Chapter 248: Emptying Prince Yong's Mansion
Although Ye Chutang's attention was on the exquisite glass lamp.
But when the man reached out his hand, she noticed it keenly.
Just as she was about to move aside, Qi Yanzhou let go of her hand and broke the man's hand.
The screams like a pig being slaughtered almost blew the roof off.
"ah!"
"Come here, kill him for me!"
"Doctor, find a doctor!"
"Send this bitch to my villa!"
As soon as the word "courtyard" came out, Ye Chutang knew that the man who screamed like a pig was not a simple person.
Qi Yanzhou knew Jizhou quite well and immediately guessed who the man was.
The prince of Yong, Zhao Sirui.
He ignored Zhao Sirui's anger and wailing and told Ye Chutang his identity.
Prince Yong was the younger brother of the late emperor.
As the name suggests, he is mediocre and unpopular. He was born to a palace maid and was once subjected to humiliation.
He was made king as soon as he came of age and came to the small city of Jizhou.
King Yong had no ambition. He stayed quietly in Jizhou City, did not deal with officials, and lived a peaceful life collecting taxes.
He had many wives and concubines, but because he had sustained an injury when he was a child, it was difficult for him to have children.
After having had countless concubines over the years, he only had two daughters and a son, Zhao Sirui, who came late in life.
Zhao Sirui was spoiled and acted tyrannically in Jizhou City, bullying both men and women.
His shouting called the servants who were guarding the door of the restaurant.
The shopkeeper of Lingxiao Tower was also called over.
The servant looked at the prince's severed hand and turned pale with fright, becoming panic-stricken.
They failed to protect the prince, the prince will definitely kill them!
Although the shopkeeper was also quite frightened, he remained relatively calm.
He quickly ordered the waiter, "Go and invite Doctor Jin over."
After the waiter left, he looked at the servants of Prince Yong's mansion.
"Hurry up and help the prince back to the box to rest."
The panicked servant came to his senses.
One person went up the stairs to help Zhao Sirui, one went back to Prince Yong's mansion to report the news, and the rest went to capture Qi Yanzhou and Ye Chutang.
The shopkeeper knew how much King Yong treasured his only son. Even though he knew Zhao Sirui deserved it, he did not dare to say a fair word on behalf of Qi Yanzhou who fought back.
Otherwise he would be the one who died!
A strong murderous intent emanated from Qi Yanzhou.
Before the servant rushed over, he grabbed Zhao Sirui's neck.
"If you don't want him to die, get out of here!"
The servant looked at Zhao Sirui, whose face was red from being pinched, and crawled down the stairs.
"Go call King Yong here. He doesn't know how to discipline his son, so I will do it for him!"
These words frightened the shopkeeper so much that he turned pale.
"Sir, please let go of the prince. Otherwise, not only will you be in trouble, but your family will also be implicated."
Qi Yanzhou curled his lips in a cold smile and took off the mask on his face.
"My head is right here, come and take it if you are brave enough!"
The moment the mask was taken off, many people recognized Qi Yanzhou.
There was a lot of discussion.
"The girl next to Master Qi must be Madam Qi. The prince is in trouble!"
"If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. You deserve it!"
"He has harmed so many good girls, he should have died long ago!"
"Jizhou City belongs to King Yong. Master Qi, do you have a chance of winning against him?"
"Master Qi is not even afraid of the emperor, so why would he be afraid of a mere king?"
When Zhao Sirui heard these words, he was so scared that he trembled all over.
He has always bullied the weak and feared the strong, and he is also afraid of death.
Thinking of the deposed prince who had his head chopped off by Qi Yanzhou, he felt a chill on his neck and his body shook even more violently.
As he trembled, a foul-smelling liquid dripped from his gorgeous clothes.
"Oh my god, the prince is so scared!"
"I thought he was fearless!"
"Eh, even if Master Qi doesn't do anything to him, the prince will be too embarrassed to go out in the future, right?"
Qi Yanzhou threw Zhao Sirui down the stairs in disgust.
"unlucky!"
Zhao Sirui was knocked unconscious from the fall, his injured hand was pressed down, and he screamed in pain.
The servant wanted to step forward, but was afraid to move because of Qi Yanzhou's murderous look.
At this time, Dr. Jin came with a medicine box.
He was the retired imperial physician from the palace and the most skilled doctor in Jizhou City.
Once, he took the pulse of Qi Yanzhou who was suffering from fire poison.
Doctor Jin bowed to Qi Yanzhou.
"Meet Master Qi."
