Chapter 506 Chests Bulged Up
As members of the royal family, they treated human life like dirt, not even sparing innocent children—they were utterly inhuman!
"Even if this matter is reported to the Emperor, I am not afraid. This world belongs to the Emperor, and the people are also the Emperor's subjects. The Emperor has always been wise and powerful, and benevolent to the people. He must know that you, Princess, have harmed the Emperor's people in this way, and he will not let you off easily!"
Xiao Wan's words were forceful and reasonable, and even Li Ruyi, who was so domineering, dared not refute Xiao Wan's statement.
Under heaven, is there anyone more powerful than the Emperor? Although she calls the Emperor "Uncle Emperor," she knows that the Emperor's authority cannot be disrespected by anyone. Otherwise, even if she is the Emperor's own daughter, she will still suffer.
Xiao Wan kept bringing up the emperor in every sentence, saying that the common people were the emperor's people, and she couldn't refute it at all. Did she dare to say that it wasn't true?
Although she has always been arrogant and domineering in the capital, she is still very aware of certain sensitive matters and words.
Believe it or not, if she dares to utter a single wrong word today, she won't even have to wait until tomorrow to be accused of treason by those stubborn old censors!
Who knows how the Emperor will view me and my father then? The Emperor's brother is a sensitive position, and if things go wrong, it could really arouse suspicion in my father, which would be a terrible injustice.
Li Ruyi's mouth trembled, and she was so angry that she almost fainted.
The onlookers, who were watching from afar, also heard Xiao Wan's words and burst into cheers and applause, crowding around her.
Although they were afraid of these nobles, they still had the desire to watch the show, not to mention that the conflict was caused by the county princess standing up for the people against the notoriously wicked female princess in the capital.
Yes, the common people had all heard of Li Ruyi's name, but dared not speak out against it, and only privately gave her the nickname "Evil Princess".
They were also worried for the county princess, and silently hoped that she wouldn't be at a disadvantage. They felt that this newcomer to the county would probably not have a good ending if she faced her, and they felt very sorry for her.
Unexpectedly, this county princess was so powerful that she subdued the wicked princess with just a few guards and a white tiger.
After they breathed a sigh of relief, they were deeply moved by what the Lady of Huide said.
Upon learning that this Lady Huide was a peasant girl and stood on the side of the common people, she naturally spoke up for them! They felt a sense of closeness to Xiao Wan.
Yes, they are the people of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and also the subjects of the Emperor. Emperor Yuande was always known for his kindness to the people and treated them very kindly. He would reduce taxes during famine years, unlike the previous emperors who harmed and oppressed the people.
Therefore, the people of the Yuan Dynasty always revered Emperor Yuande.
Since they are the Emperor's subjects, what right does that wicked princess have to bully them?
The people couldn't help but puff out their chests as they spoke.
"Well said! The county princess is right. We are all His Majesty's subjects, and no one can bully us!"
"Yes, yes!"
"The county princess speaks well! Our emperor has always loved his people and is not afraid of this wicked princess. Let's see if she dares to oppose the emperor! Let's see if she dares to silence so many of us!"
Some of the more astute among the common people used Xiao Wan's words to shift the focus to whether Li Ruyi dared to abuse the people whom the Emperor cherished, bringing the atmosphere to a fever pitch.
Even if Li Ruyi was incredibly capable, she was forced to remain silent. Her subordinates were even more like quails. Didn't they see that even the princess was forced to remain silent? How could they dare to speak up and rebuke these people? It would be tantamount to going against the emperor. They wouldn't dare even if they had a hundred lives.
These people actually dared to utter the name "wicked princess," which shows that the princess has incurred the wrath of the crowd. When Prince Li finds out about today's events, who knows how he will punish them.
Thinking of this, Li Ruyi's subordinates couldn't help but shudder.
One of the guards stepped forward and advised Li Ruyi, "Princess, let's not stoop to the level of these unruly people. His Highness is still waiting for you to return to the manor for dinner. We can settle this score another day! His Highness will certainly not let these people off the hook."
Li Ruyi's eyes were bloodshot with anger. Hearing the guard's words, he was about to raise the whip in his hand, but remembering that this was a person given to him by his father, he still resisted the urge to raise the whip and lash him.
She glared at Xiao Wan, left with the words "You just wait," and then reluctantly led her people away.
