If anyone tries to touch Yi Chenli's pants, An Yuan'er will beat them with a stick, beating them relentlessly.
"Who exactly is this brat?"
One of the thugs impatiently threw An Yuan'er to the ground.
"You dare to meddle in other people's business? Don't force us to beat women and children."
An Yuan'er got up, her hands trembling. She cried loudly as she picked up the stick and continued to hit herself.
"You are not allowed to touch him."
An Yuan'er was also hit many times, her delicate body was red and swollen. She was always beautiful and rarely looked so disheveled.
“My grandfather is the Grand Tutor, and Yi Chenli is a prince. You used torture on him. I will tell my grandfather to report you.”
The empress, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, finally waved her hand, signaling the crowd to stop.
She asked the maid beside her, "Is this little girl the fourth young lady of the An family that Qi'er has been talking about lately?"
The maid nodded and whispered in the Empress's ear, "The Grand Tutor has always been upright. If Miss An's injuries are too serious and he finds out, he might incite the censors and advisors to impeach Your Majesty, and things could get very difficult."
The fact that the empress used torture on the princes was something that could not be made public.
The Empress sneered, standing tall before An Yuan'er, and threatened, "Today, for the sake of your grandfather, I will not hold a grudge against an ignorant child like you. However, if you dare to ruin my plans again in the future, I will take your life and make your entire An family of over a hundred people pay with their lives."
The Empress meant that An Yuan'er was not allowed to reveal what happened today, otherwise it would not only implicate her, but the entire An family.
Finally, the Empress left Chenyang Palace with her entourage.
Once everyone had left, An Yuan'er could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
She remembered her previous life, when she had heard that the sixth prince had somehow offended the empress and was banished from the palace and sent to a remote place at a young age.
The most common rumor at the time was that someone had seen Yi Chenli's damaged leg, saying that his leg was white but like mud, showing no reaction at all.
Most people gossiped about it out of curiosity, and some even looked down on it. In his previous life, Yi Chenli gradually faded into obscurity amidst such rumors until he left the palace.
But in this life, An Yuan'er came back just in time.
This short distance felt like an insurmountable chasm between past and present lives, and tears blurred my vision.
An Yuan'er threw herself into Yi Chenli's arms, venting, "I was so scared! I was so scared just now! Yi Chenli, Yi Chenli..."
The girl was at a loss, but she didn't mind that he was dirty, and hugged him very tightly.
Yi Chenli couldn't imagine how such a delicate and timid girl had managed to muster the courage to run back and fight with so many boys.
This kind of girl will probably only get into a fight once in her life.
Because of him, she stayed by his side and endured a great deal of suffering.
Yi Chenli used the strength of his arms to prop himself up and returned to his wheelchair. He patted the girl's back and said, "Round and chubby, it's alright now, don't be afraid."
Both of them had rolled on the ground and were covered in dirt, but Yi Chenli led An Yuan'er into the palace.
An Yuan'er was still crying, and Yi Chenli listened quietly to her sobs.
"Yi Chenli, I'm in so much pain. But you're more seriously injured than me, are you in pain too?"
"I'm not in pain. I'll apply the medicine for you in a bit."
