The Doctor's Concubine: Don't mess with the evil princess

"It's King Yan!" someone in the crowd shouted.

The man pursed his lips, his pair of black eyes were faintly purple, his face was evil yet noble, he looked down on everyone, his eyebrows flew into his temples, and his face looked as if it had been carved by a knife or an axe.

The person who came was none other than Prince of Yan, Li Zeqi. He seldom showed up in public, even at important occasions in the palace. Not many people had seen him.

When the people in the main hall saw that it was the King of Yan, they immediately stood up and bowed to greet him. The people outside the door who were watching the fun also knelt down.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Yan!"

The King of Yan was a man of few words. He just waved his hand, signaling everyone to stand up, and then walked towards the main hall.

Li Zeqi's eyes sank as he cast his gaze at Mu Lanfeng standing beside him. After a moment, he turned his head and glanced at everyone present. His face was calm as he asked in a cold voice, "Do you all think that my little princess is young and easy to bully?"

What is this nonsense?

What he meant was that even the people from the Mu Mansion helped Zheng Xiuming and his son to bully Mu Lanfeng?

It was the first time that Mu Baiying met Li Zeqi. She had only heard of the Prince of Yan and knew that he had a strange personality and didn't like women. But she didn't expect him to be so handsome. He was a little obsessed with him!

She took half a step forward, wanting King Yan to notice her presence.

The only thing that made her unhappy was that Li Zeqi came to help Mu Lanfeng!

"Your Highness Prince Yan, please take a seat!" Mu Xun's face sank and he forced a smile.

Li Zeqi said expressionlessly: "You are welcome, Prime Minister Mu!"

Mu Xun's old face turned red, feeling extremely embarrassed. There were few people in the court who did not buy into his ideas, but the King of Yan in front of him did not give him any face at all!

This King of Yan exudes an aura that makes him difficult to approach.

"I wonder why His Royal Highness Prince Yan came to the Mu Mansion this time?" Jiang asked respectfully and modestly with a smile on her face.

"Cough!" Li Zeqi put his hand to his mouth and coughed lightly. He turned his eyes to Jiang. His sharp eyes swept over Jiang, making Jiang shiver involuntarily, and the chill spread throughout his body.

He turned his head to look at Zheng Xiuming and his son, and said in a low and slightly hoarse voice, "I have submitted all the evidence to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion. If General Zheng has any questions, he can go directly to the Yin Mansion, Lord Liu, to ask for clarification!"

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Peng collapsed to the ground, his eyes were blank, and he was still mumbling: "Father, save me, father, save me..."

Seeing his son in such a state, Zheng Xiuming couldn't help but panic. His legs became weak and he slowly sat down on the chair, trembling.

No one present expected Li Zeqi to be so direct. After all, Zheng Xiuming was a general who protected the country and led troops in battles. Even if he had no merits, he had worked hard, so he should at least be given some leeway.

The atmosphere in the hall was indescribably strange for a moment, and the only sound was the whispers of people outside the door.

Seeing this, Mu Xun tried to persuade him to avoid a stalemate, "Your Highness, is there still room for maneuver? General Zheng usually leads troops in battles and neglects to discipline his only son, which led to his son doing many wrong things. Considering General Zheng's hard work and great contributions, can you please let him off the hook?"

Li Zeqi glanced at Mu Xun coldly and asked, "If we let Mr. Zheng off for this, who will those who have been harmed by him seek justice from?"

"Your Highness, as long as you spare my son, I will pay for the victim's losses!" Zheng Xiuming took over the conversation.

Mu Lanfeng looked at Zheng Xiuming coldly, feeling extremely dissatisfied. "Don't think that everything can be solved with money. There are things in this world that money can't buy!"

"Fifth girl, shut up!" Mu Xun scolded with a sullen face.

Seeing that Li Zeqi intended to let Zheng Peng go, Mu Lanfeng suddenly said this.

"Prime Minister Mu has such great authority. My future princess is right, not everything can be bought with money!" Li Zeqi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, suggesting a smile.

Mu Xun was a little embarrassed, his old face was so dark that water was about to come out of it. The King of Yan obviously didn't buy his account, and with Mu Lanfeng's exaggeration, there was no hope for the situation to turn around!

"Your Highness, please calm down. Forgive me for speaking frankly. General Zheng is an important official in the court. If his only son were to be imprisoned, wouldn't that be chilling to the heart of this minister?" Mu Xun was not afraid of Li Zeqi's majesty and spoke bluntly.

Zheng Xiuming originally came to cause trouble for Mu Xun, but he didn't expect Mu Xun to speak up for him instead. He couldn't help feeling a little ashamed!

Zheng Xiuming was not a wicked person, he just neglected to discipline his son in his education. In addition, the elders in the family doted on him too much, so even if he wanted to discipline him, he was powerless. He let his son develop like this for a long time, and he ended up with the bad behavior he has today.

"Your Highness, I will discipline my son well when I return. I hope Your Highness will give him a chance!" Zheng Xiuming also walked down the stairs.

"Since ancient times, merits and demerits cannot offset each other. Merits are merits and demerits are demerits. If you rely on your own merits to harm others and kill people, can your merits offset your demerits?" Mu Lanfeng asked coldly.

Mu Lanfeng, who used to be timid, now speaks in a series of ways and doesn't look like a wild girl who has never seen the world.

I still underestimated her existence!

"Fifth Miss is only so arrogant because she relies on the power of His Royal Highness Prince Yan!" Zheng Peng was so angry that he blurted out.

"You..." Mu Lanfeng was about to retort.

"She is my future princess. Even if she relies on my power, so what? Do you have any objection to me spoiling you?" Li Zeqi asked in a cold voice.

"No, I dare not!" Zheng Peng replied weakly.

"I have already given you a chance, but not only have you shown no remorse, you even dared to come to the Mu Mansion to cause trouble! It was obvious that your tooth fell out by accident, so why are you blaming it on my future little princess now?" Li Zeqi said slowly, with no expression on his face, but he looked even scarier than when he was angry.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. It's all because of my son's ignorance. I still hope that Your Highness will give my son a chance!" Zheng Xiuming was born a military general. As he said himself, he speaks frankly and doesn't know how to beat around the bush.

Li Zeqi's eyes darkened, and the cold expression on his face softened a little. "Whether to give him a chance or not is not up to me. You should ask those people who were harmed by your son. They are all in Jingzhao Yinfu. You can go and make the decision yourself!"

After hearing this, Zheng Xiuming felt hope again. After thanking Li Zeqi, he led Zheng Peng out of the Mu Mansion.

Things hadn't gotten out of hand yet, so Mu Xun was finally relieved. However, he had been so nervous several times before that he couldn't help but break out in cold sweats.

"Prime Minister Mu, there is something I don't understand?" Li Zeqi asked expressionlessly.

Mu Xun was startled and asked hurriedly, "Your Highness, what is this matter?"

Li Zeqi glanced at Mu Lanfeng, then quickly glanced at the Jiang family and asked coldly, "The Fifth Miss is from the Mu Mansion, why does Prime Minister Mu side with outsiders? Is the Fifth Miss worse than an outsider?"
