Chapter 236 - What A Show
Princess Yue looked at Shangguan Die coldly. "First Miss Shangguan, now that I think about it, hadn't you known about my allergic for a long time already?"
Shangguan Die broke into a cold sweat. How could it be possible for her not to know? Princess Yue's maternal family was close to Shangguan Family, which allowed the two girls to meet with each other from time to time.
There was an incident in their past where Princess Yue's allergy flared up.
Thanks to that, Shangguan Die had always known that Princess Yue couldn't eat shrimp all these years.
"I'm not that low to the point that I'll use this kind of knowledge to harm you. What's the point of me doing it when I can do it many years ago?" Shangguan Die asked back, trying to stress on the point that she had no motive.
"First Miss Shangguan sure jest. This princess had known First Miss Shangguan, what would you not dare to do?" Princess Yue asked as she stepped forward.
The other guests were all trying their best to lower their presence. Seeing they were all trying hard to melt into the background was quite funny. Even though everyone was trying to act as natural as possible, their acting still revealed their flaws.
They were all only silent to watch the show.
Shangguan Die furrowed her eyebrows, her body trembled a bit. "Your Highness, I respected you from the bottom of my heart and would not go to the extent of harming your body like this. No matter how ignorant I was, I know that you're of Imperial Family and should never be harmed."
"One would not know what was inside your heart, am I right, First Miss Shangguan?" Princess Yue was looking at Shangguan Die with hatred. Her temper hadn't been good and with this, it was even harder for her to control her temper. She was thoroughly enraged when she saw Shangguan Die.
"How would one know what is inside your heart when you didn't even bother to show it outside?"
"I would not dare."
"Would you?" Princess Yue waved her hand. "I would like to have private conversation with First Miss Shangguan later. Please cooperate, First Miss Shangguan."
It was not the first time Shangguan Die had a private conversation with Princess Yue. However, it had never been under this kind of situation in the past.
"First Miss Shangguan, please pardon us."
"Let me go!" Shangguan Die yanked her hand, not letting the servant caught her. She walked towards Princess Yue, trying her best to salvage her situation by talking with the other party.
"Your Highness, are you sure that you want to do this?" Shangguan Die asked fiercely.
Princess Yue was smiling but her eyes were burning with hatred. "Do you really think that I wouldn't dare because of your family background? We shall see how things would end up this time!"
"It's not me."
"Does it matter?"
Shangguan Die's eyes burned with hatred too. "Would you like me to repeat your embarrassing history as to when you tried to…"
Princess Yue moved to the side and then pushed Shangguan Die forcefully. Beside them was a large vase used to hold the flower for the party's decoration. With that force, the vase instantly shattered.
Prang!
"KYaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Screams of fear rang as the nearby noble ladies were trying to get away from the vase. They looked at their dress in fear that it would torn. Some unfortunate ones were trying to hold back tears while the others heaved a sigh of relief.
Shangguan Die was on the ground, looking at the broken vase around her. She looked at her hand and dress that was torn in many places. Blood stained the ground and broken pieces.
The skin was only surface wound, but it looked horrible.
"My apologies." Princess Yue looked at Shangguan Die with a cold gaze. "Slander towards the Imperial Family worth death sentence, First Miss Shangguan. I hope you can remember it with your life."
"AAAaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Shangguan Die lost all of her reasons when she saw her beautiful skins were hurt by the broken pieces. She treasured her beauty very much, especially because there were a lot of people who were always jealous of her because of her natural beauty.
How could she accept getting herself hurt like this?
She stood up and rushed over to Princess Yue, spewing some curses. However, Princess Yue was calm as the servants had stuffed Shangguan Die's mouth with cloth and dragged her away. Originally, they planned to be polite with her. But now, they didn't think that it was necessary anymore.
They just want to bring her away from this place as fast as possible.
Empress Dowager Mei shook her head. "What a mess."
"Indeed it was." Empress Dowager Yan also nodded. She sighed. "There are a lot of people who are jealous of Princess Yue."
At this moment, she had already turned Shangguan Die into a jealous woman with just one sentence. Everyone would remember Shangguan Die as a jealous woman rather than unparalleled beauty.
Unparalleled beauty?
*cough*
After that incident, many of them were sure that Shangguan Die might not even be able to have clean skin anymore. Some of the pieces had scratched her faces and might even leave mark.
"But with this, Princess Yue's allergic has been made known." Empress Dowager Yan looked at Princess Yue. "Please be careful in the future, Yue'er."
"Yue'er will remember Imperial Mother's teaching." Princess Yue curtsied.
At this time, several servants from the male side had come to inquire the situation. The servants there could only tell the truth about what had happened with Princess Yue and Shangguan Die.
The matter might not even end here.
"Does First Miss Shangguan the only one who know about Princess Yue's allergy before this?"
The question stumped everyone. The voice was low and heavy, as if it was said by males but the male servants were all at a distance away.
Shangguan Mi was the most horrified.
The matter of the allergy was kept a secret in the Imperial Family and thus, if they really did thorough investigation, this matter might end in her suspicions.
