Looking at the river lanterns sinking into the river, Yuan Yao was heartbroken.
Why? !
Can't you just let her make a wish once?!
That's going too far!
I want to cry...
I want to bury my face in my beautiful father's arms and cry...
Yuan Yao glared angrily at the boy on the riverbank.
Ye Changyou played with the pebble, then smiled at Yuan Yao with a slanted lip.
That laugh was full of provocation.
Yuan Yao: "?"
Are you sick?
Where did this brat come from?
Calling him a brat is giving him too much credit!
At such a young age, your hands are so mischievous. Have you never experienced the harsh realities of life?
Yuan Yao shook her cloak and pointed at Ye Changyou: "You, get down here!"
Tonight, she will punish evil and promote good!
Ye Changyou dropped the stone in his hand, put on a black cloak, and slowly walked to the riverbank.
He walked the road with an air of arrogance, as if no one else was there.
This looks extremely annoying.
naughty kid!
Hmph!
Yuan Yao looked up angrily and said, "Apologize!"
The brat raised his thick eyebrows and uttered a truly irritating remark: "Apologize? What's that?"
Yuan Yao: "?"
Can she apply to use profanity?
The people who were releasing lanterns around the area all angrily began to criticize—
"Whose young master is this, behaving like this? How dare he leave the house like this? He has absolutely no manners!"
"The lantern went out and sank into the river; that's extremely unlucky! This young master is so annoying!"
"We really reported him to the authorities and had him arrested!"
"..."
Yuan Yao looked at the brat: "Do you dare to give me your name?"
The brat put one hand behind his back and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "You are not worthy to know my name."
Yuan Yao: "?"
she?
Unworthy?
That brat's tone was extremely arrogant.
Yuan Yao hadn't seen such an arrogant person in a long time!
The last person to act so arrogantly was the one who switched her with poisonous mushrooms and ended up poisoning himself to death.
The grass on that person's grave has already withered a whole patch...
Yuan Yao wasn't the only one who was angry.
The surrounding onlookers angrily said, "Who do you think you are, daring to cause trouble in the capital of the Great Qi Kingdom?"
Some people angrily picked up stones and threw them into the river.
"Smack!"
"Splash..."
Water splashed directly onto Ye Changyou's banner.
The burly man beside him glared fiercely: "Insolence!"
Yuan Yao glared at him: "You're the one who's being insolent!"
Your whole family is outrageous!
Although I don't know who threw the stone, it was a really good throw!
This is called "treating someone as they treat you"!
Well done!
Let's throw a few more!
At this moment, the Ninth Prince's eyes turned cold and deep as he slowly said, "Are the people of Dongye Kingdom really this unruly?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two burly men looked surprised.
One of them said, "Who are you? How do you know we are from Dongye?"
People from the Eastern Night Kingdom?
The onlookers looked indignant and were about to speak.
The Ninth Prince swept a glance over them, and under his intimidation, the people chose to shut up and did not reveal his identity.
He looked at Ye Changyou: "Just an ordinary citizen."
Ordinary people?
His dark, brooding eyes narrowed slightly.
Does he look that easy to fool?
Ye Changyou said, "An apology is impossible."
Yuan Yao: "?"
Ye Changyou's eyes shifted slightly, landing on Yuan Yao's face: "However, since I sank your river lantern, I can offer you an apology."
Is there really such a good thing?
Yuan Yao did not believe it.
She looked at Ye Changyou: "You destroyed not only my river lantern, but also others'."
If you are to pay compensation, you should also pay compensation for everyone else's.
I'll make you pay until you're bankrupt!
naughty kid!
Ye Changyou gave a sinister smile: "Pay up, of course I'll pay up."
After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Yuan Yao.
My wrist was gripped tightly.
Yuan Yao was greatly alarmed.
The mischievous child grabbed her, trying to jump into the river.
Should we take her to drown her?
In front of her father?
Are you crazy?!
In the chaos, Yuan Yao grabbed the Ninth Prince's sleeve, raised her foot, and kicked him wildly.
"Splash..."
Water splashed everywhere, and Ye Changyou was kicked into the icy river.
He opened his arms and waved them frantically.
The Ninth Prince squinted, picked up Yuan Yao, and quickly moved away from the river.
Only a few drops of water splashed onto his banner.
The Ninth Prince's expression was cold and stern as he coldly said, "You've chosen your own death!"
The onlookers were all stunned.
What did they just see?
That troublesome young master actually tried to drag Princess Yuan Yao into the river?
Are you crazy?!
That's absolutely outrageous!
"Young Master!"
The two burly men jumped into the water at the same time.
The onlookers were all exclaiming in surprise.
The river water in early spring is icy cold; a short soak will freeze you solid.
The Liu River is not shallow.
Even in the water-scarce spring, it remains two to three meters deep...
As soon as Ye Changyou entered the water, his face turned purple from the cold and his limbs became stiff.
He glanced vaguely at the shore.
On the shore, the ninth prince of the Great Qi Kingdom, dressed in magnificent clothes, looked like a celestial being.
The little baby in his arms had wide-open eyes on its fair face, like a startled fawn, staring at him in the water.
Ye Chang thought regretfully: It's so hard to die...
Wouldn't it be better to let him die?
Two burly men moved swiftly.
Soon, Ye Changyou was rescued and brought to the shore.
He had been frozen for a long time and couldn't even open his eyes.
Two burly men, soaking wet, knelt on the ground—
"Young master, hold on!"
"Young master, why are you so distraught?"
"Are you cold? I'll take you to see a doctor right away..."
As he spoke, the burly man looked at the Ninth Prince and said, "I know you are the Ninth Prince of the Great Qi Kingdom."
"My young master is of noble birth. If anything happens to him in Daqi, Daqi will surely be plunged into war!"
Hearing this, Yuan Yao was slightly surprised.
Do these three people know her and her father's identities?
If that's the case, why drag her into the river with you?
At this moment, the Ninth Prince coldly said, "Guards!"
A dozen or so imperial guards emerged from the crowd.
The leader was Li Chang.
Li Chang, dressed in a sky-blue casual robe, bowed to the Ninth Prince and said, "Your Highness."
The Ninth Prince coldly said, "Take these three down and send them to the Ministry of Justice prison!"
"yes!"
Li Chang waved his hand, and the Imperial Guards rushed forward and pinned down the three men: "Behave yourselves, don't move!"
The three men, including Dong Ye, were all tied up and taken away.
Just before they were taken away, one of the burly men trembled, seemingly wanting to say something but unable to.
The Ninth Prince looked at him coldly.
The burly man's expression hardened, and he finally chose to shut up.
The troublemakers were taken away, and only then did the onlookers angrily say—
"Locking him up in jail is too lenient!"
"Of course! If my child did that, I would definitely break his legs!"
"A perfectly good holiday, ruined by that brat!"
"..."
Those who hadn't left after releasing the river lanterns were furious.
Li Chang cupped his hands in greeting: "Your Majesty, Princess, were you frightened?"
Yuan Yao smiled sweetly: "Thank you for your concern, Guard Li, I'm fine."
She knew that with the Ninth Prince by her side, she would not get hurt no matter what.
Having a powerful father is really great!
She's such a lucky little dumpling!
Li Chang smiled, looked at the Ninth Prince, and asked, "Your Highness, what about that young master..."
The Ninth Prince coldly said, "The young emperor of the Eastern Night Kingdom, the night is long and dark."
Li Chang's smile froze on his face.
