Chapter 707: Shu Yue sneaks around in the back hall

Zhang Zhirou poured Shu He another cup of tea and said, "Forget it, sister. Don't think too much about it. The poisoning has been dealt with now."

"After General Zhenli and his men appeased the guests, my brother and General Bei came to me and said that things were not going well in the palace today, so they asked me to come and watch over you."

Shu He was first seriously injured and then poisoned. Now her eyesight is not very good and she can't see clearly at a distance. Today, the mansion is not peaceful and there are all kinds of people. She also feels that it is safer to come here to keep watch.

Shu He knew they were all doing this for her own good, and a grateful smile appeared on her solemn face. "Go back and thank your brother and the others for me."

Zhang Zhirou smiled and nodded.

There is no need to thank them, this is what they should do.

"Today, I have to thank you, sister. It's rare that you have the courage to even scold the King of Zhao for me."

Zhang Zhirou was furious when the King of Zhao was mentioned. "That bastard King of Zhao is like a madman all day long. I wonder if he has a problem with his brain!"

"During the wedding ceremony, wasn't he afraid of angering Shen Ziyan and offending Beidi by saying that?"

"I thought that Lao Ba married Shen Ziyan in order to form a secret alliance with Shen Chuan, but now it seems that they didn't form an alliance! I guess Shen Chuan didn't like Lao Ba."

Otherwise, Old Eight wouldn't be so disrespectful to Shen Ziyan.

Shu He held the green jade teacup, but he did not feel as relaxed as Zhang Zhirou thought.

The emperor just said that Shen Ziyan's marriage partner was chosen by her after the Shanghe Mansion incident. In other words, Shen Ziyan herself asked the emperor for the marriage partner, Lao Ba.

If there is really nothing innocent between Beidi and Lao Ba, then why would Shen Ziyan choose Lao Ba?

Are you interested in Lao Ba?

But judging from the situation just now, they are clearly "disgusted with each other"!

Shu He put down the teacup and asked Zhang Zhirou, "If Beidi and Lao Ba really formed an alliance, Arou, do you think they would want others to know?"

"Of course not!" Zhang Zhirou blurted out. After she finished speaking, her eyes lit up and she suddenly understood. "Sister, are you saying that they are deliberately putting on a show for outsiders to see?"

Only if the relationship between Prince Zhao and Shen Ziyan is not good, or even terrible, will the emperor and others relax their vigilance against the Eighth Brother, right?

They would also think, as Zhang Zhirou just thought, that Lao Ba and Bei Di had not reached a cooperation, which was why the relationship between the two couples was so bad.

Shu He nodded. Judging from various aspects, the way these two people get along with each other really seems to be done on purpose for others to see.

"Prince Zhao and Shen Ziyan are truly cunning! If you hadn't told us, we would have been fooled by them!"

I guess the emperor was also deceived?

Shu He looked hesitant, "I'm just guessing about this..." After all, I can't be sure.

"Clap!"

There was the sound of a jade bowl breaking and a muffled groan coming from outside the door.

Zhang Zhirou's expression changed slightly, "Sister, I'll go out and take a look."

Shu He sat at the table, watching Zhang Zhirou's leaving back, with a cold glint in his eyes.

She poured another cup of tea, as if waiting for something.

When Zhang Zhirou opened the door, she saw Yuezhen lying on the ground outside, and the food she had prepared was scattered all over the floor.

There was a noise coming from behind the rockery outside the hall. Zhang Zhirou turned around and saw a plain figure flash by.

"Who?!"

She shouted coldly, and the figure paused slightly, looking at her in a panic.

When their eyes met, fear appeared on her face and she quickly ran to the front yard.

"Shu Yue?!"

Zhang Zhirou frowned, a look of confusion on her face.

How come Shu Yue is here?

"stop!"

Zhang Zhirou chased after her, and at the junction of the front yard and the middle yard, she caught Shu Yue, who was dressed in plain clothes.

"I told you to stop, but you ran away. Why are you running?!"

Zhang Zhirou grabbed her collar, a hint of disgust in her eyes. Wasn't she sent to the Ninth Prince's residence? Why was she here?

Shu Yue's face was unevenly swollen, and large patches of her thick makeup had fallen off, revealing the bruises beneath. She looked not only disheveled but also slovenly and messy, making one feel uncomfortable just by looking at her.

"You, why are you arresting me?!" Shu Yue's face showed fear, and she curled up into a ball, looking like she was being bullied.

The banquet hall was not far from this location, and her crying attracted the attention of people nearby.

Someone saw Shu Yue, terrified and with her clothes being grabbed, and immediately walked over angrily, "Miss, this is Prince Li's mansion, and this is the wedding ceremony of the prince and princess. How dare you hit someone in a place like this?"

Zhang Zhirou was stunned for a moment and said, "When did I hit anyone?"

"This girl's face is covered in wounds, and you still say you didn't beat her? If it wasn't you, then why did you grab her?"

Another person came over and accused Zhang Zhirou, "You, young lady, you hit her too hard! Who are you? How dare you hit someone in Prince Li's mansion? You're so brave!"

Shu Yue lowered her head and said nothing, but her frail figure made the men feel pity for her.

"I didn't hit her! She was already like this when I saw her!" Zhang Zhirou said coldly, glancing at the two men impatiently.

She was too lazy to bother with these people, so she simply grabbed Shu Yue's arm and dragged her towards the main hall, "Come with me to see my sister!"

"Don't catch me, don't hit me, I won't go, I won't go anywhere!" Shu Yue's face changed and she sat down on the ground.

While struggling to break free from Zhang Zhirou's hand, she cried out to the people around her, "Sirs, help me! I don't know this lady. Please save me!"

Shu Yue's crying attracted more people to watch, including some minor officials who were attending the wedding banquet, as well as some housekeepers and subordinates in the officials' families.

I don’t know if they wanted to show off or what, but those officials who usually didn’t see the suffering stood up and scolded Zhang Zhirou.

"Let that woman go!"

Ma Zhiyuan, a fourth-rank official in the Honglu Temple, was a prominent figure in Kyoto. Seeing Zhang Zhirou carrying a weak woman, he immediately felt a surge of justice and ordered someone to arrest Zhang Zhirou.

"You are such a brave woman! How dare you beat someone up in public in Prince Li's mansion!"

"Come here! Capture this bold woman and send her to the Dali Temple to await punishment!"

After all, he was a fourth-rank official and had several people under him. As soon as he finished speaking, someone came up to arrest Zhang Zhirou.

Zhang Zhirou's face changed slightly, and she immediately spoke, "I'm Zhang Zhirou, the adopted sister of Princess Li. I just caught her sneaking around in the backyard, so I'm going to take her to Princess Li!"

"My dear gentlemen, please stop meddling in other people's business!"
