Chi Guyan's appearance was not surprising. Everyone knew that Chi Guyan had already entered the capital and was living in Ping Yang Residence.
However, what was worth guessing was, which choice would Chi Guyan make between Ping Yang and Fang Zhengzhi?
This was a difficult question.
However, intelligent people who truly understood the situation knew that this was actually just a single choice question. On one side, it was her childhood playmate, who was also the Emperor's most beloved Princess Ping Yang. On the other side, it was just a village commoner with an impossible promise.
Perhaps, Chi Guyan did not need to rely on Ping Yang.
However …
Ping Yang's other identity was something that even the Double Dragon Roll Champion, Chi Guyan had to be wary of.
Because, that was what made Ping Yang truly terrifying.
An identity that allowed her to kill and pillage in the capital without anyone daring to stop her.
Then, Chi Guyan's purpose for appearing here was easy to guess.
King Duan, Han Zhangfeng, and even some of the officials were all intelligent people. As such, they were all thinking about how Chi Guyan would successfully save Ping Yang.
However, what Chi Guyan did next made them want to kneel down immediately.
Because …
Chi Guyan actually sat down.
Very quietly, very steadily, just like a guest attending a banquet. She sat down in front of everyone's expectant eyes.
Then, Chi Guyan's gaze turned to a servant beside her.
The servant paused for a moment, then quickly poured Chi Guyan a cup of high-quality hot tea.
Hence, Chi Guyan took a small sip. After moistening her lips, she put down the teacup. Her pair of bright eyes stared silently at the building opposite her.
Her expression was calm, her expression indifferent.
Those who understood the situation now could not figure out what Chi Guyan was thinking. If Chi Guyan did not want to save Ping Yang, she could have avoided arousing suspicion and not appeared.
Then, was it possible that she did not want Ping Yang to kill Fang Zhengzhi?
Although no one wanted to think of this possibility. But, there was always a possibility.
However …
As intelligent as Chi Guyan was, if she really wanted to save Fang Zhengzhi, she would not have appeared. She would have avoided the Ping Yang Residence soldiers. Then, she would have secretly lent a helping hand.
She should not have appeared in either of these two possibilities.
But, Chi Guyan appeared.
Moreover, he appeared at the most appropriate time. Then … Shouldn't she use the most suitable method to save Ping Yang?
What was the meaning of sitting here and watching the show?
No one could guess Chi Guyan's thoughts, including King Duan and Han Changfeng.
…
Just when no one could guess the purpose of Chi Guyan's appearance, a soft sound came from the door of the pavilion. Then, it slowly opened from the inside.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the door.
"We're finally out!"
Everyone had the same thought in their minds. They were all looking forward to the exciting scene that was about to happen. Would Fang Zhengzhi force Ping Yang out of the building? Or was Fang Zhengzhi shot to death the moment he stepped out of the door?
Everyone was looking forward to it.
A figure slowly walked out from the door. She was dressed in a bright red dress with a golden peony on it, exuding a noble aura. A pair of eyes as clear as water quietly looked at everyone.
Like a fairy.
Ping Yang walked out of the pavilion. Fang Zhengzhi wasn't by her side. She was accompanied by a servant.
She was still wearing the same clothes as before. However, it was now very clean and completely dry. It even gave off a faint floral scent.
All the sergeants loosened their taut bowstrings.
The officials and nobles outside the small courtyard stood up instinctively. They looked nervously at Ping Yang, who was standing at the door to the pavilion.
"Sister Yan!" Ping Yang quickly found Chi Guyan in the crowd.
Because … Chi Guyan's radiance was too dazzling. It was impossible to miss her just by looking at her.
"Ping Yang, are you being naughty again?" Chi Guyan lectured Ping Yang like a sister. Then, she stood up and slowly walked towards Ping Yang. There was no trace of nervousness or shock on her face.
It was as if she knew from the start that Ping Yang would walk out of the pavilion safely.
"No way … I just wanted to find someone to play with!" Ping Yang looked at Chi Guyan and gave an obedient expression. Then … His gaze swept across the soldiers in the courtyard.
"Stand down!"
"Roger!" All of the soldiers were stunned for a moment before they responded one after another. Then, they retreated like the tide. Just like how they had come, they came quickly and retreated even faster.
In an instant, the courtyard regained its calm.
Even the maids and servants who were kneeling on the ground retreated.
Only Ping Yang and Chi Guyan were left at the door.
This scene …
Everyone was so surprised that they were speechless.
Could it be that Ping Yang killed Fang Zhengzhi herself?!
Indeed …
Even if he was in the Heavenly Reflection State, he was still no match for the Star Conglomerate State Ping Yang!
Just as they were thinking about this, Ping Yang suddenly turned around. "Sister Yan is here, aren't you going to come out?"
