Chapter 310 Well Done
"What? Who is this person of yours that the princess is talking about? Is he coming to the palace? This princess has never heard any news. The young ladies came early this morning and we have been together the whole time."
Qin Qingyao looked at everyone and asked, "Have you heard that Prince Yi's Mansion has sent anyone over?"
"No."
"Yes, I arrived the latest and didn't see anyone from Prince Yi's Mansion at the door."
Qin Qingyao looked at Ling Anli with a feeling of grievance, "Princess Anli, you really misunderstood me. But who do you want to pick you up? Why don't I send someone to Prince Yi's mansion to invite him now?"
Ling Anli was so angry that she was shaking. "Enough! I'm talking about the maid I sent out to buy groceries this morning!"
"Buy groceries? Princess, if you think the food in our palace is not to your liking, why don't you tell me? Let the guests buy groceries and cook for themselves. If this gets out, won't the prince and I be laughed at by the whole world?"
At this time, Xin'er beside her spoke up, "Princess, when the prince left the palace last night, he instructed the doorman that the princess herself, a nanny, four maids, and four guards beside her can only go out but not come in!"
When Xin'er said this, the group of young ladies were shocked. Running away from home with nine servants? The royal princess is so majestic!
Look at her attitude towards the princess just now? This temper is really not something that ordinary people can stand.
She didn't even listen to what people outside were saying about her. She had forced the prince to hide in the Qin family, yet she was still here, acting arrogantly and domineeringly. She thought she was so great as a princess? How shameless!
Ling Anli's face flushed red after hearing Xin'er's words. What she feared most now was that Dugu Yu didn't love her at all and didn't accept her. Everything was just her self-directed and wishful thinking.
"How dare you! How could the prince give such an absurd order? How dare you fabricate and spread the prince's words? This princess thinks you are tired of living. Come, drag this bitch out and give her a hundred lashes!"
When these words were spoken, not only Xin'er trembled, but the group of young ladies were also so scared that they dared not make a sound.
How could such a little girl endure a hundred beatings? This is simply out of anger and humiliation, trying to kill her!
Upon hearing this, the three guards around the princess didn't even bother to ask Qin Qingyao's opinion. They just went straight to drag Xin'er and prepared to do as she was told.
Qin Qingyao smiled calmly, "Wucheng, didn't you hear what the princess ordered? Why don't you go and help!"
"yes!"
Before the group of young ladies could see clearly where the four tall and mighty secret guards came from, they had already followed Ling Anli's three guards.
As the saying goes, when beating a dog, you have to look at the owner first. Princess Anli is so arrogant even though she is staying in someone else's house. It is hard not to attract attention.
"Princess, please calm down. My prince had no choice but to give such an order. You and Prince Yi are father and daughter, so no matter how much you quarrel, nothing will happen. But it's really difficult for us to be caught in the middle."
"Prince Yi won't blame you for not going home, but if people misunderstand that it was the princess and the prince who refused to let you go, wouldn't that be unfair to us?"
"In order to protect your reputation and avoid suspicion, my prince has been living in my wife's family's home since yesterday. He won't come back until you leave."
"This princess still doesn't have any children. Can you think about me?"
Xin'er's words have made everyone know Dugu Yu's determination to drive Ling Anli away, and Qin Qingyao has publicly expressed his attitude of "please go home", so everything can be said to be very clear.
Even though those ladies from wealthy families managed their expressions very well, their friendly smiles that concealed layers of disgust and ridicule still made Ling Anli feel as if ants were crawling all over her body.
After everyone comforted Ling Anli for a while, Qin Qingyao took everyone away, leaving the princess to calm down.
After lunch, Qin Qingyao arranged rooms for the young ladies to rest. Seeing Wu Cheng and the others return, she quickly asked, "How is everything?"
Wu Cheng, "One hundred boards are not enough for three people, so I took the initiative to give twenty more. Please punish me, Princess."
Qin Qingyao gave Wu Cheng an admiring look. He was indeed her man. They were so telepathic!
Xin'er was Wucheng's future daughter-in-law. How could she be beaten by Ling Anli's men? So, although she was dragged away, Xin'er was not hurt at all. Instead, Ling Anli's three guards were beaten with forty sticks each by the four of them.
The palace guards personally beat the three men with sticks, and they won't be able to get out of bed for a while.
"Where are they?"
"I've ordered someone to take him back to Prince Yi's mansion to recuperate."
Qin Qingyao gave Wu Cheng a thumbs up and praised him sincerely, "Well done!"
I really can’t wait to see if Prince Yi’s old face can still hold on when he sees those three injured people!
In the afternoon, Qin Qingyao was still drinking tea and chatting with those young ladies, and no one mentioned Ling Anli again.
When it was time for everyone to go back, Qin Qingyao finally said, "This princess was really stupid before. She stayed in this palace by herself and rarely interacted with the young ladies from other families. Today's gathering is like we've known each other for a long time."
