Shangguan Ruoning stopped two steps away from Su Liyue and looked at her with an apologetic look on her face. "Princess, I'm sorry. I'm afraid I'll have to return to the palace today."
Su Liyue didn't say anything, but just raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Shangguan Ruoning, waiting for Shangguan Ruoning to continue to justify herself.
After all, Shangguan Ruoning's appearance here today was a slap in the face. As someone who cared so much about her reputation, it was natural that she had to whitewash herself in front of these people.
And she gave her this opportunity.
When Shangguan Ruoning saw that Su Liyue did not respond, a hint of ferocity flashed across her eyes, but she concealed all the expressions when she lowered her head. Her gaze fell on her heavily embroidered red palace dress, and the corners of her lips curled up.
When she raised her eyes, her eyes were clear, and her face was filled with a hint of innocence, a hint of frankness, and a hint of apology. She said, "Don't worry, sister. Although the Queen Mother decided to let me return to the Zhan Palace, you will always be the princess of the Zhan Palace..."
As she spoke, Shangguan Ruoning raised her hand slightly, perfectly displaying her exquisite and luxurious clothes. "I didn't wear this dress intentionally to overshadow you, sister. It's just that the Queen Mother saw that today is a festive day, so she gave me this bright red dress. I believe you won't mind, sister?"
The words sounded innocent, but Su Liyue could hear the provocation in them.
Shangguan Ruoning's words not only explained why she had contradicted herself today and returned to Prince Zhan's Mansion, but also mentioned that she had said that day that a concubine could not wear red, and pointed out that it was the Queen Mother who ordered her to wear red.
Tsk, this is a slap in her face.
but--
Su Liyue stared at Shangguan Ruoning, her eyes slightly narrowed, her heart full of suspicion.
Shangguan Ruoning reminded her: Shangguan Ruoning left that day with an open mind, like a proud peacock, why did she come back at this time?
Logically speaking, if Shangguan Ruoning really wanted to stay in Prince Zhan's mansion as a concubine, she should not have left that day.
Isn't it a contradiction to leave and come back?
Su Liyue thought about Shangguan Ruoning's original intention of coming back, and did not speak for a while.
Shangguan Ruoning saw Su Liyue remained silent, but she seized the opportunity and said, somewhat sadly and stubbornly, "I know you're upset, but I've thought about it. The prince and I have been together for so many years, and I can't give it up just to prove my innocence. That would be disrespectful to our relationship. I beg your pardon, sister."
As she said this, Shangguan Ruoning's face showed a trace of enduring humiliation.
The onlookers standing in front saw this and started to talk about it with some heartache.
"Miss Shangguan is just pursuing her own feelings, what's wrong with that?"
"Exactly. Su Liyue is a latecomer who ruins people's relationships. Why doesn't she allow Miss Shangguan in?"
“…”
In short, these discussions are one-sided.
In addition to accusing Su Liyue of being domineering and destroying other people's feelings, she also admires Shangguan Ruoning's loyalty to love.
At this moment, a young man in blue brocade clothes, holding a folding fan in his hand, walked forward with an angry face and glared at Su Liyue.
"Su Liyue, you're truly a master of tactics. You misunderstood Ning'er for something she didn't do before, and now you've put her in such an embarrassing situation. Do you think you can possess Prince Zhan with such tactics? Don't you think you're anything but a nobody? How could Prince Zhan even consider you?"
It was quite rude to say this to a woman.
What he was talking about was that Su Liyue pointed out at the wedding hall that day that Shangguan Ruoning had poisoned her.
Su Liyue originally watched Shangguan Ruoning setting the pace with cold eyes. Just as she was about to speak, Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared and her eyes shifted to "Cheng Yaojin".
Su Liyue stared at the young man in brocade clothes with a cold and indifferent gaze. She stared at him until he felt uneasy. Then she said calmly, "Who are you?"
It seems that he is a supporter of Shangguan Ruoning, and a brainless one at that.
Upon hearing this, the young man in brocade clothes, Cheng Jinwu, looked at Su Liyue with disdain and a bit of arrogance, "This young master will always keep his name and surname. It's Cheng Jinwu."
Cheng Jinwu is the only legitimate son of the first-rank general Cheng Liang. Although he has a half-brother, there has always been a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children in this era. Therefore, Cheng Jinwu was raised in pampering. He is a well-known playboy in the capital and is also Shangguan Ruoning's number one supporter.
Su Liyue asked Xirong to cram these information for her, and now it just fits the bill.
Su Liyue looked at Cheng Jinwu coldly, a smile on her lips but no trace of smile in her eyes. She said coldly, "Master Cheng, do you hold an official title?"
Cheng Jinwu was stunned when he heard this, but he still answered truthfully, "No."
"Then do you have the emperor's permission?" Su Liyue continued to ask, with a hint of coldness in her voice.
Cheng Jinwu became even more confused.
He was talking about Ning'er, why was Su Liyue asking all that nonsense?
Although he was confused, Cheng Jinwu still shook his head.
Su Liyue looked at Cheng Jinwu, and her expression turned completely cold.
"You hold no official title, nor do you have the Emperor's special permission. Who gives you the right to speak to me, the princess, in such a tone?"
At this moment, Su Liyue had a dignified look on her face, and her tone was sharp and imposing, which frightened Cheng Jinwu so much that he was stunned.
"you……"
"Someone come!"
Without waiting for Cheng Jinwu to speak, Su Liyue gave the order in a deep voice.
Following Su Liyue's order, Nan Jing came out with several guards.
Shangguan Ruoning was a little surprised when she saw Nan Jing. After all, she knew Nan Jing's attitude towards Su Liyue. How could Nan Jing be used by Su Liyue today?
