Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"Sister Xiaoyue, I swear, I'm not exaggerating!"

"When Brother Xingyu saw you faint, he was like an ant on the hot pot. He didn't even ride a horse, he just carried you and ran all the way to the imperial physician!"

Qi Lingbao thought Bai Yue didn't believe him, so he described the scene in detail again with his hands and feet dancing.

"Xiaobao, thank you for the live replay, but could you please stop talking? The hatred value is almost maxed out!"

Bai Yue looked at Yun Qingchen who was silent beside her and couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.

At this moment, the tent curtain was lifted again, and three more people walked into the tent.

Bai Yue did not recognize the man in the lead, but the two following him were none other than Old Lady Lin and Madam Qi from the Duke of Qi's Mansion, who sent her desserts every day.

"Mother! Grandma!"

When Qi Lingbao saw the two of them, he immediately rushed over like a little cannonball, threw himself into Madam Qi's arms and started to act coquettishly.

Madam Qi hugged Qi Lingbao tightly and said with worry in her eyes.

"Ling'er, I finally found you. Do you know how worried I was when I realized you were missing?"

"But I left a note saying Grandpa was taking me on the autumn hunt."

Qi Lingbao blinked in confusion, not understanding why his family was still so worried even though he had already explained the reason.

"Ling'er, who is the grandfather you mentioned who took you to the Autumn Hunt?"

Mrs. Lin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted.

"Mom, I'll explain this to you guys later, but there's one thing you must know right now. Ling'er was in danger today, and she almost lost her life..."

After saying that, the man walked up to Bai Yue and bowed respectfully.

"My name is Qi Mufeng. Thank you, Crown Princess Chenyun, for saving my son from danger once again!"

"Hey, Your Highness, why are you here?"

"Also, Mu Feng, you mentioned that Ling'er narrowly escaped an accident, and the Crown Princess saved his life. What exactly did you mean by that?"

After hearing what Qi Mufeng said, Mrs. Lin's face was full of astonishment.

"What? He almost lost his life? Ling'er, tell me what happened?"

When Mrs. Qi heard that her son was in danger again, she couldn't help but ask anxiously.

"It was Sister Qinghe. She went to bully Sister Xiaoyue today and even had her men capture me and force Sister Xiaoyue to kowtow and admit her fault!"

"Later, Sister Xiaoyue was almost knocked unconscious by drugs given to her by her men in order to save me. I pleaded with Sister Qinghe, telling her that I was the young master of the Duke of Qi's mansion and asked her to please not hurt Sister Xiaoyue again for my sake!"

"But but..."

Qi Lingbao started crying as if out of fear, his voice trembling a little.

"But Sister Qinghe kicked me hard and called me a little bastard. She ordered her servants to beat me to death and said that I'd better be reborn into a good family in my next life!"

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Qi Mufeng angrily slammed his fist on the ground, then he stood up suddenly with rage burning in his eyes.

"Mom, when I just went to argue with that fat guy Lin Shizhuo, do you know what he said?"

"He actually shamelessly argued that although his daughter had gone to pick a fight with Crown Princess Chenyun, it was just a verbal dispute. She definitely had never met Ling'er, let alone hurt him!"

"But our Ling'er has been honest and upright since childhood. How could he lie to others? Look at the bruises on his chest. They are clearly the marks left by someone kicking him!"

Before Qi Mufeng finished speaking, Mrs. Qi anxiously checked Qi Lingbao's body.

When she saw the large bruise, tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

"Ling'er, does it hurt? That evil woman Lin Qinghe, how dare she hurt my son so cruelly?"

Mrs. Qi caressed Qi Lingbao's chest with heartache, her voice trembling.

Seeing Madam Qi so sad, Qi Lingbao hurriedly comforted her softly.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. Luckily, the crane Sister Xiaoyue gave me protected me at the critical moment, so I only suffered some minor injuries. There's nothing else wrong with me."

As he spoke, he carefully took out the flattened crane from his arms.

"But it's such a pity that the crane that Sister Xiaoyue gave me has become like this."

There was a hint of regret on his face, as if he had lost an extremely precious treasure.

Mrs. Qi's eyes were slightly red. She walked quickly to Bai Yue, bowed deeply, and said in a trembling voice.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, your great kindness will be forever remembered by our Qi family. Thank you for using your magic to protect our son and saving him from danger time and time again."

