The Tenth Prince's Residence.
The Eighth Prince rushed up to the Tenth Prince and shouted at him.
"Are you crazy?"
He never expected that when people are down on their luck, even this sickly fellow would dare to challenge him.
He's in trouble now, but the Tenth Prince wanting to climb over him is just dreaming.
If you don't gain anything for yourself, you shouldn't even think about living.
After his anger subsided, he tried to suppress the rage in his heart. It wasn't time for him to die yet; he wanted to do something for himself before he died.
Since things have already come to this point, what else is there for him to fear? At worst, he'll just die.
Thinking of this, all the anger in her heart was vented on the Tenth Prince.
He kicked the tenth prince repeatedly.
Seeing the tenth prince lying on the ground unable to get up, he grabbed him with both hands and threw him to the ground again.
The tenth prince finally stopped responding, while the eighth prince screamed and rushed to the tenth prince's side, staring intently at the seemingly dead tenth prince.
Just then, seeing the tenth prince's eyelid twitch, he kicked him again.
"You damned bastard, why don't you just die?"
Unexpectedly, perhaps the Tenth Prince was just too lucky. Even though he was beaten beyond recognition, he was still able to speak, saying slowly and deliberately, "Eighth Brother, you look so pitiful."
"You're asking for death!" The Eighth Prince was enraged and kicked again.
The tenth prince coughed up blood and struggled to his feet, leaning against the wall.
The Eighth Prince was even angrier when he saw this, and kicked him again.
The tenth prince was kicked to the ground again. This time, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get up. Just as the eighth prince was about to go over and kick him again, an arrow suddenly flew towards him.
If the Eighth Prince hadn't dodged in time, the arrow might have already struck his calf.
Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked around, but there was no one in sight. He shouted like a madman, "Who's there? Show yourself!"
"Eighth Prince, you're quite capable!"
As the voice appeared, a person dressed in a royal blue robe appeared immediately afterward.
As I walked, my arms swung naturally, and I noticed an orchid on my right sleeve.
People from the West Depot.
The Eighth Prince narrowed his eyes instantly upon seeing the newcomer.
It's him!
Song Ji, the deputy commander of the Western Depot.
He rose to the position of deputy commander of the Western Depot in less than six months.
What is the purpose of coming to the Tenth Prince's residence at this moment?
At this moment, the Eighth Prince showed no sign of panic.
The people in the Western Depot were essentially the emperor's hands.
The appearance of the Western Depot was the Emperor's intention.
They have been secretly dealing with people who shouldn't exist for the Emperor. What is this person's purpose?
Are they here to kill the tenth prince?
Thinking about this, he wondered if he should be credited for serving the emperor first.
"Lord Song, what brings you here?" The Eighth Prince wanted to curry favor, but deliberately acted arrogantly as he approached Song Ji.
Suddenly, a gust of wind from a fist struck, aiming directly at the Eighth Prince's chest.
Caught off guard, the Eighth Prince felt his blood rush to his head; he had been injured by the eunuch's internal force.
The Eighth Prince almost choked, but after catching his breath, he poked Song Ji's nose.
"You...you..."
But he couldn't say anything more.
Song Ji's palm strike was very forceful, and the Eighth Prince was caught off guard.
The Eighth Prince was furious that a cunning servant dared to lay a hand on him.
Now, he could no longer control the anger on his face.
He clutched his chest, staring intently at Song Ji, his usually cold face now betraying a murderous intent.
Song Ji looked at the Eighth Prince as if he were a dead man.
Seeing the outstretched hand, he didn't stand still either. Before long, the two were fighting. Song Ji's martial arts skills were much higher than the Eighth Prince's. While attacking the Eighth Prince, he also kept talking, "Eighth Prince, some debts owed must be repaid one by one!"
......
The capital city is becoming very busy everywhere.
Some people are busy choosing presentable gifts, while others are busy preparing for the banquet again and again, worried that something might go wrong.
Many people are still wondering how the Prime Minister's residence could allow Qiao Yuchen, a second-rank official, to live there, as this is clearly against the rules.
However, at this time, the Seventh Prince, who was at the height of his power, pleaded with the Emperor, and the Emperor granted his request.
It's clear that this is against the rules, and it's all true.
Despite having countless impossible ideas in their minds, they still brought gifts to the Prime Minister's residence.
No, it should be the General's Mansion.
It's unbelievable that two generals' mansions exist in such a vast city as the capital, and that they even belong to the same family.
Now all the officials, big and small, in the capital know that Qiao Yuchen is a favorite of the Emperor, and everyone is eager to come to him.
Those who receive an invitation will swagger in with gifts.
Those who didn't receive an invitation could only lament that their social standing was too low to be accepted into such a prestigious household.
In an instant, the entire general's mansion, inside and out, became extremely lively.
Qiao Yuchen was surrounded by a crowd, chatting and laughing together.
Chen Siyuan skillfully entertained the many guests.
Today, she is serving as the hostess, entertaining the female guests who have arrived.
Many women who saw Chen Siyuan felt a pang of sadness in their hearts.
Privately, some people started gossiping.
A woman from a small town has managed to get to where she is today.
First, she was bestowed the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady by the Emperor. Later, she was summoned by the Emperor several times and even drank wine bestowed by the Emperor. Such honors all fell on one woman. She truly performed the drama of a sparrow turning into a phoenix to the fullest extent.
Chen Siyuan had been busy, and as the time was almost up and she still hadn't seen anyone, she started to get anxious.
Not long ago, I received a letter from my maternal grandparents saying that they were too busy today and wouldn't be coming over to cause any trouble.
In fact, Chen Siyuan knew in her heart that her maternal grandparents were both from business families, and they might be looked at differently by others in front of these high-ranking officials. It would be better to invite them another day.
They are all important family members to me, and I will not tolerate anyone using defamatory language or looking at me with disrespect.
Chen Siyuan felt conflicted at that moment. She wanted to show her grandmother and grandfather that she was doing really well, but she also didn't want them to suffer.
Today, there are some exceptions: General Qiao and his wife.
That day, Qiao Yuchen suddenly brought her here. It was too busy here, and she didn't even have a chance to go back.
Later, Chunping was specially sent to deliver the message to Madam Qiao.
I don't know if they'll be able to come today.
Knowing that Chen Siyuan had not played a good role in this matter and had failed to persuade Qiao Yuchen to move out of the General's Mansion, it was her fault.
That's why she was worried when she didn't see General Qiao and Madam Qiao, even though the banquet was about to begin.
I kept asking myself, will they come?
