Chapter 272 Ouyang Boshan: I feel wronged! I feel helpless! Who will speak for me?
Hongwenguan.
Ouyang Boshan was trapped in a corner by two secret guards. He squatted on the ground and hugged himself, his gray beard sticking up unevenly, like an old goat with its hair standing on end!
He was about to open his mouth to defend himself when the secret guard stuffed a handkerchief into his mouth: "Behave yourself! You dare to bully my princess? Wait for your punishment!"
Five steps away, little Tangbao sat on the armchair with the soles of his feet touching, sobbing and wiping his tears while opening his mouth to accept food from several secret guards.
"Princess, please stop crying..." The secret guard knelt on one knee on the ground, holding the candied fruit box and whispered softly, "You will be uncomfortable if you choke later..."
The little fellow nodded obediently, chewing and sobbing, his cheeks puffed up like a hamster.
Not long after...
Suddenly everyone heard a chaotic sound of footsteps coming from outside.
Looking through the window, I saw the dark mass of imperial guards pouring into the courtyard like a tide, led by the furious Emperor Liang, followed by a group of breathless ministers.
"Where's Tangbao?"
"Where is the princess I personally appointed?!"
"What do the guards at Hongwenguan do for a living?!"
"..." Upon learning that the emperor had arrived, Ouyang Boshan felt like he had seen a savior. He struggled to get up, but the secret guards held him down even tighter.
Soon, the study door was kicked open with a bang.
Emperor Liang finally felt relieved when he saw that Xiao Tangbao was not in danger.
He was about to step forward when the old queen behind him unexpectedly pushed him aside, "Don't be afraid, Tangbao! If you have any grievances, I will take care of it for you!"
"Great-grandmother!" Little Tangbao immediately jumped off the chair and threw himself into the old queen's arms, crying loudly.
"My dearest child, are you scared? Look at your little face, it's all red from crying..."
As she spoke, the old queen touched the little face of her precious great-grandson with heartache.
Seeing the little guy's eyes were red and swollen like two walnuts, she glared at Ouyang Boshan fiercely: "You old thing! You are so grown up, and you still scare children?"
Ouyang Boshan pulled the handkerchief out of his mouth, speechless: "Empress Dowager, it's the princess..."
"Report!" The Imperial Guards interrupted Ouyang Boshan and rushed to the door, kneeling on one knee. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Qing and his men from the Military Affairs Department have surrounded the Hongwen Hall!"
Before he finished speaking, the sound of armor clashing could be heard outside.
Before anyone could react, Prince Qing Yun Che had already strode in.
He was dressed in a black python robe, the sword at his waist had not yet been sheathed, and his handsome, almost demonic face was full of murderous intent.
"Daddy!" Tang Bao's eyes lit up and he opened his little hands and was about to pounce on him.
Seeing that his precious daughter was fine, Yun Che threw the weapon in his hand to the others, pressed his knees and breathed a sigh of relief.
He was also anxious and confused. Not to mention that with Tang Bao's ability, Ouyang Boshan couldn't deal with her at all...
No matter how stupid Ouyang Boshan is, he would not attack Tang Bao in Hongwenguan!
Emperor Liang glanced around, then walked over to Tang Bao and squatted down. With a flattering tone, he asked gently, "Good boy, tell your uncle what's going on."
Little Tangbao stared at Emperor Liang, his lips pouting, and he felt so wronged that he was about to cry...
How could a child be this cute!? This truly made the dog emperor feel heartbroken!
"Master Ouyang said that Tang Bao's absence from the exam will result in a zero score, and combined with truancy, he will be punished for multiple offenses. During the holiday, Tang Bao will be punished to copy...copy the Thousand Character Classic forty times!"
The little fellow tremblingly stretched out four fingers, then suddenly looked up, overcome with grief...
“Wow—!!”
"Later, in order to express his gratitude to Master Ouyang for letting him take the make-up exam, and also to get more points from Master Ouyang, Tang Bao wanted to trim his beard..."
"Who knew that Pavilion Master Ouyang would move around so recklessly... and then, Tang Bao accidentally cut off all his beard..."
The little guy blinked his tearful eyes and cried several times.
"Master Ouyang is really angry...Tang Bao, go and notify Daddy now, immediately, right now, or you won't be able to leave the academy!"
"Wow... Tang Bao really didn't mean to damage Master Ouyang's beard!"
oh? ?
The officials present were prying open windows and doors, all looking at Ouyang Boshan's messy beard... I don't know who burst out laughing first, and then everyone was shaking with laughter.
Ouyang Boshan's old face flushed red, and he lowered his head quickly, "Your Majesty, please understand! I only asked Princess Zhaoning to find..."
"Shut up!" Zhilan and Zhimei rushed forward, glaring at Ouyang Boshan as if they had discussed it beforehand, and said in unison: "You locked the little princess in the room and covered her mouth. You are committing a crime of great disrespect!"
“…” Yun Che’s eyes turned cold, and he turned his head and looked towards the corner.
Ouyang Boshan shuddered at his gaze and almost knelt down: "Your Majesty, please understand! I am just..."
"Your Majesty! Empress Dowager! Please allow me to take the princess's pulse!" The old judge took two steps forward, bowed hastily to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, then hurriedly lifted up Xiao Tangbao's arm to check her wrist.
"No wonder the princess is so worried and goes to such great lengths to please a humble official!"
The old judge was furious, his eyes blazing with anger...
"I have long said that the pain and cramps in the princess's wrists are all caused by overstrain and stagnant Qi and blood."
"Forty times of the Thousand Character Classic!? Lord Ouyang, do you want to cripple Her Highness's hand?!"
"(皿)...??!!" Ouyang Boshan's eyes widened, and he fell to his knees with a thud. "Weiwei, I didn't know the princess was injured! How dare I!"
Lu Jinchuan's grandfather, Left Censor-in-Chief Lu Jizhong, stood on tiptoe to glance at the table, then moved over to pick up Xiao Tangbao's test paper.
Looking at the crooked handwriting that looked like ghostly characters, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he walked straight to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, the princess's handwriting is clearly crooked and weak... The injury to her wrist cannot be ignored!"
Cheng Daoquan, the usually taciturn Minister of Justice, also joined in, saying, "It's not hard to tell from the handwriting...it must be a wrist injury from copying day and night, preventing the princess from exerting her full strength when writing!"
"Ah!" The General of the Cavalry rubbed his nose and shouted loudly: "This is not like our martial arts training. Master Ouyang's punishment method will cripple the little princess's hand after a long time!?"
"Yeah yeah......"
As soon as the three ministers finished speaking, there was an uproar all around.
After hearing what everyone said, Xiao Tangbao buried his face in the old queen's arms, and immediately felt even more aggrieved!
"......" Ouyang Boshan raised his head suddenly, his pupils trembled, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
