Chapter 2537 - 2537 Morbid
2537 Morbid
Shi Yongqian’s facial expression froze. Her body felt uncomfortable all over from maintaining that curtsy.
The little stoic looked at her coldly while sitting up straight. “Your Shi Clan is truly competent to not even hold the Eastern Palace in respect. Then in your minds, His Majesty would probably only be so-so too.”
Shi Yongqian’s heart turned cold. Next to her, the Zheng Prince Consort, who had been watching the drama from the side, also stiffened. She hastily went up and said with a smile, “The crown prince consort truly does know how to joke. Yongqian is still young so please excuse her etiquette. Please do not blame her, Crown Prince Consort.”
“How old is she?”
The Zheng Prince Consort could not help but be a bit flabbergasted. How come she felt like this young crown prince consort’s thoughts were so excitable? She could barely catch on to her meaning!
“S-Seventeen, Yongqian is only 17 years old after all…”
“This crown prince consort is 15.”
Everyone: …
Several madams who were not on good terms with the Shi Clan couldn’t resist chortling.
They truly wanted to ask the Zheng Prince Consort how fast this faceslap felt.
She had just used age as an excuse, yet who knew that the young crown prince consort was even younger. The young crown prince consort’s meaning was obvious. Even those who were young could not lack etiquette.
The young crown prince consort spoke dryly, “Age does not mean everything. More often than not, it is truly difficult to teach a person who has a crooked foundation.”
“Such as your Shi Clan.” She mocked coldly, “It is obvious from the young lady’s behavior that your breeding is truly poor.”
Everyone: …
Shi Yongqian’s nose was about to become crooked out of anger. She was unable to hold it in any longer and abruptly straightened her body.
“Crown Prince Consort, are you abusing your power to bully others?”
However, because Shi Yongqian had abruptly stood up from a curtsy position, she felt a bit of vertigo.
Qiao Mu promptly flared up and smacked the small sandalwood table beside her. Her pretty face was as frigid as the frosty snowy night. She asked impassively, “Where are the crown prince consort’s guards?”
Palace Lady Jing’s eyelid jerked. When she saw the young crown prince consort picking on Second Young Lady Shi earlier, she felt that things were developing in a strange direction.
As expected!
It hadn’t been three minutes yet! Yet it was chaos!
Bang, bang, bang!!” Several big holes suddenly opened up in the roof. Seven to eight shadows descended from the air and knelt down on one knee in front of the crown prince consort. They shouted deferentially, “Present!”
So these people had been protecting the crown prince consort’s safety the entire time?
His Highness the Crown Prince had arranged this?
“Tie her up!” Qiao Mu pointed at Shi Yongqian and spoked frigidly, “Second Young Lady Shi has forgot her manners in front of this crown prince consort. She holds morals and respect in contempt! Drag her out to receive 10 planks so that her mind clears up!”
Everyone: …
Shi Yongqian was truly anxious now. When she saw several guards rush forward to tie her up, she couldn’t resist threatening, “How dare you!?”
“See if I dare.” Qiao Mu curled her lips icily.
When the Shi Yongqian looked at her, she felt like there was an unspeakable morbidity surrounding this crown prince consort.
She did not know whether it was her imagination that the young crown prince consort seemed to be like a venomous snake. She might rise up any moment and bite her throat.
“Let go of me! Let go!” Shi Yongqian struggled and shouted. “Eldest Sister! Eldest Sister save me!”
