"Guards!" Wu Yunling shouted to the guards, "Seize her!"
Guards filled the hall in seconds, swords ready. Yun Canglan didn't move. Sitting there, she took the grapes from Yun Qin and watched the drama unfold.
Yun Canglan inquired, "Yun Qin, what's the name of this drama again?" The drama was not as good as she would have liked to see.
Yun Qin clarified readily, "Mistress, this is called, 'Yun Qi Beats A Mad Dog'."
"This is such a bad drama. I don't like it." Yun Canglan stated.
Yun Qin rolled his eyes, "Mistress, this is the drama you ordered a moment ago."
While Yun Canglan and Yun Qin chatted leisurely, the rest of the room was tense and unhappy.
Yun Qi looked at the guards surrounding him, and his uneasiness grew, "Mistress, I do not believe you care about me at all! I am in danger now, and you ignore it."
Yun Canglan glanced at him but said nothing.
Yun Qin impatiently advised Yun Qi, "Yun Qi, the Mistress doesn't like this drama at all, please resolve it promptly."
One of the concubines with Wu Yunling commented, "Lady Ling, you are right to be upset; why this arrogant bitch didn't respect you at all!"
Other concubines jumped into the drama as well, encouraging Wu Yunling while throwing insults at Yun Canglan.
Lady Ling was fuming and commanded the guards, "Throw these bitches into the military camp to serve as prostitutes!"
"Yes, Your Ladyship."
The troops closed in to seize Yun Canglan, Yun Qin, and Yun Qi.
Yun Qi rolled her wrists and guards fell to the ground. Wu Yunling didn't have time to react before all the guards lay defeated on the floor.
"You want to send me to the military camp?" The Poison Sage was to be
omen are out of their minds! Why do you send them here? My Crown Prince, if we are not welcome, tell us directly. We will leave the imperial palace immediately if you ask us to. We will not steal anything. They are jealous of My Mistress's beauty, and brag about their clothes, but the Mistress's socks are more expensive than those. They saw Mistress was prettier and richer, so they began to abuse us. We have traveled through the seven kingdoms, and have never encountered ladies like your concubines. How dare they criticize My Mistress. My Crown Prince, they called her a 'bitch.' If they were not your concubines, I would cut their heads off for sure! I'm kind-hearted, My Crown Prince. I don't want to cut their heads off, so I just beat them."
Yun Qi's words flew out so quickly; he didn't even take the time to breathe, which shocked Huo Liuyun and his prattling concubines into silence.
Yun Canglan brought Yun Qi a cup of tea.
"Thank you, My Mistress!" Yun Qi said taking the cup from her. .He wondered why Yun Canglan was so kind to him.
"You're welcome. I'm always considerate." Yun Canglan said with a smile.
