Episode 30: You just want to steal things!
“Princess, Yangyang didn’t lie, the mask is…” Seeing that the Sixth Princess’s expression was not right, Sheng Yunjiao hurriedly stepped forward to speak up for Lu Yangyang.
He had barely opened his mouth, before the Sixth Princess interrupted him, "Did I ask you?"
Then he coldly said to Lu Yangyang, "Take off your mask!"
Lu Yangyang stood still.
"Guards, strip the mask off her face! I want to see who dares to steal the imperial tribute!" The Sixth Princess looked at Lu Yangyang as if she were already dead.
"Princess, I'll do it!" Cheng Shujin had suffered a loss at Lu Yangyang's hands today and was worried about not having a chance to get revenge. Wasn't this a golden opportunity?
She walked excitedly towards Lu Yangyang and reached out to grab the mask on Lu Yangyang's face.
"Yangyang!" Sheng Yunjiao called out worriedly.
Lu Yangyang calmly raised her foot and kicked Cheng Shujin. Cheng Shujin was caught off guard and was kicked several meters away.
"Ah—" Cheng Shujin's burly body landed on the ground with a soft "crack" sound, indicating that something had twisted.
"Never learns from her mistakes." Lu Yangyang uttered four words expressionlessly.
The servants following the Sixth Princess rushed over to help Cheng Shujin up. Cheng Shujin shouted at Lu Yangyang, "You just wait, I won't let you get away with this!"
"Serves him right," Sheng Yunjiao muttered softly.
The Sixth Princess's face darkened further. She pulled out her whip and lashed it at Lu Yangyang.
Sheng Yunjiao's eyes widened in fright.
Lu Yangyang accurately caught the whip that the Sixth Princess was throwing.
"You vile thing! You dare to resist?" the Sixth Princess roared. "Guards! Seize her!"
Two guards quickly approached.
"What are you doing?" a voice came from ahead.
The Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, and Yan Yue, having changed their clothes, walked over here.
When Yan Yue saw that the Sixth Princess was confronting Lu Yangyang, he rushed over, snatched the whip from Lu Yangyang's hand, and instinctively shielded Lu Yangyang behind him.
The Sixth Princess ran towards the Third Prince, grabbed his arm, and looked up at him with a wronged expression, saying, "Third Brother, please help me teach that brat a lesson! What kind of person is she? How dare she wear a tribute bestowed by the Emperor! I tried to teach her a lesson, and she even dared to fight back! How could she possibly have such a thing? She probably stole it!"
"Yu Ru, don't talk nonsense!" the Third Prince said softly.
"How am I talking nonsense? I asked her where the mask came from, why didn't she tell me? I think she just didn't dare to say!" the Sixth Princess said relentlessly.
Sheng Yun, being incredibly spoiled, couldn't help but whisper back, "Is it that we don't want to tell? It's that you don't want us to tell!"
"What did you say? Say it again!" The Sixth Princess's voice turned cold instantly.
Her tone was completely different from when she was flirting with the Third Prince.
Sheng Yun puffed out her cheeks in a spoiled manner, but she dared not offend the Sixth Princess.
"And also, Third Brother, that brat even injured Cheng Er. Cheng Er is the daughter of an important official. How dare that wild girl who appeared out of nowhere lay a hand on him?" the Sixth Princess said to the Third Prince.
“Princess, with so many people present, the truth can be easily found out by asking,” Yan Yue said coldly.
"Fine, if she's the one who injured Cheng Er, then make her kneel down right now and kowtow to me to apologize," the Sixth Princess declared loudly.
"You!" Sheng Yun's eyes reddened with anger. The Sixth Princess was clearly twisting the facts!
"It was clearly Cheng Shujin who started it!"
The Sixth Princess rolled her eyes: "Cheng Er didn't lay a hand on her. Otherwise, how come this wild girl isn't injured?"
"Third Brother, just tell me, do you believe me or not!"
The sixth princess clung to the third prince's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Alright, explain what happened. As a princess, you must be careful with your words and actions. No matter what happens, you cannot act rashly. This matter ends here. The game is about to start, so hurry back to your seat." The Third Prince frowned and said helplessly.
“Alright, then for the sake of Third Brother, I’ll reluctantly let this wild girl’s offense slide, but…” The Sixth Princess’s gaze fell on Lu Yangyang’s mask: “You have to take off this mask. Not just anyone is qualified to wear tribute.”
"After all that talk, you just want to steal things. Why go through all this trouble?" Lu Yangyang finally understood. This so-called princess was actually so shallow.
"I originally thought you were close to that Cheng Er, and that you knew she bullied people at the door and I beat her up, so you were holding a grudge and dragged you here to settle scores and deliberately make things difficult for me. But it turns out you just wanted to steal my mask. You should have said so earlier!"
Lu Yangyang learned something new once again.
The people in this capital city were indeed different from those in her dreams, and even more different from those she had imagined.
"You're talking nonsense! Who do you think you are! This princess is going to steal your things! Are they yours? If you have the guts, tell me who gave them to you! You dare to pretend with me, princess? I bet you can't answer! You liar! You dare to lie to me like this, could you really be some kind of thief?" This was the first time in the Sixth Princess's life that someone had dared to accuse her of stealing so openly!
This is simply unreasonable!
“Yes…” Lu Yangyang opened her mouth.
A voice suddenly came from behind them.
"It was given to her by me."
The usually fierce and aggressive sixth princess felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing the voice. She slowly turned around, staring at the newcomer in disbelief, her voice trembling, "Your...Your Majesty..."
The Crown Prince looked at the Sixth Princess with a calm gaze and asked, "Do I need your permission to send someone anything?"
"No, no, Your Majesty, please listen to me, I, I..." The once arrogant Sixth Princess was now as if someone had grabbed her throat, unable to utter a complete sentence.
"I have no idea when something you see on the road becomes stolen simply because it's a tribute. As a princess, do you lack a mouth or a brain? Can't you find out the truth?"
"me……"
"Furthermore, as a princess, you ask people for things without asking. If they don't give them to you, you resort to robbery. If you can't get what you want, you twist the truth. Is it that Father Emperor has been short of your food and drink, or that Consort Xiao has mistreated you? Why don't I submit a memorial to Father Emperor tomorrow and ask him if the princesses have been short of their allowances, forcing you, a princess, to go out and rob things?"
"I, I... Waaah..." The sixth princess's eyes swayed, and she almost couldn't stand up. She burst into tears with a "waaah".
"What are you crying for? Where did you learn your manners? Who gave you permission to cry out loud in public? Does the royal family have no dignity?"
