Chapter 315 Punishment Again

The Second Prince was also panicked and quickly knelt down and said, "Father, Yan Feng was just arguing with himself. He definitely didn't mean that. He now knows he was wrong. I beg you to show mercy and give him a lighter sentence."

The Third Master Yan was so anxious that he almost cried: "Yes, Your Majesty! Please revoke your order! Miss Zhao, I spoke without thinking, but I absolutely did not mean that. It was all unintentional. I apologize to Miss Zhao, please forgive me!"

This wasn't enough, so he added, "After returning to Beijing, I will definitely prepare a generous gift and come to thank you again. I beg Miss Zhao to forgive me!"

Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng looked at each other, and Zhou Hansheng gave her a quick wink.

Zhao Liya was actually more willing to forgive the Third Prince Yan. She had never expected the Emperor to punish him so harshly, directly kicking him away from the Second Prince.

However, it would not be good if he was not with the Second Prince. Zhao Liya still hoped that he would be with the Second Prince.

It would be better if you could make more trouble.

Zhao Liya wiped her tears and choked up as she spoke, "Since Third Master Yan didn't mean it, that's fine. It's just a start. From now on, if everyone says it was just a casual remark, how can I find someone to tell them? Once a rumor starts, it won't be easy to dispel it!"

Zhao Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "Ya'er, what you said is exactly what I'm worried about. Third Master Yan, how dare you ask for forgiveness?"

The Second Prince said angrily, "If anyone dares to say that, just go ahead and hit them!"

Didn’t Zhou Hansheng say the same thing before?

Zhao Liya: "Thank you, Your Highness! With your words, I feel relieved!"

Second Prince: "Hmph!"

The emperor said angrily, "If anyone dares to spread rumors, just tell me and I will take care of it for you! Imperial Concubine, when Miss Zhao gets married, don't forget to put on some makeup."

Concubine Yan smiled and nodded, "Of course. Your Majesty, don't worry. When the time comes, I will definitely order the palace to prepare a generous gift for Miss Zhao to add to her makeup!"

The royal family's addition of makeup is a recognition of Zhao Liya. Anyone who dares to say something sarcastic or suspicious without any evidence will have to pay the price.

Zhao Liya and Zhao Xiang thanked him and the matter was dropped.

The emperor still disliked the third son of the Yan family, so he scolded him and ordered him to apologize in person after returning to the capital, but he still did not allow him to enter the palace.

But knowing that he had a good relationship with his cousin, the Second Prince, she didn't stop him from going to see the Second Prince.

Young Master Yan San did not dare to say any more words. He kowtowed to express his gratitude and climbed up in a miserable state.

Everyone looked at Zhou Hansheng and Zhao Liya, feeling a little nervous, fearing that the two would cause trouble again.

Especially Mr. Yan San and his wife, Madam Yang, etc. If another accident happens, I really don’t know what will happen.

Fortunately, no more!

Today, more than 20 teams entered the hunting ground for free hunting. After a statistics, it was unsurprising that Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng's team came out on top. In addition, they beat the Third Master Yan severely, and for a while they became the talk of the town.

Some people, feeling jealous, waited for the show to unfold: "Is it so easy to take advantage of the Yan family? Don't forget about Concubine Yan and the Second Prince! They're in the spotlight today, but who knows if they won't be the source of trouble tomorrow?"

The third son of the Yan family suffered a great loss and lost face, and the eldest son of the Yan family was dismissed from his official position. Can Zhou Hansheng and Zhao Liya still get what they want?

Over the years, has anyone who has offended the Yan family ever gotten anything good?

Bad luck is real!

Some people also understood: The Zhao family and the Duke of Liguo's mansion naturally supported the Crown Prince's faction, no wonder they were fighting the Yan family. The Yan family had underestimated their enemy this time, perhaps never expecting the Emperor to side with them for no reason at all? Therefore, they suffered a heavy loss!

However, the Zhao and Zhou families only caught the Yan family by surprise. It will not be easy to achieve such an effect in the future.

I’m afraid there will be unrest in the capital again!

The rest of the hunt went smoothly without any further incidents.

Everyone knows that the emperor is angry and his mood will definitely not be very good. If there is any more accident, wouldn't that be deliberately making things difficult for the emperor and not letting him live a peaceful life?

Those who had been making all kinds of sarcastic remarks and mocking Zhao Liya along the way now kept their tails between their legs and shrank their necks, fearing that Zhao Liya would come after them.

Even the Yan family can’t get away with it, let alone them?

The hunting activity finally ended in a lively manner with a rich harvest. There were also many up-and-coming athletes who were very eye-catching and achieved the most outstanding hunting results. Among them, of course, was Zhou Hansheng.

He is the most eye-catching focus.

The emperor was very pleased. He was naturally relieved that the Qin Dynasty had successors to its military power, and he gave generous rewards to encourage the young people.

Many court officials could see clearly that Zhou Hansheng was the prince's man. The prince's lineage was originally at a disadvantage in terms of military generals, but the appearance of Zhou Hansheng changed this situation. Could it be that the prince's fortunes were about to change?

After the hunt, the emperor led everyone back to the capital.

Zhou Hansheng was extremely popular for a while.

Zhao Xiang and his daughter Zhao Liya also attracted much attention.

Everyone finally understood how much the Emperor valued Lord Zhao.

After returning to Beijing, Deng, Widow Qu, Qu Yutao and others inevitably asked about their trip. Zhao Liya smiled and told the story, and Widow Qu listened with great interest. The whole family talked and laughed, and it was very lively.

The Yan family was in chaos.

Mr. Yan San originally tried to delay, but after a while, wouldn't it end in vain? Zhou Hansheng certainly wouldn't give him such an opportunity and sent people to remind him every day.

No matter how thick-skinned Mr. Yan was, he couldn't delay any longer. He wasn't a street thug. He had to save face.

As a last resort, he prepared generous gifts and went to the Zhao family to apologize. Then he really brought a brothel girl back to his house to be his concubine.

Countless people in the capital were secretly gloating over the other's misfortune.

The Yan family has been arrogant and complacent over the years, and they act superior whenever they go out. Not only are their opponents afraid and hate them, but even among the second prince's supporters, few of them truly regard them as their own family behind the scenes. They are just trying to get what they want and flatter them on the surface.

Naturally, these people didn't dare to do anything to the Yan family. Even if they were offended or wronged, they had to bear it themselves. How could they not be happy to see them suffer a setback?

Madam Yan the Third Young Master hated Zhao Liya so much that she wanted to kill her. It was strange to say, because it was her own husband who was dishonest first. It would be fine if she didn't hate her husband, but Zhou Hansheng also participated in this matter and even took the lead - after all, the hunt would not have been won without Zhou Hansheng. However, Madam Yan the Third Young Master seemed to have nothing to do with the two of them at all, and she hated Zhao Liya with all her heart.
