That person quickly stepped forward and grabbed her hand. "Stop!"

Xi Mengyao was not someone to be trifled with. Snorting coldly, she turned around and shouted, "Let go!"

That person did not allow him to do so. He only grabbed onto him and pointed at him with a louder voice.

"Brat, you're so bold. Do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like that!"

As he said that, he actually grabbed Xi Mengyao's shoulder, and wanted to forcefully drag her backwards.

Xi Mengyao was already annoyed to the core, she turned around and grabbed onto the man's hand that was grabbing her shoulder, and threw him backwards.

That person was ruthlessly thrown onto the ground. He groaned, and when he thought of this, he was unable to get up.

At this time, the follower at the side, who had only realized what was going on, stood out and stopped Xi Mengyao.

"How dare you!" How dare you attack our young master! "

As he said that, he waved his hand behind him, following that, dozens of tight-uniformed Attendant holding sticks rushed out from the downstairs and the table, and surrounded Xi Mengyao.

Xi Mengyao was originally drunk, but at the same time, she woke up, frowned, looked at the people in front of him, and was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a man pushed open the door to a private room and shouted at them, "What are you doing?!"

Xi Mengyao turned his head to look and saw that it was a man wearing a black hat. Xi Mengyao saw that the figure was majestic, but her clothes were coarse, she did not know who the person was.

That person suddenly blocked in front of her, and then, facing a group of Attendant s, he berated them: "Beneath the Emperor's feet, you actually gathered a group of people to injure someone, do you have any laws in your eyes!?"

"What has it got to do with you? Your words are quite clever, but no matter how clever you are, if you meet our Palace, we will tear you apart! "

As Attendant spoke, he did not forget about his vertical eye and glared at Xi Mengyao.

Hearing that, Xi Mengyao became suspicious, after thinking for a while, she tilted her head and looked at them.

"Duke Palaces? "Which royal house are you from? And whose royal family is your master? How come I've never seen him before?"

"You … "You …" They didn't want to, but they didn't know how to respond at the moment.

Looking at their expressions, Xi Mengyao reacted to it and sneered: I thought they were some kind of imperial relative, hmm, just someone with the surname Wang, then why are you pretending to be big head!

When these words were spoken, the spectators couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This group of people could not hold back their laughter. They did not even bother to argue, and immediately waved their hands, causing this group of people to swarm over.

Xi Mengyao did not care about it, and kicked the person in front of him.

Attendant was instantly kicked to the ground, but at the same time, the other people raised their staffs.

Xi Mengyao subconsciously closed her eyes when she saw that something was wrong, and was about to receive one blow.

The sound of clothes flapping could be heard from the side. The man from before had actually protected her behind him, then, with a few light waves of his hands, a few Attendant s fell to the ground.

Those people got up, but they still wanted to come over. It was a pity that the gap between them still existed. After a few moves, they were all knocked to the ground and were no longer able to get up.

Xi Mengyao stood at the side in a daze, as she cupped her hands in admiration towards the man who was blocking her way: "Young Hero is skilled, I am grateful to you for saving me in the name of justice."

"There is no need to thank me. I can't believe that anyone would be so arrogant in front of the Son of Heaven. If they dare to come again, I'll definitely capture them and take them to the government!

The man chuckled. His voice was very low, but he seemed to have deliberately lowered it.

Xi Mengyao sensed that person and looked at him. His intuition told him that she did not want to know his identity, so she did not ask. She just smiled and said: "Young Hero's bold words. Available... "That being said, the government might not decide for a mere commoner like me."

Hearing this, the man was silent for a moment before sighing. "Now that laziness has prevailed and the government has been infected with this habit, it is indeed a chilling sight."

After Xi Mengyao heard this, she remembered the threat of the Prime Minister, and could not hold it in anymore and started to mock him.

"The government was originally acting for the people, but now they are trying to please their superiors. They are treating the people like horses or cows. If this goes on, the government will not be like officials, and the citizens will not live."

Hearing that, the man by the side was startled, he looked surprised at Xi Mengyao and said: "This little one is speaking the truth, however, there are not many people who dare to speak the truth today."

"It has always been difficult to speak the truth. Everyone knows it, but no one talks about it. It's just that speaking the truth is unlikeable, and the Emperor doesn't like it either."

Xi Mengyao sneered, she was already planning to let go of herself with the alcohol.

She just didn't understand. These people were in high positions, and they were using their power to fight in the open and in the dark.

However, the reason why they were standing in a place like this was merely because they were being held up by others, not being able to consolidate their foundations. Their attitude was like fireworks in full bloom.

"They only wish to have beautiful dreams. However, they do not know that good dreams are the easiest to wake up from. If it were me, I would rather listen to those heartrending words than to listen to any flattery and fawning.

"This humble one is knowledgeable, I am truly impressed!"

When the person heard this, he raised his wine glass after the shock. "Everyone says that it's hard to be confused. I think that's just self-consoling. It's a pity that no one is willing to drink bitter medicine."

"Removing the sore is always painful."

The two of them exchanged pleasantries as they chatted. He didn't even run after injuring the other party. Instead, he sat at a nearby table and drank his wine.

When the Attendant of the Moon Tower arrived and saw this scene, no one dared to step forward.

He only looked at the two blankly. After a long while, someone came out from the side and handed Attendant a few pieces of silver: "Go down."

The Attendant ordered some silver, which seemed to be around five to six taels! He only earned three hundred dollars a year. Now, he was beaming with joy, knowing that he would be able to meet a rich man.

The group of people who had been knocked down knew that they were no match for him and had already run away. It was unknown whether they had taken him away or whether they had gone back to call for reinforcements.

Xi Mengyao still remembered something, she did not close the window, she only wanted to see if there was anyone else downstairs, but as she was thinking, a cool breeze blew past.

The black veil on the person sitting opposite to her in front of the conical hat was lifted by the wind. When Xi Mengyao unintentionally glanced over, she saw that person's face underneath the conical hat.

The moment she saw it, her face turned pale with fright. She didn't notice that she had dropped her wine cup on the ground.

"Xiao Ke, you …" The person was unclear.

Only then did Xi Mengyao realize that she had lost control of herself. She coughed, stood up, and cupped her hands: "Wang …. I mean, I remember that I still have one thing to do at home, so I'll go first.

After saying that, she threw down the silver and ran off.

Seeing her like that, the man felt strange. He stood up and wanted to give chase, but someone stood behind him: "Prince Jing, it's time for you to return to the house."
