Chapter 286 Kwok Ping-man Will Die Sooner or Later
The Grand Princess's Residence.
When Empress Song Zhuyi and Song Zhuran arrived, Guo Bingwen had already come to greet them.
"Her Majesty the Empress has arrived! Consort Song has arrived!" the eunuch shouted in a high-pitched voice.
Everyone was wondering when a new Consort Song had appeared in the palace, until they saw her in person and their eyes widened in surprise.
"Hmph, that old bastard from the Song family is really something. One woman can't lay eggs, yet he's stuffed another daughter who's just come of age into the palace." The Grand Princess sneered in a low voice.
She stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress, Consort Song."
After all, all the court officials were present at this time. If she were to show disrespect to the Empress, many people would likely seize the opportunity to make trouble for her.
The Empress gently raised her hand, "No need for formalities."
"I heard that Princess Ping'an wanted to see Consort Song, so I brought Consort Song here with me."
"After all, it is the princess's wedding day, so it's best not to let the princess have any regrets."
"Ping An, the people have arrived. You can proceed with the wedding ceremony now. Don't worry, you'll still be in the capital. You'll have plenty of time to see whomever you want," the Grand Princess said deliberately.
Princess Ping'an removed the fan covering her face, and Granny Xi immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Princess, this fan cannot be removed so easily."
"It's bad luck, cover it up quickly."
Princess Ping'an ignored Granny Xi's words, staring straight at Song Zhuran, looking her up and down, and suddenly sneered, "Am I really that stupid?"
"I didn't even realize that this Young Master Xuan was you."
"What? Young Master Xuan is Consort Song?"
"That's what Princess Ping'an just said, right? Doesn't that mean Princess Ping'an has fallen for a woman from the Song family, and that woman has become a noblewoman?"
"Such a thing could happen? Could it be that Princess Ping'an has gone mad?"
"......"
Some of the gossipy relatives of officials were whispering among themselves. Song Zhuran frowned deeply and said, "What are you saying? I don't understand."
"How could I possibly be Young Master Xuan? I even got into a fight with you the other day when Young Master Xuan was performing. You wouldn't hold a grudge like that, would you?"
Just because we had a fight that day, are you going to ruin my reputation like this?
As Song Zhuran spoke, she pouted and acted coquettishly towards Empress Song Zhuyi, "Sister, you can be my witness. As expected, there was nothing good about this Young Master Xuan."
"Let's hurry up and leave, I don't like it here."
"You say you're not Young Master Xuan, so what's the explanation for the jade pendant at your waist?"
Song Zhuran glanced down at the jade pendant at her waist. It was a gift from her master, so she never took it off. She thought to herself, "Troublesome."
He remained unfazed, saying, "There are plenty of people in the world with the same jade pendant. I bought this pendant a long time ago; I even bought two back then, but one of them is missing."
"What can a jade pendant prove? I won't hold it against you on your wedding day."
"Peace!" the Grand Princess gently scolded, "We can talk about it after today."
Princess Ping'an wouldn't listen. "Fine, since there's nothing to say about the jade pendant, do you dare let me see your left arm?"
That day, Young Master Xuan suddenly contacted her again, asking for the Nine-Leaf Resurrection Grass. She had already become suspicious and took advantage of the moment when the young master approached her to apply a special medicinal powder to it.
It guarantees that nothing will be eliminated within seven days.
Song Zhuran naturally knew this, because she had tried many methods at home without success. "Why should I show you?"
"I think you're really obsessed."
"You don't dare?" Princess Ping'an was now absolutely certain that the person opposite her was Young Master Xuan.
I never imagined that the person I had been thinking about day and night, the person I wanted to spend my life with, would be a woman.
In her haste, Princess Ping'an took two steps forward and tried to tug at Song Zhuran's sleeve, but the eunuch beside the Empress quickly stepped forward to stop her, saying, "Your Highness, Miss Song is now a noble lady."
With just one sentence, the Grand Princess pulled Princess Ping'an back: "Ping'an, do you want to utterly disgrace me?"
“Mother, she really is Young Master Xuan. Jiang Wan Ning is right, she is him.” Princess Ping An said, pointing at Song Zhu Ran.
Song Zhuran looked at Jiang Wanning with a wronged expression, "Sister Jiang, why did you frame me?"
Jiang Wan Ning remained calm and looked up to meet Song Zhu Ran's eyes. "Noble Lady Song, don't let those with ulterior motives take advantage of you without any evidence."
Sigh~ I just won't admit it, no matter what, you have no evidence.
Since you like playing the double agent, I'll play along.
Song Zhuran pinched her palm hard with her fingers, but smiled on her face, "Sister Jiang is so smart, I was almost misled by her."
"Sister, I don't want to stay here anymore, let's go back." Song Zhuran tugged at Empress Song Zhuyi's sleeve and shook it.
A eunuch standing nearby whispered a reminder, "Consort Song, now that you are a consort, you can no longer be disrespectful to Her Majesty the Empress as you were before."
Song Zhuran glanced at the eunuch with displeasure, expecting Song Zhuyi to vent her anger, but to her surprise, Song Zhuyi did not make the slightest move.
Song Zhuran sneered inwardly.
It seems that Jiang Wan Ning told Song Zhu Yi everything, and that fool Song Zhu Yi believed it all.
It's good that you believed it. I've been pretending all these years, and I've already completed the task my master gave me and successfully entered the palace.
Song Zhuran thought of her master and couldn't help but look around. Logically, her master should be here today, so why didn't she see him?
"Aunt, let's start quickly, otherwise it will be bad if we miss the auspicious time," Empress Song Zhuyi said calmly.
Although the Grand Princess was displeased, she instructed her servants to lead Princess Ping'an and Guo Bingwen to kowtow and pay their respects so that the matter could end as soon as possible. For some reason, she was restless all day, especially with intermittent throbbing pains in her heart.
Guo Bingwen stepped forward and grasped the other end of the red silk, adopting a victorious posture. He believed that as long as she married Princess Ping'an today, the Grand Princess would surely help him rise to prominence, even if it was just for her daughter's sake.
He will repay these people a thousandfold for all the humiliation he has suffered.
"Princess, hold your fan tight, the auspicious time is about to pass," Granny Xi whispered a reminder.
Princess Ping'an had never intended to get married today, so she didn't care about auspicious or inauspicious times.
His eyes were filled with fatigue and bloodshot, and he looked at Song Zhuran and Guo Bingwen with resentment.
"Ping An!" The Grand Princess sensed something was wrong; she had never seen Ping An like this before.
Princess Ping'an seemed not to hear, staring intently at Song Zhuran, and took two steps forward, getting closer to Song Zhuran.
Everyone watched in silence, never expecting that Princess Ping'an had been hiding a dagger in her sleeve.
Ping An took two steps, his hand, which was holding a dagger hidden in his sleeve, clenched tightly. The moment he pulled out the dagger, he turned around and plunged it into Guo Bingwen's heart.
The entire banquet erupted into chaos. The Grand Princess, her eyes filled with an unprecedented panic, asked, "Ping An, what are you doing?"
She already said that Walter Kwok would die sooner or later, and today was just a formality. Why is Ping An so upset?
