Chapter 1923 - 470: Beauty Trap, Death Approaches
Zhang Huasheng was immersed in Yun Ya’s transfer of affection and didn’t notice the peculiar vase, angrily saying, "Don’t think you can fool me with a few words. Compared to Master, you’re still a bit naive."
He understood Yun Ya’s hatred towards Ji Lanyi, but no matter how much she hated, she shouldn’t joke about her marriage. How could there be any happiness in this political marriage?
He was afraid Yun Ya would regret it later...
Besides, hasn’t she already been engaged to that Yan Family boy? What transfer of affection? He understood this disciple’s temperament, how could he not see her being two-faced?
"No matter what Master thinks, the path is laid out before you; if you don’t walk it, you still have to walk it."
Xiao Nan crouched down, carefully picked up the shattered vase, but couldn’t help but wonder, how did this perfectly fine vase break? It was very strange.
"You... you infuriate me." Zhang Huasheng couldn’t continue speaking and stormed off angrily.
Yun Ya sat there calmly, her lips curled, glancing at the window.
Xiao Nan looked at Yun Ya in confusion, and Yun Ya gently shook her head.
Xiao Nan was momentarily stunned, lowered her head to tidy up the broken porcelain, and turned to leave.
The room quieted down, Yun Ya gently closed her eyes, a soft breeze brushed past her ear, lifting a strand of hair at her temple, like someone’s fingers tenderly across her cheek.
The corners of Yun Ya’s mouth imperceptibly curved into a smile.
——
Agunara stayed in the hospital; things weren’t good. One moment he was clear-headed, the next he was speaking gibberish that no one understood.
Simon blamed Lorde for this, insisting that his violent beating of the Prince last night caused nerve damage to the Prince’s brain, possibly endangering his life. Even though the other party is Sangque’s son, their Lais Country must seek justice for the Prince, righteously indignant.
Simon had already telegraphed the King, telling him everything about the Prince. The King was very angry, but momentarily indecisive; he was afraid of offending Sangque but couldn’t swallow this insult, an outright slap in the face; he merely said he’d consider it further and must take good care of the Prince.
Immediately afterward, King Lais secretly contacted Queen; after all, the incident occurred on her territory, and Queen must express an attitude.
Queen first expressed her apologies; the incident happened on her territory, so she bore some responsibility. She would spare no effort to heal the Prince, as for Young Master Lorde, she believed there must be some misunderstanding between them, in short, she was mudding the waters.
After hanging up the phone, Queen sneered.
"Why did the two of them fight?"
Ziyu immediately replied, "Prince Agunara tried to assault the Princess and was caught by Young Master Lorde, who saved the Princess and then got into a conflict with Prince Agunara, accidentally hitting the Prince...."
"My daughter really is quite irresistible; even the usually calm and restrained Young Master Lorde fought for her, truly beyond my expectations." It was unclear if this was sarcasm... or mockery.
Butler Ziyu immediately dropped his head, "But Prince Agunara’s head isn’t seriously injured, yet for some reason, he’s sometimes sane, sometimes delirious, it’s truly strange."
"Even if he didn’t cause the injury, let it be that he did."
"You mean...?"
The woman turned with a wave of her sleeve, her distant voice traveled coldly, untouched by any human warmth.
"The murkier the water, the more entertaining."
Butler Ziyu immediately grasped her meaning.
"Lorde, what exactly happened with this matter?" Sangque’s authoritative voice came from the phone.
The man stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, holding the phone close to his ear with one hand, the other casually tucked into his pocket, cold eyes staring at the vast sky and sea outside, his voice icy like shards of glass.
"It’s exactly as you heard."
"I know my son well, it’s impossible he’d do something so impulsive for a woman; I think King Lais is just seizing the opportunity to stir up trouble. Don’t bother with this; I’ll take care of it."
"Find a chance to hurry back; that place isn’t one to linger at. You can’t possibly be unaware of that woman’s ambition. Humph... wanting my beloved son to become her son-in-law to indirectly control me? I won’t let her succeed."
The man’s thick brows knitted tightly, and he pursed his thin lips.
"Did you hear what I said?" The voice on the other end turned stern.
He understood his father’s concerns; Queen was an extremely dangerous woman. If one cannot control someone like her, they must destroy her. Although her ultimate aim is unknown, it’s clear her ambition is vast. Her power must be curtailed before it expands further, and he mustn’t become a pawn she uses to manipulate his father.
