"puff……"

Someone in the crowd sneered, and others also suppressed their laughter. If it wasn't a matter related to the royal family, they would have burst into laughter.

"Get out of the way, everyone."

Four guards from the Earl's Mansion pushed through the crowd.

When everyone saw that it was the clothes on the guard, they all made way. The timid ones walked away early, fearing that they would be implicated.

"Okay, let's start from the beginning." The old man retracted his action and continued speaking without panicking when he saw the guard coming forward.

"If you want to live, shut up now, old man."

The guards shouted as they walked towards the stage.

The old gentleman was not afraid to continue from the beginning: "Noble Concubine Yuan was plotting to murder the Eighth Prince at Sifang Mountain. If it weren't for Miss Xiang who followed her all the way and risked her life to save her..."

"Old thing, I told you to shut up, but you still dared to talk... Pfft..."

One of the guards said this as he kicked the table. Just as his foot was about to touch the table, a flash of light appeared before his eyes, and blood gushed out, gradually reaching his face with a warm feeling...

"ah……"

When he came to his senses, a heart-wrenching scream rang out.

The other three guards only came to their senses after hearing the screams, and immediately drew their swords and pointed them at the woman whose face suddenly appeared.

Yingge raised the sword in her hand, the sword light flashed, and then the sound of jingling arose with the movement of her hands.

The three guards had just drawn their swords when they suddenly increased the strength in their hands, and the three swords slipped out of their hands in the blink of an eye.

The long sword turned twice in the air and fell to the ground with a clatter.

When the onlookers saw the fight, they dared not watch the show anymore and left quickly.

Most of the people in the central street, which was crowded just now, have dispersed. The vendors nearby subconsciously hid under their stalls, not daring to show their heads.

The guard looked down at the sword on the ground and took a few steps back.

"Who are you to dare to attack someone from the Earl's Mansion?"

"Whoever dares to disturb the old gentleman while he is telling a story will die today." Yingge said coldly.

The three guards exchanged glances. "You...my master is the son-in-law of the emperor. You are committing a serious crime by wantonly spreading royal affairs in public. Be careful..."

The sword in Yingge's hand flew out instantly, landing directly in front of the guard who spoke: "If you don't want to die, get out of here quickly."

The guard's face was filled with horror. He swallowed several times and dared not speak anymore.

The other two guards were also frightened. They pulled the guard who had just spoken back two steps, a little further away from the sword, and stepped forward to lift the injured guard and left quickly.

Halfway through the run, the guard dared to turn around and said, "You...you wait."

Yingge retracted his sword.

The old man on the stage was still giving a speech with great voice.

Xu Hongwen sat in the car, his mind full of interrogation and torture.

"Prince."

Xu Hongwen came back to his senses, not noticing that the storyteller's voice was still intermittent, and said, "Take the man to the Ministry of Justice."

"Prince...I am incompetent..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Hongwen raised his hand to lift the car curtain. His gaze stayed on the injured guard for a second, and then he looked up and saw the gentleman who was still performing vividly in the distance.

"What's going on?"

"The prince was just tried to be stopped by a woman who threatened to kill anyone who dared to interrupt him while he was lecturing." The guard reported truthfully.

Xu Hongwen concealed his anger and asked, "Do you know who that woman is?"

The three men shook their heads in unison. The seriously injured guard who was being carried back spoke weakly, "Prince...Prince, I have seen that woman."

"Where have I seen you before?"

"I saw him at the banquet at Prince Changyang's Palace. He seemed to be with the Eighth Prince."
