Chapter 302 He Bullies Me, so I Have to Endure It?

"Have all the Kang family members been brought back?"

Yun Si nodded: "They were taken to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Prime Minister Ji took these women to see the Queen. The Queen originally wanted to appease them, but she didn't expect them to suddenly go back on their words."

Rong Ning sat stiffly for a moment, and now it seemed that she had finally found her voice: "Did Your Highness the Princess misunderstand something in Yanling before? Father has always said that the Kang family acts in moderation and loves the people like their own children. It is absolutely impossible for them to take women by force."

"Miss Rong knows what kind of person Kang Zixu is better than he does himself." Yan Li glanced at her lightly, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone, "I will soon find out who made them go back on their words and lie halfway. . "

After that, he stood up and said, "Do you want to stay here and continue to enjoy the flowers, or go with me to the Qinzheng Palace?"

Madame Pan reminded in time, "Your Highness, the Qinzheng Palace is where the Emperor and the Empress handle government affairs. Outsiders--"

"It doesn't matter." Yan Li said in a light tone, "They can wait outside the palace and just watch the excitement."

"I will go with Your Highness, the Princess." Xuan Xuan said, raising her chin provocatively to Rong Ning, "I just want to see how a scum like Kang Zixu died."

Rong Ning's face was gloomy, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I will go and see too."

She didn't believe that the wives and concubines of the Kang family had turned against them, and the Empress had other reasons to punish the Kang family.

The Princess took advantage of her power to bully others as soon as she came back, framing a meritorious family.

The civil and military officials in the court would never sit idly by.m.

Yan Li sneered and turned to walk out.

Several noble ladies who were supposed to enjoy the flowers in the Imperial Garden soon followed Yan Li to the Qinzheng Hall. After the general manager informed them, Yan Li and Yun Si walked in, while the others stood outside waiting.

Yun Si bowed and saluted: "Empress, the Princess is here."

In the Qinzheng Hall, everyone turned their heads and looked over.

Yan Li did not speak, and his eyes slowly swept over the people in front of him.

Prime Minister Ji, General Xuan, General Rong, several middle-aged officials, and four princes were also there.

Kang Zixu's concubines knelt on the ground, each of them looked haggard and pale, with a frail body, and looked fragile.

The days of traveling by boat and carriage were really hard on the delicate women. The women were visibly tired, and they should also be under great psychological pressure.

Yan Li's eyes swept over them and turned to look at Prime Minister Ji and General Xuan.

The two met Yan Li's eyes, and a trace of helplessness flashed across their eyes. Their expressions were not very good. Obviously, they did not expect the victim to suddenly go back on his words.

Although even if they did not admit that they were victims, it would not be possible to change the situation of the Kang family, but this behavior was really frustrating.

"Li'er." Jiang Yi frowned slightly and looked at her without expression, "They said they were not forced."

"Imperial sister." Yan Chen spoke, his expression was not happy or angry, "These are all Kang Zixu's wives and concubines in the backyard. They admitted that they were willing to commit to Kang Zixu, not forced as the imperial sister said. There must be some misunderstandings."

Misunderstanding?

Yan Li smiled slightly, without even looking at Yan Chen.

She could guess what was going on without asking - someone must have threatened them.

Women are weak and powerless. When their lives and those of their families are threatened, it is a lie to say that they are not afraid.

Even if one person is not afraid, it is impossible for everyone not to be afraid.

"The princess really did everything she could to gain merit." General Rong said coldly, "Does a princess need to be so eager for quick success? You are the biological daughter of the emperor and the queen, a noble princess, you don't have to make achievements like men to enjoy wealth and glory, why do you have to frame a loyal family? If the Kang family offended the princess unintentionally, they have already come to apologize in person, and the princess has forgiven them. Can't this matter be exposed? Why must they be killed?"

These words are really not pleasant to hear.

Not only did the Queen's face turn cold on the spot, but even the Prime Minister and General Xuan couldn't help but feel unhappy, "What are you saying, General Rong? You are a general over fifty years old, and the princess is only fourteen years old. A general who fought on the battlefield bullied a teenage girl. General Rong felt very proud?"

General Rong's face flushed: "I was just telling the truth, how could I bully the princess?"

"General Rong did bully me." Yan Li said lightly, "Because what you said just now revealed at least four pieces of information."

General Rong's face was not expected.

Yan Li smiled faintly: "First, the Kang family is loyal and has not done anything illegal such as forcibly occupying women, colluding with officials and businessmen, etc."

"Second, this princess is eager for quick success and instant benefits, and she framed the Kang family because she wants to make achievements."

"Third, this princess is narrow-minded, vindictive, and deliberately framed the Kang family."

"Fourth," Yan Li raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at him with some amusement, "This princess was born noble, and she doesn't need to fight for wealth and glory, but can enjoy it without any effort. It's not as hard as you men, right?"

General Rong's expression froze: "Isn't it?"

"I definitely won't enjoy it without any effort." Yan Li sneered, "General Rong can rest assured. In order to break this stereotype and your disdain for daughters, this princess will definitely use facts to prove that daughters can also make achievements."

General Rong sneered: "Daughters make achievements? What joke is the eldest princess talking about?"

"You are the one making fun of me." Yan Li's voice suddenly turned cold, and his icy eyes stared at him without blinking, "General Rong looks down on women so much, weren't you born from a woman's belly?"

General Rong's face turned pale: "You!"

Yan Li's voice was cold, and his eyebrows were intimidating: "A woman's belly can accommodate a man, but you, a general who claims to be a man, belittle women everywhere. I don't know who is more narrow-minded!"

General Rong's face stiffened little by little, and turned pale, red, and various colors. Finally, he clenched his hands tightly and stared at Yan Li coldly.

"Royal sister." Yan Chen was extremely angry, but tried his best to control his emotions. "General Rong fought on the battlefield and made countless contributions. He is a meritorious official of Jin. Royal sister really shouldn't talk to him like that."

"Royal brother, what you mean is that because he has made contributions, even if he bullies me, I have to bear it?" Yan Li turned to look at Yan Chen and smiled sarcastically, "The greatest meritorious official of Jin should be the queen, right? Second Royal Brother, have you forgotten how many years I have been wronged in Jin? According to your logic, it should not be too much for me to bully you?"

Yan Chen paused and was speechless.
