The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

The person who had been ordered to enter the palace to see Consort Liu was a close attendant of Liu Zihao. Upon hearing Consort Liu's words, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Please, Your Highness, have mercy and save my eldest son!"

Upon hearing this, Consort Liu's hand holding the teacup trembled, and the teacup fell to the ground, instantly shattering into pieces, with tea splashing everywhere.

A first-class palace maid serving Consort Liu stepped forward instantly and slapped the attendant across the face: "What are you saying in such a panicked and nonsensical manner? What do you mean by 'save the eldest young master'? Quickly tell the Consort the truth!"

His attendant was slapped by a palace maid, and he covered his face with one hand, too afraid to speak.

Consort Liu slammed her hand on the table: "My brother summoned you to the palace today to request an audience with me. What exactly happened? Tell me the whole story! Otherwise, I'll cut out your tongue!"

Upon hearing this, the attendant immediately kowtowed: "Your Highness, please spare us! It was the Heir Apparent and the Duke who sent me to the palace to find you. Today, the eldest son of the Duke's mansion bullied everyone at the Royal Academy and was even caught by Dean Feng. Dean Feng sent someone to invite the Duke and the Heir Apparent to the Academy. The Duke asked Your Highness to go before His Majesty to plead for the eldest son!"

Consort Liu, a master of palace intrigue, immediately grasped the key point upon hearing this: "Tell me, what happened to the eldest son? Who did he quarrel with? And who was the other party?"

The attendant glanced up at Consort Liu, then immediately lowered his head. "Your Highness, I am unaware of the situation because the people from Heshi Academy did not mention it. However, I heard from the Duke and the Heir Apparent that the person our eldest son bullied was Li Liujin, the Heir Apparent of the Prince of Huainan. I heard... I heard..."

"What? Has he lost his mind? Daring to mess with the powerful? Doesn't he know that Li Liujin is the eldest grandson of the Princess of Huainan? And you just said you heard, heard what?"

The attendant lowered his head even further: "I heard that our young master also beat up the young master of the Prince of Huainan's mansion, and almost pushed him down the steps of the academy's pavilion. Fortunately, he was saved by the headmaster's guards and is out of danger!"

Upon hearing this, Consort Liu swept all the tea sets off the table: "Damn it! It's one thing for him to act like a tyrant at home and do whatever he wants, but what kind of place is the Royal Academy? How can we allow him to run wild there!"

Consort Liu's personal maid, Lanzhi, stepped forward and whispered, "Your Highness, please calm down. This is not the time to be angry. No matter how bad the eldest son is, he is still your nephew. Even if you are only thinking of the Duke of Dingguo and the heir, as his aunt, you cannot just stand by and watch him die."

Moreover, the Duke of Dingguo's mansion and we are in the same boat. If Your Highness does nothing now and disappoints the Duke, he will surely hold a grudge, which would be detrimental to our Prince!

Consort Liu took a deep breath after hearing Lanzhi's words. She looked at the attendants below and said, "Go back and tell my brother and father that I will plead with His Majesty for mercy, but the outcome depends entirely on His Majesty's mood!"

"Who told them to offend the grandson of the Eldest Princess? To save his worthless life, they must find a way to gain the forgiveness of the young master of the Prince of Huainan's mansion. Otherwise, even if His Majesty intervenes, he'll be severely injured, if not killed!"

Upon hearing Consort Liu's words, the attendant quickly kowtowed and then crawled out of the palace.

At the Duke of Huguo's mansion, Xiao Yi and Madam Chu were about to have their meal when a gatekeeper came to report that someone from the palace had arrived.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Madam Chu: "Could it be? Could it be that something happened to Yun'er?"

Chu glared at Xiao Yi: "Pah, pah, pah! Bad things don't work, good things do."

Xiao Yi also spat, "It's all my fault for saying the wrong thing. Yun'er is so capable, she'll definitely be fine. Maybe His Majesty summoned her. Why don't you come with me to see him?"

Chu nodded and went to the main hall with Xiao Yi. They saw that the person who came was Li Deshan, who was sitting in the living room having tea and showed no signs of discomfort.

Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said with a smile, "Steward Li, it's been a long time. What brings you here today? Does His Majesty have any orders?"

Li Deshan glanced at the servants in the hall but did not speak.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi understood and said, "You may all leave now."

The servants in the hall left in response, and Xiao Yi then came to the main seat: "Chief Steward Li, please speak frankly. There are no outsiders here. Does His Majesty have any orders?"

Li Deshan nodded and then shook his head, slowly saying, "I am here on His Majesty's orders to inform the Duke of Huguo that your grandson has been bullied!"

"What? Yun'er has been bullied? No way! I must go to the palace immediately and request permission to go to the Southern Frontier. I'll kill him!" Xiao Yi slammed his hand on the table and stood up to leave.

Chu grabbed him, saying, "You old fool, are you stuffing donkey hair in your ears? Didn't you hear Steward Li say that someone is bullying our grandson, grandson! Not granddaughter!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, so it's your grandson, not Yun'er, that's good!"

As soon as Xiao Yi finished speaking, Chu grabbed his ear and said, "You old hag! Even if you favor girls over boys, there should be a limit! Isn't our grandson our own grandson? Ajin was bullied, and you didn't even think to stand up for him, but instead you're making sarcastic remarks here!"

Xiao Yi then realized, "Oh right, grandson? Does that mean Ajin was bullied? Old woman, let go! I was just momentarily distracted and didn't realize what was happening!"

"Guards! Go and inform the steward to gather all the guards in the manor, bring their weapons, and let's see which blind bastard dares to mess with me! Who dares to bully my grandson! I'm just old, not dead!"

Madam Chu glanced at Li Deshan and stopped Xiao Yi: "Shut up, let Steward Li finish speaking first."

Seeing that the usually imposing Duke of Huguo was actually henpecked, Li Deshan couldn't help but chuckle. He slowly said, "Duke, Duchess, don't worry. The young prince is not injured, but His Majesty is very angry because the person who bullied the young prince is the eldest grandson of the Duke of Dingguo's family."

The eldest grandson of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion is causing trouble for our young heir because of his outstanding academic performance, consistently ranking first in every exam. They even claim that our young heir got his top grades through connections with the Prince of Pingnan!

When His Majesty heard this, he almost overturned the Imperial Study, saying that a mere grandson of the Duke of Dingguo's family had dared to bully his son's brother-in-law while his son was away!

However, His Majesty could not intervene in this matter, so he sent a servant to inform the Duke of Protectorate that although the Princess was of noble status, she was still a member of the royal family, and if he took action, it would inevitably invite gossip.

His Majesty also said that the Duke of Protectorate and the Duke of Dingguo are of similar rank and age, so if they were to fight, it wouldn't be considered bullying. His Majesty added that even in a fight, there's a proper balance of social standing!
