"Jiang Chuwei! You're asking for it."
How dare they speak to the princess in such a tone!
Jiang Chuwei said, "Nightingale!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Subordinate?" An Yang asked suspiciously.
Could this maid be...?
Before Princess Anyang could react, Nightingale flashed and appeared in front of Jiang Hai.
The guards rushed forward.
Princess Anyang roared, "You're courting death! Kill her for me!"
The guards showed no mercy.
Although Princess Anyang was domineering, the guards dared not carry knives in the palace.
Nightingale fought seven or eight people all by herself with ease.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Jiang Chuwei immediately went to untie her third brother's ropes.
Princess Anyang was furious.
"Stop!" The person she wanted hadn't been rescued yet.
In the chaos of the fight, no one paid her any attention.
Nightingale moved nimbly, skillfully dodging the attacks, and struck with lightning speed, knocking the guards to the ground in just a few moves.
Jiang Chuwei quickly untied her third brother's ropes, the two exchanged a glance, and quickly helped her third brother up, intending to leave.
Princess Anyang was even more furious upon seeing this, and she ordered more guards to attack Nightingale.
However, the nightingale was not afraid at all. She transformed into a strongwoman, and one by one the guards fell at her feet. She was as light as a butterfly, yet she carried a deadly danger.
Just then, a guard saw Jiang Hai about to leave, and rushed forward, grabbing his neck with both hands.
Jiang Chuwei cried out in surprise, when a sharp shout rang out: "How dare you! Who is fighting here?"
Jiang Chuwei immediately shouted, "Help!"
At this moment, the Imperial Guards appeared.
Princess Anyang sensed something was wrong.
"Step back!" she commanded.
The guards immediately stopped, but dared not run away.
Princess Anyang glared at the Imperial Guards: "Are you all blind? Look who I am!"
Princess Anyang was furious.
Without the Imperial Guards, Jiang Hai won't be able to escape so easily.
"Princess! Who is so bold as to attack you? Seize them!" the leader immediately ordered.
Princess Anyang didn't want to make a scene: "Fine, I'm not injured, let them go!"
"Wait!" At this moment, Ye Jinhu, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, arrived.
Princess Anyang narrowed her eyes.
Lord Ye has come to snatch her away.
"Greetings, Princess Anyang." Ye Jinhu bowed to Princess Anyang.
"So it's Lord Ye." Princess Anyang said with a forced smile. "What, you're going to interfere when I arrest a few petty thieves who offended me?"
"This humble official would not dare," Ye Jinhu said with a smile. "But I was just looking for these people myself. Since we've happened to run into them, let's take them with us."
"Outrageous!" Princess Anyang roared, "You dare take away my people!"
"Princess, please calm down," Ye Jinhu said unhurriedly. "Someone reported that two groups of people were fighting in the palace. I was just following orders to investigate the case, and I hope that Your Highness will not make things difficult for me."
"Who would meddle in other people's business? I think you're just deliberately ruining my plans."
Princess Anyang was startled. If her people were taken to the Dali Temple, it would surely displease her father, the emperor, and she would inevitably be punished as well.
"Men, take them away!" Ye Jinhu waved his hand, and the Imperial Guards immediately stepped forward to surround Jiang Hai and the others.
"Wait! I will let this matter go, and you don't have to take the person with you." Princess Anyang softened her tone.
"This humble official dares not neglect his duty, please forgive me, Your Highness," Ye Jinhu said without yielding an inch.
His future son-in-law was almost defiled by that lecherous Princess Anyang.
Fortunately, his daughter was quick-witted and immediately said that there were assassins in the palace and sent people to find him.
Only then would he have a legitimate reason to arrest people.
Jiang Hai and the others were taken away by Ye Jinhu.
Ye Jinhu exchanged a glance with the junior leader of the Imperial Guard.
Princess Anyang did this more than once.
The Imperial Guards dared not interfere.
Today we have a legitimate reason to give her a hard time, and at least things will be a bit more peaceful for a while.
The junior leader was happy to do this favor.
Jiang Chuwei and Jiang Hai were released after leaving the palace.
The princess's guards were taken to the Dali Temple.
The nightingale then became a maid.
Who would believe that an unarmed maid could beat so many guards so badly?
Watching the three of them escape unscathed, the guards dared not utter a word.
Princess Anyang gritted her teeth as she watched their departing figures.
"Jiang Hai! You wait, this princess will not let you get away with this."
Princess Anyang had suffered such a great loss, how could she let it go?
However, when this matter reached the Emperor's ears, he was furious: "Nonsense!"
Why would the emperor's daughter want to hang herself on one tree?
Emperor Rongsheng never expected that his princess, relying on her status, would forcibly take many respectable men into her palace.
Jiang Hai was of the highest rank, yet the emperor still found out about this matter.
Princess Anyang was summoned by the emperor.
"Father, I know I was wrong." Princess Anyang knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
He looks so wronged.
Emperor Rongsheng was so angry that his beard trembled. "Do you know you're wrong? I think you don't! A princess of your stature has done such an absurd thing. Where do you place the dignity of the royal family!"
"Your subject simply likes him..." Princess Anyang explained softly.
Emperor Rongsheng slammed his fist on the dragon table. "Just because you like something doesn't mean you can do whatever you want! Look at what you've done! You've forcibly taken men from the countryside and forced innocent women into prostitution. Don't you have any shame at all?!"
Princess Anyang saw that her father was truly angry, so she kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Your subject knows she was wrong, please forgive me, Father."
