Anger points from Zhao Ruizhi: +444 +444 +444...
Seeing the ferocious and vicious look on his face, he remembered his experience when he first arrived at the East Palace. He had heard that several eunuchs and palace maids had been killed by this guy.
I was almost fooled by his simple and honest appearance these days, and I forgot how cruel he actually is.
"What, none of you are moving? Are you all in cahoots with this guy?" The Crown Prince grew increasingly angry and roared at the others, "If you don't make a move, you'll all be punished the same way!"
The people from the Eastern Palace looked at each other in bewilderment, and could only whisper to Zu An, "Lord Zu, please forgive us, please bear with it for now."
It's only because Zuan usually had a good relationship with these people; otherwise, anyone else would have been beaten to a pulp by now.
Zuan was pressed down on the platform, and a group of guards came over carrying large boards.
His face was ashen. In fact, being beaten could enhance his skills, but the humiliation was far too great.
He's not a masochist; he can accept being badly beaten by a high-level cultivator in battle, but he can't quite accept being beaten like this.
Just as I was pondering how to escape, a cold voice rang out: "Stop!"
Everyone in the Eastern Palace breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the Crown Princess had arrived; only she could keep the Crown Prince in check.
Otherwise, if the Crown Prince really goes mad, they will probably suffer as well.
Upon seeing the elegant and beautiful woman in palace attire walking in, the Crown Prince exclaimed excitedly, "Linglong, you've come at the perfect time! Watch how I teach this bastard who bullied you a lesson!"
The Crown Princess scanned the entire room with her phoenix eyes, then her attention lingered on Zu An for a moment. She roughly guessed what had happened, and her eyebrows furrowed: "What is the Crown Prince doing?"
The prince replied, "I'm beating the person who bullied you."
“The Emperor and the Grand Master of Ceremonies have already said that we were framed by a villain, yet you hit him here. What will people think of me if this gets out?” The Crown Princess was on the verge of tears. “Everyone will only think that I really did something shameful with him. How am I supposed to live like this? Does the Crown Prince want to make Consort Bai his official wife? There’s no need for this. I’ll go to the Cold Palace myself. I’d rather not be the Crown Princess anymore.”
The crown prince was immediately flustered and didn't know where to put his chubby hands: "Linglong, don't be angry. That's not what I meant. I just wanted to vent your anger."
"If Your Highness truly wants to avenge me, you should seek out the culprits who framed us, not deal with Zu'an," the Crown Princess cried, tears streaming down her face like pearls. "You won't avenge me; instead, you'll ruin me forever, sob sob..."
The crown prince immediately panicked: "I won't hit him then..."
The Crown Princess immediately interrupted him: "Not only should we not beat him, but we should also give him important positions. Only in this way can we show that we have a clear conscience and completely dispel the doubts of all parties."
Zu An was dumbfounded; this woman really had the Crown Prince completely under her thumb.
