"Oh, right, bring Helian Yan with you!"
Xie Yuan has not forgotten Helian Yan.
Initially, it was because we discovered such a "seed" of someone with a love-obsessed mind that we thought of investigating him in Beijing.
Unexpectedly, we actually discovered that Princess Xinping was a true romantic at heart.
Xie Yuan wanted Helian Yan to see for herself how utterly absurd and speechless those so-called men and women who used "love" as a pretext were.
Let her see how pathetic and ridiculous it is if you only know how to love others but not how to love yourself!
"yes!"
Luo Peiyu agreed, and seeing that Xie Yuan had no further instructions, she bowed and left.
Almost that same day, Xie Yuan's Empress Guard (women soldiers) mobilized two hundred men to surround Princess Xinping's residence.
Ruyi, who used to be a maid, has now become a commander of the women soldiers.
She was the one leading the team this time.
"First, guard all the front, back, east, and west corner gates, and don't allow anyone to enter or leave!"
Ruyi, dressed in silver armor, reached out and carried her weapon, and gave a loud order.
Beside her was Xie Yuan's trusted eunuch, Duoshou.
Duoshou also looked solemn, holding the imperial edict in his hands.
"yes!"
The female soldiers received their orders and immediately sprang into action.
"Deputy Chief Steward, please!"
Ruyi bowed slightly in a gesture of "please," and Duoshou bowed back slightly as well, saying, "You're too kind, Miss Ruyi!"
The two defered to each other, but in the end, Duoshou entered the princess's residence first.
There was no way around it; he was an "angel" responsible for delivering imperial decrees, and by nature, he was superior to others.
Princess Xinping and her husband, Yang, were both in the mansion when they heard the commotion outside and were both startled.
"My lord, I really want to hear someone say 'Empress's decree'?"
Xinping is only in her early twenties, but she got married early and already has a three-year-old child.
She looked utterly naive, and her eyes seemed to be able to draw out strands of silk as she looked at Prince Consort Yang.
"Um!"
Prince Consort Yang responded casually, but for some reason, he had a bad feeling.
Soon, the premonition came true.
"Arrest them and bring them to the Dali Temple for questioning?"
Yang, the imperial son-in-law, was both surprised and furious. Why was he being arrested when everything was fine?
Are you still going to interrogate me?
Could it be that his recent activities of secretly selling the princess's dowry and forcibly buying fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing under the princess's name have been discovered?
Or was it because he himself beat and scolded the princess and abused his daughter that someone reported him to the authorities?
Or perhaps...
Yang, the imperial son-in-law, racked his brains, considering countless possibilities, but he never doubted Xinping!
Why would you suspect her of something?
A fool who only cares about himself.
For him, she gave up all the honor of being a royal noblewoman and the self-respect of being a human being.
She could even abandon her own daughter!
Yang, the imperial son-in-law, was willing to bet that even if he killed Xinping with his own hands, this foolish woman would not harbor any resentment.
Without resentment, why would there be "revenge"?
"Princess, save me! Save me!"
"You know me, I... I must have been framed, I'm innocent!"
Yang, the imperial son-in-law, no longer cared about his family's reputation as a nobleman and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Yang, the imperial son-in-law, knew very well that his biggest backer was Xinping.
If Xinping doesn't take care of him, he'll only have one way out: death.
As for unfavored illegitimate princesses like Xinping, Yang Fuma didn't care what price they would have to pay to save him.
"My lord! My lord!"
Xinping had no princess-like demeanor at all; she was like a little woman who had lost her backbone, crying and wailing.
Prince Consort Yang: ...
I used to think it was a good thing that Xinping wasn't like a princess, because she was easy to fool.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that someone as weak as Xinping was a real headache.
She's a princess!
It is you!
If she were to protect the prince consort with all her might, how would those soldiers dare to act recklessly?
As a result, Xinping just covered his face and sobbed, letting a group of rude soldiers rush up to him, tie him up, and shove him around.
This is utterly disgraceful!
As disheveled as Prince Consort Yang was, he was utterly unable to maintain his noble bearing.
"take away!"
"copy!"
Ruyi issued the order decisively and efficiently.
Before long, the female soldiers rushed into all the courtyards of the princess's residence.
In the main courtyard that should have been the princess's residence, the prince consort's concubine was dressed in excessively luxurious clothing, enjoying herself comfortably.
These gifts, which were supposed to be part of a princess's dowry, were instead placed in the rooms of her concubines, mothers-in-law, and sisters-in-law.
What shocked everyone the most was that Yang Yi, the eldest daughter of a princess and the legitimate daughter of the Yang family, was actually locked in the woodshed by a concubine.
It's been seven days. They've only given him a bowl of water and a bean cake each day. The three-year-old child is being tortured to the point where he's practically half-dead!
As a well-informed female soldier commander, Ruyi felt that her temperament had been tempered and hardened like iron in the military camp and on the battlefield.
But seeing the poor little girl, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
The child is innocent!
How Xinping degrades herself for the sake of her love is her own choice.
He brought this on himself; he deserved it!
Where are the children?
She had no choice; she couldn't choose reliable parents, nor could she choose her own destiny, yet she had to endure suffering she shouldn't have to bear.
"Damn it! That scumbag deserves to die! And that woman who willingly debases herself deserves to die even more!"
Picking up the light little guy, Ruyi no longer cared about hierarchy and started cursing him.
"...Commander Ruyi, it's inconvenient for you to be wearing armor, so... let me hold this child."
Helian Yan's face was also filled with sympathy, pity, and a subtle emotion.
