"What's going on!"
Zha Qinglan's words came out almost involuntarily.
She leaned forward so far that her entire body was practically standing up.
Seemingly having thought of something, Zhao Qinglan hesitated for a fleeting moment before, instead of sitting back down to conceal her shock, she directly rose to her feet and walked to Su Jinpa's side, saying, "The prince is now responsible for the safety of the nation, and it is absolutely impossible for him to make any mistakes. Is he injured"
Observing Zhao Qinglan's reaction carefully, Su Jinping felt a flicker of suspicion when Zhao Qinglan subconsciously wanted to stand up. However, instead of concealing it, the latter directly stood up and said those words, which sounded reasonable. Su Jinping suppressed the strange thoughts in her heart.
"The person is still alive." Su Jinping replied.
This response caused Zhao Qinglan's face to darken.
Her phoenix eyes glinted with a menacing light as she said, "I ask you, was the Crown Prince injured"
Su Jinpa said coldly, "Your Majesty, don't you know this yourself"
Bang.
Zhao Qinglan slapped the table beside her, and angrily rebuked: "Princess Consort, what do you mean by that Is this how you speak to this palace"
"I humbly apologize, Your Majesty."
Although she mouthed words of apology, Su Jinpa's face showed no remorse or fear. She even stared at Zhao Qinglan defiantly and asked, "Didn't Your Majesty know"
Zhao Qinglan said angrily, "Do you mean to say that this palace ordered someone to assassinate the Crown Prince"
Perhaps the Empress herself does not, but those around her may have this intention.
Su Jinpa's words were almost a declaration of war.
And to provoke the Empress as a Crown Princess, no matter how you look at it, is a grave offense.
But Su Jinpa's voice was firm and resolute. In the face of Zhao Qinglan's imposing manner, he showed no sign of compromise.
Zhao Qinglan's face was as cold as ice, and she said in a frigid voice: "Su Jinpa, think carefully about who you are talking to and what you are saying!"
Su Jinhua still stood her ground, saying: "Before Your Majesty, I will naturally be respectful and courteous. But this concerns my husband, so as the Prince's wife, I am first and foremost Your Majesty's daughter-in-law. Anyone who threatens my husband's safety, then I must fight them to the death!"
Su Jinpa's words shocked Zhao Qinglan greatly.
She looked at Su Jinpa in disbelief, just about to speak, but then remembered something. She just waved her hand, trying hard to keep her voice calm and said, "You all go down."
Upon hearing this, the maidservants and eunuchs serving immediately bowed their heads and retreated.
Zhao Qinglan glanced at Zhao Rui, but Zhao Rui turned her head away and refused to meet Zhao Qinglan's gaze.
The meaning is obvious.
Zhao Qinglan wanted Zhao Rui to withdraw as well.
But Zhao Rui didn't intend to heed Zhao Qinglan's orders.
She gritted her teeth inwardly, clenching her fists. Right now, she would only listen to her older sister.
Seeing this, Zhao Qinglan also ignored it.
To her, Zhao Rui was merely a trivial figure, not worth her while to say or do anything special for him.
After everyone else had left, only Zhao Qinglan, Su Jinpa, and Zhao Rui remained in the main hall.
"Su Jinping."
Zhao Qinglan's tone softened. She did not call Su Jinpa "Crown Princess" and did not refer to herself as "this palace."
"I'm curious, you clearly didn't like the idea of marrying into the imperial palace. After being forced to accept reality, how could you so easily give your heart to Li Chen" Biwu went home after passing a pickle shop on his way back, buying two jars of pickles before returning to his residence.
