Shang Yiqing thought that something was wrong with her ears. What? Elder Brother Xiao had shut Southcloud Lanlan in this place because he wanted to save her. What did Elder Brother Xiao mean by that? It turned out that there wasn't just one person who had water in their brains, but Big Brother Xiao as well?
Afraid that Shang Yiqing would not believe her, Ying Ying added, "Big Brother was the one who locked her up here. Furthermore …" Lady Nan was not wrong either … "My elder brother really does like her …"
Could it be that the person Brother Xiao likes is her? Shang Yiqing tried her best to calm herself down as she looked carefully at Nanyu Lan. She saw that Nanyu Lan was like water, her eyes were clear as black mountain water, and her expression was cold, giving people a sense of cunning and elegance. Especially her eyes, which were like the rippling spring water, were bright and clear.
At first, she was annoyed because of Fang Zinan, but now, she was unhappy because of Nan Yulan. She didn't understand why she was unhappy, but when she thought about it a little more, she realized that she was just jealous. That's right, this was definitely jealousy. However, her impression of Xiao Tianyuan increased day by day. Although she knew that it might still be possible if it was in the modern world, it was completely impossible for her to do so in the ancient times. Furthermore, since Fang Zinan loved her so much, she also liked Fang Zinan, so it was completely impossible for her and Xiao Tianyuan to be together. However, she always had a good impression of Xiao Tianyuan. It was hard to say if it was admiration or adoration. She simply had a good impression of him! When she saw the girl Xiao Tianyuan liked, she was truly unhappy. Her heart was a little stuffy, a little sour, and also a little jealous. So this was the kind of girl that Xiao Tianyuan liked. For this girl, he didn't hesitate to violate the might of the heavens to save her.
Thinking of this, Shang Yiqing suddenly said, "Even if Brother Xiao likes her, it won't do. She is an accomplice of the imperial court and has made many moves against the Prince Rong. Since I've met her today, I must capture her."
Ying Ying stopped her once again. "No, my big brother wants me to watch over him. I must ensure her safety, or else I won't be able to explain this to him."
"I don't care about that, I must capture her. Even if it's not for me, I must do it for Fang Zinan." Shang Yiqing's attitude was firm as well. He did not give in at all.
Ying Ying grew anxious. "Princess Rong, listen to me. We won't talk about the grudges between the two of you, but I can't not listen to Big Brother's words. Just give Big Brother some face and give her a hand." As he finished speaking, his tone was close to pleading.
Shang Yiqing remained unmoved. "Yingying, we can discuss other things, but I can't agree to this. I must capture her." Then, Shang Yiqing threw out a punch. Although her martial arts skills weren't good, it was very quick, the moment she said that, Ying Ying realized what had happened, her fist had already reached Nan Yu Lan's chest. Ying Ying immediately returned the punch. She had been blocking in front of Nan Yu Lan, so this punch was very timely.
Shang Yiqing was pushed back by the collision of their fists, but Ying Ying swayed back and forth. Her martial arts were superior to Shang Yiqing's to begin with, so she did not try to take advantage of the fight.
After taking this punch, Shang Yiqing quickly understood one thing. Even if Ying Ying broke off all relations with her today, she would never let her make a move on Yulan. It seemed like Ying Ying had made up her mind not to let her take her away. She didn't want to lay her hands on Ying Ying either, but there was one person in front of her that had truly aroused her anger. That person was, of course, Nan Yulan.
When Nan Yu Lan saw Shang Yiqing and Ying Ying exchange blows, then retreat seven or eight steps, she started to laugh. When she smiled, she looked very pretty, with her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, as if she was a little shrewd, as well as a little mocking, but more of disdain!
How preposterous! When Shang Yiqing saw her expression, her first reaction was one of anger. How dare she laugh at him? Why should she? If it wasn't for the fact that Brother Xiao liked her, given her status, she would have been captured long ago. Yet, she still dares to laugh at me? Shang Yiqing was not happy to begin with, but now, her anger flared up as she pointed at her and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
The smile was still on Nan Yulan's face. She opened her cherry lips and said softly, "No, of course. Measuring. Strength."
Shang Yiqing was flustered, her lips were trembling in anger as she huffed and puffed, "You dare to say that about me?"
South Yu Lan folded her hands, looking at the sky, then the ground, then the ground, then the left, then the right, then the Ying Ying, and finally her eyes fell on Shang Yiqing." Who else can you say?
"I'm going to kill you …" Shang Yiqing, who was in a rage, charged forward like an angry lion, disregarding the consequences.
However, she had failed because of Ying Ying. Ying Ying blocked her again and said in a tone of discussion, "Princess Rong, please don't be impulsive. I don't want to fight with you. For the sake of my big brother, it's best that you don't make things difficult for me."
Shang Yiqing had no grudges with Ying Ying, and they were close friends. She didn't want to hurt Ying Ying at all, but what she couldn't stand was Nan Yulan's gaze, which was filled with disdain and contempt, making her angry. She stared at Nan Yulan and said, "Ying Ying, I don't want to be your enemy either, but she's too despicable. I won't let her go."
"Royal Concubine Rong, please give face to Big Brother and me and let it go this time." Of course, Ying Ying knew of Shang Yiqing's dissatisfaction. Even she was not convinced by her big brother's decision. However, her eldest brother was not even sparing his life to protect her. This meant that in her eldest brother's heart, she was extremely important to him, even more so than her little sister. Thus, Ying Ying was also very angry. However, when she saw that her big brother was still on the brink of death and was still thinking about Nan Yulan, she slowly began to understand. Wasn't her relationship with Fang Zinan the same as well? Even though she knew it was impossible and hopeless, she still wasn't willing to give up. Perhaps this was what it meant to be in love. After understanding this, she felt some sympathy for her brother. She felt even more pity for him because she knew that he would be merciful! After being discovered by Shang Yiqing, she tried her best to protect him and not let him hurt her.
Shang Yiqing felt that the anger in her heart had nowhere to vent, and Ying Ying's resistance made it impossible for her to make a move. She could not release her anger, and it made her very angry.
Ying Ying saw that Shang Yiqing didn't say a word and tried again to persuade her. "Princess Consort Rong, you don't want your big brother to hate you, do you? If you really did capture Nan Yu Lan, my brother would hate you, and he had helped you before, so let's just forget about it this time, okay? "
Shang Yiqing took in a deep breath and tried her best to calm herself down. She nodded at Yingying, "Fine, I'll let her off for now after what you said today, but don't let me see her again. I still have things to take care of. Yingying, take care of yourself." With that, Shang Yiqing left the Xiao residence with a belly full of anger. She didn't even look back.
