Princess Jia Hua took two steps back, blocking Song Yue and Song Huan's view, and said domineeringly, "Today I will show you what rules are and what justice is!"
At a command
The Imperial Guards moved with the agility of ghosts, darting nimbly among the guards.
Whoosh!
There was no chance for the opponent to draw their sword.
In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, dozens of guards had their throats slit, dying instantly with a single sword stroke, lying on the ground with their eyes wide open in death.
The air was instantly filled with a strong smell of blood.
Everyone was stunned.
Princess Qing looked at all the guards she had brought with her, now all dead, and stared at Princess Jia Hua in shock: "You, you've gone mad!"
"Smack!"
Princess Jiahua rushed forward and slapped Princess Qing hard across the cheek.
Princess Zhennan was dumbfounded.
"Today I will teach you what rules are!"
Princess Qing never expected to be beaten. She was stunned, and after regaining her senses, she was both angry and furious. She covered her face, but Princess Jiahua said, "How dare the mere Prince Qing be so presumptuous in front of me! He is overestimating himself!"
After beating Princess Qing, Princess Jiahua turned her attention to Princess Zhennan: "I'll tell you straight today, as long as the Emperor is on the throne, no one can shake my position. I can crush you as easily as crushing an ant!"
Princess Zhennan thought Princess Jiahua must have gone mad.
She actually had the audacity to say such outrageous things.
That's utterly shameless!
Song Yue's nose turned red. So this is what it feels like to be protected. It feels so good!
Princess Jiahua, worried that it would frighten Song Yue behind her, ordered people to clean up the corpses on the ground as soon as possible. She frowned in disgust and ordered people to take Princess Qing and Princess Zhennan to the hall to wait.
She turned around to comfort the two of them. After seeing Song Yue's injuries, Princess Jiahua was so angry that she wanted to kill someone. Shen Ruyun swallowed and said, "Mother, Mother, the imperial physician said that Third Sister's injuries look frightening. If she rests, they may not leave scars. I deliberately made it sound more serious just now."
Princess Jia Hua's anger subsided slightly.
"Aunt, did we cause trouble?" Song Huan pouted.
Princess Jia Hua looked at Song Huan with a gentle expression: "Your aunt already knows what happened on the street. You did the right thing. If you are bullied, you must fight back. If you can't beat them, run away."
Hearing Princess Jia Hua's words of comfort, Song Huan finally couldn't hold back her tears any longer.
Seeing this, Tao Shi, who was standing behind her, was in her throat. Seeing Princess Jia Hua's attitude towards her daughter, she thought that her daughter was just a fool with good luck, and had inexplicably caught the princess's eye.
"Sister-in-law, today's incident has blown up. Will the Emperor blame us?" Tao asked with some worry.
It's one thing to hit an ordinary person, but this is Princess Qing.
He was also an elder of the Northern Chu Emperor.
Princess Jia Hua disagreed.
If that person knew that he had brought up his name in front of everyone, he would be grinning from ear to ear.
In fact, when the news reached the ears of the Northern Chu Emperor...
The eunuch looked uneasy: "Your Majesty, the princess has caused a great disaster this time. She killed so many people brought by Princess Qing and even hit Princess Qing. It will be difficult to explain to Prince Qing."
After speaking for a long time without any reaction from the Northern Chu Emperor, Eunuch Li cautiously raised his head and saw a strange smile on the Northern Chu Emperor's face.
"Your Majesty?" Eunuch Li called out.
The Emperor of Northern Chu glanced sideways at Eunuch Li and said, "I'm not deaf; I heard you."
Eunuch Li shrank his neck and said with a bitter face, "This servant has already inquired about the imperial physician who treated Princess Longqing's wound. The physician said that it is so deep that the bone can be seen, and it will definitely leave a scar."
Princess Longqing was the youngest daughter of Princess Qing, and she was pampered and cherished since childhood. Her face was disfigured by the Third Princess, and Prince Qing would certainly not let it go.
"I remember there is still some honey-snow cream that Persia sent as tribute before the New Year in the storeroom. Go and get it quickly and send it to the Duke of Jingguo's residence."
After hearing the first half, Eunuch Li was taken aback and asked in astonishment, "Who did His Majesty just say he wanted to give it to?"
"Naturally, it's for A-Yue!" the Northern Chu Emperor urged, as he wanted to personally deliver the Honey Snow Cream to the Duke of Jing's residence.
"emperor……"
"Stop your nonsense!" The Emperor of Northern Chu glared.
Eunuch Li was both amused and exasperated. He knew that whenever Princess Jia Hua's affairs came up, no matter who the other party was, the Emperor wouldn't give them any face!
noon
Jingguo Duke's Mansion Hall
The hall was packed with people, and even the Dowager Lady didn't dare to sit down. She looked worriedly at the gloomy faces of Princess Qing and Princess Zhennan, and sighed.
Princess Jia Hua arrived shortly afterward.
His complexion was no better than the two others, and there was an undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.
The old lady's eyelids twitched.
Princess Jia Hua sat in the seat of honor, her cold eyes lingering on the two men, remaining silent and waiting for a response.
A moment later, news came from outside that Prince Qing and Prince Zhennan had arrived.
Princess Qing straightened her back as if she had found a powerful backer, and when she turned around, she saw Prince Qing and Prince Zhennan hurrying towards her.
“Your Highness.” The handprint on Princess Qing’s face was clearly visible.
Before arriving, Prince Qing had already heard the whole story. He stood there with a gloomy expression, his sharp, eagle-like eyes fixed on the person sitting in the hall, and he shouted in a rough voice, "Jiahua!"
Princess Jia Hua raised an eyebrow slightly, propped herself up on the table with one hand, and asked, "Uncle Qing, are you here to apologize on behalf of Princess Qing?"
"Apologize?" Prince Qing's face darkened. "Your daughter injured someone, and you detained that person. You expect me to apologize to you?"
"Uncle, your words are a bit of a distortion of the truth. First, it was your daughter Longqing who did the beating. She was beaten, and so was my daughter. Now that she is disfigured, it is her own fault. Second, Princess Qing showed no respect for the law and led people to storm into the Duke of Jing's mansion. I was just protecting myself. She frightened my daughter. What is wrong with me detaining her?"
