changed slightly. How could she dare to agree to such hurtful words? If they were to reach the ears of someone with ulterior motives, it would be a huge problem. She quickly bowed to Zhao Ruizhi and said, "Your Highness, I am only worried that you are too honest and might be deceived by others. I have no other intentions."
Zhao Ruizhi was completely unaware of the verbal sparring between the two and cheerfully said, "It's nothing, it's nothing."
When he saw the Crown Princess bowing to him, he instinctively wanted to go over and help her up.
However, Bi Linglong got up first. Although most people thought that the Crown Prince helped her up, Zu An, who was very close by, noticed that the two did not touch each other at all.
A hint of amusement flashed across his face; the relationship between this couple was rather interesting.
He coughed lightly and continued, "Does the Crown Princess mean that the Crown Prince is stupid and lacks even this basic ability to discern right from wrong?"
Upon hearing his words, everyone else's expressions changed drastically. The fact that the Crown Prince was stupid had become an unspeakable secret, and everyone kept it a closely guarded secret, with no one daring to mention it openly. But this guy was different; he not only made it public but also said it in front of the Crown Prince.
Just as Bi Linglong was about to reprimand him, Zhao Ruizhi chimed in with a "hmm," saying, "Linglong, Zu'an is right. I'm not stupid at all."
Bi Linglong: "..."
What can she do when her lousy husband drags her down like this?
But she was unwilling to let Zu'an go like that, and the two sides remained deadlocked.
Wait a minute, the name Zuan sounds familiar.
Just then, a gentle and melodious voice came from the side: "Little Linglong, who are you angry with?"
Upon hearing this voice, Bi Linglong's expression changed slightly, but she quickly changed back to a smiling face and turned around: "What brings Consort Bai here today?"
Zu An looked in the direction of the sound and saw a graceful young noblewoman standing not far away. She had eyebrows like spring mountains and eyes like autumn water. Although she was very beautiful, she gave people a gentle, dignified, and unapproachable feeling.
