After finally managing to persuade Bai Lu, Ji Fengyao picked up the act again and continued: "Guards, throw her back to me!"
And that old hag Zheng, she has the nerve to call herself a palace tutor. She's trained a princess to the point where she can even climb into bed!
She's such a good teacher!
I'll rip that old hag's tongue out and show her she still dares to spout nonsense!
"I'll break her arms and legs too, so she can stay home and retire peacefully, and stop pointing fingers and misleading others!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Hu Ji answered loudly and clearly.
Princess Zhaoping also breathed a sigh of relief:
The play is finally over!
If this continues, she'll lose her life!
Bai Lu's kicks just now were quite forceful. If it weren't for the fact that the bandit Ji Fengyao had mixed a paralyzing ingredient into the poison she received, which could alleviate her pain, she would probably have fainted from the pain by now.
soon.
Hu Ji then selected two clever guards and ordered them to carry Princess Zhaoping back and personally escort her to her home, as well as to handle the matters entrusted to him by the Princess Consort.
At the inn, Granny Zheng, Simeng, and Siyi had no masters to serve, so they all got up rather late.
After the three of them finished washing up at a leisurely pace, they ordered a large and sumptuous breakfast.
They were enjoying themselves immensely.
Suddenly, several exclamations came from outside the door, followed by heavy footsteps approaching quickly.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open from the outside, and the thick wooden door shattered into pieces as if it were made of paper, crashing into the room.
"Who goes there!"
"How dare you trespass into the princess's room!"
Simeng and Siyi had practiced martial arts and had rather volatile tempers, so they immediately slammed their fists on the table, stood up, and shouted angrily.
Hu Ji stood at the door, his burly figure appearing exceptionally tall in the morning sunlight streaming in from outside, exuding a strong aura of menace.
The morning light cast Hu Ji's long shadow directly into the room, enveloping Simeng, Siyi, and Granny Zheng.
This guy is amazing!
The murderous aura emanating from him is so strong!
Simeng, Siyi, and Granny Zheng involuntarily broke out in goosebumps, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts.
Hu Ji stepped into the room, his golden armor making the three of them dizzy.
He put on a pretentious, stern face, looked the three of them up and down, his gaze finally settling on Zheng Mama's rigid and mean old face: "It seems you are that famous tutor from the palace."
The words sound like nice things.
But his tone was extremely impolite.
Zheng Mama's heart skipped a beat, her intuition telling her that this was not a good thing. However, she was the oldest of the three, and she couldn't deny it even if she wanted to. She could only brace herself and try her best to maintain the demeanor of a headmistress, keeping her posture upright: "It is indeed this old woman. What brings you here so early, sir?"
"Bring Princess Zhaoping in," Hu Ji said, not even glancing at her directly, before turning to the two guards outside who were carrying Princess Zhaoping.
Two guards immediately carried in Princess Zhaoping, who was covered in blood and on the verge of death.
Simeng, Siyi, and Granny Zheng had already prepared themselves for this, so they weren't particularly surprised to see Princess Zhaoping in such a miserable state.
They even secretly rejoiced:
Those bandits were indeed not easy to deal with; it's a good thing they didn't insist on going with them!
Otherwise, they definitely won't get any credit!
I'm glad, though.
Princess Zhaoping was, after all, their mistress. It wouldn't be right not to ask about her injuries.
Granny Zheng adopted the imposing manner of an old palace nanny and stepped forward.
