Chapter 764 But he couldn't swallow this anger...
Gu Qingchen blushed at Song Ruyan's straightforward question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"I..." She opened her mouth, her mind in a mess.
Try? She had never thought about this question. To her, Qian Zhenyun was a childhood sweetheart, a trustworthy friend, and even an ally she could trust with her life.
But the only thing is that it is not the love between men and women.
Looking at Gu Qingchen's flustered and confused look, the light in Song Ruyan's eyes dimmed a little, and then turned into a long sigh.
She let go of his hand and didn't press any further.
"Forget it, forget it. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings." Song Ruyan waved her hand, and her face returned to its cheerful look, but there was a trace of imperceptible loss hidden deep in her eyes.
"It's late, go back and get some rest. You're exhausted tonight."
Gu Qingchen nodded randomly as if he had been pardoned, and ran towards his yard almost as if escaping.
"Aunt Song, I'm going back first!"
Looking at the hurried figure, Song Ruyan stood there, shook her head, but a complicated smile appeared on her lips.
This girl probably hasn't understood yet. Acting can sometimes be more hurtful than the real thing.
In the capital tonight, two people are destined to remain sleepless.
East Palace, Cheng'en Hall.
All the palace servants and eunuchs serving in the hall knelt on the ground, even breathing as lightly as possible. The huge palace was so silent that only the crackling sound of the burning candles could be heard.
"Bang!"
A fine white jade teacup was smashed hard to the ground and shattered into countless pieces.
Zhao Chenan was wearing a bright yellow uniform, his chest heaving violently. His handsome face was distorted by extreme anger, his eyes were red, like a beast trapped in a cage.
"Good, what a mutual understanding!" He gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words from between his teeth. With every word he said, the murderous intent in his eyes became stronger.
He couldn't figure out what he had done wrong.
He gave her the supreme honor of being the future Crown Princess, he promised her immense power second only to the emperor, and he was even willing to tolerate her arrogance and willfulness.
But what about her?
She would rather destroy her own reputation and perform such an unbearable farce in front of the whole world with his most trusted study partner, a servant, just to escape from him!
This is a humiliation and a naked betrayal!
"Qian Zhenyun..." Zhao Chen'an whispered the name, his voice filled with cold hatred. "I single-handedly promoted him from a nobody to where he is today, made him my personal confidant. Is this how he repays me?"
The personal eunuch Liu Quan knelt on the ground with his head lowered, not daring to say a word.
"Send the order." Zhao Chen'an's voice suddenly turned cold. "Throw Qian Zhenyun... into the Heavenly Prison. And arrest his father as well! I must investigate, thoroughly investigate! I want to see how bold the Qian family is to covet the Eastern Palace!"
"Your Highness, please calm down!" Liu Quan kowtowed violently, his voice trembling. "Your Highness, the Empress has just suppressed this matter. If you now attack the Qian family, wouldn't that confirm the rumors that spread tonight? This... this will embarrass you..."
"face?"
Zhao Chenan looked like he had heard a huge joke. He turned around abruptly and kicked over the rosewood low table beside him.
"My dignity was trampled under their feet and crushed to pieces in Merlin tonight!"
His scarlet eyes stared at Liu Quan intently: "Not only will I destroy him, I will make him wish he were dead, unable to live! I will show everyone what happens to those who betray me!"
Liu Quan was terrified, but he still insisted, "Your Highness, this cannot happen! Qian Zhenyun is your man. If he is truly guilty, it will only be a slap in your face. The Empress's intention is to handle this matter calmly. Once the storm has passed, she can find a reason to send him away..."
"Mother?" Zhao Chen'an sneered, the sarcasm in his eyes even stronger. "She only cares about the dignity of the royal family and the honor of her position as queen. Has she ever cared about the feelings of a son like me?"
"She only wants to win over the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but she doesn't think about the fact that they won't appreciate it at all! Gu Qingchen would rather choose a servant than be my Crown Princess!"
After his fury, Zhao Chen'an slowly calmed down. He slumped down on a chair covered in thick brocade cushions, the fire in his eyes gradually extinguished, replaced by a bottomless pool of cold.
Liu Quan is right.
We can’t touch Qian Zhenyun now, at least not openly.
But he couldn't swallow this anger...
