Chapter 86: Was she just pretending to obey him?

  Yan Beichen knew that some people outside were saying he was good to Zhou Shui Bi, but even though Zhou Shui Bi had stood in front of him many times, he still didn't know what she looked like.

  If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Jie and Zhou Shui Bi had a good relationship, he needed to know some news about Xiao Jie through Zhou Shui Bi. With Zhou Shui Bi being such a hypocritical and deceitful person, how could he possibly let her enter the Regent Prince's Manor?

  However, every time Zhou Shui Bi brings him news, it's always bad news!

  This time...

  "The Regent, I have come today as a representative of my daughter to plead on behalf of Jin Shu!"

  Zhou Shui Bi "thudded" and knelt on the ground: "Regent King, after my daughter was punished by you that day, she returned to the mansion, but didn't enjoy her food or sleep at night, constantly reflecting - my daughter is guilty, clearly knowing that Regent King has taken a liking to Jin Shu, yet helped her escape from the palace..."

  "So you're here to take the blame?" Yan Beizheng picked up an empty teacup from the table, a cruel smile spreading across his face: "Ye Ming, take this sinner away..."

  "Regent!" Zhou Shui Bi hastily interrupted Yan Bei Cheng's words, the punishment of the Shura King was worse than death, how could she dare to really take the blame?

  She hastily said: "My daughter has offended the Regent King, my daughter knows her fault, but my daughter does not think she did anything wrong!"

  "Jin Xiu loved the Second Prince deeply, and had done many shocking things for him. Her feelings were too strong, so even if she knew that the Second Prince was secretly with Bai Cai Die, she would only be angry at him for a while and say some harsh words!"

  "The day before yesterday, my daughter went to the Yong'an Marquis's residence to see Jin Shu. Her face was wan and her eyes were filled with sorrow. She personally told my daughter that she had come to realize that someone of the Second Prince's status could not possibly have only one woman, and that she indeed didn't have any special abilities..."

  "...She decided to accept the Second Prince's arrangement and enter the Second Prince's mansion as Shen Die's concubine!"

  She carefully observed Yan Beizheng and found that his face was getting uglier, continuing to fan the flames.

  "But... Jin Xiu said that the Regent King's side would not let her go, she had no other choice but to follow the Regent King for now. She could only wait until the Spring Day Banquet tomorrow, in front of the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and Empress, and all the officials, to clearly express her feelings towards the Second Prince..."

  Jin Shu said that as long as they catch the Regent off guard and settle things with the Second Prince, not even the Regent will be able to stop her again!

  "Your Majesty! I am Jin Xiu's best friend, I don't want to see her suffer for love, nor can I bear to see you get hurt because of a woman who doesn't have you in her heart!"

  "I beg your pardon again, Your Highness, and ask that you release Jin Xiu, allowing her to pursue the emotions she truly desires!"

  "After all, if it really gets out of hand at the Spring Festival banquet, it would be a loss of face for the Regent King, the Second Prince, and Jin Xiu!"

  "Are you saying that I am not the one she wants? That the emotions I give her are not what she desires?" Yan Beichen's deep eyes shot out a cold, icy light, as if they would turn into sharp blades and slaughter all living things in the next second!!

  Sheng Jinxiu! Could it be that she was just pretending to obey him?

  Sheng Jinxiu! You actually thought you could catch him off guard at the Spring Festival banquet?

  Sheng Jinxiu! She actually didn't mind ruining her own and his reputation to stand by Yan Ziyuan's side?

  She has already become his queen after ascending to the imperial jade disc, yet she still wants to be Yan Ziyuan's concubine?!

  She deceived him again! And so thoroughly too!

  But he actually thought she really cut off her relationship with Yan Ziyan and wanted to get along well with him!

  She acted so genuinely, he almost believed it!

  Still racking his brains, wondering if he should treat her in a gentler manner.

  But she wasted the last chance he gave her!!
