Sheng Jingyu almost burst out laughing. Luckily he came today, otherwise how would Su Wenyuan have handled the situation?

The atmosphere inside Wanchun Pavilion was still tense; everyone's expressions were surprisingly uniform, and their minds had completely stopped thinking.

They saw the legendary mad prince in Su Wenyuan.

They had only heard of Sheng Jingyu's madness but had never witnessed it firsthand, but today they saw Princess Chen go mad.

"Ah!!!" Yi Pingxiang screamed, her voice cracking.

It wasn't just the pain, but mostly the fear.

Su Wenyuan had a smile on her lips, but her eyes were full of murderous intent. Yi Pingxiang suddenly felt that she would not live to see today.

Consort Wan also realized what was happening and suddenly stood up angrily, shouting, "Su Wenyuan, what are you doing? Hitting someone in the palace! You've gone too far!"

As soon as Su Wenyuan raised her hand, many screams came from all around.

The young ladies were in a panic, getting up to hide, and even Consort Wan was frightened.

"Why aren't you stopping her?!" Consort Wan shouted, quickly calling to her guards.

The guards looked at each other, hesitant to step forward. After all, she was the princess; was it appropriate for them to take action?

Su Wenyuan ignored the guards and asked Yi Pingxiang again, "Why aren't you saying anything? What other rules are there? Tell me quickly, so I don't break them again and upset you."

They've already started hitting people, so what's the point of talking about rules?

Consort Wan was so anxious that she jumped up and down, urging, "Why aren't you doing it yet? Do you dare to disobey my orders?"

Without further hesitation, the guard stepped forward to grab Su Wenyuan. Just as he reached out his hand, Ye Shan's voice came over.

"stop!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ye Shan helping Sheng Jingyu out from behind the artificial hill.

Meng Qi dragged the half-dead Yi Wenming from behind.

"Father?" Yi Pingxiang looked at her father in disbelief.

Su Wenyuan straightened her clothes, completely ignoring Sheng Jingyu, still angry...

As Sheng Jingyu drew closer, Yi Pingxiang finally realized that the man Meng Qi was dragging along, who looked like a dead dog, was her father.

"Father, how... how could you do this?" Yi Pingxiang scrambled over, tears streaming down her face.

Upon hearing this voice, Yi Wenming became much more alert. After recognizing the person, he slapped them without hesitation.

"You! You..." Yi Wenming trembled and couldn't speak.

Yi Pingxiang stared at him blankly, a sense of foreboding creeping into her heart.

Everyone looked bewildered at the scene before them.

"Consort Wan, the Princess Consort was invited here, and you sent guards to arrest her?" Sheng Jingyu knew how to choose the important points.

Consort Wan was completely taken aback by his arrival. Her voice hoarse, she said, "Your Highness is being insolent, assaulting someone in the palace! I, as a Consort..."

"I am blind and did not see the beating, but does the Imperial Concubine have a hearing problem? Someone insulted the Princess here, and the Imperial Concubine turned a blind eye?" Sheng Jingyu sat down facing Imperial Concubine Wan, exuding an imposing aura.

His decision to sit here means this matter can't be resolved in just a few words.

Consort Wan laughed in anger, pointed at Su Wenyuan and asked, "Yi Pingxiang only said a few impudent words, can the Princess really hit her?"

"Insulting the Princess Consort deserves to die." Sheng Jingyu's nonchalant tone sent a chill down one's spine.

This is Prince Chen; he doesn't care about anyone's life.

A deathly silence fell; nothing could be said.

"Your Highness," Sheng Jingyu called out, wanting her to come over and stop standing there.

Su Wenyuan didn't move, but just pouted. Thinking about what happened today, she got angrier and angrier.

"Your Highness!" Sheng Jingyu called out again, his tone becoming helpless.

She's already hit someone, and she's still angry? She didn't even bother to complain when she saw me coming over.

Su Wenyuan said in a low voice, "He's here, he's not dead."

Her impatient and somewhat rude tone made everyone hold their breath for her.

Sheng Jingyu has never been one to show tenderness to women, but this time, his tone softened once again.

"If we're closer, what grievances could we possibly suffer?"

Everyone was even more shocked, even more so than when Su Wenyuan had just assaulted someone.

Is this still Prince Chen?

The doting tone of the voice made everyone start to doubt their own ears.

Sheng Jingyu was at a loss. If he didn't coax her, he would end up arguing with Su Wenyuan. There was still someone lying there who hadn't been dealt with yet. If the two of them argued again, people would laugh at them.

Someone always has to back down. Since he came to stand up for Su Wenyuan, it wouldn't make a difference if he took this step.

Su Wenyuan was filled with grievances, but had nowhere to vent them.

Hearing his question, she couldn't hold back any longer and looked at Yi Pingxiang, who looked panicked, and said, "Many people say that whatever I do is wrong. What a terrible banquet this is. I might as well stay home and play."

Her choked voice and complaining tone left everyone stunned.

The girls who had been making things difficult for Su Wenyuan along with Yi Pingxiang panicked immediately.

Didn't they say that Prince Chen wouldn't care whether she lived or died?

They've all come to the palace to back her up, and you still say you don't care?

Upon hearing the words "broken banquet," Consort Wan could no longer contain herself, breathing heavily, seething with anger.

She hadn't even complained about how her banquet had turned out like this, but Su Wenyuan was already starting to show her disdain.

Sheng Jingyu asked softly, "Were you frightened? Did you have Meng Qi take you home?"

This sentence surprised everyone again. Who was frightened?

These people were terrified. Princess Chen would hit people without warning. They were scared to death!

Sheng Jingyu is still comforting Su Wenyuan? They're the ones who should go back.

Consort Wan's voice trembled with anger as she tried to stop her, saying, "She can't leave! She hit a minister's daughter; we can't let this happen..."

She was only halfway through her sentence when she realized that not only was the minister's daughter lying there, but the minister himself was also lying there in a very sorry state.

They even specially arranged for a guard to watch over him!

"Sheng Jingyu!" Consort Wan was devastated. What was going on?

Sheng Jingyu said coldly, "Minister of Works Yi Wenming is corrupt and accepts bribes! I was just about to take him to see the Emperor when I encountered his daughter bullying the Princess. Does the Noble Consort have any other problems?"

Consort Wan slumped into her chair, speechless.

She's been accused of such a serious crime as embezzlement, and she can't even manage the affairs of the previous dynasty.

With all the former court officials fallen, there's no way to protect this daughter. Her insistence on protecting Yi Pingxiang will only make people think she's out of her mind.

Su Wenyuan exclaimed in surprise, "It's so lively! How will they handle this?"

Sheng Jingyu explained with a smile, "If the matter is found to be true, whether it is execution or exile depends on how Father Emperor decides to handle it."

"Yes! Can I hit you a few more times?" Su Wenyuan asked expectantly.

"I don't need you. Be careful not to hurt your hand. Just leave it to Meng Qi." Sheng Jingyu pulled her arm to prevent her from suddenly making a move.

Time is short, we need to get down to business quickly, otherwise she'll make things even more chaotic and cause trouble.

He has his own reasons for speaking and acting, but those listening and watching also have their own thoughts.

Prince Chen has learned to be considerate; he truly loves this princess.
