During the standoff between the two sides, Song Zhi considered the possibility of being humiliated by Gu Lan.
After all, leading the imperial guard to barge into the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion without evidence and searching for a non-existent Prince Xiang was an act of forcing a confession through torture. Dingyuan Marquis was still around, and if provoked...
But Song Zhi did not expect Gu Lan to actually ask him to apologize to a mere guard...
"What did you say?"
Song Zhi retorted, doubting his own ears.
Gu Lan calmly met his gaze, his eyes sharp:
"Did Commander Song not understand? I want you to apologize to Uncle Zeng."
"A servant?" Song Zhi instinctively questioned.
"And so what if he is a servant? Does being a servant mean he should be unjustly humiliated by the imperial guard? Are the imperial guards inherently superior?" Gu Lan coldly retorted.
