âIâm also very surprised. The police of Zstan have already contacted your embassy, but they havenât received any feedback yet. Iâm telling you now because I want you to go back and investigate what happened.â âGot it.â
Huangfu Xuanyeâs expression was grim as he thought of the terrible accident that almost caused him to lose Ying Bao forever. He thought it was just an accident, but he did not expect that someone was behind it.
Thinking of Shen Wanxinâs face, Huangfu Xuanyeâs face turned sullen. He immediately contacted Sheng Yi and told him to handle this matter.
Ying Bao and Huangfu Xuanye stayed in Zstan for two days. On the third day, she said goodbye to her family and officially followed Huangfu Xuanye to the Northern Kingdom.
After returning to the palace, Ying Bao met Shen Wanxin who was watering the plants in the back garden. When the two met face to face, Shen Wanxin greeted her. âYour Highness.â
âMiss Shen, Iâm really sorry for what happened last time. I wanted to apologize to you for meeting you today.â
Ying Bao felt that she was the one at fault. She thought that they might meet again in the palace, so it was better to apologize.
Shen Wanxin snorted. âYour Highness, I really donât understand. Youâre already a princess, high up in the air, with everything handed to you on a silver platter. Why do you have to come and ruin my happiness?â
âIâ¦â
Ying Bao could hear the dissatisfaction in her voice. She was still holding a grudge against her for snatching the marriage. âIf it wasnât for you, I wouldâve been the queen of the Northern Kingdom by now. I wouldâve been with His Majesty. It was you who ruined everything for me and made me unable to lift my head in front of everyone.â
Shen Wanxin put down the kettle and hatred shot out from her eyes. She walked towards Ying Bao step by step and said in a sinister tone, âWhy did you take away His Majesty? You two are not even compatible for each other, okay? Do you really think that the prince and princess always end up living happily together in the end? Thatâs all a fairy tale, a lie to a child!â
Ying Bao was forced to the edge of the pool by her. There was no way out for her. âI didnât snatch him at all. The one Uncle liked was me, and I liked him too. I didnât snatch away your happiness. And you know that Uncle only wanted an heir. If you can do it, I can do it too. Why canât he choose someone he likes and is willing to bear children for him?â
âWhat if you werenât present? Wouldnât I be His Majestyâs only candidate?â Shen Wanxin gave Ying Bao a hard push.
âAhâ¦â Ying Bao fell into the pool and screamed for help.
CO.
âItâs no use even if you shout. Very few people come to the back garden. This pool is very deep and the walls are smooth. Itâs completely impossible for you to come up.â
Shen Wanxin took advantage of the familiar terrain and environment. She had finally found an opportunity today. She might as well let Cherry Princess drown by accident. Wouldnât that remove her, the eyesore?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing Ying Bao struggling in the water, Shen Wanxin smiled coldly and turned to leave the garden. Before she left, she deliberately locked the back door.
Huangfu Xuanye came back from outside and did not see Ying Bao. He went around asking the servants but they all said they did not see her.
He happened to see Shen Wanxin coming from the garden. He asked her if she had seen Ying Bao. Shen Wanxin said, âYour Majesty, I didnât see her. Isnât Princess Cherry with Your Majesty?â
âThatâs weird. She said she was out for a walk. Why is she gone?â Huangfu Xuanye waved his hand, signaling her to leave first. Then he went to the garden to look for Ying Bao.
Huangfu Xuanye shuttled back and forth in the garden. It was Sheng Yi who rushed over to look for him. âYour Majesty, I know where Princess Cherry is! Come with me!â
