"Beat them!"
Two fists can't fight four hands, and the fourth prince was quickly pinned to the ground and beaten by the thugs.
Just as Nan Qianyue upstairs was about to order Weida to make a move, the Fourth Prince's follower seemed to sense something and immediately spoke up to stop him.
"Please refrain from interfering for now, Miss Nan. Her Highness the Imperial Concubine intends for the Fourth Prince to suffer more."
Nan Qianyue frowned. "Were these thugs arranged by the Imperial Concubine?"
The follower shook his head, "No, Miss Nan, don't worry, there are people watching him secretly, the Fourth Prince will be fine."
The southward migration of the moon left a lingering murmur; the way this imperial concubine raised her children... amazing.
The Fifth Princess, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. She rolled up her sleeves and rushed down, saying, "I'm going to suffer too!"
"Alas!" Nanqianyue failed to catch the person, and the Fifth Princess ran away very fast.
The emperor was worried about the southward migration; the fifth princess, being a girl, was not easy to handle.
"Aren't you going to stop it?" Nan Qianyue asked her follower in astonishment.
The attendant smiled and nodded. "Her Majesty said that the Fifth Princess brought this trouble upon herself, so let her suffer. Don't worry, Miss Nan, there are people secretly helping her..."
"Stop talking." Nan Qianyue didn't want to listen and leaned out the window to stare at the situation below.

"Ah—brother! I'm here to save you!"
The thugs couldn't dodge in time and got hit several times.
After realizing what was happening, he snatched the stick that was being wildly swung around.
"Hey, where did this chick come from? She's got a good look." The gang leader stroked his chin and licked his lips.
The Fifth Princess helped the Fourth Prince up, glared at them, and scolded, "How dare you! You bunch of unruly commoners! Do you believe I'll chop your heads off!"
"She said she's a princess?" The gang leader pointed at the Fifth Princess and sneered, "Then I'd be the prince consort!"
“Brother, brother,” the more cautious thug whispered, “this woman is dressed quite expensively; she must be someone of high status.”
Just as the thugs were entangled, a few sharp blades flashed in the shadows from a corner.
When Nanqianyue discovered this, she didn't think it was one of the Imperial Concubine's people.
Because she sensed a familiar murderous aura.
"Veda, protect the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Princess."
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, a deadly weapon, poised to strike from the shadows, shot towards the Fourth Prince's vitals.
