Chapter 1147: Chapter 1126: Cry

His eyes reddened as he said, "The collapse of the Jianwei Dyke is his fault. How many people died in Jiannan Road because of this? The court hasn’t judged, but that doesn’t mean everyone doesn’t understand in their hearts. They say he’s royalty, so stripping him of a little fiefdom is considered punishment. But in Jiannan, especially under Yizhou City, nine out of ten houses are empty. Who can lose their loved ones and still have peace of mind?"

The Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince were stunned, at a loss for words when faced with Bai Erlang’s remarks.

After a long pause, the Fifth Prince hesitantly asked, "Did your family also lose loved ones in the flood?"

Bai Erlang turned his head away, ignoring them.

He also knew that he had caused trouble again. Manbao was now trapped there and definitely couldn’t come out. She had been in the palace for such a long time, always restraining her temper, not causing any trouble.

Every time she returned home from the palace, she would tell them that it was really unbearable to be there, that she had to think twice before speaking, and even her breathing had to be light.

Although the Empress was very kind and never deliberately made things difficult for her, she couldn’t help but be constantly on edge, no matter how happily she smiled on the surface. She dared not let her guard down, unlike at home where she could show her displeasure and just go back to her room.

She could also pick a fight with them.

Before entering the palace today, the three of them were actually full of confidence, not thinking they would cause any trouble. The plan for today was very clear: to keep a low profile and avoid troubles, then look for an opportunity to let Bai Shan gain recognition, laying a solid foundation for future complaints.

But just now, he couldn’t hold back...

Seeing Manbao standing in front of Li Yunfeng from a distance, not knowing what they were talking about, Li Yunfeng raised her hand as if to hit her, but was caught by Manbao by the wrist.

Bai Erlang’s tears couldn’t be held back any longer, falling down his face, and he crouched on the ground and started crying.

The Fifth Prince was taken aback for a moment, his tone softened, and he quickly said, "Don’t cry, I didn’t say I would complain to the adults about you."

Yin Huo also crouched down and patted his shoulder, saying, "Manbao will be alright. The person who just passed by seemed to be Ji Xiang’s little grandson; I’ve seen him once before."

Seeing him cry so sadly, the Sixth Prince also hurriedly said, "If Li Yunfeng really complains to the Empress Dowager, I’ll plead on behalf of your Senior Sister. Don’t be sad."

After saying that, he pulled the Fifth Prince along, "Fifth Brother, you agree, right?"

The Fifth Prince nodded and said, "That’s right, stop crying."

Bai Erlang felt especially embarrassed since the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince were people he had only met today, so he wiped his tears and said, "I’m not crying, just got some sand in my eyes, don’t you understand?"

Yin Huo nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

The Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince looked at him with speechless expressions.

The two of them turned to look at the distant garden and waved to call another palace servant over, "Why haven’t they come back after such a long time? You go listen too, see what they are saying, and make sure they don’t really start fighting."

The Fifth Prince said to Bai Erlang, "As long as they don’t actually come to blows, it’s just a verbal disagreement. Even if the Empress Dowager decides to punish, it won’t be too severe."

But actually fighting would be a different matter.

Bai Erlang was clearly aware of this as well and hesitated, "Should I go over? Manbao has an even worse temper than me, what if they really start fighting?"

Sixth Prince didn’t believe it, "You must be kidding, I think your Senior Sister is much more stable than you, how could they even start fighting?"

Fifth Prince had already stood up on the railing of the pavilion to look over, and nodded, "They indeed won’t start fighting, because it seems Yunfeng is about to fight with Ji Hao. Doctor Zhou Junior has already stepped aside."

As soon as Bai Erlang heard this, he immediately sprang onto the railing, hugging a pillar and looked in that direction. Sure enough, Manbao had already stepped aside, and Li Yunfeng was arguing with Ji Hao.

Bai Erlang thoughtfully said, "Considering Ji Hao’s mouth... Oh no, they’re really going to start fighting. His mouth is notoriously venomous."

Sixth Prince was not convinced, being young, but Fifth Prince clearly had heard of it or experienced it himself and nodded, "This is really bad. Come on, can someone fetch either my eldest sister-in-law or Third Sister-in-law? Or, calling my mother over is also fine. Hurry and separate them."

Ji Hao was standing face-to-face in an argument with Li Yunfeng.

Zhou Man worried that the situation escalating would be disadvantageous to her, but Ji Hao was not too concerned. The Ji Family were nobility, his grandfather was the Prime Minister, and the Prince of Yizhou was just a prince after all, what’s wrong with him arguing with the prince’s daughter?

He even had a grudge against the Princess Consort of Yizhou.

When Ji Hao’s mouth got venomous, not even ten Manbaos could compare. So Li Yunfeng was truly infuriated. She raised her hand to strike, but Manbao shielded him, grabbed her hand and pushed it away, then turned to Ji Hao, "You also hold back a little, huh? If you really make her sick with anger, what will you do?"

Ji Hao scoffed, "I was just telling the truth. If she becomes sick from anger, that’s her small endurance, but that’s inherited from her family lineage, what does it have to do with me?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Changyu was displeased and stepped forward, "What do you mean by that? Are you insulting our Li Clan?"

Ji Hao offered a gesture of respect before replying, "She is not born of the Imperial Mother or raised by the Empress, how dare I insult the Imperial family?"

Princess Changyu figured it out, "Oh, you’re talking about the Imperial Aunt."

She asked with confusion, "Do you have a grudge with the Ying Family?"

Li Yunfeng was already driven mad with rage, shouting "Ah! Ah! Ah!" and lunged at Ji Hao to strike him. Ji Hao dodged; he was aware that it was inappropriate to retaliate today, being the Empress Dowager’s birthday. Yet with his skills, dodging was well within his means.

But he also didn’t like having to dodge all the time. So, seizing an opportunity while she was kicking, he swiftly turned and dodged to the side. Li Yunfeng’s foot landed on a pebble, she lost her balance and—plonk—fell into the flower bed.

Princess Changyu couldn’t help but burst into laughter, and Ji Hao was amused too. He jumped to the side and shouted, "Look, you all saw it, right? She fell on her own, I didn’t hit her."

Mingda and Manbao couldn’t help but cover their mouths and laugh. Mingda was the first to react, quickly stepping forward to help Li Yunfeng up.

Li Yunfeng’s hair was disheveled, and that fall was no light stumble, it sprained her foot. Plus, being humiliated like this in front of everyone, she angrily pushed the helping Mingda hard, sending him back, "Quit your fake kindness!"

Mingda, taken aback, was pushed backward, only for Manbao to quickly catch him and they ended up in a heap.

Seeing her sister bullied, Princess Changyu, agitated, walked up and pushed Li Yunfeng, pushing her back into the flower bed, "Ungrateful, Mingda was trying to help you, why did you push her?"

Li Yunfeng burst into tears, exclaiming, "Fine then, all of you gang up to bully me alone, I’m going to tell the Grand Empress Dowager!"

She got up from the ground and headed towards the great hall. Mingda’s face drained of color, yelling, "Quick, hold her back!"

If she actually went to the great hall, these people might not face consequences, but Manbao would not escape without some serious damage.

Ji Hao knew this too and reached out to grab her.
