Chapter 715: Chapter 715: Asking Punishment For The Fourth Prince

Bai Xifeng went to see her father. Her brother was also there. They were talking about military stuff. When they saw Bai Xifeng enter the house, they stopped talking and welcomed her.

"I hear you want to see me, my dear." Bai Xiang smiled.

"Father, something happened at the palace when I visited my empress dowager." Bai Xifeng looked so serious.

Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng’s expression turned serious seeing his daughter/ sister’s expression.

"What is it?" Bai Xiang asked.

Bai Xifeng began to tell them about her encounter with the crown prince and the fourth prince. When Bai Xifeng mentioned the fourth prince’s words, their murderous aura leaked from their bodies. They were ready to kill the fourth prince.

She also mentioned the incident to the empress dowager. However, the empress dowager seemed to want to protect her grandson.

"Humph! That old woman, after what my sister did to you, you still dare to protect your grandson after knowing what he said to my sister." Bai Tingfeng was curious.

"The royal family is always like that. They did not care about right or wrong. They just want to protect their royal blood." Bai Xiang said.

"Father, we can not let the royal family step on our family like this. We should teach them. Otherwise, they will continue to think that there is nothing wrong with doing something like that." Bai Tingfeng said.

"I will go and seek justice for you, Xixi. I will ask the emperor to punish the fourth prince." Bai Xiang said.

"Judging from what the fourth prince says, it seems normal for him to grab a woman and bed her. It would be better if people could come forward to tell their experience." Bai Xifeng said.

"I bet he is." Bai Tingfeng said.

"The fourth prince already has a lot of women in his palace." Bai Xiang said.

"If the emperor still doesn’t have to punish his son, we can force his hand to do so." Bai Xifeng said.

"What do you mean by that?" Bai Tingfeng asked. It seemed his sister had an idea.

"We can use people to protest." Bai Xifeng grinned.

"What do you mean?" Bai Tingfeng asked.

"Many people came to the teahouse. We can leak the news about the fourth prince’s behaviour, about you asking for a punishment for the fourth prince and also about the emperor who did not want to punish his son. People would talk a lot about that. Some people would fight for justice. Thinking about the fourth prince, with that attitude, he must offend a lot of people. I am sure people could come and tell their experience." Bai Xifeng stated.

"Hmm... That is a good idea." Bai Xiang nodded.

"That if only the emperor wants to protect the fourth prince." Bai Xifeng said.

....

The empress dowager called the emperor, the crown prince and the fourth prince. The three of them greeted the empress dowager.

"Imperial Mother, why do you want to meet us?" The emperor asked.

"Liu Lan, you should know why?" The empress dowager looked stern as she called the fourth prince’s name.

The fourth prince was puzzled as to why his grandmother suddenly called his name. He did not remember doing anything that could make his grandmother angry.

"Grandmother.... I don’t know." The fourth prince said.

"Grandmother, is this because of something that Young Lady Bai says?" The crown prince asked.

"Oh... Yes... You were with Liu Lan at that moment. You should know about that too." The empress dowager said.

"Grandmother, you should not believe that damn girl’s lie. She is..." The fourth prince wanted to talk badly about Bai Xifeng.

"Stop right there. She is my saviour. I will not allow you to say something like that about her." The empress dowager scolded the fourth prince.

"What is going on here?" The emperor was still in the dark.

The empress dowager began to tell the emperor about today’s incident. The more the emperor listened to it, the more stern his expression became.

"Why did you say something like that to that girl?" The emperor scolded the fourth prince.

"Well... That..." The fourth prince could not explain anything.

"Grandmother, Imperial Father, Lan does not mean anything bad. He just wants to help me at the moment." The crown prince helped his younger brother.

"That’s right. I just want to help." The fourth prince chimed in.

"I bet General Bai already heard from his daughter. He must be furious about that." The empress dowager said.

"He probably comes tomorrow to have Lan punished." The emperor said.

"Imperial Father, I don’t want to get punished." The fourth prince cried.

"What are you going to do, son?" The empress dowager asked.

"Bai Xiang probably wants Lan’er to get a harsh punishment. Of course, I would not allow it. Otherwise, how could I hold my face later?" The emperor said.

"So, what punishment would you give Lan-er?" The empress dowager asked.

"Hmm... I will put house arrest. He could not go out for a month." The emperor said.

"What? A month? Imperial Father, you can not do that to me." The fourth prince cried when he heard that he could not go out of his palace for one month.

"What are you crying about? You just need to stay inside your house for one month. It is not like I ask you to stay in prison. You are free to do whatever you like inside your house." The emperor reminded the fourth prince.
