The daily life of Yu Baibai's family after traveling through time

Chapter 140: Protect or Guard

If he could get a smile from Yu Baibai, the guilt in his heart would be alleviated a little.

Now that things here are done, it’s time to clean up the ones at home.

Otherwise, no one knows what she will do next time.

Being implicated is secondary, but it is not okay for a dog to bully the people by relying on the power of others!

Not only was the shop able to reopen, but the fabric shop next door was also bought by Lieutenant General Xu and renovated and merged together.

Now it has three storefronts.

Today, Yu Yaozu brought his people to set up a stall and saw that the three stalls here had been renovated. He went up and asked and found out.

The leader also took out the deed from his arms, and they only needed to go to the government office to go through the formalities.

Without waiting for Yu Yaozu to refuse, the man said hurriedly:

"This is our deputy general's compensation to Miss Yu. If you refuse, you will be too embarrassed to face everyone in the future."

"Ugh."

-

"Pack your things and go back to Kyoto! You are not suitable to be here. I will have someone bring you the divorce papers later." Xu Hu finally made up his mind, even if it meant disobeying the order!

The princess, who was sitting in the main seat and leisurely drinking tea, lost her composure after hearing this and shouted:

"what?"

The maidservant beside him quickly advised, "Master, you can't do this! Our princess was married off by His Majesty! We can't divorce her!"

Xu Hu gritted his teeth when he heard this, flicked his sleeves, and kicked the old woman aside:

"Hurry up and clean it up! Someone come!"

It was this old woman who always came up with bad ideas and caused trouble with her master. He had wanted to take action against her for a long time.

"Vice-General!"

"Please invite the princess to Kyoto!"

"Yes!" These guards had long been fed up with it.

No matter what, their deputy general was loyal to the country, but he was treated so badly by a princess who was married to him by arrangement.

They said that on the wedding night, their deputy general was beaten out, and it was also fortunate that all relatives and outsiders had left at that time, and only their few personal guards were there.

Otherwise, if this matter were to get to Kyoto, not to mention disobeying the imperial order, just talking about face, how would their deputy general still have any dignity?

As far as he knew, after three years of marriage, his deputy general still had not slept with that person.

No matter what, the deputy general is a member of the Xu family in Kyoto. The reason why the Xu family turned a blind eye to it was because the person above tacitly approved it.

Connive at the princess's behavior.

She is an eye of the higher-ups, and also a chess piece used by the higher-ups to embarrass the prince.

I want the prince to know that as long as the person above him is willing, he can control everyone around him at any time.

The country was already in chaos, and the prince naturally did not want to make the people suffer further, so he had been tolerant until now.

The princess's true nature was immediately exposed, and she threw the teacup to the ground in anger:

"Alright! You bunch of bastards who rely on others for power, this princess will let the emperor punish you!"

However, no matter how noisy she was, the guards remained indifferent.

In the end, the princess was forcibly taken back to Kyoto.

They were arguing all the way and smashing everything in the carriage, making a lot of noise.

Xu Hu stood outside the door, looking at the team going away, feeling mixed emotions.

He quickly mounted his horse and went to tell the prince that he had driven the princess away, and when he returned to Kyoto, the prince would definitely be scolded by him.

Xu Hu rode his horse as fast as he could to the palace and reported the incident to the prince:

"Please punish me, Your Highness!" After saying this, he bowed and knelt there.

The prince was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, indicating his approval of Xu Hu's approach:

"You are indeed guilty of bullying the people. You should have killed her right there! Why would you let her go back?"

The prince's name is Xia Jiuan, which was given by his mother. May my son live in peace for the next nine generations...

Xu Hu was shocked. He knew that deep down, the prince had already lost his patience with the princess.

However, they all understood that this action would probably lead to the emperor's dissatisfaction and blame.

As expected, not long after, the emperor's edict arrived at the palace, accusing the prince of condoning his subordinates to drive away the princess, and ordering the prince to go to the capital in person to apologize.

Xia Jiuan made some arrangements, letting Zhuge Huaijin take charge of the army, and took Xu Hu and several personal guards with him on the journey to Beijing.

Not long after they left, a cavalry team of about 100,000 people, lightly armed, followed.

On the way, some soldiers heard that the prince was going to the capital, so they mobilized their troops to follow him. As long as anything happened to the prince, the capital would have a new master.

The murderous aura was overwhelming, and one could tell at a glance that these people had all seen blood.

Xia Jiuan and Xu Hu remained silent all the way.

As we approached the capital, we looked up at the city gate.

Xia Jiuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sighed in his heart, thinking that this time it might not end well.

He remembered that Lao Qi was a good person, so it was okay to promote Lao Qi.

Change the emperor, change the sky...

After all, he had already prepared everything for today...

"Tiger, are you ready?"

Seeing this, Xu Hu stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I am willing to protect you!" The prince patted him on the shoulder, signaling him not to worry.

The two continued walking and arrived at the palace.

The old emperor sat on the dragon throne with a furious look on his face.

Xia Jiuan knelt and saluted: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

The old emperor angrily scolded: "How dare you allow your subordinates to drive away the princess? Do you know your crime?"

Xia Jiuan stood up slowly, holding his head high and chest out:

"What crime have I committed? The princess is arrogant and domineering among the people, and she oppresses them. I would be doing a disservice to the people if I didn't kill her."

“You! You…you…”

"How dare you! Cough cough cough!" The old emperor was so angry that his beard trembled. He couldn't breathe and kept coughing.

They were in the imperial study at this time. There were no outsiders in the room. There were only the old emperor, Xia Jiuan and an old eunuch.

The old eunuch stroked the old emperor's back and was so scared that sweat broke out on his forehead.

This Sixth Prince really dares to say anything. He wants to piss off the Emperor to death!

"Your Majesty, calm down." Xia Jiuan looked at the emperor calmly.

"The princess made a mistake and deserves to be punished. I was only teaching her a lesson on behalf of Your Majesty."

The old emperor pointed at Xia Jiuan, so angry that he couldn't speak.

At this moment, a report came from outside the door: "The Prime Minister requests an audience."

The old emperor waved his hand and asked Xia Jiuan to step aside first.

After Xia Jiuan left, the prime minister walked in and saluted the emperor.

"My dear minister, you have come at the right time. Look at this rebellious son, he is becoming more and more outrageous!" said the emperor indignantly.

The Prime Minister smiled slightly and said comfortingly:

"Your Majesty, please do not be angry. The Sixth Prince has always been outspoken and this time he was acting out of public interest. However, the princess is of royal blood after all, so we must handle it properly."

The emperor pondered for a moment and nodded: "Then as you say, my dear minister, let's put this matter aside for now. But this Sixth Brother is becoming more and more out of control. I have to think of a way..."

The scene changed, Xia Jiuan walked out of the palace, looked at Xu Hu, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

Xia Jiuan and Xu Hu came to a secluded corner.

Xia Jiuan whispered:

"Send people to secretly protect the families of the ministers and ensure their safety."

Xu Hu took the order and left.

Who knows whether it is to protect or to guard people...
