Chapter 187: Already Expected (Update 1)
Luo Wanwan’s face turned pale.
"Princess, Princess! I definitely didn't mean that! I just heard those words from somewhere else. I really didn't--"
"Oh? Did you hear it from somewhere else? Then tell me, where did you hear it from?" Princess Qinyang continued to ask.
"Yes, yes..." Luo Wanwan stuttered, twisting the handkerchief tightly in her hands, a trace of confusion flashed across her eyes.
At this moment, Murong Ye behind him finally caught up, "Qin Yang!"
When Luo Wanwan heard the voice, she subconsciously looked up. When she saw that the person coming was Murong Ye, she shuddered suddenly, as if she suddenly remembered something, and swallowed back the words in her throat.
Princess Qinyang didn't want to pay any attention to Murong Ye at this moment. She didn't even turn her head and continued to stare at Luo Wanwan: "Tell me, who is it?"
Luo Wanwan bit her lip: "This..."
Murong Ye rushed over and saw this situation. He thought that Princess Qinyang was unhappy and was taking her anger out on others, so he frowned immediately.
When he came, Luo Wanwan lowered her head and refused to say a word.
Princess Qinyang became impatient: "Why, you can't say it?"
Luo Wanwan seemed to be frightened and began to sob softly.
"My Lord, I can't remember it anymore. I really can't remember it. Please forgive me this time. I won't dare to do it again!"
Murong Ye stepped forward and said calmly, "Qin Yang, if there is any misunderstanding between us, just talk it out. If you are dissatisfied with me, just say it directly. Why take your anger out on others?"
Princess Qinyang turned around with amusement: "Take your anger out on others?"
Murong Ye thought that he had hit the nail on the head. He looked around and frowned, saying, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet. Why are you making such a scene?"
Princess Qinyang pointed at Luo Wanwan and asked, "Why do you think she knelt down and admitted her fault?"
Of course Murong Ye didn't know, but he was too lazy to ask. With Princess Qinyang's temper, who could afford to offend her?
"If you don't want to help me, I won't bother you again in the future, but you really don't have to vent your anger on others like this—"
Princess Qinyang's eyes turned cold and she lowered her eyes to glance at Luo Wanwan.
"Tell Mr. Murong what you just said to your sisters without missing a word."
How could Luo Wanwan dare? He just cried and begged for mercy, saying that he would never do it again.
Murong Ye felt that Princess Qinyang was deliberately doing this to save his face, and the anger that he had suppressed for a long time finally exploded:
"Qin Yang! You don't have to do this! Just pretend that I never looked for you today! I will find a way to solve my own problems!"
After saying that, he turned away.
Princess Qinyang looked at his departing back expressionlessly, and felt that he was becoming more and more unfamiliar, and was drifting further and further away from the proud young man in her memory.
She looked at Luo Wanwan again, and seemed to accidentally stroke the long whip at her waist.
"Since you are unwilling to tell me, I will just assume that you are the one who told me this."
Luo Wanwan looked panicked: "Princess——"
Seeing this, several women nearby also quickly followed suit and pleaded: "Princess, you can't do this!"
"Why are you so nervous? I won't eat you. Besides, I'll be annoyed if things get really bad today."
Hearing that she didn't seem to intend to pursue the matter, Luo Wanwan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the next moment, Princess Qinyang leaned over, grasped the whip and slapped her cheek.
"but--"
The cold and hard touch made Luo Wanwan stiffen all over and she dared not move.
Princess Qinyang smiled and said:
"This princess has always been good-tempered, but it's hard to say for others. Miss Luo, just wish yourself the best."
…
Murong Ye returned to the main hall and sat down with a heavy heart.
Murong Yang tilted his head and looked at him.
"What did you do when you went out just now?"
Murong Ye reluctantly said, "Nothing."
Murong Yang took a sip of wine and glanced behind him.
"Where is Princess Qinyang?"
No one knows a son better than his father. His son has never liked Princess Qinyang, but today he acted out of character. He chased after her as soon as he saw her and stayed outside for a long time. He knew there must be something going on.
When he asked this, Murong Ye couldn't help but think of Princess Qinyang's frosty face and the mocking look at the corner of her mouth. His mood became even worse, and his tone became much colder.
"How would I know about her?"
In the past, Princess Qinyang always liked to follow him. No matter what he said or did, she would never treat him with such an expression or tone.
Murong Ye was used to being superior, so how could he bear such a sudden attack?
Murong Yang looked displeased: "What kind of place is this? Watch your attitude!"
The eldest princess is still sitting there!
Murong Ye responded reluctantly, but the anger in his heart grew more and more intense.
At this time, Emperor Mu Wu, who was sitting at the head of the table, suddenly asked, "Lord Su, I heard that you locked Ye Heng up yesterday? Why?"
The entire hall fell into silence in an instant, and countless pairs of eyes looked towards Su Wei.
Yesterday, the news of Su Wei arresting Ye Heng caused a lot of buzz, but few people knew the inside story.
When they heard Emperor Mu Wu ask this question, they naturally pricked up their ears.
Su Wei stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, it is true. Ye Heng went to the Han family yesterday, and a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides, almost causing two deaths, so I ordered Ye Heng to be detained first and retrial later."
Concubine Ru covered her lips in surprise: "Two lives?!"
Su Wei bowed his head, "Yes. The two people were Han Yao and Han Yao's pregnant concubine. According to the testimony of the people at the scene, Ye Heng led his men into the Han family and fought with Han Yao. Han Yao was defeated and fainted on the spot. Seeing this, his concubine was extremely anxious and begged him to die, which led to this result."
Concubine Ru looked reluctant, "She's pregnant? If something really happened, it would be a sin! Lord Ye usually has close ties with the Han family, how could something like this happen?"
As soon as Princess Qinyang walked in, she heard Concubine Ru's words and immediately looked at Shen Yanchuan subconsciously.
——Why does something seem to be wrong? The person who asked this question was actually Concubine Ru, who had nothing to do with this matter?
Chen Yanchuan picked up the teacup, and white mist rose up, covering his cold eyebrows.
Neither fast nor slow, and without any disturbance.
Princess Qinyang blinked.
...Her brother had already anticipated this?
