A group of people were pinning their hopes on the Grand Princess.
Princess Nankang did not grant their wish; instead, she lifted her skirt and hurriedly chased after Xilang.
Yue rushed over and grabbed her skirt.
The eldest princess, her own grandmother, fell to the ground with a thud.
Huan Yue looked at his father-in-law and thought he was truly unfilial.
Yue Nan was furious! Even a fall like that wasn't as bad as hers. What about those who slapped her?
The Grand Princess was getting old and missed Xi Lang terribly: "Give me back Xi Lang, I can't live anymore!"
Huan Yue said coldly, "Your crying, tantrums, and threats won't work. Don't bring anything important to the East Palace in the future. I won't be responsible if you get hurt."
The Grand Princess was probably really useless, so she could only quickly get up.
The man hugged her leg. Was his grandmother abandoning her for the sake of her husband? Wouldn't she even look at her like this?
The Grand Princess dismissively told her granddaughter, "The Crown Prince's Palace will take responsibility for you."
Huan Yue agreed: "I'll chop off both my legs and support you for the rest of your life. As long as I have a bite to eat, you won't starve."
Di Baose sneered: "Disrespecting the Empress, it's a miracle you weren't killed."
The Grand Princess was really anxious to save Xi Lang.
Xie Yu will definitely beat him to death.
The Grand Princess was busy running around.
Yin chased after her to help her up.
Huan Yue went over and grabbed Yin's arm.
Yin watched as the Grand Princess of Nankang ran away, but she didn't dare to move, as if Pei Huanyue could break her arm at any moment.
Yin was not easily frightened. Although she was already covered in cold sweat, she had to hold on and turned to look at Pei Huanyue.
Huan Yue smiled: "Tell me, what would happen if I failed?"
Sweating profusely, Yin Shi was drenched in sweat. If she had truly made a mistake, as long as the Emperor protected her, she probably wouldn't die.
Yin would never risk her own life.
Huan Yue released his hand.
Lady Yin felt her arm was numb and didn't feel like her own. Then she heard Pei Huan Yue say, "It's rare for you to be a guest at the Eastern Palace. Why don't you take a good look around?"
Yin Shi didn't even need to look at anything; she knew Pei Huan Yue was just trying to extort her!
Today, the entire Wu royal family will be punished.
Huan Yue's expression changed quickly, as if they were already family: "Ever since I hit my head and recuperated in Qing'e Palace, I've been lonely every single day. I'm overjoyed that you came to see me. Princess Huayang promised to bring Yan Boxuan to play, but she just lied to me."
Yin's expression kept changing.
Huan Yue raised his hand to support his head.
The clever palace maid immediately came to support the lady, saying, "Be careful."
Huan Yue, suffering from a headache and illness, sighed, appearing even more desolate: "I still have too few children, and Cheng Junyi doesn't like me. I know everyone looks down on me."
I feel like crying.
Waaah, now it's Yin who should be crying!
The Pei Huanyue of the past was definitely not like this now.
Although I've heard that she fought against the central palace, I don't know how powerful she is until I come here in person.
Even with the Grand Princess of Nankang leading the charge, they still suffered a crushing defeat.
Yin Shi was quick to forgive and forget. She wiped her face and apologized to Pei Huan Yue very earnestly: "It was my fault. I beg the Crown Princess to be lenient. Although I was confused in my haste, I never had any improper thoughts."
Supported by his maid, Huan Yue grew increasingly weak, yet he maintained the facade of a Crown Princess: "As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier. Regardless of what King Wu thinks, it's all for the sake of the Great Zhao empire and the people, which I personally don't think is wrong. The key is how it's done. As long as it benefits the people, I encourage it. Because with the people watching, and someone who can be replaced at any time, those in power will be more diligent, and the Great Zhao will become more prosperous and wealthy."
Ms. Yin, I have a phrase I'm not sure if I should say.
Huan Yue ignored what she thought and continued, "Actually, the King of Wu doesn't need to be so careful. The sage has the world in his heart and is not intolerant of others."
Yin regretted it!
