No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right? - Chapter 231 - The Emperor Is Not To Be Insulted! What? He's My Sister's Child?

In the Heart Calming Hall.

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty seemed extremely solemn.

He was reprimanding Princess Xu Yang for leaving the palace without permission.

Princess Xu Yang also hung her head low, not daring to say anything.

“Father, how could I have known that the Heavenly Fiend Cult would target me? Besides, how did the Heavenly Fiend Cult know about my itinerary?”

Princess Xu Yang lowered her head. Although she was being reprimanded, she still felt rather unconvinced.

“Who should they target if not you? Only you would dare to leave the palace without permission.”

“Now that the demonic cults have been revived, the Heavenly Fiend Cult, Fiendcelestial Cult, Ancient Fiend Cult, and True Fiend Cult have all emerged and the various dynasties are investigating this matter.”

“At this juncture, you still have the guts to leave the palace without permission. You’re really bold. The Great Qian Dynasty Palace might be impermeable but two may keep counsel, putting one away.”

“Since your whereabouts have been exposed, there’s obviously a snitch in the palace. You’re lucky enough they were overly eager. If you had gone further away from the city, you’d have been dead.”

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty said with a sullen expression.

However, at this point, he couldn’t help but be curious.

“I heard that you were rescued by an expert previously. Where is he now?”

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty asked.

When Su Changyu was mentioned, Princess Xu Yang immediately felt more energized.

However, before she could speak, she heard someone crying outside.

“Grandpa!”

“Grandpa, I got beaten up.”

The familiar voice was mixed with a cry of misery and devastation.

In an instant, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was a little curious.

Even Princess Xu Yang couldn’t help but be surprised.

At this moment, Fang Li had already appeared in the hall.

As he got closer and closer, his cries also got louder and louder.

Soon, Fang Li wiped his tears and walked into the hall while bawling loudly. He didn’t act like the grandson of an emperor at all and seemed to be extremely aggrieved.

“Fang Li, what’s wrong with you?”

Seeing that Fang Li was in such a miserable state, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty felt his heart ache and he hurriedly walked over to look at Fang Li, his eyes full of curiosity and some sadness.

When Princess Xu Yang saw that, she looked extremely curious too.

Fang Li was a little tyrant of the Great Qian Dynasty whom no one dared to provoke. Not only did he have a noble status, he was also favored by the royals.

Be it his father or the empress, or even many concubines in the palace, they were all very fond of Fang Li.

It was not only because Fang Li was pleasant-looking, but mainly because he was very pretentious in front of the adults and had a glib tongue despite being so young.

Naturally, he gained the favor of the older generation and everyone adored him greatly.

That was also the reason that Fang Li was unruly and arrogant. Although he was just a child, he was extremely haughty and tyrannical.

Hence, many princesses and princes in the Great Qian Dynasty palace disliked Fang Li, but no matter what, he was the grandson of the emperor and given how young he was, they gave in to him as much as they could.

However, they didn’t expect there to be someone who dared to provoke him, the little tyrant.

‘Is there such an insensitive guy in the Great Qian Dynasty?’

In the Great Qian Dynasty, the last person one should offend was Fang Li.

Back then, the Crown Prince whipped Fang Li a few times with the whip but ended up being hung on the tree and beaten up badly by his father. That served as a declaration to the entire Great Qian Dynasty that Fang Li was more important to the emperor than the Crown Prince.

Hence, Princess Xu Yang was full of curiosity.

At this moment, Fang Li, who walked into the main hall, started sobbing when he saw the emperor.

“Grandpa, someone bullied me.”

Fang Li leaped into the arms of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty and wept in agony. Those who were unaware might think that Fang Li had fled back from somewhere.

However, after taking a close look, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty realized that Fang Li’s clothes were a little messy, and in particular, his face was red and swollen.

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was furious.

He usually wouldn’t bear to even scold his precious grandson, and yet he got beaten up.

‘This is outrageous.’

“Fang Li, who hurt you? Is it your incompetent father? Or your mother?”

“If it is your father, I’ll go avenge you right now.”

“Fang Li, you didn’t go to disturb your grandma while she was praying, did you?”

