Chapter 575 The Villainous Female Supporting Character Who Impersonated the Tyrant's Savior 30
"I am the daughter of Princess Siming, the only princess of Tianqi Kingdom! Stop it all!"
Wen Zhixi's voice drew surprised looks from everyone.
"The daughter of Princess Siming? My goodness! Princess Siming was personally appointed by His Majesty, and is said to be His Majesty's most trusted person. I've heard that His Majesty's harem is empty because he's waiting for her..."
"I've heard that too. General Qin's only child was raised in the palace from a young age. The late emperor bestowed upon her the imperial surname, making her far more favored than ordinary princesses. I've heard she has done His Majesty a great favor..."
"His Majesty must dote on this princess, and even the treacherous Prime Minister Xia probably wouldn't dare offend her. This Miss Zheng is likely in for a terrible time..."
The two constables stopped in their tracks, looked at Xia Xizhi, and were unsure whether they should continue arresting him.
Xia Xizhi raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, so it's Your Highness the Princess."
“But Your Highness, the laws of Tianqi Kingdom stipulate that the emperor is subject to the same laws as commoners. You cannot simply stop at my command. I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I am determined to administer this punishment today.”
Then his expression changed, and he spoke sharply.
"Take people away!"
"Yes!"
Without saying a word, the two constables took the person away without even glancing at Wen Zhixi.
Offending this princess might result in punishment, but offending this treacherous minister would mean certain death.
They know perfectly well whose advice to listen to.
"you!"
Wen Zhixi was so angry that she felt a lump in her throat.
Her mother was the most favored eldest princess of the Tianqi Emperor!
The emperor's uncle's most trusted person!
How dare he!
The onlookers were all surprised, exchanging glances and whispering among themselves.
"No, how arrogant! They don't even give the Princess any face."
"To be honest, I suddenly feel that this treacherous official is actually quite selfless..."
The crowd looked at Xia Xizhi with a hint of admiration.
"Do you really think he's a treacherous minister?" some people began to doubt.
"Isn't that obvious? He's definitely a treacherous minister! Don't be fooled by appearances; he must have taken a liking to Miss Zheng to be so protective of her..."
These words made Zhao Yanshu's expression darken even more.
When Madam Zheng was taken away, she was so frightened that she fainted. She was dragged away by the constables.
Zheng Qingwan's face was pale and bluish-purple.
She was about to be dragged away and flogged, but Zhao Yanshu didn't say a word.
Zheng Qingwan gritted her teeth and finally spoke as she struggled to be dragged away.
“Yanshu, I will take those twenty lashes for Grandmother, don’t worry.”
She was trying to get Zhao Yanshu to help her, but Zhao Yanshu's eyes were fixed on Zheng Baozhu, and he completely ignored her.
Zheng Qingwan noticed Zhao Yanshu's gaze, her face suddenly darkened, and a sinister glint flashed in her eyes.
Bitch!
He's still thinking about that filthy bitch!
"Yanshu! I'm most worried about my sister. She's not coming home; she's definitely hooking up with some shady characters outside... How will she ever get married? Please help me persuade her..."
While struggling to avoid being taken away, Zheng Qingwan spoke with a seemingly worried expression.
The constables, growing impatient and showing no mercy, began to pull and tug.
"Come on! Stop pretending!"
He forcefully pressed her arm behind her back and forcibly took her away.
The two were dragged to the yamen gate and flogged, and the crowd followed to watch the spectacle.
Wen Zhixi gave Xia Xizhi a cold look, then turned and left.
As the crowd dispersed, Xia Xizhi narrowed her eyes slightly as she watched Wen Zhixi leave. She chatted with Zheng Baozhu for a few moments before departing as well.
Only Zhao Yanshu remained, standing motionless in front of the furniture shop entrance.
Zheng Baozhu instructed Manager Wang to watch the shop while she continued moving furniture with the servants. As she passed Zhao Yanshu, she ignored him and only hummed in response.
“A good dog stays out of the way.”
Zhao Yanshu grabbed her wrist, pursed his lips,
"Six months ago, on the first day of the second lunar month, did you send me a letter announcing your annulment, saying you'd fallen for someone else and wanted to elope with them? Did you also say you'd never loved me, that you loathed me, and that I shouldn't cling to you and marry you..."
Zheng Baozhu stopped in her tracks, frowning.
"I'm breaking off the engagement? I don't know what you're talking about."
"Elope? I was kidnapped by bandits, didn't you know?"
Thinking of something, Zheng Baozhu's expression changed.
"Fine! Zhao Yanshu, I never thought you were this kind of person! You spread rumors that I eloped just so you wouldn't marry me, didn't you? You shameless woman!"
Snapped!
Zheng Baozhu slapped Zhao Yanshu hard across the face.
After Zhao Yanshu took a hard slap, he gripped Zheng Baozhu's wrist tightly, his eyes red, and said...
“Baozhu, there’s a misunderstanding between us. I received a letter in your handwriting, which made me think you despise me, that our marriage was just an arrangement by our parents, and that you eloped with someone. That’s what your sister and the Zheng family told me…”
He was furious and sent people to arrest them, but they couldn't find them.
"Baozhu, I had no idea you had suffered so much. The only person I want to marry in this life is you!"
Zheng Baozhu paused, stunned for a moment, then shoved him away and sneered.
"No matter what misunderstandings there were, you still agreed to marry Zheng Qingwan, didn't you? It's not like I can't live without you. Get lost."
"Baozhu, there's a misunderstanding here, let me explain!"
Zheng Baozhu ignored him and left without looking back.
.......
After Zheng Baozhu left, Zhao Yanshu's expression suddenly turned gloomy.
"The Zheng family is courting death!"
.......
After Wen Zhixi left, she smashed a teacup at the Princess's residence and spoke in a cold and stern voice.
"Make arrangements. The Imperial Guard who found the Meng family's letters as evidence, no matter what means they use—whether it's threatening his family or coercing him—make him admit that it was that treacherous minister Xia who ordered him to frame General Meng. Get it done immediately!"
The people around her paused.
"Yes!"
.......
night.
Xia Xizhi was already asleep in bed at home when Junze carried her out of bed and took her to the palace.
"I said, from now on you'll sleep with me. Disobeying? Hmm? Speak!"
"Your Majesty, you are the true dragon. I am too weak to withstand such a strong dragon aura. Please forgive me!" Xia Xizhi, who was in a bad mood when he woke up, started spouting nonsense.
Junze smiled, leaned down and kissed her rosy, full lips, then held Xia Xizhi's lower lip in his mouth and bit it lightly.
Little troublemaker, you're really good at making things up.
Junze placed his hand on her lower back and whispered in her ear.
"My dear minister, your health is frail; you should absorb more of my dragon energy. The more you receive my nourishment, the more you will be able to withstand my power in the future..."
The hot breath sprayed on Xia Xizhi's ear, and Xia Xizhi's ears immediately burned, and she became alert.
