Pei Yu: "What a coincidence! I'm going too. Let's go together!"
Prince Xin's lips twitched. He was the one who was beaten, so why should he complain?
The next second, when he heard what Pei Yu said, his vision went dark.
"I have already said before His Majesty that I will never take a concubine in this life, and that I will only take Princess Hui'an, but you sent me a woman. You are asking me to deceive the emperor. I will tell the emperor."
Pei Yu said this and strode out. Even Prince Xin was stunned by his shamelessness. No, why was this guy turning the tables?
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Prince Xin ran out to chase Pei Yu, but his legs were not as long as Pei Yu's. When he reached the gate of the mansion, Pei Yu had already galloped away.
"Pei Yu, you..."
He didn't have time to say the rest of the words. He quickly found his horse, turned around and spurred it to chase Pei Yu.
When did this person become so childish?
Didn't he just want to disgust him? He actually wanted to go to the palace to file a complaint!
Imperial Study
Xie Yunci was very curious when he heard that Pei Yu had returned.
"Xuan."
"Plop~"
As soon as Pei Yu entered, he knelt down smoothly with a thud. He didn't say a word, just knelt on the ground.
Xie Yunci's mouth twitched, "My dear, who has offended you?"
"Your Majesty, this humble servant... begs for an audience!"
At this time, the sound of Prince Xin's hoarse voice came from outside, and it was wheezing like a broken bellows.
I suddenly felt a headache. Why did these two people start arguing with each other again?
He waved his hand and said to the eunuch guarding the door, "Let him in."
As soon as Prince Xin entered, he saw Pei Yu kneeling there. His face immediately turned black and he also knelt down to pay his respects. Xie Yunci asked him to stand up, but he refused.
When he saw Prince Xin, Xie Yunci couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Why was his face so swollen?
His face was swollen like a pig's head, and it was covered with bruises. It was simply unbearable to look at.
Xie Yunci's headache was gone now. He pointed a finger at his chin and looked at the two of them with interest.
"Tell me, why are you two here together?"
Prince Xin moved his lips a few times but still couldn't say anything. When he lowered his head, he glared at Pei Yu fiercely.
"Pei Aiqing, you speak first."
Neither of them spoke, so Xie Yunci had to speak and call for people.
"Your Majesty, I want to sue Prince Xin. He wants me to be charged with deceiving the emperor."
Xie Yunci looked at Prince Xin and said, "Now it's your turn. Pei Aiqing has already said it, so now explain to me what crime of deceiving the emperor you want him to commit."
Prince Xin: "This matter is a bit hard to explain. I suddenly got a dancer and wanted to give it to Prince Jingnan, but he turned against me."
As he spoke, an expression of grievance immediately appeared on his face. "Your Majesty, I am wronged! I have good intentions, and it would be fine if Prince Jingnan didn't appreciate it, but he actually filed a complaint with the Emperor!"
"Your Majesty, are you going to make the decision for me?"
After listening to this, Xie Yunci had already guessed what was going on, but he still looked at Pei Yu.
"Lord Pei, Prince Xin had good luck, but why did it become so different when it came to you?"
Pei Yu stiffened his neck and said, "Your Majesty, I promised the Emperor at the Wanshou Festival banquet that I would only have Ah Li as my wife and would never take a concubine."
As he spoke, he pointed at Prince Xin beside him and said, "But he actually gave me a concubine. Isn't this making me commit the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
Xie Yunci: That was a promise I made to myself. It's obviously like Princess Hui'an, okay?
Forget it, he did say that to himself in front of everyone.
"Prince Xin, you can only do this kind of thing. You are putting Prince Jingnan in a state of disloyalty, unrighteousness, unfilial piety and unbrotherly love!"
Pei Yu: ...
Prince Xin prostrated himself on the ground and pleaded guilty, "Your Majesty, I am guilty."
He finally understood that Prince Jingnan was now the emperor's favorite. It was a mistake, a mistake.
Xie Yunci snorted coldly, "As a prince, you actually instigated others to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor. I will fine you two years' salary. Your face is an eyesore. Rest at home for half a month and think carefully about where you went wrong."
"I obey the decree!"
Xie Yunci looked at Pei Yu, his expression softening. "Lord Pei, I've already sent a letter to the king. If you're not satisfied, just give him a beating!"
King Xin:......
No, his face is covered with bruises, can’t the emperor see it?
"I dare not. The Emperor has already punished Prince Xin for me. Thank you for your grace."
"Well, if that's the case, then you'll be punished for two months. After all, Prince Xin is still a prince, how can you slap him in the face!"
"I obey the decree."
You can’t hit the face, but that means you can hit other places.
Pei Yu looked at Prince Xin who was standing beside him and smiled at him. "Prince Xin, I was too aggressive today. I will come to your house to apologize another day."
Prince Xin nodded, his face stern and silent. For some reason, he sensed a deep malice from Pei Yu.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has brought you some soup."
Xie Yunci waved at the two of them, "Alright, my two beloved ministers, please step aside."
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
Walking on the palace road, Prince Xin was so angry that he wanted to beat Pei Yu up, but his fighting power was not as high as Pei Yu's, so he could not beat him at all. He could only secretly give up this idea.
After enduring for a while, he could no longer bear it and said sarcastically: "I can't believe that Prince Jingnan would actually file a complaint."
Pei Yu followed his tone, “I can’t tell either. I didn’t expect Prince Xin to be such a person. Tsk tsk!”
Prince Xin was fine with the first sentence, but the last two words almost made him explode.
"No, what do you mean?"
Pei Yu walked quickly, and he ran after him, "Pei Yu, tell me clearly what you mean?"
At this time, many people had already walked out of the palace gate. Pei Yu had already mounted his horse and was looking at a carriage waiting outside the palace gate, with a slight smile on his lips.
He was in no hurry to leave, but stopped where he was and waited for Prince Xin to catch up.
"you……"
"Wei Huan, stop right there!"
Prince Xin's words seemed to be stuck in his throat and he turned his head stiffly.
"Hehe, Princess, why are you here?"
"How can you trouble the princess to make such a small trip for such a small matter? These servants are so ignorant."
When Princess Xin saw his bruised and swollen pig-like face, she was speechless for a moment, and then her face was filled with disappointment.
You clearly can't defeat King Jingnan, so why bother to provoke him?
Pei Yu galloped over and said, "Prince Xin, I am not worthy of the beauty you left in my house. Please take her back as soon as possible."
"What beauty?"
Prince Xin was trembling a little.
Pei Yu was puzzled. "Doesn't Princess Xin know? Prince Xin got this beauty from nowhere and actually sent her to me, saying he couldn't bring her back home. So, he reluctantly gave her to me."
"I thought Princess Xin knew, but I never thought you were unaware of it."
Pei Yu looked at Prince Xin with a strange expression, "Prince Xin, this is your fault. How could you hide this from Princess Xin?"
