Tian Yu looked at the Seventh Prince approaching menacingly, followed by a group of people. Tian Yu was confused about what was going on. The Seventh Prince pointed at Tian Yu and said, "You're the one who bullied my royal sister!"
"Third Princess!? What does the Seventh Prince mean by this?" Tian Yu asked, puzzled.
"It's all because of you! I've heard about it all. Guards, arrest her!" After the Seventh Prince finished speaking, the servants behind him stepped forward to grab Tian Yu, completely ignoring her explanation.
"Stop! Xiao Qi, what are you doing!" Tang Yuan shouted as she ran over. Xuan Yu was already standing in front of Tian Yu, drawing his sword and staring at them.
"Brother Tangyuan, I'm sorry. I know she's your mother, but she bullied my sister. My sister is now under house arrest by Father. I want to avenge my sister. Today I will definitely take your mother away."
"What does your elder sister's house arrest have to do with my mother? She likes my uncle, and the Emperor found out. Your father doesn't approve, so this is what happened. If you want to find someone, you should go to your father."
"No way! They said it was because my mother stole my elder sister's husband that she fell ill, which displeased Father Emperor, so he put her under house arrest."
"Where did you hear that from?" Tian Yu asked.
"Everyone in the palace is saying the same thing, that you're the one who harmed my elder sister." The Seventh Prince glared at Tian Yu after saying this. Tian Yu was about to interject and explain when Tang Yuan stopped her.
“Your elder sister’s husband is my father. Tell me, who stole whom?” Tangyuan stood in front of Tian Yu and stared at the Seventh Prince.
The seventh prince, feeling somewhat guilty and confused, said, "Then what about my elder sister? Father will send her to a political marriage! Or, Brother Tangyuan, why don't you ask your father to marry my elder sister? That way we can be a family."
"My father married your imperial sister, so you're my uncle now, but I don't want that!"
“Yes! I’m your uncle now, isn’t that great?” Xiao Qi coaxed.
"What's so good about it! If I don't agree, what will happen to my mother?! If you still blame my mother, we'll break off all ties!"
"Brother Tangyuan, I... my elder sister is very ill, and I just want to help her vent her anger."
"It was my uncle who broke her heart, it was your father who imprisoned her, so why did you arrest my mother?"
"Your uncle!?"
"Yes! Your royal sister likes my uncle, but your father doesn't approve of them. You should go and find them."
"What?! How could this be? Wasn't it said that my imperial sister liked Marquis Zhao Moyan of Zhenbei? Are you sure?!"
"I already changed it, you idiot!"
"And what about your uncle?"
Tangyuan pointed in the direction of Li Xingyun's residence. Tianyu watched them argue like two adults for a long time and felt superfluous. Seeing the Seventh Prince leading his guards towards Li Xingyun's courtyard again, Tianyu wanted to stop him, but Tangyuan pulled her back and said, "Mother! You don't need to worry about it, it's alright."
What if he takes your uncle away?
"Don't worry, he won't."
"How do you know he won't?" Tian Yu recalled how the Seventh Prince had been so aggressive in trying to grab her; he must have been very angry.
"Because that's my uncle," Tangyuan said confidently.
Tian Yu had always been puzzled. The legendary Seventh Prince was a troublemaker, but she always thought it was a misconception because the Seventh Prince had been quite polite to her since the day they met. Although he occasionally made things difficult for her, he always stopped. Now she thought it must be because of Tangyuan. It's true that one thing can subdue another!
"How do you know all this?" Tian Yu wondered where Tang Yuan had heard about it from.
"It's a secret!" Tangyuan said with a slight smile to Tianyu.
"Huh!? You have secrets now!?" Tian Yu looked at Xuan Yu, who shrugged and left with Tang Yuan, leaving Tian Yu looking angrily at the two maids beside her, saying, "Children grow up and become independent!"
"Madam, don't worry. The young master said everything will be alright, so please rest assured!"
"Never mind, let him be." Tian Yu said, clapping her hands and going back to her room.
Meanwhile, Li Xingyun's door had been forcibly opened, and Xiao Wu couldn't stop him. Seeing the Seventh Prince storm in, Li Xingyun didn't even look up and continued reading. The Seventh Prince was even angrier when he saw this and shouted, "You don't even bow when you see me, the prince!"
"I have come uninvited. What brings you here, Seventh Prince?"
"What is it?! Is it because of you that my elder sister has lost her appetite and is now so ill?"
"I do not know!"
"You don't know, my imperial sister is in this state, and you don't know?!"
“The Third Princess’s illness was not caused by me, nor do I have the ability to treat it. Seventh Prince, please leave!” Li Xingyun said, putting down the book in his hand.
"You! You!? Does my elder sister have feelings for you?"
"Yes! But I have already politely declined."
"You politely declined! You rejected my imperial sister!?" Xiao Qi stared at Li Xingyun with wide eyes in disbelief.
"yes!"
"Why? My elder sister is no good, yet you don't like her!?"
"Anywhere is fine! I am not worthy of it."
“I also think you are not worthy, but my elder sister has been placed under house arrest by the Emperor because of your illness, so today I am going to arrest you.”
"Arrest me?!"
"Yes! Someone, take him away from me."
"Wait, why are you arresting me?"
"You have caused my elder sister grief; you are a sinner. Take her away!"
"Xiao Qi, he's my uncle, are you going to arrest him too?" Tang Yuan rushed over again and grabbed him.
"Brother Tangyuan, please don't stop me anymore. I have to arrest him today."
"You can take the person with you, but then what?"
"Kill him, avenge my elder sister."
"Your elder sister will be heartbroken, and she might even commit suicide for love," Tangyuan said calmly.
Li Xingyun looked at the two of them strangely, unsure if they were talking to two children!
"Then give him fifty lashes first, then lock him up."
"That would have nearly killed your elder sister too."
"What can we do? My elder sister is dying." The Seventh Prince was so anxious that he was about to cry.
"Here's what we'll do: you release my uncle first. Doesn't your royal sister like my uncle? Go and beg your father to allow them to be together. That way, your royal sister will be fine."
“I disagree!” Li Xingyun said.
“Father will not agree,” Xiao Qi said.
"How do you know it won't work if you don't even try?" Tangyuan said.
The two of them didn't hear what Li Xingyun said at all, so Li Xingyun could only say, "Fine! I'll go with you."
"Uncle, what are you doing?" Tangyuan asked anxiously.
"Tangyuan, if the Seventh Prince wants to capture me to avenge his elder sister, then let him capture me. But it's impossible for me to be with the princess," Li Xingyun said.
"Why?" the two children asked at the same time.
“You’re too young to understand adult matters, Seventh Prince, let’s go!” Li Xingyun said.
"No! I'll change my mind. I won't catch you. I'll go and beg Father." Xiao Qi suddenly said.
After saying that, he led a group of people away on his own, leaving Li Xingyun completely bewildered. This child was so unpredictable and unreasonable.
A servant came to report that the Seventh Prince had already left with his men, and Tian Yu was relieved. She planned to go to the kitchen to prepare some delicious food before going to see the princess.
