Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

Chapter 37: Sometimes good people have to take action

"Tsk, go ahead and ask! I want to see what kind of ridiculous sophistry you can come up with!"

Princess Qinghe snorted lightly, with a hint of disdain on the corner of her mouth.

"The story goes like this. There was a petty thief who, taking advantage of the dark night and strong wind, felt itchy and stole someone else's property! Unexpectedly, the law's net is vast and nothing escapes it. He was quickly caught and handed over to the authorities."

"Just as the authorities were about to convict him, the petty thief suddenly cried out in innocence, saying it was all the victim's fault and had nothing to do with him. It was simply because the victim was wealthy and always liked to show off his house full of gold and silver that his greed got the better of him, leading to this disaster."

"After hearing what the thief said, the government actually thought he made sense. Not only did they pardon his crime, but they also ordered the victim to pay the thief a sum of gold and silver as compensation for the mental humiliation he suffered."

"Princess, do you think the government's verdict is right? Was that thief innocent and wronged, or did he deserve the punishment he received for his crime?"

Bai Yue asked with a smile on her lips while looking at Princess Qinghe. When the other party heard this, her eyebrows immediately raised and she said angrily.

"Hmph, is there even a need to ask? That official is clearly a fool! Stealing is wrong, so why would they care about your reasons for stealing?"

"And what does the victim's possessions have to do with the thief's theft? This is a classic case of putting the cart before the horse and confusing right and wrong!"

After hearing this, Bai Yue smiled and nodded, then began to tell another anecdote.

"A beautiful lady was out for a stroll when she was unlucky enough to be flirted with by a street rogue. Fortunately, a chivalrous and courageous man stepped forward and not only stopped the rogue's evil deeds but also brought him to justice, bringing him to justice at the government office."

"Unexpectedly, in court, the scoundrel cried out in injustice, claiming that he had not molested the beautiful woman at all, but that she had deliberately led him astray with her stunning beauty and elaborate attire, causing him to lose control of his emotions and thus commit such an abrupt act!"

"And the official who was judging the case was deceived by the rogue's sophistry, thinking that what he said made sense. So he charged the beautiful woman with a crime of violating morals and even forced her to marry him!"

"Princess, do you think the government's verdict is correct? Is this scoundrel truly innocent?"

After hearing this, Princess Qinghe frowned and spoke angrily.

"This government ruling is absolutely ridiculous! We women dress up to please ourselves. Is it our fault that we are naturally beautiful?"

"That scoundrel harbored evil thoughts and tried to shift the blame onto the woman's beauty. The government's verdict is sheer foolishness!"

"If I were there, I would beat the officials who made the judgments to pieces, so that their stupid brains would open up and stop making such ridiculous judgments!"

"Oh, the princess's insightful words are truly enlightening. They have opened my eyes. If the princess embarks on a career in government, it will be a blessing for all the people!"

Bai Yue's voice was like the morning bell and evening drum, and she also respectfully bowed to Princess Qinghe, but the other party showed disdain, obviously thinking that the question raised by Bai Yue was too simple.

"Since you, my princess, are well versed in the ways of the world, I dare to ask you one more question: how is your action today, injuring the young master and even attempting to take his life, any different from a thief stealing property or a scoundrel bullying a woman? Why do you punish others harshly for their misdeeds, yet feel at ease when you commit the same offense yourself?"

Bai Yue changed the subject and looked directly at Princess Qinghe and asked loudly. Every word she said was powerful and every sentence was shocking.

Princess Qinghe was caught off guard by this sudden questioning, and she stammered.

"This...this is because he helped you..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Bai Yue.

"The young master was willing to help me out of kindness. I don't understand how this kindness can become an excuse for you, Princess, to hurt him."

Bai Yue's words were sharp, and his tone was full of unquestionableness.

"This this……"

Princess Qinghe was completely speechless at this time, so she anxiously asked for help from the civil officials in the back.

"Hey, don't you all always claim to be knowledgeable and talented? Now why don't you step out and have a good argument with this woman?"

After hearing this, the civil officials just looked at each other, but no one responded in the end. After all, everything Bai Yue said made sense, and Princess Qinghe's behavior was indeed wrong. It was really difficult for them to defend her.

