Chapter 1276: A Double Meaning
no matter how the young imperial physician pleaded or explained himself, the Empress remained adamant. She insisted on having him dragged down and beheaded immediately, giving no one a chance to inte...Eleven was stifling a laugh beside him, thinking to herself when did her sixth brother become so good at fighting back
His words emphasized that his war horse had followed him into battle and made great military achievements, so no matter what happened today, Cheng Ruer wouldn't be able to touch a single hair on this war horse.
Furthermore, he deliberately described the villain as hideous-looking, clearly implying that Cheng Ru'er was the so-called hideous villain.
The idiom was quite clever, and Eleven thought she managed to control herself. At least she didn't burst out laughing in this situation.
Cheng Ru'er and the guards beside her naturally could also hear what Yunliu meant.
"You...you!"
Cheng Ru'er's trembling hand pointed at Yun Liu, she was so angry that she didn't know what to say. She glared at Yun Liu unwillingly, wishing she could kill this dog slave with her eyes.
In her eyes, people like Yunliu were nothing more than servants to Mo Yunjing and weren't worth her attention.
She certainly wouldn't allow just some lowly servant to bully her like this.
At this moment, meeting Yunliu's gaze, she saw nothing but indifference and playful mockery in his eyes. She felt a shiver run down her spine and instinctively lowered her head.
Yunliu saw all of her expressions, a cold smile flashed in his heart, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up with a faint sneer, did she even deserve to be here acting tough
For some reason, the scene fell silent all of a sudden, and the atmosphere froze.
After a moment, Cheng Ru'er's two guards came to their senses and walked to her side, helping her up. "Miss, are you alright"
Cheng Ru'er's face darkened. After she steadied herself, she acted like a bridge builder who dismantles the bridge after crossing it, waving her hands forcefully to shove the two people who had helped her aside.
She clenched her fists and glared at Yunliu, "Where is the King of Beijang"
Yunliu and Shiyi glanced at each other, then simultaneously dismounted their horses.
The two walked up to Cheng Ru'er and didn't even bother with polite greetings.
Yunliu glanced at the dozen or so guards behind Cheng Ru'er, then coldly said:
"Our prince is extremely busy, with a thousand affairs to attend to every day. I mentioned this yesterday, but I'm not sure if Miss Cheng has actually heard me. The weather is unpredictable, and hearing often becomes an issue as people age. So, I can't be certain if you've actually heard me."
"..."
Cheng Ru'er instantly felt a surge of anger. She glared menacingly at Yunliu before her.
He's nothing but a lowborn servant, daring to insult him again and again!
So you've really reached your wit's end, haven't you
Her anger continued to rise, but unfortunately, even though he knew she was furious and on the verge of losing it, Yun Liu's face remained completely calm and unchanged, showing no sign that he cared about her at all.
Even, looking at her like this, a disdainful flash crossed Yunliu's eyes.
Eleven suddenly burst into laughter, instantly grabbing everyone's attention.
He raised an eyebrow and spoke before Cheng Ru'er, "Miss Cheng, please don't misunderstand. My sixth brother is just a bit straightforward. Like his warhorse, he does whatever he dislikes. Miss Cheng, please don't take him seriously."
Listen to what he's saying, isn't that just saying Yunliu is right But he's straightforward, whatever he has to say, he says it directly. That's why his honest words offended people.
The two of them sang and countered each other, making Cheng Ru'er almost furious.
But she was even more aware here that she couldn't act recklessly, at least not toward the two people in front of her. After all, they were confidants of King Beijang.
Gritting her teeth, she finally endured it and continued, “I want to see the King of Beijang. The Emperor has an imperial decree for him; he cannot refuse to come and receive it, or else he would be showing great disrespect.”
"…"
Yunliu didn't give her any face at all. In front of everyone, he immediately laughed and said:
It's fine if outsiders don't know, but Miss Cheng, you shouldn't be unaware. When has our prince ever cared about an imperial decree If a mere decree could scare our prince, then we wouldn't call you 'Miss Cheng' today, would we What do you think, Miss Cheng
I have to say, Yunliu's language skills today are exceptional. What seems like casual words always hit Cheng Ru'er right in the feels, making her extremely embarrassed.
The so-called "not taking imperial edicts seriously" is not just about how the former King of Beijiang repeatedly ignored the emperor's marriage decree. Now that Yunliu is saying this, she's completely slapping him in the face.
"You..."
"Ai, Miss Cheng, don't get angry." Shi Yi interrupted Cheng Ru'er again before she could explode, not giving her a chance to speak at all.
He smiled at Cheng Ru'er, “My sixth brother is indeed not very good with words, Miss Cheng, please forgive him. But what he said is true, our prince doesn’t care about so-called marriage edicts.”
"If Miss Cheng is here again for this kind of matter, then please don't waste your effort. Our prince truly doesn't have the time or energy to deal with such things."
After finishing his words, Eleven addressed the dozens of soldiers stationed at the gate. His voice was chillingly cold, instilling fear in their hearts:
"This is a military stronghold, trespassers are forbidden. If something like this happens again, just drive them away. There's no need to bother the prince over such trivial matters."needle, this unknown substance deviated from its trajectory and failed to enter Eleven's eyes.Eleven this time leapt, straight back to An Xuetang's side.An Xuetang gave him a reassuring look, then tur...