Why did she act impulsively?
This gave Pei Huanyue a handle to use against him, and he did something really awful.
In fact, the Wu King's lineage should be very cautious; heaven knows why she acted impulsively.
Seeing Pei Huanyue on the verge of death, Madam Yin wanted to cry.
She's only sixteen! How can she be so cunning?
A group of people were kneeling there being beaten, while others were standing there waiting, all of them extremely anxious.
The Crown Prince's wife will not escape either; they will be punished.
The palace maids helped the lady sit down.
Xiuyun brought the medicine herself.
Yin looked at it and saw that it was indeed medicine.
Huan Yue drank it without changing his expression and chatted with Yin Shi: "Please sit down, sister-in-law. There's medicine here, which means there's still hope."
The eunuchs moved a stool and placed it under the ginkgo tree.
The Yin family had no choice but to sit down, and they had no idea what had happened to the previous dynasty.
Logically, a sage should come and there should be a result.
Di Baose stood to one side, thinking, "Isn't there something important to discuss at the morning court? And this isn't a small matter. Now that we've bumped into each other, I wonder who'll be more unlucky?"
Huan Yue looked a little better and chatted with Yin Shi: "Sister-in-law, you don't know, ordinary people don't even have enough to eat, how can they afford medicine? They can't afford to see a doctor, and when they get sick they just have to tough it out. If they survive, they live; if they don't, they die. Birth, old age, sickness, and death are all predetermined."
Yin said dryly, "Your Majesty is so young and blessed, you should live to be a thousand years old."
Huan Yue said, "I don't ask to live a thousand years, I only ask to die a quick death someday. Illness is really too torturous."
He closed his eyes, his face contorted in agony.
She can act with her eyes closed; she's a professional at portraying illness.
Yin gritted her teeth. That damned bastard!
She feared that the Wu King's lineage would meet a terrible end!
She was afraid that the King of Wu was beyond saving!
This woman is so vicious! She actually took a fancy to this woman. Even Xie Zhou wasn't as vicious as her.
In the future, it's better to provoke Xie Zhou than to provoke this poisonous woman!
Ms. Yin was calculating how much compensation she would have to pay. Ordinary things probably wouldn't be enough to satisfy her appetite.
Yin Shi had a vague feeling that Pei Huan Yue's constant mention of the people of the world, his attempt to force the King of Wu to make concessions, was far too ambitious! Wasn't he afraid that the King of Wu would kill her? Yin Shi felt that she was doomed.
Finally, a palace attendant arrived.
Yin and the others were excited, feeling that as long as they escaped the Eastern Palace, anything was fine.
Huan Yue felt quite comfortable enjoying the spring breeze.
The eunuch glanced at her; the Empress had handled the situation very well. He reported, "The Dong family of Shou'an County is plotting to recruit young men to impersonate young girls. His Majesty has ordered the Ministry of Justice to conduct a thorough investigation. Gong Zhi was sold by his stepmother, but he has now been rescued."
Gong Fengyi excitedly came over and kowtowed. She wasn't qualified to kowtow to the Emperor, but this expression of gratitude was enough.
The eunuch stepped aside and reported to the Empress: "The case of Xi Lang, the Grand Princess of Nankang, is related to this matter. It is said that he has taught those teenagers more than a hundred people, and we must investigate their whereabouts."
Huan Yue nodded: "This matter is of great importance, and the woman is the most innocent."
The eunuch replied, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty." He added, "His Majesty has decreed that, except for the Crown Princess of Wu, all others shall be flogged fifty times. Each family is to come and collect their punishment."
Huan Yue simply ignored it.
Yin wanted to die. This was no mercy towards her.
Besides, she and the Grand Princess of Nankang set this precedent, and since the Grand Princess wasn't around, it fell on her shoulders. If she brought this person here but couldn't take her back properly, who would play with her in the future?
What's even more infuriating is, what were they here for today?
Aren't we going to the central palace?
He perished in the Eastern Palace.
The Grand Princess, accompanied by her entourage, wanted to see the Empress, but there were other matters to discuss.
It's all over.
