Your Majesty, Please Stop!

Chapter 246: Ji Yao Yue's Situation

In the span of over an hour, the entire capital city had descended into chaos. Several grand mansions were destroyed, engulfed in raging fires.

Residents scattered in all directions, shouting and screaming. The city guards and imperial troops from the Thirteen City Garrison and the Forbidden Army rushed to the scene in panic, attempting to put out the fires, but they couldn't keep up with the speed of destruction.

Senior officials from the Six Ministries and Six Departments were furious beyond measure. Some of them planned to go to the Jiang family to plead for mercy, while others went to the imperial palace to lodge complaints. More people rode their horses and rushed towards Jiang Yuqing, attempting to intercept him!

Qinglan Lane.

In the highest tower, Su Wuji stood by the window, his hands behind his back, his figure sharp and profound like a sword. Only a hint of a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "This kid is interesting! It's been decades since anyone dared to do such a thing!"

Wearing a white robe, Su Miaojin stood tall and elegant, but her face showed a worried expression as she asked softly, "Father, is he really not in any danger by doing this?"

"No danger! The emperor's plan has already been set, and it cannot be changed at will!"

Su Wuji seemed to have become much more relaxed in an instant, laughing heartily. "Not only did I not expect it, but even the emperor and the prime ministers would never have imagined that Jiang Yuqing would dare to do this! If Jiang Yuqing is punished, the plans for the Western Regions and the Southern Li will be ruined! They can't afford it! This little guy is truly interesting. He guessed the emperor's and the prime ministers' intentions, seized the loophole in the imperial edict, and fought fire with fire. He's bold and daring, yet he doesn't cross the line. How many young people in the world can match his courage?"

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Su Miaojin's mouth as well, but then she became somewhat puzzled. "He destroyed the Fengtian Tower and killed at least two hundred disciples from various prestigious families. Isn't he afraid of retaliation from the top experts in the future?"

"Um..."

Su Wuji fell into contemplation. This was something he hadn't considered either.

Even the Grand General, who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, couldn't understand Jiang Yuqing's intentions at this moment.

...

Right Minister Feng Sihu stood on a high building with his grandson and granddaughter, observing the chaos in the capital city. Unable to contain himself, he burst into laughter. "A bunch of old dogs, lifting a stone only to drop it on their own feet. It's truly laughable!"

"Grandfather, you have great foresight. You actually didn't take the opportunity to harm others and avoid this disaster!"

A young man with a smile all over his face flattered him.

Feng Sihu stroked his beard, his face filled with the smugness of an old fox. "Of course the court wouldn't really wipe out the Jiang family. Otherwise, how would they deal with the elite troops of the Western Qin, the only remaining elite troops among the tens of thousands of troops? How would the officials from various regions who are attached to the Jiang family handle themselves? How would those princesses handle themselves? In this world, we can't just look at the present!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw hundreds of figures rushing towards him. His face changed drastically, and he almost pulled out his beard. He quickly leaped to the top of the building and angrily shouted, "Prince! You can't do this! I share the same political views as you!"

"Uh, just a gesture..."

Xin Zhuo, with bloodshot eyes, paused for a moment, waved his hand, and commanded the puppet to smash the door of the Feng family. With a loud crash, the sturdy door turned into a pile of rubble. Then he turned and ran away.

"Grandfather..."

Feng Shuning performed a beautiful somersault and arrived next to Feng Sihu. "What does the Jiang family prince mean? Why did he smash our door?"

Feng Sihu fell into contemplation. When did he provoke him?

"Huh?"

Feng Shuning suddenly pointed towards the direction of the imperial palace in surprise. "Did Jiang Yuqing go to the imperial palace?"

Feng Sihu's face turned pale. "He's showing off to the emperor. This kid is truly bold!"

...

Jiang Family.

The guests had already dispersed, and many people felt a hint of regret in their hearts because they didn't witness the wedding ceremony between the Western Qin Prince and the Princess Changguo with their own eyes!

A grand wedding, with tens of thousands of people sending off the bride, and tens of thousands of people in attendance. They didn't even see the Western Qin Prince personally welcoming the bride.

This was somewhat improper.

The servants in the mansion were busy cleaning the courtyard, while Zhengguo Princess and the others gathered in the Lanqing Courtyard, their faces filled with worry.

