Chapter 491 They are the Qiuhu people!

The guests who came to attend the Princess' birthday banquet were truly amazed today. They were startled from the entrance of the mansion, one shock after another, until now, when they saw that the young master of the Feng family had been drowning in the water for such a long time, and was still alive and kicking after coming out, they felt that their surprise had reached its peak, and no matter what happened next, they would not be too surprised.

The young master of the Feng family is named Feng Yichen, nicknamed Chen'er. After hearing what Ye Wenyan said, he began to point fingers - "It was a maid from the Princess's Mansion who pushed me. I also saw her talking to our nanny and gave her some money. The nanny then left me by the lake. I wanted to run back to find the nanny, but the maid pulled me back and pushed me into the water."

Chen'er was very angry and scared. He sat on the ground, crying and talking, holding onto Aunt Fang tightly.

Aunt Fang had understood that it was not Ye Wenyan who pushed the person, but the maid of the princess's mansion who bribed the nanny she brought. But why would the maid of the princess's mansion do this? The Feng family had no grudges against the princess's mansion!

She looked at the princess in anger and confusion, and said loudly: "I misunderstood Fourth Miss Ye. I will definitely apologize to Fourth Miss Ye later. But please also ask the princess to give us an explanation for why the servants of the princess's mansion wanted to harm my son?"

"No one harmed your son! He lied!" The maid was anxious, pointed at Chen'er and shouted frantically, "He lied!"

"He is only five years old!" Aunt Fang was also on the verge of collapse. "He is only five years old, and you said he was lying? What reason did he have to lie? Does he know what lying is? And you, why did you give money to my nanny, why did you push my son into the water? Tell me!"

The maid said nothing and took two steps behind Quan Qianluo. Aunt Fang became even angrier, "Princess! Is it too much for me to ask for an explanation? This happened in your house. You should give me an explanation both emotionally and logically. Princess, there are so many people watching us!"

Quan Qianluo glared at the maid fiercely, and then said to Aunt Fang: "According to your family's official rank, I don't need to give you an explanation. And today is my birthday, you didn't take good care of your child, and caused me so much trouble, I should ask you for an explanation. But I am kind and don't want to argue with you about this. Your child also said that it was this maid who bribed your nanny and pushed your child into the lake. So I will kill her now to vent your anger."

When she said this, she raised her hand, and immediately a guard came forward and took the maid away.

The maid was panicked and wanted to explain something, but when she looked at the princess again, she swallowed back what she was about to say and changed her words to: "There is no reason, I just don't like your child. I pushed the person and gave the money, this matter has nothing to do with others, you can kill me or chop me up, I will accept it. Your son is lucky today, he didn't die after being soaked in water for so long, maybe it's fate."

She stopped talking and stretched her neck forward, waiting to be chopped.

Aunt Fang was at a loss for words. It was obvious that the princess was pushing someone to take the blame, but what else could she say? She couldn't force the princess to confess, nor could she threaten the maid to tell the truth.

A maid who can even admit to a death penalty must have something or someone in her master's hands. She would rather take the blame for her master than defend herself. What else can she do?

Aunt Fang lowered her head and hugged her son tightly in her arms. There was reluctance on her face, but she said nothing more.

The princess was very satisfied with her performance, so she signaled to the guards: "Chop him up on the spot, to vent the anger of this young master of the Feng family!"

The guard raised his knife and was about to cut the maid's neck, but Ye Wenyan shouted, "Wait!" She narrowed her eyes and looked at the princess, "This is obviously a premeditated case with inside information. How can you just cut her off and let it go?"

"What else do you want?" Quan Qianluo was almost annoyed to death by Ye Wenyan. "This is a matter between me and the Feng family. The concubine of the Feng family has stopped talking. Why does Miss Ye Fourth want to meddle in this matter?" She said while winking at the guard. The guard also understood that he had to kill the maid quickly, otherwise the matter would not end. Once the maid fell into the hands of outsiders, it would be bad.

But his hand holding the knife was weak and he couldn't put it down no matter what he did, as if it was blocked by something invisible.

Seeing him holding the knife without moving, Quan Qianluo became anxious: "What are you doing?"

"He is buying time for the Feng family!" Ye Wenyan smiled and suddenly said to Chi Hongfang, "Sir, should Lin'an Prefecture take over this case?"

Chi Hongfang walked forward with a smile, "Yes, it's time to take it. The princess couldn't cut it with her knife, and I have been watching. As soon as the knife falls, the people from Lin'an Prefecture will rush forward and snatch the person away. This is an important witness. I must take him back for a thorough interrogation. Only when the interrogation is clear can we give the Feng family an explanation."