“If you’ve offended her, don’t blame me for not helping you.”

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty suppressed his anger while asking Fang Li that question.

What he meant was simple. If it was Fang Li’s father, he would stand up for him, but if it was the empress, there was nothing he could do.

Everyone knew how henpecked the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was, so if his grandson offended her, he could forget about revenge.

Princess Xu Yang, who was standing in the hall, could not help but be annoyed yet amused after hearing his words.

She was annoyed that her brother, the esteemed Crown Prince, would get beaten up by the emperor every now and then.

She was amused by how henpecked the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was even though he had such a prestigious position. However, that was normal too. After all, there had always been great freedom in the Great Qian Dynasty and there was no patriarchy. Besides, being henpecked was just a relationship issue between a married couple.

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty naturally had a say in the major matters.

However, Princess Xu Yang took great pity on her brother.

He was clearly the Crown Prince and the future emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty. Yet, he was having it the worst in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Even the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty would at most be reprimanded verbally for his mistakes.

The Great Qian Dynasty was the best of the five dynasties, and yet what happened?

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty suppressed the Crown Prince greatly, causing him to be overwhelmed. However, the Crown Prince’s son was pampered and favored by the emperor.

‘The Crown Prince is so pitiful.’

“Grandpa, it’s not my father, but an outsider whom Aunt Xu Yang brought to the palace. His name is Su Changyu!”

Fang Li sobbed while talking. While tears rolled down his cheeks incessantly, he pointed at Princess Xu Yang.

A voice sounded.

Princess Xu Yang was immediately stunned.

“Su Changyu? Senior Su?”

Princess Xu Yang was astonished.

She never expected the person who hit Fang Li to be her benefactor, Su Changyu.

“Fang Li, are you spouting nonsense? How can Senior Su possibly bully you when you’re just a child?”

“Besides, Senior Su was with Xu Jin. With Xu Jin around, he would definitely have stopped Senior Su.”

Princess Xu Yang immediately explained.

She thought that Fang Li was just babbling nonsense, but even then, it was impossible that he would know Su Changyu’s name.

However, Princess Xu Yang felt that there must have been some misunderstanding.

She immediately spoke up to prevent a conflict.

“It’s Su Changyu. Su Changyu.”

“There’s no misunderstanding. Grandpa, I was guarding outside Zhaixin Hall to prevent anyone from disturbing Grandma.”

“I ended up discovering that Su Changyu tried to charge into the Zhaixin Hall and I wanted to stop him but he seems to have a backer. He beat me up before I even revealed my identity.”

Fang Li sounded extremely impatient.

‘There definitely isn’t any misunderstanding in this.’

“He’s really brazen.”

After hearing Fang Li’s words, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty couldn’t help but fly into a rage.

If the person Fang Li offended wasn’t the empress, everything could be settled easily.

“Father, there must be some kind of misunderstanding. Fang Li is usually snobbish and lofty. Besides, Senior Su is not a member of the palace, so he naturally isn’t aware of the rules. He may have offended your grandson but he’s my life savior.”

Princess Xu Yang hurriedly said. She was really agitated and was frantically trying to explain something to the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.

However, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty seemed rather indifferent.

“Misunderstanding?”

“Even if there is a misunderstanding, he shouldn’t have hit someone.”

“His name is Su Changyu, huh?”

“How dare he hurt the Great Qian Dynasty Emperor’s grandson?”

“Xu Yang, even though he saved your life, you must remember that the emperor cannot be insulted.”

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty’s voice was cold and merciless.

That made Princess Xu Yang’s face turn extremely pale.

She knew that her father was genuinely furious.

“Father, no matter what, Senior Su saved my life and if you punish him too severely, it will affect the reputation of our nation if word about it gets out. Why don’t you just ask Senior Su to apologize to Fang Li?”

Princess Xu Yang knelt on the ground. That was the best she could do to help Su Changyu.

“Apologize?”

“Xu Yang, you are still too capricious.”

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty took a deep breath.

He remained silent and then led Fang Li out of the hall.

In fact, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty understood what Xu Yang meant.

However, he was also aware of another thing.

That was, the royals were not to be insulted.

Even if Fang Li had done something wrong, no one was to lay their hands on him.

