Chapter 1578: Chapter 1578: Just Protecting Their Own

Prince Saihan sneered, "A Land of Bullet, indeed easy to bully."

Ao Qi’s eyes emitted a cold light, "How dare you, is Prince Saihan here to provoke trouble?"

"If you can stoop to low actions, can’t I look for trouble when I find it displeasing to the eye?" Prince Saihan’s tone was slowly mocking and ridiculing.

At this moment, Princess Yingtong and other attendants hearing the commotion came over. She, with a cold face, put on the airs of a princess and said to Prince Saihan, "Doctor Bai was sent by the Danliang Emperor to diagnose me. What is the meaning of the Turkic Prince picking a quarrel like this? Are you not satisfied until you break with the Western Regions?"

"Prince Saihan doesn’t care about these things. Although he appears to be here for marriage alliance, he stirs up trouble everywhere he goes, creating enemies for the Turkic. It’s unclear whether he’s here for marriage or to bring trouble to the Turkic. Even if the Turkic are formidable, they can’t withstand the wrath of Danliang and the Western Regions, right?" Bai Ruozhu said casually from the side, but it was clear that after hearing her words, the faces of Prince Saihan’s followers all changed.

"We from the Western Regions came to make friends with Danliang, but it doesn’t mean we’ll yield when provoked. Can Prince Saihan truly represent the will of the Turkic king? Seems like I must write to the Turkic king to inquire about this," said Ao Qi, understanding Bai Ruozhu’s intention and cooperating greatly.

Prince Saihan’s followers became anxious and stepped forward to persuade him, "Prince, let’s go back first. Do not provoke more trouble."

Prince Saihan’s face hardened; he wanted to rebuke his subordinates but quickly replaced it with a smile, looked at Bai Ruozhu, and said, "You think I would fall for your trick?"

After speaking, he turned around, "Let’s go, and we’ll also talk about the sordid affairs of Danliang’s female Chief Doctor and the Western Regions’ envoy outside."

Even a mud figure has a three-part temper, let alone Prince Saihan, who had besmirched her reputation several times; if Bai Ruozhu could still endure it, she wouldn’t be Bai Ruozhu.

"Jianqi, attack! Today we must teach the Turkic Prince a lesson in manners!" Bai Ruozhu ordered, and her Jianqi along with two hidden dark guards charged simultaneously.

Ao Qi and Princess Yingtong reacted quickly too, and together they launched an attack on Prince Saihan and his men.

The manager of the Westward Pavilion didn’t expect a fight to break out and urgently sent for officials to be informed, while risking his life to come over and mediate.

Knowing that poison was useless against Prince Saihan, Bai Ruozhu had no choice but to resort to fist and foot techniques. However, her martial skills were far inferior to Prince Saihan’s, so she had to rely on Jianqi and Ao Qi to attack.

Actually, she wasn’t being impulsive this time. She was also taking advantage of Prince Saihan’s provocation to gauge his abilities and to see how far her little Furball’s strength was from Prince Saihan’s Evil Poisonous Insect.

"I am an envoy from the Turkic, do you dare lay hands on me and not fear the Danliang Emperor’s blame?" Prince Saihan didn’t seem to be at much of a disadvantage, still taunting them relentlessly.

"We as people from the Western Regions laid hands on you; we don’t have to explain anything to the Danliang Emperor. You’ve repeatedly pinned crimes on me and tarnished my reputation. Since you came looking for trouble, we from the Western Regions aren’t afraid of a fight," said Ao Qi, then gave the command, "Bring them all down to the ground!"

In an instant, the men from the Western Regions rushed out from the Inner Courtyard towards the Turkic attendants, and soon they were all knocked to the ground.

Taking advantage of the melee between Prince Saihan, Jianqi, and others, Bai Ruozhu secretly sent Furball to attack Prince Saihan. Remembering that Prince Saihan’s internal organs had been displaced and that Poisonous Insect poison was ineffective against him, Bai Ruozhu changed her strategy and instructed Furball to target Prince Saihan’s vital points. Suddenly rushing over, it struck him at his vital spot.

