Chapter 396: Fighting the Princess Together
"It's not for anything else, it's just because I want to hit you. Princess, you may have forgotten that I am the national god. Today, let alone hitting a maid, even if I hit you, I believe that even if the emperor heard about this, he would not have the heart to blame me."
Yi Qianhuan waved at the maids with strong martial arts skills and said, "Since Her Royal Highness Princess is reluctant to let Lianzhi suffer, then you can fight her together."
"How dare you! I am a princess, I...ah!" Princess Lianhe was slapped in the face by the maid before she could finish her words.
She had never been beaten like this before, even in the enemy country. Princess Lianhe felt so painful and angry that she even forgot to resist for a moment and just stood there in a daze.
She hesitated for only a moment before another maid slapped her in the face.
"Stop! I'm a princess!" Princess Lianhe received a third slap in the face. She couldn't understand why her status, which she always used to suppress her servants, was useless at this moment.
Princess Lianhe had no idea that all the maids present had been bullied by her in the past.
In the past, she often went to the Governor's Mansion, and whenever she didn't see Ji Chilian, she would make things difficult for the maids and servants.
Especially some beautiful maids, even if they have never come into contact with Ji Chilian or provoked Princess Lianhe, they will still be targeted by her.
However, because of Princess Lianhe's identity, these maids could not resist even if they were wronged, and over time they inevitably felt resentful.
Normally they couldn't touch Princess Lianhe, but today they had the support of the future mistress, so of course they would seek revenge!
Yi Qianhuan watched this scene quietly, and while continuing to drink tea, he saw the tightly closed door of the hall being pushed open.
Guessing that Ji Chilian should have rushed over after receiving the news, Yi Qianhuan looked up and unexpectedly saw Shen Xiang walking in from outside the door.
"What's going on?" After Shen Xiang entered the room, he looked at Yi Qianhuan, "Lord God of the Country, what did Princess Lianhe do to make you angry that you need to fight like this?"
"Prime Minister Shen, it's clearly the national god who is beating me... woooo!" Princess Lianhe didn't expect that Prime Minister Shen would throw the pot directly on her as soon as he entered the room.
Not to mention anything else, it's clear that she is being beaten now!
But before Princess Lianhe could finish her words, the maids acted at the same time, pinned Princess Lianhe to the ground and beat her up.
Yi Qianhuan understood and sighed heavily, "Please forgive me, Prime Minister Shen. I was really mad at Princess Lianhe, so I taught the princess a lesson on behalf of the emperor. To think that a princess, a princess of the golden branch and jade leaf, actually took the initiative to ask me to recommend her to be the bed-warming maid of the governor. If this matter fell into the ears of the emperor, I don't know how to speculate. As a national god, I can't let the princess lose such a person no matter what, so I taught the princess a lesson."
Seeing that Shen Xiang had a look of sudden enlightenment, Yi Qianhuan took the initiative to stand up and said, "Shen Xiang's arrival is just in time. Although I cannot bear to see Princess Lianhe's self-degradation, she is still a daughter of gold. I will go to the palace to ask the emperor for forgiveness!"
Prime Minister Shen said righteously, "Don't worry, God of the State. I already know the truth, and I will not let the emperor misunderstand your sincerity! Someone, bring Princess Lianhe with you. I will go to the palace in person to tell the emperor the truth of this matter."
Princess Lianhe's face was red, and the marks of several slaps on her face made her look extremely miserable.
Her hair was completely messed up and the rouge and powder on her face were all smudged by her tears.
Prime Minister Shen's attendants have stepped forward to pull Princess Lianhe.
Princess Lianhe knew very well in her heart that if she was brought back to the palace by Prime Minister Shen at this time, her father would definitely not let her go after hearing what Prime Minister Shen said.
“No, no, I…!”
Yi Qianhuan saw the opportunity and flicked a small copper coin hidden in his sleeve. It flew out and hit Princess Lianhe on the back of the neck, knocking her unconscious.
Just at this moment, Ji Chilian just walked in from outside the door.
"Thank you, Prime Minister Shen." Ji Chilian was humble and nodded to Prime Minister Shen, which was considered a simple greeting.
Shen Xiang deliberately sighed heavily: "Don't say these nice things, prepare the good wine in your house, I will come over another day!"
Seeing Ji Chilian agreed immediately, Yi Qianhuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
After Prime Minister Shen and a group of people left, the maids in the Governor's Mansion also tactfully left the hall.
Ji Chilian and Yi Qianhuan were the only ones left in the hall.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I'm just curious. Didn't Lord Du and Prime Minister Shen break up? When did you guys get back together?" Yi Qianhuan could tell at a glance that the relationship between Ji Chilian and Prime Minister Shen was definitely not simple.
"There has never been any rift between this governor and Prime Minister Shen. Back then, this governor just broke off the relationship with Prime Minister Shen, and others speculated that this governor and Prime Minister Shen were not getting along. This governor has never minded how others view this governor, so I have never explained it over the years." Ji Chilian said calmly, as if this matter was not a big deal.
Yi Qianhuan doesn't think so.
Others speculated about the relationship between the two, not only because Ji Chilian and Shen Xiang broke off their relationship, but also because they had always been at loggerheads with each other for so many years.
But from the way the two of them were getting along harmoniously just now, she guessed that the discord was probably deliberately disguised for those who were not in the know.
This should be considered a big secret of Ji Chilian. His willingness to expose this is also a disguised way of showing his trump card in front of her.
"Princess Lianhe has recently used the Dragon Shadow Guards and often found excuses to enter the Governor's Mansion. I have already instructed the gatekeepers that no matter what excuses she makes, she will not be allowed in again." Ji Chilian said suddenly as he sat next to Yi Qianhuan.
"But she is Yubao's savior after all. Will you be criticized for doing this?" Yi Qianhuan was a little worried.
Although she doesn't care, there is a saying that people's words can be scary.
"Are you concerned about me or Yubao?" Ji Chilian did not answer Yi Qianhuan, but changed the subject and asked.
Yi Qianhuan was somewhat puzzled, and answered honestly: "You two are from the same roots, so it doesn't matter whether I care about you or Yubao."
Ji Chilian was not very satisfied with Yi Qianhuan's answer.
"You don't have to worry about this, because Princess Lianhe is not Yubao's savior. After my investigation, the colorful stone that harmed Yubao was prepared by Princess Lianhe's people."
"Is there any connection between Princess Lianhe and Qilizhuang?" Yi Qianhuan's eyes darkened.
"I can't be sure yet. But I can at least be sure that Princess Lianhe knows a lot about the Seven Colored Stones. She may know who bought the Seven Colored Stones."
"In that case, we should let her come to the Governor's Mansion more often. Only by having more contact with her can we obtain more intelligence!" Yi Qianhuan thought so and suddenly felt a little regretful.
If she had known that Princess Lianhe was related to the seven-colored stone, she should have been more drastic just now!
