"Liu Ruo Qing, you …"
Pang Yue Qiu rushed out from behind the yamen runner, his eyes red with anger, as though his eyeballs were about to pop out, "Don't push yourself too far, have you forgotten your current identity?"
The smile on Liu Ruo Qing's face froze, she obviously knew what Pang Yue Qiu meant.
She was currently wearing a sinner's clothing, plus the Central Grand Preceptor Pang and the censors, they were thinking of a way to make the Kaiser cut off her head.
Now, with her doing such a thing, wouldn't it just be troublesome for Yan Yuan and the Emperor?
Thinking about it this way, Liu Ruo Qing regretted his rash actions. If she had endured it a little, there might have been no more troubles.
Just as she was regretting her decision, she suddenly heard a cold voice, filled with undisguised anger, coming from the crowd.
"You seem to have forgotten the identity of the person standing in front of you!"
Yan Yuan?
How could Liu Ruo Qing not recognize this familiar voice? Her eyes instantly lit up.
After which, a handsome figure appeared before the crowd. He didn't say a single word, but his cold gaze made everyone cower in fear, not daring to get too close to him.
Yan Yuan had already walked over to her, his cold and murderous gaze instantly softened, giving off a feeling of unquestionable safety and trust.
"Why are you here?"
The look in Liu Ruo Qing's eyes changed from happy to uneasy as she looked at Yan Yuan.
When he saw Yan Yuan holding her hand, his fingers unintentionally dug into her palm. "My wife has been bullied, how can I not come?"
"…"
Can you lie again?
It was your wife who fed the other girls, okay?
The crowd looked at the handsome, dignified man in front of them. They could not help but wipe away their sweat.
The worry in the depths of Liu Ruo Qing's eyes instantly turned into joy as she smiled at Yue Yang.
Ignoring the many people around her, Yan Yuan bent down and whispered into her ear. "Don't worry, leave this to me."
When his words fell, he had already turned around, his sharp gaze sweeping across everyone's faces, and finally stopping on Pang Yue Qiu's and Meng Pei Pei's dirty faces.
The two of them did not expect Yan Yuan to come over at this time. When they received his cold gaze, they subconsciously took two steps back.
Because the two of them were reeking of a disgusting stench, the crowd that was watching behind them saw them retreat two steps, and immediately became very scared. They kept their distance from the two of them for a good distance, and in a split second, Pang Yue Qiu and Meng Pei Pei discovered that they seemed to be isolated from the crowd, and their bodies were covered with cold sweat.
"The things that the wangfei welcomes you with, are they still to your liking?"
Yan Yuan said indifferently, but his eyes were serious, as if Liu Ruo Qing had really "treated" them.
Princess?
Everyone was shocked, they all looked at the young lady who was protected by Yan Yuan.
Thinking back to how they discussed the fake Crown Princess Jing all day, and heard that the Crown Princess Jing was precisely punished by the Emperor to sweep the streets, could it be … The person in front of him was Crown Princess Jing!
In other words, the tall, handsome, and self-confident, cold, and thin man in front of him, was the current Prince Jing with a high position and authority?
They recalled how Prince Jing's eyes were so warm and gentle when he was in front of Crown Princess Jing, as if he was a completely different person now.
It could be seen that the Prince Jing didn't care that the Crown Princess Jing lied to her, and didn't care that the Crown Princess Jing was actually a princess of the xieqing.
With this thought, everyone turned to look at Pang Meng and Liu Ruo Qing who had been fed a mouthful of food by Liu Ruo Qing. It was as if they truly felt that they had bullied the wangfei.
Well, the prince was right, everything he said was right.
In the eyes of the commoners, this Prince Jing who protected their country was a god-like existence. Thus, the words of the gods could not be wrong, the ones who were wrong were all people whom the Duke did not like.
Pang Yue Qiu and Meng Pei Pei were already terrified of Yan Yuan, they didn't even care about the despising looks from the surroundings as their bodies trembled like sieve chaff, causing the yellow liquid on their faces to drip down rhythmically. Their appearances were disgusting and comical.
"Since you guys aren't speaking, I'm guessing you're all satisfied with the treatment that the wangfei has given you. What do you all think?"
Yan Yuan's cold voice continued to echo out of his mouth bit by bit. His gaze slowly swept over the few yamen runners and the surrounding crowd who were still watching.
Originally, they had wanted to use the matter of the Miss Pang to flatter Grand Preceptor Pang, but in the end, they directly provoked the Crown Princess Jing. Thinking about it, those few yamen runners were so scared that their heads were covered with sweat, not daring to refute Yan Yuan's words.
Now that the Prince Jing had given them the chance to redeem themselves, of course they had to grasp it well. Immediately, they nodded, "Yes, yes …"
The surrounding crowd also nodded their heads. From time to time, the sound of laughter that was trying its best to not come out could be heard.
Pang Yue Qiu and Yue Shan's faces were ashen, was Prince Jing relying on his power to bully others?
Maybe because she was too angry, Pang Yue Qiu actually felt less afraid of Yan Yuan, and didn't know where she got the courage from, but she welcomed his casual face and said, "How can you be so unreasonable, your highness. Everyone has seen the Crown Princess Jing feeding us …"
Pang Yue Qiu thought about how he was fed and could not help but feel nauseous, his face becoming even more pale, "How can the Prince force them to lie, maidservant is not willing to accept this."
He thought that Yan Yuan would be angry, but instead he turned his head and looked at Liu Ruo Qing, unwilling to even glance at him, and asked: "Why is this street so dirty?"
"We'll have to ask the Miss Pang and the Miss Meng then. They said that they would give me a chance to take credit in front of the Emperor, so they gave me these things."
Saying that, she laughed lightly, her eyes flashed with a strange light, her crystal clear pupils flickered with an uncontrollable light, "Miss Meng said that I have to repay this kindness, so of course I have to repay them back heavily."
With that, she revealed a cunning and harmless smile towards Pang Yue Qiu and Yue Shan, causing Pang Yue Qiu to clench her teeth in anger.
"Liu Ruo Qing, you …"
Pang Yue Qiu pointed angrily at Liu Ruo Qing who was behind Yan Yuan, and was about to curse, but when he saw the bone-piercing coldness in Yan Yuan's eyes, he swallowed his words back.
"Miss Pang, you must be careful. This king has never properly communicated with you regarding your curses to the emperor."
