Leaving Jingren Palace, Jixiang was going to find Jiang Peipei to leave the palace with him. On the way, he met Jiang Peipei and Princess Linglong coming over hurriedly with Concubine Gao De.

"Cousin (sister), are you okay?" Jiang Peipei and Linglong asked at the same time.

Jixiang quickly saluted Concubine De: "Jixiang pays homage to the empress."

Concubine Gao De held out her hand to support Ji Xiang: "How long has it been since you still care about these useless etiquette? You don't need to salute when you see me in the future. By the way, what's wrong with you? What did the Queen take you to do just now?"

Jiang Peipei: "She didn't hit you again, right?"

Ji Xiang smiled: "Let me beat her up."

Linglong clapped her hands: "Okay, that's how it should be! Beat them until they are all on the ground. They are all fighting against each other. Whoever is caught will be bullied!"

Concubine De was worried: "Have you taken action against Grandma Sun and the others?"

Ji Xiang nodded.

Concubine De was angry: "How long will the empress continue to make trouble? The emperor won't pursue the matter between you and the prince. Why is she still staring at you? Is she just watching Grandma Sun and the others attack you?"

Jixiang: "She didn't follow her, so she asked Grandma Sun and others to take me to Jingren Palace." Jixiang pointed in the direction of Jingren Palace, "She wanted to throw me in there."

Concubine De was surprised: "Jingren Palace? There are all the concubines who have been relegated to the cold palace. You are not a member of the harem now, how can she put you there?"

Linglong was anxious: "I'm going to find my father and ask him to tell the emperor about this!"

Concubine De wanted to stop Linglong, but after thinking about it, she let her go: "Your idea is not bad. King Annan grew up with the emperor, and the emperor might listen to what he said. In this way, Jixiang, you and your sister will go first Your Majesty, I will also find an opportunity to tell the Emperor about this."

Jixiang salutes: "Thank you, empress, for protecting Jixiang."

Concubine De: "Hey, it would be nice if Prince Ning was in the capital, and he could protect you. Now that he's not here, I can only take one step at a time, and I don't know if I can help you."

Jixiang: "Your Majesty, Jixiang is extremely grateful for these words." Jixiang saluted Concubine De again, "Your Majesty, I will take my sister out of the palace first."

Concubine De signaled them to leave quickly.

Unexpectedly, Jixiang and Jiang Peipei had just taken a few steps when they were stopped by the palace guards who rushed over, "It's Miss Jixiang, please come with us."

Concubine De hurried over: "Where are you taking her?"

Guard: "Go back to your Majesty, a nun at the gate of Jingren Palace was beaten to serious injuries. Those nuns said it was Miss Jixiang who did it. Your Majesty ordered us to take her to the imperial study."

Concubine De breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll go with you."

In the imperial study room, Nanny Sun was lying on the ground crying to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this old slave just took Miss Ji to Kunning Palace on the order of the empress, but she beat the old slave and a few others into such a state on the way."

Queen Wei looked angry: "She made a big mistake by running away from the marriage and eloping with Prince Ning. Your Majesty, you broke off her engagement with the prince regardless of past grudges. Unexpectedly, she was ungrateful, but she still resented the concubine's previous treatment of her." She moved her hands, and today she took the opportunity to attend the leaf viewing banquet in the palace and moved her hands on the old man next to me! Your Majesty, I was only angry because she had embarrassed the prince. I asked someone to teach her a lesson. Shouldn’t we have a meal?”

Emperor Likang looked at Queen Wei and said, "Mother Sun, did the guards say that you were beaten at the gate of Jingren Palace?"

Grandma Sun was startled and quickly looked at Queen Wei.

Queen Wei: "Your Majesty, Grandma Sun just wants to make a detour so that Miss Ji can walk a little longer."

"Yes, yes!" Grandma Sun said quickly, "This old slave wants to kill her because she is disrespectful to the Queen."

"You want to kill me, didn't you already kill me in the imperial garden?" Jixiang and Concubine De came in together, and they saluted first to the emperor and then to Queen Wei.

Queen Wei looked at Concubine De coldly: "Concubine De, what are you doing here?"

Concubine De: "I just met Miss Jixiang on the road. Before I said a few words, the guards were about to bring her over. Anyway, sister, I have nothing to do, so I just came over to see what happened."

Queen Wei curled her lips, snorted coldly, and turned to Emperor Li Kang again: "Your Majesty, this time you can no longer act as a peacemaker for the sake of Prince Ning. You will be punished as you please."

Emperor Likang: "Then how does the queen think I should be punished?"

Queen Wei: "My "Great Sage's Rules and Regulations" stipulates that those who beat people with hairpins will be punished with forty whips; those who hit people with other objects will be punished with sixty sticks; she injured the old man in the palace, causing grandma Sun to lose her limbs. If you cannot take care of yourself in the future, you should be punished for sixty years according to the laws of my Great Holy Dynasty!"

Concubine De exclaimed: "Sister, can Miss Jixiang still survive if the stick is applied for sixty times?"

Queen Wei: "Then if she beat Aunt Sun and the others like this, is it in vain? My great sage has laws. The emperor breaks the law and the common people are guilty. What's more, she is the daughter of a criminal merchant, and she should not be tolerated again and again! "

Ji Xiang: "Your Majesty, the daughter of the people also has something to say."

Emperor Likang: "Say!"

Jixiang: "Mommy Sun and others deceived me outside Jingren Palace on the pretext of taking me to Kunning Palace. They had already made a mistake before, and then they united with many people to attack me outside Jingren Palace to take me Throwing it into Jingren Palace is the second mistake.

"After they took action, I warned them many times that I would be rude if they didn't stop. They still punched and kicked me, trying to tie me up. Then I started to fight back and beat several of the nuns who attacked me. A meal.

"However, except for the leader, Grandma Sun, I didn't really take action against the others. Your Majesty, I was acting in legitimate defense and I am not guilty!"

Everyone was shocked, not expecting Ji Xiang to say these words confidently.

Queen Wei was furious: "Didn't you really do it? You beat them so much that they couldn't even walk. How can you say you didn't do it?! Your Majesty, Jixiang beats everyone like this and you can't be innocent!"

Emperor Likang looked at Ji Xiang and saw that she looked calm and composed, so he ordered Eunuch Guo who was beside him, "Bring those women here too."

"Yes." Eunuch Guo received the order and immediately ordered the little eunuch beside him to do it.

Soon, several women who were beating people with Grandma Sun were brought in.

Ji Xiang took a look and realized that these were all deliberately tampered with. Their hair was disheveled, their clothes were covered in mud, some had bruises and swollen faces, and some were limping. A quick look showed that none of them were in good shape.

Queen Wei glared at Ji Xiang: "Look at them, look at how they were beaten by you, and you still said you didn't do anything?"

Ji Xiang chuckled: "You have gone through a lot of trouble to accuse me of beating someone."

She walked up to the women and looked at their wounds one by one, "Ah, this bruise on my face was just from the injection. Look, it is still red in color. If I had inflicted it before, it should be at this time." It has changed color and is now dark brown."

The woman with fingerprints on her face shouted: "Nonsense, you were the only one who beat me."
