My concubine is in trouble again

Chapter 25 Heavy Penalty
The students and teachers not far away heard Yuanyuan's cry for help and rushed to their side.

When Zhuifeng saw the little girl holding a girl with scissors stuck in her back, he was so frightened that he sprinted to Yuan Yuan's side at a speed of [-] meters.

"Miss Xinxin, are you okay!" Zhuifeng anxiously looked around the little girl, afraid that she might be wrong.

"Woooo! Zhuifeng, save her!" Yuan Yuan couldn't help crying for help when she saw Zhuifeng coming. This was the first time she encountered such a terrible situation, and she was terrified.

"Come here! Go and tell His Highness the Crown Prince! Go and invite the imperial physician!" Zhuifeng said while carefully placing the injured Zhou Xiaoxue face down on the stretcher.

Everyone looked at Zhou Xiaoxue who was seriously injured by Fu Shirou in fear, and one of the girls said tremblingly, "Sir, Fu Shirou and the four of them ran away."

Looking at the messy scene with a frown, the gentleman immediately sent someone to inform the Fu family and the Zhou family. On weekdays, Fu Shirou would open his eyes and close his eyes when Fu Shirou flaunted his teeth and claws, but now he dared to hurt others. Disregard human life!

Physician Zhang and Yan Huai arrived one after the other, Yuan Yuan cried and threw herself into his arms when he saw Yan Huai coming, and began to sob and complain, while Physician Zhang immediately asked Zhou Xiaoxue to be carried to the room of the Chinese Academy for treatment.

Everyone was brought back to the East Palace by the guards, and the other three who Fu Shirou took the opportunity to escape were also brought here by Zhuiyun himself.

Seeing His Highness the Crown Prince sitting at the top, and the original wish in his arms with eyes red from crying, Fu Shirou began to feel afraid. She never thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would care so much about this shabby householder with no family background.

"Your mind is so vicious at such a young age, since your family doesn't know how to teach it, then I will do it for you alone." Yan Huai patted the original wish, and glanced at Xiao Dezi beside him.

"Come here, Your Highness has an order. The daughters of the Fu family have committed crimes and oppressed Her Highness the Crown Princess. There is no such thing as a king or a law or dignity. You can be beaten twenty times with a cane and executed immediately!" As soon as Xiao Dezi finished speaking, Fu Shirou was escorted out of the hall by the guards for execution.

Fu Shirou's cursing and begging for mercy and screams resounded throughout the hall, and everyone in the hall felt their scalps go numb. The three who followed Fu Shirou's bully quickly knelt down in the hall and begged for mercy.

"I beg Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Crown Princess, please forgive me, I know my mistake!"

"Fu Shirou forced us to do it! We know we were wrong! Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Yan Huai was annoyed by the quarrel between the three of them, and raised her hand to signal Xiao Dezi to work.

"Shut up! You are not allowed to make noise in the East Palace! The daughters of the Chen family, the daughters of the Li family, and the daughters of the Du family are lawless, and together with the villainous women, they bully Her Highness the Crown Princess. According to my Dayan law, each slaps her mouth twenty times!"

Then the three were escorted out of the hall by three strong nuns to be tortured, the sound of slapping and begging for mercy mixed with each other.

"Your Highness, Prime Minister Fu and Concubine Xian have arrived, and Lord Chen, Lord Li, Lord Du, and Lord Zhou are all seeking to see you outside the East Palace." Zhui Yun came forward to report.

"Let someone come in." Yan Huai gave an order, and the other students and gentlemen present were taken out of the main hall, Yuan Yuan was also taken back to the dormitory by Tsing Yi first.

Prime Minister Fu, Concubine Xian and others entered the East Palace and went straight to the main hall. Seeing the daughters of each family who had been beaten to pieces and swollen, they rushed into the main hall angrily. The daughter begged for mercy.

