Hearing this, Shen Xihe was puzzled.
Even if Munuha really escaped from the city, Xiao Huayong would not be so angry.
Zhenzhu thought about it carefully before saying, "Princess, His Highness might be jealous."
"Jealous?" Shen Xihe was even more confused. What kind of jealousy was he feeling
"Princess... painting for another man?" Pearl's words were a bit hard to explain. She felt that the Crown Prince was jealous for some unknown reason, but her intuition told her that this was the reason.
Shen Xihe rarely showed such a surprised look. She looked at Zhenzhu and Hongyu. They both thought that this was a sufficient reason. She didn't know what expression to make to digest this news.
Is she painting for another man
If he's jealous of this, he'll be envious to death in the future!
She didn't know how many people she had painted. When she and her brother painted together, she couldn't even count the number of men she had painted.
"Your Highness just... cares too much about the princess..." Hongyu spoke dryly for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Heh." Shen Xihe sneered and turned to go to the garden.
The garden in the palace was full of green in spring, occasionally dotted with a few kinds of early spring flowers, adding a touch of vitality. Looking at it, she calmed down. Just when she was in a better mood, she met someone she didn't want to see.
Princess Anling has hated Shen Xihe ever since she was slapped by him last time, but she has experienced how powerful Shen Xihe is and she dare not go against him. She turned around and ran away, but when she thought to herself that she is a princess and Shen Xihe is just a princess from another family, why should she give in to him!
She walked towards Shen Xihe angrily. The road was very wide. When Shen Xihe saw her, he slightly bent his knees and bowed according to etiquette.
Then he stood up and looked at his own beautiful scenery, as if she didn't exist at all.
Princess Anling, who had already walked a distance away, turned back unwillingly. She stared at Shen Xihe as he approached, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Yangling was harmed by you!"
Shen Xihe slowly opened his eyelids and looked at her calmly: "Princess Anling, one slap is not enough, I can give you another one."
"You - you are so outrageous!" Princess Anling was so angry that her face turned red.
"Princess Anling, if you say another word of nonsense, I will take you to find His Majesty and let His Majesty judge the right and wrong and whether Princess Yangling was killed by me." Shen Xihe was calm and indifferent.
Princess Anling thought about the last time Shen Xihe dragged Shen Yingruo to run to His Majesty and made the first complaint. She had no evidence now, and if Shen Xihe really went there, His Majesty would not believe it, which would only make His Majesty even more annoyed with her.
"Yang Ling said more than once before she died. If she was killed one day, it must be you. You know she asked Chang Ling to deal with you!" Princess An Ling was unwilling to give up. "Shen Xihe, just wait. I will find evidence..."
"Pa—" Without waiting for Princess Anling to finish her words, Shen Xihe raised his palm and slapped Princess Anling in the face.
Princess Anling had only been slapped twice in her life, both by Shen Xihe. She was extremely angry: "I will fight you—"
Princess Anling tripped over Zhenzhu and fell to the ground. Princess Anling only brought two palace maids with her, both of whom were restrained by Hongyu. Before they could even open their mouths to shout, they were knocked unconscious by Hongyu's knife.
Shen Xihe originally chose a quiet and remote place, but she didn't expect to meet Princess Anling.
