Prince Hongjing froze, then completely erupted. His face flushed crimson as he roared, "Insolent! Do you have any idea what you're saying? You're insulting the dignity of the Royal Family! By law, this is punishable by the execution of your entire clan!"
Everyone stared at Shen Qing in utter astonishment. Their first reaction was the same—'This woman is insane!'
Did she have any idea what a member of the Imperial Family represented? Even if this particular royal was in a wretched state, he wasn't someone a mere woman like her could afford to provoke!
Liu Zhao's expression immediately darkened. "Miss Shen!" he warned.
As he spoke, he secretly shot Song Xingzhi a look.
She was Song Xingzhi's friend, so he naturally wanted to protect her.
But if she didn't know her place and insisted on provoking Prince Hongjing, there was nothing he could do.
A single woman wasn't worth him falling out with Prince Hongjing over.
