After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

study.

"Brother, have you really made up your mind to divorce your sister-in-law?"

Shangguan Zhu asked in disbelief.

At the beginning, Zhao Ying threatened Ziyin's life and Emperor Jianxi forced him to sign the divorce agreement in the Yangxin Palace, but he would rather break his fingers than sign!

Shangguan Shu's handsome face did not fluctuate at all when he heard this, even his eyes were as calm as a deep pool. He seemed to have really thought it through, understood it, and calmed down.

"Your sister-in-law and I have already discussed that we should separate for a while to sort out our thoughts."

Shangguan Zhu still didn't quite believe it, but he was happy to see it.

"If that's the case, then that's for the best."

Shangguan Shu suddenly interrupted Shangguan Zhu, "I also promised her that I would no longer covet her Zhao family's kingdom."

"what?"

Shangguan Zhu frowned, "Is this the condition for her to divorce you?"

Shangguan Shu curled his lips slightly, "I guess so."

Shangguan Zhu sneered, "Why does she think that if she puts everything back to its original place, there will be eternal peace?"

"Not to mention the sufferings Princess Huai'an endured in the Xiongnu... Zhao Ying had already robbed Princess Huai'an of her happiness!"

"And Zihua and Ziyin have been afraid to acknowledge their biological father for many years!"

Shangguan Shu interrupted him again, "Zihua and Ziyin are not my children."

"What?!" Shangguan Zhu widened his eyes, and a fierce look suddenly flashed across his eyes.

Shangguan Shu did not explain, but reiterated, "They have nothing to do with me."

Shangguan Zhu frowned and thought for a long time. He was not stupid and soon figured out the key point. Then he sighed and said with emotion: "Princess Huai'an was also forced into a corner."

"How could she not be anxious when she saw the man she loved and the woman who hurt her keep giving birth to children?"

"Brother, you should be considerate of her!"

Shangguan Shu curled the corners of his lips dryly and suppressed the urge to roll his eyes.

Shangguan Zhu said sternly: "Brother, you and Zhao Ying should get divorced!"

"You should take some responsibility for Princess Huai'an. She has suffered so much these years. It has not been easy!"

Shangguan Shu stroked the jade pendant around his waist, his eyes mysteriously fixed on somewhere unknown.

Shangguan Zhu saw this, his eyebrows darkened, and then he said bitterly: "A woman like Zhao Ying is so charming and vicious, she is really not worth caring about!"

"Let's not talk about her inaction towards Ziyin, even as for the third brother... humph!" Shangguan Zhu smiled coldly, getting angry, "She promised to help the third brother, but she didn't do it at all!"

When Shangguan Dan was mentioned, Shangguan Shu focused his attention and asked, "What happened to the third brother?"

Shangguan Zhu recounted how he met Shangguan Dan in the prison of the Ministry of Justice that day, how Shangguan Dan looked like a beggar, and how Zhao Ying promised to help Shangguan Dan but went back on his word. Finally, he angrily said, "The third brother has been eating with pigs for many days and finally got swine fever! His life or death is unknown!"

"The Ministry of Justice reported this to me when they saw that the matter had become serious. However, he had contracted swine fever, which is contagious. I couldn't bring him back at all, so he had to remain in the Ministry of Justice jail."

"Have you found a royal doctor?"

Shangguan Zhu nodded, "I have already found one. Fortunately, the third child's condition is not serious. The Imperial Hospital has treated this kind of case before and has a prescription. Now the fever has subsided and he is recovering!"

Shangguan Shu felt relieved after hearing this.

Shangguan Zhu struck while the iron was hot, "She can harm the third brother today, but she may harm Princess Huai'an in the future! Zhao Ying is powerful and has deep thoughts, how can Princess Huai'an be her opponent? Brother, you can't watch your beloved being harmed by others!"

Shangguan Shu's heart skipped a beat.

Is this...so...serious?

Shangguan Shu shook his head. "Given Huai'an's temperament, it's already a mercy for her not to harm Zhao Ying..."

Shangguan Zhu had not expected Shangguan Shu to say such a thing. He was so stunned that he stuttered when he tried to refute, "How...how could it be..."