Prime Minister Fu was trembling with anger when he saw his youngest daughter's bruised body before entering the house. Now seeing that Yan Huai was still so repulsive and didn't take Fu's family seriously at all, he couldn't help but angrily scolded Yan Huai for making a fuss out of a molehill.

"Why does His Highness the Crown Prince punish the daughters of important ministers so severely for such a trivial matter? They are just a small squabble between girls, and His Royal Highness's torture like this is a trick of torture!"

Yan Huai patted the angry man, and signaled Tsing Yi to send him back to the dormitory before meeting the Fu brothers and sisters.

"Prime Minister Fu is such a powerful official. It seems that in the eyes of Prime Minister Fu, bullying the Crown Princess, and even killing the Crown Princess, is nothing more than a trivial matter? If your own Crown Princess has been bullied like this, you can't do it for her. To seek justice, it is better to hand over the crown prince position to your Fu family."

When everyone heard this, they immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, "I'm terrified! Your Highness, please calm down!"

Concubine Xian is different from the courtiers, she meets Yan Huai every day in the court, just thinking that they are afraid of the identity of Prince Yan Huai, but as Emperor Yan's favored concubine, although her status is not as noble as Prince Yan Huai, she is still more noble than Prince Yan Huai. Aren't you just a princess?
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is serious. My brothers and the others didn't mean that, but the Crown Princess is fine now. I wonder if His Royal Highness can forgive Shi Rou for the sake of my palace. In the future, the family will strictly discipline Shi Rou, please. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spared her life because she is still young and ignorant."

Yan Huai glanced at her mockingly, the Fu family really dared to stretch out their hand, how dare they interfere in the affairs of his East Palace, after a few days of favor, would they really consider themselves the master of the harem?It's ridiculous.

"After the murderer receives the punishment he deserves, you can naturally take him away. As for Master Zhou's beloved daughter who saved the Crown Princess, I will pay you a lot."

"Thank you, Your Highness. It is my honor to be able to save the princess from this disaster, but I don't know what the situation is right now. Please allow me to visit my daughter first." Master Zhou responded to Yan Huai's thanks without being humble, and then made his own request .

"Come here, take Mr. Zhou to the imperial hospital, and pass on the orphan's warrant to keep Miss Zhou safe." After Yan Huai finished speaking, a eunuch led Mr. Zhou to the imperial hospital.

Seeing Mr. Zhou left, Chengxiang Fu and the others thought of interceding for their daughter again, but Yan Huai didn't intend to give it a chance, so he stood up and said, "Come here, let them leave after watching them finish their punishment."

After Yan Huai explained, he strode away from the main hall. Fu Cheng and others could only watch Yan Huai's disappearing figure until the punishment was over. Looking at the ugly daughter, the adults of all families dared not speak out and could only grit their teeth. He took his useless daughter back without hesitation.

Seeing Yan Huai came back, Yuan Yuan pulled him anxiously and asked, "Yan Shenzhi, are the bad women here to save that Fu Shirou? You won't let them go, will you?"

Pulling her to sit on the soft couch, Yan Huai took her hands and began to check whether she was hurt, "Did they hurt you?"

Yuan Yuan shook his head, but leaned against his chest a little listlessly, "Yan Shenzhi, they locked me in the clean room together, they are too bad! I hate them!"

"That Fu Shirou said that I depended on the death of my parents, and you pity me so that you let me be your princess. She even scolded me for being a shabby householder."

"Wooooow... I hate Yan Shenzhi! She still wants to poke me with scissors! If Zhou Xiaoxue hadn't saved me, I wouldn't have seen you!"

Tears wet the clothes on Yan Huai's chest, he patted her thin back lightly and coaxed, "Stop crying, I will never spare those who bully you."

"Didn't Gu tell you that you don't need to pay attention to people who don't matter. It's a destiny for you to be the lonely princess, so what does it have to do with others?"

"Xinxin, you just need to know that in this Eastern Palace, no one can pass you by. Anyone who tries to oppress you, you just deal with it, and I will take care of everything for you."
