After the interstellar female general died in battle, she transmigrated into the body of a dashing p

Zheng Zhian dodged and weaved, finally managing to stop and rest for a while. If it weren't for circulating his internal energy and combining it with the movement techniques his master had taught him, he probably would have been riddled with holes long ago.

The shadow guards in the shadows were unsure whether they should make a move, as they couldn't reveal themselves freely and be seen by others in the palace.

But the princess and the world definitely can't handle this situation. What should we do?

Twelve was also troubled. After thinking it over, she decided to send someone to tell the Emperor again.

There are so many people here, including high-ranking concubines from the palace...

"What are you all standing there for? Grab her!" Zheng Zijia roared, pointing at Zheng Zhian.

With Zheng Zibo holding Zheng Nianyun back, everyone around Zheng Zhian surrounded her. Two fists can't fight four hands, and in the end, she was pinned to the ground by several people working together.

Zheng Zhian couldn't help but curse in his heart; "I'm not going anywhere, is it really necessary?"

What did they take her for? They had to pin her to the ground.

Zheng Zijia stepped forward and kicked her hard in the stomach, looking down at her and saying, "Go ahead and run, why aren't you running anymore?"

Zheng Zhian instinctively clutched her stomach and arched her back, a murderous glint flashing in her eyes. In her previous life, whether before or after becoming the supreme commander, she had never been so disheveled. In this life, she had experienced everything she had never encountered in her previous life.

Seeing that she was about to kick, Jiang Yingying had no choice but to call out, "Jia'er."

Zheng Zijia stopped, smiling happily, and said, "Help her up."

She straightened her slightly disheveled clothes and looked at Zheng Zhian, who had been helped up. Apart from some dirt on her face, she remained as composed as ever. This was not what she wanted.

Zheng Zijia pinched her cheek with one hand, and said with a forced smile, "Why aren't you saying anything? Weren't you very talkative just now?"

Consort Yue watched this scene and thought that they were indeed mother and daughter. Zheng Zijia was just like Consort Li. The two siblings were twins and both inherited Consort Li's excellent appearance. But in terms of temperament, the Second Princess had learned her mother's traits perfectly.

slap~

"I'm asking you a question, are you mute?" Zheng Zijia slapped him across the face.

With her head turned to the left, Zheng Zhian's eyes grew increasingly deep and calm. Since she was now like meat on the chopping block, there was no point in saying more.

I just hope they take her life today.

Seeing that she remained silent, Zheng Zijia pinched her cheek and turned her back to look at him. For a moment, she felt a tremor in her heart, thinking that she had seen her father.

Get rid of the distracting thoughts in your mind.

slap~

She slapped him again, wanting this little bastard to feel the humiliation she had suffered when she was beaten.

"You're not going to talk, huh? Well, I'll..." She raised her hand as if to strike again.

"Stop!" A furious shout interrupted her actions.

Zheng Zhian looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Yuan Zhu. What was she doing here?

Looking at the little girl's swollen cheek, Yuan Zhu glared angrily at the bystander, "Is Consort Li just going to watch the Second Princess beat up the Eldest Princess like this?"

“Le’an has made a mistake and should be punished.” Jiang Yingying looked back at her coldly.

Even a nobleman who has been out of favor for many years wants to get involved.

Ah.

"Why punish He Cuo so severely? Even if she was wrong, the Second Princess shouldn't have been the one to do it. Besides, the punishment of Le'an should have been decided after consulting the Emperor. How could you deal with the legitimate princess?" Yuan Zhu didn't know what had happened. She only heard someone talking about this matter in the Imperial Garden and rushed over immediately.

Fortunately, they arrived in time; otherwise, the little guy would have been bullied terribly.

The two combatants over there also determined a winner. In the end, Zheng Nianyun's nail whip was knocked from his hand, and his neck was held by the tree tip in Zheng Zibo's hand.

Zheng Zijia stepped forward, picked up the spiked whip from the ground, and lashed it at Zheng Zhian. The eunuch who had been supporting her immediately let go and stepped back.

This was something no one expected. Yuan Zhu stopped wasting her breath and tried to rush forward to stop them, but Cui Rong had her men stop her.

She was momentarily held back, and Zheng Zhian took the whip hard. But before she could react, the whip was about to be lashed out again, straight at her face. She had never seen anyone so vicious at such a young age.

Zheng Zhian rolled to the right with all his might. Damn it, if I don't avenge this, I'm not a Zheng!

As the second lash came, she had already protected her head and prepared to take another blow, but unexpectedly a familiar figure descended from the sky and stood in front of her, blocking it for her.

Danqin used her ever-cleaned dagger to block the incoming whip, and in a few swift movements, she snatched the whip from her hand. Her bloodthirsty killing intent was undisguised as she stepped forward.

"Liu Danqin, how dare you kill the princess?!" Jiang Yingying saw her murderous intent and quickly stepped forward, the dagger piercing straight into her left chest, an inch above it.

Danqin stared at her with bloodshot eyes, her piercing voice slowly rising, "If there's a next time, I won't show any mercy." She pulled back her dagger and turned to check the little girl's injuries on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Zheng Hongyuan received a secret report from the Shadow Guards that the little guy had a conflict with Consort Li, but he never expected to see such a scene. He calmly glanced at everyone, and when he saw the little guy in Danqin's arms barely alive and the whips scattered around, his deep eyes became even more unfathomable.

Zheng Zhian's cheeks were swollen, and bright red blood stained the corners of her mouth. Her clothes were torn, and she lay in Danqin's arms with her eyelids drooping. Danqin kept her head down and didn't say a word, making the two of them look even more disheveled and pitiful.

The Emperor was always kind and never arbitrarily criticized others, but at this moment, the majesty he exuded instilled fear in everyone, making them afraid to even breathe. Only Consort Li dared to use his imperial favor to distort the truth.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, Danqin wants to kill me, she wants to kill me." Jiang Yingying leaned against Zheng Zijia, tears welling up in her eyes. Her charm was natural, beautiful but not vulgar. Now she looked even more frail as a willow. How many men in the world would not be captivated by her appearance?

She is confident in her appearance and knows how to maximize her strengths.

But she forgot that the man in front of her was the ruler of a country, the sovereign of all people.

"is it?"

......

Zheng Zhian fainted after seeing her father arrive. When she woke up again, she learned that Danqin and Yuanzhu had been accused of insubordination. Danqin was punished with a hundred strokes of the cane, and Yuanzhu was demoted to Zhaoyi and forced to copy the "Biographies of Exemplary Women" a hundred times in the palace.

Zheng Nianyun was simply sent back to the Prince's residence and was not punished.

He was explicitly forbidden from leaving Muyun Palace without imperial decree, which implied that he would be imprisoned for life.

On the other hand, at Baofan Palace, rewards were being sent in box after box, and rumors were circulating that the Emperor himself praised Consort Li for her virtue and had the grace of the Empress in her prime.

No one knows who spread this rumor or how it spread, but the truth is that the Empress's position is undoubtedly rightfully Consort Li's.

Zheng Zhian looked at Danqin, who was still full of energy despite having been beaten a hundred times, and asked, "How do you know so much? Didn't you say we couldn't go out?"

“You can’t go out, I’m not under house arrest.” He handed her the medicine bowl and continued, “I heard that Consort Yue did something in her palace today and accidentally scratched her face. The imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital went to see her, but they all shook their heads.”

“She was still scared.” Zheng Zhian tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

Danqin handed her the candied fruit, "What are you afraid of?" She didn't know much about what happened that day.

These past two days, because of that person from Baofan Palace, who has been in the limelight, no one dares to say anything about what happened that day.
