Chapter 158: Like a Peacock Spreading its Tail to Court
Su Rongyan was probably stunned by Su Wanyan's words. For a long while, only her heavy breathing could be heard. Her eyes were dim and her body was shaking. "Sister, I don't believe it. Don't try to sow discord between me and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He is the future crown prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom. How could he easily go back on his promise?"
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's attitude towards her before he left was indeed different from before, she did not see any difference in the promises he made to her. As long as her value remained... as long as her father could still gain the Emperor's trust... as long as the Emperor still disliked Prime Minister Yuan... then the position of Queen would still be hers, and no one could take it away from her.
Su Wanyan hadn't expected this woman to be so stubborn even at this point. What good could Ji Mingshuo have? Besides a slightly better-looking face and the title of Crown Prince, he was completely worthless, right? To maintain his position as Crown Prince and to please the "dog emperor," he needed the help of a woman.
Only a boudoir woman like Su Rongyan, who had never seen many men, would treat a man like that as a treasure. If it were her, even if the dog emperor said he would give her the throne, but the condition was that she had to accept Ji Mingshuo, haha! She would have to kill Ji Mingshuo first and then negotiate with the dog emperor.
Besides, if she really wants to get married and choose a husband... Su Wanyan's eyes drifted to the tall man who was protecting her. He was handsome, rich, and powerful. Most importantly, this man was very open-minded, had a particularly avant-garde ability to accept new things, and was very tolerant!
Ji Xiaohan met the little princess's scorching gaze, and inexplicably felt as if he was being pressed on a chopping board for scrutiny. He straightened his back imperceptibly, making his tall figure look perfect from any angle.
Xiao Er's expressionless face twitched suspiciously. Master, the little princess just glanced at you. Why are you spreading your feathers like a peacock courting a mate?
Su Wanyan didn't notice Ji Xiaohan's actions. After taking a look at the cool and handsome Prince Xiao, she looked away. The rain was still falling. Even though she was wearing a straw raincoat and Ji Xiaohan was holding an umbrella for her, she no longer had the interest to torture Su Rongyan. She finally retracted her foot mercifully, "Alright, I'm too lazy to argue with someone who is stubborn and rebellious. Since you don't want to believe it, then just watch."
After saying that, Su Wanyan gestured to Xiao Er who was standing beside her, "Take her and the coachman Lao Liu with you, let's go."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaohan walked closer to the little princess, put his hand into his straw raincoat and put his arm around her waist. Without even looking at Su Rongyan who was lying in a mess on the ground or the coachman Lao Liu who was stepped on by Xiao Er, he protected the little princess and walked away.
Xiao Er responded, bent down, picked up the two injured people in each hand, and followed the two masters who were strolling in front of him, turning a deaf ear to the two people's cries of pain. He held the two people at a tricky angle, facing upwards, and let the two people be hit by the raindrops as big as beans.
Xiao Yi's side was almost resolved as well. They also rushed over with corpses in their hands. The gap in the dam was not big, and the river water was no longer turbulent after it maintained a certain level. The blood from the corpses fell into the river and was quickly washed away, leaving no trace, just like their fight just now, which was washed away by the rain.
