Lord Lu is in league with Prime Minister Feng, so he has always been hostile towards Su Qianqian.

He came specifically to His Majesty to complain.

"Your Majesty, Miss Su has broken Miss Murong's right arm."

Emperor Qi Jing was eating a small cake when he heard this and was so shocked that he almost choked on the mango pieces inside.

"What's the reason?"

Lord Lu did not want to reveal the truth about Murong Yan throwing the pot at Miss Su, and only said, "Perhaps Miss Su doesn't like Miss Murong."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing of Qi thought to himself that Miss Su was quite bold.

In the past, he hosted a banquet for the five great families to raise funds, but several of them refused to give him, the emperor, any face and could not be invited. However, he, the emperor, dared not do anything to the five great families.

As a result, Miss Su dislocated Miss Murong's arm simply because she didn't like it.

Miss Su acts even more capriciously than the emperor himself.

It seems that Miss Su is the most unrestrained person in the entire Great Qi Dynasty, even more unrestrained and reckless than the emperor himself.

He both admired and feared such a person.

Emperor Qi Jing felt that Miss Su had completely escaped the control of the court. If it weren't for the ongoing war in Huainan, and if it weren't for the Western Xia Empress's determination to protect the girl, he really wouldn't want her to continue living in the world.

I feel that the young girl is a more dangerous presence than the King of Huainan.

Lord Lu kept rambling on and on, hoping to get the Emperor to punish Su Qianqian.

"Your Majesty, Miss Su injured Murong Yan, which is tantamount to offending the Murong family! This puts the Murong family on the opposite side of the court. It is said that Murong Yan is the most favored young lady of the Murong family. Although she is born out of wedlock, she has been registered under the name of the mistress of the house and is now considered a legitimate daughter."

"Moreover, Miss Murong is the fiancée of the Seventh Prince of Nanyue. To be harmed in public is disrespectful to the Nanyue Kingdom. Your Majesty, I implore you to punish Miss Su severely."

It would be best to just behead Miss Su, so that Prime Minister Feng's worries would be completely gone.

Emperor Jing of Qi also wanted to punish him severely, but as the emperor, he couldn't be too simplistic in his considerations.

Therefore, Emperor Qi Jing was weighing the consequences of severely punishing Miss Su in his mind.

Killing her is impossible, but imprisoning her is also impossible. Last time, when Miss Su was imprisoned for one night, the Empress Dowager and Marquis Guiping kept him awake all night.

Lord Xue cautioned, "Your Majesty, please reconsider. The Empress of Western Xia has said that anyone who dares to harm Miss Su before her face is healed is an enemy of Western Xia."

Emperor Qi Jing thought to himself, "That's right, I only thought of the Empress Dowager and Marquis Guiping, and forgot about the Empress of Western Xia."

When the Western Xia Empress first arrived in the capital, the snake-controlling technique she used was truly terrifying. Countless snakes slithered in from all directions, almost scaring her and her ministers to death.

Even now, many venomous snakes still remain in the capital; the Qing Dynasty could not completely eradicate them.

Therefore, he cannot make a move against Miss Su now; he must wait until the Empress of Western Xia's face is healed.

"By imperial decree, Miss Su shall be confined to her room for one day to reflect on her actions."

Lord Lu hadn't expected that after all his efforts, His Majesty would treat Miss Su's matter so lightly, clearly indicating that he had no intention of punishing her.

Confinement for reflection is a ridiculous punishment! It's insignificant and won't cause any harm to Miss Su.

It seems he needs to think of other solutions.

Even such a lenient punishment still drew the dissatisfaction of Marquis Guiping.

Upon hearing His Majesty's decree, Marquis Guiping immediately rushed to reason with the emperor's nephew.

"Qian girl did nothing wrong. If Murong Yan hadn't smashed the bronze pot at Qian girl, threatening her life, how could Qian girl have possibly dislocated her arm?"

Emperor Qi Jing glanced at Lord Lu, a glance that held a profound meaning.

He blamed Lord Lu for concealing the truth. It turned out that Miss Su had a reason for dislocating Murong Yan's arm, and the reason was very plausible.

The young girl's life was threatened, so it's only natural for her to retaliate.

Marquis Guiping was stubborn and said, "Qian'er has done nothing wrong, yet you still punish her by making her stay in confinement for a whole day. She is a very busy person with many things to do. Do you know how much money Gu Ji makes in a day? Staying in confinement for a day will result in a huge loss. Besides, Qian'er even threw a backward arrow and brought glory to Da Qi."

Marquis Guiping was extremely satisfied with his future daughter-in-law, and thus made his decision.

"Since you've been unfair to Qian, then return the pure white search and rescue dog that Qian is raising. I'll go to the palace right now and bring the dog back. I can't let you get away with this for nothing."

Emperor Qi Jing was heartbroken. That dog was so beautiful and obedient, and he loved petting it. How could his uncle take the dog away from him?

If his dog is taken away, what will he pet when he's in a bad mood?

After finishing the small cake in two bites, Emperor Qi Jing hurriedly chased after Marquis Guiping and went out.

"Uncle, wait a minute, don't try to take my dog! I'll withdraw my order, okay?"

When Lady Guiping, the wife of Su Qianqian, heard about her confinement, she rushed to the waterside pavilion to comfort her.

"Qian girl, don't be afraid. Don't listen to the emperor. I'll go to the palace later and ask the Empress Dowager to have a good talk with his son."

Younger brother Su Xiaobao also said, "Sister, don't be afraid, I'll put you under house arrest for you."

Less than a hundred meters from the waterside pavilion, Madam Lu was threatening Su Qianqian's mother, Madam Gu.

Madam Lu and Lord Lu were of one mind. She deliberately said to Su Qianqian's mother, Madam Gu, "Your daughter is really bold. She has caused a great disaster by daring to break Miss Murong's arm. The Murong family is the head of the five great families. His Majesty will definitely cut off her head."

Gu was still as timid as ever, very afraid of trouble, trembling all over, but dared not fall down.

Because of her courageous maternal love, even though she was trembling with fear, she still had the old woman help her to Su Qianqian's side.

Upon seeing Su Qianqian, he rushed forward and hugged her tightly.

"Don't be afraid, little girl. Your Majesty is here. If you want to punish someone, punish me. Even if you have to behead someone, behead me."

The doctor is on site setting Murong Yan's bones.

Murong Yan's light-colored clothes were stained red with blood, which looked particularly frightening.

The Seventh Prince didn't come to care about her; instead, his eyes were burning with hatred, and he was staring at Su Qianqian with a look of utter loathing.

Murong Yan endured the excruciating pain in her arm while looking at Su Qianqian.

Unexpectedly, even after Su Qianqian caused such a huge disaster, her family still sided with her and didn't blame her at all.

All of Su Qianqian's family members surrounded her, caring for and protecting her.

Murong Yan felt extremely miserable when she thought about her situation. Her father, the head of the family, seemed to favor her since childhood, but in fact, he prioritized the family.

No one in her family truly cared for her.

Even the seventh prince, who always went along with her, only stood by her side because he believed the sorcerer said she was from another world and could bring good fortune.

But Su Qianqian's family members were all willing to risk their lives to protect her.

In terms of family relationships, she admits that she has lost completely.
