Zhou Yuanheng frowned: "What happened?"
"Your Highness, please save my young lady!" Hongrui pleaded immediately. "These scoundrels are trying to bully her."
"How dare you be so insolent under the very nose of the Emperor!"
"Who the hell are you? Do you even know who my brother is? How dare you ruin our plans..." The ones shouting were the two thugs who were holding the maid.
result,
The Third Prince kicked each of them, knocking them to the ground.
Following the direction indicated by Hongrui, they went to rescue Chenzhiyi.
He then instructed the guards to take good care of the two maids and check if they were injured.
The people with red stamens and green lotus leaves were dumbfounded:
Why take care of them? Rescuing her daughter is the priority.
From the direction of the waterside pavilion, one could hear men's exclamations and Shen Zhiyi's cries for help from time to time.
The light was so dim that even moonlight couldn't penetrate, resulting in extremely low visibility. The Third Prince's eyes couldn't adjust for a moment, and he only heard Shen Zhiyi shout, "Help!"
His eyes hadn't even adjusted to the dim light when he was struck in the face with a stick!
"Bang—"
It hit him directly on the head.
He groaned in pain and felt a wave of dizziness.
Before they could even speak, Shen Zhiyi shouted, "Shameless scoundrels! How dare you harass respectable women! You don't want to live anymore!"
Before the Third Prince could react, he was hit several more times with a stick.
Even if he made a serious mistake, he would only be reprimanded and imprisoned by his father, the emperor. His birth mother was the empress. When had he ever been beaten like that? His skin was delicate and tender; he had never suffered such torment.
Gripping in pain, he hurriedly said, "Miss Chen, it's me!"
Who are you?
"I...I am the Third Prince!"
"You madman, you actually dare to impersonate a prince, you really have a death wish."
Inside the waterside pavilion, visibility was extremely low. The Third Prince didn't even know where Shen Zhiyi was. He was hit twice more on the back and bumped into someone who also seemed to have been hit quite badly. He thought Shen Zhiyi was about to attack again in the darkness...
He threw a punch with his backhand!
The third prince was immediately knocked to the ground.
He felt someone stepping over him, and the pain made his body spasm and tremble.
He didn't even have the strength to speak.
At this moment, Shen Muzhi had already returned with his younger brother and the Seventh Prince. Upon hearing that his younger sister was in trouble, he rushed inside in a hurry.
The Third Prince's guards then slowly followed him inside, holding up lanterns high.
A planned hero rescue of the damsel in distress.
This young lady from the Shen family was harassed, and her own prince rescued her. At this moment, she must be tightly held in his arms. Having such physical intimacy and the grace of being saved, she has no choice but to marry her own prince.
The group proceeded slowly, naturally giving His Highness a chance to display his prowess.
After all, it had been agreed beforehand that it would just be an act, and those madmen wouldn't dare to harm His Highness.
result,
With the lanterns held high, Shen Muzhi rushed into the waterside pavilion and was stunned by what he saw.
My younger sister was holding a wooden oar, about the thickness of a child's wrist, which seemed to be for rowing. The thugs, their faces bruised and swollen, were hiding in a corner, groaning in pain. As for the Third Prince...
He was curled up on the ground, his once luxurious clothes now trampled beyond recognition.
In a sorry state.
"Third Prince?" Shen Zhiyi hurriedly dropped the wooden stick. "What are you doing here?"
Zhou Yuanheng was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. When the guards helped him up, he was still in great pain all over his body.
Shen Muzhi was also stunned for a long time. "Little...little sister, are you alright?"
"Second brother!" Shen Zhiyi hurriedly ran behind her brother. "I was so scared! These madmen actually tried to take liberties with me. I was so frightened that I didn't know what to do."
"You bastard! How dare you bully my sister? You don't want to live anymore!"
As Shen Muzhi spoke, he kicked the thug closest to him.
His kick was extremely powerful.
He actually kicked the man several meters away.
"You bastard! Your parents failed to raise you properly, but I'll take care of you!"
The result was...
These people had already been beaten up in the dark, and now Shen Muzhi had picked them up like chicks and beaten them up again.
Shen Zhiyi covered her face with a handkerchief, and it seemed that she was crying.
That appearance,
So pitiful.
"Your Highness!" Wei Mingzhen rushed over at this moment. "What happened to you? Who dares to be so presumptuous as to injure a prince?"
“This…” Shen Zhiyi looked troubled.
"Could it be you?" Wei Mingzhen was dumbfounded.
“Some thugs tried to bully me, so I fought back with a stick. It was too dark here, and when the Third Prince rushed in, I didn’t even see him clearly. I mistook him for a thug and beat him up too.”
The Third Prince's lips twitched. "I'll introduce myself now."
"Bad people are often cunning and treacherous; I thought they were just talking nonsense." Shen Zhiyi looked pitiful, humble, and helpless, which didn't seem like she was lying.
When people are in a state of extreme fear, how can they think rationally?
The Third Prince just smiled sheepishly: "It's not Miss Shen's fault. It's good that you're alright."
A hero saves the damsel in distress?
How could he have been beaten to such a state?
If this gets out, it'll be so embarrassing!
"Sister Chen, are you alright?" The Seventh Prince had already jogged in.
"It's nothing, I was just scared."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I can protect you." The Seventh Prince flattered her and helped her out of the waterside pavilion.
Shen Qi'an was also furious. He rushed over and kicked the group a few more times, shouting, "Second Brother, we must send these people to the authorities and punish them severely!"
"Definitely."
Shen Muzhi had already beaten the thugs to their knees and begged for mercy, and was waiting for the government officials to arrive.
He also made a point of thanking the Third Prince: "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my little sister."
The Third Prince's lips twitched violently.