"So, I really don't want you to leave so soon. I want you to stay in the palace for another day. Is that okay with you? My prince is not here, and this palace is so big. You can choose any place you want to stay."
"Ah? Princess...isn't this a little unreasonable?"
"We're all women, what's unreasonable about that? Besides, Princess Anli has been living alone for two days, what are you all afraid of?"
"Princess, we sisters also want to be closer to you, but our parents at home are afraid..."
"Don't worry, this princess has already sent someone to inform your family. If anyone disagreed with you living here, they would have sent someone to pick you up long ago. But look, there's no one here."
"In that case, we'll excuse ourselves."
"Don't bother me, don't bother me. I'm happy to see you!"
No one else left, but Qin Qingyao's half-sister Zhu'er returned to the Qin family before dinner and told them everything that happened in the palace today and Qin Qingyao's decision to let the young ladies stay overnight.
Dugu Yu strongly disapproved, "What does she want to do by leaving so many people at home?"
Zhu'er didn't even have the courage to raise her head in front of Dugu Yu. "I don't know. My sister just said that she likes them and asked them to spend more time with her."
"Like them?" Dugu Yu curled his lips. Why wouldn't he believe it?
Could it be that Qin Qingyao, who looks so tough, is actually a coward and is afraid to even sleep when he is not around, so she needs so many people to accompany her?
The more Dugu Yu thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. No wonder he was never allowed to sleep in the study, haha!
"What did Ling Anli do today?"
"Two maids and a guard sent by Princess Anli to buy groceries were stopped by the palace guards and not allowed to enter. Miss Xin'er said that it was your order that Princess Anli's people were only allowed to leave but not enter. The princess was furious and ordered Miss Xin'er to be beaten with a hundred sticks."
Minister Qin and Madam Qin looked at Dugu Yu, who nodded, "I said so."
"Then the princess sent the palace guards to beat up the three guards who were about to hit Xin'er. After that, they carried her back to Prince Yi's palace."
Madam Qin, "The princess beat Princess Anli's guard in public?"
Zhu Er shook her head, "That's not the case. The princess never said she wanted to hit anyone."
Zhu'er is still confused as to why the people Qin Qingyao sent to help did not listen to her and help the princess's guards beat the maid, but instead beat up the princess's men.
Madam Qin breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, but at a time like this, Princess, please don't let anyone use you as a tool to criticize us."
Dugu Yu secretly calculated that when Ling Anli entered the palace, he brought nine servants with him. At the end of the day, only one nanny and two maids were left.
Haha, let’s see how long she can hold on in the palace!
That night, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Dugu Yu got up, dressed, and braved the biting cold wind to avoid the city guards patrolling the streets. He then sneaked back into his palace like a thief.
As a result, as soon as he slipped in, he alarmed Qin Qingyao's secret guards and almost alerted the entire mansion.
"How dare you, you thief, break into Prince Wu Ling's mansion at night!"
"Shut up, it's me!"
"Your Majesty? Why didn't you come back through the main entrance?"
Dugu Yu: “…”
I'm happy to climb over the wall, and you guys are in charge?
"Everyone, step back! Don't tell anyone that you saw me return home!"
"yes!"
After the secret guards left, Dugu Yu tiptoed into the room. Qin Qingyao, who was shivering and afraid to sleep alone as expected, was actually sleeping soundly with a dog in his arms.
Dugu Yu stood by the bed, furious. Now even a dog could take his place? This was outrageous!
Dugu Yu reached out to pull Qiuqiu's head. Qiuqiu woke up, and his eyes were frighteningly bright in the dark night. Dugu Yu froze, fearing that Qiuqiu would suddenly scream and wake up Qin Qingyao, which would be so embarrassing.
As a result, Qiuqiu just glanced at him, then very sensibly crawled out of Qin Qingyao's arms, jumped off the bed, rubbed affectionately against Dugu Yu's legs, and then returned to his own doghouse.
"Oh, what a good dog!"
Qin Qingyao felt her arms empty and the cold air came in. She curled up her arms, hugged the quilt and rolled around on the bed, muttering to herself.
"What?"
Dugu Yu put his ear close, ready to eavesdrop, but suddenly Qin Qingyao stretched out her arms and hugged her neck, "Husband, hug me."
Dugu Yu froze and blurted out, "Why?"
Qin Qingyao muttered, "Cold."
You're hugging me even though you're cold. Can't you feel the coldness you just came in from outside?
Dugu Yu pulled Qin Qingyao's hand but didn't pull it away. He was afraid that using too much force would wake her up, so he had to lie on the bed in mid-air, took off his cold coat with difficulty, and then got into bed.
Before dawn, he secretly climbed over the wall and ran back to the Qin family, leaving the secret guards with a lot of questions.
