Chapter 425: Plea

"Give the King of Qin face?"

"I think you're overthinking it. If she really wanted to give me face, why didn't Princess Zhaode go to the banquet at the Prince Qin's Mansion?"

"Also, I heard that the King of Qin has been coming to apologize these days, but Princess Zhaode didn't even give him a chance. I think it's unlikely that she will give the King of Qin face."

After this was said, many people felt that what this person said made sense.

If we really gave you face, things wouldn't have come to this.

After some discussion, everyone's attention shifted to why Gao Changting was so bold and presumptuous.

Now many people pointed their fingers at Marquis Xuanwu. Ever since the current emperor ascended the throne, Marquis Xuanwu and his family have been stationed in Xihu Pass. Many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and it is possible that his personality has changed after being the top leader in Xihu Pass for so many years.

Perhaps the Marquis Xuanwu already had rebellious intentions, otherwise why would Gao Changting disregard the royal family as soon as she arrived in the capital?

If we just say it was Princess Zhaode, then it means that the other party was unaware of Princess Zhaode's reputation and was often disrespectful.

Everyone still remembers that when they were at the city gate, Princess Ningyang was also present, and she was the first to come out and identify herself. Gao Changting did not get off the carriage immediately, and was finally persuaded by Princess Ningyang's words before she got off the carriage and saluted.

This is extremely unreasonable. In this society where imperial power is supreme, a daughter of a marquis should have been exposed to more of these rules since childhood.

What was the result? How did Gao Changting do it?

Could it be that there was some teaching or example from the past of Marquis Xuanwu involved? Otherwise, how could a little girl have the courage to do this?
Besides, Gao Changting brought fifty or sixty people and weapons to the Hot Spring Villa to cause trouble for Princess Zhaode.

This shows that she doesn't take Princess Zhaode seriously at all. Who gave her such confidence?

For a time, many people began to doubt the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion. Some of Gao Changting's actions did seem a bit unreasonable.

Soon, King Qin arrived at the entrance of the hot spring villa and saw two groups of people confronting each other from afar. When he got closer and got off the car, he immediately found Gao Changting kneeling there. Hongxiu had already pressed down Gao Changting's hands to prevent her from getting up.

The King of Qin hurried over.

"what happened?"

As soon as she saw the King of Qin coming, Gao Changting seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and hurriedly said, "Brother King of Qin, you are finally here. Quickly have someone arrest this slave and beat her to death. She is committing treason."

Hearing this, Hongxiu sneered coldly and saluted to the King of Qin, saying, "This servant greets His Highness the King of Qin."

She saluted very quickly. The moment she withdrew her hand, Gao Changting was about to stand up, but halfway through, she was suppressed by Hongxiu again.

"Miss Gao, I have a piece of advice for you. If Princess Zhaode asks you to kneel, you'd better kneel obediently, or you won't have the chance to kneel when the time comes."

These words were full of threats.

The Prince of Qin's pupils shrank immediately. The fact that Princess Zhaode could speak like this meant that Gao Changting had really made Huo Junyao angry this time.

For a moment, the King of Qin didn't know how to plead for mercy.

"Miss Hongxiu, I would like to meet Princess Zhaode. Is that possible?"

Hearing this, Hongxiu did not answer, but turned and gave the guard a look. The guard nodded and trotted towards the hot spring villa.

"Your Highness the Prince of Qin, please wait a moment." Soon, the guard came back.

"I have met His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. The princess said that this has nothing to do with you. Gao Changting has repeatedly provoked her, and she is just giving you a small punishment."

"Moreover, Gao Changting also said that the Marquis of Xuanwu would not let my princess go. The princess wanted to see if the Marquis of Xuanwu would really bring 300,000 troops from Xihu Pass to the capital to ask her for an explanation."

At this point, King Qin realized that his face was of no use, and he also knew that Huo Junyao was determined to deal with Gao Changting.

On the way here, he had already heard what had just happened from the person who reported the news, and naturally he also knew the harsh words that Gao Changting had said.

At this moment, he just thought in his heart that he really had no idea what the Marquis Xuanwu was thinking and why he would send such a person to the capital.

He has no brains at all. Is he afraid that his position in Xuanwu Marquis Mansion is not embarrassing?

Of course, the most important thing is that Marquis Xuanwu arranged such a brainless person to come here. Did he think that the Qin Palace was having too easy a time in the capital and wanted to make things more difficult for him?
Otherwise, why would Gao Changting's arrival ruin the friendship he had worked so hard to establish with Princess Zhaode a few years ago?

Now something like this has happened, leaving the King of Qin caught in the middle and unable to move forward or backward.

He had a tough attitude. To be honest, he was not in the right, and he did not have the confidence to think that he had the ability to suppress Princess Zhaode.

But if they retreated like this, if Marquis Xuanwu knew about it, he was worried that the relationship between the two families that had lasted for many years might be strained.

His choice in his heart has always been to stay close to the Mansion of Marquis Xuanwu. Firstly, it was because of the friendship they had established over the years, and secondly, the ties between Marquis Xuanwu and the Palace of Prince Qin were very close, and he couldn't just give them up if he wanted to.

"My princess, you are joking. Please tell me something. Gao Changting is not polite and does not know the difference between high and low. I will punish her severely. I have already sent a letter to Xihu Pass, but the capital is quite far from Xihu Pass, so it will take a lot of time to go back and forth."

"It's really not good to let her kneel here all the time. Princess Zhaode, please give me some face."

Upon hearing this, the guard immediately responded and went to help pass on the message.

Not long after, he came back again, saluted the King of Qin and said, "The princess said that she would give His Highness the King of Qin a favor this time. She hopes that His Highness the King of Qin can severely punish Gao Changting and there will be no next time."

Hearing this, the King of Qin felt relieved but also a little bitter. He knew that this time all the friendship they had in the past had been used up.

Fortunately, Gao Changting was saved.

On this side, after hearing the guard's words, Hongxiu also let go of the hand that was suppressing Gao Changting.

Without the pressure on her shoulders, Gao Changting stood up quickly. Just as she was about to say something harsh, King Qin coldly rebuked her.

"If you don't want to keep kneeling, shut up."

He is now really fed up with Gao Changting. She is incapable of doing anything good and always causes trouble. She has no brains at all.

He has only been in the capital for a few days, but so many things have happened, especially what happened today. I am afraid that there are already many rumors in the capital, which may even affect Marquis Xuanwu.

The relationship between his Qin Palace and Marquis Xuanwu is very close. If this matter is not handled properly, I am afraid that even his Qin Palace will be suspected.

It can be said that Gao Changting has blocked the road to the Prince Qin's Mansion twice with provocations. It will be difficult to maintain peace in the future.

When she heard that she had to kneel again, and saw the cold and terrifying look in King Qin's eyes, Gao Changting, who was arrogant, did not dare to say anything at this moment. She lowered her head and walked behind King Qin.

"Thank you, Princess Zhaode, for your generosity this time. I will take my leave now."
