Chapter Eight: He Who Flirts First is a Scoundrel!

"Your servant's daughter, the daughter of the Prince of Zhongyi, did not intend to cause offense. I beg the Prince Regent for forgiveness!"

Zhan Lingfeng knelt on one knee, his hands clasped in a fist, addressing the man to plead for mercy!

The Prince Regent stepped through the crowd and walked to the front of Zhan Lingfeng. He bowed slightly with an elegant posture. "Prince of Zhongyi, please rise!"

Zhan Lingfeng was helped up by his feigned support, and the soaring momentum in his eagle-like eyes retracted significantly!

"This King happened to leave the palace by chance today and was planning to come see Beichen. I did not expect the Prince of Zhongyi to be here as well!" He then looked around, a faint smile playing on his lips. "It seems you all appear to be engaged in a martial arts sparring session?"

With just a few words, the Prince Regent directly defused the conflict!

This feeling was damn annoying!

Others might not hear it, but Zhan Xiaojiu knew exactly what was going on!

This Prince Regent seemed like a difficult person to deal with!

She had clearly just stoked her cheap father's anger, intending to have him teach Gu Beichen a lesson on her behalf, but she hadn't expected a third party to crash the party!

The Prince Regent's actions seemed unintentional, but they were clearly purposeful!

What he said was obviously providing an excuse for her cheap father's presence here, while simultaneously giving Gu Beichen a way out!

Motherfucker!

This man with the incredibly bewitching looks had ruined her plans the moment he appeared!

They were destined not to be friends!

"Prince Regent, this..."

Zhan Lingfeng seemed unwilling to let it go just yet. Just as he was about to speak up in protest, Zhan Xiaojiu suddenly stepped forward, clutching her stomach miserably and pulling at his arm. "Daddy, I... my stomach hurts..."

Upon hearing that Xiaojiu's stomach hurt, Zhan Lingfeng ignored the Prince Regent without a second thought and flashed to her side, his cold eyes filled with worry. "Xiaojiu, how are you? Liuyun, go find a physician!"

Zhan Lingfeng's urgency caused a faint sense of guilt to rise in Zhan Xiaojiu's heart!

This Prince Regent was no good; she decided to head back home first and then devise a plan!

However, if everything in the world went according to one's wishes, Zhan Xiaojiu wouldn't be cursing in her heart right now!

"Wait!" It was Ning Xue!

Zhan Xiaojiu was truly on the verge of wilting!

If she had known, she wouldn't have come to join the fun today; it would have been much better to just let her cheap father beat Gu Beichen to death!

She saw Ning Xue speak, her lotus-like steps moving with rhythm, her waist swaying as she walked up to the Prince Regent. "Ning Xue greets Imperial Uncle!"

"Xue'er, rise! What is the matter?"

Xue'er?!

Holy crap, this grudge is going to be massive!

Zhan Xiaojiu held her stomach and leaned against Zhan Lingfeng, acting weak, but her eyes, shimmering like starlight, were fixed unblinkingly on the Prince Regent!

This guy was truly good-looking!

However... Zhan Xiaojiu sniffed lightly, and an unusual scent drifted into her nose on the wind!

She narrowed her eyes, her interest piqued, as if she had invisibly realized something!

"Imperial Uncle, it is true that this Miss Zhan is injured, but she clearly brought this upon herself! Furthermore, today, she actually incited the Prince of Zhongyi to come here to provoke the Second Prince. Such an act of contempt for the dignity of the Imperial Family—I ask Imperial Uncle to make a judgment!"

Zhan Xiaojiu let out a soft, mocking laugh!

Ning Xue, may I ask, are you a pig?!

Did you not hear what your Imperial Uncle just said?

He was already attempting to settle the matter peacefully!

Sure enough, under Zhan Xiaojiu's piercing gaze, she clearly captured a flash of displeasure and coldness in the depths of the Prince Regent's eyes!

But she felt that now was the time for her to make her entrance!

"Prince Regent, what Miss Ning said is indeed correct! Today's matter indeed originated because of me! I was injured by the Second Prince's horse, which was also my own fault! If the Prince Regent wishes to punish someone, then punish Xiaojiu!"

She was joking; the moment the Prince Regent appeared, she had already seen all the reservations he had regarding her old man!

As the saying goes, he who flirts first is a scoundrel; she wanted to see just how much this Prince Regent could do!
