The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

After dealing with Liang Tinggui, Yongqi invited the emperor to go to Shufangzhai to see Xiaoyanzi and the others.

"Father, the girls are all covered in wounds and look horrible. Why don't I accompany you to see them? At least let them know that you forgive them. Otherwise, they will probably be unable to sleep peacefully."

The emperor looked at Yongqi's sincere words and knew what he was planning. He just wanted to make him feel sorry for him and soften his heart.

Humph! He will no longer be deceived or act on emotion.

"I haven't forgiven them, but since they've suffered so much in the clan residence, they've been punished. I can let bygones be bygones for their mistakes, and this matter can be put behind us. But that doesn't mean I can pretend nothing happened. Do you understand?"

Hearing the emperor's serious tone, Yongqi lowered his head, fearing that the emperor would get angry.

But the emperor still stood up, as he should go and see them.

When they arrived at Shufangzhai, Xiaoyanzi had already woken up and several people were gathered together talking.

Xiaoyanzi was very weak and felt pain all over her body. She looked around and saw that she was in a familiar environment. She asked, "Where am I?"

Mingyue's eyes were red and she said in a low voice, "Shufangzhai, Princess, you're back."

Xiaoyanzi closed her eyes, then opened them again. She knew she wasn't dreaming, so she smiled and said, "I actually made it out of the clan residence alive. It turns out it wasn't a dream. Yongqi really did rescue me."

But where did Yongqi go?

"Where's Yongqi?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice announcing: "The Emperor has arrived, the Fifth Prince has arrived."

Ziwei stood up and went out to greet him. When she saw the emperor, her eyes were instantly filled with tears.

"Slave, please see your Majesty."

Ziwei bowed slightly, and tears fell at just the right moment.

The emperor sighed, "Get up quickly. Why are you still calling yourself a slave? It's time to change your address to "I, the Emperor, Father."

Ziwei looked at the emperor with a slight tremor, her eyes showing a mixture of surprise, shock and grievance. She asked weakly, "Really?"

The emperor showed a hint of impatience. This girl didn't understand what he was saying. "Really? Since I have already recognized you, you will be my Huanzhu Gege from now on. Since Xiaoyanzi was a mistake, then just consider it as you who I recognized that day. Everyone in the palace knows about it now. From now on, everyone will call you Huanzhu Gege when they see you."

After hearing the emperor's words and realizing that she was Princess Huanzhu, Ziwei was slightly startled, and the expression she had been trying to maintain on her face began to falter.

Now Ziwei didn't have to pretend to be shocked, she was genuinely shocked.

Return my princess?

Is she Princess Huan Zhu?

Then wouldn't she just be a replacement for Xiaoyanzi?

In this case, there will be no parade to worship the gods, and the people will not know of her existence. What is the point?

Besides, Xiaoyanzi was recognized as an adopted daughter among the common people at that time. So, she was just an adopted daughter and could not be on the Royal Jade Butterfly.

The emperor didn't even bother to choose a new title for her and directly gave her Huanzhu. Is this a naked mockery?

Or is it that the emperor actually likes Xiaoyanzi more in his heart, so he is not happy with her replacing Xiaoyanzi?

But why? She is obviously Xia Yuhe's daughter, the emperor's daughter. Xiaoyanzi is a commoner girl who is nothing, why does she receive all kinds of preferential treatment!

Ziwei was jealous to the point of going crazy.

But in front of the emperor, she pretended to be flattered, bowed again, and timidly called him "Emperor Father".

The emperor smiled and nodded. "Well, you've suffered. I never thought Liang Tinggui would dare to do such a vicious thing under my nose. I have ordered him to be beheaded."

Ziwei shook her head: "Father Emperor, Ziwei is not suffering. It was my mother's last wish to be recognized by you. In order to fulfill my mother's last wish, I deserve to endure any amount of suffering. Besides..."

The emperor saw Ziwei hesitated to speak and asked, "What's more?"

"Besides, there's a reason why Lord Liang was angry and tortured us. It was because Xiaoyanzi had offended Lord Liang. She had caused a scene at his birthday party outside the palace and stolen his money. That's why Liang Tinggui held a grudge and tortured us."

Yongqi was originally very moved when he saw the scene of the father and daughter recognizing each other, but as he was talking, something seemed to be wrong.

What does it mean that Xiaoyanzi offended Liang Tinggui, which led to them being beaten?

What do you mean Lord Liang is angry for a reason?

Ziwei means that Xiaoyanzi deserves all the suffering she has endured and has implicated her, right?

"Ziwei, how can you say that? Are you saying that Xiaoyanzi is to blame for the beating you all got?"

Ziwei waved her hands repeatedly, "How could I possibly say that? Xiaoyanzi and I are sworn sisters. For her, even if I have to risk my life, I'm willing to do it."

Jinsuo couldn't help but interrupt, "That's the truth. Originally, Liang Tinggui just wanted to interrogate us, but Xiaoyanzi insulted and provoked him, which angered him and caused us to receive many beatings for nothing. Every time we were beaten, she would insult and provoke the jailers, which resulted in each beating being very severe."

Ziwei waited for Jinsuo to finish speaking before speaking to stop him: "Okay, stop talking. It's obviously Lord Liang who is narrow-minded. How could he take revenge on someone else?"

The emperor also felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. It seemed that what Ziwei said made sense.

After a long pause, he spoke, "Never mind. Xiaoyanzi's mouth is indeed easy to offend people. Now that she has suffered this loss, it is a good thing for her. It will teach her a lesson and she won't suffer any loss when she leaves the palace in the future."

Yongqi nodded. Xiaoyanzi really needed to change her mouth, but he always felt something was wrong with Ziwei.

At this moment, Little Swallow wailed softly in the house. The Emperor asked, "Is Little Swallow awake?"

Ziwei lied with her eyes open, "Maybe he woke up. I just took some fever-reducing medicine, it should be working."

The emperor went inside to check on Xiaoyanzi and asked, "Are your injuries serious? Do you need me to call Changshou to see you?"

Ziwei smiled slightly and waved her hand: "We only have superficial injuries, there is no need to trouble Doctor Chang."

In this way, Xiaoyanzi lost the opportunity to discover the internal injuries.

Xiaoyanzi looked at the emperor and tried to struggle: "Father Emperor."

The emperor sighed, but still kept a straight face: "Didn't I tell you? Return the princess to Ziwei, and I will no longer be your father. When you leave the palace, I will give you some money to support yourself. Start a small business on your own, and don't be a street thug anymore."

Xiaoyanzi pouted. She had just woken up and the emperor was shouting to drive her away. Were all the good things he had done to her in the past just lies?

Seeing Xiaoyanzi's impatient expression, the emperor didn't want to stay any longer.

"Alright, take good care of your injuries, and then go back to your respective places."
