Shangguan Xuan nodded cheerfully, "Indeed."
Zhao Yang looked as if she had seen something utterly filthy and said disdainfully, "Yun'er, take this ill-omened letter out and burn it immediately! Scatter the ashes far away—it's too unlucky!"
Yun'er promptly went to the outhouse to burn the letter.
Shangguan Xuan was stunned and reminded her again, "Your Highness, this is a letter from Lord Yan Yunting!"
Zhao Yang shot him a glare. "Had I known you brought a letter from that scoundrel Yan Yunting, I wouldn't have let you step foot into the princess's residence! Disgusting!"
Shangguan Xuan: "..."
Shangguan Xuan was utterly baffled. He distinctly remembered Yan Yunting's claims back in Liangzhou City—"The princess admires me." Yet now, Zhao Yang's face showed not a trace of admiration, only disdain.
Having provoked the princess, Shangguan Xuan had no choice but to take his leave swiftly with Zhao Qing.
