Chapter 654: The Deposed Princess Strikes Back at the Female General 101
The commotion here gradually attracted some people, and some young men also gathered on the other side of the stream.
Ji Yunhuan watched Cheng Xiaoyue's clumsy performance. If she hadn't pulled Xiaorui in time, Xiaorui would have fallen into the water and might have been injured, which would have attracted a crowd of onlookers.
The stream is not deep, but it will wet clothes. Xiao Rui can't swim. If she is lucky, she can climb up by herself. If she is unlucky, she will need someone to rescue her. There is so much that can be done about this!
Cheng Xiaoyue intended to harm others, but she did it very cleverly and cleared herself of all blame.
Ji Yunhuan reached out and pulled Nie Xirui over. He looked at Cheng Xiaoyue coldly and said indifferently, "Miss Cheng has been frightened. It is not appropriate for her to stay in Qingchuan Garden. Someone, send Miss Cheng back."
Cheng Xiaoyue was a little anxious, "I'm not frightened, I can still continue to attend the banquet, I won't go back!"
Her mission was not yet complete, she could not leave.
Nie Xirui looked confused and didn't understand why Sister Yun Huan wanted to send Xiaoyue away, but she was very well behaved and didn't say anything.
Ji Yunhuan said coldly: "It was Xiaorui who almost fell into the water, but you were scared to death. You didn't care whether Xiaorui was injured or not, but you were worried about what others would say about you. Since you are so timid and even cried out of fear, don't go out to attend banquets in the future."
As they were speaking, two eunuchs came forward, one on the left and one on the right, carrying Nie Xirui out.
A team of soldiers from the Northern Border Army also came and followed behind, strictly following General Ji's orders and sending Miss Cheng home.
Cheng Xiaoyue's resistance was futile, and she shouted, "This is a banquet hosted by the Empress Dowager. Ji Yunhuan, why are you sending me away? Let me go! I won't leave, I want to see the Empress Dowager!"
"You are so arrogant and domineering, deliberately bullying me. So many people are watching. Aren't you afraid of what they will say?"
Ji Yunhuan sneered, "Do you really think you're a piece of cake? Even if you scream your head off, the Queen Mother won't see you."
"Why do you ask me? Because I am a second-rank general, and I was ordered to protect the Queen Mother and Qingchuan Garden. You have evil intentions, so I cannot keep you here. It is useless for you to be dissatisfied, because you can't escape at all. You can only go back obediently."
In the face of absolute power and strength, Cheng Xiaoyue's conspiracies and tricks were nothing more than childish play.
To deal with Concubine Xiao, you may need to argue with reason and find out what is right and wrong, but to deal with Cheng Xiaoyue, you can just drive her away and solve the problem at the source.
Cheng Xiaoyue struggled desperately and shouted loudly towards the other side, trying to win the sympathy of the nobles.
Cheng Xiaoyue is well-known for her talent in the capital, and there are actually a few young men who are attracted to her and want to play the role of a hero to save the beauty and win her heart.
Someone reminded them, "Are you crazy? Even Prince Rui couldn't get any benefits from Ji Yunhuan. Don't you know that during the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Ji Yunhuan dared to embarrass Prince Rui on the spot? The key is that the Queen Mother is on Ji Yunhuan's side."
"She has the Queen Mother's support and she has real soldiers at her disposal. If a fight really breaks out, who among you can beat her? If you really bring the Queen Mother before you, you won't get any benefits."
"I think Cheng Xiaoyue is not completely innocent. She should use her brain. Ji Yunhuan is very popular now. Why would he pick on a little girl? There must be something fishy going on!"
The noblemen on the other side were all silent and no one spoke for Cheng Xiaoyue.
Cheng Xiaoyue had her mouth gagged and was quickly dragged away.
Nie Xirui looked a little depressed, she was just naive and didn't want to think the worst of others, but she was not stupid, she thought about it for a while and realized that Cheng Xiaoyue was deliberately trying to harm her!
"Why would she do this? I treat her as a friend. I think of her when I have good food and fun things to do. I give her beautiful jewelry and take her to parties. Am I usually too spoiled? So she is jealous of me? Then why doesn't she just say it? If I tell her, I will change. I didn't mean to make her unhappy."
Ji Yunhuan tapped Xiao Rui's head and sighed, "Don't think about it blindly. It's not your fault, nor is it because you are not good enough. It's just that some people are not worthy of your kindness. The bad guys are too bad and don't deserve your sincere treatment."
"Don't doubt yourself because of one person's bad behavior. There are still many family members and friends who deserve your sincere love. They will comfort you, tolerate you, and encourage you instead of suppressing you or framing you."
Not far away, there were a few young girls looking around, chattering and pushing each other. They wanted to come over to find Nie Xirui, but were afraid of Ji Yunhuan's power and did not dare to come forward.
Nie Xirui looked at all her friends and smiled widely.
"Yes! Sister Yun Huan, you are right. I will never talk to Cheng Xiaoyue again. I want to break up with her! I will also tell my good friends not to associate with Cheng Xiaoyue anymore. She is too scary!"
"Oh! It's all my fault that I was a little stupid. I didn't see that she had evil intentions. Fortunately, I discovered it in time. I don't care about it myself, but I'm afraid that it will implicate my father."
Ji Yunhuan wanted to give Nie Xirui some advice, so he analyzed Cheng Xiaoyue's plan and concluded:
"In fact, there is no benefit in dealing with you. She just doesn't want the Nie family to marry Prince Yi. A girl's marriage is very important. You should be more careful. Don't let your things in the boudoir flow outside. Bring more people with you when you go out. Don't be alone. Where is your maid? If your maid was here today, it wouldn't be so easy for her to harm you."
Nie Xirui lowered her head in shame, "I thought she was too nagging, so I didn't let her follow me. I won't dare to do that again."
"Oh! I don't want to get married! My mother said she wants to keep me for a few more years. She thinks I'm too stupid. It's not good to get married too early. She will eat me up without leaving any bones. Anyway, my father is a good official, so I won't have trouble getting married. I'd better enjoy a few more years of peace and quiet at home. My mother is very strict and won't let my things get out."
"If I remember correctly, Prince Yi has a grudge against the Fifth Prince. Although Concubine Shu is my cousin, it was the Fifth Prince who harmed Prince Yi. It was the Fifth Prince's fault, so Prince Yi would never marry me. Who would marry the girl of his enemy?"
Ji Yun laughed and said, "You are on the side of justice, not relatives. But what happened back then was not the Fifth Prince's fault. In fact, the Fifth Prince and Prince Yi were both victims. Minister Nie must have found some clues, but he just didn't have the chance to reveal it."
"But some people can't sit still anymore. As long as the enemy takes action, there will be loopholes. One day, the truth will be revealed to the world."
Nie Xirui listened very carefully, but her eyes were clear and stupid, and she didn't understand at all.
Ji Yunhuan was amused by her silly and cute expression, and couldn't help pinching her chubby face, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. As long as Xiaorui is happy, her parents are still alive and the family is reunited. This is the blessing in the world."
Ji Yunhuan flew up, quickly took down the kite hanging on the tree, and stuffed it into Nie Xirui's arms.
"Okay, let's go play!"
Nie Xirui cheered and ran to find her sisters with the kite in her arms. The group of sisters seemed to have endless things to say. They stole a glance at Ji Yunhuan from time to time, and some even blushed.