They still hadn't found out where Jiang Yuqing had gone, and the wedding had almost become a joke.

"Did Shengping go to the Fengwei Courtyard?"

Princess Zhengguo let out a sigh and asked Lirun who was beside her.

Regardless of whether they had gone through the wedding ceremony or not, since Princess Shengping has entered the Jiang family's door, she is now a daughter-in-law of the Jiang family. This is witnessed by the entire city and is a marriage bestowed by the emperor. It cannot be changed.

Lirun bowed and paid her respects, a trace of worry appearing on her face. "I just went there! Nuying, Yuqi, and the palace maids were with her!"

"Is she emotional?" Princess Liyang asked.

Lirun shook her head. "It's hard to tell. Since Princess Shengping entered the mansion, she hasn't shown any expression."

The group fell silent. To be honest, they knew about the conflict between Jiang Yuqing and Princess Shengping. But from their perspective, misunderstandings would always be resolved. As a wife, she would apologize to her husband, show goodwill, and after consummating the marriage, everything would naturally be resolved.

Princess Zhengguo pondered for a while and said, "The maids and guards under Yuqing's command are no longer here. Knowing his temperament, he probably went straight to the Western Regions. The expenses for Shengping in the future cannot be lacking. Everything should be done according to the standards of a prince!"

Lirun had just bowed and agreed when a group of court officials burst in from outside. "Is there anyone managing the Jiang family? Hurry and persuade the prince. The homes of the officials in the entire city have been ransacked by him, and hundreds of people have died!"

"Uh..."

...

"Creak!"

The doors of Fengwei Court were pushed open.

The entire courtyard was pitch black and silent, with a coldness that carried the traces of time, but there was not a single person in sight.

"Light the lamps! Light the lamps!" Jiang Yuqi hurriedly rushed in with her maidservants, lighting red lanterns along the way.

Jiang Nuying and Jiang Yugu stood on the left and right, looking towards the entrance.

Princess Shengping, dressed in a red phoenix embroidered wedding robe with tassels, was tall and slender. She had light makeup on at the moment, with fair and delicate hands like jade, lightly brushing her eyebrows. Her lips were painted red, her eyes like autumn water, and there was a beauty mark at the corner of her lips, making her stunning and unattainable.

In terms of appearance alone, she was the most beautiful woman in the world, but that was all.

However, there was no trace of emotion on her face at the moment, completely lacking the joy and shyness that a princess bride should have.

She swept her gaze across the courtyard and walked in with graceful steps.

The palace maids and court ladies followed closely behind.

They walked all the way to the Lanyan Pavilion, where the surroundings were already brightly lit and festive.

She glanced at the bridal chamber filled with red, the red candles, the wedding couplets, and the red satin embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, then walked towards the main hall opposite.

The doors of the hall were closed, with a line of white characters written on them:

"You should know shame!"

"This is simply unreasonable!" an official angrily rebuked. "A princess of a country, the emperor's sister, without asking for his affection or care, doesn't even have the most basic respect?"

"How deep is the hatred? Must it be like this?"

Jiang Yugu, Jiang Yuqi, and Jiang Nuying looked at each other, unable to speak.

Ji Yao Yue, on the other hand, walked to the front of the hall, calmly tore off the note, pushed open the doors, and walked in. Step by step, she walked to the desk where Xin Zhuo usually sat.

Waving her long sleeves in her red robe, she sat down straight, her back upright, looking down at the dumbfounded crowd below.

The court ladies endured and endured, but couldn't hold back any longer. "Princess, it's not just the Jiang family that has men. Even if you don't marry, you can still handle the affairs of the Six Ministries like the princesses of the previous dynasty! This Prince of the Jiang family is really disrespectful!"

Ji Yao Yue finally spoke, her voice gentle. "He should do this. It's only right for him to kill me!"

Jiang Yugu and the others fell silent. They couldn't bear to hear such words, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

The court lady and the palace maids couldn't help but choke up. The court lady still didn't understand and wiped her eyes, lowering her voice. "Then why..."

Ji Yao Yue let out a sigh as if murmuring to herself. "Pass a message to him for me!"

The court lady was taken aback. "I don't know where he is."

"He must be in front of the Imperial Palace's Zhengtong Gate! With his temperament, if he doesn't regain his dignity before leaving, he won't feel at ease in his heart!"
