Ping Yang did not want to admit that she was at a disadvantage. However, as Fang Zhengzhi walked towards her, she had no choice but to admit that she had no chance of fighting back.
However, she was Ping Yang, the Emperor's most beloved princess. She was born with a sense of nobility and pride. As such, even under such circumstances, she did not lower her head.
She did not say anything stupid. For example, what are you going to do? Don't come any closer! I will call for help. When that time comes, I will make sure you die a horrible death...
A pair of eyes that were as clear as water suddenly became unusually calm at this moment.
Ping Yang looked at Fang Zhengzhi. She did not think that this country bumpkin would do anything to her in her residence.
If he really wanted to do it, why did she have to run?
Fang Zhengzhi was also looking at Ping Yang. His gaze swept across Ping Yang's clear eyes, then carefully scrutinized her facial features and every detail of her body. Finally, he was able to confirm that this young lady in front of him was the capricious lady in front of the inn that day.
He did not know what this capricious lady's motive was, nor did he know what she was up to just now at the entrance of the residence.
However, he now knew why Ping Yang was willing to pay so much money just to invite him to Tranquil Sun Manor for a banquet.
"There are soldiers outside who want to kill me. If you don't want them to rush in and see you like this, I think you know what to do?" After recognizing Ping Yang, Fang Zhengzhi calmed down.
Since there was already a feud between the two of them, then there was no need to spend any effort to explain the misunderstanding. Let's just talk about the conditions.
Ping Yang was slightly shocked by Fang Zhengzhi's sudden change in attitude. However, she was even more shocked when Fang Zhengzhi looked at her from head to toe, then from top to bottom.
Furthermore, he looked so serious. So meticulous.
Most importantly, after looking at her, Fang Zhengzhi was still able to talk about the conditions without blushing or palpitating?
So... Can a person really be this shameless?
Ping Yang sighed. However, just as Fang Zhengzhi said, she had to deal with the situation in front of her. As such, she glanced at the two stunned servants beside the bathtub.
They were the two personal maids that Ping Yang had carefully selected from the mansion.
Although. Because of the shock just now, they had lost their composure, but when Ping Yang's gaze landed on them, they quickly reacted.
"The princess has ordered that no one is allowed to enter!" A maid quickly passed down the order.
The other maid quickly took off her outer robe and draped it over Ping Yang's body.
…
Outside the courtyard, the soldiers who saw Fang Zhengzhi enter the attic had already marched to the door in an orderly fashion. They did not barge in directly.
Instead, he was waiting for orders from inside.
This kind of command can happen in many ways. For example, there is no sound. Or screams, or curses …
If any of these happened, they would not hesitate to break the door and capture the audacious Fang Zhengzhi.
But if it was the voice they heard now …
The answer was obvious.
He could only guard the door obediently.
This meant that their princess had been kidnapped by the crazy Fang Zhengzhi. Once they barged in, the princess's life would be in danger.
The officials and noble scholars outside the courtyard also heard the maid's voice coming from the pavilion.
All of their gazes were filled with shock and fear.
They did not know how Fang Zhengzhi offended Princess Ping Yang, but, if they were Fang Zhengzhi, they would definitely choose to surrender.
Because … Only by surrendering and begging Ping Yang to spare his life, would he have a chance of survival.
Furthermore, Fang Zhengzhi still had an ambiguous marriage contract. Would Chi Guyan save Fang Zhengzhi? They were not sure, but, there was a sliver of possibility that Ping Yang would let him live for two more years because of this marriage contract.
But Fang Zhengzhi's current actions …
It was equivalent to cutting off his last shred of hope.
King Duan's eyes glimmered. He gently raised the cup in front of him and discovered the tea inside. Casually pouring it away, then, without waiting for the people around to serve him, he poured himself a cup of wine.
Such a joyous occasion, how could he drink tea?
Han Changfeng did not reveal his thoughts like King Duan did. He only silently took a sip of the tea in his cup, his expression as if he was savoring the aftertaste.
…
Inside the pavilion, Fang Zhengzhi had already walked to Ping Yang's side. The distance between the two of them was less than a meter.
Ping Yang did not retreat, she allowed Fang Zhengzhi to approach her. Even though, she was only wearing a maid's outer robe, some parts of her body were still faintly discernible.
But, she did not have any intention of retreating.
"Then, we can discuss the conditions." Fang Zhengzhi spoke.
"Do you think you have the right to discuss conditions with me?" Ping Yang quietly looked at Fang Zhengzhi, her crystal clear eyes filled with a trace of arrogance.
"I think so." Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
"Even if you can leave Ping Yang Residence today, you will not be able to leave Yan Capital!" Ping Yang's tone was very calm.
"Mm, you are right. Then, what if I don't leave Ping Yang Residence?"
"Don't leave Ping Yang Residence? Then aren't you … "Ping Yang originally wanted to say that he was courting death, but, she suddenly felt that Fang Zhengzhi would not be so stupid.
"To be more specific, what if I don't leave this pavilion?"
"You …" Ping Yang's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something.
"If I can stay in this attic for a year or so, when the rice is cooked, the flower will bloom, and the fruit will be born …"
"Shameless!" Ping Yang finally lost her cool.
Even though she was the high and mighty Princess, even though she was the Emperor's most beloved Ping Yang, when she faced Fang Zhengzhi, she always felt that she had no way to exert her power.
"Then, can we discuss the conditions?" Fang Zhengzhi spoke again. This time, he asked the same question as before, but, the arrogance on Ping Yang's face had completely disappeared.
…
The pavilion became very quiet for a while.
The soldiers in the courtyard, as well as the officials and the nobles outside, waited anxiously. They all knew what was going on inside.
But, they did not think that Fang Zhengzhi had any chance of success.
Because, the person in the pavilion was Ping Yang, the famous little devil of Flame Capital City. Or rather, even if it was not Ping Yang, Fang Zhengzhi's highest chance of walking out of the pavilion alive.
Taking a step back, Ping Yang Residence, Flame Capital City, even the entire Great Xia Dynasty, where could Fang Zhengzhi run to?
Once he let go of Ping Yang, he would die on the spot.
Without a doubt.
In everyone's eyes, Fang Zhengzhi was already a dead man.
Time passed by, minutes and seconds. It had already been 15 minutes since Fang Zhengzhi entered the pavilion.
And just at this moment, a figure appeared not far away.
It was an exquisite and slender figure, dressed in a pink dress with snow-white petals printed on it. Her jet-black hair flowed down to her waist.
The figure seemed to be walking very slowly, but upon closer inspection, one could see that the figure seemed to be stepping on a faint green light.
That was not the wind of the Dao of All Creation …
It was a sword radiance!
A sword radiance was stepped on, the figure's speed was unimaginable.
In a flash, the figure had arrived at the banquet outside the courtyard.
The sword radiance disappeared, revealing a beautiful face that could topple nations. She was Chi Guyan, the most stunning person in the Great Xia Dynasty.
His eyes, which were as bright as the stars, looked at the officials and noblemen present, and then at the group of soldiers in the courtyard of the pavilion who had their bowstrings pulled taut.
Chi Guyan did not open her mouth to greet anyone, not even King Duan, Lin Xinjue.
This was a form of arrogance.
