Chapter 524 The Embarrassed Princess
Chapter 524 The Embarrassed Princess
The border of Jizhou began to be turbulent again, and the news spread to the capital, especially to some merchants traveling outside, who spread the news of what they saw along the way in the taverns.
After all, Jizhou is very close to Kyoto. Now that Jizhou is in turmoil, some people in Kyoto are naturally panicked.
In addition, Zhongzhou is also experiencing fierce internal strife. Fortunately, the situation in Beisha Kingdom is similar, otherwise the entire Dayan Kingdom would have been plunged into a fierce war.
Si He thought about it and decided to leave Kyoto first. After all, she had stayed here long enough and gained a lot.
However, the scorching sun made her feel helpless and she could only travel by carriage.
After the simple carriage left the city, many people followed it from a distance. Perhaps it was because there were too few people accompanying their convoy that people couldn't help but become suspicious.
However, there was another group of people in front of Si He. There were hundreds of them, and the scene was grand. Especially the carriages in the middle were very luxurious and magnificent. They were obviously wealthy families. They occupied the entire official road and moved slowly. Si He and others could only follow them slowly.
The people following Si He did not attack Si He's small convoy, perhaps because they were concerned about the large group of people in front.
Coincidentally, the large group of people were also heading towards Jizhou, so the journey was quite peaceful. Seeing this, Si He was not in a hurry to leave. She wanted to save herself some trouble. It was such a hot day and she really didn't want to take action.
The main reason was that there were other bandits along the way. She had seen them when she came here, and now she was riding in a carriage, not on horseback like before, which was not as convenient.
But I have to say that following a large group of people had a pretty good effect. Along the way, many people were like them, following from a distance, and relying on the prestige of this group of people, they avoided a lot of trouble.
After a day's leisurely journey, we finally arrived at the small border town of Jizhou, but it was still quite a distance away from Changping City.
This area is under the jurisdiction of Yue Zijing, the second son of the Yue family. Although he is also a concubine's son, the territory in this area is much more peaceful than other areas. Because it is adjacent to the territory of Kyoto, there are no disputes. At most, there are some bandits causing trouble.
The large group of people in front planned to go into the city to rest, and Si He and others followed them into the city. The city was much safer than the outside. At least the bandits were not so rampant. It was not that she was afraid, but she just found it troublesome and wanted to have a good sleep. Gao You and the others were also more relaxed.
The small town is still quite lively in the evening, but compared to the prosperous Kyoto, it seems much simpler.
Because there were so many people and horses ahead and the scene was so grand, after entering the city, pedestrians on the street retreated to both sides to watch this imposing group of people.
"Help me—"
Just as Si He and the others were about to turn to the next street, a woman who looked like she was running away suddenly rushed out from the intersection and almost bumped into the horse. However, the woman fell to the ground. At this time, a group of men chased them from behind, running towards them aggressively and shouting: "Quick! Catch that bitch!"
The woman was frightened and panicked when she saw this. She quickly got up from the ground and ran while shouting, "Help! I am a princess! I am a princess! Save me——"
Upon hearing this, Si He lifted the curtain of the car and saw the disheveled woman running past the car and rushing towards the huge convoy.
When she saw the woman's appearance, Si He raised her brows slightly. This person was the once arrogant Princess Minghui. It was just that there was an earthquake at that time. She thought that the princess had fallen into the crack of the ground and died. Unexpectedly, she was lucky enough not to die. However, looking at her current condition, she is not much better.
Princess Minghui was dressed revealingly, like a woman in a brothel, full of the smell of prostitution. There were many blue and red marks on her exposed skin, and it was obvious that her situation was very bad.
However, when she was escaping, she still had some brains and ran towards people of noble status to ask for help. As for Si He's simple carriage, it was simply ignored.
Although, she didn't mean to save him.
She said to Gao You: "Stop for a moment and watch the fun."
Gao You and the others naturally recognized the princess. They were infuriated by her arrogance at the time. They didn't expect that the princess would end up like this. Now, after hearing what Si He said, they pulled the carriage over to the side to watch the excitement.
At this time, Princess Minghui had already run to the group of people. She recognized the owner of the carriage and immediately cried for help, "Seventh sister, save me!"
The men who were chasing her also ran up and tried to pull her away.
"Wait!"
A female voice came from the luxurious carriage, and the guards around immediately stopped the men's actions.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted by a delicate hand. When the woman saw the embarrassed Princess Minghui, she was shocked. She obviously had not expected that she would end up in such a terrible situation.
"Fourth sister, why are you here? What's going on?" She then looked at the men angrily, "How dare you capture the princess?!"
The men panicked upon seeing this. The leader quickly said, "We didn't know she was a princess! When the traffickers sold her to our building, they said she had a mental problem. We thought she was just talking nonsense..."
They were now sweating coldly and secretly cursing their bad luck.
When the people around heard this, their eyes widened. A princess was actually taken to a brothel. This was a huge scandal. They were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
Princess Minghui originally didn't want to make it public, but the situation was critical. If she didn't ask for help, she would be captured!
She didn't want to embarrass herself here and was about to get on the carriage when a group of people came from behind. They were people sent from the building.
"What's going on?" The leading manager immediately asked his subordinates about the situation, and the subordinates quickly reported what happened here.
The one in the carriage was also a princess, the Seventh Princess Mingyun. By now, she had a general idea of the situation and immediately shouted at them, "You dare to offend the princess? This is an unforgivable crime. Wait for your entire clan to be executed!"
"Come here! Go call the county magistrate in this city and bring them all to justice!"
"Yes!"
The guard received the order and left in a hurry.
Seeing this, Minghui's face became very gloomy. She wanted to get on the carriage, but was blocked by Mingyun's maid without leaving a trace. Mingyun pretended not to see it and had no intention of asking her to get on the carriage, leaving her standing on the street in embarrassment!
This kind of thing should not be publicized in the street, but Mingyun seemed determined to seek justice for her, not caring about the big deal at all, and it was obvious that he wanted to make fun of her.
Minghui clenched her fists and pinched her palms with her nails, trying to hold back from a falling out. She used to have an average relationship with Mingyun, but she never expected that she would take advantage of her misfortune like this!
