CH 2

The guards went inside the Princess’s bedroom. Obeying Situ’s instructions, they escorted the imperial doctor out of the room.

He only realized the seriousness of the matter at this moment as he hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Unfortunately for him, it was too late.

The sounds of him pleading for mercy caused Situ’s brows to tingle with chills.

Why didn’t the original owner make them beg by giving up their dignity and let them off easy instead of inflicting punishment?

What a bleak ending!

After meeting Situ’s icy gaze, the imperial doctor suddenly fell silent.

When did this gentle and naive Princess emanate such a permeating aura? Maintaining his gaze, it was as if he was staring at the eyes of a…dead person.

The system appeared and said in a tone full of arrogance.

[This was the only female Goddess of War in the Realm of the Gods. She had killed countless demons, so her aura is naturally prominent, a unique intent that was only wielded by one in a thousand.]

How could a mortal being ever try to compare?

On the other hand, Shi Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

Her Highness was maintaining her murderous temper today; that’s good.

As always, even if you are the eldest princess, you will not be able to escape the fate of betrayal.

Thinking of this, Shi Ying’s mouth curved into an evil arc.

So much for being a so-called Princess. In the end, she’s still playing around in the palms of my hands.

Sensing the hostility beside her, Situ bent her lips and looked at Shi Ying with a half-smile.

Looking at the red mark on her neck, Situ smiled sarcastically.

This person really doesn’t have a good memory, but it was more fun to toy with her that way.

The system suddenly felt a chill on the back.

It knew that its Host was going to do something.

“Everyone else can leave; this Princess will deal with the offender myself.”

Situ glanced around, standing tall and proud as the maids immediately backed away and excused themselves, letting out a sigh of relief.

Today, Her Highness was really scary.

To be flogged 20 times was no minor issue; the old imperial doctor would probably going to have only half his life remaining after the punishment.

The room was empty as only Shi Ying was left.

“This humble servant will guard beside Her Highness so that no one will say that you’re not acting according to etiquette.”

Shi Ying bit her lip, appearing to be loyal to her master.

[Ah, this woman likes to suck up to people— what a green tea(1)]

(T/N: A common term to call women with beautiful outer appearances but dark inner passions and wicked thoughts. In short, women who appear to be something good when they’re not]

Even a system didn’t want to see how this would end up.

[Even a green tea would smell better than her; how is she a green tea? She had about the same scents as a bed bug.]

The corners of the mouth of the system were drawn slightly when it heard the Host’s reply.

It forgot that the Host was a Goddess from a Realm that spoke of the Divine and the Holy, so it was natural for her to not understand modern terms like those.

It was indeed unreasonable for a man and a woman to remain alone. But when those words came out of Shi Ying’s mouth, the overall feel changed.

Situ raised her eyes and glanced at Shi Ying’s neck marks.

Looks like I do have some trash to clean up; what immoral behavior!

“What is etiquette? As long as this Princess is in the Great Sheng Empire for one day, I am the etiquette!”

The only Princess of the Great Sheng Empire, who held the power of the military troops, could participate in politics and discussions.

This honor was not something that every Princess had the liberty to enjoy.

That woman is merely a cheap maid; what was there to be afraid of?

[The Host is domineering!]

Shi Ying was shocked at her retort. Today, Her Highness seemed to be… a different person!

Fortunately, Shi Ying responded quickly, but she sounded like she was about to cry,

“Yes, this servant is aware and will excuse herself.”

Taking her leave as an advance, Shi Ying didn’t believe that Her Highness would actually let her go just like that.

However, when Shi Ying stepped out of the hall with one foot, Situ did nothing to stop her.

If she did anything wrong in the past, Shi Ying only needed to lower her head and start crying. Then, the Princess would soften her heart and forgive her servant.

Shi Ying turned back in confusion, just in time to lock her gaze with Situ’s cold eyes.

Those eyes were as chilly as ice cubes that have been quenched by the skies of the twelfth moon. Just a glance at those cold orbs made her blood feel like it was flowing backwards against her veins.

For the first time, Shi Ying felt both terror and fear.

Seeing Shi Ying trotting out of the hall, Situ snorted in disdain.

How dare she try to plot against her with such courage? How funny.
