Chapter 5: Wrestling the Crown as a Sign, Breaking Up with Zhan Wang En
A woman's intuition is never inaccurate.
Only then did Su Liyue feel that Shangguan Ruoning was capable of causing trouble, then she saw Shangguan Ruoning looking at Ye Cangming with affection and reluctance, "I could have stayed with the King of War for a long time, but I would happily be my concubine..."
At this point, her voice was slightly choked, and there was a bit of hidden sadness and bitterness in her eyes. She moved her gaze from Ye Canming to Su Liyue with reluctance, and pursed her lips slightly, "But since she is the princess,
My sister questioned me like this and thought I was such a cruel person, so I..."
After saying this, Shangguan Ruoning's eyes hardened, and he threw the phoenix crown in his hand to the ground with a loud "bang" sound.
Suddenly, the beautiful phoenix crown studded with gems fell apart, and the ground was covered with gems, making it as messy as this wedding.
As the phoenix crown was destroyed, Shangguan Ruoning's upright figure swayed slightly, as if it was she and not the phoenix crown who suffered the severe damage.
Seeing this, the maid beside her hurriedly helped Shangguan Ruoning, and then looked at Su Liyue angrily, "This is the phoenix crown that our lady spent five years making, and it was broken to pieces like this."
Yes, you..."
"Xiangqiao!" Shangguan Ruoning's voice was a bit sharp.
Xiangqiao, that is, the maid, heard the words and swallowed the rest of the words, but her face was still full of unwillingness and resentment.
Xiangqiao shut up, but the guests were shocked.
The phoenix crown just now has exquisite workmanship, novel style, and the overall appearance is very beautiful. Even if you only take a look at it, it is deeply memorable... But did Shangguan Ruoning spend five years making it?
This... is too affectionate and too pity, right?
When everyone showed regret and admiration, Shangguan Ruoning had just adjusted her emotions. She looked at Su Liyue with determination in her eyes, and her whole body was filled with the kind of arrogance unique to a noble lady, "I am here today.
By throwing the crown, I want to prove to you that I have no intention of coveting the position of princess."
It was as if Su Liyue's suspicions about her were all groundless and nonsense.
At this moment, Shangguan Ruoning had a sense of nobility that emerged from the mud but was not stained.
After finishing speaking, Shangguan Ruoning looked at Ye Cangming with red eyes, and said with regret, "Today's scene proves that I have no connection with the prince. I just ask the prince to believe me. I have practiced medicine for many years and saved people.
You can't do things like poisoning and murder."
When Su Liyue heard this, surprise flashed across her eyes.
Shangguan Ruoning is... throwing her crown to signal that she is severing her friendship with the King of War?
But this is wrong!
Although, her purpose today is to prevent Shangguan Ruoning from getting what he wants.
But according to common sense, shouldn't Shangguan Ruoning be forced by etiquette at this moment, temporarily compromise and stay as a concubine, serve tea to her, and then start all kinds of troubles, while she will take advantage of her tricks and wait for opportunities to avenge the original owner?
After all, the routine has always been like this.
And she was alone and helpless when she first arrived, so she couldn't poison people to death with a handful of poison from the beginning. If she went too far like that, in this era, it would be simply seeking death.
How could she want to die if she could live?
However, she never expected that Shangguan Ruoning would retreat as she spoke.
This is seriously inconsistent with her persona of waiting for the King of War for five years.
Could it be that because Shangguan Ruoning has such a high spirit, she won't marry someone who isn't the first wife?
If that were the case, then the so-called true love would be nothing more than a passing thought, and there would be no need to waste five years waiting.
After all, this is ancient times, and being unmarried at an advanced age is against secular norms.
When Su Liyue was thinking like this, she clearly felt unfriendly eyes from all directions.
Soon, some discussions reached Su Liyue's ears.
"This Su Liyue is really vulgar and vicious. Miss Shangguan is a good doctor and has saved countless lives. She actually has the nerve to accuse her like this."
"That's right, Miss Shangguan has paid a lot for the King of War, and she and the King of War are a match made in heaven. This Su Liyue interfered five years ago, and now she comes to sabotage Miss Shangguan's wedding. It's simply abominable.
Extremely."
"Su Liyue is not even worthy of carrying Miss Shangguan's shoes. Now she doesn't invite herself to the court, and she still talks about slander. She is simply not a human being."
"..."
For a time, everyone was talking about it, all criticizing Su Liyue.
Although the voice was small, Su Liyue could hear some of it.
However, Su Liyue did not feel angry because of this, after all, she never cared about reputation.
However, Su Liyue sensed Shangguan Ruoning's brilliance from these comments.
This move of hers is probably a way of retreating in order to advance.
In this way, she, Shangguan Ruoning, was sympathized with, praised and supported by others, and won the hearts of the people; while she, Su Liyue, once again bore the label of 'vicious' and 'destroying people's marriages'.
Sure enough, the person who is unanimously praised by everyone is not simple. Everything he does is calculated. After all, how can there be so many perfect people in this world?
It's just, something's wrong!
Something is very wrong!
Shangguan Ruoning's behavior should not only be for the sake of popular support and reputation.
After all, after waiting for five years, how could she say such words so easily and seal her way into the palace?
While thinking like this, Su Liyue couldn't help but look at Shangguan Ruoning, and then their eyes met.
There seemed to be invisible firelight shining in the air.
And Su Liyue could clearly see the resentment flashing through Shangguan Ruoning's eyes.
"Sister, are you satisfied with this?" Shangguan Ruoning looked at Su Liyue and asked.
When I asked this question, it seemed like I was being forced to do anything but compromise.
There is no doubt that more unkind looks fell on her.
Su Liyue was too lazy to pay attention to those people who were led by Shangguan Ruoning. She just curled her lips and nodded slightly, "Satisfied."
Su Liyue could clearly see that Shangguan Ruoning's face was slightly stiff, and she could also feel that the guests were a little more angry.
However, the next moment, Su Liyue's voice changed, "Don't you just want me to answer like this, so that you can confirm my vicious image of beating mandarin ducks? And you, just reap the benefits and gain sympathy and good reputation?
I wonder, Sister Shangguan, what is your next plan?"
Su Liyue's straight ball seemed to knock Shangguan Ruo out of control for an instant.
Shangguan Ruoning stared at Su Liyue with a bit of disbelief in her eyes.
As for the guests, they began to look at Su Liyue again.
At this time, Shangguan Ruoning quickly came to her senses and wanted to explain, "Sister, you misunderstood, I..."
"It doesn't matter whether I misunderstood or not. You should know that I'm just here to drink tea. I don't have time to fight with each other. If you really want to enter the Prince of War's palace...here, the tea is ready, so hurry up."
No matter what Shangguan Ruoning wanted to do, she didn't bother to talk to her about it.
And since she doesn't want to be a concubine, then she doesn't want to get what she wants.
Isn't it her fault for beating up the mandarin ducks?
Then just ask her to serve tea and bring her into the palace of the Prince of War. Is this right?
