In the yard, a crowd of people knelt down in an instant, crying out in pain.
Xu Jinghuai looked at him coldly, not moved at all. Years of fighting had made him a heart of stone.
Let him go? That's impossible. This high-profile move is not only for Yan Yunshu, but also for his own big plan. He wants to lure the snake out of its hole.
Besides, he was right this time.
"They ignored me, hurling foul language in my presence without restraint! Since you don't discipline your children properly, I will do it for you this time. I'll take them back in ten days. If they do it again, I won't discipline them again. I'll just eliminate this evil for my Great Tianze!"
As he spoke, Xu Jinghuai drew out the sword in his hand and smiled coldly.
Everyone was so frightened that they dared not even breathe. He was indeed the mad prince!
"Ministers, please go back. This is how I've always been. Just get used to it."
Everyone left.
On the way back to the palace, the ministers beat their chests and stamped their feet.
"Do you think this Second Prince is decent? If he can ascend to the throne of Crown Prince, it would be a real rebellion against the Heavenly Gang!"
"As expected, he's stubborn. It seems we were right to support the Crown Prince!"
"Not only is he unyielding, but he's also arrogant, ruthless, and bloodthirsty. Does he look like someone who can manage a country?"
"I used to hear that although the Second Prince was cold-blooded and ruthless, he was actually a man who could manipulate people and adapt to changes. Now I finally see what he meant by manipulating people and adapting to changes. I think he's not only cold-blooded and ruthless, but also stubborn and inflexible! He's unfit for this important task!"
The Minister of the Central Secretariat, who had lost two children, frowned, "That's wrong. I think His Highness the Second Prince has actually excluded us from his sphere of influence and put us on the opposite side of his side. His handling of this matter seems simple and ruthless, but in fact, it is full of strangeness."
"What do you mean?"
"Have you ever seen His Highness the Second Prince so disregarding the dignity of his ministers? He has always been indifferent to worldly affairs, but now he's making a scene over a few quarrels among the children."
"The Prime Minister's daughter, Yan Yunshu, is his childhood friend and also his future princess consort. It's not impossible for him to stand up for her! Prime Minister Yan, don't you agree?"
"That being said, putting aside the fact that His Highness is a homosexual, even if he isn't, do you really think His Highness the Second Prince would offend us so much for a woman?"
The six ministers were silent.
Coincidentally, the six of them all happened to be members of the eldest prince's party. It was obvious at first, but now being targeted by the second prince, it was really tough.
The six ministers went their separate ways and returned to their respective residences, agreeing to come to the eldest prince's residence soon to discuss and decide on important matters.
The Ministry of Justice compound.
The conference room was deserted, with only Xu Jinghuai and Yan Yunshu sitting there.
On the table between the two of them was the complaint written by Yan Yunshu.
"What do you want to do? Invite Yan Shuyao's maid to the Ministry of Justice for tea? If that maid can betray her master..."
"Xu Jinghuai, you underestimated Yan Shuyao. She is not that easy to deal with. That maid will definitely not confess anything. She will only take all the blame on herself."
"How can you be sure?"
"Believe it or not, Xu Jinghuai, maybe you think I'm crazy, but I'm telling you, Yan Shuyao is a ghost from another world. She can confuse people's minds and control their behavior. She can even restore her face, which is now swollen like a pig's head, to normal at any time!!! Xu Jinghuai! Do you understand? This is why I'm not sure if I can maintain my current rationality. Maybe one day..."
Xu Jinghuai was speechless for a long time.
"Yan Yunshu, I believe you."
Yan Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief. "This time, I'm not trying to prove her guilt. I just want to use this incident to tell the world that she's not an ordinary person. Her face was poisoned by such a dangerous, incurable poison, and yet it healed overnight. I'm sure some will say she's a goddess, but there will also be those who say she's a demon. Whether it's a ghost or a god, people will admire her, but they will also always be feared, right?"
"I understand that the imperial power fears ghosts and gods, but what about this luck?" Xu Jinghuai frowned.
"Xu Jinghuai, don't underestimate her." Yan Yunshu looked at Xu Jinghuai mysteriously, "She can eat people's luck! Be careful, she will target you."
"impossible."
"If you are targeted someday, Xu Jinghuai, let's exchange a secret signal first. Wink at me twice, long, and once short."
"Come, learn from me." Yan Yunshu pretended to blink twice, long and once short.
Xu Jinghuai actually started to learn from him.
Yan Yunshu looked at Xu Jinghuai's serious face, covered her stomach, and laughed out loud.
"Yan Yunshu! Be serious!"
Yan Yunshu laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. "I'm sorry, Xu Jinghuai. I just think the way you blinked is so silly! Oh my God! How can you be so stupid!"
Xu Jinghuai had a stern face and a chill running down his face.
Yan Yunshu finally stopped laughing and he looked at her.
"Have you laughed enough?"
“Enough is enough!”
"Walk."
After Xu Jinghuai finished speaking, he stood up on his own.
"Where are you going?"
Xu Jinghuai took the bamboo hat handed over by the guard and said, "Listen to the opera and have dinner."
Only then did Yan Yunshu realize that it was noon.
She put on her cloak and hat, covered half of her face with the veil hanging around her ears again, and followed Xu Jinghuai out of the house.
When they arrived at the opera venue, Yan Yunshu was convinced that Xu Jinghuai was a homosexual. It turned out that the rumors were true. Xu Jinghuai loved to listen to opera, and he loved to listen to opera at Qingyunfang.
There were many young prostitutes coming and going here. Some were cool and handsome, while others were gorgeous and beautiful. Yan Yunshu was stunned by what she saw.
