The board landed on him.
Anyone with eyes could see that the Imperial Guards' methods were different from ordinary people's. With each strike of the board, Pei Zhao's body trembled, and his face turned paler.
"Zhao'er, hurry up and apologize to the Crown Prince!" The Prince of Zhennan was so angry he almost jumped up and down.
Unfortunately, everyone present was a member of the Imperial Guard, so he was completely helpless once Song Yue opened her mouth.
Pei Zhao gritted his teeth: "Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I beg you to show mercy."
Yun Ke raised his hand: "Stop. Send the person to the Xu family. Until the Xu family's funeral is over, Prince Pei is not allowed to leave the Xu family's residence. Otherwise, he will be punished with one hundred strokes of the cane!"
According to the Imperial Guard's fighting style, at most fifty people would be killed.
Pei Zhao was dragged away and thrown onto the carriage like a dead dog, which made the Prince of Zhennan's lips tremble violently with anger.
A hunt made the situation clear to everyone present.
The Crown Prince holds military power, while the Crown Princess wields the power of life and death; she can punish you at any moment if she's displeased.
Song Yue walked unhurriedly to the betting table, picked up the jade pendant and casually tied it to her waist, gently stroked it, and then tore the agreement underneath to shreds.
This scene enraged Princess Liang Ying to the point of black eyes. She stared wide-eyed as the two men boarded the carriage one after the other and led away all the Imperial Guards.
The atmosphere gradually eased.
The Prince of Zhennan grabbed Lord Li with one hand: "Why are you spouting nonsense and falsely accusing my son!"
Lord Li trembled and insisted that it was Pei Zhao who shot Lord Xu.
The Prince of Zhennan clenched his fists in anger.
"Alright." Zhao Zhiyan suddenly spoke, his eyes sweeping over everyone indifferently: "Things are already like this, there's no point in saying more."
This was the first thing Zhao Zhiyan said today.
He was an observer from beginning to end.
Helpless, the Prince of Zhennan had no choice but to angrily let go.
The crowd gradually dispersed and returned to their respective residences.
"Princess!"
Xu Lingqing jogged to catch up with Princess Liang Ying and asked worriedly, "Is the princess injured?"
Princess Liang Ying looked at Xu Lingqing with a complicated expression, and sighed for a long time: "Eighth Princess, the Crown Princess is not a kind person. Don't fight with her. It's fine as it is now."
Xu Lingqing's expression changed slightly.
A hunting trip completely changed Princess Liang Ying's mindset. What exactly happened on the hunting grounds?
No matter how much she pressed her for details, Princess Liang Ying did not reveal a single word.
She's in a hurry to go back and deal with that bitch, Aunt Wan.
As darkness fell, Princess Liang Ying returned to her residence but found no trace of Consort Wan. The place was deserted. Her maidservant said that someone had taken Consort Wan away that morning, heading towards the outskirts of the city.
Princess Liang Ying immediately realized she had been tricked, and she gritted her teeth: "Song Yue!"
"Is the princess looking for me?"
Song Yue had appeared at the doorway at some point, walking towards them step by step, still clutching the receipt in her hand: "Princess, I've come to collect a debt."
