The Crown Princess's vision went black.

"This...this, you did all of this?"

Qi Su blinked, her expression completely innocent.

His tone was also somewhat uncertain.

"I think so?"

Crown Princess: "It should be?"

Qi Su pressed her temples.

"I don't remember much. I only remember that they used a lot of foul language, which was very offensive. I don't know what happened after that."

The Fifth Prince's wife called out from the side:

"I told you long ago that she's not thinking straight and that you shouldn't mess with her! Look, look, she's gone mad."

Qi Su: "Sister-in-law, someone actually said that was Princess Shou'an. How could the princess be so ill-mannered? It must be someone impersonating her."

Crown Princess: "..."

She knew that the Princess of Qishan was very skilled in footwork.

He played Cuju (ancient Chinese football) very well.

But I never expected that he would be so good at both hand skills and getting into trouble.

The Crown Princess invited Qi Su to the flower-viewing banquet with the intention of mediating a conflict.

Recently, some rumors about the Princess of Qishan have leaked out of the capital.

Yu Qishan Wang's face was not in a good light, nor was the royal family's face.

When the Princess of Qishan attended the banquet and made an appearance in public, everyone was very friendly. Gradually, the rumors dissipated on their own.

She meant well, but she never expected things to turn out this way.

Princess Shou'an was the apple of Consort Xian's eye.

The seventh prince also doted on this younger sister.

Attending a flower show and getting beaten up is not something that will be easily resolved.

There is also the third princess.

Like her mother and brother, she was a troublemaker even at a young age.

The seventh prince and the crown prince have never gotten along.

But the Crown Princess always meticulously organizes these flower gatherings herself.

Deliberately causing trouble at the Crown Princess's flower party is also embarrassing for the Crown Prince and his wife.

She deserved to be beaten up by Qi Su.

…

Sure enough, after the third princess was pulled out, she started cursing loudly.

He ordered his men to drag the Princess of Qishan out and behead her.

"Why doesn't your sister-in-law punish her? In front of everyone, are you deliberately showing favoritism?"

The Crown Princess spoke softly.

"She has a headache and can't handle any stimulation. She doesn't remember what she did."

The third princess was so angry she nearly fell over.

"Nonsense! She was perfectly sober when she hit people!"

The Crown Princess glanced at her.

"Her headache has flared up again, and she's in terrible pain. I've already sent someone to fetch the imperial physician. In fact, Princess Qishan's headache is also related to Prince Huai."

The Third Princess, of course, refused to give up.

She cried and made a scene, so Qi Su must be severely punished.

The Crown Princess was so annoyed by the noise that she ordered Qi Su to be taken away.

They then summoned the imperial physician to treat her.

The Crown Princess dared not release the person, nor did she dare allow Qi Su to be punished.

On one hand, they went to inform the Queen, and on the other hand, they tried their best to stabilize the situation.

Qi Su was politely invited to rest in the palace.

The people who appeared before her next were all very well-mannered.

Not long after, an old acquaintance from the Imperial Medical Academy arrived.

After taking Qi Su's pulse, he repeated the same old, repetitive words.

The princess's brain condition is not yet fully recovered; it's best for her to rest and avoid going out.

Upon hearing this, Consort Xian was so angry that she smashed the medicine bowl in the palace.

Who let that woman into the palace?

Just as he was about to rush over to support his daughter, a palace maid came to report.

Princess Qishan fainted.

The Crown Princess has already ordered someone to send her out of the palace.

Consort Xian was so angry that her eyes turned red.

"Who gave her the audacity to just leave like that?"

The palace maid whispered, "Your Majesty, this is His Majesty's will."

…

The emperor issued an order to confine the third princess to her quarters.

He also ordered the Princess of Qishan to stay at home and recuperate, and not to go out unless necessary.

A perfectly good flower-viewing party failed to quell public opinion.

Instead, it created new public opinion.

The Crown Princess held everyone back and gave them a thorough dressing-down, forbidding anyone from spreading the word.

