Just because he didn’t respond to her affection, she wanted to murder him? Fu Xiuyi was a little stunned. What surprised him even more was that he actually felt that the killing intent was filled with threat.

Could this be his delusion?

When he looked at Shen Miao again, she had already turned around and said something to Feng Anning.

A trace of killing intent flashed across Shen Miao’s eyes. After so long, even at the test venue, she only wanted to meet Fu Xiuyi from afar. She did not want to meet him so close because she was afraid that once she got close to him, she would not be able to hide her hatred!

Jiang Xiaoxuan’s provocation was answered by two chuckles from Shen Miao. The first chuckle was complicated, and the second chuckle was a sneer. However, even a fool could tell that she did not have any feelings for Fu Xiuyi! After chuckling twice, she simply started talking to the girl beside her. Her contempt and disregard made it difficult to tell if she was doing it on purpose or not.

However, the atmosphere still turned cold because of what she did.

A glint flashed across Prince Zhou’s eyes. He smiled and approached Fu Xiuyi. “Ninth Brother, it seems like you’re not that invincible.”

Fu Xiuyi smiled bitterly, but from that point on, he took Shen Miao seriously.

“Heh, looks like the fifth daughter of the Shen family is quite bold,” Su Mingfeng said with interest. Now his “serious illness” had improved a lot, but he still couldn’t work hard. Therefore, he still hadn’t been reinstated.

In his seat, Pei Lang lowered his head and took a sip of tea, deep in thought.

Just as they were silent, they heard a hearty laugh. “Haha, everyone, I’m late!”

The figure that was like a small mountain was none other than Shen Xin. Following closely behind Shen Xin was Shen Qiu. Seeing that this important figure was here, the bureaucrats greeted him one after another. Shen Xin bowed to Prince Zhou and the others before sitting down. He and Shen Qiu had missed the show just now. Otherwise, even if Shen Xin did not make a move, Shen Qiu would definitely teach Jiang Xiaoxuan a lesson.

After Shen Xin, the crown prince and Prince Li arrived one after another. The crown prince was weak, but the crown princess was elegant. Shen Miao glanced at the crown princess and was deep in thought.

The crown princess had the support of the prime minister’s family. Originally, the crown prince used the power of the crown princess’s family to stabilize his status. Later, when the crown princess was pregnant, Emperor Wen Hui was afraid that the crown prince would be seriously ill and the power would be in the hands of the prime minister, so he used means to make the crown princess have a miscarriage. The crown princess was deeply in love with the crown prince, but she did not know that the emperor would even kill her child. She was also afraid of telling her family and causing trouble for them, so she died of depression. Three years after the crown princess died, the prime minister’s family found out the truth and wanted to avenge their daughter. In the end, they sided with Fu Xiuyi…

Shen Miao looked at the cup in front of her. Everyone in the royal family was ruthless, and the men of the royal family were just a bunch of beasts. She and the crown princess were no different. They were both sacrifices of the power game.

Now, she wanted to be a chess player. Whoever wanted to play chess with her had to be prepared to die!

After the crown princess sat down, her friends from before she got married chatted with her. On the men’s side, Prince Yu also arrived.

When Prince Yu arrived, the people in the women’s section were silent, especially the girls. They were so frightened that their faces were pale.

In the past, Prince Yu would not attend any of the royal banquets. For so many years, he did not care about anything in the court. That was why Emperor Wen Hui, who was paranoid by nature, was especially tolerant of his brother. Of course, this was partly because Prince Yu had risked his life to protect him when Emperor Wen Hui was young. However, if not for the fact that Prince Yu had been quiet and did not interfere in the court matters for so many years, no matter how grateful he was to Prince Yu, he wouldn’t let him live. After all, Emperor Wen Hui’s brothers were all killed by him.
