Upon hearing this, Zhao Bi was immediately moved to tears, his voice choked with emotion, "Thank you for your concern, sir. I understand, but I have no way to defend myself. So be it. What can I do when I come from a humble background and have no ability of my own?"
Seeing Zhao Bi so aggrieved, Guan Heng's sense of justice immediately surged again. He patted Zhao Bi's arm and said, "Your Highness, do not be discouraged. Believe that good will prevail over evil. One day, those villains will get what they deserve!"
Zhao Bi was even more moved. "Thank you for believing in Ziyu, my lord." He then gave a self-deprecating smile. "Ziyu thought that no one in this world believed in me except my mother. I never expected that you would understand me. I have no regrets in this life."

While saying this, he was secretly mocking Guan Heng for being so easily manipulated. He had gained a great help by making up some excuses and even managed to get him to deal with the Prince Yong's mansion. It was truly brilliant.
He knew from the moment he learned that Zhao Shu had caused trouble at his mansion gate in broad daylight that Zhao Shu would no longer hide her actions even in the capital, so there was no need for him to tolerate it any longer.
It would be one thing if it were outside the capital, where the emperor is far away, but in the capital, Zhao Shu is unkind, so naturally he would be unjust.
