The seventeenth princess was busy kowtowing and apologizing, "I'm sorry, sister, I really didn't mean it. It's just that if Xia Min is punished, there won't be anyone around me to serve her."
Princess He Jing looked at her coldly and said, "What I hate the most is how harmless you are. You just punished a maid, and you didn't kill her. You just wanted your father to see the punishment.
I."
The Seventeenth Princess didn't know what to say to calm her down, but she still stubbornly pulled her maid behind her to protect her.
But the woman was still reluctant, "You are so shabby, you have disgraced me, Princess Zhao. If your mother hadn't climbed onto father's bed, how could you have been a scoundrel like you? It's really unlucky."
The Seventeenth Princess did not react at all when she was wronged like this, which shows that she is used to being wronged.
"It would be better if my sister just beats and scolds me if she doesn't like me. My mother-in-law has passed away, and I can't mention her name like this."
The woman didn't care at all what she said and just vented her anger.
"Since you won't let me punish your maid, how about you take the punishment on her behalf?"
After saying this, he instructed his maid to slap his mouth.
This scene made Wei Wu dumbfounded. A maid actually beat the seventeenth princess in broad daylight.
He immediately rushed over, grabbed the woman's hand and threw it aside, and then helped up the seventeenth princess who was kneeling on the ground.
Seeing that someone dared to be so rude to her, Princess He Jing had someone stop her.
"Who are you? A foreigner dares to break into the harem garden without permission."
Two maids stopped in front of him fiercely, and Wei Wu sneered with aura and said, "If you don't want me to do anything in this garden, just get out of my way."
The two maids did not dare to move. They looked at Princess He Jing aside with pleading eyes.
Seeing that someone dared to neglect her like this, Princess He Jing said arrogantly, "Come here, take down this blind person."
Several people wearing eunuch clothes immediately walked toward Wei Wu, and they surrounded Wei Wu and the Seventeenth Princess.
The seventeenth princess was afraid that her own affairs would implicate him, so she pushed him away and said, "I don't know you, so you don't have to stand up for me."
Wei Wu felt that the woman in front of him was being unreasonable. He was obviously here to help him, so why did he have to lose face?
"I'm helping you, do you understand? If it hadn't been for last night~"
Before he finished speaking, Princess Seventeen quickly pushed him and then whispered to him, "I appreciate your kindness, but this matter has nothing to do with you. They are not easy to talk to. You
Let’s leave first.”
Only then did Wei Wu realize that she was thinking about him.
Finally, he asked Yurong leisurely and contentedly, "What should you do?"
Yu Rong said to him urgently, "I have a way to deal with them, you leave first."
Wei Wu snorted coldly, "The method you mentioned is to let a maid beat you. Since you saved me yesterday, I will save you again today."
Before he finished speaking, he knocked several eunuchs to the ground with lightning speed.
This time Yurong was completely scared.
She knelt in front of Princess He Jing and begged for mercy, "Sister, this happened because of me. Please let him go. He doesn't understand the rules of the palace."
Princess He Jing smiled coldly and said, "This is someone who came to Zhao's palace but didn't understand the rules. I, the princess, will teach him a lesson for my father."
Wei Wu glanced at her contemptuously, "I didn't know that the princess of Zhao State treated guests like this. The general only came here on the second day, and you dared to let the guards draw their swords."
At this moment, the emperor and his concubine came over.
"I was reviewing the memorial in the Central Palace when I heard people say that there is a lot of noise here. Do you still know some rules? As a princess, you cannot set an example but you have lost the rules in front of the Wei envoys. If I don't punish you today, you cannot follow the palace rules.
.”
The imperial concubine was busy trying to smooth things over for her daughter, "Oh,
General Wei, I really feel sorry for He Jing for doing such a scandal today. This is all due to my lack of discipline. I ask General Wei to forgive him. I will definitely teach her well when I take him back."
Then he scolded He Jing, "Why don't you apologize to your father? It seems that I indulge you too much."
Hearing this, He Jing immediately knelt in front of the emperor.
"Father, make atonement. Today is my daughter's fault. I shouldn't have fought in the imperial garden and let outsiders see the joke. But, it was Xiao Qi who deliberately asked her maid to push me down."
The imperial concubine immediately darkened her face.
"Princess Seventeen, I know that you did not grow up in the capital, but after all, you are a child of the royal family. Why are you so uneducated? How can you instruct your maid to push your own imperial sister."
Wei Wu originally thought that she wanted to defend him a few words, so that he could also help her.
Unexpectedly, the seventeenth princess just kowtowed to the imperial concubine and the emperor.
"Please forgive me, father and concubine. Everything is Shiqi's fault. Just punish me. My maid is innocent."
The emperor stared at this daughter with a hateful face, but in his heart, he probably felt that this girl was as ugly as his mother.
"Not only was your maid unable to stop you, but she allowed you to kill your own sister. I cannot let her go like this today."
The imperial concubine smiled politely, but was full of malice.
"How should the emperor punish this maid?"
"The rod."
The seventeenth princess stopped her maid to prevent anyone from touching her.
"Father, please allow my daughter to call you this. Maybe in your heart, I am just a nuisance that will cause you to be punished by the late emperor. But no matter what, I am your daughter. I have never had a father since I was a child.
I love you so much. My mother had no name and no status until she was bullied by some palace servants and hanged herself. She only had one maid by her side. Now, do you want to take her away from me?"
After hearing what he said, the emperor didn't have any mood swings because he didn't care at all.
Perhaps I still felt a little guilty for this daughter, so I ordered, "I will punish the ten big boards with sticks on the spot as a warning to others."
Then he turned to Wei Wu and said, "What makes General Wei laugh is the trivial quarrel between the daughters. Please come with me, General Wei. I have something to discuss with you."
Wei Wu nodded, and then the emperor and his concubine left first.
When Wei Wu left, he looked back.
The little palace maid was pulled to a stool by several strong men and was playing with the boards. Yu Rong stood aside and cried while watching. In the end, he threw himself on the little palace maid to block the boards for him.
