Prince Ping An was the current emperor's younger brother. Although he rarely participated in politics, there was no doubt that the blood of the imperial family flowed through his veins.
If Yao Yue really crippled Ziyu Wei, it would be troublesome.
Prince Ping An's residence might have Xiantian Yuan Kings, so it wouldn't be difficult to deal with him.
In the past, the Long clan was powerful and didn't fear any of the other princes. But now that the Long clan had lost its power, the other princes had less to worry about.
Yao Yue wasn't a fool. He knew the severity of the consequences, so he didn't cripple Ziyu Wei. He only wanted to teach him a lesson.
This way, Prince Ping An wouldn't be too angry. As for the Yao family, Zhu family, and Fang family, Yao Yue didn't care. He would deal with them if they came up with anything.
Ziyu Wei's hand was broken, but his bones weren't broken. He would recover in a month or two.
Ziyu Wei was in great pain, but he knew that Yao Yue had gone easy on him. He immediately bowed and prepared to leave.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave. Take them with you. If they don't agree, they can come find me at any time," Yao Yue said.
"No, no, no!"
The Purple Universe Guards responded repeatedly. Then, they called the people who were hiding outside to come over and carry the people here away.
When Bian Jiaorou saw this, her expression didn't calm down. Instead, she became even more worried.
"Mother, are you alright?" Yao Yue asked Bian Jiaorou.
Bian Jiaorou came back to her senses and shook her head. "I … I'm fine. But Mei Niang …"
Bian Jiaorou couldn't continue. She didn't expect Hu Mei Niang to be a seductress. She didn't know what to say.
"Let's go. We'll talk inside." Yao Yue sighed.
He knew that Hu Mei Niang's identity had been exposed, so he had to explain it clearly. Otherwise, it would affect them greatly.
The group entered the courtyard. Hu Mei Niang hugged Yao Yue's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
"Don't worry. It'll be fine."
Yao Yue patted the back of Hu Mei 'niang's hand. He then looked at his mother and asked, "Mother, let me ask you, what do you think of the time you spent with Mei' niang?"
"Mei Niang and I get along very well, it's just that …" Bian Jiaorou replied.
Before she could finish, Yao Yue interrupted her and said, "That's enough. Mei Niang has the blood of a fairy, but she's a kind person. She also has the blood of a human, and she grew up among humans. She won't harm anyone. Although her blood has awakened, it doesn't mean that she's cruel and bloodthirsty. Mother, my two brothers, I hope that you don't mind her identity. She's a pitiful person, and her family is long gone. She has no one to rely on. We should treat her like family and continue to care for her and give her warmth."
Bian Jiaorou, Guan Zhangyun, and Zhang Mengfei all had complicated expressions on their faces. Asking them to accept a person with the bloodline of the Demonic Clan, they were all somewhat resistant. This was human nature.
"Forget it, Prince Consort. I want to leave this place and never appear again." Hu Mei Niang's tears flowed again. Her beautiful eyes were filled with the determination to die.
"Mei Niang, Auntie has let you down. Come, you can still live with Auntie in the future. Auntie won't abandon you." Bian Jiaorou finally faced her own heart and said.
She had lived with Hu Mei Niang for the past few days. Both of them had had tragic experiences, and they lived happily together. Hu Mei Niang was very diligent in her work, and she was very respectful to her. She treated Hu Mei Niang like her own daughter, and she hoped that Hu Mei Niang would stay by her side.
Hu Mei Niang had turned into a fairy, and she couldn't accept it. However, her son's words had made her feel better.
There were good and bad fairies, and Hu Mei Niang didn't have any intention of harming her. Otherwise, she would have died long ago. When she thought of that, she didn't mind anymore.
Zhang Mengfei said, "I don't think it's a big deal. In any case, Mei Niang won't harm us. I'll continue to treat her as my friend."
"That's right. So what if she has turned into a fairy? I've heard that those who have turned into fairies all have extremely powerful cultivation talent. As long as they are strong enough, why should they care about what others think?" Guan Changyun agreed.
Although the two of them couldn't accept Hu Mei Niang's situation at first, they accepted it after hearing Yao Yue's words.
Hu Mei Niang was just a weak girl who didn't know how to cultivate. Even if her bloodline had awakened, she wouldn't harm them. So why should they reject her?
They were still young, and there was no need to discriminate against her. They just needed to get used to it.
"Mei Niang, you heard it too. My mother and my two brothers don't mind your identity. You don't need to be afraid of anything," Yao Yue consoled.
"Is … is that true?
Auntie, you're not afraid of me? "Hu Mei Niang asked weakly.
Her hair had turned silver-white, her eyes were filled with a devilish aura, her fingernails had become extremely long, and she even had a fox tail. She was indeed quite frightening.
Bian Jiaorou gathered her courage and walked up to Hu Mei Niang. Holding her hand, she said, "I can't get used to this appearance, but I know you're a kind child. There's nothing for me to be afraid of. Of course, it would be better if you returned to your original appearance."
