"Your Highness, don't be impulsive." Eunuch Liu stepped forward to persuade him.
When such a big thing happens, you always have to give some advice. It is not child's play to grant or cancel the engagement.
His Royal Highness has never been a person who acts impulsively. He has never seen this overwhelming anger before. Looking at the woman in his arms, this is the so-called anger that turns beauty into beauty.
Zhao Shi's face was as calm as ever. He glanced coldly and said, "I don't need you to teach me how to do things."
The voice was low and cold, and the hidden edge that was usually restrained was looming.
Eunuch Liu fell silent for a moment and watched him leave with his arms in his arms.
Eunuch Liu had also heard a little bit about what had just happened. Logically speaking, it was only natural for the Princess of Xiangyang, as the concubine of the future princess to punish her husband, to give her power.
The bad thing is that this woman obviously has a lot of weight in the prince's heart, and the princess's humiliation today is too much, so she will steal the chicken but lose the rice.
Eunuch Liu shook his head, "Go and tell the princess quickly that the prince is going to break off the engagement, so that she can be mentally prepared."
The young apprentice was trembling and did not dare to move. If he spread such news to the princess, he was afraid that he would be implicated and would not be able to gain any benefits.
Eunuch Liu got angry when he saw that his apprentice had no future, and kicked him hard, "What are you afraid of?! Go quickly! Be careful, I'll beat you to death."
The young apprentice hurriedly went to find the princess.
Sheng Ling is currently leading the ladies of the aristocratic family to enjoy the flowers. The flowers in the imperial garden are blooming just right, and the flowers are fragrant and fragrant.
Sheng Ling broke off a branch of plum and fiddled with it for a few times before losing interest. She threw it away and stepped on it with her boots. As she walked, she asked, "Is Mingzhu still kneeling?"
The palace maid replied: "She can't run away if someone is watching her."
Sheng Ling was in a much more relaxed mood and enjoyed everything she saw. "She has not been allowed to get up for less than three hours."
Ming Yuan couldn't help but snicker, "The county master has a kind heart. If it were someone else, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as kneeling as a punishment."
Others agreed, "Yes, such a shameless concubine would have been sold to a brothel long ago in our Duke's mansion."
"Isn't her mother also from a brothel? Maybe she would be happy to inherit her mother's inheritance..."
Halfway through the words, several people laughed.
The spring is bright, and the sunshine at noon is getting more and more intense, making those who are exposed to it almost unable to open their eyes.
Someone asked in a low voice: "His Royal Highness will not be angry if he knows about it, right?"
Sheng Ling's good mood was completely ruined by these words, and everyone stopped talking.
Sheng Ling said: "So what if I know? Will the prince brother still stand up for her?"
The man smiled coquettishly, obviously not daring to offend her, "What the princess said was that I was worrying too much."
Sheng Ling lost her mood and continued to wander in the imperial garden, about to send these hypocritical noble ladies out of the palace.
Eunuch Liu's young apprentice asked around and found this place, and hurried over, sweating profusely.
The little eunuch wore a hat on his head. He lowered his head slightly to block the scene in front of him. He did not dare to raise his eyes to see the princess's face. He was trembling and couldn't even speak, "Princess... His Highness the Crown Prince, he... he... "
Sheng Ling clenched her fingers and said, "What are you hesitating about? If you have anything to say, just say it."
The little eunuch thought that if he stretched his head out, it would be a knife or if he shrank his head, he could not avoid it. He closed his eyes tightly and knelt down, "His Royal Highness just entered the palace and lost his temper and took Miss Mingzhu away."
Sheng Ling's face turned green and white, and she gritted her teeth and said, "She really got an advantage."
He had only been kneeling for less than half an hour, and his knees were not broken.
The little eunuch never expected that the princess would be so vicious, so he stammered: "His Royal Highness, you still let people... let people..."
"Tell me clearly, what do you want me to do?"
"Have someone go to Xiangyang to intercept the marriage decree."
As soon as he finished speaking, everything around him became still.
Sheng Ling's eyes widened, and she tightly grasped the maid beside her with both hands. The blood on her face was gone, and she was pale and pale. Her eyes seemed to be black, and she staggered back two steps. She couldn't help it. Believing and angrily, he asked: "What did you say?"
The young eunuch didn't dare to hide it, "The prince wants to break off the engagement."
Sheng Ling shook her head repeatedly, unwilling to believe it, and muttered, "Impossible, this is impossible."
Zhao Shi's move undoubtedly put her face under his feet. Breaking off the engagement was a great shame and humiliation for her, not to mention that he did it for such a cheap concubine? !
For a moment, everyone's eyes turned towards her.
Sheng Ling was utterly disgraced by these surprised and sympathetic looks. Her eyes instantly turned red, and her eye sockets were sore and swollen, filled with wet water. She raised her face stubbornly and pushed back the tears, " I’m going to find the Queen Mother.”
Mingzhu was just a little dizzy, but she hadn't really fainted yet. The strong smell of the man surrounded her whole body, and his hands, which were harder than pliers, held her tightly, and the sharpness was clearly revealed, making the whole person look a bit scary.
Mingzhu stayed quietly in his arms. When she was carried into the carriage, she could have curled up in a corner.
Zhao Shiqi's head hurt. He rubbed his brows and glanced at her coldly. There was no expression on his face, "If the princess asks you to enter the palace, just go in. Will she ask you to die tomorrow?" Are you going to die obediently too?"
His tone was extremely cold, flat and without any ups and downs, but it sounded much scarier than when he was usually angry.
