126 Prince Zhao Is Really Prestigious
The Eldest Princess had just arrived in the outer room of the front hall when she heard the fierce words.
She took the teacup from the maid and carried it to Huo Zhao. Then, she splashed the still hot tea on his face.
The slightly hot tea made Huo Zhao flinch, and his originally deranged expression instantly calmed down. He first looked at the angry Eldest Princess in confusion, then replayed everything that had happened not long ago in his mind. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning and was stunned on the spot.
“Looks like you’re awake,” the Eldest Princess said coldly. She turned to look at Yu Linlang, who was still in a daze. “Slap her awake!”
A burly-looking old woman walked forward, raised her fan-like hand, and slapped Yu Linlang’s face.
With a crisp snap, Yu Linlang let out a scream and spat out a bloody molar.
Her originally turbid eyes instantly cleared up, and she also recalled what had happened not long ago. Yu Linlang’s mind seemed to have exploded, and her body went limp. She closed her eyes and pretended to faint.
“If you faint, I’ll throw you into the lake to feed the fish,” the Eldest Princess said with a frown. She hated Yu Linlang’s act of pretending to be weak when faced with trouble.
Seeing Yu Linlang kneel on the ground again with an embarrassed expression, the Eldest Princess snorted in disdain.
Back then, when she was fighting with her father’s concubines in the palace, she had seen all kinds of tricks. She didn’t know who gave this woman the guts to show off these tricks in front of her.
“Who allowed your lowly hands to touch me? Get lost,” said Huo Zhao coldly.
The guards who had been suppressing him immediately retreated to the side.
“Prince Zhao is really impressive.” The Eldest Princess sneered and said, “Since you like to act like your master and cause trouble here, why don’t I give you this princess residence?”
Huo Zhao stood up from his chair and walked to the front of the Eldest Princess. He cupped his fists and bowed to her. “Aunt, I’ve done something foolish this time. Please forgive me and don’t blame Linlang. She’s innocent.”
Seeing that Huo Zhao was still speaking up for Yu Linlang at this moment, the Eldest Princess felt even more indignant for Shen Yaowei. “No wonder Yaoyao wanted to annul the engagement with you. Prince Zhao, have you thought about Yaoyao’s feelings when you pleaded for mercy for such a woman?”
“Shen Yaowei won’t understand this. She doesn’t know anything. Her thoughts and brains are like that of a seven or eight-year-old child, let alone romantic feelings,” Huo Zhao said in a low voice and looked deeply at the Eldest Princess. “Aunt, I’m also your biological nephew. Are you going to watch me marry such a fool and live with a fool who doesn’t even know how to have sex?”
“Pata-”
As Huo Zhao finished speaking, a crisp sound sounded not far away.
Instantly, everyone’s attention was attracted.
Shen Yaowei stood there with a slightly pale face, and ceramic shards fell to the ground under her feet.
Imperial Physician Cui rushed out and bowed to the Eldest Princess with an uneasy expression. “Your Highness, when I was about to give Miss Shen acupuncture, I saw that she was really nervous, so I prepared calming tea for you. However, Miss Shen heard from me that this calming tea has the effect of calming the fire, so I had to personally brew another cup and bring it to you…”
“I-I didn’t mean to break it. I’ll make another cup…” Shen Yaowei said slightly and turned to go to the inner room, but she heard the Eldest Princess’s voice behind her. “Yaoyao, come to me.”
