Chapter 141: Falling Like a Dog
The moment Shangguan Ziling stepped into the front hall, the originally dull atmosphere was instantly broken. Jun Yaotian's eyes were fixed on her like a hungry wolf, with a gleam of surprise and desire in his eyes. He had never felt Shangguan Ziling's charm so clearly. Her cold and noble temperament made him feel moved, and he regretted why he had not cherished her before.
Shangguan Zirun saw Jun Yaotian's expression and understood. He coughed lightly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere, "Sister, why don't you meet the prince?" His voice revealed his protection and concern for his sister.
Shangguan Ziling heard this and a mischievous smile appeared on her lips. She winked at Shangguan Zirun, as if telling him not to worry. Then she perfunctorily bowed to Jun Yaotian and said, "Meet the Crown Prince." There was a hint of alienation and indifference in her tone, as if she was deliberately keeping a distance.
"Ziling, you don't have to be so polite." Jun Yaotian stared at Shangguan Ziling, his eyes full of affection and desire. His voice was gentle and low, as if he was afraid of disturbing the beauty in front of him.
However, Shangguan Ziling didn't care about Jun Yaotian's tenderness. She rolled her eyes, with obvious impatience and disgust on her face. She said lightly: "I have nothing to say to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince alone." Her tone was firm and decisive, revealing an unquestionable determination.
Jun Yaotian's face changed slightly when he heard this. He obviously didn't expect Shangguan Ziling to reject his request so directly. He stood there in a daze, his eyes full of surprise and disappointment. The people around him were also stunned by this sudden change, and the whole hall fell into a dead silence.
Jun Yaotian did not get angry, but continued in a flattering tone: "Zi Ling, I was wrong in the past and was a little cold to you. Don't worry, as long as you marry me, I will love and pamper you from now on." His words were full of tenderness and affection, as if he wanted to hold Shangguan Zi Ling in his hands and protect her.
However, these sweet words did not move Shangguan Ziling's heart. She still looked at Jun Yaotian coldly without making any response.
At this moment, Mo Shaoxie strode in. His appearance immediately broke the awkward atmosphere. He stared at Jun Yaotian with sharp eyes and asked in a cold tone: "My princess doesn't need to be spoiled by others. I am the king's spoiler. Prince, do you really not take me seriously and openly provoke me?" His words revealed a strong warning and threat, which made Jun Yaotian feel an inexplicable pressure.
Jun Yaotian froze, and didn't react for a long time. He obviously didn't expect Mo Shaoxie to come suddenly. He stared at Mo Shaoxie with wide eyes and astonishment, his face was ugly.
The atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became tense. Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie stood side by side, their presence seemed to form a solid barrier, isolating Jun Yaotian from the outside.
Jun Yaotian stood there, in a dilemma, with resentment and anger in his heart. However, he was also aware of his identity and status, and did not dare to offend Mo Shaoxie, a powerful enemy.
Finally, Jun Yaotian took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil. He raised his head, trying to keep himself calm and rational, and then faced Mo Shaoxie's murderous gaze and said, "The Regent has misunderstood. This prince has no intention of challenging your authority. It's just that this prince and Zi Ling are truly in love, and you forced us to separate."
Mo Shaoxie exuded a chill that was bone-chilling, sharp and ruthless. He stared at Jun Yaotian, his eyes revealing a superior and invincible momentum, as if Jun Yaotian was just a speck of dust under his feet.
"Oh? You really love each other? I am going to separate you by force?" Mo Shaoxie's voice revealed a kind of sarcasm and ridicule.
Jun Yaotian felt cold all over, as if he was enveloped by a cold current. His body trembled involuntarily, as if he had fallen into a huge ice cellar. The air around him seemed to be frozen, making him feel suffocated.
He stared at Mo Shaoxie with wide eyes, as if he saw a demon from hell. His heart was pounding, and his blood seemed to be frozen. He had never felt such intense fear and uneasiness, as if he could be swallowed up by Mo Shaoxie at any time.
The entire hall seemed to be enveloped by Mo Shaoxie's icy breath. The temperature dropped sharply, making people feel a bone-chilling chill. Jun Yaotian felt as if he was in a world of ice and snow, surrounded by endless cold and darkness.
He clenched his hands tightly, trying to dispel the coldness in his body, but the cold feeling never went away. His face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he could no longer speak.
Mo Shaoxie put his arm around Shangguan Ziling's slender waist, his action was overbearing and strong, showing his deep love and possessiveness. His eyes were as cold as ice, and his voice was as cold as iron, "Prince, you should go back to your East Palace and stop embarrassing yourself." His words were full of sarcasm and contempt, as if Jun Yaotian was just an insignificant clown in his eyes.
Jun Yaotian was so irritated by Mo Shaoxie's words that his whole body tensed up, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes widened, and his angry gaze burned like flames. He looked at Mo Shaoxie holding Shangguan Ziling's waist indignantly, his heart filled with endless anger and frustration.
His eyes were red as he glared at Shangguan Ziling, and he asked through gritted teeth: "Ziling, tell me, do you still love this prince and dislike the regent?" His tone revealed a kind of despair and unwillingness, as if he was begging Shangguan Ziling to give him a positive answer.
However, Shangguan Ziling lay lazily in Mo Shaoxie's arms, her voice calm and firm, "I think between the Crown Prince and the Regent, I prefer the Regent." Her answer was simple and direct, leaving no room for Jun Yaotian.
Mo Shaoxie looked down at Shangguan Ziling, his eyes full of pampering and admiration, and he raised his eyebrows slightly.
Shangguan Dong and Shangguan Zirun looked at the two people who were being affectionate with each other and felt a little embarrassed.
Jun Yaotian's face turned pale and he looked angry. He glared at Shangguan Dong and Shangguan Zirun and said, "I am not feeling well. I will take my leave now." Then he stormed out.
Shangguan Dong said: "This old minister respectfully sends the prince off."
Jun Yaotian snorted coldly without turning his head.
Mo Shaoxie flicked his finger lightly, sending out an almost invisible gust of wind, which quickly and accurately hit Jun Yaotian who was about to step out of the door.
Jun Yaotian was caught off guard, staggered, and fell directly to the ground, in an awkward posture of a dog eating shit.