To put it bluntly, Su Changyu might have beaten his grandson up this time, but what if he injured him badly another day?

What if Su Changyu hit the emperor too?

The practice of martial arts in private was prohibited in the palace and the same rules applied even to the princes. If they wanted to fight, they would have to go to the ring in the palace. Fighting in private was a huge taboo.

Besides, Su Changyu was an outsider.

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty took Fang Li and left.

Princess Xu Yang got up in a hurry. She chased after them because she knew that Su Changyu was going to be in huge trouble this time.

She was anxious and angry.

She was anxious about how her father would deal with Su Changyu.

She was furious that Xu Jin failed to keep an eye on Su Changyu.

If Xu Jin had been there, this would not have happened.

“Someone, summon the White Feather Imperial Guards.”

Outside the main hall.

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty spoke coldly.

He was so furious that he summoned the White Feather Imperial Guards.

In fact, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was not upset about the fact that Fang Li got beaten up, but because someone actually had the audacity to beat up his grandson.

It was great defiance.

At the same time, it was also partly because his grandson had been bullied.

His precious grandson.

Soon, the sounds of footsteps filled the air.

They were the Great Qian Dynasty’s White Feather Imperial Guards.

One by one, they appeared outside the main hall and knelt down in front of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.

“Long Live, Your Majesty.”

The austere voices of the White Feather Imperial Guards filled the air.

However, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty did not say anything else. He simply turned around and walked towards the Zhaixin Hall.

Fang Li followed after him.

The White Feather Imperial Guards didn’t say anything more and simply followed the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty to the Zhaixin Hall.

At this moment, Princess Xu Yang tagged along too. She knew that no matter how she tried to dissuade him, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty would definitely take revenge for Fang Li.

She had to solve the trouble now.

Hence, she had to please and flatter Fang Li.

“Fang Li, aren’t you particularly fond of the colorful coral that I have in my place? How about I give them to you and you go put in a good word in front of your grandpa?”

Princess Xu Yang pulled Fang Li and said via a voice transmission.

However, Fang Li did not even look at her. At this moment, his eyes were full of anger and hatred.

All he could think about now was taking revenge.

He didn’t care about anything else.

The thought of Su Changyu weeping and shrieking miserably in front of him made Fang Li overjoyed.

‘Hahahaha’

‘Heehehehe!’

Fang Li was extremely agitated, wishing that time would pass faster.

“Fang Li, do you know what you’re doing? You are being unkind to me. Fang Li, be good and I’ll give you lots of benefits.”

Princess Xu Yang continued to persuade him.

“Aunt, if you treat me as a nephew, don’t interfere in this matter. If you don’t treat me as your nephew, all the more you shouldn’t interfere.”

“In short, I will never give up on this matter and Su Changyu is dead meat. Even an immortal can’t save him.”

Fang Li sent a voice transmission. His attitude was very firm.

After Princess Xu Yang heard these words, she couldn’t help but look annoyed.

‘Fang Li is so full of resentment at such a young age, what’s going to happen to him when he grows up?’

However, Princess Xu Yang knew that Fang Li’s personality was that terrible because her father had spoiled him.

Unfortunately, no one in the entire Great Qian Dynasty could deal with Fang Li.

“I have no choice but to go to Brother.”

At this moment, Princess Xu Yang knew that there was nothing she could do, and so she left immediately to look for Fang Li’s father, the Crown Prince of the dynasty, who was also her elder brother.

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, who was walking in front, naturally also realized that Princess Xu Yang had gone missing.

He understood what she wanted to do.

However, there was nothing he could do to stop her.

In fact, he hoped that Princess Xu Yang would rescue Su Changyu.

Hence, Xu Yang was right.

After all, Su Changyu had saved the life of the princess of the Great Qian Dynasty and while he could punish him, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty could not blow things up. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to their reputation.

However, Su Changyu had to be punished since he had hit the grandson of the emperor. The emperor had to intervene to show his might.

‘The royals are not to be insulted!’

Just like that.

In less than 15 minutes.

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty came outside the Zhaixin Hall.

He did not barge inside, because the empress was praying and he would be in huge trouble if he disturbed her out of nowhere.

