The evil woman is arrogant and the cold emperor can't sleep at night

"Don't be so foolish. This prince will never marry a woman as vicious as you! This prince is attracted to a simple and gentle beauty like Wan'er, who is completely different from a vicious person like you!

Even if you continue to pester me, I will definitely break off the engagement with you and marry Wan'er instead. Even if you report this to your grandmother and father, it will be in vain!"

Mu Jun was full of contempt and humiliated her harshly with sarcastic words.

I thought Shen Tangan would hide at home and dare not show up after the last incident of falling into the water, but I didn't expect that she would dare to chase him into the palace.

"My daughter has met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Shen Tangan did not confront him, but just bowed slightly and saluted.

"Have you learned to act hypocritically?"

Seeing how polite she was, Mu Jun sneered, thinking that she knew he liked gentle and considerate women, so she tried to pretend to be gentle and virtuous to flatter him?

It’s simply whimsical!

There is only Wan'er in his heart!

"Your Highness, you have misunderstood. I just happened to meet you. I am definitely not pestering you as you said. Although I do not want to marry you, this marriage was decided by your Majesty. I cannot influence it. If you insist, you can go and present it to your Majesty."

She was dignified and generous, and even though she suffered such humiliation, she did not show any anger.

"you……"

Mu Jun was speechless. He looked at the person in front of him in shock and even felt a sense of strangeness for a moment.

However, this thought was fleeting, "How dare you use my father to pressure me!"

How could a domineering woman with a bad reputation in the capital city have the qualifications to reject him!

"I dare not. As long as there is an imperial decree to cancel the engagement, I will make it clear that I am separated from Your Highness."

The prince is truly a coward who dares not disobey His Majesty and can only bully her.

To be honest, this marriage was arranged because the royal family was attracted by her family background, which makes it seem like she is marrying above her station.

What about the prince?

Incompetent person!

She doesn't care at all!

"I have something important to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Shen Tangan nodded, not wanting to have any more entanglement with him.

"You stop!"

The prince was furious. Seeing that the other party did not take him seriously at all, he tried to stop her but was ignored. In a rage, he reached out to grab her.

Suddenly, a folding fan blocked him back.

Shen Tangan turned back in surprise, only to find that Prince Chen had been standing behind her without her noticing.

"I have met His Highness King Chen."

Mu Chenye's eyes swept across her and fixed on the prince.

"Emperor...Uncle Emperor."

The prince looked frightened and quickly took two steps back and bowed.

Even though you couldn't see his expression, you could tell he was nervous just from his slightly trembling body.

"In front of so many people, Prince, do you know what is proper behavior?"

Mu Chenye's face was frosty, and his eyes were as cold as a knife, sweeping across his head sharply.

Even so, the prince still felt a bone-chilling chill rising from the soles of his feet. His legs went weak and he fell to his knees.

"Uncle, please forgive me! I offended you in a moment of impulse!"

A trace of shock flashed through Shen Tangan's heart. The prince was so afraid of Prince Chen.

If she clung to the big tree of Prince Chen, wouldn't the Crown Prince be a little afraid of her when he saw her?

He always speaks in a harsh tone every time they meet, and now he has finally met his match!

"It's not the king you're offending."

Mu Chenye's voice was cold, and he turned sideways to reveal Shen Tangan behind him.

"Today I have overstepped my authority."

The prince glanced at her sideways and tilted his head to one side when he spoke. It was obvious that he was not convinced, but because of the presence of Prince Chen, he had to bow his head and admit his mistake.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is able to correct his mistakes, which is a great virtue. Next time, please do not slander me without knowing right from wrong."

If someone else received the prince's salute, they would probably be frightened to death, but Shen Tangan remained calm and even gave him a lecture.

The prince was extremely angry when he heard this, but because his uncle was watching him closely, he could only glare at her angrily and curse her in his heart.

Take measures!

Do you really think you are the elder?

If the emperor’s uncle hadn’t been here, she would have been forced to kowtow and apologize!

Shen Tangan pretended not to see the prince's angry eyes. He lowered his eyes to look at the prince, nodded, and spoke in a low voice.

"Please don't keep me waiting for the imperial decree to annul the engagement."

Anyway, she was not the one who was embarrassed, and the prince must be feeling extremely aggrieved.

"you……"

The prince raised his head suddenly, glared angrily, and gritted his teeth.

"I will go and ask my father to cancel the engagement. Then I will write a divorce letter and discard you, a vicious woman, like a worn-out shoe. I will appoint Wan'er as the Crown Princess!"

Shen Tangan curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer, stood up, and calmly adjusted the hem of his clothes.

"Your Highness wishes for your success."

Although their voices were low, Mu Chenye had excellent hearing and could hear them clearly.

I still remember the rumor that when he heard the legitimate daughter of Marquis Yong'an, she wanted to commit suicide by hitting her head against the wall after learning that the crown prince was going to break off the engagement and marry someone else. But now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Seeing the prince's rage, he quietly blocked his view.

"Be flat."

"Thank you, uncle."

When facing him, the prince regained his cautious appearance and spoke nervously.

"My nephew still has to go and pay his respects to the Emperor, so I'll take my leave now."

Mu Chenye nodded slightly, and the prince left as if escaping.

What he feared most was his uncle, even more than his father.

In the blink of an eye, only Shen Tangan and Mu Chenye were left on the palace road.

She nodded slightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for rescuing me."

"It's just a piece of cake."

Mu Chenye lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on her head for a moment before looking away.

"Your Highness, I am grateful for the small favor you mentioned."

Shen Tangan smiled. If Prince Chen had not intervened, there was no telling how long the Crown Prince would have pestered her, and there would never be a day when the Crown Prince would bow to her.

Everyone says that Prince Chen doesn't like to be close to others, but now it seems that this is not the case. He is clearly a good person who is kind and generous.

However, when he passed by, he couldn't bear to see her being bullied by the prince, so he stepped forward to save her.

If this was a little girl who had never seen the world, wouldn't she be immediately charmed by him?

What's more, he has a good-looking face that is hated by everyone.

"Not worth mentioning."

Mu Chenye was dazzled by her smile and responded in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, are you going to travel with me?"

Hearing the question, he finally reacted. He had unknowingly walked with her along the long palace road, and passed through the palace gate towards the harem.

He actually had moments of distraction, and since he had already walked this far, it was not convenient for him to turn back, so he made up an excuse.

"This prince happens to be going to see the queen mother."

"I see, what a coincidence!"

Shen Tangan had no doubt that if Prince Chen had not gone to see the Queen Mother, they would not have met today.

But she remembered that the Queen Mother was not Prince Chen’s biological mother. The relationship between them must be very complicated, right?

Little did he know that he was about to leave the palace, but turned back when he saw her being bullied from afar.

"Your Majesty, I have to go see my aunt. I will take my leave now."

They have different paths, so it's time for them to part ways here.

"Ah."

Mu Chenye stood still, showing no intention of leaving.
