Chapter 201 Your Majesty, the Princess Beats the Prince Consort to Death
Zhao Erya rode a tall horse, looked down at the Minister of the Imperial Household without saying a word.
The Minister of the Imperial Household maintained his saluting posture, and sweat began to appear on his forehead.
Just when he was about to give up, Zhao Erya's gentle voice came from above his head: "Excuse me, Minister of the Imperial Household. Please stand up quickly."
The Minister of the Imperial Household straightened up and looked at Zhao Erya, but was surprised by the kindness on the other's face.
Zhao Erya glanced at the Tenth Prince Consort who was kneeling on the ground and smiled: "What happened to Tenth Brother-in-law? Why is he kneeling on the ground? Cheng Zhi, quickly help the Tenth Prince Consort up."
The tenth prince consort, who was helped up, looked at his father, with anxiety and confusion on his face.
The Minister of the Imperial Household was also completely confused. He wanted to ask something, but the other party beat him to it.
Zhao Erya politely said to the Minister of the Imperial Household, "I have something important to attend to, so I'll go ahead. Please feel free to do as you please!" After saying that, she pulled the reins and walked forward.
Looking at the receding figures of Zhao Erya and his group, the father and son of the Imperial Household were both bewildered.
The Tenth Prince Consort looked at the Minister of the Imperial Household: "Father, why didn't she hit me?"
The Minister of the Imperial Household was also wondering what was going on and why Zhao Erya would let his son go.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he shouted, "I know, it must be because of the Tenth Princess! The Tenth Princess spoke well of you, so you were able to escape!"
The Tenth Prince Consort suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, that must be the case!"
He said with a look of emotion: "Princess, you are so kind. I have never been so worthy of you!"
You must be extra nice to the princess from now on!
Over there, the Taipuqing family was celebrating the fate that favored them, while over here, the Weiweiqing family was in chaos.
Zhao Erya swung her whip with great force, beating the twelve princes-in-law without any chance of fighting back.
It can be said that the Twelve Prince Consorts were also people with superb martial arts skills, with divine power, and they could wield a Fang Tian Hua Ji as if it were their own arm.
When the late emperor was alive, he once said that the twelfth prince consort was a natural-born military officer.
However, such a strong man was now pinned to the ground and beaten by Zhao Erya, unable to struggle free.
"You crazy woman, let me go!" The twelfth prince consort roared at Zhao Erya, his drunken face ferocious and terrifying.
When Zhao Erya arrived, the twelve princes-in-law were drinking in their own yard, and the ground was littered with empty wine jars.
Seeing the people suddenly rushing in, the Twelfth Prince Consort was stunned for a moment. When Zhao Erya's whip was about to hit him, he rolled over with his muscle memory and just avoided it. At the same time, he picked up the wooden stick beside him and fought with Zhao Erya.
However, after a few hits, the whip wrapped around his neck and threw him to the ground.
Zhao Erya tapped the twelfth prince consort a few times, and he immediately became unable to move and even unable to speak.
Facing the terrified faces of the twelfth princes-in-law, Zhao Erya handed the whip to the twelfth princess.
The twelfth princess took the whip and lashed hard at the man who made her fear and hate.
The Twelfth Princess stopped only when she was completely exhausted, and she cried out in pain, shaking her body.
At this moment, her son and daughter came running over in a hurry.
The son Nanliang looked at his father kneeling on the ground with whip marks all over his body, then looked at his mother holding a whip, and rushed over to push the Twelfth Princess hard.
"Are you crazy? How could you hit your father?" he yelled at the Twelve Princesses.
His flushed face and distorted expression were exactly like his father's.
Nan Jiang, the daughter of the Twelfth Princess, suddenly stood in front of her mother. Although her body was shaking with fear, she remained motionless. Her little face, similar to that of the Twelfth Princess, was full of stubbornness.
She yelled at her brother, "Get out of here!"
When the twelfth princess saw this scene, she cried and laughed, bent down, hugged her daughter's thin shoulders tightly with both hands, and held her in her arms.
Zhao Erya dragged Nan Liang aside and had his men restrain the brat. Then he turned and looked at Nan Jiang approvingly, saying, "He's a good kid!"
She broke the hands of the twelfth prince consort with her own hands and ordered him to be sent to the Supreme Court.
Afterwards, Zhao Erya ordered people to help the Twelfth Princess pack up her things, and left with the Twelfth Princess and Nan Jiang.
When Wei Weiqing received the news and hurried back from Ru Liangjun's house, Zhao Erya and his party had long disappeared.
Zhao Erya did not return to the princess's mansion, but went directly into the palace.
She had to talk to her dear brother.
Zhao Xuan had heard about Zhao Erya's heroic deeds, and he asked curiously, "Sister, how did you become so powerful?"
Zhao Erya began to deceive: "The late emperor liked daughters who were gentle and obedient, so I can only be gentle and obedient. Now that you are the emperor, I have someone to support me, so naturally there is no need to hide my true nature anymore."
Zhao Xuan nodded and accepted this statement.
The late emperor was frightened by his fierce aunt and powerful mother, and he wanted to raise all his daughters into little lambs, and severely punish them if they did anything out of line. This resulted in all his daughters being timid and cowardly.
It's just that the original body was an outlier, selfish and arrogant in nature, so so many troubles occurred later.
Zhao Erya took a sip of tea and asked Zhao Xuan, "Which parties do you think will impeach me tomorrow?"
Zhao Xuan thought for a moment, listed a few names, and said, "I think these are the ones."
Zhao Erya touched his chin and said, "I think no one will impeach me tomorrow."
"Huh?" Zhao Xuan was puzzled. "How is that possible? How can you tolerate this?"
You know, last time Zhao Erya killed Cai Mingyuan, who had nothing to do with them, they all looked like they wanted to kill Zhao Erya.
Now that Zhao Erya has directly slapped them, how could he not impeach them?
Zhao Erya looked at Zhao Xuan with a smile and said, "Let's make a bet!"
Zhao Xuan became interested: "What are you betting on?"
Zhao Erya asked back: "What do you want?"
Zhao Xuan raised an eyebrow: "If I win, I will take the Dongzhu that my father once gave to my sister. It will be perfect for making a pair of earrings for the queen."
"Okay!" Zhao Erya responded readily, "If I win, you'll give me a set of armor!"
Hearing this, Zhao Xuan understood that his own sister had not given up on going to the battlefield.
But in the end, he gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, let's bet!"
He just didn't believe that no one would impeach his sister even though she had made such a big fuss.
The next day at court, Zhao Xuan eagerly waited for the ministers to come out and impeach his sister, but until everything was discussed, no one spoke up.
As the court was about to end, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but start calling out names: "Nan Qing, do you have anything important to say?"
Wei Weiqing was startled when he heard this, and stepped out of the group to salute: "I don't have any at the moment."
Zhao Xuan turned to look at the Eighth Prince Consort's father: "Yao Qing, what about you?"
Guanglu Qing also said no.
Zhao Xuan looked at the Chief Censor again, and the old man shrank his neck in fear.
Zhao Xuan had no choice but to announce his withdrawal from court.
On the way back to the palace, Zhao Xuan felt something was wrong. Seeing Zhao Erya leisurely drinking tea with the queen, he asked directly, "Sister, are you hiding something from me?"
