Absolutely did not expect Young Master Su to stick up for his sister.
This brother’s love for his sister is truly remarkable.
She only gave the Beimo Princess and Princess Shouning a little concoction to make them weak all over.
As long as they stop bothering her, it’s fine.
Now that they’re getting hit by stones, they don’t have any room to fight back.
Su Jin stopped in her tracks, silently watching the stones hit Beimo Princess and Princess Shouning without missing a beat.
In the distance, at the pavilion.
The Beimo Princess was picking a fight with Su Jin.
When the palace maid reported, Consort Li was about to get up to help Su Jin.
Just as she was about to rise, the Empress stopped her. "Today is the day to welco the Beimo envoys. Although Beimo suffered a defeat, the situation is different now."
"The King Beimo is still locked up in the Ministry of Justice Prison. The Beimo Princess won’t be completely reckless."
"As a consort, is it appropriate for you to intervene?"
Consort Li reluctantly sat back down.
Soon after, a palace maid reported that the Beimo Princess and Princess Shouning were being beaten.
The Empress was eager to stand up, but Consort Li held her hand, returning the Empress’s previous words to her unchanged.
The Empress was so angry that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys ached.
She threw Consort Li’s hand away and hurriedly left the pavilion.
Consort Li was in a great mood.
The Princess Consort Zhenbei was indeed invincible in battle; her words were not empty.
Seeing the Empress approaching, Young Master Su put away his slingshot and turned to run.
The Empress angrily commanded, "Bring them to !"
Several eunuchs chased after Young Master Su and his friends.
The Ninth Prince was a bit anxious. "It’s over, we’re going to get whipped this ti!"
"Run!" Young Master Su shouted.
They ran with all their might.
Several eunuchs pursued relentlessly.
But Young Master Su ran to the Imperial Study.
The eunuchs didn’t dare to go further.
They were frequent visitors to the Imperial Study.
Before eting Young Master Su, the Ninth Prince had never been to the Imperial Study.
After moving out of the palace, he returned regularly to greet the Emperor, earning ample face ti with him.
Eunuch Fu treated him well, and no palace maids or eunuchs dared to look down on a young prince.
The three of them didn’t enter the Imperial Study.
After all, they had beaten Princess Shouning, who was the Emperor’s daughter.
They just sat on the threshold in front of the Imperial Study.
Sweating and panting heavily.
The distant eunuchs dared neither to advance nor retreat, fearing a scolding from the Empress for not catching them.
Although the Princess Consort Zhenbei had received a whip, Princess Shouning and Beimo Princess’s public downfall was utterly disgraceful.
They rubbed salt in the wound.
A few stones would have been excusable, but they threw as many as they could. How could they do that?
Eunuch Fu ca over and smiled, "Why are you sitting here?"
"We ran too fast just now, and it’s cold in the Imperial Study. My mother told us not to go in directly, saying we’d get sick," Young Master Su said.
"So we’re taking a rest here."
Eunuch Fu was exasperated.
They certainly knew how to pick a place to rest.
At this ti, it was supposed to be ti for the banquet. Weren’t they blocking the Emperor’s path?
The Emperor ca over, and Young Master Su quickly got up to make way.
The little ones followed behind the Emperor.
The Emperor’s mouth twitched.
Several eunuchs were about to co over to complain.
Young Master Su tugged on the Emperor’s Dragon Robe and asked, "Emperor, Emperor, if soone bullies my sister, isn’t it my duty as a brother to help her?"
"Who would be so unwise to bully your sister?" the Emperor asked with a smile.
"... ."
"What if soone really didn’t know better?" Young Master Su said.
"If an elder sister is bullied, it’s right for the younger brother to help," the Emperor said.
The eunuchs ca forward, just in ti to hear this sentence.
They quickly turned around and walked away.
The Emperor said it was proper, so what could a complaint achieve?
They might end up getting punished instead.
Seeing them walk away, Young Master Su let go and smoothed out the Emperor’s Dragon Robe, "Emperor, walk slowly; we’re off to play."
They had been following closely, but now they were off just like that.
The Emperor felt sothing was amiss.
But without further thought, how could the Emperor imagine that Marquis Dongxiang’s son, at such a young age, was capable of setting a trap for him?
He remained in that trap, with a good mood.
Once they were far away, the Ninth Prince looked at Young Master Su and said, "I can’t believe you asked my father like that."
"By asking that way, your father can answer calmly," Young Master Su said.
"If I told your father outright that we hit Princess Shouning and Beimo Princess, he would definitely be angry."
"My father said that when people are emotional, they tend to be irrational and make wrong judgnts and decisions."
"It’s the sa situation, but the choices made with a good mood versus a bad mood are different."
In the Imperial Garden, inside the pavilion.
Princess Shouning and Beimo Princess sat there.
Their faces were bruised and swollen, looking quite miserable.
They didn’t dare to cry out in pain.
Because it was their own doing.
Su Jin had already deliberately avoided them, yet they kept approaching her.
This was a well-known fact.
Princess Shouning looked at the Empress and said, "Mother, the Princess Consort Zhenbei must have poisoned us; that’s why we couldn’t muster any strength."
Su Jin stood in the pavilion, looking innocent and said, "Even though you’re a princess, and this is the Imperial Palace."
"You just had a terrible fall, but everything needs evidence."
"So many people are watching; you can’t falsely accuse without proof."
Slander?!
It was her mischief!
The Imperial Physician arrived quickly, and Beimo Princess asked, "Am I poisoned?"
The Imperial Physician retracted his hand from Beimo Princess’s wrist and said, "The princess’s pulse is stable; there’s no sign of poisoning."
Beimo Princess furrowed her brows tightly.
She suddenly lost her strength and fell forward, sothing that had never happened before.
She knew the Princess Consort Zhenbei knew dicine.
It’s impossible that she wasn’t poisoned by her.
However, Princess Shouning was also supposedly poisoned, and the Empress had called the Imperial Physician, who wouldn’t cover up for the Princess Consort Zhenbei.
Furthermore, since her strength had mostly returned, maybe the poison had worn off.
The Imperial Physician applied dicine to them.
Seeing the bruises on the fair faces of the two princesses, the Imperial Physician’s hands trembled.
Who else would he provoke, if not the Princess Consort Zhenbei?
The Beimo Princess could be excused; she was new and didn’t understand the Princess Consort Zhenbei’s power.
Princess Shouning had suffered at the hands of the Princess Consort Zhenbei more than once or twice, yet she never learned.
Every ti the injury was to her face.
She wasn’t afraid of her face being ruined by the Princess Consort?
The Imperial Physician was genuinely worried.
If they were seriously injured, the Imperial Hospital couldn’t heal them, and they would have to ask the Princess Consort Zhenbei for help.
The eunuchs ca over, and the Empress’s face was frosty, "Where are they?!"
"Can’t even catch three children?!"
The eunuchs shrank and said, "They went to the Imperial Study."
"The Emperor said if an elder sister is bullied, it’s right for the younger brother to help."
Princess Shouning was nearly enraged beyond control.
"What about the Ninth Prince?!"
"If his sister’s being bullied, has he ever helped ?!"
Consort Li laughed, "Does Princess Shouning rember what the Ninth Prince looks like?"
The young prince now lives in the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, having a more comfortable life there than in the palace.
He’s not going to help the daughter of Marquis Dongxiang, would he?"