Hearing Bian Jiao Rou's words, Hu Meiniang's body and mind finally relaxed. Her appearance rapidly changed. Soon, her hair turned black, her gaze became gentle, her fingernails retracted, and her demon tail disappeared. She returned to her original appearance.
The few people present all revealed looks of disbelief when they saw this scene.
Yao Yue thought to himself, Looks like Mei Niang has quite a bit of fox demon blood. Could it be that she's showing signs of going against her ancestors?
If that's the case, her future will be limitless.
Yao Yue had inherited the memories of a Demon Emperor, so he was able to recognize some of the characteristics of the demon race.
"Alright, we have to leave now. Otherwise, we won't be able to leave," Yao Yue said.
"Leave?
Where should we go? "Bian Jiaorou asked with a troubled expression.
She and Hu Mei Niang had finally gotten used to living here. She didn't expect to have to leave again. She didn't know where to go.
"Let's return to grandfather first," Yao Yue said after some hesitation.
He had offended several prosperous clans at the same time, and they wouldn't let him off so easily. Apart from returning to the Long Clan, he didn't know where else he could protect his mother and Hu Mei Niang.
Bian Jiaorou knew that she had no other choice. She could only nod obediently.
When Yao Yue brought Bian Jiaorou and Hu Mei Niang back to the Long Clan, the other clans flew into a rage.
The first was the Yao family. Yao Lin was almost dead, and he was sent back with only a single breath. His mother, Pei Yanhong, burst into tears, shaking the entire Yao family.
This third concubine's position in the Yao Family was not low. She had always been the one to bully others. Now that they heard her cry so miserably, they were all guessing who it was that dared to make this great aunt lose her self-control.
"God damn it! That bastard harmed my son! I'll tear him to pieces!" Pei Yanhong screamed as she lay on the bed and looked at her half-dead son.
At that moment, the Yao family's patriarch, Yao Mingzhe, hurried in with two people behind him.
Yao Mingzhe looked at his son lying on the bed and frowned. "What is going on?"
"What's going on? You still have the nerve to ask? It's all because of that bastard you gave birth to. He beat Lin 'er to this state. I told you to execute them long ago. Now that Lin' er is like this, are you happy?" Pei Yanhong threw herself into Yao Mingzhe's arms and started beating him.
"Bastard?
What's going on? Explain it to me! "Yao Mingzhe shouted as if he had thought of something.
"If you don't chop off that bastard's head, I don't want to live anymore!" Pei Yanhong was clearly very sad. She did not even answer Yao Mingzhe's question.
"Quiet down!" Yao Mingzhe roared at Pei Yanhong. Pei Yanhong was so scared that she stopped talking.
"Go out and ask what's going on!" Yao Mingzhe shouted at the guards who had followed him in.
"Yes, milord!" the two replied in unison.
Only then did Yao Mingzhe arrive in front of Yao Lin and begin inspecting his injuries.
Yao Mingzhe was not proficient in the primary realm, but he was still a mid-level primary general. Naturally, he could see Yao Lin's condition.
Hiss!
After inspecting Yao Lin's injuries, he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. "He was actually so ruthless!
All four of his legs are crippled. He wants Lin 'er to suffer a fate worse than death! "
"Men, summon an imperial physician immediately!" Yao Mingzhe immediately ordered.
The servant outside the door answered and hurried off to invite them in.
Not long after, the two guards returned. They had already learned everything from the person who had brought Yao Lin back and reported it to Yao Mingzhe.
"Did you hear that? It's all that bastard's fault. You must avenge our son!" Pei Yanhong said agitatedly.
Yao Mingzhe's expression kept changing. He could have guessed who was behind this, but even after confirming it, he still found it hard to accept.
"Don't worry, I won't let this matter rest!" Yao Mingzhe hesitated for a moment before replying.
"I want you to send someone to kill him right now!" Pei Yanhong said fiercely.
In the Minister of Works' residence, Zhu Mohai, the Minister of Works, had lost his usual calm demeanor. He threw a thousand-year-old luminous goblet on the ground and roared, "A fool actually dares to injure my son time and time again. Do you think my Zhu Clan is just a decoration? If I don't kill this fool today, I'm not worthy of being a father!"
"Men, immediately bring Yao Yue back for me. I want him to die in front of my son!" Zhu Mohai roared to the outside.
Although the Minister of Works was the weakest of the Six Ministries, he was still a second-rank official. Naturally, he did not lack guards in his residence.
In the Fang Clan, Fang Ruogang was also looking at his crippled son. His face was filled with anger, but he did not completely lose his mind.
"That brat from the Yao clan is half-dead, that brat from the Zhu clan has his limbs crippled, and my son's legs are broken. Little prince, on the other hand, is fine. Looks like that little bastard is fearless!
No matter what, he can forget about leaving after injuring my son! "Fang Ruogang muttered to himself while clenching his fists.
