Chapter 53: Deep Love for the Crown Prince's Consort

"Brother, how are you?" Song Heng was deeply moved and hurried to pull Chi Moyan.

Chi Moyan looked ready to die, "Don't worry about me, protect the book!"

"Thank you for your help, sir! Quick, carry this young man to the back." Seeing that someone was injured while protecting Wanjuan Study, Qiu Niang hurried to save him.

Chi Moyan was carried to the study camp with satisfaction.

There were not many people in the study room, and it was impossible to stop so many officials. The situation was precarious...

"Don't move! The Crown Prince's wife is here, who dares to act rashly?" Feicui shouted with full energy.

A luxurious carriage came galloping at the street entrance.

Jade stood in front of the frame, looking angry.

The carriage stopped in front of the study, the curtain was lifted, and a woman in white stepped down on a spring stool.

She was wearing a white gauze hat, so her face could not be seen.

As soon as the crowd heard the words "Crown Prince's Consort", they all pushed forward.

"I heard that the Crown Prince's Concubine is the most beautiful woman in the capital, and the Crown Prince of the Northern King is obsessed with her and wants to marry her! Come and see what she looks like!"

"I can't see...don't push, don't push..."

The atmosphere around became lively again.

"Crown Princess!" When Qiu Niang saw Jiang Rong, she felt like she had found her backbone, and she quickly stepped forward to clarify:

"Princess, please understand. The people in the study are all innocent civilians. There are definitely no fugitives. They insist on accusing us of harboring fugitives and want to burn down the study..."

"I know. Don't worry." Jiang Rong nodded gently and turned to look at Zhou Hongyang:

"You wanted to burn down the study simply because we made your crimes known to the world, and you were angry and wanted to take revenge. You relied on your father being the Minister of Justice to use public property for personal gain and framed the study... Song Heng, write this down and write it in the next issue."

"Yes!" Song Heng responded loudly and glared at Zhou Hongyang fiercely.

When Zhou Hongyang saw Jiang Rong, he was just like an enemy meeting and was extremely jealous. She hit the nail on the head and he said angrily, "You are talking nonsense! Your study is harboring a fugitive! Burn it down!"

"According to the Great Xia Law, arson against private houses is punishable by three years in prison. You, the head of the Ministry of Justice, didn't even remind your young master of this. Do you want to send him to exile?" Jiang Rong raised his eyebrows and looked at the head of the Ministry of Justice standing beside him.

The head of the Ministry of Justice's face suddenly froze.

Although the law stipulates this, the children of officials have always had privileges. They can burn anything they want, and no one dares to report it...

But if anyone dares to pursue it, it would really be... unreasonable.

Zhou Hongyang wanted to say something, but Shen Wenyuan stopped him and whispered:

"Mr. Zhou, arresting people and sealing up the place is justified. Don't burn down the study and create unnecessary trouble."

The law only provides for seizure and arrest, but does not say that someone’s home can be set on fire.

Zhou Hongyang was so angry that his teeth were itching. He had to hold back his anger and said viciously, "Your study is harboring a fugitive. It must be sealed off. Take everyone away and investigate thoroughly!"

"Has anyone seen a fugitive in our study? False accusation is a crime that can lead to counter-attack." Jiang Rong stared at Zhou Hongyang coldly.

Zhou Yanghong was about to say that he saw it with his own eyes, but he hesitated because he was frightened by the word "reverse sitting".

Shen Wenyuan thought this thing was really useless, and took a step forward and said with a very hypocritical smile:

"Princess, I am just suspecting you. I am not saying that you are definitely harboring someone. It cannot be considered a false accusation. If the truth is found out, I will definitely let you go back."

The words are very nice, but only God knows when the truth can be found out.

This set of methods is used by the powerful to suppress disobedient merchants.

Not fresh.

But everyone is using it, which shows that it is indeed useful.

Just one suspicion can seal up your shop. And it is legal and reasonable. You have no reason to seek justice...

When Jiang Rong saw Shen Wenyuan coming out, he picked up a water and fire stick that had fallen on the ground and hit Shen Wenyuan in the face without saying a word, in full view of everyone.

"Ah——" Shen Wenyuan screamed and fell to the ground due to the violent blow.

Jiang Rong waved his long stick with great force. In just a moment, he had hit Shen Wenyuan seventeen or eighteen times with lightning speed...

Everyone was stunned.

Zhou Hongyang finally reacted, "Quick! Stop her! Jiang Rong, what are you doing..."

The officers stepped forward and protected Shen Wenyuan.

Jiang Rong then threw away the fire and water stick, looked calmly at the stunned audience, and said:

"Everyone, you all saw it today. This man suddenly walked up to me and smiled at me. I was once engaged to him. In order to avoid rumors that I laughed with him and insult my reputation, I beat him up first to prove my innocence."

"You...you...evil woman!" Shen Wenyuan spat out a mouthful of blood and pointed at Jiang Rong and cursed.

Everyone: What she said makes so much sense that I can’t even refute it.

But you really didn't just find a random reason to beat him up, did you?

Zhou Hongyang also didn't expect that Jiang Rong would dare to beat someone in public. This showed that he didn't take him seriously at all. He shouted:

"Catch all these people! Take them away!"

"Who do you dare to take away?" A cold and magnetic male voice came.

Another luxurious carriage stopped at the door of the study.

A handsome young man in red clothes came over, surrounded by a group of servants.

"Husband!" Jiang Rong's eyebrows curved slightly, seeing his face full of joy. But the next moment, she was about to cry, tugged at his sleeve in grievance, and complained:

"Husband, they want to arrest me..."

"Jingzhe, deal with it!" Xie Lingxi ordered.

The accompanying black-clad secret guards immediately rushed over like wolves and tigers, beat up the officers violently, and captured Zhou Hongyang and the other two.

"What are you doing! We are acting in accordance with the law. Someone reported that Wanjuan Study was harboring a fugitive..." Zhou Hongyang panicked and felt his leg, which had just healed, aching again.

Xie Lingxi turned a deaf ear and kicked Zhou Hongyang hard on the leg:

"Talk to me about reason?"

Snap, snap—

The sound of bones cracking was heard.

"Tsk, are you kidding me?"

"Ah!" Zhou Hongyang let out a sharp scream, "My legs... my legs..."

Xie Lingxi glanced at the head of the Ministry of Justice, who immediately trembled with fear, "Prince, spare my life..."

"Listen to me, my prince. I don't care how big the case is, whether there is evidence or not, you can't arrest my prince's consort." Xie Lingxi said coldly.

"Go back to where you came from."

"Yes, yes, yes..." The head of the Ministry of Justice crawled out.

The crowd of onlookers were all shocked.

"A rage for a beauty! The Northern Prince is indeed as the rumors say. He loves his wife deeply and loves her as if she were his life."

"I originally thought the rumors were exaggerated, but I didn't expect the facts to be even worse than the rumors! The Northern Prince is protecting the Crown Princess, which is completely unreasonable and he doesn't care about the consequences!"

"So sweet! This is too sweet!!!"

Jiang Rong raised his eyes and looked at Xie Lingxi, his eyes shining and his eyebrows slightly curved.

Xie Lingxi always protects her like a peerless hero descending on colorful clouds.

How lucky I am to meet such a good man.

Jiang Rong's face, hidden under the veil, unconsciously flushed with shyness. In public, she gently grasped Xie Lingxi's sleeve, as if she was grasping the entire night sky of stars.