Quan Qianluo was anxious and wanted to say something, but Chi Hongfang was too quick. He borrowed someone from the Fourth and Sixth Princes and quickly snatched the maid from the guards' swords. Then he took her away without saying a word. It was too late for the people in the Princess's Mansion to stop them. Besides, there were two princes' followers standing in the middle, so no one could stop them.

"Royal sister." The Fourth Prince Quan Qinghua spoke up, "Since it was your maid who did it, shouldn't you apologize to Fourth Miss Ye for the slander you made before?"

"Why should I apologize to her? She doesn't deserve my apology!" Quan Qianluo shouted, and was about to send all the most vicious words to Ye Wenyan. At this moment, she saw a servant from the princess's mansion hurriedly squeezed forward and whispered something in her ear.

But the servant's voice was too soft, and Quan Qianluo was so angry at the moment that she didn't hear it clearly, and her mood became even more irritable. She turned around and slapped the servant in the face, shouting: "Louder! I can't hear you!"

The servant immediately raised his voice and said, "Princess, Miss Ye Si sent someone to take away the scarecrow at the gate of our mansion. We didn't think much of it at first, thinking that Miss Ye Si just couldn't stand it and wanted to take it away, dismantle it and throw it away. But we just got the news that the scarecrow was brought to the gate of the First-rank General's Mansion, with the name of the King Qiuhu written on it, and dressed in Qiuhu-style clothes, and is kneeling at the gate of the First-rank General's Mansion! Just like... just like it was kneeling at the gate of our mansion before."

Boom! The crowd was in chaos. No one expected Ye Wenyan to do such a thing. This was revenge! Wouldn't the princess be crazy? Can she still leave the princess's mansion today? It's okay for them to fight, but don't drag others into it.

When Quan Qianluo heard this, his face changed drastically, and when he looked at Ye Wenyan again, it was as if he was looking at someone with a blood feud.

"How dare you let my husband kneel in the First-Rank General's Mansion? Ye Wenyan, you are courting death!"

She wanted to rush forward and fight with Ye Wenyan, but she was blocked by her two younger brothers after taking just one step forward.

Then Ye Wenyan said, "You can make my father kneel in the Princess's Mansion, so why can't I make your ex-husband kneel in the First-Rank General's Mansion? It's too late for a gentleman to take revenge, so I must get back at him immediately. Princess, you do the first day and I do the fifteenth. It's fair for us to go back and forth. What are you unhappy about? Are you unhappy with me?"

She took two steps forward and said, "Don't fight me all the time. You can't beat me, so what's the point of fighting?"

Quan Qianluo raised her head and took a deep breath. All the resentment accumulated over the years burst out at this moment. It was as if she had returned to the past when her husband died under Ye Jinggui's knife. It was also a servant who told her that the king was gone and was killed by the general of Northern Qi. "My queen, let's run quickly. The king hopes that you will take good care of the baby in your belly. That is Qiuhu's hope."

She had already felt despair once, until she lost her child and it seemed that there was no difference between living and dying.

All the guards from the Princess's Mansion surrounded Ye Wenyan, regardless of whether the two princes were there or not. Even if it meant sacrificing their lives, they were willing to do everything they could to kill Ye Wenyan so that the Princess could vent her anger.

Quan Qianluo screamed hysterically: "Kill her! Kill the Ye family and avenge the king!" Dozens of guards rushed forward, their sharp swords flashing coldly against the crescent moon hanging high in the sky.

Ye Wenyan looked up and saw that the moon was in a crescent shape, but it was also approaching a full moon. It should be the tenth or eleventh day.

These guards were different from the previous ones, they were more skilled in martial arts and less afraid of death. They showed their fierceness under the orders of the eldest princess, and each of them had the aura of a death warrior. Even if the two princes of Northern Qi stood in front of her, they would not be afraid at all.

Ye Wenyan narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly realized that something was wrong.

"Qiuhu people! They are Qiuhu people!" She reminded Quan Qinghua and Quan Qingyin, "They are the remnants of Qiuhu!"

Upon hearing this, the two princes showed no mercy and killed anyone who could rush forward. In the blink of an eye, corpses were scattered all over the ground.

But after all, the other side had many people, and even if they were all killed, it would take more than a moment to kill them all. Moreover, many guards had stopped attacking her and turned to attack other guests. For a moment, the scene was in chaos, and people fled in panic, but some were still caught by the guards.

"Don't worry about me, just save them!" Ye Wenyan casually used a spell to save an official who was captured by the guards and was about to be killed. At the same time, he also reminded the two princes, "The Qiuhu people are going to kill them!"

Quan Qinghua and Quan Qingyin also noticed that something was wrong, and they both broke out in cold sweats.

The capital of Northern Qi, the inner city of Lin'an, actually hid so many remnants of the Qiuhu under the nose of the emperor. Was it that Lin'an's defense was too loose, or was their imperial sister too bold?

How many years have these people been hiding in Lin'an? Did the late emperor know?
