The people from the clinic came up tremblingly to stop the bleeding for Madam Linglong and Xia Wan'er. Their faces turned pale with fear. They didn't expect that such weak and delicate women could be so cruel.
When the prince saw that Xia Zian had injured two people in front of him, he flew into a rage and ordered, "Come on, arrest this vicious woman."
Murong Zhuangzhuang stepped forward and sneered, "I want to see who dares to come!"
Zi'an and Murong Zhuangzhuang exchanged glances and went in.
The prince endured the pain and took a step forward, staring at Murong Zhuangzhuang, "It seems that Grand Aunt is going to meddle in other people's business. You'd better think it over. There will be no good results if you offend me."
Murong Zhuangzhuang said coldly: "Prince, you really overestimate yourself. Take your people back. If you want to avenge your fiancée, go to the government office to file a complaint and let the government office supervise the case."
After that, she ordered the carriage, "Wait outside the door, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
The prince gnashed his teeth and said, "Okay, let's go to the Prime Minister's residence and talk it out. Come, please call the government office."
The prince didn't care about Xia Wan'er at all, he was only concerned about proving himself. Xia Wan'er looked disfigured, and the blood on her face just now made him feel sick. He didn't want to see her again.
The people in the clinic had already stopped the bleeding for Madam Linglong and Xia Wan'er, but the blood on their faces had not yet been wiped off, and they looked extremely hideous.
Xia Wan'er had already woken up and cried to the prince, "Your Highness, please make the decision for us!"
As he said this, he moved closer.
The prince was so frightened that he quickly stepped back, waving his hands and saying in disgust: "Go away, go away, don't get my blood all over you."
Xia Wan'er's face turned pale, she looked at the prince in disbelief, and asked tremblingly, "Your Highness, what did you say?"
The prince waved his hand to the guards and said, "Help me get on the carriage, and send the mother and daughter to their own carriage to the Prime Minister's residence."
"Yes!" The guard hurriedly helped the prince out and almost half-lifted him into the carriage.
Over there, Zi'an had already helped Yuan out. Yuan felt very dizzy and leaned on Zi'an. She could not see and only walked with weak steps.
When Xia Wan'er saw Zi'an and Yuan, she was filled with grief and anger. She wanted to rush over again, but when she met Zi'an's cold eyes, she was startled and stopped, cursing, "You bitch, I'll let my father deal with you when we get back home. Remember, you are courting your own destruction."
Zi'an acted as if he couldn't hear anything. He helped Yuan out, his expression still gloomy.
Madam Linglong stood up with the help of the doctor from the clinic. She felt very dizzy and could hardly stand. Her hair covered her face, all stained with blood, blocking her vision. Her little finger was broken and could not be reattached. The doctor bandaged it and applied hemostatic powder, which temporarily stopped the bleeding, but further treatment was needed.
She stared at Zi'an, her eyes hidden behind her hair, emitting a dark light like a demon in the night. She uttered a word from between her teeth, "Yuan Cuiyu, Xia Zi'an, just wait and see!"
She said so, but it really scared her.
She didn't understand why Xia Zian had become so cruel. He didn't even blink when she chopped off her fingers. The cruel coldness in his eyes scared her so much that she almost thought she saw a demon from hell.
She was very panicked, and she finally began to feel that she was no match for Xia Zian.
Thinking about the whole thing, she didn't know whether Wan'er could keep her position as the Crown Princess. Based on what the Regent said and the Crown Prince's attitude just now, she felt that things might change.
But that shouldn't happen. Wan'er and the prince have already had physical contact. Even if Wan'er is disfigured, the prince still has feelings for her. It will be enough as long as this feeling can last until Wan'er marries him.
Murong Zhuangzhuang helped Yuan get on the carriage. After they sat down, Zi'an held Yuan's hand the whole time.
Murong Zhuangzhuang noticed that Zi'an's wrist was still stained with blood. She took out a handkerchief and handed it to Zi'an, "There is blood on your wrist, wipe it off."
Zian took it silently, "Thank you!"
Murong Zhuangzhuang looked at her with a little more admiration in his eyes. He didn't expect that she dared to attack Chen Linglong and her daughter in front of the prince.
She had said before that she would come to take revenge on her own, and I thought she was just talking, after all, she couldn't possibly compete with the prince.
Unexpectedly, she was so daring and came right up with a knife.
If the Empress Dowager saw that ruthlessness, I wonder how she would like it.
She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Zi'an, weren't you afraid just now?"
Zi'an took out the dagger, wiped it slowly, and raised his head, "I'm just upset that I shouldn't have dirty this dagger, but there was no knife at that time, so I had to use it."
Murong Zhuangzhuang laughed, "You too, why did you come here so suddenly? At least talk to them before you do anything, right?"
Zi'an shook his head, thinking of his eight years as a special agent and military doctor, "Princess, what kind of people do you think are the most terrifying?"
Murong Zhuangzhuang thought for a moment and said, "What a sinister and cunning person."
"No," Zi'an wiped the dagger and looked at Murong Zhuangzhuang, his eyes as bright as torches, "People who don't care about their lives and those who are in high positions are the most terrifying. The prince didn't have many guards just now, and two of them had to support him. If I didn't show my ruthlessness, I couldn't scare them. Moreover, I dared to do this because, firstly, the dagger in my hand was a relic of the previous emperor, and secondly, because the princess was here, no one would dare to act recklessly. If it weren't for these two things, they wouldn't be afraid of me no matter how ruthless I was."
A person who doesn't care about his life, even if he is outnumbered, can still kill several people with his ferocity like a mad dog.
People who are in high positions and have power in their hands can make you live in a state of being unable to live or die. The prince is in a high position and has power, but he is not as good as the regent and the late emperor.
So, with these two things, she dared to fight.
Murong Zhuangzhuang nodded, "Don't be happy yet. Once you return to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the people from the government get involved, it won't be so easy. It doesn't mean that you can scare off the people from the government just because you are ruthless. Once you accept the case, the government will file it. Even the Seventh Master cannot be partial. With so many people watching you attack Xia Wan'er and Chen Linglong, you may not be able to get away easily."
Just now she told the prince to find someone from the yamen, but it was just a threat. She didn't expect that the prince would actually order someone to look for him. Murong Zhuangzhuang was very upset and felt that she had harmed Zi'an.
Zi'an smiled slightly, "This requires the princess's help."
I had to be ruthless just now, but when I get back to the yamen, I have to use my wits.
Murong Zhuangzhuang said: "I don't mind helping you, but I'm afraid I can't be partial to you."
Zi'an shook his head. "I'm not asking the princess to be partial. As long as the princess tells the people in the government office what happened tonight, that will be enough."
Murong Zhuangzhuang said, "But do you think Chen Linglong and Xia Wan'er will admit that they pushed the lady down? They will definitely deny it. Moreover, the prince ordered people to find the government office, which must be the Jingzhao Yin government office. The current Jingzhao Yin, Lord Liang, the nephew of Liang Taifu, is a member of the prince's party. If the government office first trusts Chen Linglong and her daughter, and they see you hurting someone, I'm afraid you will not be able to escape from prison."
Yuan had been listening without saying anything, but suddenly spoke up: "Princess, I am still the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children is clear. Without evidence, the government must believe my words first."
