All the gentlemen who are attacked by the female queen are stunningly beautiful

The two minor officials knelt under the table and trembled, their eyes full of fear and helplessness, and they did not dare to agree with Yang Tao rashly.

When the time came, Yang Tao turned out to be a coward. Not only did he shirk responsibility, he also refused to admit his guilt!

Song Xiang smiled lightly and said with a slightly creepy tone: "Unjust? I have collected sufficient evidence, and you still dare to quibble!"

"It doesn't matter if you refuse to admit it, but Lord Yang will be able to speak up! I will be kind enough to send you and these two gentlemen to the Dali Temple for tea! Okay?"

"Your Highness, calm down!" Yang Tao stepped forward hurriedly on his knees and said, "Although I invited Master Sang Wan to drink tea, I did not treat him with contempt. Your Highness, please understand and do not bring this to the Dali Temple!"

Song Xiang said coldly, "Yang Tao, you are an official appointed by the court, but you have corrupt morals. It's ok to force Sang Wan to drink, but you also want to rape her. How can you live up to the trust of His Majesty and the expectations of the people? I will report this to His Majesty and have you dismissed and investigated to rectify the government!"

"According to the laws of our dynasty, officials can only hire courtesans to perform and accompany them for drinking, but they cannot keep them in bed with them. Anyone who violates this will be punished with 60 strokes of the cane. Does Lord Yang treat the laws as waste paper?"

Yang Tao was anxious, he knelt on the ground, and kept begging: "Your Highness, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. I beg Your Highness to forgive me. I will never dare to do it again."

Song Xiang didn't want to listen to his excuses, so he said directly: "Humph, you have committed such a serious mistake, how can you forgive him! Come, take Yang Tao away and send him to the Dali Temple, and let the Dali Temple Minister deal with him!"

Yang Tao panicked and kept kowtowing and begging, "Your Highness, please spare my life. I was just confused for a moment."

Song Xiang sneered: "Confused? Can a word of confusion cover up your guilt? Your foolish behavior has caused great disaster to others. Since I have seen it, how can I let you off easily!"

Seeing that soft tactics didn't work, Yang Tao resorted to hard tactics directly, saying with contempt, "You are just a princess without real power, you have no right to deal with me. I am an official appointed by the court, not some nobody!"

Song Xiang pretended to pick his ears and said to the guards on both sides who had already broken into the door: "Take him away!"

"That's right!" Song Xiang looked at the two people on the ground and said, "Send these two to the Dali Temple and investigate them together!"

"Your Highness, please spare us! Your Highness, please spare us! We were wronged by Lord Yang..."

The guards gagged him and then dragged him away.

Song Xiang stood up and walked to the couch. Looking at Sang Wan, who was clutching the front of her robe, he asked softly, "Are you... okay?"

Sang Wan whimpered, suddenly stood up, threw herself into Song Xiang's arms, sobbing continuously, and said with tears in her eyes: "Your Highness, Sang Wan is so scared!"

Song Xiang quickly reached out and gently embraced her, comforting her in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm here and I won't let them hurt you again."

Sang Wan sobbed, tears in her eyes: "Your Highness, Sang Wan is really wronged by being bullied like this."

"If it weren't for His Highness's protection, Sang Wan would have... would have..."

"I've lost my innocence a long time ago... woo..."

Song Xiang patted him on the back and whispered to him, "It's all over. No one will bully you anymore..."

"Yes, Your Highness! If one Yang Tao dies, there will be another. As an official prostitute, Sang Wan will have to deal with these officials for the rest of her life. This kind of thing will never stop!"

"Your Highness can't possibly protect Sang Wan forever!"

"Who said that!" Song Xiang looked unhappy, "I will always take care of you. If anyone dares to bully you, I will never let him off easily!"

"Your Highness, wuwu..." Sang Wan burst into tears, crying with extreme grievance, "Your Highness, please take me!"

"Your Highness, Sang Wan knows that I am of humble status and cannot serve as your Highness's servant, so I dare to ask your Highness to let Sang Wan be my personal servant, okay?"

"As long as Your Highness asks, the Music Department will certainly agree. Then Sang Wan will be able to leave her status as a slave and serve Your Highness..."

"Please don't abandon Sang Wan, Your Highness."

"Isn't the Director of the Music Department Lord Chuntai?" Song Xiang hesitated, "That man is mysterious. Will he agree to my request?"

Sang Wan stopped crying, looked up in astonishment and said, "Your Highness, you are His Majesty's legitimate princess. His Majesty has granted you a title. Although you have no official rank or power, you are already a first-rank official. When you have completed your studies at the Imperial Academy, you will be able to hold a court position and be granted an official position. With such a respectable position, how could the Director of the Music Department not accept you?"

"Uh..." Song Xiang thought for a while before saying, "If I were to shed my status as a slave for you, would you be willing to find a decent girl to marry her as your maid?"

"Sang Wan doesn't want to!"

Song Xiang asked in confusion, "You would rather be my personal attendant than marry someone and become my servant. Why? Are you willing to be alone for the rest of your life?"

Sang Wan lowered her head slightly, her face slightly reddened: "Your Highness, Sang Wan has selfish motives."

"Sang Wan... Sang Wan has something in her heart that she wants to tell His Highness, but she doesn't know whether she should say it or not."

Song Xiang looked at him gently and said, "Just say it."

Song Xiang took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Your Highness, when Xuan Yang first met Sang Wan, she was fascinated by your talent and learning. Since then, Sang Wan has been looking forward to meeting you every day, and even more looking forward to receiving your new poems every day. Your care and consideration are like a spring breeze blowing through my heart."

"Unconsciously, Sang Wan has started to have thoughts about you that shouldn't be there. These thoughts haunt me day and night, making it hard for me to fall asleep."

Song Xiang was surprised, and then said with unsteady breathing: "So, you actually have such thoughts about me."

Sang Wan argued anxiously, "Your Highness, Sang Wan knows that my status is far from yours, so I dare not ask to be your servant. I only hope that your Highness can understand my feelings."

Song Xiang frowned and said, "Don't belittle yourself like this. I really don't know how to respond to your feelings..."

"How about this, give me some time to think it over carefully, and then arrange for you to be exiled, how about that?"

Sang Wan burst into laughter, knelt down, bowed respectfully and said: "Thank you for your help, Your Highness. Your Highness is so kind, Sang Wan has no way to repay you, the only thing I can do is to serve you personally and repay your kindness bit by bit."

"If Your Highness does not abandon me, Sang Wan is willing to follow Your Highness for the rest of my life and never let you down."

Song Xiang personally helped her up, lifted up Sang Wan's messy hair and tucked it behind her ears, then stroked her hair and said softly, "I will take you to the wing room first, let Sui An help you bathe and change clothes, and watch over you to have a good sleep. When you calm down, we can talk about other things, okay?"

Sang Wan was very sensitive at the moment. He noticed the reserved and distant tone in Song Xiang's voice, and immediately threw himself into Song Xiang's arms and begged in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, can you accompany me?"

"Wait until I fall asleep before you leave, okay?"

"Okay! I promise you! I'll take you back to your room first!"
