The Empress wanted to set her up, and Xuexue was filled with anger, deliberately ignoring the Empress. So, she began chatting with Long Rui as if no one else were around: "Prince, didn’t you say you had official matters to attend to? Why are you out here wandering?"
"Just now, a servant ca to report that soone was being disrespectful and bullying madam. In a rush, I rode out on my horse. My dear, are you okay?" Long Rui said, anxiously looking over Xuexue.
Xuexue playfully spun around in place and said with a smile, "I’m fine, I’m really good."
As soon as she finished speaking, cries of pain erupted from the ground.
Dozens of guards lay on the ground, wailing incessantly. Half of them had been injured by Xuexue’s silver needles, and the other half were hurt by Long Rui’s Palm Wind. At this mont, they were still in too much pain to get up from the ground.
Long Rui remained indifferent, looking straight at Xuexue, "Don’t go to the shop today; it’s better to return to the mansion."
Xuexue nodded: "Sounds good."
Having just fought with so many guards and sweating profusely, she was also planning to go back and change into a different dress.
Treated as if she were air, the Empress fud with anger, yet the palace maid urged from the side: "Empress, if we delay any longer, it will be Noon soon."
The Empress glanced at the funeral procession; everyone had stopped, even the Copper Gong was silent, and the cries had ceased. Everyone was staring at her, waiting for her direction.
"Begin the procession." Knowing she couldn’t beat Long Rui, the Empress didn’t dare to smash an egg against a rock and had no choice but to say begrudgingly.
Upon hearing this, the palace maid secretly sighed in relief and then shouted to the procession, "Begin the procession."
The funeral procession once again moved forward with lively commotion...
Xuexue had thought the Empress would give her a hard ti before leaving. Unexpectedly, upon seeing Long Rui, she left just like that, sowhat catching her off guard.
Long Rui: "My dear, why are you still standing foolishly! Let’s go."
Xuexue snapped out of it and quickly responded, "Ah, ah!"
They had just left when the commoners flooded back into the streets from all directions, whispering about what had just transpired. Everyone felt fortunate that Long Rui arrived in ti, otherwise Miss Situ would have been in trouble.
In the crowd, a chubby middle-aged man couldn’t help but say, "I think Miss Situ isn’t an ordinary person. Even if the War Prince hadn’t co, she might not have been disadvantaged."
An old lady among them said, "Don’t talk nonsense. Miss Situ is just a young lady. The Empress had so many people; how could she not suffer?"
The middle-aged man said, "Suffer what? Didn’t you see? Miss Situ’s martial arts are good! Those underlings of the Empress were no match for her at all."
The old lady said, "What martial arts? I didn’t see it; I only saw her running really fast. Young people are good; their legs move quickly."
The middle-aged man exclaid, "Oh my goodness! Old lady, that’s not running; that’s Qinggong. It’s a type of martial arts, ordinary people can’t run that fast."
The old lady said, "What nonsense, I don’t understand; all I know is that Miss Xuexue ran quickly and didn’t get caught by the bad people."
The two continued arguing.
Soone couldn’t help but advise, "Don’t argue; actually, earlier, the Empress definitely aid to trouble Miss Situ intentionally, wanting to avenge the Pri Minister."
"But it’s not Miss Situ’s fault. Why take revenge on her?"
"You’re silly; she’s the War Prince’s woman. The Empress doesn’t dare to vent her anger on the Prince, so she can only target Miss Situ."
"Oh, right."
Due to the funeral procession incident, a storm brewed across the city, and upon hearing it, The Emperor was also extrely furious.
