Within this imperial city, how many people would dare to call themselves "this king"?
Combined with this person's extraordinary appearance and attire, it is not difficult to judge that the person who came was none other than Feng Beichuan, the famous regent of Shengnan!
Li Chang'an's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, sharp as swords—what a small world!
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. The onlookers felt they should avoid suspicion, but they couldn't suppress their curiosity and wanted to see how the matter would be resolved.
After a moment of hesitation, everyone backed down, deciding to stay away so they could watch the show without getting involved.
After all, ordinary people couldn't afford to offend those who involved themselves with royalty and nobility.
"It's you again?"
His tone was full of annoyance, and Li Chang'an couldn't help but roll his eyes. He even suspected that this person was following him.
"No, no, this is called destiny ordained by Heaven."
Feng Beichuan had an inscrutable expression on his face. As he spoke, he magically pulled out a folding fan from his sleeve.
Caiyun, who was standing to the side, was a little confused by the situation. She thought that Li Chang'an's reinforcements had arrived. But when she looked at Feng Beichuan's extraordinary demeanor, she couldn't help but feel dissatisfied. She wondered how this vulgar woman knew this young master.
"Hey, don't think you can get away with this just because you called for reinforcements. If you don't do as I say today, you'll be seeing the authorities!"
Caiyun stepped forward, pointed at Li Chang'an, and shouted.
What a reckless fool!
Feng Beichuan felt his eardrums throb from the sharp voice, and with just one glance, he could tell that this arrogant person was nothing more than a maid.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes. How many lives did this person have to dare to speak to Chang An like that?
Who do you think you are?
Feng Beichuan slowly closed his folding fan and looked down at Caiyun.
This short sentence carried a tremendous amount of intimidation. Hearing it, Caiyun suddenly felt a sense of unease, a vague premonition of something bad—she seemed to have offended some incredibly powerful figure.
And that was indeed the case. What's worse, when Feng Beichuan called himself "this king," Caiyun hadn't paid any attention and naturally didn't know the identity of the man in front of her.
"Your Highness, please calm down. It was my maid who was being unreasonable!"
Seeing that things were going badly, Bai Ruohan quickly stepped forward to apologize. He never expected that his momentary lapse in concentration would cause this girl such a big trouble!
Bai Ruohan stood in front of Caiyun, curtsying respectfully. Without Feng Beichuan's response, she dared not rise easily. Her respectful demeanor was completely different from before.
Seeing her young mistress begging for mercy, Caiyun was terrified and quickly knelt down as well. She never expected that the young master in front of her was actually a prince!
She couldn't help but steal a glance at Li Chang'an beside her. Who was this woman?
"You have offended Princess Yong'an, so my words don't count."
Feng Beichuan spoke slowly, deliberately emphasizing Li Chang'an's identity and speaking the words "Princess Yong'an" with great solemnity. Cai Yunyun's face immediately turned pale. She never dreamed that this poor woman was actually the current Princess Yong'an.
Those who were watching the spectacle from afar were also terrified. Princess Yong'an was their female general of the Southern Kingdom, the protector of the people!
"It was this servant's fault for being blind and disrespectful to Your Highness. Please forgive me!"
Caiyun immediately crawled to Li Chang'an on all fours and kept kowtowing. Her body was still trembling from excessive fear. Bai Ruohan behind her also turned ashen-faced.
If she had known it would turn out this way, she would never have deliberately made things difficult for Li Chang'an back then.
At this moment, Li Chang'an, who had the final say on the matter, felt both amused and exasperated—Feng Beichuan had so ostentatiously revealed his identity; he really didn't know whether he was trying to help him out of a predicament or just creating more trouble for him.
Actually, he didn't need to come over at all; he could have handled this matter perfectly well on his own.
So this guy is just here to cause trouble for himself!
Li Chang'an silently drew a conclusion in his mind. When he looked at Caiyun again, he found that her forehead was already broken and blood was flowing down her forehead, which looked terrible.
"Alright, stop banging your head."
Li Chang'an spoke coldly, feeling very uncomfortable. Why did it make him seem like the villain?
But Caiyun continued to kowtow as if she hadn't heard, leaving behind a trail of blood on the ground, and even the air seemed to smell of blood.
"I told you to stop taking it and get up!"
Li Chang'an frowned, his tone extremely impatient, "Both of you get up!"
"His Highness has told you two to get up, so hurry up and do as he says."
Feng Beichuan chimed in as if he were watching a play.
Caiyun stopped kowtowing, looked up timidly at Li Chang'an, whose face was full of displeasure, and Feng Beichuan beside her, and then, as if she had mustered up a lot of courage, shakily got up from the ground.
Bai Ruohan also stood up shakily, but whether it was because her legs were weak or because she was frightened, she stumbled and almost fell down again.
Caiyun quickly went over to help her young mistress up; the sight of the two of them evoked pity in everyone.
"Chang An, what do you plan to do with them?"
Feng Beichuan swayed leisurely, fanning himself with a fan, appearing nonchalant, but his words sent chills down one's spine.
Caiyun and Bai Ruohan's hearts jumped to their throats again after hearing those words.
Li Chang'an was speechless; this guy really loved making things worse!
“Your Highness, punish me if you wish. This has nothing to do with my young lady…”
Caiyun pleaded desperately, tears streaming down her face, while Bai Ruohan, who had been tightly supported by her, was like a withered flower swaying in the wind, nearly fainting.
Unexpectedly, this girl, though arrogant and foolish, is indeed a loyal and devoted servant.
Li Chang'an couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Seeing that it was getting late, she didn't have time to waste on unnecessary things, so she said indifferently, "You can leave now!"
Clearly not expecting Li Chang'an to let her off so easily, Caiyun paused for a moment to make sure she hadn't misheard, then quickly bowed to Li Chang'an to thank her for her forgiveness.
Seeing that Li Chang'an did not pursue the matter, Feng Beichuan felt displeased. He couldn't understand why the princess could be so magnanimous to others, but so ruthless to him.
Could it be that his charm is less than that of a servant girl?
Li Chang'an, not wanting to get involved in the trouble any longer, picked up the bag of pastries from the ground, mounted his horse, and rode away.
"Your Highness, why did you leave by yourself?"
Now it was Feng Beichuan's turn to be dumbfounded. He hadn't even exchanged a few words with him yet, so why had he just left him here?
What a disappointment.
Feng Beichuan couldn't help but vent his dissatisfaction in his heart. He had come to help out of the predicament, after all, but this woman didn't show any appreciation at all. It was really heartbreaking for him!
