When Ye Chuyan returned to Buzhuang, his whole body seemed to have had his muscles, bones and soul taken away. He was walking like a puppet, and blood was still oozing from his left hand. Bai Zhi was shocked.
When Ye Chuyan saw Bai Zhi, she couldn't hold on any longer and hugged her tightly, trembling all over.
Bai Zhi hurriedly said: "Princess, what's wrong with you? You are injured. Let me see your hands."
Ye Chuyan said in a hoarse voice: "Bai Zhi, don't move, let me hug you."
She needs someone's warmth to remind her that she is still alive and still in the world.
Bai Zhi was frightened, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
As he finished speaking, there was a burst of noise outside.
Ye Chuyan let go of Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi walked to the window, opened the window and looked down. She saw a dozen old women gathered at the entrance of Buzhuang and throwing leftovers into the store.
While throwing it away, he shouted: "Ye Chuyan is barefoot in front of others. He is worse than a pig or a dog. He has no shame. His simple head is a shame to Dafeng and a disgrace to us Dafeng women."
Bai Zhi stomped her feet angrily and hurriedly closed the window. When she turned around, she saw Ye Chuyan standing behind her.
She stammered: "Princess, these people are talking nonsense, you must not take it to heart..."
Ye Chuyan gasped and laughed twice, and said in a low and inaudible voice: "He is right, the people of Dafeng have spurned me..."
Bai Zhi gritted her teeth and said, "Princess, I will drive them away."
She rushed downstairs and came to the door.
Shopkeeper Zhou is a well-educated person who cannot yell and can only glare at those old women.
Lin Shi, like a woman, put her hands on her hips and shouted back: "The princess went barefoot to help Dafeng get a city. She did it for righteousness. Are you ashamed of coming here to curse people? Bah, you are shameless."
Bai Zhi pushed Lin Shi away, rushed to the front, and asked loudly: "Who do you think you are, you dare to yell and curse at the door of the princess's shop. If you don't get out, I will call the officials and arrest you all."
The woman who took the lead was in her fifties, with gaping teeth. She bared her teeth and said, "I don't think you are a good person even with your little hooves."
After saying that, he was about to pull the Angelica dahurica, but Lin Shi stepped forward to stop it. The shop assistants rushed out to help pull it open, and other women saw this and swarmed up.
For a moment, there was a mess at the door of the shop.
A group of onlookers outside were pointing and pointing.
"Some people are shameless and don't allow others to tell them. If I were her, I would commit suicide afterwards to show my innocence. It would be worthy of my ancestors."
"That's right, that's right. So what if you get a city? How dare you survive barefoot in front of everyone?"
"I see, the family tradition of the Ye family is not very good. The Ye family was confiscated by the Qing Dynasty, and Ye Chuyan is still peacefully serving as her Qing Princess. It is unscrupulous to think about it. So what if she is barefoot now? A shameless person, What a shame."
When Shopkeeper Zhou heard these sarcastic remarks, he was so angry that he was shaking all over, his face was pale, and he couldn't say a word.
At this moment, Pei Xiuyan galloped over on horseback and kicked away a woman outside. The woman was immediately kicked aside and groaned in pain.
Seeing this, the others hurriedly let go of their hands and looked at Pei Xiuyan as if they were seeing a ghost.
Bai Zhi and Lin Shi were pulled apart like two madmen, their hair was messy, and Bai Zhi's face was even scratched with several bloody marks by her nails.
Pei Xiuyan pulled out a black sword from his horse, holding the sword with cold eyes and a formidable aura around him.
He grabbed the leading old woman, pointed his sword at her face, and said coldly: "You were the one who scolded the princess?"
The old woman was so frightened that she trembled all over, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... the common people... the common people are wrong... I won't dare to do it anymore..."
Pei Xiuyan looked ferocious and sneered in a low voice.
He went to the palace in the morning and replied to Pei Ye that he would never trade Ye Chuyan for Ten Cities, but Pei Ye asked him to go back and think about it for another day.
He knew that Pei Ye wanted to force him to agree, which made him very angry.
