After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

A team of imperial guards rushed out, surrounded the people, and prevented them from approaching the palace gate.

Then two stretchers came out.

On the stretcher were two seriously injured imperial guards whose lives were unknown.

Then two maids with cold faces came out. They also seemed to be injured. One of them had his arm hanging with white cloth on his left and right, which looked very strange.

Afterwards, two servants came out carrying a throne.

Zhong Ning, dressed in plain clothes and looking pale, was helped out.

She had a white cloth wrapped around her head, which was faintly stained with blood. There was also a circle of white cloth wrapped around her left wrist, which showed that she was also injured there.

The whole person looks extremely weak and pitiful.

Everyone watched all this in amazement. No, this was not what they had imagined!

Shouldn't a princess be dressed in gorgeous clothes, arrogant and aggressive?

Everyone was puzzled, but deeply shocked!

"See Your Highness the Princess!"

As soon as Zhong Ning came out, everyone knelt down instantly.

As for the Duke of Fuguo and many others with great achievements, they only need to bow slightly.

"Everyone, get up quickly!" Zhong Ning's voice was weak, and it was obvious that he was struggling to hold up his body.

"Zhaohua, hello to the Duke!" Zhong Ning let go of Suxin's hand and bowed slightly in the direction of Duke Fu.

The whole person was like a broken snowflake, shaky and almost falling down.

Afterwards, Su Xin and others forcibly helped her onto the phoenix chair.

"Your Highness, you were seriously injured. The imperial physician said you needed to rest in bed, but when you heard that Duke Fuguo was coming, you insisted on getting up to greet him in person."

"I feel so bad for you for mistreating your body like this!" Su Xin cried with red eyes.

"Everyone doesn't know the truth, but I have to defend you!"

After saying that, Su Xin stood up, bowed respectfully to the people around her, and then explained in a tearful voice:

"Everyone, this is what happened."

"Our princess went on an incognito tour yesterday, intending to go to Zhenguo Temple to burn incense. Because she didn't want to spoil everyone's elegant mood, she dressed lightly and accompanied a few people without informing anyone."

"But we didn't expect that halfway through the journey, we would actually encounter a group of bandits. They wanted to kill us without a word. All four guards were injured, and even our princess was not spared."

"We finally waited for reinforcements and successfully captured the bandits, only to learn that the bandits were actually Master Chen Yan, the son of Duke Fuguo, and were playing a joke on our princess."

"Master Chen, Lord Duke, I beg you, Your Highness has just returned from the common people and has been very cautious in her words and actions, not leaving the palace easily. I really don't know how she has offended you two to have to suffer such a misfortune."

"If you are angry, just come at me. My life is worthless and not worth much. I just want to vent the anger of the Duke."

After saying that, Su Xin knelt down directly in front of Duke Fuguo.

Jingxin, Liangxin and others also knelt down.

The deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, Jing Wuchang, bowed to the Duke of Fuguo and said:

"My Lord, I am here to protect the princess under the Emperor's orders. If you are angry, please vent it on me. Do not hurt the princess again!"

Duke Fuguo:.......

Chen Yan:........

Everyone present:........

Seeing this, the people around couldn't help but become indignant.

[No wonder there's been no activity in the Princess's residence. It turns out it's because Her Royal Highness is seriously injured. This Duke Fuguo is way too bold. This is the Princess!]

[It's not just the princess. Didn't you see there were several injured people on both sides?]

[This is too shameless. They dare to joke with the princess.]

[This is not a slap on the princess, but a slap on the emperor's face]

[No wonder he came to apologize so quickly! ]

........

Duke Fuguo's face turned dark at this moment.

His plan to bring his son to the princess's residence with great fanfare to confess his guilt, with the intention of guiding public opinion and forcing the princess to give in, was foiled.

He underestimated Princess Zhaohua.

Not only does she have martial arts skills, she also has brains.

And he actually looked down on his opponent just because she was a woman.

Princess Zhaohua is a good tactic of retreating to advance. Showing weakness like this makes it seem that the Duke Fuguo's Mansion has bad intentions.

Now it is even at the forefront of moral and public opinion. If it is not careful, it will be criticized by people all over the world.

After all, they were the ones who made the mistake first, plotting against the royal princess and forcing the other party to make concessions. Every step, at this moment, has become a minefield that can be criticized!

"Your Highness!" Duke Fuguo bent his straight back and saluted Zhong Ning, saying, "It is my son's fault for offending Your Highness. I hereby apologize to Your Highness!"

After saying this, he was about to lift his robe and kneel down.

"Quickly stop Duke Fuguo!" Zhong Ning's face was pale and anxious. Jing Wuchang immediately stepped forward and held up Duke Fuguo's body as he was about to kneel down.

"My Lord, you are too embarrassed to be with me. A man's knees are as precious as gold, and you are a hero on the battlefield. How can you be so easily defeated?" Zhong Ning said this and coughed heavily a few times, looking even more fragile.

"Your Highness, take care of yourself! This is all the fault of this rebellious son!" Seeing that kneeling down failed, Duke Fuguo started his second plan. "Come here, pass on the family rules!"

A servant beside him brought a tray with an iron whip with barbs on it. Duke Fu's eyes dimmed for a moment, but thinking of the safety of his family, he could only give the whip two times in front of everyone.

If he severely punished his son in front of everyone and Princess Zhaohua still refused to give in, then the other party would be getting too aggressive.

They, the Duke Fuguo Mansion, can also step down and stand on the side of morality!

With two snaps, Duke Fuguo whipped the whip with great force.

Chen Yan was beaten to the ground and couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone's eyes were fixed on the father and son who were performing.

Zhong Ning flicked his fingertips hidden under his robe, and a nearly transparent little insect was flicked into Chen Yan's mouth.

This is the Puppet Gu, one of the three great spiritual Gu in the Nanzhao Divine Valley.

The so-called three great spiritual Gu in Nanzhao Divine Valley are Blood Love Gu, Golden Silkworm Gu, and Puppet Gu.

Among them, the golden silkworm Gu is the most precious, and only the Holy Maiden of the Divine Valley can possess it.

Although Meng Huanyan was the favored next generation heir, she had not yet inherited the throne, so the golden silkworm Gu was not found on her.

She used the blood love Gu on the Crown Prince of Dayong, Murong Fu.

The puppet Gu was used by Zhong Ning on Chen Yan.

This Gu is said to be made by a spiritual creature. After it is made, it has its own thoughts and consciousness. When it is inserted into the body of a living person, it will automatically drill into the brain nerves that are most suitable for its survival and lurk there.

Until the mother Gu wakes up or is summoned by the Gu control bell.

It will then awaken spontaneously, control the body of the living, and be used by its master.

After all, in the plot book, there was a low-level spiritual weapon like the Soul-Exchange Jade, and the one who plotted against her was the son of the Duke of Fuguo, who had real power and military merit.
