Zhan Beihan sneered and said in a low voice: "You are really good at telling the bad guys first."
Xiao Lingyue frowned: "I didn't..."
"Xie Yurui has suffered a lot at your hands, right? Does she have the ability to use you as a target?" Zhan Beihan interrupted.
Xiao Lingyue said nothing.
Of course she was not worried about Xie Yurui, but Zhan Beihan.
If he wants to protect someone, no reason will work. People's hearts are always biased.
However, Zhan Beihan's favoritism was never on her side.
Zhan Beihan suddenly said: "Why haven't I heard you say before that you care so much about the concubine?"
She obviously said it herself. If he wanted to accept his concubine, he could do so. She didn't care.
It makes the man so angry.
What does this mean now?
Zhan Beihan said with a half-smile, "You go back on your word and slap yourself in the face?"
Xiao Lingyue retorted: "I didn't mind!"
"Really?" Zhan Beihan obviously didn't believe it, he mocked: "Then what do you mean by talking so much to me with your little mouth?"
Xiao Lingyue was speechless, and then sneered: "I never thought that His Highness King Yi would have a character that does not distinguish between public and private matters."
Zhan Beihan: "When will this king..."
"You will favor Xie Yurui, and more than once."
Xiao Lingyue said coldly: "No matter what she does wrong, you will not let her die. She doesn't even have to pay too much. Just like last time, you grounded her and released her within two days."
Already."
"How dare you say that!" Zhan Beihan glared at her angrily, "If you don't make me angry, will I let her go?"
It's not just her mouth that makes people angry to death.
Xiao Lingyue said calmly: "Isn't this a lack of distinction between public and private affairs?"
Zhan Beihan: "..."
"No matter what the reason, Xie Yurui never paid any price. This is what I have seen with my own eyes."
Xiao Lingyue looked at Zhan Beihan: "You have been in the army all year round, and you should know very well that any rule in the military camp is invalidated if someone violates it without being punished.
The same goes for the palace.
Disloyalty once, disloyalty a hundred times!
If you can favor Xie Yurui once, you can favor Xie Yurui a second time, a third time...
If I stay in Prince Yi's Mansion and have a conflict with Xie Yurui, I don't believe you will deal with it impartially.
Put it this way, do you understand?"
Xiao Lingyue had already seen clearly.
The issue between her and Zhan Beihan has never been about the concubine.
It's a matter of mutual trust.
Zhan Beihan used to be partial to Xie Yurui, but Xiao Lingyue was a person who couldn't get sand into her eyes. Her trust was very precious, and once it was broken, it would be difficult to restore it.
At least now, she can't trust Zhan Beihan. If she and Xie Yurui conflict again, which side will he take?
Isn't it the same with Zhan Beihan?
Does he trust Xiao Lingyue?
Never.
Both of them were very suspicious, and neither of them could let down their guard against the other.
