Zhou Changle slapped Shangguan Hongye in the face.
His whole body froze.
Cang Qiao's slap was very hard, and the punishment was so long, but he did it in a measured way——
Shangguan Hongye's head was throbbing and his mouth was bleeding, but there was almost no red mark on his face. Shangguan Hongye had no choice but to complain to the emperor.
But Zhou Changle was a pretty young lady, and this slap directly left a slap mark on Shangguan Hongye's face.
Ming Lanruo looked at the slap marks on his face and really wanted to laugh. Now, it's good. Today, he scraped his ears from left to right, and his face became symmetrical.
Shangguan Hongye was originally in a slightly better mood, but this slap instantly aroused his violent temper in his heart - who the hell dares to hit him?!
What kind of prince does he think he is?
He wanted to slap him back with his backhand, but when he raised his hand, he saw Zhou Changlese taking a step back in panic and looking at him.
Concerned about the palace people around him, he finally endured it and forcibly retracted his hand.
He pinched Zhou Changle's shoulder with a sinister look: "Princess, are you crazy?"
Zhou Changle originally wanted to hit Ming Lanruo, but mistakenly hit Shangguan Hongye.
She was originally panicked and scared, but Shangguan Hongye's raised hand just now and the anger in his eyes now seemed to eat her up, which immediately made Zhou Changle feel extremely uncomfortable.
She bit her lip and looked at Shangguan Hongye angrily and aggrievedly: "My lord, do you want to beat me because of this bitch? I am your true concubine, and you said you respect me at all times!"
Ming Lanruo would not spoil her and said coldly: "I am your majesty's personal equal wife. I have my own imperial palace and am your equal. Princess Qin had better think carefully before speaking."
Zhou Changle froze. Ever since the night Shangguan Hongye and Ming Lanruo got married, she had asked Shangguan Hongye to come back. As of today, Shangguan Hongye hardly goes to Ming Concubine's house. He is very treating her newlywed cousin.
Beloved.
She had almost forgotten Ming Lanruo's status as a common wife. Even everyone in the family explained that Lanruo was just a wife of the King of Qin and was very lowly.
Zhou Changle glared at Ming Lanruo hatefully: "Are you worthy of talking to me?!"
She was not originally such a person who would take action without knowing the importance of things. However, Shangguan Hongye accompanied Ming Lanruo to see Emperor Ming today, which exposed her original dream of deceiving herself.
But why?
Why on earth can that kind of dirty woman who has been married several times in a row be on an equal footing with me?!
Zhou Changle shouted angrily: "You are a ruined thing. You didn't even get through the door of Prince Qin's palace. The prince didn't even consummate your marriage. You really think you are nothing!"
"Pa!" A slap, this time it was Shangguan Hongye who couldn't bear it and slapped Zhou Changle, completely wiping out her words.
"Have you had enough trouble? Where is this place? This is my father's palace!" Shangguan Hongye glared at Zhou Changle with anger and annoyance.
Originally, because of how tolerant and caring the Zhou family was to his cousin after growing up together for many years, he didn't even go to his concubine.
But when she finally convinced her father that he controlled Ming Lanruo, she came to cause trouble?
Zhou Changle was beaten and took two steps back. He covered his face in disbelief and looked at Shangguan Hongye: "Your Majesty... cousin, you actually hit me for that bad woman who harmed my aunt, father, and brother.
,Are you crazy!"
Shangguan Hongye looked coldly and looked at the maid next to Zhou Changle with a sinister look: "Go and take your princess back. The weather is bad and your princess is not clear-headed!"
Now, the uncle who was the Marquis of Zhou Wu had his limbs mutilated by Cang Qiao, and the brother-in-law, who was a major general, was imprisoned because the Mingchun Lake sent assassins to ambush Ming Lanruo and the Xu family and Miss Mo family.
The Zhou family is now barely supported by two other cousins who are still at the border. Zhou Changle doesn't know how to keep a low profile and still talks so arrogantly!
"Yes!" The maids Zhou Changle brought with him today were from Shangguan Hongye, and they did not dare to disobey their prince's orders.
They immediately came up and grabbed Zhou Changle: "Princess, let's go."
"I went to the palace almost every other day to take care of my mother. That woman hurt my mother miserably, but you just treated me like this..." Zhou Changle's face turned pale with anger, and his eyes were full of resentment.
Ming Lanruo said coldly: "Your Majesty, you'd better watch her mouth carefully. The confinement of the mother is your Majesty's intention. Does the princess resent your Majesty?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Changle's face turned pale and he shouted angrily at her: "Shut up!"
"Cover the princess's mouth and send her back to her home for medical treatment!" Shangguan Hongye said angrily again.
Sure enough, several maids raised their hands and covered Zhou Changle's mouth, forcing her to leave.
Ming Lanruo looked at Shangguan Hongye with gloating: "You have taken good care of your little cousin, but now the Zhou family can't protect her."
In her previous life, Zhou Changle relied on the favor of the Zhou family and Queen Zhou to do evil. She tortured many of the concubines in Prince Qin's palace to death. If there was a young lady outside who looked at Shangguan Hongye a few more times, she could have that young lady harmed.
Hang yourself innocently after gains and losses.
If it weren't for the fact that she still needed Shangguan Hongye to compete with the prince, she would have used this idiot Zhou Changle to bring down the Zhou family, which is now in turmoil!
Shangguan Hongye looked at Ming Lanruo with a complicated and cold expression: "Are you gloating about others' misfortune? Don't forget, we are in the same boat now!"
The current situation of the Zhou family can almost be said to have been brought about by Ming Lanruo. Even the empress's imprisonment was inseparable from her.
He should hate her to the core, but deep down in his heart, he admires her more. She can turn the tables against the wind to such an extent. His mind and means cannot be underestimated.
Ming Lanruo said calmly: "As long as the people around you don't do stupid things to disturb me, I will naturally not take action casually."
Shangguan Hongye said coldly: "Then please see the governor of Dongchang. You can also see his malice towards me!"
Is it just his woman who is causing trouble for her? Her godfather is so vicious and cruel, why doesn't she care?!
Shangguan Hongye continued to say rudely: "Anyway, if you take action casually, don't blame me for being rude!"
Choking like this, he held her slender wrist again.
"What are you doing!" Ming Lanruo frowned.
Shangguan Hongye said coldly: "Father has sent someone here."
Sure enough, when Ming Lanruo caught a glimpse of Emperor Ming's servants and her father-in-law coming over, her heart skipped a beat.
Eunuch He said with a strange expression: "Your Majesty ordered that His Highness King Qin and Concubine Ming will stay at Qingluan Hall tonight, and Concubine Xian will entertain them both."
This was a weird thing to say, but everyone understood it——
Zhou Changle's howling just now exposed the fact that she and Shangguan Hongye had not consummated their marriage, and the Emperor Ming heard it. In anger, he ordered the concubine Xian to build a palace to help them consummate the marriage on the spot.
Ming Lanruo's face turned green: "This...this..."
Zhou Changle, this damn troublemaker! She can't get around her!
Shangguan Hongye couldn't help but cast her a malicious glance: "Oh, retribution is coming."
Asking her to ridicule him, he laughed in a good mood: "Yes, I accept the order."
For the first time, he felt that his father's will was really wonderful, and inexplicably he had a secret expectation - expectation that he and she could consummate their marriage tonight.
If she really belonged to him, would she not reject him thousands of miles away?
