He must be out of luck!

"Which family are you from?" The guards of Prince Yanbei's Mansion took a glance at the carriage but did not see any insignia.

"Ji Manor? Who is in the carriage?" The guard glanced in the direction where the carriage had come from. If he did not guess wrongly, this carriage had also come out from Princess Lane; however, the Grand Princess had not invited anyone from the Ji Family.

"So it's Second Miss Ji. All of you, wait a moment." The perpetrator was from the Princess Consort's family. The guards did not dare to say more, and could only ask Xiao Jiu'an for instructions.

"Second Miss Ji?" After discovering who was sitting in the carriage, Xiao Jiu'an could not help but sneer.

He had always held a grudge. He had always remembered the incident of Ji Yunkai being punished to kneel in the Imperial Palace. He could not make the Emperor kneel, but he could make the Emperor's woman do it for him.

"The Ji Family has such gall in refusing to even apologize after crashing into This King. Since the Ji Family does not see This King as anything, then This King does not need to give Imperial Advisor Ji any face. Someone come.. Go, invite Second Miss Ji."

"Yes, Your Highness!" When Baoqin and the others received the order, they immediately went forward to "invite" Ji Lan.

"No! No! Our Young Miss is not feeling well! Please be magnanimous. We will come knocking on your door and beg you for forgiveness."

The maidservants of the Ji Family naturally wanted to protect their master and refused to let Baoqin and the others near the carriage. But, with all of them combined, they were not Baoqin's match. In just a few moves, the maidservants of Ji Manor were dealt with by Baoqin and the rest.

"Second Miss Ji, please get off."

Inside the carriage, Ji Lan was weakly lying down. Her face was flushed and her eyes were like silk. With a single glance, one could tell that she had been doted on.

After becoming the Emporer's woman, she felt proud in her heart. When she heard Baoqin's words, she immediately said in an unsatisfied tone, "My body is not feeling well. Just tell Your Highness that today's matter is my fault and that I'll go apologize another day."

Wasn't it just running into Prince Yanbei's Mansion's carriage? It's not like they killed anyone. This Prince Yanbei was too stingy.

Wait, after she enters the Imperial Palace and becomes an imperial concubine, the first thing she would do was to deal with Prince Yanbei.

She had not forgotten about being chased out of Prince Yanbei's Mansion by Prince Yanbei. Ever since she was young, she had never been in such a sorry state. If she did not repay this account, then she would not be Ji Lan.

"Second Miss Ji, don't make things difficult for us." Baoqin did not listen to Ji Lan at all and asked again. Seeing that Ji Lan still did not get off the carriage, she decisively got on and "invited" Ji Lan out.

"What are you guys doing?" Ji Lan was forced down. The pain from between her legs almost made her cry out. She said angrily, "Do you know who I am? Hurry and let me go!"

These lowly maidservants... after she enters the palace, she must beat them all to death. Along with Ji Yunkai, that bitch, all the people from Prince Yanbei's Mansion deserved to die!

Xiao Jiu'an had already gone back to the carriage. After hearing Baoqin's words, he looked at Ji Yunkai, only to see her looking calm. She acted as though she did not know what was happening outside, and he could not help but shake his head.

This woman was truly intelligent.

"Your Highness, I was wrong today. I shouldn't have bumped into your carriage just because I was in a hurry. I hope that Your Highness can forgive me for the Emperor's sake." Although Ji Lan was apologizing, her attitude was remarkably haughty.

Xiao Jiu'an did not know where her confidence came from.

"Your sister is much stupider than you." Xiao Jiu'an completely ignored Ji Lan and remarked to Ji Yunkai instead.

If Ji Yunkai was as stupid as Ji Lan, she probably would not have lived past the wedding night.

"We don't have the same mother." Ji Yunkai said calmly, but her heart was filled with doubts.

What did Xiao Jiu'an want to do with Ji Lan? He could not be trying to find trouble with Ji Lan, right?

"Prince, quickly tell these lowly maidservants to let go of me. Otherwise, if the Emperor finds out, he definitely won't let them go." Seeing that Xiao Jiu'an did not speak for a long time, Ji Lan thought that he was afraid of the Emperor. She once again used the Emperor to pressure him.

"Too noisy, block her mouth!" Luckily for him, Ji Yunkai did not say much and her voice was not as unpleasant, unlike this Second Miss Ji. Otherwise, Ji Yunkai would have died a long time ago.

He did not understand what the Emperor was thinking.

Although he hated Ji Yunkai, he would not deny her excellence.

Didn't the Emperor always place importance on bloodlines? Didn't he always boast of having high standards? Why did he choose such a thing as his imperial concubine?

"Wuu... wuu... wuu..." Ji Lan was stunned as she stared at the carriage in disbelief.

She did not believe that Xiao Jiu'an would dare to touch her. Who was she? She was the Ji Manor's Second Young Miss, the Emperor's woman, and a future imperial concubine. Xiao Jiu'an dared to slap her face?

Was he not afraid of the Emperor making a decree to punish him?

Ji Lan did not dare believe it and struggled with all her might. However, she had just turned from a girl and into a woman and her body was aching and weak.

"Wuu... wuu..." Ji Lan could not break free, even after struggling for a while.

She had a bad premonition that Prince Yanbei would not give the Emperor any face and that it would not be good for her.

In the next second, her premonition came true!

"This King was struck, seriously injured, and This King's life was hanging by a thread. For the sake of the Emperor's face, let her kneel here for four hours." From inside the carriage, Xiao Jiu'an's voice came out.

"Wuu... wuu..." Ji Lan was about to go crazy. She stared at the carriage with wide eyes and continuously shook her head.

She did not! She did not injure Xiao Jiu'an. Xiao Jiu'an was just fine a moment ago. He's lying, he's... lying.

But, it was useless!

Baoqin would never give her the chance to escape. Once Xiao Jiu'an finished speaking, Baoqin had already forced her to her knees by the side of the road. Ji Lan naturally did not comply, and struggled to get up, but was violently suppressed by Baoqin, "No one has ever dared to go against the orders of our Prince and neither will you!"

"Wuu... wuu.." Ji Lan kneeled heavily on the ground, her tears falling from her eyes due to the pain.

How could things have turned out this way?

She was the Emperor's woman. How would Prince Yanbei dare to do this to her?

"Wuu... wuu.." Let me go... let me go.

Your Majesty, save me... save me..

Ji Lan continuously shook her head as she glared at Baoqin as if she wanted to eat her up. Baoqin did not feel pain nor an itch, and she did not care about Ji Lan's resistance at all.

"Let's go!" Through the window, Xiao Jiu'an looked at Ji Lan's incessant struggles, and the ridicule in his eyes grew even more intense.

What was the use of struggling at a time like this?

Rather than wasting her strength on struggling, it was better to think of ways to make herself kneel more comfortably.

However, a woman, that the Emperor had set his eyes on, probably did not know how to be flexible.

I hope that the Emperor can hurry over; otherwise, his beauty will keep kneeling and become crippled...
