Putting her palm back into her sleeve, Ning Shu smiled and said in a casual tone, "Perhaps we can put on a show."
Xiao Zhangping nodded vigorously, "Yes! As long as we can deceive father, it will be fine. When the deputy envoy of Southern Yan leaves Great Yue with the other princess, it will not be a problem for Your Highness to immediately clarify. At that time, what is done cannot be undone. Even if father knows the truth, he will at most punish me. Prince Xiahou, I beg you, please help me. If I really go to Southern Yan, I will die! Prince, do you really have the heart to watch me die? "
Xiao Zhangping's voice was full of trembling. For freedom, this little princess who had always been proud threw her high self-esteem in the palm of her hand into the dust. Ning Shu watched silently from the side and couldn't help but feel a little distressed for her.
Under Xiao Zhangping's expectant gaze, Xiahou Qing, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth and said, "I can immediately go to the palace and kowtow to His Majesty to keep the princess, but I'm sorry, I can't cooperate with the princess with this lie."
The light in Xiao Zhangping's eyes immediately dimmed. Her face became paler, and she was at a loss, "Why? Is Your Highness worried about my reputation? I don't care! Even if the Jiuzhou knows that I was abandoned by you after being engaged to you, I don't care. As long as I can escape this marriage, even if my reputation is ruined and I am pointed at by thousands of people, I won't mind! Not to mention that it is with you. "
"Not only because of this reason, but also because I already have someone in my heart. I can't let her suffer the slightest grievance. Even if it is just a play, as long as there is a trace of sadness or misunderstanding in her heart, I won't allow it. "
In the thick ink of the night, Xiahou Qing shook his head, lowered his picturesque eyebrows, and bent his back to Xiao Zhangping.
Hui Mo said in astonishment, "Prince!"
Ning Shu was also stunned.
Xiao Zhangping subconsciously took a step back. "You —"
Xiahou Qing waved his hand to order Huimo and the others to leave. He bent his thin back even deeper: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, if there is anything else that Xiahou Qing can do, I will not hesitate to go through water and tread on fire. But for this, please forgive Xiahou Qing for not being able to do it."
Ning Shu's eyes were slightly moist. She had never seen him like this since she met him. In the eyes of the world, the Crown Prince of Nanping was precocious and ambitious at a young age. When he was ten years old, he taught the Xiongnu a trick that lasted for ten years. For such a person, even death could not make him lower his head, but in order to take care of her feelings and not make her sad, he lowered his proud head.
Ning Shu couldn't help but feel sour at the tip of her nose. She didn't open her eyes. For a moment, she didn't know whether she was more moved or more distressed.
Xiao Zhangping's whole body trembled violently. Her eyes were filled with thick ink-like hatred. She took a few steps back and stretched out her hand. Every word was filled with endless hatred: "Good, good, good, I know. You two have deep feelings for each other and can move heaven and earth, but you want to see me fall into the fire pit? I, Xiao Zhangping, was blind to have misjudged you two! Are you sure that I won't reveal your secret? Anyway, running away from the marriage will lead to death. If I go to the Southern Yan Kingdom, I will die sooner or later. Then I will let you see me die in front of you! "
"Princess!" Under everyone's shocked gazes, Xiao Zhangping decisively pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and slit his own neck that was as fragile as a reed.
Xiahou Qing immediately ordered: "Hui Mo, She Yan!"
She Yan was as fast as lightning. He took out a small slingshot and used a stone as a bullet to hit the dagger. Xiao Zhangping reached out to pick it up but was kicked away by Hui Mo. Finally, it fell into Ning Shu's hands.
Xiao Zhangping pounced at Ning Shu again. Ning Shu reacted quickly and immediately threw the dagger far away from a courtyard wall.
Xiao Zhangping angrily asked: "You won't save me or let me die. What do you want me to do? Since Old Princess Yu passed away, I have been very miserable. Why do you even want to bully me? " She raised her hand and took out a silver hairpin from her cloud-like hair, "Ning Shu, you think that after throwing away my dagger, I have no other way? If I want to die, no one can stop me! "
