Chapter 25: Heavy Punishment
Students and teachers not far away heard Yuan Yuan's cry for help and hurried to their side.
When Zhui Feng saw a little girl holding a girl with scissors stuck in her back, he was so frightened that he ran towards Yuan Yuan at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
"Miss Xinxin, are you okay?" Zhui Feng looked around the little girl anxiously, fearing that there was something wrong with her.
"Woooooo! Zhui Feng, please save her!" Yuan Yuan couldn't help but cry for help as soon as she saw Zhui Feng coming. It was the first time she encountered such a terrible situation, and she was so frightened.
"Come here! Go and report to His Highness the Crown Prince! Go and fetch the imperial doctor!" Zhui Feng said as he carefully placed the injured Zhou Xiaoxue face down on the stretcher.
Everyone looked at Zhou Xiaoxue who was seriously injured by Fu Shirou in fear. One of the girls said tremblingly, "Sir, Fu Shirou and the four of them ran away."
The husband frowned at the messy scene, and immediately sent someone to notify the Fu family and the Zhou family. Normally, he would just turn a blind eye and close an eye when Fu Shirou was showing off her teeth and claws. But now she dared to hurt people. It was really outrageous.
Disregarding human life!
Doctor Zhang and Yan Huai arrived one after another. When Yuan Yuan saw Yan Huai coming, he cried and threw himself into his arms, sobbing and complaining. Doctor Zhang immediately had Zhou Xiaoxue carried to the room of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for treatment.
Everyone was brought back to the East Palace by the guards. Fu Shirou took the opportunity to escape and the other three people were also brought over by Zhuiyun himself.
Looking at His Highness the Crown Prince sitting at the top, and Yuan Yuan who was crying with red eyes in his arms, Fu Shirou started to feel scared. She didn't expect His Highness the Crown Prince to care so much about this poor man with no family background.
"You have such vicious thoughts at a young age. Since your family doesn't know how to teach you, then let me do it for you." Yan Huai patted his original wish and glanced at Xiao Dezi beside him.
"Come here, Your Highness has an order. The girls of the Fu family and below are guilty of bullying Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. They have no regard for the king's laws and have no dignity. I will give you twenty beatings with the cane and execute it immediately!" As soon as Xiao Dezi finished speaking, Fu Shirou was escorted out of the hall by the guards for execution.
Fu Shirou's curses, begging for mercy and screams resounded throughout the hall, making everyone in the hall feel numb. The three people who followed Fu Shirou to bully others quickly knelt down in the hall to beg for mercy.
"Please, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Crown Princess, please spare your life. I know I was wrong!"
"Fu Shirou forced us to do it! We know we were wrong! Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Yan Huai was upset by the quarrel between the three of them and raised his hand to signal Xiao Dezi to work.
"Shut up! How can we allow you and others to make such noise in the East Palace? The daughter of the Chen family, the daughter of the Li family, and the daughter of the Du family, are lawless, and they actually teamed up with evil women to bully the Crown Princess. According to my law, Yan, each of you will be slapped twenty times!"
Then the three of them were escorted out of the hall by three strong nuns and tortured. The sounds of slapping and begging for mercy were mixed with each other.
"Your Highness, Prime Minister Fu and Concubine Xian have arrived, and Mr. Chen, Mr. Li, Mr. Du and Mr. Zhou are all outside the East Palace asking for an audience." Zhuiyun stepped forward to report.
"Let people come in." Yan Huai gave the order, and the other students and gentlemen present were taken out of the hall. Yuan Yuan was also taken back to the dormitory by Qing 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 bruised and swollen, several people entered the main hall angrily, bowed to Yan Huai casually, and then began to pray for their respective daughters.
The daughter cried out and begged for mercy.
When Prime Minister Fu entered the house and saw his little daughter's torn body, he was so angry that he was trembling with anger. Now that he saw that Yan Huai was still so ignorant and did not take the Fu family seriously, he couldn't help but angrily scolded Yan Huai for making a fuss out of a molehill.
"Why would His Highness the Crown Prince punish the daughter of an important minister so severely for such a trivial matter? They were just a little fight between girls. His Highness the Crown Prince's torture would be like subjugation into submission!"
Yan Huai patted the angry man and signaled Qing Yi to send him back to the dormitory before facing the Fu brothers and sisters.
"Prime Minister Fu has such great official authority. It seems that in Prime Minister Fu's eyes, bullying the Crown Princess or even killing the Crown Princess is nothing more than a trivial matter? If even his own Crown Princess suffered such humiliation, he could not do anything for her.
In order to seek justice, why not give up the position of the crown prince to your Fu family?"
When everyone heard this, they quickly knelt down and apologized, "I am scared! Your Highness, please calm down!"
The Concubine Xian was different from the courtiers. She met Yanhuai every day in the court, and she only thought that they were afraid of the identity of the Crown Prince of Yanhuai. However, as the favorite concubine of Emperor Yan, although her status was not as noble as the Crown Prince of Yanhuai, she was still more noble than the Crown Prince of Yanhuai.
Why don't you become a mere princess?
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is serious. My brother and the others did not mean this. But the Crown Princess is fine now. I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince can spare Shirou girl for the sake of this palace. In the future, the family will definitely discipline Shirou strictly. Please
Your Highness, please spare her life for the sake of her young age and ignorance."
Yan Huai gave her a mocking look. The Fu family really dared to stretch out their hands and intervene in the affairs of his East Palace. After receiving favor for a few days, he really thought that he was the master of the harem? How ridiculous.
"After the murderer receives the punishment he deserves, you can naturally take him away. As for Master Zhou's beloved daughter, she will be rewarded heavily for saving the crown princess."
"Thank you, Your Highness. It's my honor to be able to block this disaster for the Crown Princess. However, I don't know what the current situation is. Please allow me to go and visit my daughter first." Mr. Zhou responded to Yan Huai's thanks without being humble or overbearing, and then made his own request.
.
"Come here, take Lord Zhou to the Imperial Hospital. I will pass on the orphan's warrant to ensure that Miss Zhou is safe." After Yan Huai said this, a eunuch led Lord Zhou to the Imperial Hospital.
Seeing Lord Zhou leave, Prime Minister Fu and others had the idea of interceding for their daughters again, but Yanhuai did not intend to give them a chance. He stood up and said, "Come here, watch them get punished before allowing them to leave."
After Yan Huai finished his explanation, he strode out of the hall. Prime Minister Fu and others could only watch Yan Huai's retreating figure until the punishment was over. Seeing their unworthy daughter, the adults from all the families dared to be angry but dared not speak, and could only gnash their teeth.
He took his useless daughter back.
Seeing that Yan Huai was 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, right?"
Pulling her to sit down on the soft couch, Yan Huai took her hands and began to check whether she was injured, "Did they hurt you?"
Yuan Yuan shook his head, but leaned against his chest with some wilting, "Yan Shenzhi, they locked me in the clean room together, they are so bad! I hate them!"
"That Fu Shirou said that I only let you pity me after my parents died, and she even scolded me for being a loser."
"Uuuuuuuuuah... I hate Yan Shenzhi! She even pokes me with scissors! If Zhou Xiaoxue hadn't saved me, I wouldn't be able to see you!"
Tears wet the clothes on Yan Huai's chest, and he gently patted her thin back and coaxed, "Stop crying. I will never forgive those who bully you."
"Didn't I tell you that you don't need to pay attention to people who don't matter? It's destiny for you to be Gu's crown prince, so what does it have to do with other people?"
"Xinxin, you just need to know that in this East Palace, no one can get past you. Anyone who wants to bully you, you just deal with it, and I will take care of everything for you."
