Chapter 125: Injustice

Suddenly, Pei Jinyu felt an inexplicable anger rising in his heart. The Imperial Concubine Ru actually wanted to give women to the King of Qin!

So, Pei Jinyu pouted her lips stubbornly and looked at the Duke's wife and said stubbornly: "Mother, if you don't let me go, then I will go on a hunger strike at home!"

When the Duke's wife heard her daughter's words, she held her forehead helplessly, with mixed feelings in her heart. Could it be that this bad fate was really unavoidable? Was her daughter really going to get involved in this mess of the royal family?

Although Xu Qingyan always said that the King of Qin was a good man, if one day the King of Qin really became the emperor, wouldn't he have three palaces and six courtyards? With Jin Yu's personality, how could she not be jealous and live well in the harem? As an old mother, she was really worried!

But now, Pei Jinyu actually threatened her with a hunger strike, so she had no choice but to agree: "Okay! Go... go... I'll let you go! But you have to stay away from the King of Qin, and look at other men more. There are more handsome men in the capital than just the King of Qin, so don't think about marrying into the royal family, otherwise you will be unhappy with having three wives and four concubines in the future."

The Duke's wife still held a glimmer of hope, hoping that Pei Jinyu would like someone else. At the same time, she also made plans in her mind that she would definitely take her to see other men. What if she liked someone else and no longer liked the King of Qin?

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Sixth Prince's birthday banquet, and the Duke's wife had already brought Xu Qingyan and the others to the Sixth Prince's Mansion.

The banquet in the mansion was divided into men and women, and Pei Jingchuan was already an outstanding person in the court, so as soon as Pei Jingchuan entered, he was pulled aside by some men to chat.

Xu Qingyan and Pei Jinyu had no choice but to follow the Duke's wife and go to the female relatives to make friends with some ladies. Perhaps because of the matter of the Third Prince's wife, this time when they came to the Sixth Prince's mansion to attend the banquet, they did not encounter any women coming up to make things difficult for them.

As soon as Pei Jinyu came in, she became a little absent-minded. The Duke's wife took her to meet the ladies of high-ranking families, but Pei Jinyu's eyes were always looking around the hall.

After a long while, she finally saw the person she wanted to see, King Qin who came late from outside the gate.

Pei Jinyu was delighted to see the King of Qin, and she didn't even notice that a smile appeared unconsciously at the corner of her mouth the moment she saw the King of Qin appear. However, this smile didn't last long, and suddenly fell.

The moment the King of Qin appeared at the door, many women looked at him.

The King of Qin had shed his former simplicity and awkwardness. He was wearing a purple brocade robe, a belt embroidered with gold threads around his waist, and a golden crown on his head. His sharp eyebrows and bright eyes made him look noble, instantly making the other men around him look dull.

King Qin glanced at the crowd calmly and soon saw Pei Jinyu, Xu Qingyan and the others. He nodded slightly at them and then walked in.

At this moment, Pei Jinyu suddenly noticed that opposite to the King of Qin, there was a charming woman walking towards him. She saw that the woman's face was so excited and rosy, but she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, and just as she was about to walk over, she saw that when the woman passed by the King of Qin, her body suddenly softened and she rushed towards him.

"Ah!" the woman screamed.

Pei Jinyu was originally angry that the woman tried to seduce the King of Qin and threw herself on him, but when he saw the woman lying on the ground eating dirt, his heart suddenly relaxed.

"Hahaha!" Pei Jinyu and Xu Qingyan couldn't help but laughed, because they just saw clearly that the woman clearly wanted to seduce the King of Qin, but they didn't expect that the King of Qin would be so straight and just dodged to the side, causing the woman to fall to the ground.

Xu Qingyan couldn't help but sigh in her heart: [King Qin, you are really a good man! I really didn't see it wrong! Facing such a woman's obvious embrace, he was able to dodge! If it were another man, he would have been holding the beauty in his arms long ago! ]

The woman who fell to the ground was in a state of embarrassment. She had never expected that the King of Qin would actually avoid her? How could the King of Qin not be able to show mercy to such a delicate woman?

Many people around were looking at her. The woman felt pain and embarrassment all over her body, but she was unwilling to lose this opportunity.

So, she mustered up her courage, looked up at the King of Qin with a painful expression, and begged in a gentle voice: "Your Highness, King of Qin, can you...can you help me up?"

She thought, she had already spoken, and so many people were watching. If the King of Qin refused, it would definitely make people think he was unkind and it would affect his image!

But who would have thought that the King of Qin didn't even look at her, but walked away mercilessly. The woman was speechless when she saw this.

Pei Jinyu was more and more satisfied with King Qin's performance. She couldn't help but want to go up and talk to King Qin, but before she took a step, she was blocked by someone.

"Crown Princess, you are so mean! It would be fine if you didn't help someone up when they fell, but why are you laughing at them here?" The Crown Princess, dressed in gorgeous pomegranate red clothes, was standing in front of them with an arrogant look, and her eyes were full of resentment when she looked at Xu Qingyan.

"Since the Crown Princess is so kind, why don't you go over and help her? Why are you standing here blocking our way?" Xu Qingyan said nonchalantly without any fear.

The Crown Princess looked unhappy when she heard this. She snorted coldly and said, "I am the Crown Princess, not a maid. Why do you want me to help you?"

"So what you mean is that I, the Crown Prince's consort, am a maid? I have to do what a maid does?" Xu Qingyan retorted.

"You..." The Crown Princess was stumped by Xu Qingyan's words.

"Crown Princess, you are blocking my way. Could you please move aside?" Pei Jinyu said coldly to the Crown Princess.

Ever since the last time she and the Third Prince's wife had caused trouble for Xu Qingyan, she had not had a good impression of the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess looked very unhappy after hearing what they said. She said, "Pei Jinyu, you have been led astray by your black-hearted sister-in-law. She is such a vicious person. There is no guarantee that she will not harm you in the future. I advise you to stay away from her."

"What's wrong with my sister-in-law? Crown Princess, please don't talk nonsense!" Pei Jinyu was not polite in response to the Crown Princess's unreasonable behavior.

Upon hearing this, the Crown Princess sneered and said, "The Third Prince's wife has already been killed by her, and she is still framing the Third Prince. Isn't this a black heart?"

"Framed? Crown Princess, are you sure this is a frame-up? That's solid evidence, a case tried by the Dali Temple. Are you standing up for the Third Prince's wife just because you used to be good friends with her? Crown Princess, are you questioning the ability of the Dali Temple, or are you questioning the Emperor's decision?" Pei Jinyu deliberately raised her voice.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that this Crown Princess was really brainless. The matter of the Third Prince's wife was a punishment imposed by the Emperor, and she actually dared to come here to complain.

Following Pei Jinyu's shout, many people around looked towards them.

Seeing this, Xu Qingyan added fuel to the fire and said, "Crown Princess, you care too much about the Third Prince and his friends! In the entire capital, you are the only one who thinks that the Third Prince and his friends are wronged. Do you care as much about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as you do about the Third Prince and his friends? When others talk about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you speak up for him and speak up for him?"
