Chapter 523: F*ck me! That works?!
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Fang Zhengzhi had no intention of answering the questions in everyone's mind. He felt a sense of dejavu when he saw the anger on Shan Yu's face. It reminded him of the time he accidentally slapped her.
After more than a year...
Was her go to threat still death?
”If you think that there is an issue, you can retake your seat.” Fang Zhengzhi pointed at the carriage behind her.
”What?”
”How dare he talk to the Queen of the Southern Region like that?”
”Does he think that the Queen of the Southern Region is still the same princess he violated over a year ago?”
The eyes of the crowd were about to pop out of their sockets. The person on the White Jade Stone Elephant was the Queen of the Southern Region!
”How dare he?! This is ridiculous!” The officials were all enraged when they heard this.
They felt that none of the Southern Region soldiers would be able to tolerate such rudeness.
However, none of the soldiers raised their spears.
They continued to stand in their positions silently, almost as if they didn't hear what Fang Zhengzhi had said.
The expression of Crown Prince Lin Tianrong changed at that moment. He didn't want this conversation to continue. He knew the relationship between Shan Yu and Fang Zhengzhi.
If not for Fang Zhengzhi rejecting her...
Actually, if not for the fact that Fang Zhengzhi had claimed that he did not have very long to live, he would have already been Shan Yu's husband by now.
”Father, this is a disgrace to the Great Xia! He is ruining our reputation!” Crown Prince Lin Tianrong pleaded.
The officials prepared to fall to their knees once again.
At that moment...
Emperor Lin Mubai waved them off and rubbed his temples with his hands. He seemed rather tired.
”The Emperor is tired, bring him a chair for him to rest.” Eunuch Wei told the servants standing beside him.
The servants disappeared to get the chair.
Before long, a throne was carried over and placed behind Emperor Lin Mubai. Then, two servants placed a soft cushion on the throne.
Emperor Lin Mubai took a step back and sat down. He closed his eyes and rested.
The officials looked at each other in confusion when they saw this. They decided to keep their mouths shut.
There was a light breeze.
It caressed the face of Crown Prince Lin Tianrong.
He was rather pale, embarrassed, and helpless.
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong wanted to step forward as he watched the Emperor. However, he could not say anything until the Emperor did so.
All he could do was wait.
King Duan smirked when he saw this. At that moment, he saw the look that Chi Hou was giving him.
”This time?” King Duan shook his head slightly when he saw Emperor Lin Mubai resting.
Ping Yang straightened her back when she saw Emperor Lin Mubai sit down. She felt a wave of confidence.
She looked at Bai Qi, the deputy commander of the Royal Guards, with crystal clear eyes.
”What are you waiting for? Stand down!”
Bai Qi shuddered when he heard this. He instinctively looked back at the figure on the walls of the palace. That figure nodded.
”Yes, ma'am!” Bai Qi replied and stood down.
The crowd was confused to see this change of events. Why did the Royal Guard stand down after Fang Zhengzhi had been that rude to the Queen of the Southern Region?
The courts...
Politics was complicated.
Since Emperor Lin Mubai was taking a break, the attention of the crowd turned back to Shan Yu.
No one bothered with the actions of the officials and the royal family.
Shan Yu didn't reply to Fang Zhengzhi. It felt as though she had been muted by Fang Zhengzhi's words.
Five minutes passed...
15 minutes...
Princess Shan Yu bit her lip, her black eyes glittering in the sun. She seemed to have made her decision.
”How confident are you?!”
”Before you came, 30%.” Fang Zhengzhi replied calmly.
”And now?”
”Still 30%.”
”Rubbish...” Princess Shan Yu clenched her fists as her chest heaved. She was about to berate Fang Zhengzhi when she realized something.
She had not been this agitated over the past year.
As the leader of the Southern Region, she had to remain calm and composed even under the most stressful of circumstances.
However, for some reason...
She couldn't keep calm when she saw Fang Zhengzhi. She nearly lost her temper twice in such a short period of time.
She was slightly taken aback by this.
This was not a good thing, but Shan Yu felt quite good about this. She enjoyed bickering with Fang Zhengzhi. She felt like that was a channel for her to vent her frustrations.
What was happening?
Princess Shan Yu didn't quite understand it, but she felt like there was something about Fang Zhengzhi's words that she hadn't quite figured out.
30% before she came!
And now...
It was still 30%?
”I see!” Princess Shan Yu's eyes brightened. She finally understood what Fang Zhengzhi was thinking and what she had to do.
This was not the first time Fang Zhengzhi had told her about his confidence level in a plan.
She remembered her time in the Southern Region with Fang Zhengzhi. Back then, when she asked Fang Zhengzhi how confident he was about a certain battle, his answer would always be...
100%!
As such, she knew for a fact that Fang Zhengzhi would never do something in which he only had a 30% confidence level. That meant that this 30% was not firm.
In other words...
The other 70% was not up to him.
She stared at Fang Zhengzhi.
