C20 Underachievement

Upon hearing this, everyone simultaneously turned to look in the direction of the voice.

Under the reflection of the moonlight, a man with a well-built body and a cold appearance strolled over. With one hand behind his back, the man carried his own aura as he walked over, causing the surrounding people to lower their heads and greet him.

Gongliancheng walked over. Seeing that Shenlanrui still had no intention of letting go, the aura he was emitting became even colder. "Let go."

Shenlanrui originally wanted to mock him and deliberately go against him, but the way she looked at him didn't have the slightest hint of warmth in her eyes. It made her involuntarily think of this person's actions on the battlefield.

Coldness, decisiveness, killing without blinking, Shixuekuangmo …

Every synonym forced Shenlanrui to let go of the hand that was holding onto Linyunruo. However, she wasn't willing to lose her face like that, so she said: "Since the Sheezhengwang came, it's good that you can discipline your wangfei, don't extend your hand too long. There has never been a case where a wangfei interfered with the affairs of the imperial harem. Furthermore, it is not certain whether this wangfei will be able to become a wangfei in the end! "

With these words, not only did she criticize Linyunruo, she also criticized him. She even intentionally instigated the relationship between the two.

Linyunruo frowned. She knew that she had ill intentions, but at this time, she had fallen into this person's trap.

Linyunruo couldn't stand being accused for no reason by others because of her. She was about to start cursing at him with a cold face, but she didn't expect anyone to speak first.

"So what if it's an imperial concubine? She's still my pet." Gongliancheng had a cold face and looked at Shenlanrui with a somewhat contemptuous gaze, "If Venerable Shen does not accept this, then you can ask Huangshang for justice."

"You!" Shenlanrui was so angry that he couldn't speak. "Bastard!"

Even if Shenlanrui was once the Queen, she might still be able to return to that position today. But now, what she was facing was the Sheezhengwang, the Sheezhengwang that even the Huangshang did not dare to offend lightly!

She scolded him in such a manner that even her words could not describe. While the rest of them were sweating because of what she had done, they were also sweating because of the possible punishment that they might face.

As expected, Gongliancheng's eyes instantly turned cold. If Gongliancheng's usually emotionless appearance was just ice cold, Gongliancheng's eyes would be like sharp blades right now, delaying him.

Gongliancheng frowned, "Seems like your esteemed self has forgotten too much, these kinds of words are not something that someone with your status can say."

Hearing this, Shenlanrui realised that she had said the wrong thing. She subconsciously wanted to explain, but when she saw Linyunruo by her side, she clenched her teeth, as if exhausted of her skills, and raised her voice, "So what? I am someone of Huangshang, no matter what, Sheezhengwang can't do anything to me!"

"Is that so?" The Linyunruo asked, patting his arm, and suggested softly: "Since that's the case, then let the Huangshang handle it."

Hearing this, Shenlanrui heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Gongxuzhi was here, she did not have to worry about anything happening to Sheezhengwang.

Hearing that, the Gongliancheng slightly lowered her eyes, glanced at the blood stains on his fingers, frowned, and pulled her hand to check.

Only when she looked carefully did she realize that it wasn't from her body. Thus, she casually wiped off the blood on her hand. "Sure." "We'll do as the wangfei says."

While speaking, Gongliancheng pointed to a palace maid a few steps away, "You, go inform Huangshang."

The palace maid who was selected was stunned for a moment before reacting, hastily bowing and leaving.

After a while, Shenlanrui noticed that a group of people were surrounding Gongxuzhi. From a distance, she had brewed her emotions, and when Gongxuzhi came closer, she immediately walked over and complained wailing, "Huangshang, you have to avenge your concubine!"

Watching as Shenlanrui walked in front of Gongxuzhi, bowed, and then took the initiative to hold Gongxuzhi's hand, while talking, he did not forget to wipe away the tears that had been forcefully squeezed out.

She couldn't help but laugh.

When the Gongliancheng at the side noticed her, he immediately tilted his head and looked at her, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's a good show." Linyunruo replied softly.

A few steps away, Gongxuzhi was having a headache due to Shenlanrui's argument. He frowned and glanced at the woman whose makeup had been ruined, feeling that the other Linyunruo looked better now. Thus, he impatiently shook off Shenlanrui's hand, "Speak properly!"

Shenlanrui was shocked by his cold attitude and was immediately stunned. She then reacted and stopped crying, saying grievingly: "My concubine has lost the family heirloom I passed down a few days ago. I thought I lost it somewhere, but I didn't expect to find it on this lowly servant today."

As she spoke, she pointed to Zhu'er who was kneeling near the Linyunruo, "Chenqie thought that stealing from chenqie is not a big deal, she was afraid that one day she would steal something that she shouldn't have, and cause trouble. So I let her be taught a lesson, but I didn't expect that someone said that the wangfei had stopped her, and even made a move against the rest of them."

"Nonsense!" Without waiting for Gongxuzhi to speak, Gongliancheng did not plan to let him continue speaking. "This king knows best about my consort, Wangfei is beautiful and kind, and she doesn't even want to step on ants. How can she do anything to harm me?"

Hearing that, Shenlanrui frowned, he pointed at Linyunruo and asked: "She? A kind heart? "

"Is there a problem?" The Gongliancheng retorted as he looked at the Shenlanrui with an extremely oppressing gaze. Finally, he looked at the Gongxuzhi at the side and said coldly, "It's getting late, the consort's body isn't feeling well today. This king will bring her back to rest early!"

These words were said to the Gongxuzhi, who sized them up in front of him and then looked at the Gongliancheng, "Royal Uncle, why are you in such a hurry? It's the same if you leave after everything is settled."

"No need. I believe that the Huangshang will make his own decision. " After Gongliancheng finished speaking, he bowed to Gongxuzhi and turned around to leave with Linyunruo.

His movements were fast, leaving behind only two suave silhouettes as well as a gust of wind when he left.

Seeing the two of them walking further and further away until they finally disappeared, Shenlanrui was burning with anxiety. He turned his head and looked at Gongxuzhi, "Huangshang, Sheezhengwang is so rude, did you not hear your words, and just let them go?"

"Shut up!" Gongxuzhi stared at the woman impatiently. It was the first time he felt that this woman was so stupid, "Doing things well is more than enough. From today onwards, you shouldn't leave your courtyard. Rest well!"

With that, the Gongxuzhi flicked his sleeves and left. The palace maids behind him immediately followed.

Shenlanrui panicked and chased after him to stop him, "Huangshang, chenqie did all this for your sake. "It's not that you don't know, Sheezhengwang and Linyunruo both ignore you and your subjects, they …"

"Pah!"

Before Shenlanrui could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sudden voice.