"Mrs. Qi, you're too polite. Xiaobao encountered this situation entirely because of me. I should be the one apologizing to you!"

Seeing that Mrs. Qi was so polite, Bai Yue waved at her embarrassedly.

"Mom, I've always been tolerant of them because the Lin family is your maternal family, but now they've bullied my son, and I really can't stand it anymore!"

"Today, even if I no longer hold the title of Duke of Qi, I will teach that lawless Princess Qinghe a lesson and let her know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

Qi Mufeng said to Madam Lin with bloodshot eyes, and when Madam Lin saw the injuries Qi Lingbao had suffered, her face also became extremely solemn.

At this moment, Yun Qingchen suddenly looked at Qi Mufeng and said.

"May I ask Duke Qi, is Duke Lin playing dirty because he believes you lack solid evidence to prove Princess Qinghe injured someone?"

"Exactly! He actually said I was being unreasonable and that if it weren't for the fact that my mother was his aunt, he would probably accuse me of slandering the royal family."

Qi Mufeng clenched his fists and spoke through gritted teeth.

Yun Qingchen nodded slightly and pointed at the crane in Qi Lingbao's hand.

"Duke Qi, please take a look at this crane. You see, the shoe prints of the murderer are clearly imprinted on it."

"Also, this shoe print is quite unique. The lotus shape isn't the usual three round petals, but rather has thin spirals surrounding the petals! I wonder if the soles of Princess Qinghe's shoes were carved like this!"

"Yes, Lin Qinghe has always been proud of the spiral lotus petal soles of his shoes, saying that only the Duke of Lin's Mansion could have such exquisite craftsmen!"

Mrs. Qi returned to Qi Lingbao's side, picked up the crane in his hand, looked at it carefully, and said in a harsh voice.

"Really? Let me see!"

Just when Qi Mufeng went to Madam Qi to confirm the footprints on the crane.

Bai Yue quickly came to Yun Qingchen and praised him highly.

"Qingchen, you are so amazing. Even details like this can't escape your keen eyes! My admiration for you is like a surging river, endless..."

"Alright, alright. Even if I didn't point it out, you already have the answer in your heart, right? I noticed that ever since Duke Qi said there was no evidence, you've been glancing at that crane!"

Yun Qingchen raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile while looking at Bai Yue.

"Qingchen, are you hinting to me that you've been paying attention to my every move and expression?"

When Bai Yue saw Yun Qingchen smile, she asked back playfully.

Yun Qingchen didn't say anything when he heard this. He lowered his eyes slightly, and his deep eyes seemed to hide endless secrets.

"Thank you, Prince Chenyun, for the reminder! I'm going to confront that fat guy Lin Shizhuo right now!"

Qi Mufeng held the straw crane and bowed to Yun Qingchen in gratitude.

"Dad, I want to go too!"

"Now that Sister Xiaoyue has woken up, I'm relieved. Now I must go and find out why that wicked princess bullied Sister Xiaoyue!"

Qi Lingbao's face was puffed up with anger, as if he was speaking up for Bai Yue.

"Okay, let's go!"

Qi Mufeng picked up Qi Lingbao and was about to leave when Mrs. Lin suddenly said

"Stop right there, both of you!"

"Mom, are you going to protect the Lin family again?"

Qi Mufeng couldn't help but speak angrily when he heard what Madam Lin said.

But Madam Lin ignored him and just walked up to Yun Qingchen and bowed.

"The Lin family of the Qi Mansion greets His Royal Highness Crown Prince Chenyun!"

"His Royal Highness is truly as legendary as the rumors say, peerless and stunning, like a deity descended to earth!"

"That's exactly what mother said!"

Madam Qi also followed closely and walked to Madam Lin's side. After her eyes moved over Bai Yue for a while, she smiled and said.

"The Crown Princess and His Royal Highness are truly a perfect match. I wonder when their little fairy child will be born into the world?"

"Ah, this, this is in progress, we will work hard!"

Bai Yue said a little embarrassedly.

"If Your Highness needs any nourishing food, we at the Duke of Qi's Mansion will do our best to provide you with the best!"

Mrs. Qi's words were full of sincerity and enthusiasm.

"This is indeed unnecessary. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already very powerful, so there is no need for nourishment!"

