Chapter 190: Chapter 190 The Empress Dowager Arrives

Upon hearing this, Nan Xing stepped in front of Chu Baihan and then scolded angrily.

The look in Chu Baihan’s eyes also turned cold.

This Xiang Zhang was the Princely Heir of the Xiang Family.

The Commandery Prince had been loyal and humble all his life and was a minister worth trusting.

If he had any flaw, it would be his only son, Xiang Zhang.

As a child born to him in his old age, and the sole heir of the Commandery Prince Residence, both the Commandery Prince and Princess Consort had doted on him excessively, granting his every wish, and over time, they had raised him to become the tyrant of the capital city.

From a young age, if Xiang Zhang wanted something, he would use all kinds of means to get it.

Many decent women had been ruined by him.

His father, the Emperor, had been furious about this and had locked him up in the Sky Prison several times. But no matter what, because of the Commandery Prince’s deep love for his son, many a time he had knelt throughout the night in the Emperor’s palace and even brought out the Death Immunity Token to save Xiang Zhang.

Starting two years ago, Xiang Zhang had suddenly changed, no longer abducting decent women in the streets.

Everyone thought he had found his conscience and wanted to turn over a new leaf.

But little did they know, he had set his sights on her.

"There you go, we were just talking about the Princely Heir, and here he comes," Nan Leshi said, seeing that Chu Baihan looked upset. She covered her mouth and laughed, her eyes full of schadenfreude.

Nan Leqin also laughed, "Exactly, sister, I’ve known the Princely Heir for so many years and have never seen him so persistent about anyone. He has even petitioned our father to grant him a marriage for two consecutive years. I’m moved by this affection."

"If Princess Seven finds it touching, why don’t you marry the Princely Heir? You’re not betrothed yet, are you?"

Nan Xing glanced angrily at Nan Leqin, then unapologetically shot the words back.

"How dare a servant like you speak to me, a princess, in such a tone?"

Nan Leqin narrowed her eyes, her dark gaze fixed on Nan Xing as her complexion turned extremely ugly.

"What Nan Xing says is what I say. Do you have any objections, Princess Seven?" Chu Baihan stepped forward from behind Nan Xing and asked coldly.

Upon hearing this, Nan Leqin had no choice but to suppress her anger.

At that moment, Xiang Zhang also ran over to them.

He was panting and then patted his round belly, saying, "Princesses, don’t fight over me, let’s value peace."

He even looked very guilty.

Chu Baihan didn’t pay any attention to him at all; she turned around intending to leave.

But who knew he would actually run directly in front of her.

"Senior princess, what do you think of my proposal just now? Although I can’t match your noble status, a woman needs to marry, after all. You’re bringing along a child, and you were rejected for marriage by Yan Country. There’s probably no one willing to marry you in Nanduan Kingdom. If you enter our Commandery Prince Residence, at least you’d be the chief wife..."

Xiang Zhang touched his belly, speaking with an air of righteousness.

"Senior princess, I know I was somewhat of a scoundrel before, but I swear, my feelings for you are genuine," he said.

While saying this, he even reached out his hand, attempting to grasp Chu Baihan’s hand.

At that moment, Tang Ze intervened and grabbed his wrist.

With a "crack," before anyone could react, Xiang Zhang’s wrist was broken.

"Ah..."

He screamed in pain.

Those nearby felt chills listening to it.

"Let go," he first warned Tang Ze, and upon realizing it was futile, he could only plead in a low voice.

His guards heard his scream from not far away and immediately ran over.

They tried to stop Tang Ze, but before they could get close, Tang Yu used the scabbard of his sword to strike them back; they had absolutely no chance to resist.

"Okay, okay hero, please let me go first, what exactly did I do wrong, I’ll change, I will definitely change..."

Xiang Zhang cried bitterly and tearfully, and couldn’t have looked more miserable.

"You know what you did wrong, I don’t need to remind you..."

Tang Ze sneered coldly, and his grip tightened slightly, causing Xiang Zhang to scream in agony again.

The pain was unbearable.

As the sole heir of the Princess Consort Residence, he had never suffered such humiliation before.

"Princess, you, please plead for me."

In unbearable pain, Xiang Zhang had no choice but to seek help from Chu Baihan, realizing that the man before him was clearly venting Chu Baihan’s anger.

Yet Chu Baihan remained unmoved, and she even coldly said, "Tang Ze, break his hand. If anything happens, I will cover for you."

Upon hearing Chu Baihan’s words, Tang Ze’s lips curled into a subtle smirk.

He didn’t need her protection...

However, if she insisted on protecting him, he was not opposed.

"Pavilion Master Tang, the Princely Heir only spoke the truth to the Empress, why must you be so angry? On such a splendid day, it is wrong to harm others."

At this moment, Nan Leshi also stepped forward, feigning magnanimity in her persuasion.

"Empress, please, quickly intervene. If there were any issues, it would be difficult to explain to the Princess Consort Residence," she even began persuading Chu Baihan.

Upon hearing this, the sarcasm on Chu Baihan’s face deepened.

Turning her gaze, she emotionlessly told Nan Leshi, "I will handle the matter with the Princess Consort Residence myself, it’s not your place to tell me how to conduct my affairs."

After a while, feeling that Xiang Zhang was almost in unbearable pain, she finally walked over to him.

"Princely Heir, I am pleased of your repentance. But if you dare slander my Xixi even in the slightest, I will take your life!"

Xixi was his inviolable taboo!

The fact that she had a son was no longer a secret in the capital of Nanduan Kingdom.

But what of it?

No one had the right to slight her Xixi.

"A drag? If Commandery Prince Xiang hasn’t taught you how to speak, I don’t mind teaching you."

As her words fell, Chu Baihan dislocated Xiang Zhang’s shoulder.

"Ah!"

Xiang Zhang let out a cry of pain.

"Nan Baihan, you are out of line!"

Just then, an angry voice came from behind them.

Hearing the voice, Chu Baihan’s expression changed slightly.

She turned and saw an old woman in luxurious robes and white hair, being supported as she walked over.

"Great Empress Dowager."

Upon seeing this, Nan Leshi and Nan Leqin quickly ran toward her.

Chu Baihan observed and her eyes flickered.

She figured it out...

Today, Nan Leshi’s real intent in inviting her was not to have Xiang Zhang humiliate her, their actual aim was—

The Empress Dowager!

The Empress Dowager’s family name was Xiang.

Xiang Zhang could strut around the capital of Nanduan Kingdom not only because his father had a Death Immunity Token, but also because—

The Empress Dowager traditionally favored the Xiang Family.

In earlier years, while the Empress Dowager was still the Empress, she had no children. Her only son, though named the Crown Prince, was in fact adopted from a concubine who died in childbirth.

And her maternal family had been in decline, so in order to secure her own position, she acknowledged the father of Commandery Prince Xiang as her sworn brother.

To a certain extent, the Empress Dowager and the current Commandery Prince Residence shared a symbiotic relationship of honor and disgrace.