Shangguan Shu sneered, "Huai An's true face...we all underestimated her!"

"Could it be that she lied to you that Zihua and Ziyin were your heirs? In my opinion, even if she used some tricks and schemes, she was forced into it!"

"She saw her beloved having a child with another woman, and you were still hesitant and unwilling to divorce Zhao Ying. How could she tolerate this?!"

Seeing Shangguan Shu speechless, Shangguan Zhu said coldly, "Brother, she is just a girl. If you regret it one day, just take her back! Her love for you... I'm sure she will agree to your request!"

"You are not a hesitant person. Make a decision quickly, so as not to hurt the one you truly love!"

"Okay, go away!" Shangguan Shu ordered them to leave.

Shangguan Zhu knew that he had said enough, so he left without saying anything more.

I walked out of the study, closed the door, and saw the bright moon hanging high outside.

Shangguan Zhu's lips suddenly curled up and his eyes trembled.

There was a rare look of...joy and lightness on his face.

He suddenly reached into his bosom and pulled out a shiny jade pendant, which looked exactly like Shangguan Shu's!

He lowered his head and looked quietly at the jade pendant on his palm, his eyes were unprecedentedly... gentle.

In the study.

Shangguan Shu stood tall and slender in front of the window, the silvery moonlight shone on his face, leaving a shadow on one side.

Zhao Ying, now that things have come to this, I will trust you and give it a try.

Let me see for whom my heart is in turmoil.

If I regret it and you refuse to turn back...then let's go to hell together!

Shangguan Shu gave a sad and mocking smile, with a cold look on his lips.

Zhongcui Palace.

Shangguan Qingyue was fooled by Wu Yonggui.

The main reason is that His Majesty is punishing Princess Chengqian, and it’s not good to let Shangguan Qingyue know.

Otherwise, it would be a good thing if the Yangxin Palace was not overturned.

It just so happened that Wu Yonggui was also curious about what happened in Princess Huaian's bedroom, so he thought of tricking Shangguan Qingyue in, and then secretly go in with her to take a look, wouldn't that tell him?

"My dear lady, I don't know if Princess Huai'an has woken up yet. Do you want to go and check on her?"

[Oh no! I have to remove the needle before Aunt Huai An wakes up, otherwise everyone will know that I am a bad kid...even though it was Aunt Huai An who stole my beautiful shoes first! ! ]

Shangguan Qingyue pushed open the door of the bedroom and ran towards Zhao Yao who was lying on the bed.

[Aunt Huai'an, I'm here again... Hehe]

Wu Yonggui followed Shangguan Qingyue stealthily, and when he saw Zhao Yao's condition, his jaw dropped.

stunned.

Unbelievable.

Shangguan Qingyue used his hands and feet to climb onto Zhao Yao's bed, looked at Zhao Yao's body full of silver needles, and didn't know where to start, so he finally decided to start from her face.

The little hand moved towards the silver needle on Zhao Yao's face.

[Aunt Huai'an doesn't feel any pain...]

Just looking at her expression, she is really a simple and harmless little kid...

Wu Yonggui, who was standing opposite, was so scared that he almost died. Seeing Shangguan Qingyue reaching out to Zhao Yao, he quickly called out, "Young Miss, what are you...going to do..."

The old eunuch didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of scaring the little girl or attracting people from outside.

Shangguan Qingyue raised his head when he heard the voice, [How did you come in? ]

[Forget it, come in if you want, but don’t tell anyone else… or I’ll have my grandfather spank you! ]

The little guy frowned.

Although Wu Yonggui couldn't hear Shangguan Qingyue's thoughts, he could still understand his expression a little.

Warn him!

Wu Yonggui bowed quickly and said, "Young lady, I will keep my mouth shut. I will...close the door for you right now!"

Wu Yonggui went to close the door with a bitter face.

Shangguan Qingyue had already pulled out a silver needle from Zhao Yao's lips.

[Aunt Huai'an, can we stop being so naughty? Read it! ]

Shangguan Qingyue said as he looked at the four or five silver needles stuck in the corner of Zhao Yao's mouth.

However, just as she pulled it out, Shangguan Qingyue felt a flash before her eyes and something splashed on her face.