King Huai was in the wrong regarding the dungeon incident.

The royal family hasn't even compensated Prince Qishan and his wife yet, and now Princess Shou'an is bullying them again.

The case of the dungeon in Prince Huai's mansion caused such a big stir.

The situation in the imperial court is still chaotic and unresolved.

King Huai showed no sign of restraint.

With the help of the Prince of Qishan, the Crown Prince has recently consolidated his power over many former court forces.

Even the students of the Imperial Academy, who have always considered themselves noble and looked down on the Crown Prince, have been praising him highly in recent days.

The crown prince needs to win over the people and do righteous things.

The Crown Princess naturally had to follow her husband's lead.

.

It was just past noon when we left the palace gates.

Qi Su boarded the carriage.

The vehicle swayed and rocked as it drove out of the palace, making people drowsy.

After traveling an unknown distance, the carriage suddenly came to a stop.

The maid in the carriage almost fell out, but luckily Qi Su pulled her back.

Then they heard the terrified voice of the coachman driving the carriage ahead.

"Your Highness, someone is blocking the way ahead."

Before he could finish speaking, a scream rang out, and he was grabbed and thrown more than ten feet away.

The horse-drawn carriage was parked in the street.

A man's large hand gripped the car door.

With his other hand, he lifted the carriage curtain.

The man, with a gloomy face, peered into Qi Su's carriage against the midday sun.

He was holding a dagger.

Upon seeing that it was indeed Qi Su inside, he smiled sinisterly.

"I heard that the Princess Consort of Qishan disciplined my sister today?"

Qi Su raised an eyebrow.

"You mean, that spoiled little girl who spews vulgarities is your sister?"

King Huai's eyes narrowed suddenly.

He thrust the dagger straight at Qi Su!

A cold glint pierced the dimness inside the sedan chair.

Qi Su turned her head to avoid it, and twisted her wrist.

With a muffled thud, the King of Qishan's dagger pierced through his own palm!

Fresh blood flowed down his palm.

King Huai's eyes were bloodshot.

He squeezed out a few words through his teeth.

"It seems you're not planning to leave here alive today."

Qi Su laughed.

Grab him by the collar and pull him in front of you.

You think you can act crazy? I'm a better actor than you.

"Your Highness seems to have learned nothing from your mistakes. What? Have you already forgotten about the hypnotic curse from last time?"

King Huai was furious: "So it was you, you vile woman, who did this?"

Qi Su laughed and said, "That's right. I've done a lot for you."

She started counting on her fingers.

"You've probably forgotten that I made you kneel at my feet and bark like a dog."

"The hypnotic poison has lost its effect, but the other medicines should still be effective."

"Have you been feeling like you have a nameless fire burning inside you lately, making you irritable and wanting to hit someone all the time?"

"And another thing. The other day, the whip you were lashed with was also from me. Your skin was torn and bleeding, didn't you feel any pain? And yet we can't find out who did it."

King Huai was so enraged that he roared and tried to overturn the carriage.

He did indeed overturn half of it.

On Zhuque Street, pedestrians turned their heads to watch.

The carriage was jet black with golden moonlight inlays, giving it an understated yet luxurious look.

The man who stopped the car was tall and burly, with a menacing look on his face.

Just by looking at the belt around his waist, which was inlaid with various gemstones, one could tell that this man was either rich or noble.

Who on earth would commit such a crime in the middle of Suzaku Street?

.

"stop--"

Several gusts of wind came from afar.

The arrow was aimed directly at King Huai's face, chest, abdomen, and the hand carrying the chariot.

King Huai had no choice but to retreat.

The plum blossom darts landed on the ground.

Then, several guards in gray robes came forward and silently guarded the carriage.

Huh? There are some good people here.

Qi Su poked her head out of the car and then pulled it back in.

King Huai stared at the troublemakers in front of him.

Sen Sen said, "Believe it or not, I'll skin you all alive?"

The guards looked at him without saying a word.

They didn't move them either.

Instead, a clear male voice came from a few steps away.
