The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

In addition to capturing prisoners, there is another more important thing, which is to comfort the ordinary people who were innocently affected in this assassination.

Many civilians were injured while fleeing, and some were even killed by the inhumane White Lotus Sect members.

There were also stalls and shops that were smashed and damaged, and the court had to allocate funds to appease them.

The emperor assigned this task to Yongheng and asked Ertai to assist him. The emperor did not forget Ertai's contribution and also took this opportunity to see his ability.

Yongheng and Ertai received the order and were responsible for coordinating with Magistrate Ding on the allocation of funds to comfort the people.

Fu Ling'an went to interrogate the White Lotus prisoners.

The others went to rest, especially the emperor. Today was really thrilling for him. He fainted due to the shock, and was assassinated when he opened his eyes. It was already dark now. The emperor's body really couldn't take it anymore.

"Then Uncle Huang, you should have a good rest. Brother, Ling'an, and Ertai, you should also rest early after you are done with your work."

After saying goodbye to everyone, Jingyan and Qing'er returned to their room.

As soon as he entered the door, Jingyan slumped in the chair and let out a long sigh.

"Ah, Qing'er, I'm so tired today. This happened. I guess Uncle Huang will return to Beijing after finishing things here."

Qing'er also sat down and poured a glass of water for each of them. "Yes, especially since we were following the master today, it was really dangerous."

"I've been out for several months now. I miss the Imperial Grandmother. It would be better to go back soon. But what about Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi? What do you think the Imperial Uncle will do?"

Qing'er also missed the Old Buddha. This was the first time since she was a child that she had been away from the Old Buddha for such a long time.

"I think, Ziwei, the master will definitely accept her. Xiaoyanzi is not sure yet. The master's attitude towards Xiaoyanzi is very strange. Sometimes he dotes on her, and sometimes he is so impatient."

Jing Yan shook his head: "I think the Emperor's uncle still dotes on Xiao Yanzi, but it's just that Xiao Yanzi's playful personality does bother him."

"That's true, but I didn't see clearly when Ziwei blocked the knife. How did she rush in front of the master so quickly? It's so shocking, it's unbelievable."

Jingyan thought back and realized that her attention was drawn to Fu Lingan at the time, and when she noticed, Ziwei had already rushed out.

Jingyan always thought that this was a fixed plot, so even though it was outrageous, she accepted it readily.

But Qing'er couldn't understand how Ziwei, a weak woman, could be faster than those who knew martial arts.

Looking at the puzzled Qing'er, Jingyan couldn't just say it was all the fault of the plot god! However, if someone had to be stabbed this time, Jingyan selfishly hoped it wasn't her family or friends.

"But I always feel that the master is a little reluctant to recognize this daughter. I guess there will be more trouble after returning to the palace."

Qing'er's words hit the spot in Jingyan's gossip gene. She became excited and whispered crickets in Qing'er's ear.

"That was quite reluctant! Everyone knew that the master had other feelings for her before. He was probably about to return and give her a position, but then someone staged a fake assassination.

He then learned that this was his own daughter. How shocking! And when it was revealed in front of everyone, the old master would lose all face.”

Looking at Jingyan's sarcastic look, Qing'er burst out laughing.

"Xiaoyanzi is indeed quite impulsive. If Ziwei had spoken about this herself, she might have chosen to do so in private, and Xiaoyanzi would have been completely oblivious to this."

Jingyan doesn't think so. The two sisters are the same.

"Although Xiaoyanzi revealed the secret in public, have you forgotten that Ziwei also forced the emperor to recognize her before she drew her sword?"

Regardless of whether their purposes are the same, the nature of the two is similar.

Jingyan actually thought at first that Ziwei and Fuerkang went through all this trouble just to get the amnesty order, but when Ziwei had such a good opportunity yesterday, she chose to acknowledge her father, which was very strange.

If you take the blame just to acknowledge your father, then it's not worth it.

Qing'er nodded. "Actually, this is completely unnecessary. After all, if she really has the Emperor's blood in her body, neither the Emperor nor the Empress Dowager would allow the royal bloodline to flow out into the world."

Jingyan completely agreed with Qing'er's words.

As long as Ziwei stays safe and does not cause trouble, she will definitely be able to obtain the status of a princess when she returns to the palace. There is no need to risk her life to block the knife, and there is no need to force the emperor to recognize her in public.

But now, she is forcing the emperor to recognize her by relying on the grace of saving her life. The emperor must be very upset.

From then on, every time the emperor saw her, he would think of her calculations, and how Ziwei had disregarded the emperor's safety for the so-called glory and wealth.

This operation was completely in vain and even not worth the effort.

Xiaoyanzi hasn’t received the amnesty yet, and she doesn’t know whether she can save her life.

However, considering that the emperor seems cold and ruthless but is actually very soft-hearted, it is highly likely that he will not chop off Xiaoyanzi's head. After all, the emperor in the play can even recognize these two daughters.

"The Empress Dowager received our letter but never replied. Now the situation has changed again and again, and the matter of the real and fake princess has been completely exposed. Should we write another letter back?"

"It would be better to inform Mr. Lafayette in advance so that he can be prepared."

Jingyan took out the paper and didn't know how to write when he picked up the pen. It was too ridiculous.

At the same time, in the Cining Palace far away in the capital.

Pu Gonggong rode at full speed and finally rushed back after finding out about Ziwei.

"Greetings, Her Majesty." This matter was of great importance, so Eunuch Pu immediately reported to Her Majesty as soon as he entered the palace.

"You're back. How was the investigation?"

"My Lord, I did some research in the capital and easily found information about Xiaoyanzi. She's been living in a large compound in the capital for seven or eight years, performing on the streets. She can't possibly be the daughter of Xia Yuhe from Jinan."

Hearing this, the old Buddha's eyes darkened. "It is indeed so. A folk performing artist could turn the palace upside down and make the emperor trust her so much. It's simply ridiculous! Has Ziwei been found?"

"Replying to Mr. Buddha, the Xia family was once quite prominent in the local area. The news that Xia Yuhe gave birth to a daughter out of wedlock was also widely spread in the local area. It can be basically concluded that Xia Yuhe's daughter is this Xia Ziwei, and Xiaoyanzi is just a small-time hoodlum performing in the capital."

The old lady took a deep breath and felt a headache. "Go down and find out how the two of them got together."

After Eunuch Pu left, the Empress Dowager looked at the moonlight outside the window and thought about the matter of the real and fake princesses. She wondered how to deal with it so as to cover up the royal scandal and prevent the royal bloodline from being leaked out.

That night, the Empress Dowager thought a lot. The most important thing was under what circumstances the emperor should be informed of this matter. As for Ziwei, if she was to be recognized, then she would be recognized. The royal family could still afford to support a princess.

As for Xiaoyanzi, she was extremely rebellious. She actually played the emperor in the palm of her hand. She deserves to be killed!

Thinking of this, the old Buddha called two guards.

"Take a team and secretly protect the emperor. Do not disturb him. Secretly inform Jingyan to do his best to stop Xiaoyanzi and the others from revealing the truth. Keep a close eye on Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi and report any unusual movements immediately."
