Chapter 317: Live or Die, Your Choice
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
For a moment, the murderous intent in the Misty Pavilion soared into the sky. The six men of the Liang family looked at Yu Wanqing with gazes as sharp as knives.
These six individuals came from the martial aristocratic Liang family. Even the younger ones among them exuded an imposing aura they had learned from their elders. And now, they were all furious!
“Nanny Lin.” As Liu s.h.i.+mei’s elder, Liang Sheng spoke first with a cold expression, “Since Princess Ping’an said that this matter is related to the Crown Prince, should we invite the Crown Prince over to make a decision?”
Nanny Lin had seen the world by the Empress Dowager’s side. She could handle most things, but how could she dare to say ‘no’ to the matter in front of her? After listening to Lian Qiao’s statement, Princess Pingan did not refute it at all. It was clearly a fact that was set in stone. The matter of smas.h.i.+ng Liu s.h.i.+mei’s room was not considered a big deal, so the apology was over.
However, when it came to the harmony between the Crown Prince and King Dun Yu, and the reputation of the royal daughter-in-law…
That would be a big deal!
This level was not something that a small nanny like her could take down. Nanny Lin made a decision. “This matter is indeed serious. 1 am unable to handle it and can only request the Crown Prince to come and settle it.”
She then turned to the crowd of onlookers and said, “I ask all the lords to wait for a while. When the Crown Prince arrives, you can serve as witnesses.”
The show was not over yet, and everyone was curious to see how this confrontation between Princess Ping’an and Liu s.h.i.+mei would end.
Thus, these people all chose a place to sit down and wait for the Crown Prince’s arrival.
After Liu s.h.i.+mei finished checking Yu Wanqing’s pulse, she asked Lian Qiao to take out the medicine box and gave Yu Wanqing a pill to eat.
Yu Wanqing was more useful alive than dead. Of course, she could not let Yu Wanqing die at Huangfu Lingyao’s feet.
The reason why he did not stop him was naturally to let Yu Wanqing suffer a little more, and also to let Huangfu Lingyao establish a little more power. Seeing him being so ruthless, others would think twice before challenging him! “You…” Yu Wanqing hesitated, not taking the medicine, and snorted, “Aren’t you trying to poison me while I’m vulnerable? You allowed this fool to beat me like this, and now you kindly offer me medicine to take?”
Liu s.h.i.+mei laughed coldly, “Live or die, it’s your choice I wouldn’t even bother poisoning you and dirtying my hands.”
After saying this, she tossed the pill and returned to her original position to sit down.
Yu Wanqing was indeed afraid of death, so her maidservant picked up the pill for her. After a moment of hesitation, she eventually swallowed it.
When Huangfu Lingyao saw Liu s.h.i.+mei sit down, he naturally stuck to her side. Not only was he especially close to her, but his face was also full of praise. “Wife, am 1 awesome?”
“Yes, Lingyao is the best!” Liu s.h.i.+mei nodded and caressed his head.
After receiving praise and touching his head, the silly dog’s face was filled with satisfaction. Where was the fiendish appearance from before?
This scene fell into the eyes of everyone, and the corners of some people’s lips twitched secretly.
The Silly Second Prince was truly a fool!
However, what was unexpected was that Liu s.h.i.+mei had accepted such a fiance and had really found a way to get along with him.
It seemed like she treated him like a silly son!
But they did not care about others’ opinions, acting like no one was watching. “Wife, have you had dinner?” Huangfu Lingyao asked again. “Are you hungry?” Liu s.h.i.+mei replied, “I’m a little hungry. Before dinner arrived, Princess Ping’an started to make trouble. I’m locked in my room and I don’t even dare to go out. Where can I get food?”
With a tone of grievance, she inadvertently stepped on Yu Wanqing with her words.
Huangfu Lingyao’s face turned darker as he looked at Yu Wanqing with a gaze that seemed to want to devour her.
The others also looked at Yu Wanqing.
To be honest, Princess Pingan’s current half-dead state was far more pitiful than Liu s.h.i.+mei’s.
But when everyone thought about it, Yu Wanqing deserved it.
They were all relatives of officials ranked fifth or higher. The relations.h.i.+ps between these young n.o.ble ladies were always delicate.
In this circle, there were no eternal friends, nor were there eternal enemies. There were only eternal interests.
Those close friends might not be genuinely close; it might all be driven by their family interests.
Once a family fell, all the friends around them might disappear instantly!
Moreover, Yu Wanqing always looked down on others, relying on her ident.i.ty as a princess to offend many people. Now, not even one person felt sympathetic towards her!
In fact, many of them were secretly calculating: even if Yu Wanqing might not die this time, her position as a candidate for the Crown Prince’s Consort was probably gone. Then…
Who would take that position? That would be a matter of contention.
As a result, there were naturally more people willing to testify for Liu s.h.i.+mei!
“The Crown Prince has arrived!”
