“I like her—Miss Shen.”
The hall burst into an uproar. Everyone looked at the three daughters of the Shen family. Among the three daughters of the Shen family, Shen Qing was already engaged, so only Shen Yue and Shen Miao were left. Shen Yue was gentle and charming, and her name was famous. Now that Shen Miao was also a slender and beautiful girl, her aura was also eye-catching. More importantly, Shen Miao had the backing of Shen Xin. Everyone could clearly see that the person Prince Yu was looking at was Shen Miao.
For a moment, everyone looked at Shen Miao with an extremely strange gaze. Some were gloating, while others were sympathetic. Everyone knew that there was something fishy about the previous Princess Consort Yu’s death. Everyone knew what kind of demon Prince Yu was. However, such a person was protected by the royal family. On one hand, there was a mighty general, and on the other hand, there was the brother of the emperor. What would the emperor do?
After Prince Yu finished speaking, Shen Xin’s expression darkened and veins popped out on his forehead. For a moment, there was a fierce aura that made the expressions of everyone around him change.
Shen Xin was a loyal official, but if he could not even protect his daughter, how could he protect the country?
Shen Qiu also tightened the corners of his mouth and stared fiercely at Prince Yu, as if as long as Prince Yu said Shen Miao’s name, he would jump up and fight him to the death.
As for Luo Xueyan, she was already holding Shen Miao’s hand tightly. The smile on her face had long disappeared, and it was replaced by a deep and ruthless expression, like a female wolf protecting its cub.
When the people around saw the Shen family’s reaction, they couldn’t help but exclaim in their hearts. The atmosphere was tense when the Shen family made such a move. Emperor Wen Hui was a paranoid person, wasn’t the Shen family afraid that Emperor Wen Hui would be unhappy with them being so intimidating in front of him?
Prince Ding also looked at Shen Miao in surprise.
“It seems like Fifth Miss Shen is an apple in General Shen’s eyes.” Su Mingfeng whispered to Xie Jingxing, “The Shen family actually did this for her.”
Challenging Prince Yu was equivalent to challenging the entire royal family. No matter what, Shen Xin’s attitude made it clear that he would do everything to stop Prince Yu even if Emperor Wen Hui gave the order.
Xie Jingxing smiled lazily and did not comment.
In the corner, Pei Lang tightened his grip on the teacup. What would the girl who could shoot arrows at her classmates without batting an eyelid do?
Emperor Wen Hui’s smile was a little unfathomable. He looked at the Shen family with a dark gaze and said, “Which girl from the Shen family do you like?”
Everyone was waiting for Prince Yu’s answer. A mocking smile appeared on Shen Qing’s face. However, before she could gloat, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She couldn’t help but cry out in pain and fall to the ground.
“What’s going on?”
“QIng!”
Shen Qing’s sudden action shocked everyone. Ren Wanyun immediately held her in her arms. Shen Qing’s face quickly turned pale. Shen Yue pulled the corner of Chen Ruoqiu’s shirt. Chen Ruoqiu’s heart skipped a beat. For some reason, she looked at Shen Miao.
The girl in purple sat at the table, her expression unchanged. When she met Chen Ruoqiu’s gaze, she smiled and turned to look at Luo Xueyan. She asked worriedly, “What happens to Eldest Sister? What’s wrong? Is she poisoned?”
