I traveled to the era of female supremacy and became a bad woman

Chapter 171: Bold Madman

Duke's Mansion,

Jiuyi handed the red plum to Bai Jinzhi personally, "Your Highness, King Jin, the master asked me to personally deliver this red plum to you."

Bai Jinzhi, who was reading a book, didn't even glance at Jiuyi and Hongmei. He just said coldly, "Put it down."

After putting it down, Jiuyi looked up and quietly glanced at Bai Jinzhi's expression. Seeing that he looked unhappy, he said, "Your Highness, King Jin, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

After saying that, he left immediately.

After Jiuyi left, Black Hawk walked towards the table where Hongmei was placed and said, "Master, please order someone to put this Hongmei away."

Bai Jinzhi glanced at the red plums on the table and said, "This king doesn't like red plums. Throw them out."

Black Hawk cupped his fists and said, "Yes."

By the evening, the Duke's Mansion had prepared a carriage, and King Jin, his son and his two children naturally rode in the same carriage.

After getting in the car, Duke Feng glanced at his rebellious sons sitting on either side of him. After what had happened in the past few days, he had wanted to take this opportunity to scold them, but the two of them just looked at each other without saying a word, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Duke Feng sneered, "I told you not to marry the same master. What good is that princess? You've caused such jealousy!"

At this time, Bai Mohan looked at his father with a smile, "Father, you are wrong. I am afraid it is my brother who is jealous. I will always remember the importance of brotherly love and respect. It is my honor to serve the same master with my brother."

The black shadow heard what King Mo said outside and curled his lips. Good tea. When I saw my master tea Nangong Shang and Xiao Qingyue before, I didn’t think so. Now that my master is teased by his own brother, I know how difficult it is for others.

Duke Feng looked at his son's pretentiousness and snorted coldly, "You are so generous. You don't want to be a prince, but insist on being a concubine. You are really promising."

Bai Jinzhi looked out the window, "Why does brother Mo Han like Her Royal Highness?"

Bai Mohan chuckled, "Of course it's the same as Brother Jinzhi."

Seeing the two people like this before they even entered the Princess's Mansion, Duke Feng was really helpless. He gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph!"

When they arrived at the palace, there were so many people coming to the banquet that the entrance was blocked by carriages. When the Duke's carriage arrived, all the officials' carriages pulled aside to make way. After all, he was the Duke and the noble prince of Yan State, the protagonist of the day, and his status was noble.

After getting off the carriage, several people headed towards the palace.

Due to the cold weather, the banquet was held in the main hall.

There are floor stoves along the walls of the main hall. Even though it is freezing and snowy outside, it is very warm inside the hall.

As soon as they entered the main hall, their outstanding looks attracted everyone's attention.

Jiang Ruoyue, the daughter of Prime Minister Jiang, sat at the head of the noble ladies of the official family. She watched the two people enter. Like everyone else, she couldn't take her eyes off them, but she felt jealous.

A noble lady beside him whispered, "Sister Jiang, is this the second prince of Yan Kingdom? He is so handsome and elegant."

Jiang Ruoyue glanced at the person beside her with disdain and said in a high and cold voice, "This is the future wife of Her Highness the Crown Princess. Don't talk nonsense and stir up trouble."

The noble lady next to her looked at her with an arrogant attitude and felt resentful. She thought about how she had been bullied by Gu Xixi in the past, and now she was acting so aloof again. She was so self-righteous.

At this time, the Queen had arrived. After a few casual words, she handed the banquet over to the Second Princess. She drank two glasses of hot wine and left.

Bai Jinzhi noticed A Zi who was following Xiao Siying very early on. Although A Zi had no status, she had an exclusive seat, which must have been arranged by the princess.

Ah Zi had never been to a banquet before, so naturally no one recognized her. She was only focused on eating. The dishes and desserts in the palace were exquisite and delicious. Her little mouth was stuffed full, her lips sizzling with food, and those watching her eat couldn't help but take a few more bites.

Xiao Siying was a close confidant of the Crown Princess, had many military achievements, was outstanding in appearance, and had the support of the entire Xiao family. He was a well-deserved new noble in the court, and naturally sat in a front seat.

But Ah Zi was sitting right below her, very close to her. Those who could sit there had to be at least a third-rank official, which caused dissatisfaction among the crowd.

At this time, Xiao Yushan took Xiao Siying to drink and chat with other ministers, leaving her alone at the seat.

Naturally, some people would take this opportunity to make things difficult for her.

Jiang Ruoyue was the daughter of the prime minister, but her position was not as high as hers, a commoner. She was dissatisfied for a moment and walked up to her with several officials and noble ladies.

