Chapter 567: The Deposed Princess Strikes Back at the Female General 14
Su Ziyan fell straight down, and Yu Wenrui breathed a sigh of relief. It was better that she fainted to avoid embarrassment.
"Someone, come! Send the princess back to the bridal sedan and take her back to the palace!"
The wedding procession did not dare to delay and moved forward with the beating of gongs and drums. Yuwen Rui wanted to keep the situation peaceful, but the loud drumbeats could not stop the discussions of the people around him.
"Why did he suddenly faint? Wasn't he a general? His health is so poor, not even as good as the young lady of the Duke's Mansion, who is still standing well."
"You fainted after being angry. Are you pretending to faint? You must be feeling guilty!"
"So what the Oiran said is true. Miss Ji was wrongly accused. Someone really drugged herself!"
"Prince Rui is not capable of this and needs to use Xiongfeng Powder, hahaha..."
"Keep your voice down. You're not afraid of being caught."
Su Ziyan's fainting completely confirmed her evil deeds. She frequented brothels, owed money and didn't pay it back. She not only drugged herself, but also drugged Prince Rui, and incidentally framed Ji Yunhuan.
The accompanying officials took a big bite of the melon. Some of the officials from the Censorate were rather old-fashioned by nature and could not tolerate any injustice. They were so angry that they left on the spot.
"This is simply an insult to society! When they wanted to appoint a woman as a general, I disagreed. It is unlucky to serve in the same court with this person!"
"If she hadn't saved Prince Rui, she wouldn't have been able to be promoted to general based on her achievements in suppressing bandits. I have to report Su Ziyan for hanging around in brothels, confusing right and wrong, and framing loyal officials. How can she be a general?"
"I used to think that Prince Rui was wise, but now it seems that he is just a fool! Your Majesty also wants Prince Rui to work in the Ministry of Personnel. How can you select talents if you can't even recognize a woman?"
The wedding procession moved forward, but Prince Rui remained where he was. He waved at the guards around him and said coldly, "Liu Xu'er cannot stay."
Liu Xuer stayed with Yueying and others. She originally wanted to beg Su Lang to take her away from Baihua Tower, but Su Lang didn't treat her as a human being at all.
She could only tell the truth and hoped that Miss Ji would save her life because of her help. She didn't want to go to the garden outside Beijing to serve others.
The royal guards went straight to Liu Xuer, but were stopped by Wu Jie and others. The secret guards hiding in the crowd also came out. They were all dressed as ordinary people. Just now they were hiding among the people and shouting very hard.
King Rui recognized these people and was furious. "I have treated you well in the past three years, but you all betrayed me! Who told you to return to the capital without permission? You disobeyed my orders and you deserve to be killed!"
Wu Jie sneered, "Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you?"
"Manor Master Hua has been kind to us, so we voluntarily follow him, regardless of life or death. Huan'er is the bloodline left by the manor master, and is also the hope for the future of Jianxiao Mountain Villa. The person we are loyal to is Huan'er, not you!"
"In the past three years, you have directed the brothers to run around everywhere. The brothers have done a lot of things for you. Not only are you ungrateful, but you also bully Huan'er behind his back. I'm lucky I didn't kill you. Get out! Don't delay Huan'er from returning home."
There was a flash of murderous intent in Yu Wenrui's eyes.
These people are really ungrateful people who can never be tamed. Ji Yunhuan just provoked them and they followed Ji Yunhuan. Since he can't use them, killing them is the safest way.
The royal guards had already drawn their swords, and another group of people from the patrol camp arrived. Seeing that a fight was about to break out, the people gradually dispersed and stayed away.
"Ji Yunhuan, I will say this one last time, go back to Prince Rui's Mansion!"
"It is true that I was deceived about the love powder, but are you completely innocent? If you had not targeted Yan'er, I would not have suspected you."
"You could have told me this privately, but you insisted on making a scene today and disrupting my wedding. I am really disappointed in you."
Ji Yunhuan felt that Prince Rui was ill and he blamed everything on her, even though she was clearly the victim.
"Yuwen Rui, I'll say this one last time. I want to go back to the Duke's Mansion! I want to divorce you!"
The steward of Prince Rui's mansion knelt down in front of Prince Rui and whispered something. Prince Rui's face changed and his anger grew even stronger!
"I will not let you go. Hand over the stolen token of Jianxiao Villa, and I will not pursue your fault. You will still be my concubine."
Ji Yun laughed out loud, "Those were originally things my mother left me, how did they become yours? I just married you, not sold them to you, why do you think everything I have is yours?"
King Rui was furious, "A woman must obey her husband after marriage. Your only way out is to help me succeed."
"Concubine Ji is a heretic who left the palace without permission and even teamed up with the thieves to disrupt my wedding. Capture Concubine Ji and kill the others without mercy!"
The royal guards rushed forward without saying a word. Their duty was to protect Prince Rui. Capturing a concubine was just a small matter.
The commander of the patrol battalion was a little hesitant. If it was an ordinary concubine, he could just arrest her, but this was an orphan from the Duke's Mansion. If the palace investigated it, Prince Rui would naturally be fine, but they would definitely be the first to be punished.
The secret guard was entangled by a large group of guards. The patrol battalion did not take direct action but just surrounded him.
Yu Wenrui approached Ji Yunhuan, raised his hand and hit Ji Yunhuan in the face, and said sternly: "Hand over the token!"
Ji Yunhuan dodged sideways, raised her hand and slapped Yu Wenrui in the face. Then she ran away, her steps so fast that Yu Wenrui could not catch up at all.
"Uncle Wu, have the secret guards take Yueying and the others to retreat, and take Liuxuer with you. There is no need to fight to the end."
Wu Jie slammed the two guards away and shouted, "What about your dowry? We can't let this bastard get away with it."
Ji Yunhuan said loudly: "These are all external possessions. They are many in number, and we cannot let the secret guards die in vain."
Ji Yunhuan planned to go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother. After things got to this point, the Queen Mother should agree to a divorce. If not, she would stay in Kunning Palace and not leave!
She didn't believe that Yuwen Rui would dare to go to Kunning Palace to capture her, so after the divorce, she would quietly go to Jiayuguan.
Yu Wenrui touched his face, feeling completely dazed from the blow.
Ji Yunhuan must be crazy, he actually dared to hit him!
"Capture Concubine Ji, regardless of life or death!"
Ji Yunhuan was surrounded by several royal guards. Just as he was about to take action, the sharp voice of the eunuch Tai Xuanzhi suddenly came from a distance.
"The Queen Mother's decree has arrived!"
The patrol camp quickly made way for them. The commander did not want to offend either side and said loudly, "Your Excellency has arrived at the right time. Prince Rui and Concubine Ji are having a tantrum, and it is not convenient for me to intervene. Fortunately, the Queen Mother's order has arrived."
The royal guards all stopped and knelt on the ground.
Prince Rui felt a slap mark on his face, which hurt badly. He bent down reluctantly and said, "Grandson, listen to your order."
