Princess Changqing looked her up and down with contempt in her eyes, but she couldn't hide the jealousy in them.
"The most beautiful woman in Lu State is nothing more than this!"
"Why don't you kneel down and salute me when you see me?"
Shen Shuyi acted as if he didn't see her and didn't greet her at all.
The Regent is all-powerful. As someone close to the Regent, she represents the Regent's face. If she kowtows to Princess Changqing and Concubine Zhen, she will be punished by Li Zhan when she returns to the palace.
She can't afford to lose face.
66 in the system space exclaimed, "Wow!" He knew that its host was just taking advantage of the power of others!
Lu Zhen'er deliberately fanned the flames, "Princess, she may have just arrived in Chen State and doesn't know the rules."
If it weren't for Shen Shuyi, the lowly secret guard, she could have married into the State of Chen as a princess. Who would dare to talk about her behind her back as a country girl?
When Princess Changqing heard this, she became even angrier, mainly because she was embarrassed.
"Someone come!"
"Take this unruly slave away and let Mammy teach her some manners!"
Shen Shuyi looked at Princess Changqing coldly, "I am a princess from the Kingdom of Lu who came to marry into the royal family. I am also a member of the Regent's family. It is not your turn to discipline me."
When Princess Changqing heard this, she was so angry that her face turned blue. This bitch was so arrogant only because she relied on the power of the Regent's Palace.
He is so arrogant even when the Regent is not around. What would happen if the Regent was there? He might as well go all out and kill a useless princess who is married to a foreign country. What's the big deal?
"Someone, take her away!"
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Two maids with fleshy faces quickly grabbed Shen Shuyi and took her away.
The system watched helplessly as Shen Shuyi was taken to a remote room and locked up: Host, you have martial arts skills, won’t you resist?
"No rush. This palace is full of Li Zhan's spies. He will definitely know immediately that I was taken away by the princess and Lu Zhen'er."
"His favorability towards me has always remained at 30%. This might be a small breakthrough."
Princess Changqing and Lu Zhen'er felt uncomfortable when they saw Chen Shuyi's calm face and no sign of panic.
"If you kneel down and admit your fault before me, and learn the rules, I will consider sparing you the pain of the flesh."
Wait until she admits her mistake and bows down before drowning her in the pond!
Chen Shuyi wouldn't fall for her tricks. She had seen many people like Princess Changqing. The more she followed her, the faster she would die.
at the same time.
Inside the Golden Palace, Li Zhan, who was in the middle of a meeting, suddenly felt a pain in his chest and a bad feeling arose in his heart.
He glanced at the people present and said, "I am exhausted. Since we can't come up with a solution, let's discuss it again at the court tomorrow morning."
Chen Junliu, sitting on the dragon throne, frowned. "The Qiang State has invaded the border. The situation is urgent. Whether to fight or make peace must be done as soon as possible..."
Before the emperor could finish his words, Li Zhan turned around and walked out, ignoring the emperor's ugly expression.
As soon as Li Zhan walked out of the Golden Palace, a young eunuch hurried over and whispered to him.
He frowned when he heard this, and suddenly quickened his pace and ran towards Hua'e Tower.
When Li Zhan came to Hua'e Tower, Chen Shuyi received a notification from the system. At this time, Princess Changqing, who was furious, sent a nanny to take her to a remote deserted well.
Princess Changqing had a twisted mind. Ever since her brother came to power and became emperor, she had beaten to death all the palace maids who had neglected, despised, or bullied her. Of course, many of them were also thrown into ponds or dry wells.
She was so jealous when she saw Shen Shuyi's face, "You still won't kneel down and beg for mercy?"
"If you kowtow and admit your fault, I will release you. Otherwise, I will throw you into a dry well, and then you will be helpless."
Shen Shuyi didn't break free from the nanny's hold. She raised her stubborn little face and sneered.
"Guess if the Regent will be angry if he knows you attacked me."
Lu Zhen'er had already found an excuse to leave, as long as she could provoke Princess Changqing to deal with Shen Shuyi. Even if the secret guards had martial arts skills, they would not dare to disobey their master's orders and resist.
He would inevitably suffer physical pain, and his face would be scratched by the jealous and crazy Changqing.
Chang Qing became even angrier when he heard her mention Li Zhan, "You're looking for death!"
"Throw her down the well!"
Suddenly, quick and steady footsteps were heard outside.
Princess Changqing had just raised her head when she was kicked to the ground by a man who leaped over at high speed. The two maids who were trying to pull Chen Shuyi into the dry well were pierced through by a sword and died with their eyes open facing Princess Changqing.
"Ah——" Princess Changqing screamed in surprise.
Shen Shuyi fell into Li Zhan's warm arms, her face pressed against his chest, and she heard his heartbeat so fast. Was it because he ran too fast?
"Where are you injured?" Li Zhan put his hands on the little princess's arms and looked down at her body.
Shen Shuyi hugged Li Zhan's waist with both hands, put her face in front of him, shook her head and whispered: "My Lord, I'm fine... Fortunately, you came, otherwise, otherwise I'm afraid..."
Li Zhan gently stroked her long hair, shifted his gaze to Princess Changqing, and asked in a deep voice.
"What do you mean, Princess?"
Princess Changqing no longer had the arrogance she had just shown when she faced the Regent. "Your Majesty, Uncle, I was just trying to scare her and teach her a lesson."
Li Zhan's eyes were cold, "It's not your turn to teach the rules to my people."
Princess Changqing was shocked, panicked and scared. She had never felt this way since her brother became emperor. She would just beat and kill anyone she didn't like. With so many people in the harem, a few deaths were nothing!
She didn't expect that the Regent cared so much about this bitch from Lu!
Li Zhan picked up the little princess and signaled to the guards behind him, "Come here, confine Princess Changqing and have her teach her the rules."
After saying that, Li Zhan strode away with the person in his arms. Treating the princess arbitrarily was simply throwing the royal family's reputation on the ground and crushing it.
Shen Shuyi put her hands around Li Zhan's neck and looked up at him slightly, "My Lord, have I caused you any trouble?"
"You are my man, and no one except me has the right to bully you." Li Zhan said this lightly.
Shen Shuyi: “…” If the system hadn’t prompted that the favorability value had reached 50%, she would have really believed the dog man’s poisonous mouth.
After leaving the palace and returning to the carriage of the prince's mansion, Shen Shuyi looked at the handsome man in front of him and saw sweat on his forehead.
She took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead carefully, "My Lord, thank you so much for saving me this time."
"It's just verbal thanks. I don't need it." Li Zhan lowered his eyes and looked at the girl who was concentrating on wiping the sweat off his face. No one could touch his woman. Saving her was a matter of course, so there was no need to thank her.
Shen Shuyi sat on his lap, her handkerchief brushed across Li Zhan's eyebrows, and the tip of her nose...
"Then how would you like me to thank you, Your Highness?"
Li Zhan felt her twist, and his breathing suddenly became heavier.
At this time, the carriage bumped a few times. Li Zhan raised his hands and hugged her tightly in his arms, and he smiled dumbly.
"What are you sitting on?"
“I’m not afraid of falling.”
When Shen Shuyi felt the carriage bumping, something...hiddenly bumped into her a few times.
