As expected, the assassins who tried to kill Fu Yunzhen did not mention Second Princess Jiang Shuhe.
They all knew that if they said it, they would die. If they didn't say it, they would die.
If they didn't say it, at most they would die. If they said it, with Second Princess's ruthlessness, perhaps their entire family would be buried with her.
Because they were unable to find out the mastermind, the Emperor once again felt that he owed Fu Yunzhen. Another large wave of rewards flowed into the General's residence.
However, the more the Emperor expressed his appreciation for Fu Yunzhen, the more flustered Second Princess Jiang Shuhe became.
The Emperor liked Fu Yunzhen so much, he would definitely not agree to her breaking off the engagement.
If she stubbornly refused, perhaps the engagement would be canceled in the end. But if that happened, Imperial Father would definitely dislike her. Even the Zhu Guo Manor would not be willing to marry a princess who was not liked by the Emperor.
Princess Shuhe was unwilling to marry someone she did not like, but she could not give up her honor. After thinking about it, she could only go find Fu Yunzhen.
When Gu Shengyin heard that the Princess had arrived, he was shocked.
Logically speaking, as fiancees, it was not appropriate for the two to meet. But since the Princess did not care, as an official, he naturally had to go and welcome her personally.
"Your humble servant, Fu Yunzhen, greets Your Highness."
Princess Shuhe did not ask him to rise. Instead, she looked Fu Yunzhen up and down.
Her heart was tied to her cousin, Fang Mingyu, and she had never looked at her fiancé in the eye.
Now that she finally looked at him carefully, she actually felt a sense of shock.
Gu Shengyin did not need to go to the battlefield, so she naturally did not need to wear that armor.
Today, she wore a snow-white robe embroidered with silver patterns, and a light green gauze overcoat. Her long hair was tied up with a white jade crown. Her lips were red, her teeth were white, and her face was like jade.
In all fairness, in terms of appearance, Gu Shengyin's appearance was not inferior to the handsome young master of the Zhu Guo Duke Manor.
"General Fu, please rise." Princess Shuhe's face was red, and even her voice was much gentler.
Gu Shengyin stood up as instructed. She lowered her eyes and stood at the side, waiting for Princess Shuhe to speak.
"I came here today to tell you that I already have someone in my heart. If you know your place, you should go and tell my father to cancel our marriage," Princess Shu He said as if it was a matter of fact.
Gu Shengyin sneered in her heart. She thought the princess would say something. It was actually this?
For Fu Yunzhen to die in the hands of such a woman was indeed an injustice.
She had a look of disbelief on her face. After a long while, she said to Princess Shu He, "Your Highness, our marriage was personally bestowed by His Majesty. Disobeying the imperial edict is a great crime. This humble subject does not dare to offend His Majesty."
She looked at Princess Shu He who raised an eyebrow and was about to explode. Without waiting for her to speak, she continued, "Of course, Your Highness the Princess is of noble birth and deeply favored by the Emperor. If you are not willing to marry this subject, the Holy One will not force you."
She wanted to get rid of the marriage but didn't want to be a bad person. How could there be such a good thing in the world? Did she really think everyone else was an idiot?
She didn't even deal with her for the assassination, and Princess Shu He still had the face to come!
Princess Shu He didn't think that a general like Fu Yunzhen would have so many tricks up his sleeve. He didn't fall for her provocation at all and pushed the matter back with just a few words.
She purposely said those words to anger Fu Yunzhen. If he couldn't bear her humiliation and did something impulsive, she would have a way to put the blame on him.
