Chapter 66: A Face Full of Hatred

At the Regent’s Palace, Dongli Lucang had just dismounted from his horse when Mingyi rushed forward and said, “Master, it’s not good. The Princess Consort went to the peony flower festival hosted by the Grand Princess.”

“Why would she go to a flower festival?” Dongli Lucang was puzzled. He knew about the flower festival hosted by the Grand Princess Dongli Yue, it was a disguised matchmaking event.

But Yunzhi already had a betrothal, why would she attend?

“This subordinate investigated, it was the Princess Langhua who deliberately sent an invitation, it is said that she wants to make the Princess Consort look bad at the flower festival.”

“Dare to make my Princess Consort look bad, who gave her the guts?” Dongli Lucang sneered, turned around and got back on his horse, saying, “Go, let’s go to the Grand Princess’s mansion.”

Anyone who dared to touch his people, they would regret it.

At the Grand Princess’s mansion, Shi Qingyun stopped Yunzhi, saying, “Regent Princess, you harmed Lang Hua and want to leave, do you think my Grand Princess’s mansion is just any place?”

Shi Qingyun had the air of not letting her leave unless she gave an explanation, making Yunzhi laugh.

She glanced at him calmly, seeing that he bore some resemblance to the Princess Langhua, knowing that he must be the Princess Langhua’s brother.

“Shi Gongzi, you can eat more food, but you can’t talk nonsense. You say I harmed the Princess Langhua, where is the evidence? Even the Dali Temple needs evidence to judge a case, you wouldn’t want to just accuse me without any proof, would you?”

“I tell you, I will not bear this crime. You reap what you sow, you must bear the consequences of your own actions. The Princess Langhua is reaping what she sowed, it has nothing to do with me. I advise you to get your facts straight before you speak, otherwise don’t blame me for not giving the Grand Princess face.”

“Such a sharp tongue, you clearly harmed Lang Hua, yet you refuse to admit it. Evidence? My word is the evidence. You must give the Grand Princess’s mansion an explanation today, otherwise don’t blame me for being impolite.”

“How dare you be impolite to my Princess?” A cold voice rang out behind them, making the two startled. Turning around, they saw Dongli Lucang standing behind them, they didn’t know when he arrived.

Seeing Dongli Lucang, Shi Qingyun was like a mouse seeing a cat, immediately kneeling down, saying, “Qingyun greets the Regent King.”

Dongli Lucang glanced at Shi Qingyun indifferently, but did not let him get up, instead, he focused his attention on Yunzhi, asking, “Zhizhi, are you alright?”

“I’m fine, why did you come?” Yunzhi’s face broke into a smile. Although she could handle this kind of thing herself, she was still happy that Dongli Lucang came.

This showed that he really cared about her, otherwise he wouldn’t have specially come to the Grand Princess’s mansion. Moreover, judging from his appearance, he must have just come back from outside, he hadn’t even changed his clothes.

“I heard you came to the flower festival, so I came to take a look.” Dongli Lucang saw Yunzhi’s smile and a faint smile appeared on his face. He looked at Yunzhi with gentle eyes and asked, “Zhizhi, this mansion is full of smoke and mirrors, it’s not suitable for you to stay, let’s go home.”

“Okay.” Yunzhi was not interested in this so-called flower festival in the first place, and now that this kind of thing happened, she guessed the flower festival wouldn’t be able to continue.

“Let’s go.”

Dongli Lucang took Yunzhi’s hand and left, he never looked at the kneeling Shi Qingyun again, nor did he let him get up.

By the time the Grand Princess received the news and rushed over, Dongli Lucang and Yunzhi had already left, leaving only her son standing there with a face full of hatred.
