"Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding. Your subordinate will take his leave now." Shangguan Wan'er didn't bother to kowtow and headed straight for the exit.0
When Shangguan Wan'er left, the palace maid at the side couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, didn't you plan to let Highest-Ranking Imperial Concubine Yang deal with Prince of Yan? Then why did he stop Qing Luan's guards from helping him? "Could it be that he's trying to show good will to Prince of Yan?"
The Queen looked at her. Do you think I'm willing to help that little bastard? "
The palace maid was shocked and whispered: "Then why did the Queen help Prince of Yan?"
The empress snorted and said indifferently, "That little bastard humiliated me many times, and even caused me to be punished by the Human Emperor. How can I let this debt end? I will make him lose his reputation! Otherwise, how can you make up for the hatred in my heart! "
Elder Maidservant said in confusion, "But it's not bad for Prince of Yan to stop them from leaving. It's only good for him!"
The empress said coldly, "Aren't your standards too low? If he let Qing Luan guard out now, he would definitely be able to suppress Shen Muqing. However, that was just a small fight. What kind of lesson would he be taught?
I'm going to bleed until he's scared. You see, Highest-Ranking Imperial Concubine Yang is not an easy person to deal with. Even without Qing Luan's protection, she would go and find trouble with Shen Muqing. "
The maid blinked and said, "But wouldn't Highest-Ranking Imperial Concubine Yang be guilty in that case? The royalty has decreed that the imperial harem should not interfere with matters of the outside world, let alone dealing with a prince like Prince of Yan, who is now a prince! "
The Empress replied, "That's right. Highest-Ranking Imperial Concubine Yang is the only one who matters. If she were to make a move, it would definitely shake the world. This time, Highest-Ranking Imperial Concubine Yang is also the one who's venting her frustration."
The maid's mind went blank and could only say, "Your Highness is wise. If I were a servant, I would definitely not be so considerate."
Just then, a palace maid walked in and said respectfully, "Your Highness, the palace sent a message outside saying that due to Prince of Yan's struggle for popularity, he sealed the Manqing House under Prince of Sui's name and even apprehended Prince of Sui and imprisoned him within the Brocaded Robe Guard."
Elder Maidservant glared at him. "What?"
The empress was also taken aback. What audacity! Then the Queen said, "Alright! Good! Shen Muqing was unbridled! Great! I'd like to see how you'll turn the tables this time?
"Qing Luan, inform Qing Luan of my orders. If anyone is not allowed to leave the harem and cause such a commotion, I will naturally throw a bucket of oil and add fuel to the fire."
Elder Maidservant pursed her lips. Although she was unwilling, she said, "This servant will handle it right away."
On the other side, Shen Muqing was unclear, but the Queen intervened to prevent her from fighting Highest-Ranking Imperial Concubine Yang head on. After leaving the Manqing House, he brought Shang Xiufaang back to the Wu Steel Manor and chatted casually.
Shang Xiufaang came from an extraordinary background, and her life experience was marvelous. Traveling across many countries had made her view of the world much higher than ordinary women. Even in front of Shen Muqing, her manner of speech was casual and relaxed.
Shen Muqing had an extraordinary manner, he was a man of two lifetimes, and things happened as he pleased. Especially some recent events, Shang Xiufaang had never even heard of them. From time to time, he would laugh coquettishly, burying his good impression of Shen Muqing in the depths of his heart.
When he was domineering, he was like a king, while when he was relaxed, he was like a gentleman. Different personalities caused Shen Muqing to become both a god and a human, making Shang Xiufaang unable to stop.