Ping Yang's voice was not loud.
However, it was loud enough for everyone to hear clearly.
"Come out?! Who's coming out? The two maids? "
"But if it's the servants, that doesn't sound right?"
"Could it be …"
Just as everyone was guessing, a figure slowly walked out from the living quarters. His blue robe fluttered gently in the wind.
Then, he walked in between Ping Yang and Chi Guyan, a smile on his face.
"How is this possible?!"
"Why isn't he dead? How could he let Ping Yang out? Furthermore, how could he let Chi Guyan walk to Ping Yang's side so easily? "
No one could understand the logic behind this.
At this moment, Ping Yang spoke again.
"Sister Yan, you have to stand up for Ping Yang. A while ago, Fang Zhengzhi said that he would give me a Golden Jade Hairpin, but today, he said that he forgot to bring it. I argued with him, but he dared to run? Fortunately, this is my Ping Yang Manor. I ordered the soldiers to stop him. Otherwise, he would have gotten away! "Ping Yang said with an aggrieved expression.
When Chi Guyan heard this, she understood immediately. Then, he turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi.
"Where is the Golden Jade Hairpin that you promised Ping Yang?"
"Golden Jade Hairpin?" Fang Zhengzhi wanted to say, to hell with the Golden Jade Hairpin. I can't afford it even if I sold it.
His deal with Ping Yang was not about the Golden Jade Hairpin. However, he had to cooperate to protect her reputation. At this point in time, a girl's reputation was more important than the sky. He naturally had no objections. However, he did not expect Ping Yang to accuse him of something like this.
If he had agreed in front of everyone.
Wouldn't that be admitting that he owed her a Golden Jade Hairpin?
Forget it, I've already seen her naked. It's already a great blessing that she's still alive and kicking. As for the jasper golden hairpin, I'll agree to it first. I won't give it to her in the future.
After all, Ping Yang did not lack money.
"The blacksmith who made the Golden Jade Hairpin suddenly fell ill, so …" Fang Zhengzhi thought for a moment, his face filled with bitterness.
Chi Guyan looked at Fang Zhengzhi. Then, she looked at Ping Yang again and took the initiative to hold Ping Yang's hand. "Ping Yang, don't worry. I will definitely ask him to get you the best jade hairpin!"
"Thank you Sister Yan!" Ping Yang seemed extremely happy when she heard this. Then, she did not forget to roll her eyes at Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi looked at Ping Yang with disdain. He thought to himself, "This is what Chi Guyan said, it has nothing to do with me!"
…
The three of them seemed to be chatting happily. However, the people at the banquet had no idea what was going on.
However. Very quickly, all of the officials, King Duan and Han Changfeng, as well as the nobles, saw a scene that shocked them beyond belief.
Chi Guyan held Ping Yang's hand with one hand. The other hand gently held onto Fang Zhengzhi's. The three of them, shoulder to shoulder, passed through the courtyard and slowly walked towards the banquet.
If what Ping Yang said at the door was an act?
Then what about now?
There was no need to act anymore.
"Golden Jade Hairpin?!"
"What happened to holding the princess hostage? What happened to killing Fang Zhengzhi? "
Everyone looked at the smiling Fang Zhengzhi, Chi Guyan, and Ping Yang. They had no idea what was going on.
Furthermore, most importantly. Chi Guyan actually held onto Fang Zhengzhi's hand?!
"Chi Guyan, don't tell me …"
"How is this possible?!"
Even though everyone had heard that Chi Guyan had personally admitted her engagement with Fang Zhengzhi in the Divine Constabulary of the Northern Lands, this was the first time they saw Chi Guyan holding onto Fang Zhengzhi's arm.
The shock he felt was absolutely indescribable.
Hence, everyone looked at each other …
Could it be that Chi Guyan knew from the start that Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang were fooling around?
That was why she had been waiting to sit down.
This seemed to be a convincing reason. This also explained why Chi Guyan was not anxious at all when she appeared. Instead, she sat down.
However, this result was definitely not what everyone could have imagined.
Because …
Wasn't this change a little too fast?!
15 minutes ago, both parties were facing each other with swords drawn. 15 minutes later, they were as close as a family?
Did it have to be so exaggerated that it was hard to believe?
"Bam!" The sound of a wine glass falling to the ground could be heard.
King Duan looked at the scene of Chi Guyan holding onto Fang Zhengzhi's arm. He bit his lips and squinted his eyes. This time, his eyes were as cold as ice.
Han Changfeng's hand that was holding onto the teacup also trembled slightly. The boiling hot tea splashed onto his hand. However, he acted as if he did not see it.
In one gulp, he drank the rest of the tea.
At this moment, while everyone was still immersed in their shock, a piercing voice rang out in the Ping Yang Residence.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
