Previously, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was making noises about breaking off the engagement, and there was an uproar in the capital.
But for some unknown reason, the two families have not called off their engagement yet.
"It's nothing serious... I just met my third brother not long ago. He seemed to have something urgent, so he hurried down the mountain with a team of Dragon Scale Guards. Does Miss Shen know about this?"
King Xiang asked pointedly.
Xiao Lingyue was startled, Zhan Beihan suddenly went down the mountain?
how come?
Tomorrow is the official death of the late Queen.
Zhan Beihan is the Queen's legitimate son, and his status is different from other princes. At this juncture, how could he suddenly come down from the mountain and take the Dragon Scale Guard with him?
Could it be that something happened in the capital?
Xiao Lingyue was thinking secretly, but she felt Prince Xiang's probing gaze on her. She said calmly: "Your Highness is joking. Prince Yi has military affairs, how could I know?"
Prince Xiang said subconsciously: "But you and your third brother are not..."
Is the relationship close?
He was only halfway through his words, but he stopped in time and glanced at the young Marquis next to him.
Chu Yuanqi: "??"
"It's not what?" Xiao Lingyue asked in confusion.
Prince Xiang wanted to say it but couldn't. He kept winking at her.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Rulan came over at this moment. Seeing Prince Xiang's eyes that were still trying to speak, she glanced at Shen Wan and said with a smile, "I heard that Miss Shen and the young Marquis have been engaged since childhood. It’s a rare opportunity to meet, but His Highness and I are disturbing you.”
Prince Xiang's expression became even weirder.
Xiao Lingyue could hear the meaning behind Xiao Rulan's words, but it was getting late now. She was too lazy to waste time standing here and playing games with her, so she said: "Miss Xiao is joking, I should be the one who disturbed you and me." His Royal Highness Prince Xiang is the one. I have something else to do, so I will leave now."
Xiao Rulan's dignified smile froze for a moment: "...Okay, Miss Shen, please do."
"Stop being stunned and let's go." Xiao Lingyue glanced at Chu Yuanqi, walked around the two of them, and continued walking forward.
Chu Yuanqi was confused by King Xiang and hurriedly followed him.
Shen Yuting, who was not far away, saw her, her eyes were splitting, and she roared regardless: "Shen Wan! You bitch, you are the one who harmed me! Come back to me, and explain it to His Majesty. !You bitch!!”
"Kneel down and don't move!" The imperial guard held her knife at her, "Don't make any noise in front of the Buddhist temple. If you don't shut up."
Shen Yuting stared at Xiao Lingyue's figure with bloodshot eyes, unable to listen to the guards' words. She did not dare to move with the knife on her neck, but she was yelling hysterically.
The imperial guards soon became impatient and slapped her mouth hard with a knife, breaking all her teeth.
"Ah!!" Shen Yuting wailed and screamed, crawling on the ground.
The Imperial Guard kicked her, dragged her back to her original position by her hair, and said in a cold voice: "If you dare to make any noise again, you will stop using your mouth!"
Shen Yuting covered her mouth full of blood, trembling with fear.
not far away.
Xiao Lingyue didn't even look back and walked forward calmly.
"Tsk, tsk, it's so miserable." Chu Yuanqi looked back twice, and when he saw her calm look, he couldn't help but frown and said, "You are such a cruel woman, your father and sister are kneeling here. I was beaten and scolded like this in front of you, and you didn’t even blink your eyes?" Popular 『』
