Two imperial guards instinctively stepped back.
"Third Sister, long time no see, I hope you are well," said the Crown Prince with a stern face as he approached from behind. He was followed by more than a dozen imperial guards, an imposing entourage, unlike Shangguan Yun who had come alone.
Yet, even with such a display, there wasn’t the slightest trace of fear in Shangguan Yun’s eyes, "Father Emperor is not here, so spare me the brother-sister affection."
The Crown Prince gave a mocking smile, "Third Sister, so you admit it? Your amnesia is feigned."
Shangguan Yun spoke confidently, "If you have evidence, go tell it to our lord father."
The Crown Prince said with a smile, "After all, you and I were close siblings. How could I do such an unkind thing? In fact, if Third Sister wishes to return to Shengdu, there’s no need for complications. Just tell me, and I will personally bring you back."
Shangguan Yun sighed, "Ah, you still favor eating sweet potatoes so much."
The Crown Prince’s brow furrowed.
Not realizing the meaning behind her words at first, he then saw the imperial guard beside him trying not to laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" the Crown Prince asked with a frown.
The imperial guard whispered, "Your Highness, eating too many sweet potatoes causes one to pass gas. She is implying that you like to fart indiscriminately."
The Crown Prince: "...!!"
"So many years have passed, and Third Sister really hasn’t changed a bit!"
Still so infuriating!
Shangguan Yun spread her hands, "It’s a pity but you have changed, aged quite a bit. Those who know say you are my younger brother, those who don’t think you are my uncle."
The Crown Prince was fuming!
Indeed, these years of managing state affairs had aged him significantly, unlike Shangguan Yun who had lived carefree in the Imperial Mausoleum like a salty fish, looking the same as she did a decade ago!
The Crown Prince clenched his fists tightly, "Third Sister, there’s no need to beat around the bush. I have come to capture an assassin today. If you continue to hinder me, could it be that you’re harboring the assailant?"
Yes, if Long Aotian had nothing to do with the Princess, why seek refuge in the National Master Hall at a critical moment?
So it was you, Shangguan Yun!
Shangguan Yun’s gaze flickered as she feigned confidence, "Do you have evidence? If not, don’t make baseless accusations here!"
