In the past, they could only swallow their anger in the face of the Hao family's tyranny, but now someone has stood up to criticize them. On the one hand, they want to watch the fun, but on the other hand, they want to take the opportunity to settle personal grudges and vent their anger.

The crowd grew larger and larger, and the discussions became louder and louder. Everyone spoke one after another, venting their dissatisfaction with the Hao family.

Hao Shiyin stood there, her face turning extremely ugly. She didn't expect things to develop to this point, and she was a little at a loss for a moment.

Hao Shiyin opened her mouth, wanting to say something to save the situation or defend herself.

Xiaofan no longer wanted to continue to entangle with her.

He thought to himself that Su Yue hadn't had a good rest for a long time, and there was no need to waste time on these troublesome things.

So, Xiao Fan took out the badge that symbolized his status as the prince from his waist without hesitation.

In an instant, someone around recognized it and exclaimed, "It's the prince's badge!"

As soon as this voice was shouted, someone took the lead and the surrounding people quickly knelt down and shouted in unison: "Greetings to the Prince!"

Hao Shiyin widened her eyes and looked at Xiaofan in disbelief. Her mind was blank. She never imagined that he was actually the prince.

She frantically searched for information about Xiao Fan in her mind, trying to figure out why she had never seen or heard of this prince.

Just as she was still struggling with her chaotic thoughts, Xiao Fan stepped forward, looked down at her, and said coldly: "Why, this prince is not worthy of Miss Hao's kneeling?"

Xiaofan's voice seemed to carry the chill of winter, causing Hao Shiyin to shiver.

Her face turned pale in an instant and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

At this moment, her heart was filled with fear and regret, knowing that she had caused a big disaster this time.

Hao Shiyin was still in a daze. Her brain seemed to be turned into a mess by this sudden change, and she had no idea how to deal with it.

At this moment, her husband gently tugged at the corner of her clothes, and she came back to her senses as if awakened from a dream. Her body softened and she knelt down reluctantly to salute.

But at this moment, she knew very well that she had made a big mistake, so she didn't dare to say another word. She just lowered her head and didn't dare to breathe.

Xiao Fan looked at Hao Shiyin expressionlessly, his eyes filled with majesty and indifference: "Miss Hao, what you did today, I need the Minister of Revenue to give me an explanation."

The tone was firm and unquestionable. After he finished speaking, he no longer looked at Hao Shiyin, as if looking at her any longer would dirty his eyes.

Then, Xiao Fan turned around, the sternness on his face instantly turned into tenderness, and he immediately said to Su Yue: "Sister, let's go home."

Su Yue nodded gently, and her eyes took one last look at Hao Shiyin before she stopped looking.

Shen Yunyan held Su Yue's hand tightly, protected her carefully, and walked forward step by step.

The crowd around them automatically made way for them, and Su Yue, accompanied by Shen Yunyan, followed Xiao Fan into the carriage.

The carriage started slowly and gradually moved away from this place of trouble.

Hao Shiyin remained kneeling there until the carriage disappeared from her sight. Then she collapsed to the ground as if exhausted, her heart filled with fear and worry about the future.

Among the powerful class in Mingxi Kingdom, Hao Shiyin's mother won the favor of the Queen by virtue of certain means and opportunities.

No matter how profound this grace is, there are insurmountable limits.

Imperial power is supreme and its majesty cannot be violated. It is like a mountain that reaches the clouds, standing at the pinnacle of power, overlooking everything in the world.

No matter how favored or powerful the ministers were, they had to lower their proud heads before the imperial power and abide by the established rules and order.

Hao Shiyin usually relies on her mother's favor to act arrogantly and recklessly in Beijing.

But when she really faced Xiaofan, who represented the imperial power, she realized as if she had just woken up from a dream that her mother's favor was nothing but a cloud and could not compete with the imperial power at all.

Even if her mother has a certain influence in the court, and even if she can get the Queen's favor in some small matters, once the bottom line of imperial power is touched, she will lose all protection in an instant.

Because imperial power is absolute authority and the cornerstone of the stability of the entire country, no one is allowed to challenge or usurp it in any form.

In this huge imperial machine, everyone has his or her own position and role, and imperial power is the core force that controls everything.

Anyone who attempts to surpass his position will be severely punished.

As soon as Su Yue got on the carriage, her three husbands immediately surrounded her, looking nervous and concerned.

Shangguan Haochen spoke first: "Sister, are you hurt?"

Shangguan Haomu also immediately echoed: "Yes, let's take a look."

Su Yue looked at their nervous faces and couldn't help laughing: "What could happen to me? Didn't you see me killing everyone just now?"

Mu Feng took Su Yue's hand and examined it carefully, frowning and saying, "How can you do this so easily? What if she reacts and hurts you?"

Su Yue looked at her palm, which was no different from usual. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch. She said helplessly: "You are exaggerating too much. I am fine."

The three husbands were still worried and kept looking at her.

Su Yue continued indifferently, "As long as a woman can beat a woman, no matter how powerful Xiaofan is, the most he can do is punish her or retaliate behind her back. But I'm different. I can beat her directly."

After saying this, he raised his head with a look of seeking praise, his eyes full of pride and mischief.

Shangguan Haochen hugged Su Yue's arm and scolded her, "You only know how to act tough. If something really happens to you, what will we do?"

Shen Yunyan also shook his head: "Yuer, don't be so impulsive in the future."

But Su Yue didn't care and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. This time it's fine."

Mu Feng sighed and said helplessly: "You always make me worry like this."

Although they said this, their eyes were full of love and tolerance for Su Yue.

Su Yue listened to the four husbands' chattering, but her heart seemed to be wrapped in a warm current, full of happiness.

As soon as her tense nerves relaxed, she began to yawn one after another, and sleepiness came over her like a tide.

Shangguan Haomu saw this and immediately held Su Yue in his arms gently, saying softly, "Yuer, we still have a while to go home, you should take a rest."

Su Yue no longer tried to be stubborn at this time. She was really tired. She nodded gently, then leaned in Shangguan Haomu's arms and closed her eyes.

Almost instantly, her breathing became steady and long, and she soon fell asleep.
