Chapter 474 - 471: Good Thing_1
Fang Lao felt uneasy but couldn’t stop the Crown Prince from entering the palace. After all, the eunuch sent by the Emperor was still waiting; it wouldn’t be good to delay too long.
Fang Lao could only advise the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, if the Emperor asks how this matter should be handled, you must remember to play the role of a good elder brother well before the Emperor. Just say that King Liang was momentarily confused, and suggest to the Emperor... at this crucial moment of peace negotiations between Daliang and the Jin Kingdom, to keep this matter under wraps!"
"Don’t worry, Fang Lao! I’ll remember!" The Crown Prince straightened his sleeves, held Quan Yu’s hand, and got into the carriage.
Seeing the Crown Prince leave, Fang Lao immediately sent someone to Master Wang, the Minister of Rites’ residence, to investigate the situation.
The sky had already brightened. At the breakfast stalls, common folks gathered in small groups, discussing excitedly about someone reportedly having seen King Liang disheveled, being escorted out from the side door of the Minister of Rites Master Wang’s residence by Liu Ruofu, the Princess of Nandu. It was even said that the two were engaging in flirtatious behavior at the door.
"Is it true? Wasn’t the Princess of Nandu Liu Ruofu proposed to by the Fourth Prince of Daliang?"
"Sigh! Daliang has been beaten so badly by our Princess of Zhen that even their commander Xun Tianzhang is dead! How could the Princess of Nandu marry off to Daliang?!"
"That’s true..."
Not long after, Liu Ruofu woke up. When she saw herself in the mirror, she nearly collapsed.
Her cherished snow-white skin was full of marks, and there was glaring red on the bed. Her body felt like it had been beaten, the pain was unbearable.
