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

"And you are wrong. I am not as selfless as you imagine, nor am I a fairy who is detached from the mundane world," Zhao Ying raised her chin slightly, indifferent and cold, "I have a noble fate, above all others, which is something that ordinary people cannot ask for. I am too lucky to be grateful, so why should I be disgusted?"

Zhao Ying left holding Shangguan Qingyue.

Her cold voice seemed to still echo in Shangguan Zhu's ears.

how come?

how come?

Shangguan Zhu was lying on the ground, with stars and chess pieces all over his eyes, and his thoughts were like the stars in the dark night, complicated and confusing, with no end in sight.

Shangguan Shu felt better after hearing what Zhao Ying said. Before leaving, he took the jade pendant that should have belonged to him from the table.

He picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, there was a word "ying" (ying) inside it.

Shangguan Shu frowned, feeling as if a stone was falling on his heart. He glanced fiercely at Shangguan Zhu who was lying on the ground. What a bastard, he had actually replaced his jade pendant long ago!

Shangguan Shu gritted his teeth and used all his strength to suppress the urge to destroy Shangguan Zhu...

He can't control himself at all!

He wanted to remain calm, but he simply couldn't.

When he thought that there was someone in this world who coveted Zhao Ying and secretly loved her, he wished he could destroy everything!

The jade pendant in his palm was about to be crushed into powder by him, but suddenly, his hand loosened its grip.

He put the jade pendant into his arms expressionlessly.

The jade pendant went around in circles and returned to his hands. Zhao Ying also knew how to do it, so he was not in a hurry.

After Shangguan Shu left, Shangguan Dan dared to ask Shangguan Zhu, "How are you, second brother?"

Seeing Shangguan Zhu's miserable appearance, Shangguan Dan asked in confusion, "Why are you doing this? Why are you trying to snatch the princess from my brother?"

Shangguan Zhu did not answer.

Behind the bamboo fence on the other side, Wei Fu and Wei Yuan, who had watched the drama, were silent. After a while, Wei Yuan said strangely, "Brother, although I am not as promising as the two Shangguans as a younger brother, I will never covet your woman..."

Wei Fu: ...Let’s not compare now...

……

When Zhao Ying returned, someone came to report that Zhao Zihua had been rescued.

She originally wanted to use Zhao Zihua to control Zhao Yao, but now that Zhao Yao is dead, Zhao Zihua is actually useless.

It's okay for those who are useless to her to be rescued, but...

Zhao Ying was puzzled. Who wanted to save Zhao Zihua?

The lineage of the Empress Dowager and Consort Shu is extinct...

With doubts in mind, Zhao Ying returned to the banquet.

Shangguan Shu came back soon as if nothing had happened.

Shangguan Qingyue was about to report the big gossip to his brothers and sisters when the prince sent someone back from Quzhou, saying that he brought a good thing for Zhao Ying.

"What is it?"

The messenger was in high spirits, his eyes sparkling, "Your Highness, it's a golden Buddha!"

Golden Buddha?

Zhao Ying was a little surprised. What was so special about the golden Buddha that required the prince to send it over at full speed?

Shangguan Qingyue subconsciously looked at Heng Luan behind Shangguan Qiyu when he heard this. Heng Luan indeed frowned, exchanged a glance with Heng Lin, and then looked at the envoy.

[It can't be such a coincidence, right? Could it be the golden body of the eldest brother? ]

Although Zhao Ying didn't quite understand what was said, he became interested when he heard the word "golden body".

The envoy said, "Your Highness, you don't know that this golden Buddha is not ordinary. The Buddha statue has no form, but it gives people a sense of solemnity and dignity, and it is even more peculiar that the Buddha statue is only the size of a swaddled baby. Sometimes it is as heavy as a mountain, sometimes it is as light as a feather, sometimes it is bright and sometimes it is dark like dust..."

Shangguan Qingyue didn't need to listen to the rest of the words.

It really is the golden body of the eldest brother.

After listening to the messenger's narration, everyone became more curious about the golden Buddha. Seeing this, Zhao Ying asked the messenger to open it in public.

The messenger lifted the curtain and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has been unable to see the secret of the golden Buddha for many days, so I sent me to show it to Your Highness."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gray Buddha statue appeared in front of everyone. Everyone was puzzled and whispered. Zhao Ying also frowned. If she hadn't heard Yue'er's voice, she would have suspected that the prince had sent her a stone Buddha.

Zhao Ying was just about to ask someone to bring the Buddha statue to her when suddenly, the statue lit up. The light was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes. While everyone was trying to block it, the golden Buddha flew away from the messenger's hands with a shining light and went straight towards Hengluan.

The golden body is looking for its owner!

Heng Luan's gaze was always on his golden body, without dodging. His usually cold eyes gradually softened, and the corners of his lips slightly raised... Suddenly, the smile stopped.

Just when the golden body was only a body length away from him, a figure suddenly jumped out and hugged the golden body tightly.

At the same time, the dazzling light of the golden body disappeared in an instant, and it became dark again...

Everyone noticed that the cover had been lowered and slowly opened their eyes.

Shangguan Qingyue held the golden Buddha with a sly smile on his face and said to Zhao Ying, "Mother, can you give this golden Buddha to Yue'er? Yue'er likes it very much!"

Before Zhao Ying could say anything, Heng Luan said in a cold voice, "No!"

Everyone looked at Heng Luan. Shangguan Shu frowned unhappily and looked at Heng Luan with a warning look.

Heng Luan, however, seemed not to notice it, and continued to say to Zhao Ying, "Your Highness, this golden Buddha belongs to me!"

Zhao Ying raised her eyebrows, but before she could say anything, Shangguan Qingyue snorted, "If you say it's yours, it's yours. Do you have evidence to prove it?"

Heng Luan was furious and pointed at the golden Buddha, "This is the golden body of this monk, why do you need other proof?"

Heng Luan was extremely anxious as the golden body was so close to him but he couldn't get it.

"Your golden body?" Shangguan Shu was almost laughing at the two brothers of the Heng family. He began to consider whether it was dangerous to let such mentally ill people stay around his children. Should he drive them away?

"When I first met you, you were begging for food with your apprentice!"

Heng Luan frowned, stared at Shangguan Shu with deep hatred, and remained silent.

Shangguan Shu was not afraid, and asked Hua Shang again, "Hua Shang, have you ever seen your master have this thing?"

Hua Shang glanced at Heng Luan fearfully, bit his lip and thought for a long time, and finally decided to lie for his master, "No... That's right! This golden Buddha belongs to my master."

Upon hearing this, Heng Luan looked at Hua Shang with a stern gaze, as if asking him why he lied?

Shangguan Shu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and chuckled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

Seeing this, Heng Lin, who was standing by, also stood up and spoke for Heng Luan, "Your Highness, this golden Buddha originally belonged to my brother, but was lost in an accident. I beg you to return the golden Buddha to my brother!"

Shangguan Qingyue wrinkled his face and pouted his lips, [I won’t give it to you, I won’t give it to you. If I give it back to you, you will kill me again…]

When his mother, father, brother and sister heard this, although they didn't quite understand it, they still understood the word "kill". This was the apple of their eyes... They would never return the golden Buddha to Heng Luan even if they died. The eyes they looked at Heng Luan turned cold.

Shangguan Qiyou said directly, "You don't have to go back to the palace with me after the banquet today!"

Humph! He will teach those who bully the little fat guy a lesson!