When the military generals saw that the civil officials had quieted down, their morale was greatly boosted. They all echoed the voices, and their voices became louder and louder.

"Little Poet! You asked such a good question. Hey, Lin Qinghe, how dare you argue now?"

"That's right! If you don't admit your mistakes to the Little Poet and the Young Master today, we won't be polite. We will definitely show you how powerful we are!"

"That's right, stop fussing and kowtow and admit your mistake!"

The roars of the generals echoed in the open space like thunder, and Princess Qinghe's face was ashen at this moment. Suddenly, she seemed to understand something and said to the generals.

"Alright, I want to see how much of your so-called abilities you possess! Come on, don't just talk the talk, step forward if you're brave enough, and let me feel the power of your fists!"

Princess Qinghe now looked like she was ready to fight to the death. She put her hands on her hips, glared at the generals like a lioness, and her words were full of provocation.

"If you are really capable, then just knock me to the ground. I want to see how the great generals of our Wulie Kingdom will target the weak women of their own country instead of foreign enemies."

"If anyone dares to touch me, I will spread the word about that person's heroic deeds. By then, I'm afraid the people of Wulie will be amazed and praise the general's 'majesty' as truly unique!"

When Princess Qinghe said this, the generals were all embarrassed. After all, they could raze Duke Lin's mansion to the ground and even beat up Lin Shizhuo, but facing a girl like Princess Qinghe, they really found it difficult to do anything.

"And you, you ungrateful brat! Who is more important, my cousin, or that vixen? You've been protecting her since just now. I really hate that I didn't kick you softly back then!"

Princess Qinghe looked at Qi Lingbao with her eyes wide open and cursed him, scaring him so much that he quickly hid behind Bai Yue, fearing that Princess Qinghe would really take action.

"And you, vixen! What kind of drug did you give these men to make them so obedient to you that they completely disregard me, the princess!"

"Could it be that you used your beauty to please others and deceived everyone with those despicable means? Humph, a bitch is a bitch. Besides your eloquence, what else can you do?"

Princess Qinghe's eyes were full of disdain as she glanced at Bai Yue with contempt. These words were like sparks that instantly ignited the powder keg at the scene.

"Shut up! You rude girl, watch your mouth! Princess Baiyue is not only the Crown Princess of Chenyun, but also the noble princess of Baihua Country. How can you insult her like this!"

Qi Mufeng could no longer bear it and stood up to speak up for Bai Yue.

"Oh? Princess Baihua, sounds like quite a name. So, Your Highness, do you dare to touch a hair on my head? I've been so presumptuous, yet you remain indifferent. Are you afraid of my status as Princess Qinghe?"

Princess Qinghe looked at Bai Yue provocatively, with a smug gleam in her eyes.

But Bai Yue looked at her expressionlessly, with no intention of talking to her at all.

"Haha, it seems that under the watchful eyes of the public, even the Crown Princess of Chenyun is afraid to act. After all, if you take action, the peace between Wu Lie and Wen Qu may be destroyed!"

"A mere hostage concubine, you dare challenge me, the Princess of Qinghe? Listen carefully, either you slap me today and let me learn how powerful you are, or I will teach you what it means to be humble under someone's roof!"

Princess Qinghe raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, but seeing that Bai Yue remained calm, she immediately shouted in frustration.

"Since the Crown Princess is unwilling to do it, then I have no choice but to do it for you..."

"Hey, player, you don't really want to be beaten by this woman!"

Just when Princess Qinghe was provoking Bai Yue, the little 1 in her mind suddenly asked.

"Ah? Do you think she can stop me? I'm just waiting for her to strike first, and then I'll throw her out. After all, a fight has to have a legitimate reason!"

Bai Yue said this to Xiao 1 indifferently, and the other party couldn't help but sigh when he heard it.

"How terrifying! I didn't expect you to be such a calculating player!"

Just as Bai Yue and Xiao 1 were communicating in their minds, Princess Qinghe had already raised her hand, and Bai Yue was ready to fight back.

"stop!"