A group of women in luxurious attire stood in front of A Zi, who was wearing a red dress. She looked very pretty, which was out of tune with the luxurious atmosphere of the banquet, but very otherworldly.

Seeing someone blocking the light in front of her, she wiped her mouth and looked up.

Ah Zi, "Who are you?"

Jiang Ruoyue smiled gently, "May I ask if this sister is General Xiao's... friend?"

Ah Zi was furious. She was so old, and she still called me sister? So she said rudely, "What's it to you?"

Seeing her so rude, the noble ladies covered their mouths and chuckled. Jiang Ruoyue sneered inwardly, looking down on her, but she didn't show it on her face. "I wonder what rank you hold, sister, and why you're allowed to sit here. Even if you're General Xiao's friend, you can't be disrespectful. His Majesty hates people who disregard etiquette the most."

Ah Zi, "I'm not an official, I'm just an ordinary person. They assigned me here, so I'm here naturally. Who do you think you are? How dare you show off here? Do you believe I'll beat you up?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and laughed, "How can you be so vulgar and unpresentable? I am the daughter of the Prime Minister, how can I be compared to you?"

Ah Zi couldn't argue for a moment, so she stood up and said, "Say it again!"

Jiang Ruoyue looked her up and down, "Could it be that you still want to fight? You really are a country girl."

As soon as these words came out, Ah Zi went up and slapped Jiang Ruoyue to the ground...

Everyone was dumbfounded... They actually fought?

Jiang Ruoyue herself didn't expect that she would dare to act like this.

Then he fell to the ground, holding his chest and unable to get up.

Prime Minister Jiang and Jiang Lin were chatting with other ministers. Upon seeing this, they immediately came over and said, "Who are you? How dare you commit a crime at His Majesty's banquet? Come, arrest her!"

At this time, several imperial guards rushed out and tried to catch Ah Zi. How could Ah Zi be caught obediently? She grabbed a handful of powder and sprinkled it on the imperial guards, who then fell to the ground. The fallen imperial guards had blue and purple faces and wailed.

Seeing this scene, Prime Minister Jiang and the other officials pointed at her and said, "You bold lunatic! Behead her right here!"

Ah Zi put her hands on her hips and pointed at Jiang Ruoyue and Jiang Xiangguo, "You guys want to try it too? I'll grant you my wish!"

Just as she was about to take action, Xiao Siying grabbed her hand and said sternly, "Azi, stop."

Ah Zi's face was full of joy, "Sister Siying, you are here, this bitch bullied me."

Xiao Siying looked at Jiang Ruoyue who was knocked to the ground by A Zi, and clasped his fists for a moment, "Please don't make a fuss, Prime Minister Jiang. All compensation will be borne by this general."

This incident caused a huge uproar, and the Second Princess, Feng Yaoxue and other princesses also gathered around and saluted.

The Second Princess Feng was still looking at the Royal Guards and Jiang Ruoyue on the ground, her brows furrowed. She seemed to have seen this woman before in the Crown Princess's Mansion. She seemed to be the Crown Princess's personal attendant, but to act like this was really outrageous.

The Second Princess said, "Come here, capture this man."

The Imperial Guards were about to advance again, but Xiao Siying quickly restrained Ah Zi's hand as she was about to poison him, kneeling down and clasping his hands. "Second Prince, this is my younger sister. This is her first time attending a banquet, and she doesn't know the rules. My General's Mansion is willing to bear all the punishment and compensation."

Prime Minister Jiang was shaking with anger, pointing at Ah Zi and saying, "Look at this lunatic. He refused to kneel before the princes. You say you can bear the consequences? Committing violence in the palace is a capital offense. Disrespecting the princess is also a capital offense. Can your Xiao family bear the consequences?"

At this moment, Xiao Siying suddenly pulled Ah Zi to her knees and angrily shouted, "Ah Zi, don't be rude, kneel down."

Only then did Ah Zi kneel down reluctantly, but she knelt straight with a look of unwillingness to admit defeat.

Feng Yiran was also furious when he saw her like this. This woman actually disrespected the princess. When the princess was not around, she committed a crime in the main hall without permission. This was really inappropriate. "Take her away and put her in the prison."

Several people stepped forward and were about to lift A Zi up. At this time, A Zi looked at Bai Jinzhi and Bai Mohan, asking for help.

The two were princes of the Yan Kingdom, so it was not easy to take action, and A Zi had indeed hurt someone.

Bai Mohan sat at the top seat and said coldly, "Jiang Ruoyue has no demeanor of a noble lady from an official family. She was beaten up for her provocative words, but she is crying thief, what are you doing with this woman?"

