Chapter 68: The Prince's Arrows Are For Blood
Su Yanshu finally found the back mountain and saw Yu Shengsheng. Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw that she was about to be beaten.
How could this be possible? He immediately shouted.
Normally, when Yu Shengsheng was punished and beaten at home, that was a family matter. But if she was bullied by outsiders, that was another matter.
Su Yanshu quickly walked to Yu Shengsheng and protected her behind him.
He glared at the old woman, his face as gloomy as water.
Although he is a scholar, he is also the son of a general and has followed the prince for a long time, so his aura and pressure are beyond doubt.
The old woman was startled and could not help but look at each other and take two steps back.
Su Yanshu asked coldly: "How dare you touch someone from my general's mansion? Do you think my Su family is easy to bully?"
He looked at Princess Duanyang after he asked, his expression slightly relieved: "Greetings, Princess. I didn't expect you to come to listen to the Zen lecture. I wonder how I offended you? Why did you start a war here?"
He first introduced his family background, then mentioned that it was a Buddhist holy place, and pointed out that Yu Shengsheng had not offended Princess Duanyang.
After a series of questions, Princess Duanyang's face turned red and she felt a little embarrassed.
She snorted coldly, "Who was I thinking? It turned out to be Second Young Master Su. What kind of sister is she to you? If it was Princess Rongyang, I would still give her some respect. But this Yu Shengsheng..."
Su Yanshu interrupted her: "Shengsheng is also my sister. If she is rude, the princess needs to give way to her. I will punish her and make her admit her fault to the princess. If she is polite, the princess doesn't need to give way to her."
"May I ask, what did she do wrong to make the princess so angry that she wanted to beat her in a place like this?"
Every word he spoke was sonorous and clear, without any ambiguity, and he had no intention of settling the matter peacefully.
Yu Shengsheng was protected by him behind him, a strand of his hair was blown by the wind and brushed across her cheek.
Yu Shengsheng turned her face away, her hair fluttering by.
There was no ripple in my heart.
If it was a year ago, she would have been filled with joy, with her brother protecting her, not afraid of power, and fighting for her rights.
But now, she is no longer the same Yu Shengsheng.
The Su family hurt her badly, treated her as a bargaining chip, and exchanged her at will without regard to her wishes. Could it be that giving her a little benefit and a little protection would move her?
I'm afraid it's just their self-admiration.
Yu Shengsheng's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm, and his eyes swept towards the two little birds in the distance.
They flapped their wings, chirped, and flew over the treetops and into the distance.
She and Qi Mubai will soon be like these two little birds.
…
The abbot was talking about Zen, and Hao Mengye finally had some free time. He took the painting from his subordinates, opened it and took a look, then let out a sigh of relief.
"Are the people here?"
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, now that we are here, light the eternal lamp in the hall in front."
"Please ask him to come over."
"yes."
This painting has come to play an important role at this time. Hao Mengye thought to himself that as long as he could accomplish this task, he would no longer owe Yu Shengsheng anything.
Just as he was thinking, a subordinate came to report: "Grand Commander, Princess Duanyang and Miss Yu had a conflict at the calligraphy stele in the back mountain."
Hao Mengye frowned: "Princess Duanyang? What's wrong with her again..."
Before he finished speaking, I already understood.
He chuckled, "I really avoid what I don't want, and I get angry when I can't get what I want."
"Kong Dezhao probably never thought that Princess Duanyang would be jealous of him."
"What the commander-in-chief said is that Su Yanshu has already gone there. So we..."
"Don't worry about it," Hao Mengye snorted, "Su Yanshu will definitely do his best to protect his cousin."
…
Su Yanshu protected Yu Shengsheng and did not give in to Princess Duanyang.
Princess Duanyang was furious: "Su Yanshu, who do you think you are? How dare you disobey me? Believe it or not, I will beat you up too!"
"Someone come!"
The two maids agreed, but they felt uneasy.
This Second Master Su is indeed not an official, but he has a good family background and is a popular figure around the Crown Prince. Beating him? Isn't that playing with one's life?
Su Yanshu sneered: "Princess, you should think twice before you act. If my brother and I were beaten in the pure land of Buddhism, would we be able to stop it? There are many distinguished guests today. If the news gets out, do you have the ability to escape unscathed?"
Princess Duanyang was also very angry, but Su Yanshu refused to give in, so she had no choice.
Now that his identity was exposed, he became even more angry and embarrassed.
If she beat him, she was indeed a little afraid of the consequences, but if she didn't beat him, it would be even more embarrassing.
"Don't try to scare me. I am a royal relative, so how can I not punish you? Come on, beat them up!"
The old woman had no choice but to raise her hand. Before the slap could fall, a sharp wind whistled in and passed through the old woman's palm steadily.
The old woman screamed miserably, and a small crossbow arrow was found stuck in her palm, which had been pierced!
Yu Shengsheng's nonchalant expression changed slightly, and her whole body tensed up.
She recognized this crossbow arrow; it was Kong Dezhao's arrow.
Kong Dezhao's voice was cold but with a hint of laughter, as he slowly said, "Who was I thinking? She was so arrogant. It turns out she is the daughter of our Prince Rui. She is extremely beautiful, talented, and of noble birth, Princess Duanyang."
The two of them came over unsteadily, and Kong Dezhao's eyes were like arrows, shooting towards Princess Duanyang.
"It's still the Feng Shui of the capital that nourishes people. Look, Princess Duanyang's demeanor is completely different from when she was in Nanshun."
"Seeing you being so arrogant and wanting to hit someone, I almost forgot how you and your daughter were like lapdogs when you were in Nanshun."
All around was quiet, even the old woman's cries of pain became quieter.
Princess Duanyang's face was pale and blue, her fingers were twisted together tightly, cold sweat was oozing out of her back, and the smell of blood was in the air. The old woman who had raised her hand to hit someone just now was now shaking with pain and half-kneeling on the ground.
She never thought that she would meet Kong Dezhao again in this way, and she never expected that Kong Dezhao would laugh at her in front of so many people, especially Yu Shengsheng.
I originally wanted to save face, but now, not only have I lost it all, but I was also thrown to the ground and stepped on.
How could she cope with this? How could she meet people in the capital in the future?
“My Lord, you…” Princess Duanyang stepped forward, “Why am I so arrogant? It was clearly Yu Shengsheng who wrote the calligraphy on the stele privately. With her status, how could she be qualified to do that? I just taught her a lesson, but she still refused to admit her mistake.”
Su Yanshu bowed and said, "Your Highness, please allow me to report this. The calligraphy stele has been here for over a hundred years, and anyone can make a copy of it. There has never been any talk of status."
Kong Dezhao waved his hand and didn't care what Su Yanshu said.
"Someone, dig out the stele."
When these words were spoken, not only Princess Duanyang, but also Yu Shengsheng and Su Yanshu were shocked.
Kong Dezhao looked at Yu Shengsheng and smiled at her like a tiger.
"You like it? That's easy. I'll dig it out and give it to you."
Yu Shengsheng bowed quickly: "Thank you, Your Highness. There is no need to do this. I have already copied it..."
"This is nothing. Dig it back and make as many copies as you want." Kong Dezhao put his arm on the two people's work and waved to her.
"come over."
