It looked like the two were about to cut each other's major arteries just like in the movie, and the situation was getting out of control.
Princess Hui'an has probably woken up by now, and Gan Qiongying has also seen the old man in charge of the estate go to inform him.
Gan Qiongying was worried that if the Grand Princess Hui'an knew that such a thing had happened at her birthday banquet, it would be bad if she were to be upset.
What's more frustrating is that Princess Huian's two sons could have been persuaded, but they both hold positions in the court and returned to the capital after celebrating Princess Huian's birthday last night, instead of staying here to participate in the hunt.
Therefore, in the entire Haoyue Manor, apart from the Grand Princess Hui'an, the person with the highest position and the most influence was the Regent himself.
As a result, the regent went mad.
The situation was completely out of control.
The young men from noble families clearly harbored long-standing grudges, and today they were settling scores and fighting each other without any regard for decorum. The guards' attempts to intervene only made things worse, and the fight escalated.
Knowing that things couldn't continue like this, Kang Guangwang Gan Li rushed forward with his shield to break up the fight. But before he could even touch the Regent, the Regent swung him away with one arm, sending him rolling on the ground like a little turtle.
Those who wanted to step forward to dissuade him stopped in their tracks upon seeing this.
Gan Qiongying was also shocked. Although she had read about it in a book before, she never expected the live broadcast to be so bloody!
If no one stops them, something terrible is bound to happen. The few lines of description on the page describe a quarrel over a girl, which quickly subsided.
But the reality is not as absurd as described in the book.
Gan Qiongying had already heard that it was Zhongli Zhengzhen who had provoked her first with his words and attitude. He didn't know where he had learned about the relationship between the Regent and the Empress Dowager, and he compared the Empress Dowager and the Regent to livestock, accurately hitting the Regent's sore spot.
In the story, the regent is the illegitimate son of the empress dowager. Kou Ning'an has protected him for so many years. She used the power of the entire Kou clan to help the regent seize power and even tried to make him ascend the throne. Isn't this the regent's unspeakable Achilles' heel?
Under the guise of a friendly spar, the Regent wanted to teach Zhongli a real lesson. However, the two of them got so engrossed in their fight that they lost all sense of proportion. Their adrenaline surged, and they couldn't stop, like they had just taken a ton of gum.
Of course, who beat whose head into a dog's head has nothing to do with Gan Qiongying.
However, Gan Qiongying was afraid that if something really serious happened, it would implicate the Grand Princess of Hui'an. Kou Ning'an, that mad dog, would definitely bite people indiscriminately for the sake of her precious eldest son. The Grand Princess of Hui'an's family, consisting of dozens of people, would inevitably make a mistake.
If she bites you, things will get complicated.
Just as Gan Qiongying was frowning in worry, she finally spotted Wen Xueling mixed in with the crowd.
She looked anxious and was staring intently at Zhongli Zhengzhen, yet she managed to refrain from intervening in the fight.
Logically, she should have gone up by now!
Gan Qiongying quickly bypassed the crowd, pushed through the layers of people, and stood next to Wen Xueling. She put her arm around Wen Xueling's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Your sweetheart has been beaten like this. They've both lost their minds. Why are you still standing here watching?"
Gan Qiongying continued, "Go! Only you can dissuade them now. If you go up and successfully dissuade them, you'll be a great hero!"
Seeing that Wen Xueling was hesitating, Gan Qiongying said again, "You don't like Zhongli Zhengzhen anymore? He's obviously no match for the Regent. If you're any later, he'll have his throat slit by the Regent!"
Wen Xueling's small face scrunched up; she genuinely wanted to step forward and mediate the fight.
But soon, she pulled her foot back. It wasn't that she hadn't tried to persuade him; she had already tried to persuade him when Zhongli was kicked in the chest.
Zhongli Zhengzhen glanced back at her then, but not only did he not heed her advice, that glance was like ice water, making Wen Xueling feel cold all over, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
Moreover, Wen Xueling recalled that at the birthday banquet, when Gan Qiongying was pressing her relentlessly, Zhong Lizheng hadn't said a single word in her defense.
So now Wen Xueling is biting her lips so hard she's practically bleeding, but she hasn't rushed out to mediate like she did in the story.
Gan Qiongying was still trying to persuade Wen Xueling to go up in various ways, but she was interrupted by Wen Xueling calling her "Princess Duanrong".
Wen Xueling stared at Gan Qiongying with eyes that seemed to see right through her, her face seemingly saying: You go ahead and do it, I'm not going to.
“Princess Duanrong,” Wen Xueling said slowly, her eyes innocent, “I’m still lame, have you forgotten? You are the most suitable person to go up and mediate the fight.”
Gan Qiongying: "......"
When did this little girl secretly grow a brain?
Gan Qiongying glared at her, wanting to say that it was supposed to be you who went first, that's how the plot is supposed to go first, what are you hesitating for now, the female lead!
Gan Qiongying had no idea that it was because of her previous actions that Wen Xueling was unable to dance at the birthday banquet, and thus failed to win the hearts of those who admired her.
The reason Wen Xueling dared to step in and mediate the fight at this point in the story is because the Regent had already extended an olive branch to her after the birthday banquet.
It was only after the birthday banquet that Zhong Li Zhengzhen revealed his love to Wen Xueling.
So when the Regent and Zhongli were actually fighting in the story, Wen Xueling dared to rush out to mediate, because she was trying to persuade two people who admired her.
As a result, Gan Qiongying completely destroyed that part of the story, so how could Wen Xueling dare to make a move now?
Seeing that Wen Xueling was not moving, Gan Qiongying anxiously looked at the two people fighting fiercely on the field. It was clear that the two people would not stop until the other was dead.
As the crowd erupted in another uproar, Zhongli Zhengzhen had a large hole stabbed in his leg by the Regent, and the Regent almost had his kidneys chopped off by Zhongli Zhengzhen.
Gan Qiongying turned to look at Wen Xueling beside her again.
"Why aren't you up yet?!"
With the Regent injured, Kou Ning'an is going to go crazy. What will happen to Princess Hui'an?
Gan Qiongying wanted Princess Hui'an's help, but she definitely didn't want her to face the Kou family's behemoth that could capsize Nanzhao with her frail and elderly body!
Wen Xueling also looked at Gan Qiongying, and was so frightened by her gaze that she felt a chill run down her spine.
Gan Qiongying suddenly touched her head, then grabbed the back of her neck and lifted her forward like a puppy. She pushed away the arms of the guards protecting the crowd and, with a little more force, shoved Wen Xueling out.
Go for it, heroine!
We have to go, whether we want to or not!
The protagonist's halo is no joke; she really has to break through this situation.
As Gan Qiongying pushed the person out, she shouted amidst the chaos, "Go! Tell your two husbands to stop hitting each other!"
Wen Xueling cried out in surprise and fell into the middle of the field, staggering a few steps before finally regaining her footing.
The uproar in the room instantly fell silent. She, who had suddenly entered, was completely stunned and turned around in horror to stare at Gan Qiongying.
Gan Qiongying raised her hand to cover her face and peered into the arena through the gaps between her fingers.
Sure enough, Wen Xueling was standing right in the middle, at a loss. The two who were fighting so fiercely stopped and turned their attention to her.
