C16

Talking to smart people was easy, but....

She completely did not understand the threat behind Ji Yunkai's words, and upon hearing Ji Yunkai's denial, she angrily shouted: "Royal Brother, she is lying! She is the one who beat them up! If you don't believe me, you can ask them."

"Ye-...." Infanta Tao'an replied without thinking. Luckily she had a good brother, so he quickly interrupted her: "Tao'an!"

"Royal Brother?" Infanta Tao'an looked at the Son of Prince Duan in puzzlement.

"Miss Ji, you saw it too. My sister is just a little girl." The Son of Prince Duan shook his head that was beginning to ache, and laughed bitterly.

Ji Yunkai replied: "I know, so I didn't make things difficult for her, and I didn't hurt her." If Infanta Tao'an was not that stupid in the first place, she would not have been used by the Emperor and become the first person to jump out at her.

"Thank you, Miss Ji." The Son of Prince Duan had a good temper, but Infanta Tao'an still refused to comply, "Royal Brother, why are you thanking this ugly bastard? She just choked my neck and threatened to smear my face with poisoned blood to make me as ugly as she is."

"Tao'an, shut up!"The Son of Prince Duan held his aching head, and pulled Infanta Tao'an behind him. He then said to Ji Yunkai: "Miss Ji, no matter who's in the right or wrong in this matter, your beating someone up is always wrong. These guards are all Imperial Guards. After beating up the Imperial Guards, you won't be able to escape punishment."

"Your Highness doesn't seem to have heard me clearly. I told you that I didn't beat these people up. If you don't believe me, you can interrogate them one by one." Ji Yunkai lied with her eyes wide open. She casually threw the whip in her hand and it fell in front of the Son of Prince Duan: "Your Highness, you should keep this whip, it is not a toy a little girl should play with."

He did not want to ask Ji Yunkai about the conflict between them, nor did he want to know who was in the right and who was in the wrong. He only knew that Ji Yunkai was the one that fought the Imperial Guards.

"Have the Ministry of Justice and the Judicial Courts come interrogate me then. Ah, that's right, remember to invite an imperial physician as well. The poison in my body hasn't cleared yet, and I still feel weak." Ji Yunkai said shamelessly.

She had kept her hands clean when she was hitting the guards. Otherwise, why would she use this whip when other weapons were just as good?

There were some things that did not need to be said. Everyone understood that on the eve of her wedding, Ji Yunkai's appearance was still like a yaksha's, which was extremely disadvantageous to her.

"I'm afraid there's no time for you and I to settle this matter peacefully." Ji Yunkai pointed to the noble ladies walking over and laughed bitterly.

One thing after another. The Emperor really wanted to force her to her death.

"Hey, what's going on? Why are all of them squeezed together here?" Just as Ji Yunkai finished speaking, a lady wearing a lilac colored dress pointed at them and shouted loudly.

"What's wrong?" Her words aroused the curiosity of a noble woman behind her. Everyone all looked over and shouted: "Isn't this the Son of Prince Duan and Infanta Tao'an? Why are they fighting with the Imperial Guards?"

"Quickly go over and take a look. Don't let anything happen to them." A few women walked over nervously. Of course, there were also people who took pleasure in watching other's misfortune.

"Now..." The Son of Prince Duan frowned and pulled Infanta Tao'an along. He wanted to leave, but unfortunately, just as he was about to raise his leg, he heard Ji Yunkai say: "I can't leave, the Son of Prince Duan should understand this, right?" This was the Emperor's handiwork, designed to embarrass her.

However, Infanta Tao'an was not able to do anything, so he didn't have the time to embarrass her.

The Son of Prince Duan said: "Staying here, Tao'an and I will not lose anything." If he wanted to enter the palace, he would have to face off against the imperial concubines. As for leaving the palace?

The Emperor would most likely not let them leave the palace so easily. "Is that so? His Highness can give it a try." Ji Yunkai pointed to the wounds on her body, and then pointed at the guards who were lying on the ground and wailing in pain.

No matter what, she would insist that the one who injured the guards was Infanta Tao'an.

"What do you want?" The Son of Prince Duan's face sank, he was obviously unhappy. Infanta Tao'an was confused. She looked at Ji Yunkai and then at her brother, unable to understand what was going on.

She was the one who was beaten and bullied. Why did her brother act as if she had committed a huge mistake?

Ji Yunkai said: "We will settle those madams, and then we will settle these Imperial Guards." In short, she would not admit that she was the one who had injured the Imperial Guards no matter what.

"You don't believe me?" If he did not believe it, the imperial physician would. She was so "weak", and the poison in her body was not completely cleansed. How could she have the strength to use a whip? Right? It was impossible for the Son of Prince Duan to refuse her. Those noble women were easy to deal with, but the Imperial Guards on the ground were not.

This matter was impossible to be concealed from the Emperor.

"Then there's nothing to talk about." Ji Yunkai spread out her hands, looking like a scoundrel.

"Aren't you afraid of being drowned by rumors? Your face…." The Son of Prince Duan reminded Ji Yunkai once again that her face was extremely ugly.

Once the news spread out, Prince Yanbei's Mansion would be dissatisfied.

Although Prince Yanbei was someone who was about to die, he would not fall so low to the point of marrying a yaksha.

Ji Yunkai said indifferently: "Do you think I would care?" She did not care about the black spots on her face, but she did care about Prince Yanbei's Mansion's reaction.

The black spots on her face would not disappear for a while. She could avoid it once, but not for a lifetime.

The Son of Prince Duan said: "You are quite open-minded. What a pity that the people of the world will not be as open-minded as you, nor will they have much patience. No one will be able to accept a girl like you. You are far too ugly!" Ji Yunkai's current appearance was not only ugly, but scary.

As if she was trying to verify what the Son of Prince Duan had said, a woman walked over quickly and accidentally saw Ji Yunkai's face. As if she was strangled by a ghost, she involuntarily cried out: "Ah, Ghost! Ghost!"

"Ghost! Ghost! Her face! It's so scary, so scary!" The woman's courage seemed to be exceptionally small. She no longer dared to look at Ji Yunkai, and timidly pointed at her, before she quickly hid herself.

The women looked towards the direction she pointed, and they were all stunned.