“Very impressive…”

Everyone in the field fell silent because of Bai Yue's words, while Qi Lingbao looked at Qi Mufeng in confusion and asked.

"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince very powerful? What makes him so powerful?"

"Hey, Ling'er, I'll tell you this when you grow up!"

After Qi Mufeng coughed awkwardly, he spoke anxiously to Madam Lin.

"Mom, what should I do now? Are you not going to let me go to the Lin family to settle the score?"

"Your Highness, Crown Prince and Crown Princess, I thank you both again for taking care of my precious grandson. Right now, we at the Duke of Qi's Mansion have some urgent household chores to attend to!"

"If you two don't mind, please rest here for a while. Once I finish these trivial matters, I will definitely express my deep gratitude to you two."

Then she turned to Mrs. Qi beside her and spoke in a firm tone.

"Zijun, go get my gauze hat. I want to go to Duke Lin's place with Feng'er."

"What? Mom, you want to go too?"

Qi Mufeng and Madam Qi exclaimed in surprise in unison, obviously shocked by Madam Lin's decision.

Qi Lingbao clapped his hands happily and said with excitement in his eyes.

"That's great! If grandma goes, my uncle will be scared as a quail!"

"Mom, have you really made up your mind?"

Qi Mufeng stared at Madam Lin, his tone revealing deep concern.

Madam Lin nodded, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

"Feng'er, over the years, they have been doing whatever they want, and I have always chosen to turn a blind eye, thinking that this would buy me a little peace."

"But today, they actually dared to hurt my Ling'er. I absolutely cannot tolerate this!"

She looked at Qi Mufeng with a warm and determined smile on her face.

"Feng'er, over the years, I know that because of mother, you have endured many unnecessary constraints and difficulties."

"From now on, you no longer need to consider your mother. You can do what you want according to your own wishes."

When Qi Mufeng and Madam Lin were immersed in the deep mother-son love, a sudden noise was heard outside the tent, as fierce as a storm.

"Mu Feng, I've brought all the people to you. With just one order from you, we'll immediately raze Duke Lin's camp and turn it into ruins!"

Chu Lingyun rushed into the house with a spear in his hand like a lion.

However, the moment he caught a glimpse of Madam Lin, he seemed to be shocked by an invisible force. He quickly put his spear aside, bowed respectfully and said.

"Mrs. Lin, I'm fine."

"Lord Chu, Lord Qi, we brothers are all waiting outside. We will set off as soon as you give the order!"

At this time, a bearded general rushed into the tent, waving a sword.

But when he met Madam Lin's gaze, he immediately suppressed his hostility, put his sword aside steadily, and called out respectfully.

"Mrs. Lin is well!"

Afterwards, more than a dozen generals rushed into the tent, holding various weapons and looking as aggressive as a group of tigers coming down the mountain.

However, when they stepped into the tent and saw Madam Lin there, they all dropped their weapons like tamed wild beasts and saluted Madam Lin respectfully.

"I wonder what it is that you generals are doing, wearing armor and holding swords?"

Madam Lin looked at the generals in front of her and asked with a serious expression.

Everyone in the room looked at each other, and finally Chu Lingyun stepped forward, looked directly at Madam Lin, and spoke in a firm and powerful voice.

"Madam Lin, I, Chu Lingyun, always speak directly. Please don't be offended!"

"Mu Feng, he is my brother, as close as a brother, and Ling'er, I treat as my own nephew. Now, my nephew has been bullied. As his uncle, how can I sit back and watch without seeking justice for him and venting my anger?"

"Old lady!"

The bearded general who had just appeared also stood up and spoke indignantly.

"Although Duke Lin is your nephew, the young master is also your grandson. Can you bear to watch your grandson being bullied and remain indifferent?"

"That's right! That's right!"

The tent was in an uproar, with the generals' voices rising and falling.

"We must find that unruly Princess Qinghe and teach her a lesson to vent the young master's anger!"

"Yes, if that Duke Lin dares to interfere, we'll teach him a lesson as well! lest that bloated fellow continue to do evil and bring disaster to the world!"

Chu Lingyun's words were like a fire, igniting the atmosphere in the tent.

Amidst the crowd's outrage, the bearded general suddenly pointed at Bai Yue and shouted.

"Oh, Lord Chu, isn't this the girl your young master just held in his arms?"
