The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

In the Cining Palace, a young eunuch came to report, "The Fifth Prince hasn't left yet, and keeps asking to see the Empress Dowager."

The old lady who was originally chatting happily with the four girls suddenly turned cold.

"He refuses to leave and makes such a loud noise outside the Cining Palace. Is he trying to force me to relent, or is he trying to put me in an unkind position by letting everyone see?"

This is too serious. If the Fifth Prince is accused of being unfilial again, his reputation will be completely ruined.

Jingyan knew that the old lady would not easily say such words, which showed that she was really angry with him.

But the Fifth Prince also had threatening intentions, just as the Empress Dowager said.

Thinking of this, Jing Yan stood up and said, "I'll go and drive him away."

The old lady looked at Jingyan with a hint of relief and said, "Go ahead and tell him I won't see him."

Perhaps fearing that the Fifth Prince would not listen to Jing Yan, the Empress Dowager sent another team of guards, "If he goes back obediently, fine. If he doesn't, take him back and put him under house arrest."

Going empty-handed would be a waste of energy, so Jingyan borrowed Seya's whip.

It’s true that whips are indeed suitable weapons for girls. Even Jingyan, who has never swung a whip before, found it very easy and convenient.

After practicing a few moves in the yard, Jingyan walked towards the outside of the Cining Palace with a menacing look.

"Fifth Prince! The Empress Dowager has ordered you to return to the palace immediately and not make any noise here."

As he spoke, Jingyan swung the whip heavily next to the Fifth Prince as a threat.

Yongqi was determined to force the Empress Dowager to kneel down and give in, so he would not leave easily.

"Jingyan, go tell the old lady that I really have something important to ask her. I won't leave unless she sees me."

Seeing Yongqi's high-sounding words, Jingyan sneered, "Do you think we don't know? You're just pleading for Xiaoyanzi, right? Just say it directly. You're so shameless as to say something important. The old Buddha won't see you."

Seeing Jingyan knew what he was thinking, Yongqi realized that the Empress Dowager also knew the reason, and couldn't help but feel a little discouraged: "Why! Why can't you be more tolerant of Xiaoyanzi? She was just mistaken by the Emperor. She doesn't have any malicious intentions."

"Isn't it good enough to have no ill intentions? Once the emperor investigates the matter, he will release her from the palace. Why are you begging for mercy like this?"

Jingyan could naturally guess the purpose of the Fifth Prince's actions. To put it nicely, isn't it that he wants both? If he wants to force the Emperor or Empress Dowager to recognize the two princesses, then he has to see if they are worthy!

Yong Qi couldn't express his ultimate goal, so he could only say, "Xiao Yanzi is a weak woman, without a father or a mother. Where can she go after leaving the palace? She's just a girl, why can't you tolerate her?"

"Oh? So, you mean the royal family has to accept this commoner who committed the crime of deceiving the emperor? And she's a weak woman. How did she survive before entering the palace? I didn't see her dying. Now that she's been pampered and no longer a princess, she can't survive?"

"Jingyan, don't go too far!"

"Am I going too far, or are you? For your own selfish gain, you openly threatened the old Buddha, and you are being disloyal and unfilial to the extreme. The old Buddha is being merciful and not punishing you. If you continue to be relentless, don't blame me for being blinded by my whip."

Yong Qi sneered: "Do you dare to hit me? I am the Fifth Prince!"

"I'm going to hit you!" After all, she was a princess of the First Rank with a title and rank. She had her reasons for doing so, so she couldn't hit a bald prince like him.

After saying that, Jingyan's whip hit the Fifth Prince very accurately, but unfortunately the force was not enough and his skin was not torn. It only left a red whip mark on his neck.

Yongqi didn't expect Jingyan to dare to hit him. He couldn't dodge it for a moment. After he reacted, he was furious and stood up to attack Jingyan.

Unexpectedly, Jingyan was prepared. She jumped away nimbly and whipped the Fifth Prince again.

Perhaps it was because of the novice protection period, or perhaps the whip could no longer bear it, and the whip happened to hit the Fifth Prince in the face again.

It wasn't painful, but it was extremely insulting.

Yongqi was completely mad now, "You are going too far!"

Jingyan curled his lips slightly and clapped his hands. The guards who had been prepared immediately ran out of the Cining Palace and surrounded the Fifth Prince.

Yongqi watched them surround him and shouted angrily, "Look who I am, do you want to rebel?"

In the past, those guards would naturally give face to the Fifth Prince, but now everyone knows that the Fifth Prince has gone crazy, done something wrong, and is disliked by the Emperor.

In this palace, there are many princes that the emperor doesn't like, so they are not afraid of him.

"Fifth Prince, we, in the name of the Empress Dowager, have sent you back to Yonghe Palace and placed you under house arrest. We apologize for the offense."

After saying that, several people restrained the Fifth Prince and escorted him back to Yonghe Palace.

"Jingyan! You did it on purpose!"

Looking at Yongqi struggling hysterically, Jingyan stepped forward to "persuade him kindly".

"If you like Xiaoyanzi, why not take her in and keep her as your own sweetheart? Wouldn't that be more practical than going crazy right now? If you make any more noise, I'll report to Uncle Huang and have you sent to the clan residence to accompany them!"

The news that Yongqi was taken back to the palace and placed under house arrest by a group of guards spread like wildfire. Everyone in the palace knew that the Fifth Prince was not filial and had caused a scene at the gate of the Cining Palace, and was therefore ordered by the Empress Dowager to be placed under house arrest.

For a time, everyone was talking about it, saying that the usually steady Fifth Prince had become ignorant and unskillful since Princess Huanzhu entered the palace, and had been making trouble all day long.

Even the emperor knew the news and sent someone to warn Concubine Yu and Yongqi, asking him to reflect on his mistakes in Yonghe Palace. If he made trouble again, don't blame the emperor for not considering the father-son relationship and punishing him severely.

When Concubine Yu heard the news, she cried until her tears dried up.

She roared in frustration, "What on earth are you trying to do? Are you going to destroy the entire Yonghe Palace and bury it with you?"

Yongqi felt a little aggrieved: "I just wanted to plead for Xiaoyanzi, it was Jingyan who deliberately provoked me!"

There was no way Concubine Yu could be fooled by Yongqi's few words. She had already sent someone to find out the truth of the situation.

This unfilial son had a quarrel with the emperor and then went to the Cining Palace to make trouble. He was simply going against the will of heaven.

"Can you please be more sensible and stop making your mother worry about you every day? From now on, your mother will watch over you every day. You are not allowed to do anything stupid again."

Concubine Yu was planning that once she dealt with the so-called Princess Huanzhu and Yongqi was released from house arrest, she would help Yongqi get married as soon as the matter was settled.

Once he gets married, Yongqi will naturally settle down.

Yongqi's ears were almost callused by Concubine Yu's words. He was quite impatient and said, "I didn't do anything stupid! If even I don't plead for Xiaoyanzi, then no one in this world will care about her life or death."

Concubine Yu was heartbroken by Yongqi. "Are you really going to ignore my mother for that unidentified woman? You only care about her life and death, but not my mother's?"

Yongqi's tone softened: "Mother, I like her and love her. Now she is imprisoned. If I do nothing, wouldn't I be unworthy of being a man?"

"But you have to stay rational. Besides, we're only in the investigation stage now. If you lose your composure, won't that make the Emperor even more suspicious?"

"Just listen to your mother, even if you plead for mercy when she orders Xiaoyanzi to be executed?"

Concubine Yu tried to persuade him kindly. Until now, she just wanted to persuade Yongqi not to do anything stupid again.
