Xiao Tingyan raised his feet and lifted Hezong's chin with his toes. Hezong didn't know why, but he felt frightened. Beads of sweat continued to appear on his forehead. His body was shaking uncontrollably. Xiao Tingyan A cool voice came from above: "You dare to provoke and ridicule the General's Mansion. Who gave you the courage? Who do you think you are, that you dare to be compared with the people of the General's Mansion?"

Hezong couldn't help but chattered his teeth. King Yan's aura was too strong and he couldn't bear it. He was so flustered that he stammered and explained: "Wang... Your Majesty, please calm down. I'm humble. I'm humble. I'm wrong. I'm humble." I don’t dare to insult the General’s Mansion anymore.”

Xiao Tingyan raised his foot and kicked Hezong hard in the face. Hezong's face tilted and he groaned. The skin at the corner of his mouth was immediately broken and a lot of blood flowed out. He knelt on the ground shivering, holding on to the pain. The corner of his mouth trembled and begged for mercy. "My lord, please calm down. I have truly realized my mistake. I will never dare to do it again."

Xiao Tingyan opened her thin lips lightly and left a casual sentence: "I want to see if your legs are disabled and you can surpass the General's Mansion and become the new General King of the Southern Prefecture. Can you still move into the General's Mansion? Replace General Zhenguo..." He Zong raised his head and looked at Xiao Tingyan with a face full of horror. He thought that it was enough for him to get a rebuke from King Yan. He never expected that King Yan would actually depose him. Legs? If his legs were crippled, wouldn't he be doomed for the rest of his life? No, he couldn't be crippled, his life had just begun, and he couldn't let his bright future be ruined like this. Hezong gritted his teeth and shouted loudly. He dared to yell: "Prince Banquet, I just said a few words about the general's palace. You can't punish me so severely. Although you are a prince, you can't treat human lives so indiscriminately... What's more, I am also the deputy commander of the patrol battalion personally appointed by the emperor."

"I'm an official of the imperial court, and I'm not someone you can dismiss at your own risk. Even if this matter comes to the emperor, you won't be able to stand. You can't just do whatever you want just because you are the uncle of the Southern Prince. , poisoning people's lives... In short, I don't accept it..." Xiao Tingyan was completely angry and laughed. He narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered coldly: "You don't accept it? Then just bear with it... Who let me be the uncle of the Southern Prince? And you are just the deputy commander of a small patrol battalion. I am the emperor's younger brother, can't you even deal with a villain who offends me?"

"If you are not convinced, you can go to the emperor. I want to see if the emperor will rebuke me for you. Shi Li, stop his mouth and drag him down, and I will kill him immediately. He..." Shi Li clasped his fists and responded in a low voice. Hezong's face was pale, and his eyes were full of fear. He yelled sternly: "No, don't..." Xiao Tingyan ignored him for a moment, turned around and left. Hezong was desperate. To the extreme, he subconsciously wanted to grab Xiao Tingyan's robe, but Shi Li kicked his palm away... Then, several black feather guards appeared, lifted up He Zong and disappeared at the door of the princess's mansion. Xiao Tingyan entered the princess's mansion. , among the people watching, no one dared to speak for He Zong. Most people were very afraid of Xiao Tingyan. They all knew that this sick and frail prince also had an unknown cold face that others were timid about. Regardless of whether he was Nan The identity of the Crown Prince's uncle and the one hundred thousand military power in the North alone made others unable to help but feel frightened. In these years, even the emperor had to be polite to Xiao Tingyan on the surface. Calm was restored at the entrance of the princess's mansion. Those who were watching the fun gradually dispersed... He Zong was a new noble in the imperial court. He didn't have much foundation. In addition, since He Zong became the new top scholar in the military field, he had a surly and arrogant temper, which inadvertently offended many people. So no one dared to speak for him, let alone plead for him. After the crowd at the door gradually dispersed, King Duan slowly walked out from the dark corner. He stared at the direction He Zong left, Turning to look at Feng Hai: "After the Black Feather Guards cripple He Zong's legs, you find a way to bring He Zong into Prince Duan's palace."

