Chapter 480: Everyone Who Loved a Good Show Came
play the role of Ye Wenyan. She played it until now, with everything developing in a positive direction. She could even have sleepless nights talking with the Emperor and enjoy lavish breakfasts in th...That shout nearly revived the official wife. She instantly perked up and scrambled towards where Quan Qingyun was walking in the crowd, calling out like a ghost: "Third Prince, save me! Third Prince, save me!"
Quan Qingyun frowned and walked through the crowd, Mrs. Gongbu was about to rush to his feet, but Pingyang, her attendant, immediately stepped forward, kicked her back with a raised leg, and shouted, "What kind of monster are you"
People nodded in agreement. Indeed, the way Mrs. Gongbu looked was just like a monster. Many wives even covered their children's eyes so they wouldn't be frightened by her if they saw her too much and have nightmares at night.
Gongbu's wife was kicked directly by Pingyang, spitting blood. However, her will to survive and the pain of having her face stripped away prevented her from fainting. She stopped crawling forward and just lay there, begging pitifully: "Third Prince, save me! I am Li Changshan's wife from the Ministry of Works. We've met many times. Your Highness even drank tea brewed by my own hands and praised my skills. Third Prince, Ye Wenyan tore off my face! My entire face was ripped off by her! Your Highness must definitely take charge for me and punish the culprit!"
As she was speaking, a group of people pushed their way into the crowd. One little girl, as she jostled forward, shouted, "Who's bullying whom What did you just say Who's bullying whom You shameless monster, stop making a fuss first, with no face left and still so much to say."
Then someone, so cooperative, replied: "The Long Princess bullied the daughter of General Ye, Miss Ye Si! Ten masters beat Miss Ye Si up, truly domineering, Miss Ye Si is too pitiful."
Zhui’er heard it, it was the voice of A-Li, a maidservant from their courtyard.
The one who came out then immediately refused - "What Ten against one Has the princess gone mad"
All eyes turned to the speaker. Upon closer inspection, it was Jiang Wanting, the eldest daughter of Minister Jiang from the Ministry of Justice.
Then another voice chimed in, egging him on: “Is the royal family going to deny the military merit of Ye's family after beating up his descendants”
People looked again, hmm, the eldest daughter of Lin'an Prefect Chi, Chi Feifei.
This isn't even the end of it, someone else chimed in, "Perhaps she doesn't intend to acknowledge him. After all, the Princess only recognizes Qiu Hu and not Bei Qi."
This is Madam Chi, Tang Miaowen, who never misses out on the excitement and gossip.
Then Mrs. Jiang, Lan Meiyu, spoke up: "Master, this is no longer a matter for the women's quarters. It should be addressed by the court."
Jiang Feng followed forward and nodded seriously, "Tomorrow morning court, this official will definitely submit a memorial, requesting the Emperor and all the officials to come together and judge Princess Chang's bullying." After finishing, he looked at the Third Prince Quan Qingyun, who had arrived before them and hadn't had time to speak, "Third Prince, what do you think Are you willing to join this official in submitting a memorial"
"Finally, Quan Qingyun got his chance to speak and immediately nodded in agreement. "This king agrees with Minister Jiang!"
Qian Luo was furious: "Qian Qingyun! Turning your elbow against your own family Which eye did you see me bullying her Besides, even if I were to bully her, what does it have to do with you What business is it of yours Don't tell me you're going to help her Ye Wenyan"
Quan Qingyun looked at his older sister and let out a heavy sigh, "Sister, how many years has it been You've already returned to Be Qi, and you still call yourself 'this palace,' who are you saying this to As for which way your elbows point, Sister, although I am royalty, I am also the Renwang (Prince of Kindness) of Be Qi, a civil official. So my elbows naturally point towards our Be Qi. If you say that calling yourself 'this palace' is based on your position as the Princess of Be Qi, then today I will not bring up your matter with Ye Si Miss. But if you say that calling yourself 'this palace' is based on Qiu Hu, then I have to have a serious talk with you. How can the elder sister remember a nation like Qiu Hu, which has repeatedly invaded Be Qi's territory"
"You—" Quian Qiluo was speechless for a moment, pointing at Quan Qingyun, unsure if she wanted to cry or laugh. "Good, very good. All of you brothers, I pampered you all when you were little. Even after marrying into the Qiuhu Kingdom, I would every year have people bring good things from there to send to you. Now that you've all grown up with your wings hardened, you look down on me, your elder sister, and want to join forces with outsiders to deal with me Quan Qingyun, what gives you the right The Ye family fought on the battlefield to secure peace for Bei Qi. Wasn't my leaving home for the country and family back then also for the sake of securing peace for Bei Qi I have dedicated my whole life to this country, isn't that enough"
She gestured at the corpses on the ground, saying: "Look at these people. These are ten masters by my side. I won't lie to you; eight of them were in the Half-Step Realm, and two in the Absolute Realm. Yet, in less than a cup of tea's time, they were all slain by Ye Wenyan. So, you come rushing over and ask who was bullied by whom Open your eyes wide and see who is bullying who!"
Quan Qingyun lowered his head and looked back, his heart pounding with fear. He knew all too well how powerful a master of the Desperate Realm was. His Ren Wangfu had never had a master of the Desperate Realm before, yet there were two by his elder sister's side. When did they appear Why didn't he know
Seeing him remain silent, Quan Qianluo let out a cold snort and looked at Jiang Wanting and the others, barking, "Kneel down!"
