Chapter 81: Wrath
Early this morning, for the first time ever, the main gate of the Ninth Prince's Mansion was opened.
When the King of Qi got better, he began to deal with the affairs of his fiefdom. Officials from Sucheng and surrounding areas heard the news and there was an endless stream of carriages heading to the King's mansion.
Lu Yunyang gave Jiang Jiu a holiday and did not let her serve him. Jiang Jiu finally had some free time to walk around the yard and catch butterflies.
The sun was shining brightly, and Jiang Jiu was admiring the exquisite garden scenery in the Ninth Prince's Mansion when Mudan came running over in a hurry.
"Hurry, go see what's going on. The prince and the princess are arguing."
When Jiang Jiu arrived at the prince's yard, it was already surrounded by three layers of guards inside and three layers of guards outside.
Jiang Jiu glanced at the maids and guards in the mansion and smiled speechlessly: "Are you all free? You have been caught by the housekeeper, and he is going to punish you again."
The maids pointed forward, Jiang Jiu looked carefully and didn't know what to say.
The palace's housekeeper, Uncle Gui, was actually standing at the forefront of the crowd.
The Prince of Qi, with a gloomy face, stopped the sedan chair of Princess Qiyang.
"Qi Yang, where have you been these three days? Do you know that I haven't had a good sleep for three days and three nights because of you? If something happens to you, how can I explain it to my aunt?"
Princess Qi Yang was lying in the sedan chair, unable to get out, clutching her cloak tightly with guilt.
"Cousin, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired and want to rest."
As everyone knows, Princess Qi Yang might be the fiancée of Prince Qi. This trip to Suzhou was said to be to visit Prince Qi, but in fact it was also intended to cultivate feelings.
One is the daughter of the eldest princess, and the other is the emperor's younger brother. They are cousins, very close relatives.
However, the King of Qi was not someone who could be easily fooled.
"You don't even have the basic etiquette to meet me? Get out of here."
Princess Qiyang stayed on Master Yiyun's boat for three days and three nights. As everyone knows, King Qi has no regard for his reputation.
Probably knowing that they had gone too far, Princess Qi Yang's sedan chair landed on the ground, and two strong maids pushed the maid aside, went in, and pulled her out.
I have to say, she looked like a completely destroyed flower at this moment.
His hair was disheveled, he was swaying, his eyes were blurry, and there was an abnormal blush on his face.
"cousin……"
Anyone who has experience in human affairs will know what's going on with her at a glance.
Jiang Jiu was a virgin, but he still felt something was wrong when looking at her.
"Has she been drugged?"
Mudan blushed and whispered to her, "The incense on Master Yiyun's flower boat has aphrodisiac ingredients, just like the ones in the Flower House."
Jiang Jiu opened his mouth in surprise and exclaimed: "Ah, so she has been here for three days. Did someone do something to her?"
Mudan's face turned even redder: "Then it's no wonder that the prince is angry. His head has turned into green grass."
But it is unbelievable that Prince Qi tried Princess Qiyang in front of so many people for such a private matter. He must have been hiding something.
When Prince Qi saw Princess Qi Yang's expression, he became so angry that his face turned blue.
"Someone, bring that man here to me..."
Princess Qi Yang leaned on the nanny, drowsy.
At this time, a young man in white with dishevelled hair was seen being pushed up by the guards of King Qi.
"I asked you to go out for fun, and you said you were going to worship Guanyin... but it turns out you were going to go with him... Qi Yang, Qi Yang, you really don't take me seriously."
As he spoke, the King of Qi drew out a sword and stabbed the young man in white.
Then Princess Qi Yang shouted: "No..."
The white-clothed young man was pierced in the chest by King Qi's sword and fell to the ground.
Princess Qi Yang also fainted with a scream due to the death of the young man in white.
The Prince of Qi assassinated the young master in white, and everyone shouted in shock: "Is Young Master Yiyun dead?"
"What a pity! He is such a handsome man..."
"There's nothing we can do. Who told him to be so shameless as to hook up with Princess Qiyang?"
"She is the princess. Can Master Yiyun resist her orders?"
Everyone felt sorry for Master Yiyun.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Princess Qi Yang suddenly came to her senses and angrily accused Prince Qi.
"You, you actually killed him. This princess has only been attracted to him, and you..."
Princess Qiyang was too coquettish and actually drew out the sword of the guard next to her and was about to stab Prince Qi.
Fortunately, the guards around him reacted quickly and took the sword for King Qi.
Princess Qiyang stamped her feet in anger: "Zhao Zhuoxi, give me back Master Yiyun..."
Seeing the young man in white being dragged away like a dead dog, Princess Qiyang became extremely anxious. Prince Qi waved his hand and the guards knocked her out and sent her back to the sedan chair.

The storm gradually calmed down.
But Jiang Jiu knew that another disturbance would soon spread to the capital.
This dynasty was actually quite open.
It was only then that Jiang Jiu realized that women could not only do business, but also establish their own household, and more importantly, have lovers.
The eldest princess has several male lovers around her.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Princess Qi Yang was attracted by her beauty.
The only thing to blame is that her behavior was before marriage, which meant she was unfaithful to the King of Qi. Moreover, there were rumors that the King of Qi was in poor health. Even if Qi Yang couldn't hold back, he should at least wait until she and the King of Qi got married.
Her behavior directly proved that the King of Qi was unfit.
It is the most humiliating thing for a man to be rejected by a woman.
Lu Yunyang took advantage of Princess Qiyang's lust and planned this farce. Not only did he successfully cancel the marriage, but it also indirectly reflected that his health was indeed not good and even Princess Qiyang looked down on him.
However, this matter is not over yet, Qi Yang’s bullying of Jiang Jiu is not over yet.
Two days later, Princess Qi Yang disappeared, and her personal maid was also missing. The guards she brought with her said that she might have gone to look for Master Yi Yun's body and give him a grand burial.
The King of Qi immediately sent people to look for him, but when they found him, Qi Yang was not only covered with wounds, but his lower body was also badly damaged.
Princess Qiyang's personal bodyguard died in apology.
It turned out that he found Princess Qi Yang among the beggars in the ruined temple.
The head of Qiyang County ran away in anger. The beggars didn't know that she was a high-ranking princess, so they touched her all over and insulted her at will. Even her personal maid was insulted to death.
When the guards arrived, they could only rescue the dying Qi Yang.
The guards were so angry that they killed all the beggars.
King Qi said nothing but blocked the news and ordered someone to treat Qi Yang.
Such explosive news spread to the capital city again like a gust of wind.
So there was news that Princess Qiyang was bewitched by a young eunuch and fell out with King Qi, who angrily killed the young eunuch. The princess was obsessed with finding a corpse to bury but accidentally went into a wasteland and was insulted by a beggar.
The King of Qi was so angry that he fell seriously ill.
Wave after wave of news reached the capital.
At this point, Jiang Jiu's revenge was achieved, and the marriage between Prince Qi and Princess Qi Yang was also called off.
Princess Qi Yang was recuperating in Prince Qi's mansion, and the sky in Sucheng was clear again.
However, the treasure that Lord Qiyang is looking for has not been found yet.
In the evening of that day, Jiang Jiu was working hard on embroidering a sachet in the yard when Nanny Qian came back from outside.
"Miss, I have asked the old shopkeepers. They do have a treasure that they have only used once. It is said to be very powerful. It seems to be buried in the flowerbed of the old courtyard."