Feng Hai's eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at Prince Duan with some confusion: "Your Majesty, Hezong has been deposed. What's the point of asking your subordinates to take him back to Prince Duan's Mansion?"

King Duan thoughtfully raised his lips and smiled: "He Zong has a lot more useful functions. Let's see if we can save his legs. If we can save him, I think he will be grateful to me..." He Zong is one of the few talented military commanders in recent years. He is highly skilled in martial arts and has some unique insights into formations and formations. King Duan has always wanted to make friends with He Zong and make him his own. Under his command. Unfortunately, He Zong's intention was Xiao Xuanrui before. Now that Xiao Xuanrui has lost power, and he saved He Zong's life when he was desperate, He Zong will definitely surrender to him completely. Even if He Zong's legs are crippled, He has become a useless person, but his strategies and methods of arranging troops and going into battle to kill the enemy can also come in handy. Like Xiao Xuanrui, he is a person who loves and cherishes talents! Feng Hai's eyes lit up: "Your Highness If we are kind to He Zong, He Zong will not dare not to fall under our command. The prince's move of waiting for the enemy is really clever. Invisibly, King Yan has given us a hand."

"When you bring Hezong back, remember to make him suffer. He has offended people who shouldn't be offended. Although I need him, I don't want him to have a hard time..." There was a hint of evil in King Duan's eyes. Feng Hai was stunned, thinking that he understood what the prince meant. Does the prince blame He Zong for not having a good eye and offending Taiping County Lord Yun Luan? It seems that in the eyes of the prince, this Yun Luan occupies quite a lot of space. In a small position, Feng Hai turned his head subconsciously and glanced at Fang Celadon who was following King Duan. Fang Celadon was wearing a light pink dress and a thin cloak, and her face seemed to be blown by the cold wind. Turning white. She lowered her eyes, clenched her fists tightly, pursed her lips and remained silent. - Yun Luan led everyone from the General's Mansion to the Princess' Mansion, and then someone came over and led them respectfully into the banquet. .When they arrived, Princess Jiarong was dressed in rich makeup and sitting on a high seat. She was covered in jewels and had several golden robes on her temples. Those golden robes not only did not distract her It looked noble and majestic, but it seemed a bit vulgar. Many people took a look at it and thought it was annoying. However, no one dared to laugh at Princess Jiarong truthfully. Those noble ladies from Kyoto surrounded Princess Jiarong and flattered her. Please. Princess Jiarong was immersed in the flattery of everyone, and she was so happy that she could not extricate herself. She only felt that she was superior, and whoever she was willing to give a good look or smile to was the one whose ancestors' graves were covered with smoke. The banquet The atmosphere was very good, until Yun Luan entered the banquet, the originally lively atmosphere suddenly stagnated. Princess Jiarong saw Yun Luan and others at a glance. Her eyes could not help but become a bit colder. Yun Luan and Concubine Wan, She was somewhat aware of the grievances she had with Xiao Xuanrui, and she scorned Yun Luan in her heart. Now, in her heart, she already regarded herself as Concubine Wan's biological daughter. Xiao Xuanrui was also hers. Her brother. Naturally, she had great opinions on Yun Luan towards Xiao Xuanrui. If her father hadn't insisted on inviting Yun Luan to the General's Mansion, she really didn't want to see Yun Luan's dead face. Feiyue Palace The palace attendant told her that it was Yun Luan who pursued and stalked her second brother. Yun Luan liked her second brother, almost to the point of being crazy. Who knew that what would happen in the General's Mansion would happen? After a huge change, Yun Luan seemed to be a different person. She didn't know when she actually hooked up with Uncle Yan Huang and completely dumped her second brother. For this reason, the second brother knelt down more than once and begged Yun Luan to change his mind. Unexpectedly, Yun Luan was not only unappreciative, but actually joined forces with the Emperor's uncle to have a banquet with the emperor, and secretly plotted against the second brother many times. Without Yun Luan's plot, so many people in the Zhao family would not have died, and the second brother would not have been trapped. He was demoted and was exiled to Jinzhou. A chill flashed through Princess Jiarong's eyes, and she sneered, not showing any good feelings towards Yun Luan. "Hey, the Lord of Taiping County is here? You don't know when you see me, Princess Do you want to salute this princess? Is this the rule of the general's palace?"