Jiang Wanting jumped in fright, but it wasn't the Empress Dowager's majesty that scared her, but simply because the other party spoke loudly and suddenly shouted like that. She was startled. But after all, the other party was the Empress Dowager, so she couldn't help kneeling even if she didn't want to.
Then, unwillingly and with reluctance, she knelt down. Along with her, Chi Feifei and Jiang Chi, the two wives, also knelt down.
Though he was kneeling, his mouth wouldn't shut: "They died only because they were stupid, because they couldn't beat Wen Yan. What does it matter who they bullied No matter how you look at it, it was still the Princess who sent ten experts to ambush Wen Yan!"
Chi Fei also chimed in: "Wen Yan was acting in self-defense."
Although the two ladies didn't say anything, they kept nodding their heads, and many people followed suit.
Ye Wen's maidservant, Ali, knelt crisply before Jiang Feng and Quan Qingyun: "Please, Lord Jiang and Third Prince, do justice for my mistress. My mistress has suffered too much. I also beg Lord Jiang and Lord Chi to investigate this matter thoroughly and determine who is at fault today."
Upon hearing that he still had a part to play, Chi Hongfang immediately stepped forward and eagerly spoke up, "Good! This official will take on this case and solve it!" He straightened his robe and, looking down at the bodies scattered on the ground, loudly addressed everyone, "First, I would like to hear from Your Highness. Why did you send ten people to attack Miss Ye Si"
Quan Qianluo almost thought she had misheard, "Just a mere magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture, do you have the qualifications to question this palace"
Chi Hongfang also refused to yield, “Since the Crown Princess claims to be Your Highness, then my household has the right to question you! I am the Prefect of Kyoto in the Northern Qi Kingdom, the magistrate of this Lin’an City, and I cannot even ask a remnant of the Qiuhu Kingdom a single word”
What is your name to this palace
"Remnants of the Qiuhu Kingdom! Do you have an opinion" Chi Hongfang took another step forward, "Do you have an opinion"
What's he afraid of! Ye Wenyan is the emperor's woman, damn it, what's he afraid of
Chi Hongfang straightened his spine, feeling for the first time how powerful it was to be the magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture. This was what it felt like to have an emperor backing you up! It was much more satisfying than being supported by the emperor himself. Now, not only could he try Long Princess, but even if he wanted to execute her, he could do so.
"Come on! Why attack Miss Ye Si" Chi Hongfang finished speaking and looked at everyone present, "If the Princess doesn't speak, then you lot will. Whoever can explain things clearly, this official will remember their kindness!"
Then someone wanted this favor, it was one of the ladies kneeling at the gate of the princess's mansion. She loudly proclaimed: "I know! Let me tell you! Today, the Princess hosted a birthday banquet and set up a scarecrow at the gate. The scarecrow had General Ye’s name written on it, dressed in armor, open to trampling and insults. Miss Ye Si was furious, which is why she confronted the Princess.”
“I said it too! I said it too!” someone else defected, “The face of the mistress of the Ministry of Works was torn off by Miss Ye Si. She insulted General Ye Da and put a green scarf on the scarecrow’s head. She even spat at the scarecrow's face.”
Those ladies and misses kneeling on the ground, one after another, spoke clearly about today's events. They even revealed what happened a few years ago when the Princess hosted a birthday banquet and had people perform rituals to curse General Ye Da.
Chi Hongfang knew about what had happened in the past, but back then he hadn't taken sides. Besides, the late emperor allowed the eldest princess to run rampant, so he couldn't say anything. But now things were different. He now had a clear affiliation and was branded with the mark of the Emperor and Empress. Therefore, he had to intervene in what happened at the door of the eldest princess's mansion today.
Then he immediately joined hands with the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Jiang Feng, and shouted: "This case was taken by both my department and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. General Ye Da is a meritorious general of our Northern Qi. Regardless of who dares to humiliate a national general, my department must bring him to justice to comfort the military!"
Jiang Feng also stated: “That’s right, the Ministry of Justice will absolutely not stand idly by. Even if it involves members of the royal family, there is no room for sentiment in this matter! If this matter is not severely punished, I fear that the military morale will be shaken and the country will fall into chaos.” He then looked at Quan Qianluo, “Although the princess seems to have only insulted General Ye Da, she is actually shaking the morale of our Bei Qi army. In the long run, if we go to war again, the army's morale will inevitably be unstable, leading to inevitable defeat! Everyone knows the princess' intentions, so there is no need for me, the Minister of Personnel, to point them out further!”
"Jiang Feng!" Qian Luo was shocked, "Do you know what you're saying This palace is from the Northern Qi royal family and has dedicated my whole life to Northern Qi! How dare you put this traitorous label on me"
Jiang Wanting muttered again, "Every word is 'this palace,' always remembering that she is a person from Qiuhugu Kingdom. Then it's not treason, it's loyalty to her own country."
Chi Fei Fei immediately took over the conversation: "Didn't all of the royal family of Qiuhugu Kingdom get killed How is there still one left Wen Yan!" She looked up at Ye Wen Yan, "This is what your father did wrong. He didn't cut the grass and eradicate its roots, look, the consequences are here now!"
Quian Qianluo suddenly turned his head and glared fiercely at the two girls kneeling on the ground...
