At first, Zhang You was in the mood to count in her mind how many times they hit her, but later the pain in her cheek became more and more intense, and she no longer had the heart to count. She just wanted this disaster to end quickly.
pain!
It hurts so much!
"Stop!" Qiao Si's voice suddenly sounded, and Zhang You felt that this voice had never been so pleasant.
The crowd quickly made way for Qiao Si and his men, who approached in a mighty procession. Seeing Xia He being forced to kneel on the ground and being beaten, she was enraged and looked at Li Xianyu with eyes filled with anger.
"What are you doing! Who told you to touch my maid?"
Qiao Si had lived in the capital for many years before, and he had some friendship with Li Xianyu, though their relationship was ordinary. Back then, Li Xianyu wasn't as tyrannical as he is now, but he would still beat or scold anyone he disapproved of. Qiao Si's reputation in Dingzhou was no less notorious.
Among the people watching the fun, some recognized the identities of the two people and started to watch the show.
Two women who are known for their spoiled and willful nature, a princess and a princess, finally bumped into each other today.
They had long wanted to see what kind of sparks would arise when the two of them met, and now they were in for a treat.
"Who am I thinking? Isn't this Princess Dingjia?" Li Xianyu was not afraid at all when he saw Qiao Si.
In fact, she and Qiao Si are the same kind of people, both domineering and self-indulgent.
So she didn't have much hostility towards her, but she didn't like her much either.
Chunhua Qiuyue quickly stepped forward, pushed away the people who were holding Xia He, and pulled her up.
Zhang You's face was already red and swollen, and it looked painful.
Although Qiao Si couldn't do anything to Li Xianyu, Li Xianyu couldn't do anything to her either, because the Qiao Palace was now in decline. The emperor had attacked the Qiao Palace many times, causing it to fall apart. If something happened to her again, the people of the world would no longer support her.
The reason the "dog emperor" could still sit in that position was, on the one hand, because he still had loyal ministers in the court, and on the other hand, although he condoned the concubines and princesses' harm, he also took their reputations into consideration. If the Qiao Prince's Mansion were truly destroyed, its former achievements would also provoke resistance from the ministers and the people in the court.
So Qiao Si was certain that even if she offended Li Xianyu, nothing would happen.
Qiao Si looked at Xia He's swollen face and asked directly in a cold voice, "Princess, what do you mean by this? My maid came here to take my things, why is she being beaten?"
The maidservant next to Li Xianyu immediately retorted, "She was the one who contradicted the princess first, so she deserves to be punished."
Seeing her bullying behavior, Qiao Si slapped her with such force that she fell to the ground. "I'm talking to your master, do you have the right to interrupt?"
The maid immediately looked up at Li Xianyu pitifully. She reached out and grabbed the hem of Li Xianyu's skirt, crying and wanting her to vent her anger.
However, she still didn't know Li Xianyu well enough.
She is not the kind of person who cares about the life or death of her maids. Whether they are hers or not, she can easily decide their life or death.
The maid thought she was smart and believed that Li Xianyu would not allow others to challenge her authority. In fact, she only cared about her bad taste.
So the maid who was lying on the ground and pulling at the hem of Li Xianyu's skirt did not see the disgust rising in Li Xianyu's eyes.
She hates other people touching her clothes with dirty hands!
She kicked her away, saying with disgust, "It's so dirty."
The personal maid behind her waved her hand, and someone immediately pulled her and took her out.
The people outside who were watching the excitement suddenly became quiet.
This is Li Xianyu's action of killing someone.
The maid who was just dragged out is probably another one who died tragically.
They were just watching the fun, but they were scared out of their wits.
"Okay, my maid has already apologized for this, what about yours?" Li Xianyu smiled sinisterly, as if waiting for Qiao Si to kill Xia He.
Zhang You's blood seemed to be stagnating, and even the pain on her cheek couldn't bring her back to her senses.
A single word from the superior could take her life.
This is the capital.
He eats people without leaving any bones behind and kills people without blinking an eye.
Qiao Si ignored her rage and said, "My people did nothing wrong. You said she contradicted you, but the wristband itself is mine. She got it for me, how can it be considered contradictory?"
Zhang You was deeply moved when he heard this.
Qiao Si...
The people watching the excitement around gasped after hearing what Qiao Si said.
This girl is so fierce!
How dare you speak to that female bully like that!
Li Xianyu didn't expect her to be like this. She thought that they also didn't care about the lives of the untouchables, and that the maid just now was just a test for her.
Unexpectedly, she was no different from these people in the capital, all of them had that ridiculous sympathy.
Li Xianyu sneered, her expression suddenly changing, "Qiao Xiting! Who gave you the guts to speak to me like that?"
Qiao Si was calm and unafraid. "Princess, you first robbed me of my things, and then you abused my maid to punish her. Princess, if you act like this, why should I speak to you kindly?"
Everyone gasped again.
This just came up!
Princess Xianyu sneered, mocking her arrogance, "Whatever I like belongs to me. Your Prince Qiao's Mansion is now deserted! How dare you disobey me?" She knew that Prince Qiao's Mansion had been attacked not long ago, and the princess and many of her descendants had been assassinated, so she deliberately used this incident to humiliate Qiao Si.
When Zhang You and the others heard her say "population ridicule", they clenched their fists in anger.
The onlookers also knew about the incident at Prince Qiao's Mansion. Now when they heard Li Xianyu insulting them with this matter, they were all furious.
Prince Qiao and his family have been guarding the border for many years. If Prince Qiao had not accepted the order and led his soldiers in a desperate battle, their capital would have changed hands long ago.
The Qiao Palace had guarded the border for many years, but was attacked by criminals one day and suffered heavy losses. This was not just his family's sorrow. As the people he protected, there was no reason for us to watch the Qiao Palace being insulted.
Compared to the arrogant and domineering Li Xianyu, they could not tolerate meritorious people becoming playthings of the powerful.
"Li Xianyu! My Qiao Palace is full of loyal and brave people. Even if we bring this to His Majesty, we will never tolerate you slandering my Qiao Palace like this!" Qiao Si said angrily.
The people watching the excitement around them stopped watching from the sidelines and started to join in the fun, "Prince Qiao lost his wife and children while defending the border. How can you mock him like this!"
"That's too much! Even a princess shouldn't slander a loyal minister like that!"
"Prince Qiao's Mansion sold their lives to them for so many years, and in the end they treated Prince Qiao's Mansion like this. It's really disheartening!"
Li Xianyu never expected that one day so many people would blame her. She looked at Qiao Si in front of her with complicated emotions in her eyes.
I really underestimated her.
It actually led so many people to blame her.
