The four maids, including Haitang, were terrified.
Four figures rushed out from among the people of the Prince's mansion who were surrounded at the gate.
They were all dressed in black, like bodyguards.
"Your Highness!"
The four men knelt beside the stretcher, calling out to Prince Cheng.
Ning Xi'er lowered her head and looked at her unconscious "husband" on the ground.
He was thin, and because he was facing down, his face was not visible.
Even with her hair covering her face, her stunning profile and ethereal beauty are still evident.
The bloodstains clung tightly to the skin of the underwear, outlining the lines of the legs.
The lower legs below the knees were even thinner than the woman's arms...
Two guards took off their coats, intending to cover Prince Cheng with them, but were stopped by the imperial guards who ordered them to return to their ranks.
It was clearly intended to make the people watch Prince Cheng at his most pathetic moment.
With guards in front, the servants of the Prince's mansion charged at the surrounding Imperial Guards, their eyes reddening.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!"
Each person, their voice trembling with tears, commanded the solemnity of the onlookers.
Although His Highness Prince Cheng is physically disabled, he restrains his own behavior and that of the students at the affiliated middle school...
He usually travels lightly and simply, and when he encounters ordinary people, he is never disrespectful, nor does he ask them to give way.
If they encountered the elderly, weak, women, or children being bullied or in danger along the way, they would order their attendants to help them.
In addition to Prince Cheng's status, the late emperor implemented benevolent policies, and Prince Cheng, as the former crown prince, was renowned for his virtue and talent...
The people of Great Yan know why they have suffered such a calamity.
Or rather, after His Majesty ascended the throne, we have witnessed his series of actions and the character and conduct of his princes...
The people of Great Yan had already guessed the fate of Prince Cheng.
But seeing it in person still sends chills down your spine!
If the late emperor had foreseen that his only son—the former Crown Prince, Prince Cheng—would have passed the throne to Your Majesty in such a way, would he still have done so?
The people only dared to think about this issue in their hearts; no one dared to discuss it.
"Yo!"
A gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd.
The imperial guards and the people in the prince's palace also showed surprised, yet touched, expressions.
It turned out that Ning Xi'er untied her wedding robe, waved aside the imperial guards blocking her way, walked to Prince Cheng's side, and covered him with her robe.
After taking off her outer garment, Ning Xi'er had a loungewear over her inner garment, so it didn't affect her attire.
The commander of the Imperial Guards frowned, giving Ning Xi'er a cold look. Just as he was about to speak to stop her, he ordered someone to remove the clothes covering Prince Cheng...
Ning Xi'er stood up, looked straight at him, and reminded him, "Commander, the palace is quite large. I advise you not to neglect your duties!"
The commander of the Imperial Guards raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly.
This is the first time he's encountered someone who's so impatient and urging him to confiscate a house that he's conducted so many times under imperial orders!
After checking the time, I realized that Prince Cheng had received all the humiliation he deserved!
There's really no need for him to waste his time arguing over such a trivial matter at this moment.
"The princess is right!"
The commander of the Imperial Guards glanced at the unconscious Prince Cheng on the stretcher, his eyes looking down on him and his tone arrogant.
They knew that the person on the stretcher couldn't hear anything at that moment, and was perhaps just talking to the people present.
"By order of His Majesty, Prince Cheng harbors disloyal intentions. Out of consideration for the late Emperor's kindness, his entire estate is confiscated, and he is exiled three thousand li away!"
The crowd erupted in uproar.
The people in the Prince's mansion looked at each other in bewilderment. Although some were anxious and weeping, at least they hadn't lost face for the Prince's mansion.
The commander of the Imperial Guards turned around, facing the main gate of the Prince's Mansion, and sternly ordered, "Seize it!"
Therefore, half of the imperial guards surrounding the palace quickly ran into the palace.
The festive banners and bright red lanterns hanging high on both sides of the Prince's Mansion now seem even more ironic.
Ning Xi'er walked over to the group of people from the Prince's mansion who were surrounded by the Imperial Guards, waved aside two Imperial Guards, and called over the four guards of Prince Cheng who had just stepped forward.
The imperial guards were displeased; when had they ever been challenged in such a way? But even if they were blind, they knew that the princess's father was the Marquis of Dingyuan, who was currently enjoying the emperor's favor.
The princess's maternal grandfather was none other than the current prime minister!
Therefore, even though they had just been swatted away by the princess, they could only grit their teeth and endure it!
Xuanfeng, Xuanshuang, Xuanlei, and Xuandian are the personal guards of Prince Cheng, Xie Zhun.
Everything that happened to him before and after entering the palace was within Xie Zhun's calculations.
The palace was already heavily guarded, and the four guards were not allowed to enter. Xie Zhun ordered the four of them to wait patiently until the charade in front of the mansion was over...
However, none of the four expected the princess to react in this way.
At Ning Xi'er's behest, the four carried Prince Cheng's stretcher to the group of people from the Prince's residence.
In fact, the public viewed this move as somewhat unnecessary.
The stretcher was only a few feet away from the people in the Prince's mansion.
Little did they know, Ning Xi'er had been planning ahead...
Before long, two Imperial Guards rushed out in a panic. Upon hearing this, the commander of the Imperial Guards immediately changed color!
The commander of the Imperial Guards strode inside.
Ning Xi'er slightly curved her lips into a smile.
