CHAPTER 206 (1): DISGUSTED BY HIM
âThis Emperor represents the royal will, and my words cannot be wrong.You know exactly what Ning Anlian has done. She should have been the one dancing at the banquet, but Prince Yun, you had to find a replacement after she was injured. Moreover, this matter was even exposed. How can it be the fault of this Emperor? Yun Ruofeng, you must bear the responsibility for Nanzhao losing face in front of everyoneâ
âIt is a custom for the Eldest Imperial Princess to dance each year. This Prince didnât think that an accident was going to happen in the middle of it. This Prince admits that I havenât handled this matter properly.â
âWhen the Eldest Imperial Princessâ foot was injured, you shouldnât have looked for someone to replace her. It was a fraud! Even if the Jinghong dance was cancelled, no one would say anything. This is because there is nobody besides this Emperorâs Imperial Elder Sister who could dance so charmingly. No matter who you chose to replace her, it wouldâve been useless! Prince Yun, you should clearly understand who it was that wanted to hurt Nanzhaoâs reputation!â
Although Ning Lianchen said that, he couldnât help but admit to himself that the woman who had danced today was just as good as his Imperial Elder Sister. The only difference is that the woman on stage today was a stranger.
Compared to Ning Lianchenâs rage, Yun Ruofengâs face was very calm. He maintained his gentle expression, and spoke slowly without rushing or getting angry.
However, this only served to fan the flames in Ning Lianchenâs heart. Yun Ruofeng is good enough at pretending to fool the entire world, but he canât fool me!
âYour Majesty, this Prince didnât do everything perfectly. But when you criticised the only Imperial Elder Sister you have left, in front of everyone, how laughable is it? People from other countries will think that the imperial household of Nanzhao isnât united. Now that every country is getting ready to make trouble, how will everyone look upon Nanzhao?â
âAnd that is exactly what I am saying you should worry about, Prince Yun. If you didnât arrange the dance, then maybe nothing would have happened.â
Because they were so busy antagonising each other, they didnât notice Su Xi-er lurking around in the dark. She had come sneaking in so that she could see Lianchen again, but didnât think that he would still be getting scolded and threatened so late at night.
She felt her heart wrenched in pain. That is my dearest family.
Although Yun Ruofeng acted gentle and kind, she knew that there was a wolf living in his heart. His heart may be even more vicious than a wolfâs.
Su Xi-er accidentally bumped into a shelf next to her while being lost in her emotions, making a small noise.
âWho is it?â Yun Ruofeng called loudly and stared at the direction where the sound came from.
Ning Lianchenâs face was confused. This is the repose palace; there canât be anyone else here.
âWho is it?â Yun Ruofeng stood up this time, walking in the direction where the sound had come from.
âMaybe you are hearing things?â Ning Lianchen suggested. He didnât want Yun Ruofeng casually walking around in his repose palace.
But Yun Ruofeng only spared him a glance before ignoring him.
Just as Su Xi-er felt Yun Ruofengâs footsteps approaching, she revealed herself.
The first sentence was said by Yun Ruofeng, and the latter was what Ning Lianchen asked in his mind.
Neither of them had imagined that the person would be Su Xi-er.
She laughed and pretended to be awkward. âI walked through the wrong palace door and came here accidentally. I couldnât come out immediately when I heard the two of you talking, so I could only wait until you were finished.â
