Married for only half a year, the newly eighteen-year-old Qi Su became a young widow, and a notorious one at that. Delicate and alluring, her beauty was a double-edged sword, one that ultimately hu...
"The weather isn't even that hot, so why is Your Highness so angry? Why don't you come in for a couple of drinks? It'll be my treat."
King Huai stared at them with a sinister look in his eyes, which were mostly white.
Who do you think you are?
Prince Xiao Heng of Qin leaned against the railing of the tavern with both hands.
He looked down at the viewer with the air of a refined and elegant young nobleman.
Even when he was insulted, he still smiled and didn't get angry.
“I am nothing, Your Highness is the real thing. If you are such a good thing, then don’t block the way. Look, half of Vermilion Bird Avenue is blocked.”
King Huai narrowed his eyes.
"You, surnamed Xiao, dare to insult me?"
Xiao Heng cried out in pain.
"Your Highness, you have wronged me. How dare I scold you? I admire you more than anything."
His interruption led to a scene near the shops on Zhuque Street.
More and more people gathered.
One was on the street, and the other was upstairs.
Speaking loudly, his voice was naturally quite loud.
In the blink of an eye, everyone knew that the burly man who was stopping the carriage and shouting was none other than the current Prince Huai.
King Huai, your reputation is now quite renowned in the capital due to a series of rumors.
King Huai was surrounded by onlookers, his face dark and gloomy.
His palms were in excruciating pain, and his expression became increasingly ferocious.
"All irrelevant people, get out of my way! Anyone who dares to get in my way, I'll skin you alive!"
After saying that, he used his large hands to lift the carriage again.
Xiao Heng asked curiously:
"Huh? Who exactly is in this carriage? Why are they so determined to fight Prince Huai to the death?"
Not far away, someone shouted something.
"The princess of Qishan is inside the carriage. It is unknown what the purpose of the Prince Huai's act of stopping the carriage in the street and taking revenge on a weak woman."
What? The Princess Consort of Qishan?
The surrounding people's expressions changed.
Previously, the disappearance of Princess Qishan had caused a great stir in the streets and alleys, with everyone saying that she had been kidnapped by Prince Huai.
However, the missing Princess Qishan was not found in the dungeon of King Huai that day.
Rumors have been circulating again.
The princess had already been secretly taken away by the Embroidered Robe Envoy.
Otherwise, if everyone saw it, wouldn't the newlywed King of Qishan lose all face?
The reliability of this claim lies in the fact that it occurred immediately after the discovery of King Huai's dungeon.
Princess Qishan, who had been missing for several days, was found and brought back.
Upon hearing that he was unwell, he even sought out many doctors to visit the Prince's residence for treatment.
This King Huai is truly arrogant.
The previous dungeon case, involving more than seventy victims, has not yet been adjudicated.
The imperial court has been dragging its feet, and there is still no conclusion.
Shouldn't King Huai be keeping to himself at home and reflecting on his mistakes at this time?
He was incredibly audacious.
He actually committed another crime in the street.
In fact, King Huai has always acted in this way.
He had clashed with people in public countless times before, but back then, he was the mighty War God of the Great Yan.
No one dared to challenge a prince.
Those who were determined to fight back were dragged into the dungeon and were already half-dead.
…
Xiao Heng raised her voice and said, "Your Highness, let's talk this out. Don't make things difficult for a weak woman."
People were talking about it on the long street.
Even a prince of the current dynasty would be enough to incite public anger.
King Huai was already enraged by the excruciating pain in his palm.
Xiao Heng's words were tantamount to fanning the flames.
Without even glancing at him, he stepped forward and began to tear at the guard.
"Get out of here—"
The King of Qishan was already pitiful enough, and now his queen is being humiliated in the street like this.
Someone shouted.
This is outrageous!
Then, a tattered shoe flew from a tricky angle through the crowd and landed squarely on King Huai's head.
This shoe is like the first drop of rain that hits the ground.
What followed was a torrential downpour.
Eggs, green vegetables, and a half-eaten chicken butt.
They all fell from the sky, crashing down on King Huai.
This is outrageous! Are you rebels trying to start a rebellion?
King Huai raised his fist, which was as big as a bowl.
He dragged two of the nearest civilians over and beat them up.
This only added fuel to the fire.
"King Huai has killed someone in the street! King Huai has killed someone in the street!"
The entire Suzaku Street was like a boiling oil pot, setting the sky above Ganjing ablaze.
…
Amidst the chaos and turmoil of war.
Xiao Heng whispered a few words to his confidant.
With the long street crowded and everyone's attention focused on Prince Huai.
Several guards carefully led the carriage that was trapped inside the Qishan Prince's Mansion out of the palace.
“My master said that the princess had been frightened. He specially dispatched us to escort her back to the manor.”
This guy is a cunning devil.
They do know how to use the situation to their advantage.
Qi Su lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside.
From the railing outside the tavern, the dashing and debonair Prince of Qin bowed to her from afar.
Is this the "chosen one" chosen by Yun Wuyi?
At least it looks clean and tidy.
They were much more pleasing to the eye than Wei Zhao's litter of princes.
.
King Huai committed violence in the streets, which incited a mutiny among the people.
The news reached the palace.
The emperor only then learned that Princess Qishan's carriage had been stopped by Prince Huai as soon as it left the palace gates and reached Zhuque Avenue.
King Huai wanted to kill the Queen Consort of Qishan in the street.
This sparked a popular uprising.
This time, the emperor smashed all the writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones on his desk.
Within two hours, an imperial decree arrived from the palace.
King Huai imprisoned him in Zhaoyu Prison.
The Ministry of Justice, the Court of Judicial Review, and the Censorate were ordered to conduct a joint trial, with absolutely no favoritism shown.
…
Qi Su's carriage had not yet arrived home.
Yun Wuyi had already heard the news and personally rode over to greet him.
"Your Highness."
The coachman and guards outside the carriage bowed in greeting.
The carriage curtain was lifted.
The maidservant lowered her eyes and quickly got out of the carriage.
Dressed in official robes, the young prince, as aloof as a willow branch or pine branch, boarded the carriage.
Qi Su felt her face tighten under his dark gaze.
He spread his hands and laughed, "What? Do you want me to rush into your arms and sob a few times?"
Yun Wuyi frowned slightly.
Are you alright?
Qi Su clapped her hands.
Not a single hair is missing.
Yun Wuyi's dark eyes fell on her, but he remained silent.
Inside the car, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.
Qi Su: "How about you throw yourself into my arms and cry a little?"
Yun Wuyi remained silent.
Qi Su tilted her head to look at him, and suddenly asked suspiciously:
"Are you imagining something weird?"
Yun Wuyi sat upright, his eyes deep and somber.
She pursed her lips and remained silent.
Qi Su: "This has nothing to do with you. Who would have thought that Prince Huai would be so insane? But it doesn't matter, no matter how crazy he is, he can't escape my grasp. I'm about to chop his claws off!"
Yun Wuyi lowered his eyelashes.
"I should come and pick you up myself."
So that's why. Qi Su turned her head and looked at him for a moment.
She reached out and pinched his face.
He said in a domineering CEO tone, "Little thing, I won't allow you to have any more wild thoughts."
As she spoke, she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
Suddenly, someone outside the carriage chimed in curiously.
"What little thing?"
The carriage curtain was lifted, and Xiao Heng's face appeared outside the carriage.
A pair of bright, almond-shaped eyes stared intently at the two people inside the car.
With a whoosh, the kettle flew out.
It hit him squarely.
Xiao Heng screamed as she was hit.
"I knocked on the car door, I knocked on the car door and you didn't hear me!"