When I returned to the mansion, I wanted to see Ye Chuyan. The servants said that the princess had gone to Buzhuang. He came over on horseback, and from afar he saw this group of people yelling and cursing at the door, and even tore themselves into a ball with Bai Zhi.
When he heard these people insulting Ye Chuyan, he wanted to tear these long-tongued women into pieces.
"It's okay if you don't want your tongue!"
After saying that, he pointed his sword at the old woman and left. The old woman immediately collapsed to the ground in fear.
Just when the sword was half an inch away from the old woman's face, a slender jade hand grabbed the sword, and blood flowed down the blade.
Pei Xiuyan was shocked, "Ayan, what are you doing!"
It was Ye Chuyan who climbed down from the window on the third floor and held the sword.
Pei Xiuyan hurriedly dropped his sword and went up to grab Ye Chuyan's hand. Seeing that the wound on her palm was extremely deep and bloody, he felt both distressed and angry.
"Ayan, why are you so stupid? It would be a shame for such a poisonous woman to die."
"Your Majesty, no." She looked at Pei Xiuyan, her eyes firm and pleading.
She didn't want to watch others bleed because of her. She deliberately grabbed the sword with her injured hand, killing two birds with one stone.
Pei Xiuyan held Ye Chuyan's hand, glanced at the trembling women gathered together, kicked the sword away, and the sword whizzed away at the leading woman.
Before anyone could react, the sword cut off a strand of the woman's hair and stabbed it firmly into the ground. The tail of the sword trembled and buzzed slightly.
"Anyone who dares to insult me in the future will have their hair cut off like this! Get out!"
Pei Xiuyan's roar was mixed with a destructive rage, making the onlookers tremble with fear.
Several women dragged the leading woman, who was paralyzed by fright, and ran away like a bereaved dog.
While helping Ye Chuyan into the store, Pei Xiuyan said to Yan Pei: "Go find Dr. Wei!"
Ye Chuyan sat on a chair in the store, lost in thought.
Seeing her sad expression, Pei Xiuyan thought that Ye Chuyan was still sad about what happened just now, so he couldn't help but comfort him softly: "Ayan, don't worry, as long as I'm here, this kind of thing won't happen again in the future."
Ye Chuyan's eyes were empty and he didn't reply.
Doctor Wei rushed over quickly and was horrified to see Ye Chuyan's left hand covered in blood.
After careful bandaging, I was warned not to get wet, not to exert force on my left hand until it recovered, and not to be exposed to the cold. It's cold and it's difficult to recover from a sword injury. Once it becomes inflamed, it will be even more troublesome.
After Pei Xiuyan took note of it carefully, he rushed back to the house with Ye Chuyan.
He settled Ye Chuyan in Jiangjiayuan and told Bai Zhi to take good care of Ye Chuyan and to go to Yan Pei at any time if necessary.
He returned to the study and said to Yan Qi: "Go and find out who is behind the scenes instructing those old women to cause trouble. Once you find out, don't alert the snake, I will handle it personally."
He didn't believe that a few ignorant old women who dared to make trouble in front of Princess Qing's shop must have been instigated by others.
Yan Pi took the order and was about to go out when Pei Xiuyan called out to him.
"Kill all the women who made trouble today, leaving no one behind."
Yan Che cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Pei Xiuyan sat on the chair and closed his eyes slightly.
Pei Ye asked him to think about his indifferent expression for one more day. Ye Chuyan's hands were covered with blood, and his soulless expression kept rolling around in his mind.
He stood up suddenly and punched the desk hard, causing the desk to split into pieces in an instant.
A servant reported loudly outside: "Your Majesty, someone has sent you a letter."
Pei Xiuyan opened the door suddenly, and the servant was so frightened by the murderous aura in Pei Xiuyan that he lowered his head hurriedly and handed over a letter with timid hands.
Pei Xiuyan opened the letter, and there were more than a dozen words in it: See you at Shili Pavilion in the suburbs tonight at Haishi, and I would like to relieve the prince's worries.