However, outside the Zhaixin Hall.

There were 400 to 500 White Feather Imperial Guards who were already surrounding the Zhaixin Hall.

“Where is Su Changyu?”

At the next moment, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty spoke up.

His voice was calm.

There were no emotions.

Fang Li, who had heard his voice, was in an even better mood.

His expectation of revenge also soared to the peak.

‘Oh, Su Changyu.’

‘I shall see what happens to you.’

‘I’ll show you what the grandson of the emperor is like and what it is to be surprised.

Fang Li was so excited that his face started trembling.

However, at this moment, Chu Rouyun was stunned.

Her footsteps were quick and she seemed a little agitated.

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was slightly surprised.

Before he could say anything, Chu Rouyun spoke up.

“Your Majesty, what do you want to see Changyu for?”

Chu Rouyun looked at the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, her eyes full of curiosity.

“He bullied Fang Li, I want to seek justice for him.”

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was also a little curious.

‘Why does Rouyun know about Su Changyu too?’

‘Who is this Su Changyu?’

“Bullied Fang Li?”

Chu Rouyun got even more curious while Fang Li, who was at the side, immediately felt aggrieved. He tried to play the sympathy card.

However, to his surprise, his grandmother actually didn’t show him any concern and merely looked at the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.

“There’s no need for that. Changyu isn’t at fault. Your Majesty, I have something to tell you.”

Chu Rouyun didn’t even look at Fang Li. She just wanted to talk to the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty about Su Changyu.

However, the latter couldn’t help but frown.

“I’ll decide if he’s at fault or not. Get him to come here.”

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was furious.

Although he was henpecked, he was naturally in charge of some matters.

“Your Majesty, Changyu is right, listen to me.”

The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty wanted to continue speaking.

However, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty interrupted her.

“The royals are not to be insulted!”

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty revealed his intentions.

“Your Majesty.”

Chu Rouyun wanted to explain.

“The royals are not to be insulted!”

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was enraged.

He looked at Chu Rouyun.

He wondered if he had overindulged the empress.

‘She thinks I’m a small fry, huh?’

However, after Fang Li, who was at the side, saw that scene, he was exhilarated.

When he heard Chu Rouyun say that Su Changyu was not at fault, he thought that his grandmother wanted to help Su Changyu.

However, after seeing how blunt and straightforward his grandfather was, how could he not be pleased?

‘Grandpa, you’re so manly.’

At this moment, Fang Li respected the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty even more.

He could also sense his kind intentions.

Chu Rouyun’s face turned sullen immediately and sent a voice transmission.

“Your Majesty, do you know who Changyu is?”

The empress of the Great Qian Dynasty asked.

“The royals are not to be insulted!”

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty repeated again after hearing the voice transmission.

He was really enraged.

He was furious.

At this moment, he somehow felt that he had really given in to Chu Rouyun too much in the past.

She actually repeatedly obstructed him in front of so many imperial guards.

Most importantly, his grandson had been bullied, and yet, she was helping an outsider instead of her grandson.

Who was he?

‘Is he a lost son of the royals?’

‘Even if he’s my illegitimate son, so what?’

‘Empress…’

‘You’re too disappointing.’

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty had an extremely cold gaze.

At this moment, he had already made up his mind.

He had to punish Su Changyu.

It was not only for Fang Li, but also because of Chu Rouyun’s attitude towards him.

He was the emperor.

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Who would dare to disobey him?

Whose status was higher than his?

Sensing the anger of the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, the empress, Chu Rouyun, didn’t say anything else.

She continued to send him a voice transmission in a contemptuous tone.

“Sure, since Your Majesty wants to punish your sister’s son, who’s your biological nephew, I have nothing more to say. I hope you won’t feel guilty towards Princess Changling.”

Chu Rouyun said.

That was a voice transmission sent using divine senses.

Others couldn’t hear her.

“Imperial guards, listen up…”

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty humphed coldly.

He subconsciously raised his hand and told the imperial guards to arrest Su Changyu.

However, in an instant, he snapped back to his senses.

He froze on the spot and stared at the empress in shock.

At this moment, he even forgot to breathe.