As soon as she spoke, she was deliberately blaming Yun Luan. Others heard the words, and no one spoke for a while. They all turned their eyes to Yun Luan, waiting for her reaction. Most of the eyes around them were watching the excitement and watching the show. Yun Luan was no stranger to these looks, whether in her previous life or in this life. There was no wave or change on her face... Just as she was about to respond, Mrs. Liu quickly pinched the back of her hand and signaled her to stop. Mrs. Liu didn't want to cause any trouble with Princess Jiarong in front of so many people, so she quickly apologized with a smile. "Princess, please calm down. We have just entered the banquet and haven't had time to salute you yet."

"Princess Wan'an, I apologize to you..." Mrs. Liu said, and was about to kneel down... Yun Luan frowned and subconsciously held Mrs. Liu's arm to prevent her from kneeling down. Mrs. Liu She glanced at Yun Luan helplessly, and reminded her in a low voice: "Luan'er, after all, she is a princess and a member of the royal family. We are ministers. How can a minister not be polite when meeting a member of the royal family?"

"With so many people watching, it's really unjustifiable for us not to be polite."

Mrs. Liu pushed away Yun Luan's support, lifted up her skirt, and knelt down towards Princess Jiarong... Yun Huai lowered his eyebrows and knelt down with Mrs. Liu. Yun Feng and his second sister-in-law Chen Yonghe looked at each other and also knelt down. She knelt down. Princess Jiarong stood arrogantly on the steps, with a hint of disdain in her eyes, and smiled softly. "The general's wife knows the current affairs... It's a pity that you taught someone who doesn't understand the rules. Daughter, you, a mother, have knelt down for me, but she still stands upright... Madam General, how did you teach your daughter?"

As soon as Princess Jiarong said these words, everyone around her suddenly took a breath of air. It seemed that Princess Jiarong was deliberately trying to cause trouble for Yun Luan. Every word she said was to make Yun Luan bow his head and ask for help. Yun Luan was asked to grovel to her. Yun Luan stared at Princess Jiarong coldly, she raised her lips and smiled mockingly, and helped Mrs. Liu to stand up without hesitation. "Mother, saluting an arrogant and ignorant princess like her is in vain. You have completely disgraced the character of our General's Mansion. What is your identity? You are the wife of the general who governs the country, the first-class wife. Your father and brother died to protect the Nanchu country, and your husband and son also died for the Nanchu. You have made so many sacrifices and contributions to Nan Chu. She is a stupid princess who is arrogant and disrespects the widow of a loyal minister and good general. Is she worthy of your gift?"

Princess Jiarong was completely angry. She immediately picked up a tea cup and threw it at Yun Luan. "How outrageous. My princess, did you let her get up? Yun Luan, you actually dare to make your own decisions, Help her get up? Do you still think of me as a princess in your eyes?"

Yun Luan was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked the tea cup that was thrown at him. The tea cup turned around and flew towards Princess Jiarong... Princess Jiarong suddenly turned pale with fright. She staggered back a few steps and sat down on the ground. Her face was as good as the tea cup passing by. A few drops of tea fell on her face, blurring her makeup. At this moment, she carefully All the makeup she put on was gone. Princess Jiarong was so angry that her face was livid. She clenched her fists and roared at Yun Luan: "You... Yun Luan, you are so presumptuous... How dare you attack me? Come on, will you?" Drag this bitch down with me and give her fifty spanks..." Yun Luan's eyes were sharp, without any trace of fear or panic. She replied word by word: "It was the princess who attacked me first. It's just self-defense... Everyone present can see it with their own eyes. It's very clear what is right and what is wrong. Just because you are a princess and you want to kill someone, the victim cannot resist and defend."

