"Shut up, everyone! How can we allow you to be so presumptuous in front of the palace? Where is the dignity of the royal family?"
Zhenhan held Lan Shuang's other hand and scolded her as soon as he came out. His clear voice instantly drowned out the noisy voices, and the people suddenly became much quieter.
Lan Shuang raised her eyebrows. He was indeed the King Ming's man. He could really keep the situation under control at the critical moment.
Bi Qing supported her other hand, and the servant also came and put the chair down, "Princess, please——"
In front of everyone, Lan Shuang sat down leisurely in the armchair, with her hands casually resting on the armrests.
"Who just said that this princess is unworthy? This princess would like to ask, what is it that makes you unworthy?"
Her slightly majestic gaze swept across the faces of everyone present, and finally stopped on a man who looked a little guilty.
The man was also dressed as a scholar, about the same age as Liu Lang, and they were probably together.
Seeing that he didn't dare to look up and meet her gaze, Lan Shuang sneered, "People always say that women love to gossip and are full of gossip, but after seeing it today, I think that's really not true. It's clearly men who are more involved."
Upon hearing this, the people looked around and saw that men indeed made up the majority.
The scholar was dissatisfied and opened his mouth to refute. Lan Shuang immediately looked at him and said, "Just now, you said that this princess is unworthy, right?"
"Why, do you know the whole story? Do you know the hidden secret?"
The man shuddered, then, noticing everyone looking at him, he stretched his neck and said, "I... naturally I know. Liu Lang is my classmate and friend. I know him like that very well. Are you saying that he's wronged you?"
"You understand?" Lan Shuang smiled meaningfully. "Very good. I hope you can say this again later."
She did not argue with him, but turned to look at Liu Lang, who was being held down on his knees by the guards. Liu Lang immediately became excited, his eyes shining.
“Mmmmm—”
Lan Shuang waved her hand: "Let him go."
"Yes." As soon as the guards let go, Liu Lang immediately fluttered to Lan Shuang, as if wanting to hold her hand.
"Shuang'er—you finally agreed to see me!"
"Back off!" Bi Qing shouted, "How dare you! Do you think you can call the princess by her maiden name?"
Liu Lang's eyes were red as he said sadly, "Now I can't even call you by your name?"
As he said this, he actually wanted to reach out and touch Lan Shuang's face. Lan Shuang raised her eyebrows, and before Zhenhan and Mianxiang were ready to attack, she raised one leg and kicked Liu Lang's knee hard.
Liu Lang was caught off guard and cried out in pain, falling directly to his knees: "Ah——"
"You! Even if you are the princess, you can't hurt people in the street for no reason, right?"
The scholar stepped forward and questioned Lan Shuang.
Lan Shuang sat in the chair without changing her expression. "He refused to kneel before me, and even called me by my maiden name. This is insubordination. I will give him a kick, which is nothing. As a scholar, have you never learned the laws of this dynasty?"
"I……"
The scholar was speechless and blushed.
"Princess, you have such a cruel heart!" Liu Lang knelt on the ground and looked at Lan Shuang accusingly. "When we were in love, you said you would marry no one but me. Now that I've married into the palace, have you turned your back on me?"
The people nearby also looked at Lan Shuang with some disapproval.
Lan Shuang clapped her hands and laughed, "What a great show, Liu Lang. It's a shame you don't go into storytelling with your talent."
"What do you mean? It's not enough to abandon me, now you want to humiliate me in the street?"
Liu Lang knelt on the ground but kept his back straight.
Lan Shuang asked back, "Didn't you ask for humiliation yourself?"
Liu Lang: “…”
The servant behind him couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Liu Lang felt his face burning with anger. He gritted his teeth and finally got to the point: "Okay, okay, okay, now that you've married into a wealthy family, I shouldn't have bothered you. But there's something I don't understand. If I don't get to know you, I won't be able to sleep or eat. Please, Princess, enlighten me."
"you say."
Lan Shuang looked at him leisurely.
柳浪一拱手，“王妃大婚之日，原本说好与我在角门相会，让我带你远走高飞，说誓死不嫁暴戾王爷，为何你没有赴约，为何临时变卦，还派人揍了我一顿？”
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing two white arms with bruises and red marks on them that were particularly obvious.
The onlookers gasped.
Someone exclaimed, "Isn't this too cruel?"
"You really can't judge a person by appearance. The princess looks delicate and beautiful, but I didn't expect her to have such a vicious heart!"
"How can such a person be worthy of marrying into the royal family?"
Seeing someone mixing in and starting to attack Lan Shuang, Lan Shuang raised her hand and said, "Wait a minute."
"I haven't even said anything yet, and you're already convicting me. Isn't that a bit hasty?"
Lan Shuang didn't wait for anyone else to refute her. She stood up and looked down at Liu Lang. "Liu Lang, you said that you and this princess have a deep bond. So, you must know me very well."
"Of course, I have always remembered every detail between me and the princess, but I'm afraid she has forgotten."
Liu Lang looked gloomy. This pretty boy was still quite lethal and immediately attracted the sympathy of many people.
Lan Shuang ignored him and asked, "Liu Lang, when did you meet this princess? Where did you meet her? Why?"
Liu Lang answered fluently, without a trace of panic. "I met the princess at the Huaiyu Teahouse in the east of the city. She and your sister came down from the second floor together. I saw her the moment I saw her and was stunned by her beauty, so..."
"Stop talking so much nonsense. Where are you going?" Lan Shuang had a smile on her lips, as if it was just a casual question.
Liu Lang didn't think much about it. "I went there with my classmates that day to have tea."
"What kind of tea are you drinking?"
Liu Lang frowned, "It's been too long, I can't remember clearly."
Lan Shuang asked, "But is it the Fog Mountain Cloud Top (I made that up)? I remember when we passed by each other, you seemed to have its fragrance on you."
Liu Lang nodded, his eyes lit up: "Yes."
Lan Shuang: “Oh~”
888 was puzzled: "Host, how did you know?"
Lan Shuang: "I don't know, I cheated him."
888: “…”
"Second question," Lan Shuang paced in front of him, "you said that this princess and you secretly agreed to spend your life together. Do you have any evidence? You have no evidence and yet you slander this princess's innocence with empty words. Do you know what will happen to you?"
She stared at Liu Lang with sharp eyes, thinking that since Liu Lang dared to come here and make a scene, he must have made full preparations, and maybe he really had something of hers in his hand.
As expected, Liu Lang snorted coldly and pulled out a handkerchief from his bosom. He opened it and saw a jade pendant wrapped inside. He held it up for everyone to see: "This jade pendant was given to me by the princess when she expressed her feelings to me that day. How can it not be considered evidence? It also has the princess' name on it."
Once these words were spoken, coupled with the jade pendant, the evidence was irrefutable, and those who had been wavering before looked at Lan Shuang with unfriendly eyes.
"What else does the princess have to say?"
The scholar asked proudly from the side.
Lan Shuang was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, as bright as the morning sun, "Of course there is."