Mingzhu endured the stinging pain on her knees, lowered her eyes slightly, and said softly: "She is the princess."
Zhao Shi's face became even more ugly when he was choked by these words. He clenched his fingers into fists and the veins on his wrists popped out. He said coldly: "You should be locked up in Wangyue Pavilion."
Mingzhu was still very aggrieved. She had been humiliated from beginning to end by his future wife, and now she had to be brutally educated by him.
She lowered her eyelashes to block her red eyes and stopped talking.
Zhao Shi was still angry, his face tense. When he arrived, he saw her weak body half-kneeling on the ground motionless, unable to hear a sound. She seemed to have fainted, but it looked more like she had no movement at all.
"Do you know where the palace is? And you don't know who Sheng Ling is?"
"I know, she is your crown princess."
"That's not what I meant." Zhao Shi took a deep breath and gradually calmed down, "Forget it."
She hadn't been to the palace either, so he couldn't blame her.
Today he was too angry and frustrated, but after all he still cared, fearing that if he entered the palace late, she would be gone.
The reason why Zhao Shi agreed to marry Sheng Ling was of course not only because of her family background, but more importantly because she knew how to advance and retreat.
Zhao Shi did not expect that Sheng Ling's methods would be used on Mingzhu so quickly.
Mingzhu hugged her knees and huddled in the corner of the carriage, her head hanging down. Her long black hair blocked most of her face, and the expression on her face could not be seen.
Zhao Shi's heart softened and he sighed slightly, "Look up."
Mingzhu refused.
Zhao Shi leaned forward, pinched her chin with his thin and strong finger bones, and forced her to raise her face.
Soft, white, beautiful and pitiful.
Zhao Shi said helplessly: "How can you become a rabbit with just two words?"
Mingzhu shook her head and said, "I'm fine."
Although she was indeed sad, she didn't want to tell Zhao Shi.
It's not just the Princess of Xiangyang and the ladies watching the show today who underestimate her status. The same is true for Zhao Shi.
Zhao Shi was silent for a few seconds and whispered: "Lift up your skirt and let me see your knees."
Mingzhu hugged her legs harder, "It doesn't hurt."
Zhao Shi stared at her for a long time, not believing what she said and not bothering to say more to her, so he directly pulled her over and lifted the hem of her skirt above her knees.
The girl's calves were slender and white, but her knees were red.
It was red and swollen, and some of it had turned into serious bruises.
Zhao Shi's eyes turned cold, and he silently found the ointment for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, lowered his head, and applied the ointment on her injury with a focused and serious expression.
After taking the medicine, Zhao Shitong said to the guards outside the carriage, "Go to another hospital."
Mingzhu became anxious upon hearing this. If she returned to the other courtyard today, all her previous plans would be in vain.
She subconsciously grabbed his arm and said, "Your Highness, take me back to Ming's house."
Zhao Shi obviously didn't want to.
Mingzhu raised the corners of her lips and smiled at him, "I will come back after the Lantern Festival. I will not go anywhere from now on. I will only watch over you, Your Highness."
Her soft accent and waxy voice are delicate and irresistible.
Zhao Shi blocked her eyes with his hands, and then changed his words and said to his bodyguard: "Change the route to the Ming Mansion."
He liked her watery, clean and bright eyes, but he was also afraid of being addicted to them and unable to extricate himself.
Zhao Shi didn't pay attention to other people's gazes. When he arrived at the gate of Ming Mansion, he personally carried her into the yard and put her on the bed. She was not allowed to walk around until her knee was healed.
Zhao Shi settled her down, turned around and left the house. Biying was already kneeling outside to apologize.
Zhao Shi stood quietly under the covered bridge with his hands behind his back. After listening to Biying's words, his face was expressionless, "Go down and receive the punishment yourself. Don't teach her to see it. There will be no next time."
Biying wiped her tears and said, "I know this."
Zhao Shi stood outside for a long time, the idea of marrying her vaguely emerged again, but was suppressed again.
His most important thoughts are on Mingzhu, because he can control her life without any effort. Even if he doesn't marry her, she has no ability to leave him.
After a while, people from the palace came to report the news. Zhao Shi just didn't have time to ask, but now that he's free, he has plenty of time to sort things out.
"What did Sheng Ling do and say to her in the palace today? Tell me everything. You are not allowed to miss a word."
The spies didn't even dare to omit details, never added any extravagance, and reported the truth truthfully.
When Zhao Shi heard the word "concubine", the expression on her face was very ugly, and when she heard her mother's identity was brought out and ridiculed, the anger that she had just suppressed started to burn again.
"anything else?"
"The princess asked Miss Mingzhu to perform and dance, and even kicked the girl very hard."
Zhao Shi slowly raised his eyes, his eyes filled with an unprecedented cruelty. Sheng Ling, no matter who she is, dares to humiliate her like this.
Mingzhu really made him angry. He couldn't bear to hurt her. How dare Sheng Ling kick her
Zhao Shi slowly closed his eyes and slowly opened his eyelids. He said lightly: "If it's too late to block the marriage decree, forget it."
The spy was stunned.
Zhao Shi's expression has returned to normal, and he still sounds as gentle as before, "Send another divorce document."
Marriage is granted on the front foot.
He immediately broke off the engagement.
It would also give Sheng Ling a taste of being humiliated.
The people below are not surprised either.
The master protects the shortcomings.
I'm afraid the master himself doesn't even realize that Miss Mingzhu is his enemy and cannot be touched.
