"Thunder and rain, all are the Emperor's grace. Your words are so rude, it seems the Duke's mansion is dissatisfied with the Emperor's decree. May I, the Prince, convey this to the Emperor?" Shang Xiye's words were amplified far by his internal force.
Linwu is not very big.
More than half of the people disembarked midway. Shang Xiye loudly rebuked Chen Ziying, using a bit of his inner energy to amplify his voice, making it audible to almost everyone on the street.
Upon hearing the Ninth Prince's words, Chen Shiyu, the eldest son of the Duke of Chen, was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back.
Openly criticizing the Emperor's favor is a grave crime. If the Emperor investigates, the entire household will be unable to cover it up!
He knew his younger sister's bad temper; she was always unruly and domineering, but she only ever bullied the weak and was always humble towards people of high status in the palace and the court.
The Ninth Prince is the God of War of the Great Zhao Dynasty, and to them, he is a fearsome figure whom the Great Zhao Dynasty cannot easily provoke. How did she end up going up against the Ninth Prince?
When Chen Shiyu noticed that the friends of the officials who were with him were looking at him differently, he quickly rushed towards the direction from which the sound came. Just as he was about to forcefully push through the crowd, he heard Chen Ziying inside cry and scream.
"What good will it do to say it? Isn't she a bandit? Does the Ninth Prince think it's an honor to marry a bandit as his principal wife? I despise her, and nobody in the capital respects her either. She's just lowly..."
"Slap!" Before Chen Ziying could finish speaking, Xi Que, who had been prompted by Shang Xiye, angrily rushed up and slapped her.
"Ah—! You dare hit me!" Chen Ziying covered her swollen cheek, shocked, ashamed, and angry, and screamed hysterically, "You wretched servant, how dare you hit me! You're dead!"
"Slap! Slap!"
Upon hearing this, Xique became even angrier and slapped her twice more hard across the face. Holding up the dragon pendant that Ji Fengyao had given her, she said, "I'll hit you if I want to, so what? Do I have to pick a day? I'm a lowly servant, and my mistress is a bandit, but unfortunately, the Emperor and my husband like her. This is the Emperor's personal dragon pendant. Seeing the dragon pendant is like seeing the Emperor himself. You're so noble, do you even have one?"
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
As she spoke, Xique slapped Chen Ziying several more times, angrily saying, "Do you know what it means that the Emperor bestowed the dragon pendant upon our young lady? It's to prevent you self-righteous dogs from bullying our young lady. You lowly servant in your eyes, it's pointless to hit you today. If you have the guts, smash the dragon pendant and go complain to your parents and the Empress!"
Chen Ziying was beaten so badly that she curled up on the ground like a dog, blood flowing from her mouth and nose, crying loudly, but still defiant.
Zhang Wanyun was so frightened that she shrank back to the side, not daring to even breathe.
Seeing the pointing and whispering of the onlookers and the strange looks they were giving her and Ji Fengyao, Xi Que was still not satisfied. Just as she was about to kick Chen Ziying a couple more times, Chen Shiyu had already pushed through the crowd and entered.
"stop!"
Chen Shiyu roared and flew to block Chen Ziying's path. Seeing the dragon pendant held high in Xique's hand, he didn't dare to fight back.
"Xi Que, come back." Ji Fengyao glanced at Chen Shiyu, whose eyes were gloomy, and knew that this person was probably the same gender as the Empress and was not someone to be trifled with. She was afraid that Xi Que would suffer a loss in secret.
The magpie reluctantly withdrew its foot, glared fiercely at the disheveled Chen Ziying on the ground, and returned to Ji Fengyao with the dragon pendant held high. It presented the pendant to Ji Fengyao with both hands and said loudly, "Miss, this is the dragon pendant bestowed upon you by the Emperor. Keep it safe. This thing is quite suitable for beating dogs. You must not lose it!"
