Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next morning, Yu Niaoniao was eating breakfast when she saw Ling Hai rush in.
“County Princess Consort, sothing bad has happened!”
Yu Niaoniao had to put down her bowl and chopsticks. “What’s wrong?” Ling Hai panted.
“Early this morning, the soldiers of the Imperial Capital rushed into Qirui Garden aggressively. They said that they wanted to seize Qirui Garden and arrest everyone in Qirui Garden to be sent to the border.”
Yu Niaoniao’s expression changed. ‘What right do they have to arrest them?”
Ling Hai shook his head. “I don’t know.”
Yu Niaoniao did not even bother to eat breakfast. She put on her cloak and quickly ran out.
Ling Hai hurriedly chased after her.
Because she was in a hurry, Yu Niaoniao did not ride a donkey this ti. She and Ling Hai rode separate horses and went straight to Qirui Garden.
When they arrived at Qirui Garden, they saw that the entrance of the theater had been sealed. Liu Qirui and the people in the theater were all shackled. The soldiers of the Imperial Capital were about to take them away.
“Wait!”
Yu Niaoniao stopped them.
Everyone looked at her. The mont Liu Qirui and Liu Sixing saw her, their eyes lit up, like dying people who had caught a life-saving piece of driftwood.
“Boss!”
Yu Niaoniao dismounted and asked the soldiers of the Imperial Capital. “What right do you have to arrest them?”
The leader looked Yu Niaoniao up and down and asked, “Who are you?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “I’m the boss here. If you want to arrest soone, there has to be a reason, right?”
The official avoided her question and said, “Since you’re the boss, arrest them all ! ”
The soldiers of the Imperial Capital were about to go forward to arrest her when Ling Hai, who had followed closely behind, shouted.
“Stop! How dare you attack our County Princess?!”
The soldiers were stunned.
They were not the only ones. Everyone in Qirui Garden was stunned.
Did they hear wrongly? Ling Hai had just ntioned the Princess Consort? Their boss was actually the Princess Consort?
The soldiers did not dare to move anymore, and the officials were a little hesitant.
‘May I ask which residence you are the Princess Consort of?” Ling Hai jumped off the horse. “Duke Lang’s Palace!”
Everyone was even more surprised.
Liu Qirui had long guessed that his boss was extraordinary, but he did not expect her to be the legendary Princess Consort of Lang County.
He looked at Yu Niaoniao in disbelief, as if he had not really known her until this mont.
No wonder she could take out 3,000 taels of silver in one go.
No wonder she insisted on using Duke Lang as the protagonist in the show.
No wonder she was so confident and was not afraid of the Eagle Guards looking for trouble.
All of this was because she was the Princess Consort of Lang County!
The official asked cautiously.
“How can you prove your identity?”
Yu Niaoniao pointed at the horse beside her. “Do you see the symbol on the saddle? Even if you don’t know , you should know this symbol, right?”
The horses in the county king’s residence were all equipped with special saddles. Every saddle was engraved with the county king’s emblem.
The official leaned over to take a closer look and imdiately recognized that it was the emblem of the Regional King’s Mansion!
At this mont, a soldier leaned over to the official and whispered to him. “Lord, she’s really the Princess Consort of Lang County. I’ve seen her before.”
The official was surprised. “You’re just an ordinary soldier. How did you et the Princess Consort of Lang County?”
The soldier’s expression beca strange.
“You were only transferred to the Imperial Capital this year, so there are so things you don’t know.”
“Two years ago, Assistant Minister Yu’s eldest daughter ran away from ho.”
“That night, I was patrolling the city with my companions and bumped into her. We didn’t know her identity, so we arrested her.”
At this point, his voice involuntarily lowered, looking very guilty.
“After that, Duke Lang personally ca to the cell to take her away.
After that, she entered the cell twice, so I have a deep impression of her. It’s impossible for to mistake her for soone else.”
The official felt like he was listening to a heavenly book.
The eldest daughter of the dignified Assistant Minister actually ran away from ho in the middle of the night and was thrown into jail three tis in a row.
This was too ridiculous!
Although the soldier deliberately lowered his voice, Yu Niaoniao still heard their conversation.
She did not expect to et soone she knew who would even dig up her glorious history.
Yu Niaoniao upheld the principle that as long as she was not embarrassed, others would be and said righteously, “If you still don’t believe , you can send soone to the Justice Departnt or Duke Lang’s Palace to ask imdiately. I’ll wait for you here. How about that?” How could the officials dare to doubt him anymore?
He imdiately took a step back and bowed.
“Greetings, Princess Consort!”
Seeing this, the soldiers knelt on one knee.
The people of Qirui Garden naturally did not dare to stand anymore. In the blink of an eye, everyone knelt on the ground.
Yu Niaoniao said, “Now can you tell why you arrested them?”
The official looked troubled.
Yu Niaoniao said, “Why? Do you think I’m not worthy of knowing the reason?”
The official hurriedly said, “No, no! I actually don’t know what cri Qirui Garden has committed. It’s an order from the palace to seal Qirui Garden imdiately.”
Yu Niaoniao imdiately understood.
It must be an order from the old emperor!
Not only did he punish Xiao Juan, but he also wanted to seal Qirui Garden.
He was completely cutting off Xiao Juan’s escape route and would never give him a chance to clear his na.
Seeing her expression turn extrely ugly, the official spoke carefully.
“Although the people in the palace didn’t say it explicitly, I can actually roughly guess the reason. It’s nothing more than for the show Duke Lang in Liaodong. The main character in the show is Duke Lang. This is really a little taboo.” Yu Niaoniao said, “Everyone in Qirui Garden is innocent. You can’t arrest them!”
The official looked helpless. “The emperor has said that it’s useless even if they’re innocent. We still have to arrest them. Otherwise, we won’t be able to report it.”
Yu Niaoniao was so angry that her face turned pale.
In this era where the imperial power was supre, the emperor would do whatever he said. Even if he accused a deer or horse of heinous cris, no one dared to say anything.
So what if there was no evidence? He could accuse soone with a word. He was rude and shaless.
The official knew that Duke Lang was not to be trifled with. He was afraid that the Princess Consort of Lang would go back and complain to Duke Lang. When that happened, he would be the one to suffer later.
He did not want to offend either side, so he lowered his voice and said to Yu Niaoniao.
“The Princess Consort should know very well that this matter is not big or small. As long as you change the content of the show, this matter will be over.” Yu Niaoniao suppressed her anger and asked, “How do you want to change it?”
The official said, “It’s not how I want to change it, but how the person in the palace wants to change it?”
Yu Niaoniao wanted to refuse.
However, when her gaze swept across everyone in Qirui Garden, she could not reject them.
She could take the risk for Xiao Juan, but she could not let the others suffer with her.
Everyone was born and raised by their parents. Why should they be sent to the border for an unrelated person?
Yu Niaoniao took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the anger and unwillingness in her heart.
“Alright, I’ll change it!”
The official imdiately bead. “That’s good, that’s good! As long as you’re willing to give in, this matter will be easy..”
