Hesitation

Shangguan Hong had never understood how things actually happened, but he insisted that he had no fault in it.

Zhang Ji made him do whatever he could to please Lady Meng, but he never did say that Shangguan Hong must throw himself at her, and he definitely did not harbor such thoughts as well. To him, Lady Meng was akin to the Lord himself, and his impression of them was only fear and pressure.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Shangguan Hong realized that he had some unique advantages indeed.

First of all, there was not a lot of men in the Inner Residence as most of them were either handymen or killers. Because of this, Shangguan Hong was above them all due to the fact that he carried the surname of Shangguan and shared the same blood as Supreme King.