An old woman's shout exploded in the air like thunder. Princess Qinghe, who was about to take action, was frightened and shuddered. Then she saw Madam Lin, carefully supported by Madam Qi, slowly walking into everyone's sight.

"Great-aunt?"

Princess Qinghe was overjoyed when she saw Old Madam Lin. After all, she was also a member of the Lin family. She felt that Old Madam Lin must have come to help her.

But as soon as she stepped forward, a loud slap landed accurately on her cheek. Before she could react, Madam Lin said in a deep voice.

"I'm using this slap to avenge Crown Princess Chenyun! You've caused trouble for no reason and even slandered the Crown Princess with evil words. Today, I'm using this slap to resolve your grudge. I hope you'll be more careful with your words and actions in the future and practice more virtuous speech!"

"Aunt... great aunt..."

Princess Qinghe was stunned by the sudden slap, but before she could finish her words, she was slapped even harder, which made her eyes go black and she almost couldn't stand.

"This blow is to seek justice for my innocent and wronged Ling'er! Not only did you inflict harm on my grandson, but you also show no remorse at all. Instead, you confuse right and wrong and place the blame on others. You are truly despicable!"

After saying this, Madam Lin let out a long breath, then she turned to face everyone, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

"Crown Princess Chenyun, my lords, I've already slapped Princess Qinghe twice, which is considered to be a way of venting your anger. So I hope that you will, for my sake, let her go today and let her be..."

Before Madam Lin could finish her words, Princess Qinghe suddenly appeared in front of her, pointing at her nose and cursing.

"Hmph, you stinky old woman, how dare you lay hands on me! My father is right, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. I think you've already forgotten your own name and only help outsiders bully your own flesh and blood!"

Princess Qinghe's face was now ferocious, with rage burning in her eyes. She looked as if she wanted to eat Madam Lin alive.

"Qinghe, shut up! What nonsense are you talking about? How can you be so rude to my great aunt?"

Lin Shizhuo was horrified when he heard Lin Qinghe's words, but Princess Qinghe was already furious and would not listen to any advice. She pointed at Old Madam Lin and continued to curse without restraint.

"The reason your son was able to inherit the title was because of the Queen Mother's protection. But instead of being grateful, he's always been hostile to our Lin family. He simply doesn't take us seriously!"

"And your precious grandson, at such a young age, has been bewitched by a hostage concubine and won't even help me, his cousin. It's really like the top beam is crooked and the bottom beam is crooked. I think the root of all this is you, the traitorous daughter of the Lin family!"

"Snapped!"

Another crisp slap was heard, and Princess Qinghe was obviously shaken by this sudden blow. When she came to her senses, she found that it was Bai Yue who attacked her, so she screamed like a madman.

"You crazy woman, how dare you actually hit me!"

"Yeah, you crazy player, why did you actually hit her?"

At this time, Xiao 1 also screamed in Bai Yue's mind. The tone of his voice clearly showed that he wondered if Bai Yue was having a seizure. Why did he suddenly become so uncalm?

"Where's your promise of being cunning and scheming? Where's your promise of not leaving any evidence? It's only been a few minutes since you agreed, and you've already changed your mind!"

At this time, Xiao 1 completely turned into a complaining demon, but Bai Yue did not answer, but just made a request out loud.

"Xiao 1, exchange a bottle of fast-acting heart pills for me immediately! I want the best results, right now!"

"Quick-acting heart-saving pills, 500 points! Seriously, are you going to have a heart attack just because I complained about you a few times?"

Although Xiao 1 said this, he was still very efficient. In the blink of an eye, an exquisite medicine bottle appeared in Bai Yue's hand.

After getting the medicine, Bai Yue immediately rushed to Madam Lin's side, only to see that she was covering her chest with her hands, with pain on her face.

Bai Yue didn't hesitate at all. She quickly poured out a dozen pills from the bottle and quickly put them between the old lady's trembling lips. Then she helped the old lady sit slowly on the ground and spoke softly to Madam Lin.

"Old Madam, please slowly swallow the pill I just put in your mouth, then follow my rhythm, take a deep breath, exhale slowly, and let your heart slowly calm down."
