The eldest princess is a captive and the abstinent official is seductive

Chapter 7 Does she want to make trouble?

After arguing outside the Princess's Mansion for half an hour, after the verbal threats took effect, Lu Guozhong and Shen Mo started fighting.

However, after more than fifty moves, Lu Guozhong was seriously injured and was defeated by Shen Mo.

Lu Guozhong is a man of high character, and he is definitely ranked in the top ten in the imperial capital. However, Shen Mo, who lives in the Princess's Mansion, is a real man of high character, and Lu Guozhong is no match for him.

After being knocked away with a palm, Lu Guozhong fell heavily to the ground, and his internal organs seemed to be displaced.

Other Jinyiwei came forward one after another, and Shen Mo raised his hand and waved: "Qilin Guards!"

The black-clad guards with swords rushed out neatly, with a fierce momentum, more intimidating than the imperial guards in the palace.

The Jinyiwei looked at them, and hesitation appeared on their faces.

The emperor said that it should be solved by force. The Qilin Guards under the command of the Princess's Mansion are all very brave and good at fighting. If one of them fails to meet the standard of riding, shooting and swordsmanship, he will be eliminated.

If they are determined to compete with the emperor, the Jinyiwei will be their opponent.

"The Princess... The Princess openly disobeyed the order, which is a great rebellion!" Lu Guozhong was helped up from the ground, and tremblingly pointed at Shen Mo and the Qilin Guards, "I will definitely tell the emperor and let the emperor punish you for treason!"

After saying this, Lu Guozhong left in embarrassment with Jinyiwei.

If the emperor still suspected Wen Jin of deliberately letting him go after being turned away, then when he saw Lu Guozhong coming back injured, Emperor Zhaoming's face instantly darkened.

"Didn't see Yan Qing?"

"I'm incompetent!" Lu Guozhong knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging with all his might, "I failed the emperor's trust. Shen Mo from the Princess's Mansion was too presumptuous. I didn't even see the Princess. The Kirin Guards were disrespectful to the emperor and were rebellious. They were going to commit a crime!"

Emperor Zhaoming almost crushed the imperial pen in his hand.

Yan Qing!

Xiao Chongshan's face became even uglier. What did the Princess want to do? She even dared to beat the Jinyiwei chief steward who went there by order. Did she really want to commit a crime?

The atmosphere in the imperial study dropped to freezing point, and a low pressure enveloped.

Emperor Zhaoming was silent for a long time.

"Your Majesty." The personal eunuch Wei Changhai said carefully, "Do you want to let the regent come forward?"

When Emperor Zhaoming heard this, his expression became more gloomy: "Do you mean that my weight is enough to intimidate the princess?"

"I deserve to die!" The eunuch knelt down with a plop, "I don't mean that, Your Majesty, spare my life!"

"General Xiao." Emperor Zhaoming suppressed the murderous aura in his heart and kept his voice calm, "What do you think we should do?"

Xiao Chongshan was slightly shocked and bowed his head and said: "Jinghan was wrong first. I think the princess was furious, so she made a sensible move. She didn't really intend to offend the emperor."

The emperor had just ascended the throne. Although most of the civil and military officials in the court supported the new emperor, the regent had greater power, and Princess Yan Qing had accumulated a reputation as a "lonely star", which made many people stay away from her.

The number of Qilin Guards under her control is large, even small compared to the regular army, only a thousand people.

But no one dares to question the combat effectiveness of Qilin Guards, one against ten.

Moreover, Qilin Guards have privileges.

At this time, if the emperor confronts Yan Qing head-on, it will not benefit anyone, so he needs a step.

Emperor Zhaoming looked much better after hearing this. "What Xiao Aiqing said is right. Yan Qing must be furious, so she did something irrational."

Xiao Chongshan said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"Let's do this." Yan Chen quickly made a decision. "Let Yan Qing calm down first. Tomorrow morning, you go to the Princess's Mansion in person and try to apologize to her. Then take Xiao Jinghan home and discipline him. After that, let Xiao Jinghan apologize to Yan Qing and promise not to go to the brothel again. In this way, Yan Qing will naturally calm down."

"Yes."

Xiao Chongshan accepted the order and thanked him. He left with a gloomy mood.

Yan Chen sat behind the imperial desk, staring at his tall back as he walked away, picked up the teacup next to him and smashed it out-

Crack!

The teacup broke into five pieces on the black brick floor.

The eunuchs and palace servants knelt on the ground, prostrating themselves, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Calm down?

Yan Chen's expression was gloomy, but he couldn't calm down, and even hated to tear Yan Qing into pieces immediately!

However, thinking of his father's words before his death, he had to suppress his anger and force himself to calm down.

My father said that the territory of the Celestial Empire is now facing a dangerous situation of collapse. He has just ascended the throne and his prestige is enough to intimidate the kings. Only Yan Cang can intimidate them and curb their ambitions.

However, Yan Cang holds military power, makes plans, and has an arrogant personality. He doesn't take the emperor seriously at all. Appointing him as regent is a move that he has no choice but to do. Over time, he is afraid that it will threaten the imperial power, so he needs another person to restrain him.

This person is Princess Yan Qing, who was exiled to Suzaku City since childhood.

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculated that Yan Qing could only live to the age of 25, so even if she was allowed to take charge of the Qilin Guard, it would pose a threat to the throne. And it happened that she was here to counter the Regent, giving him more time to win over the ministers in the court, consolidate the throne, win over the people's hearts, and eliminate the Regent.

Therefore, he should turn against Yan Qing for Xiao Jinghan, and a princess who would die sooner or later would not affect the overall situation.

The person he really wanted to guard against was the Regent Yan Cang.
