Princess Nanyi was arrested by the city patrol?

Shen Wan's lips twitched at first, and then she couldn't help but laugh.

She remembered that in her previous life, Princess Nanyi came to the Great Chu. It was the day after the Emperor's birthday banquet. She was dressed in a palace dress and swaggered down the street. Because of her beauty and noble attire, she attracted many men to stop and watch.

Princess Nanyi was spoiled and arrogant, no less so than Princess Shouchun. Everyone was amazed by her beauty, which made her very proud. However, she was ruthless towards those who were ugly or who dared to block her way.

The maid carried a whip with her, and Princess Nanyi took the whip and lashed it at the man blocking her way.

A whip lashed someone's face, nearly blinding them.

In the previous life, when the city patrol arrived, Princess Nanyi whipped the man more than a dozen times, leaving him covered in welts. However, the city patrol dared not arrest Princess Nanyi and simply rescued him.

In this life, the City Patrol Division is under the jurisdiction of Prince Yanping and Tang Ze. They have arrested all the princesses of the Great Chu. The princess of Xiliang is beating the people of the Great Chu to death on the territory of the Great Chu. How could the City Patrol Division not arrest them?

Not only did they arrest them, they also beat up the Xiliang guards.

When the Crown Prince of Yanping wanted to arrest Princess Nanyi, the guards of Xiliang stepped forward, detained the patrol officers, and pressured the Crown Prince of Yanping and his men by threatening them with the peace between the two countries.

Did the Prince of Yanping and his ilk back down after just a few threats?

They've always been the type to respond better to gentle persuasion than force.

When it comes to getting serious, they are completely unmoved by either soft or hard tactics.

If the Princess of Xiliang doesn't care about the peace between the two countries and beats the people of Da Chu to death in the street, then they have to care about peace and turn a blind eye to the Princess of Xiliang's behavior?

It is said that when in Rome, do as the Romans do, and when guests follow the host's lead. But here in Xiliang, the principles that the Great Chu has always followed must be accommodated by the princess of Xiliang.

The Prince of Yanping, riding on horseback, said, "Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Inviting you to the city patrol office is already giving you face. Don't make us escort you there."

Princess Nanyi gripped the whip tightly in her hand, unable to resist lashing out at Prince Yanping's heir.

An old woman standing nearby said, "Don't struggle. These officers from the city patrol have even arrested their own fathers. Our princesses and princes of Great Chu have been imprisoned in the city patrol's jail, and the emperor not only didn't punish them but also rewarded the city patrol."

"They really will arrest you and take you to the city patrol office; I'm not just bluffing."

Princess Nanyi was stunned once again, following the palace banquet.

She was already surprised that the prince of Great Chu ignored the emperor's words, but now she was being told that the Great Chu City Patrol Division dared to arrest the prince and princess and bring them into the city patrol division.

Is the status of the princes of the Great Chu so inconsistent?

Suddenly, it became unclear who held a higher position in the Great Chu.

Princess Nanyi was stunned, and the guards of Xiliang were also incredulous. However, they all knew that ordinary people would not dare to spread rumors about princes and princesses, especially in front of the city patrol officers.

Do you still dare to resist?

The Xiliang guards, already bruised and battered, dared not do it again.

The princesses of the Great Chu Kingdom were also captured, so it's not shameful for their princess of the Western Liang Kingdom to be captured.

Princess Nanyi raised her head and said, "Since your Great Chu princess has also been to the City Patrol Division, I will follow local customs and broaden my horizons today!"

This princess of Great Chu must be a bit dim-witted...

Originally, Prince Yanping and Tang Ze only wanted to arrest Princess Nanyi and put her in the city patrol office, and wait for the Crown Prince of Xiliang to come and bail her out.

Princess Nanyi said that if we don't arrange a prison cell for her, then our trip to the city patrol office will have been for nothing.

Alright, for the sake of her being a princess, I'll reluctantly arrange for her to have a cell that will broaden her horizons.

Shou Kang Palace.

The Empress Dowager had just summoned Zhao Yuanzheng when Prince Cheng came to pay his respects to her.

As they were talking, a palace maid came in and said, "Empress Dowager, Chief Physician Zhao has arrived."

King Cheng then asked, "Is the Empress Dowager unwell?"

When the Empress Dowager summoned Chief Physician Zhao, not only did Prince Cheng think that the Empress Dowager was unwell, but Chief Physician Zhao also thought so. He assumed that the Empress Dowager was ill and quickly brought his medicine box.

Upon entering the main hall, they saw that the Empress Dowager looked perfectly normal and did not seem to be unwell. They heard her say, "I am not feeling unwell. I only summoned Chief Physician Zhao to ask him a few questions."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand, and all the palace servants who were serving in the hall withdrew, leaving only Granny Zhao behind.

Zhao Yuanzheng's heart pounded, wondering what the Empress Dowager wanted to ask him. He asked, "I wonder what question the Empress Dowager has summoned me for?"

The Empress Dowager asked, "How has His Majesty's health been lately?"

It's normal for the Empress Dowager to care about the Emperor's health, but what's not normal is why she dismissed all the palace servants.

Zhao Yuanzheng replied attentively, "Your Majesty, rest assured, His Majesty is in good health."

The Empress Dowager asked, "Is His Majesty truly in good health?"

This question made King Cheng glance at him sideways.

Zhao, the Imperial Physician, looked bewildered and replied, "This concerns His Majesty's health, and I dare not deceive the Empress Dowager in the slightest."

After speaking, Dean Zhao paused for a moment.

The Empress Dowager said, "As expected, you are hiding something from me."

Zhao, the Imperial Physician, shook his head repeatedly, "Your Majesty is indeed in good health, but Your Majesty seems to have this concern..."

The Empress Dowager frowned. "What is Your Majesty worried about?"

Zhao Yuanzheng said, "His Majesty dislikes taking pulses. Although I take His Majesty's pulse every day, His Majesty used to only allow me to take his pulse once every three days. But in the past two months, His Majesty has allowed me to take his pulse every day. Eunuch Yuan even privately instructed me to take his pulse more carefully, in case someone poisons His Majesty..."

When King Cheng was drinking tea, he paused for a moment upon hearing this, then picked up the teacup again.

It's normal for an emperor to be afraid of being poisoned; otherwise, he wouldn't have to test the food for poison before eating each meal.

But the Empress Dowager knows the Emperor well; he is not someone who will easily change his habits. This means... someone wants to harm the Emperor?