Fearing that Furball would be devoured by Prince Saihan’s Evil Poisonous Insect, Bai Ruozhu immediately summoned Furball back into the Space.

Prince Saihan staggered back a few steps, clutching at his chest in rage, and glared at Bai Ruozhu, "Bai Ruozhu, you actually used a Poisonous Insect to sneak attack me!"

"What Poisonous Insect? Utter nonsense. If you can’t win, then scram quickly and don’t disrupt others’ moods!" Bai Ruozhu retorted vehemently.

At this moment, the sounds of hurried footsteps came from outside, followed by Bai Guanghe, the deputy minister from the Ministry of Rites, and Fan Li, the intendant of the Capital, appeared, with a group of officers trailing behind Fan Li.

"Everyone stop right now!" Bai Guanghe called out, and Fan Li immediately gestured for his men to rush forward, blocking the two parties.

Bai Guanghe gave Bai Ruozhu a glance, quickly suppressed the emotions in his heart, then turned his head to address Prince Saihan, "The Turkic Prince was supposed to stay put in the Eastward Pavilion, how did you end up causing trouble in the Westward Pavilion?"

Fan Li was taken aback; wasn’t he supposed to ask what had happened first? Old Bai was usually a very steady person, so why was his tone so harsh today, as if he had an unusual dislike for the Turkic Prince? However, Fan Li swiftly understood. Since arriving in Danliang, Prince Saihan had been making everyone uncomfortable, even daring to provoke the Emperor himself. Perhaps no one in the Imperial Court looked favorably upon Prince Saihan?

Actually, Bai Guanghe’s current mood was that of a parent whose child had been bullied and was on the verge of danger—how could he not be angry?

Bai Guanghe was now being protective, but of course, he had good reason; he knew Bai Ruozhu wasn’t someone without sense. If a fight had broken out, it must have been because the Turkic Prince had gone too far.

He saw that Bai Ruozhu showed not a hint of panic amidst this situation, which filled him with immense pride. She was truly the granddaughter of him and Yunyun, possessing the chivalrous spirit of her grandmother Yunyun.

"Is the deputy minister from the Ministry of Rites blaming this Prince? All these people attacked me, and you’re saying you didn’t see it?" said Prince Saihan in an unfriendly tone.

Ao Qi then performed a courtesy towards Bai Guanghe and Fan Li before saying, "Honored officials, the Turkic Prince suddenly kicked in the door and intruded into our Western Regions’ delegation’s abode, repeatedly hurling insults. It is clear he wishes to declare war on our Western Regions, and we naturally cannot condone such behavior."

"I merely wanted to greet you and be a little polite. We Turkic people are straightforward and don’t abide by so many rules. On the other hand, you keep talking about following rules, yet your Bai is mixed up with a gentleman from the Western Regions, without a sense of decency," said Prince Saihan loudly.

Bai Guanghe’s expression grew even more sour. No wonder his granddaughter had lashed out; Prince Saihan’s mouth was indeed foul!

Ao Qi sneered and said, "Bai has been ordered to diagnose Princess Yingtong and took the opportunity to check my pulse for an old ailment. How has a doctor checking a pulse become indecent in your eyes? If that’s the case, then the Turkic people no longer need to summon doctors when sick."

He then looked towards Bai Guanghe and Fan Li, bowed and said, "We are now in the capital of Danliang, so please allow Danliang to make a judgment on this matter. I do not wish to put the esteemed officials in a difficult position, but I also hope the Turkic Prince can adhere to some rules."

"With both door slamming and insults, is this the only kind of lowly tactic that Prince Saihan knows? If you truly wish to become enemies with our Western Regions, then challenge us openly instead of searching for nonsensical excuses," said Princess Yingtong defiantly.

Under normal circumstances, the Turkic Country would not go to war with the Western Regions because the Turkic lay to the north of Danliang, and even though some tribal members were active in the Northwest, the distance to the Western Regions situated on the west side of Danliang was far, with several locations separated by Danliang territory, making a conflict quite unfeasible.