Everyone looked up at the table above. Feng still knew that this was the Crown Princess's concubine wanting to help her relatives. "Even so, this is the main hall of the Imperial Palace. Injuring people at will, and injuring so many Imperial Guards, is a capital offense. According to the law, you must be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and await Your Majesty's judgment."

If I wait for the Empress's judgment, I will be injured if not killed.

Bai Jinzhi stood up and walked slowly in front of everyone. Every step he took made everyone hold their breath and watch. He was so elegant and handsome.

Bai Jinzhi walked up to Jiang Ruoyue, looking at her with a pair of peach blossom eyes, a smile on his lips, and squatted down to greet her, "I wonder if Miss Jiang is seriously injured?"

Jiang Ruoyue looked up at Bai Jinzhi. This was the first time this person spoke to her. She was stunned for a moment and said tremblingly, "No... not heavy..."

After getting the answer, Bai Jinzhi immediately stood up without any hesitation, "Since there is nothing wrong, just compensate. Ah Zi, why don't you detoxify the Royal Guards? Don't be naughty, otherwise I will tell Qing Mu and I will definitely punish you!"

Everyone knew that King Jin was trying to rescue the woman, and they were really puzzled. Logically, they had no relationship, but when they suddenly heard Qing Mu's name, everyone present gasped.

No wonder King Jin, King Mo, and General Xiao all wanted to help this woman. She was originally a disciple of the legendary doctor Qing Mu. Everyone knew that Qing Mu was the grandfather of the Crown Princess, a legendary doctor. Looking at the reclining Royal Guards, I could only think that this poison was truly powerful...

It really lives up to its reputation...

Ah Zi stood up and immediately went to detoxify the man.

It seemed that the matter was about to come to nothing and end with compensation.

Prime Minister Jiang bowed to Feng Yiran and spoke confidently, "Second Prince! The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people! Regardless of whether he is Qing Mu's disciple or not, the fact that the main palace injured someone is a fact. Please deal with it impartially."

Ah Zi was furious. She stood up and pointed at Jiang Xiangguo and cursed, "You old woman! Your daughter insulted me first, and I just slapped her casually. How could you..."

"Be bold!"

The Second Princess Feng continued to scold, this woman was really bold.

Xiao Siying quickly stood up and pulled Ah Zi over to kneel down again, whispering, "Shut up! You've gotten into big trouble this time."

Feng Yiran said coldly, "Come here, capture him!"

The Imperial Guards stepped forward and arrested A Zi. They ignored the pleas of Xiao Siying and others and took A Zi away.

Bai Jinzhi looked helpless and sat back down. Forget it, I'll think of another way.

Xiao Siying knelt down and said, "Second Prince, please forgive Ah Zi. The General's Mansion is willing to compensate for all losses and bear the responsibility."

Feng Yin glanced at Xiao Siying. "You are Her Highness's servants. Your every word and action concerns Her Highness, so you should be more cautious. General Xiao, please be careful with your words and actions. Someone, take Miss Jiang to the side hall and summon the imperial physician to treat her."

Supported by palace maids and surrounded by officials and noble ladies, Jiang Ruoyue was taken away, looking so weak that she could not even walk.

The banquet resumed as usual...

Xiao Siying stood up, sat back in his seat, and clenched his fingers into fists. Now that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess was under house arrest by His Majesty, he was unable to rescue A Zi. The purpose of bringing A Zi into the palace today was to poison the Second Princess.

It was also because of my carelessness. I didn't expect A Zi to be so bold. I failed to complete the mission and was caught. I also understood the feeling of Jiuyi and General Xue who were on guard against me getting into trouble.

After thinking about it, he realized that the two people with the highest status here were none other than those two. So he stood up, raised his glass of wine, and walked to the table where Bai Jinzhi and Bai Mohan sat. "I'll toast to the two princes."

Bai Mohan smiled, "General Xiao, please stand up quickly. No need to be so polite."

Bai Jinzhi didn't drink, but just sipped his tea and didn't respond.

Xiao Siying whispered, "Her Highness is under house arrest now. Please, Your Highnesses, rescue Ah Zi."

The two did not speak a word...

Waiting for a long time without a reply, Xiao Siying bowed his head and clasped his fists again, "A Zi is an important person to Your Highness, and you treat her as your own sister. I beg Your Highnesses to help."

Bai Mohan said in a gentle voice, "General, please get up quickly. I will help you."

Xiao Siying looked up excitedly, "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Mo, I will know..."

Just as he was about to say something to praise King Mo, Xiao Siying stopped himself wisely and glanced at Bai Jinzhi secretly. Forget it, it was really not easy to offend King Jin. He was the former God of War of Shang State and the future Crown Princess. It was better not to offend him.

