Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 517

The crowd was bustling with people and whispering.

"It's really interesting. A while ago, the Jian'an Marquis's Mansion was almost implicated because of being involved in a fraud case. Just a few days ago, someone in their family was actually named a 'Princess'!"

"Look, the one who received the decree is Miss An Xia! She will be the princess in the future!"

"Princess Haiyan, it must mean 'peaceful rivers and peaceful seas'. The emperor has a plan!"

There are other people talking about other things here.

"I heard that the Jian'an Marquisate has split up."

"No, I haven't seen anyone move away."

"I have an acquaintance working there, and he said that they divide the inside and the outside, but not the outside. Do you understand?"

"What do you mean by dividing the substance but not the appearance?"

"You don't understand this." The man explained proudly, "It means that when one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer. I heard that the third and fourth rooms moved out, but the mansion still kept the courtyard where they originally lived. You see, the prince brought people to receive the decree, and there was no one from the third and fourth rooms among them."

The onlookers were chatting animatedly.

The people in Jian'an Marquis Mansion were also smiling happily.

The prince Shi Chengyi had someone bring some silver and put it into Eunuch Qi's hand, saying sincerely, "Eunuch, you have worked hard! We have prepared some hot tea and snacks. Please come in and have some tea to warm yourself up."

Eunuch Qi was not polite. He took the silver and said with a smile, "It's not hard, it's not hard. Is the prince feeling better?"

Shi Chengyi smiled bitterly with a hint of gratitude, "Much better, thank you for your grace."

The thirty strokes of the cane that day were obviously less severe. Without the order of Emperor Mingde, no one dared to show favoritism.

Shi Chengyi knew it clearly in his heart and was even more grateful to Emperor Mingde.

Eunuch Qi smiled cunningly, "You should thank your niece!"

Emperor Mingde obviously let Shi Chengyi off lightly for Shi Anxia's sake and didn't let him get hit with thirty sticks. Otherwise, how could he get out of bed now?

Shi Chengyi felt even more ashamed. His niece planned his future for him, but he was demoted and beaten because of her.

Shi Anxia was worried that her uncle would be embarrassed, so she changed the subject, "Eunuch Qi, you are in for a treat today. Someone in my courtyard happened to make glutinous rice pearl meatballs, would you like to try some?"

Eunuch Qi smiled and said, "That's great. Our family hasn't eaten glutinous rice pearl meatballs for many years. Thank you An... No, now I should thank Princess Haiyan, hahaha..."

"Father-in-law, you are teasing me too." Shi Anxia smiled.

Just as a group of people were talking and laughing and walking towards the door, something unexpected happened.

I saw several darts flying out from the crowd at the same time, breaking through the air towards Shi Anxia.

A cold light suddenly appears.

A close call.

The long black fur coat spread out from Cen Yuan's hand like a whirlwind, and like a dragnet, it caught the darts shot from all directions.

In an instant, time seemed to stop.

The long black fur coat was frozen in everyone's eyes.

Then, time began to flow.

A woman's scream pierced the sky and the crowd became chaotic.

In an instant, the chaotic crowd suddenly calmed down again.

Scattered like stars in the sky, standing like pine, cypress and bamboo.

The real chaos is caused by a few very inconspicuous people among them.

They wore felt hats, cloth clothes, had ordinary looks and were not tall. They looked like ordinary people hidden in the crowd.

Everyone was terrified at this moment.

They fell into a trap! They had set up a trap for them to get in.

Several people had fierce looks in their eyes, and seeing that the situation was not good, they prepared to flee separately.
