Chapter 1187: Chapter 1186: I am Covered by Someone_1 Chapter 1187: Chapter 1186: I am Covered by Someone_1 “Uh… probably, the bone would crack?” Qiao Xiaomai struggled with a pair of clear peach blossom eyes, her little face full of innocence, “She hit me first. You didn’t see how hard her slap was; if it had landed on me…”
“If it had landed, you would definitely be like that Zhao family girl, not only with a crooked face but also with teeth falling out, right?” Yang Wenxiao interrupted her.
Qiao Xiaomai, “…Yes.”
She had struck Zhao Lan with the intent to do real harm; Zhao Lan’s face was likely still not healed by now.
Seeing that she had caused trouble and was now acting obedient, Yang Wenxiao snorted, lifted his finger, and poked her, “So capable, so impressive.”
At his words, Qiao Xiaomai blinked and sat up straight like a kindergarten child, placing her hands on her knees and opening her mouth with an obedient expression, “What I did was self-defense. So what if she’s a princess? Since she’s come to Daqi, she should follow the rules of our Daqi.”
“Putting aside my status as the wife of a graduate scholar, just take you, for example. Now, who in the Capital City doesn’t know that I earn my living under you? I even said I was the chef who cooks for you and His Majesty, but she still raised her hand to slap me.”
“Your Highness, the beating wasn’t aimed at me; it was a slap to your and His Majesty’s face!”
“Our glorious Daqi, the iron-blooded empire you founded by your own hand, the Heavenly Empire, how can she, a princess from a barbarian country, act so wildly here!”
Compared to Daqi, those small countries around are barbarian states. The Divine Tree Tribe is just a tribe; they haven’t even established a country.
However, Ailiusha’s manners and upbringing are much better than Princess Qinglian’s from Yuchi Country. With such behavior, Qiao Xiaomai categorized Princess Qinglian in her mind as “educated but still with the habits of a savage” kind of barbarian.
Hearing this, Yang Wenxiao raised an eyebrow, “What face or lack thereof, our Daqi always values the law, governed by law. Let’s judge it as self-defense then.”
The Yang Family, as part of the Royal Family, was above the “Daqi Law” and could have privileges.
But Princess Qinglian, a princess from a barbarian country, she did not have this honor.
“I’ve sent the Imperial Doctor to see how her injury is.” Yang Wenxiao said and had Gao Lian personally go to the palace to check on Princess Qinglian’s injuries.
After giving instructions, he brought the conversation back, “Where did you get such strength?”
“Desperation, I get desperate and my hidden strength comes out. To be clear, it’s like fighting with all my might.” Qiao Xiaomai started blabbing again.
“Fighting with all your might?” Yang Wenxiao was puzzled.
Qiao Xiaomai nodded vigorously, “Fighting with all my might. I’ve suffered too much and been too repressed before. Now I’m used to giving it my all at any confrontation so as not to be bullied, which is good.”
Yang Wenxiao, “…That’s very good.”
He smiled and stretched out his hand to poke Qiao Xiaomai again, “Go have a look at Princess Ailiusha’s injuries.”
Qiao Xiaomai promptly agreed and stood up to go to the inner hall.
Princess Ailiusha was not seriously injured; she was struck by a slap from Qinglian, which hurt her internal organs, but it wasn’t severe, and she would recover after taking a few doses of medicine.
“How did you provoke her? Does she bully you often?” Qiao Xiaomai asked.
At that, Ailiusha gave a bitter smile, “She calls me a thief every time she sees me, and today she even went out of her way to come to my Courtyard. I can’t beat her.”
“So arrogant,” Qiao Xiaomai raised her hand to touch her chin.
“She has Yuchi Country backing her, and I’m just a princess without any real power, so naturally, she bullies me however she wants. But you, you hit her today; she won’t let this go easily,” Ailiusha said, a worried look on her face, “You better not leave the Palace for a while.”