Xiao Siying, "Then I'll have to trouble His Royal Highness Prince Mo."

Bai Mohan nodded.

This matter had already reached the Empress and the Crown Princess's Mansion.

The Empress remained expressionless after hearing this, holding the tranquilizing soup in her hand. "This person is hers. She wanted to bring him out and didn't properly manage him. She really deserves to be punished. Qing Mu's apprentice has his own temperament."

At the Princess's Mansion, when Jiuyi entered the bedroom to report, the maids were serving her medicine.

Hearing this, Feng Zhaoyun sighed helplessly and lay on the bed. "Azi's actions are very bold, and she deserves to be punished. Since it was the Second Princess' order, and His Majesty hasn't been alerted, you take my token and enter the palace now. Find my Second Princess and tell her that I'm seriously ill and that I'm summoning Azi back for treatment. The punishment will be done by the Crown Princess's residence, and the palace will personally supervise it. Also, take some things and go find Jiang Ruoyue in person to tell her not to cause any more trouble."

Jiuyi clasped his fists and said, "Yes."

In the main hall of the palace, everyone was still feasting.

Jiuyi entered the hall, followed by the princess's personal guards, and everyone was polite and friendly.

Jiuyi walked to the front and saluted the Second Princess. "Second Prince, the Crown Princess is seriously ill and has been cared for by A Zi, a disciple of the Qingmu Divine Doctor. I wonder if A Zi is available? Please follow me out of the palace and go to the Crown Princess's residence to treat the Crown Princess."

Knowing that she was here to ask for help, Feng Yiran said, "A Zi committed a crime in the main hall and has been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. I wonder how the Crown Princess is feeling. Can we temporarily send the imperial physician there?"

Jiuyi, "Her Highness is seriously ill, and Ah Zi needs to go in person. His Highness said that Ah Zi's actions are indeed punishable. After the medical treatment is completed, the Crown Princess will punish her personally, and the judicial officer may be asked to supervise the punishment. Please do not interfere, Your Highness. The Crown Princess is a precious body, and if anything happens during the delay, it will be a serious crime."

The Second Princess Feng Yin had originally not wanted to be an enemy of Feng Zhaoyun, but since she had already come up with such an excuse, it was difficult for her to stop her. "Well, the safety of Her Highness the Crown Princess is paramount. General Nine, go and fetch her quickly."

Jiuyi, "Yes, thank you, Second Prince."

After saying this, he left the main hall, but did not go to the sky prison, but went to the side hall.

In the side hall, the imperial doctors surrounded Jiang Ruoyue. Prime Minister Jiang, several officials and nobles, as well as Jiang Lin were all in the hall.

Jiang Ruoyue enjoyed this treatment very much. Not only did she get rid of this woman, but she also received the favor of the royal family and the care of King Jin. She was very satisfied.

The arrival of Jiuyi shattered the beauty in her heart.

Seeing Jiuyi enter, Jiang Xiangguo hurried forward and asked, "But what are your instructions, Princess Crown Princess?"

Jiuyi saluted Prime Minister Jiang, followed by several palace maids holding wooden trays.

Jiuyi, "Greetings, Prime Minister. The Crown Princess is seriously ill and urgently needs the miraculous doctor A Zi to return to the palace for treatment. I heard that Miss Jiang was injured, so I was specially sent to express my condolences. A Zi will definitely be punished by the Crown Princess's mansion, and the palace judicial officer will supervise the punishment. These are rewards from the Crown Princess, so please don't despise them, Prime Minister."

Prime Minister Jiang didn't dare to disrespect the princess and could only bow respectfully. "I wonder how your Highness is doing? This is a trivial matter. Please, General, please give your Highness my regards on my behalf. I will personally come to express my gratitude another day."

Jiuyi nodded and said, "Please leave. Her Royal Highness has a few words to convey to Miss Jiang alone."

Prime Minister Jiang said, "Yes, everyone, please go out and wait with me."

When there was no one in the hall, Jiuyi walked towards Jiang Ruoyue.

Jiang Ruoyue was already afraid of Feng Zhaoyun, and she was even more frightened when she saw Jiuyi, so she hugged her legs and shrank into the couch.

Jiuyi walked to the bedside, and although he had a smile on his face, his voice was extremely cold. "His Highness said that he hopes Miss Jiang will not cause any more trouble, behave herself, and take good care of her injuries. Miss Jiang, can you do that?"

Jiang Ruoyue's voice trembled, "I can do it..."

Jiuyi nodded, turned and left the side hall.

Heading to the prison...