Princess Jiarong didn't want to listen to Yun Luan's excuse at all. She just felt that Yun Luan was provoking her unscrupulously and not taking her as a princess seriously. Everyone was supporting her and fawning over her, so why did Yun Luan How could Luan, a little county princess, be able to sneer at her and not kneel down to salute her? She had old and new grudges. Today, she must let Yun Luan know how powerful she is as a princess. She raised her sleeves , wiped the water stains on his face, and shouted at the people outside: "Are all the people outside dead? Didn't you hear what I said, the princess?"

"Hurry up and drag this bitch out to me, princess, and give her a heavy punishment of fifty strokes. No matter who comes today, they can't stop her. I, the princess, want to punish Yun Luan."

Unexpectedly, she clamored for a long time, but there was no movement outside. Princess Jiarong's face became more and more ugly. "It's against me, is it all against me? Don't you all listen to what I say? Okay, wait a minute. , Father and Empress Wan are here, you all just wait to die."

Mrs. Liu saw that Princess Jiarong was so angry that she was almost going crazy. She was a little overwhelmed and held Yun Luan's wrist. She asked in a low voice: "Luan'er, you really shouldn't confront the princess head-on..." … If we offend the princess like this, nothing will happen, right?"

Yun Luan signaled Ms. Liu not to worry, and she chuckled indifferently. "Mother, do you think that if I don't treat her like this, she can live in peace with me? Oh, as early as I stepped into the princess's mansion, In a moment, she thought about how to make things difficult for me. In this case, why should I be humble in front of her, why should I wrong myself?"

"No matter what I do, she will offend her. It is better to break up in advance and save my energy and time. I disdain the hypocrisy, and I am not afraid of real swords and guns..." Ms. Liu Sighing: "She is a princess after all, and now this is her territory. What if she gets angry..." Yun Luan's eyes flashed with a hint of ridicule: "Don't worry, mother, Princess Jiarong is just a clown, she We can't afford to make any big waves. In front of everyone, she doesn't dare to do anything to us..." "Besides, we didn't do anything wrong. Even if the emperor comes, he can't punish us."

Mrs. Liu opened her mouth: "Just because you didn't salute her just now, she has something to say in front of the Holy Emperor."

Yun Luan curled her lips and couldn't help but chuckle. "Mother, I'm afraid you have forgotten who I am leaning on behind you now. The emperor's marriage decree is still in our general's mansion. This time, in the marriage decree, It is clearly written that I will be crowned Princess Yan. Although Prince Yan and I have not yet married, my status as Princess Yan is real..." "Princess Jiarong, a junior, dares to bully me, the future Yan Princess, in this way. Princess, mother, do you think the Emperor will punish me or Princess Jiarong if this matter comes before the Emperor?"

Ms. Liu couldn't help but feel a little enlightened. Her eyes lit up and her lips curled up and she couldn't help but smile. "Look at me, I'm really confused."

"Yes, why did I forget that you are already the Princess of Yan?"

Mrs. Liu's heart was completely settled. The worry in her eyes gradually disappeared. Although King Yan was ten years older than her daughter, she didn't like King Yan very much at first. But at this moment, Princess Yan was Her identity was given to Luan'er and a lot of protection from their general's mansion. In her heart, she was grateful to King Yan. These days, looking at King Yan's devotion to her daughter, she felt more and more Satisfied with the son-in-law of King Yan. Yun Luan comforted Mrs. Liu, then found a seat and helped Mrs. Liu sit down. Yun Huai followed obediently to the left and right. Yun Feng also followed suit and helped Chen Yonghe sit down. Their general The people in the mansion looked as usual and sat down calmly, ignoring Princess Jiarong's hysterical roar. Princess Jiarong almost went crazy when she saw them acting so unconcerned and not taking her seriously. Like a shrew, she shouted outside the palace again. "Come here, come here. Are you all dead?"
