Prince Zhenguo was so enraged by Princess Zhenguo's words that he overturned the table. "Send her away? Do you take Hongxiu Country for the property of your Zhou Family? You conspired to murder the noble Elder Prince of Zhenguo, and now you think you can just send people away to settle the matter? Or perhaps your Zhou Family has grown so powerful that you no longer fear the Imperial Family? Would you like me to recommend to the Emperor that I abdicate and yield this position, handing the entire realm over to your Zhou Family?"
To kill a person is only to cut off their head, but Prince Zhenguo's words were enough to pierce the heart. If these words were to spread, the entire Zhou Family would be ruined. Shocked to the core, Princess Zhenguo collapsed onto her knees, unable to utter a single word. After a long while, she regained her wits, scuttling on hands and knees to the feet of Prince Zhenguo and grabbing the hem of his robe. "My Lord, you cannot say such things! The Zhou Family harbors no such ambitions, I swear! The Zhou Family is utterly loyal to the Imperial Family, fiercely and steadfastly loyal! My Lord... I beg you to see the truth!"
Prince Zhenguo lifted his leg and kicked Princess Zhenguo away. The look in his eyes as he gazed down at her was filled with undisguised murderous intent. "Someone come."
