Even if she were to be the jealous woman, she would never let a concubine in.

Kill her in the back? Then she would cut off his descendants!

After Xiao Jingran returned to her room, she stared at the two bags on the table. The gold and silver inside were gleaming with a metallic luster under the oil lamp.

"What's wrong with being an idle princess? "Why is this woman so bad?"

He picked up a red hairpin and fiddled with it. His cold jade neck had yet to warm up, yet he threw it at her and it broke into two halves.

Xiao Jingran frowned slightly. How could a princess' item be so crudely crafted?

Ann Ting saw the love between the prince's eyebrows, thought he was worried about the princess, and wanted to comfort a few words.

"The wangfei must have been used to being free when she was born in the general's residence. It's unavoidable for her to have a bit of a temper when she suddenly becomes constrained."

"Little temper? She has already married into the Duke Palace and become the consort of my Nan Qi Palace, so how can she possibly escape without permission? " Xiao Jingran looked at the broken piece of jade, and the crease between her eyebrows became deeper. He suddenly asked, "Where did this thing come from?"

Ann Ting saw the broken piece of hairpin and replied, "Didn't you take this out from within the princess' bag?"

Xiao Jingran said heavily, "I am asking, is this something that the wangfei brought from the Residence of Prime Minister or something she bestowed upon you after entering the palace?"

Ann Ting realized the intention of the prince and couldn't help but restrain his expression.

"Although the dowry for the wangfei is not rich, it has always been replaced by the storehouse of the palace." Although the dowry for the wangfei is not rich, it has always been replaced by the storehouse of the palace.

Xiao Jingran harrumphed coldly. "When did the things bestowed by This King become so inconspicuous?"

The man then stared at a certain part of the study room. The black ink in his eyes became more and more profound. With just a glance, one would be unable to extricate themselves from it.

The deep golden threaded robe on his body faintly emitted a dark glow within the candlelight. "Ann Ting, someone has extended their hand too long to meddle in the affairs of my Nan Qi Duke Palace! Follow this line of communication and don't alert the snake to the presence of the person behind you. "

"Yes, Your Highness." Ann Ting asked again, "Then do we find a reason to return these to the wangfei?"

"Give it back to her?" Let her run away again? "

There was no need to return the things, nor did he know how she would dress herself up. Was she using these unsightly things?

Xiao Jingran's pale, cold lips curled into a straight line.

Now that the situation had escalated to such an extent that all parties were eyeing her covetously. Furthermore, a spy had been planted within the prince's mansion. Since the wangfei was restless, trouble was bound to befall her sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingran felt a little uneasy, "When will Yan Wugui be back?"

"There are many good news reports coming in. Little General Yan is always calm. I believe he will be back soon."

"Since the border matters have been decided, it will be the same for General Liukang. Send a message to Yan Wugui to return to the Mansion immediately."

Xiao Jingran was lost in thought as she looked at the border map. Now that there was trouble both internally and externally, if she could not get even a single seat in this chaotic world, she would completely collapse.

"Your highness wants to expand the territory?"

"The general has just bathed in blood and is fighting with all his might, so it is time to recuperate. The food within the Nan Qi realm is also tight, so it is not appropriate to raise any more soldiers. Tell Yan Wugui to come back and keep an eye on Ruan Qiuyan, don't let anything go wrong with her."

At this moment, Xiao Jingran was like a man of the world, planning and planning for the world. She had a natural aura about her that made her feel cold.

Ann Ting thought that the prince was still treating his wife well, so he asked his wife to be personally protected by Little General Yan.

In the next moment, Xiao Jingran suddenly asked, "What do you think we should do with tonight's events?"

"This matter is entirely up to the prince. Ann Ting does not dare to argue."

"Then teach her a lesson. Let her have a good memory so that she won't get into a mess in the future."

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes became as cold as the moon.

Not long after, Ruan Qiuyan was taking an afternoon nap in her room. She was woken up by a noise in the courtyard. She quickly got up.

Her courtyard was even quieter than a cold palace. When had it ever caused such a commotion?

Ruan Qiuyan pushed open the door and walked out. There was a group of people standing in the yard, and Xiao Jingran stood in front of them.

"What's going on? Are you trying to break my restriction? "

Was there a need for such a big battle formation?

Xiao Jingran's gaze swept across her face. Suddenly, she felt her entire body turn cold. She thought to herself, This is bad news.

Sure enough, she heard his faint voice. "Last night, the wangfei tried to escape from the mansion with her attendants, but there were no rules in her eyes. As a first offense, she is exempt from punishment."

Staff Responsibility... Wasn't it just being hit by a board?

Ruan Qiuyan was completely devoid of sleep.

A martial arts practitioner would be injured to the point where his skin and flesh could be cut open. A weak girl like her would lose half her life if she were to use ten slates.

"Your Highness, you can't! This matter is my own idea. Qingmei is just a servant, how can I listen to her words? If you want to hit her, then hit me! "

As Ruan Qiuyan spoke, she forgot all the rules. Nothing was important in front of human life!

Xiao Jingran ignored her request and turned her head to the green plum blossom that was already suppressed. "Are you waiting for the wangfei to plead for you as well?"

How dare Qing Mei? Not to mention taking a beating for Ruan Qiuyan, she had to fight for Ruan Qiuyan even if she had to take a knife and put a pan of oil over her head.

"Your servant wouldn't dare, thank you for your punishment, Prince."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qingmei was already lying on the bench, the one foot tall and vermilion bench made her extremely thin. She could smell the scent of blood on the bench, the shocking crimson color of their blood.

"No …."

Ruan Qiuyan cried out involuntarily.

With a cry of surprise, the people who were being caned fell on Qing Mei one by one.

Qing Mei's face had lost all its color after just three rounds. She had fainted due to the pain. On the fifth time, she woke up with another round of pain.

Ruan Qiuyan could not bear to watch any longer. She gathered her strength and pushed aside the people who were blocking her. Like a butterfly, she pounced forward and laid on Qing Mei's body.

However, he was still a step too late, causing Qing Mei to suffer another blow.

"I'll take the remaining four for her."

There was no reason for someone else to be punished for the trouble she had caused.

The person holding the staff didn't notice this, as the seventh staff struck Ruan Qiuyan's body solidly.

Ruan Qiuyan's body trembled as she almost fell off Qing Mei's body. She had overestimated herself. This time, it was really painful.

When the fourth plank came down, her flesh would be torn apart even if she didn't lose it.

"Your Highness …" This... Do you still want to fight? "

Xiao Jingran frowned. Why didn't she stop him and let him pounce on her?

This is the point. He can't let people think he has a weakness

He said coldly, "Continue!"

Qingmei originally thought that the prince wouldn't reprimand her severely, but she didn't expect him to be so determined to let her suffer this humiliation. She ignored the wounds on her back and struggled to push Ruan Qiuyan away.
