Chapter 326: Can’t the Two Cancel Each Other Out

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Grand Princess, please calm down and listen to everything clearly before coming to a conclusion.” Huangfu He did not give in to her pestering. “1, and Miss Liu, have absolutely nothing to do with any rumor about the Second Prince wearing a green hat.”

He respectfully bowed to the emperor, “Father, 1 believe that while many things may be tolerated, this matter concerns the reputation of the Crown Prince and is of great importance. 1 ask for your decision.”

It was not wrong to say that he was pushing Yu Wanqing to her death.

Why?

Naturally, it was because no matter, if Yu Wanqing became the Crown Princess, a concubine, or a court lady, such an ignorant meddler entering his harem, would never allow him to have a peaceful day.

This was one reason.

The second reason was that he wanted to salvage his relationship with Liu Shimei, and of course, he was on her side. Would Liu Shimei be willing to stay by his side with Yu Wanqing still around?

The last reason was that Liu Shimei was his sweetheart, and it was already hard enough for him to see her go through all this. How could he allow others to put sh*t on her head again?

Especially since even a fool like Huangfu Lingyao knew to protect the woman he liked. He, Huangfu He, was the Crown Prince and the heir to the throne. How could he lose in this aspect?

Huangfu Quan had rarely seen his successor, who understood the big picture, reveal such an aggressive appearance. This matter must have thoroughly angered Huangfu He.

Indeed, anyone who was baselessly accused like this would not be able to tolerate it. Moreover, Huangfu He, as the Crown Prince, could not afford to be so easily manipulated by just anyone.

But…

Huangfu Jiao was also difficult to deal with. “Your Majesty, Qing’er is at fault. I have to admit this. I have also let down Your Majesty and the Crown Prince. However, she is still young. It is my Yu family’s fault for not teaching her well. It is better to let the Yu family handle her on their own.”

Liu Shimei glanced at Huangfu Jiao and understood that she wanted to protect Yu Wanqing and the Yu family. She probably wanted to give up her competition for the position of Crown Princess as long as she could keep her people safe.

Huangfu Jiao replied firmly, “King Dun Yu has already beaten Qing’er up for scaring Eldest Young Miss Liu, causing damage to her liver. It will take two or three years for her to recover. Isn’t this punishment enough? Can’t the two actions cancel each other out?”

Hearing this, Liu Shimei did not stop Liang Wei. Instead, she glanced at her grandfather.

Receiving her gaze, Liang Wei blurted out, “Grand Princess, your words are quite funny! 1’11 have someone spread the word that the Grand Princess keeps ten or eight male lovers in her palace, and then let someone stab you. Would that be a fair trade?”

One had to admit that this former mighty general’s way of speaking was incredibly bold!

His voice was loud, like a loud bell that seemed to lift the roof of the court.

Liu Shimei did not say anything because she was the victim. In addition, she was a junior and should not be aggressive in front of her elders. Of course, this kind of thing was left to Grandpa, who was experienced in handling such matters!

Huangfu Jiao was so angry that she almost couldn’t take a breath. Without thinking, she scolded,”Liang Wei, you shameless old man!”

Huangfu Jiao was so angry that she almost couldn’t catch her breath and scolded without thinking, “Liang Wei, you shameless old man!”

Huangfu Quan felt even more headache. “Mr. Liang, calm down for now. This matter needs to be addressed properly and discussed calmly.”

Liang Wei lowered his voice a bit, but he still had his own argument, “It’s not that I’m unwilling to discuss it properly. Grand Princess’s accusations clearly imply that Princess Ping’an is nothing more than an ordinary person! Do you mean to say that if someone came to my house and vandalized it and spread nonsense, my Shimei should just endure such false accusations? She’s already engaged, and we won’t tolerate such defamation! Or perhaps…”

He looked at Huangfu Jiao coldly. “Because King Dun Yu’s intelligence is incomplete, he deserves to be bullied by your Yu people? I’d like to ask the Grand Princess, do you have so little regard for King Dun Yu?”

This last sentence caused Huangfu Quan’s face to darken!
