Chapter 7: Teaching Princess Changle About Sex—What a Pair!  

Deep in the courtyard…

“What’s going on out there?”

Princess Changle looked at Su Yang as he returned, her face full of curiosity.

“Nothing serious,” he said with a casual smile. “Just a crazy guy causing trouble. I had someone teach him a lesson.”

Of course, he wasn’t about to tell her that he had just beaten the hell out of the Minister of Personnel’s son.

“But it sounded like someone screaming in pain…”

Changle frowned, unsure whether to believe him. She started toward the entrance, but before she could take a step, Su Yang blocked her path.

“Changle.”

He put a hand on her shoulder and gave her a knowing smile. “Your mother asked me to take care of you. She’s my sworn sister, after all. And since you’re not a kid anymore, I figured it’s time for a little… education.”

“Education?” She looked confused.

“Yeah. I’m talking about sex education. Wouldn’t want you getting tricked or taken advantage of in the future.”

“Sex education?” she echoed, her brows furrowing.

Su Yang nodded. “It’s all about your physical and mental well-being.”

Changle hesitated, then nodded reluctantly. “Fine, I’ll listen. But why do I have to take off my clothes?”

Su Yang grinned. “Makes it easier to explain, don’t you think?”

She glared at him. “You’re messing with me.”

“No way! I swear!” he said solemnly, but his hands had a mind of their own, reaching out toward that generous pair of—

…

News of Su Yang’s brutal public beatdown of Zhangsun Chong spread like wildfire, shaking all of Chang’an to its core.

At that moment, inside the Zhangsun estate…

“This is outrageous!”

Zhangsun Wuji’s face darkened as he looked at his son, lying on the bed, groaning in pain. His body trembled with fury.

Su Yang hadn’t held back at all.

According to the physician, Chong had more than a dozen broken ribs. He wouldn’t be getting out of bed for months.

“Dad…” Zhangsun Chong’s face twisted in pain as he looked up at him. “You have to get justice for me!”

Zhangsun Wuji didn’t respond. His expression was grim as he waved a hand, signaling the servants to tend to his son. Then, without another word, he turned and stormed out.

That very night, Zhangsun Wuji ordered his carriage to be prepared. He was heading straight to the palace to see the Emperor.

…

Meanwhile, deep within the Imperial Palace, in the Lijing Hall…

“That kid…”

Guan Yinbi sighed, rubbing her temples. “I remember him being a pretty well-behaved boy. When did he turn into such a troublemaker?”

Qing Yi, the maid standing beside her, pursed her lips but said nothing. She knew exactly why Su Yang had the guts to act so recklessly—it was all because of the Empress’s protection.

But now…

The Empress was known for being fair and impartial. Now that Su Yang had beaten Zhangsun Chong half to death, he was definitely in for some serious consequences.

Or so she thought.

The next moment, she was left completely dumbfounded.

“That boy has always been spoiled rotten,” Guan Yinbi muttered. “My brother coddled him too much. Maybe getting his ass kicked will finally teach him a lesson.”

Qing Yi’s jaw nearly dropped. The Empress wasn’t mad at Su Yang—she was blaming Zhangsun Chong instead?!

Of course, she also admitted that Su Yang had gone a little overboard. Breaking a dozen ribs was a bit excessive, after all.

With that in mind, she turned to Qing Yi. “Send a physician to the Grand Duke’s manor and bring some medicinal supplements as a gesture of goodwill.”

After Qing Yi left, Guan Yinbi let out a weary sigh. The outside world had always been skeptical about her decision to take in Su Yang, an orphan with no noble lineage, as her sworn brother.

Some even speculated that the Empress had taken him in for… improper reasons. That she wasn’t treating him as a brother, but rather grooming him as a personal plaything.

Utter nonsense.

She knew the real reason.

Once, Guan Yinbi had a dream where an immortal told her that Su Yang was the key to the Tang Dynasty’s prosperity. If she didn’t protect him, disaster would befall the empire.

And as a devout believer in fate, she had taken the dream to heart.

That was why she had done what she did.
