Wang Wei laughed and said, “This… isn’t that serious…”
Jian Qingqing raised her eyebrows. “How can it not be serious? Don’t you know how strong the impact of the carriage is? If I didn’t sit firmly, I would have already flown out. Don’t tell me that it would only be serious if I got injured?”
Wang Wei’s mouth was filled with bitterness. “This… This dynasty doesn’t have any laws regarding this…”
At this moment, Princess Yanhe said coldly from within the carriage, “I also think it’s quite serious. However, Lord Wang, you have to take a good look.
This was not me who hit her, but her who hit me. I am the Princess of Great Wei) who knows who that person is? If it’s someone who wants to harm me, that would be related to the stability of the Great Wei Imperial Court. I suggest that Lord Wang put her in jail and investigate who is trying to harm me behind my back!”
Wang Wei was stunned for a moment. Why did it sound like Princess Yanhe did not know that it was Princess Ding An? This was going to be difficult.
He subconsciously glanced at Jian Qingqing. When he saw that there was no expression on her face, he retracted his gaze.
He did not know what that Princess Ding An meant. Did she want to hide her identity from Princess Yanhe?
According to Wang Wei, he wanted to tell Princess Yanhe about Jian Qingqing’s identity. That way, it would not be his business. He would let the two princesses quarrel.
But he was afraid that if he said it, he would anger Princess Ding An. The consequences were not something he could bear.
At this moment, he only hoped that Crown Prince Ming would come quickly. He could not hold on any longer.
“Umm… We can’t be so hasty in convicting him. We still have to investigate further. It’s not too late to do so after we’ve investigated thoroughly…”
Princess Yanhe did not expect Wang Wei to actually reject her request. She was stunned at first, but after she reacted, she became furious and shouted, “So,
Wang Wei, you’re going to disobey my orders?!”
Wang Wei laughed and said, “Princess Yanhe, that’s not what you said. Everything has to be investigated thoroughly. Furthermore, I’m a subject of the Emperor, so I naturally have to listen to the Emperor’s orders. Of course, Princess Yanhe, if you have any orders, I’ll try my best to satisfy them.”
After saying that, Wang Wei wanted to give himself a slap. What a lousy mouth! What nonsense was he spouting?! It was over this time. Before the matter was settled, he had already offended Princess Yanhe.
Who didn’t know that Princess Yanhe was not favored by the Emperor and even said that she would only listen to the Emperor’s orders? His words clearly showed that he did not take Princess Yanhe seriously! This time, Princess Yanhe was definitely going to fly into a rage.
As expected, Princess Yanhe’s expression immediately changed and she flew into a rage.
Wang Wei explained dryly, “Princess, I didn’t mean that…”
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Princess Yanhe. “Good! Wang Wei! Do you not want your official hat anymore?! You dare to look down on me?! Wait for me! See if my words are useless!”
The matter of her poor relationship with the emperor was Princess Yanhe’s reverse scale. Although there were people secretly discussing it behind her back, no one dared to say it in front of her. Wang Wei’s words could be said to have stepped on her tail.
Wang Wei’s heart was filled with bitterness, but he could not say it out loud. He wished he could faint on the spot.
Suddenly, Jian Qingqing said, “You don’t have to randomly threaten people. This world belongs to the Emperor. The officials of the Imperial Court are all appointed by the Emperor, and it is not up to you to decide. If it is really up to you, I would like to everyone else if they are willing to follow you. I believe many people are willing to answer..”
