Sheng Jingyu said, "No need. The Princess Consort is trying her best to clear my name. Why stop her?"
You can't clear your name with just one pig.
But the rumors aren't having much of an impact now. News keeps coming in the capital, and new things are always emerging. Eventually, his little matter will be completely forgotten.
Empress Yuan's intentions are likely to go beyond this; this is only the beginning.
Inside the post station.
The young prince was surrounded by a group of girls—massage girls, singers, dancers, and all sorts of other girls.
Several envoys stood behind her, looking helpless.
Empress Yuan was secretly angry, feeling that this crown prince was too outrageous, still not calming down even while lying in bed.
It was because of these girls that the thieves were able to sneak in, which led to him being beaten and having no memory of the incident.
Even the emperor couldn't afford to offend her, so Yuan Hou, a mere minister, was even less of a threat.
"Did you send a message to Princess Heyi?" Empress Yuan asked in a low voice.
Now, only Princess Heyi can control Prince Jin. Although Prince Jin is not convinced, he has no way to deal with him.
All the people brought this time obeyed Princess Heyi's orders.
If Princess Heyi were to truly anger him, she could employ some extreme methods to silence the Crown Prince.
"The message has been sent; they should be arriving soon!" The envoy eagerly awaited.
They've been here for a long time, wanting to discuss what to do next with Crown Prince Kim.
But Prince Jin wouldn't listen to a word they said.
No matter what he said, he wouldn't listen; he was determined to make Sheng Jingyu and Su Wenyuan pay the price.
He didn't care about the bilateral relations or the grand project of Qikong Nation.
Just then, Princess Heyi stormed in, and with a single order, drove all the miscellaneous people out of the room.
Hey! Don't go! I'm the prince!
"What are you doing? Listen to me, I am the Crown Prince."
No matter what the Crown Prince said, it was no use; those who were unwilling to leave were chased away by the guards.
Jin Kouhe immediately lost his temper and angrily asked, "Aren't you planning to return to Qikong Kingdom? Ever since I came out, I've been restricted in every way! I will definitely tell the Emperor when I get back."
Empress Yuan gently advised, "Your Highness, this is not Qikong Kingdom after all. Have you forgotten how you were beaten?"
"How dare you say that?" Prince Jin struggled to get up, but his body was heavy and he was injured, so he collapsed again before he could even stand up.
Princess Heyi glanced at him with disgust and said, "It was your stupid act that led to this. Why can't Lord Yuan say anything? How much trouble have you caused us?"
In their eyes, Prince Kim was just there to cause trouble.
"I brought you back because I, this princess, need a consort. Otherwise, how would you have had the chance to leave Qikong Kingdom?"
That's just too embarrassing!
Jin Kouhe retorted indignantly, "Do you think I wanted to come? I was beaten twice by Sheng Jingyu after I arrived, and you wouldn't even stand up for me. You even advised me to visit the Prince Chen's residence?"
Their biggest conflict right now is this: Prince Jin is determined to take revenge.
Empress Yuan agreed, asking him to be patient for the time being, as they had their own plans.
Jin Kouhe refused to tolerate it or cooperate with any of their plans.
I'm here today to talk about this matter again.
"Sheng Jingyu is Prince Chen. With that status, we can't touch him. Your Highness, as long as you listen to me, you will see his fate!" Empress Yuan solemnly promised.
Jin Kouhe's eyes darted around as he stammered, "I didn't see what happened to him, but I saw what happened to that lady from the Prime Minister's mansion. Blood mixed with bits of flesh flew everywhere."
Princess Heyi scoffed, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
Empress Yuan appeared even more helpless.
He didn't know who told the Crown Prince about what happened that day, but he didn't go to see it with his own eyes. However, after hearing some details, he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep well for several days.
"When you first met Su Wenyuan, you dared to say a few words about her. Now that you see her again, you can't be so scared that you hide away, can you?" Princess Heyi said sarcastically.
Prince Jin did not refute.
Empress Yuan gave Princess Heyi a wink, signaling her to be more discreet, as they were there to discuss Prince Jin's assistance.
Even if you don't help, don't target Sheng Jingyu and Su Wenyuan, as it will be detrimental to the rumors circulating outside.
Princess Heyi had no intention of keeping quiet, and said, "How about this, if you see those two again in the future, stay away from them and don't make sarcastic remarks all the time. If you really cause trouble, I may not be able to protect you."
"As long as you don't cause trouble, leave the rest to the adults. They won't let the crown prince of Qikong be bullied."
Using both soft and hard tactics, the Crown Prince's attitude was no longer as tough as before.
Princess Heyi offered him some more benefits, saying that she would no longer interfere with his search for girls, but he should tell the guards to check them before sending them over.
The Crown Prince was very satisfied with the result, and even said that he could help out if needed.
We were having a pleasant conversation when the pig arrived...
"The Princess is concerned about the Crown Prince's health and is worried that he might not be eating well, which could affect his recovery. So, she specially asked us to find the fattest one!"
"The princess also said that if the prince likes to eat it, just tell her. She has recently learned some pig-raising tips and is the best at feeding pigs. Those she has fed are all very healthy!"
The guard deliberately emphasized certain key words, making it sound like he was cursing.
Tell Jin Kouhe to like the food, then go find her again, and then say that she is the best at feeding pigs.
Earlier they said they found the fattest one, isn't that basically saying he's a pig?
Jin Kouhe's anger, which had just been suppressed, suddenly flared up again. Combined with Princess He Yi's earlier mockery, the young master Jin was now incredibly bold and wanted to storm into Prince Chen's residence.
He jumped up, his face flushed with anger.
Empress Yuan quickly pulled him back and said, "Your Highness, don't take it to heart. Princess Consort Chen meant well."
"I could tell from her voice that she was calling me a pig, and you still tell me you're being kind? Do you think I'm a pig too?" Prince Jin roared, shaking off Empress Yuan's arm and charging forward.
The guards quietly cut the ropes binding the pig, and the pig began to rampage. Everyone screamed in panic and then surrounded Princess Heyi.
Jin Kouhe was unprotected and was knocked down by a pig, landing on his back.
The people from Prince Chen's residence burst out laughing, showing absolutely no consideration for his feelings.
Su Wenyuan instructed that it would be better to make a big fuss.
If you want to distance yourself from the situation, you need to make a statement.
Prince Jin was so angry that he went mad and uttered a lot of foul language.
Princess Heyi hurriedly summoned her guards to catch the pig and ordered Jinkouhe to be taken away.
With both orders issued at once, Jin Kouhe became even angrier, feeling completely treated like a pig. He was so emotionally agitated that he fainted!
This made things even more chaotic.
The guards at the post station were quite happy; the unconscious Prince Jin was relatively easy to control, and a few people could carry him away.
If they're sober and cause too much trouble, they can't control them.
After the chaos subsided, Empress Yuan calmed down somewhat, thanked the guard, and personally escorted him out.