Qi Yanzhou looked at the gray-haired Doctor Jin and greeted him, "Doctor Jin, long time no see."
He did not pay attention to the whereabouts of the imperial physician who had taken his pulse.
When I saw the person at this time, I recognized that it was an old friend.
"Seven years."
Doctor Jin didn't expect that Qi Yanzhou, who was poisoned by fire, could live so long!
After he took Qi Yanzhou's pulse, he concluded that he would not live more than three years.
Qi Yanzhou waved his hand to Doctor Jin, "No one here needs Doctor Jin's treatment, please go back."
Doctor Jin glanced at Zhao Sirui who was rolling on the ground, then turned around and left quickly.
Damn prince.
Scum!
Qi Yanzhou picked up Ye Chutang, avoided the water stains on the stairs, flew downstairs, and sat down at the square table next to Zhao Sirui.
"Boss, bring all the signature dishes, except the fish, and have them delivered to the upstairs box in two quarters of an hour."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
The shopkeeper didn't want to get involved in the feud between Qi Yanzhou and King Yong, so he went to the kitchen to give orders in person.
He also asked the waiter to bring the couple a pot of the best Biluochun tea.
Ye Chutang had just finished sipping a cup of tea when King Yong arrived with unsteady steps.
Perhaps it was because of excessive indulgence, he, who was less than sixty years old, looked like an old man, with a hunched body and cloudy and dull eyes.
Zhao Sirui looked at the late King Yong and complained angrily, "If you come any later, you will be sending your son to die!"
Before King Yong even got close to his miserable son, he smelled a strong odor of urine.
He covered his mouth and nose in disgust, "Whoever peed, throw it out!"
These words made Zhao Sirui feel ashamed and he broke down crying.
"Get lost! I don't want you to save me!"
When King Yong got closer, he saw that his son not only had a bruised face and nose, but also a broken hand and his clothes were wet.
He didn't expect that his son, whom he was afraid would melt in his mouth, would be hurt and humiliated in this way.
If someone else bullied his son, he would cut the person into pieces.
But it happened to be Qi Yanzhou.
Someone he couldn't afford to offend!
King Yong walked up to Qi Yanzhou, wanting to turn hostility into friendship.
Ye Chutang spoke before him and asked, "Where is Prince Yong's Mansion?"
It’s been a while since I’ve “restocked” my space. This is a rare opportunity and I can’t miss it!
King Yong was confused by the question.
But he still told the truth about the location of Prince Yong's Mansion.
"Thank you very much."
Ye Chutang thanked him with a smile and looked at Qi Yanzhou.
"You go ahead and do your work. I'll wait for you in the box."
Qi Yanzhou also didn't want Ye Chutang and the baby in her belly to see the bloody scene.
He nodded and handed the glazed magpie lamp to Ye Chutang.
"Go ahead."
After Ye Chutang went to the box, he left through the window and went to Prince Yong's Mansion.
Prince Yong’s Palace is located in the west of Jizhou City.
Originally it was a courtyard with three entrances, but after King Yong had a son, he changed it into a large courtyard with four entrances.
Today is the Qiqiao Festival, and the princess has graciously allowed Prince Yong and the Crown Prince's wives and concubines to go out for a stroll.
More than fifty women went out, taking with them many maids and servants.
After the servants returned home to report that Zhao Sirui was in trouble, King Yong took away half of the guards and the servants who knew martial arts.
At this moment, except for the mistress's courtyard, the entire Prince Yong's Mansion seemed very deserted.
Zhao Sirui was born to a concubine, but only the legitimate son could inherit the title.
King Yong ordered his concubine to be executed and adopted his only son as the princess.
Princess Yong treated him as her own son and loved him for more than 20 years. She was extremely anxious at this moment.
"Why did I have to offend Qi Yanzhou?"
The personal maid blamed all the fault on Qi Yanzhou and Ye Chutang.
"Princess, if Madam Qi hadn't been wearing a mask, the prince wouldn't have recognized her and wouldn't have been so frivolous with her."
As she said this, she snorted coldly.
"She's already married, but she's still showing off. I think she's doing it on purpose!"
Princess Yong was so angry that she threw the teacup on the ground.
"Bitch! If Rui'er gets into trouble, they won't be able to leave Jizhou City in one piece!"
The personal maid hurriedly stroked Princess Yong's back to help her calm down.
"Princess, please don't get too angry. I've said something inappropriate, so let the prince admit his bad luck. After all, the Qi family doesn't even take the emperor seriously, and the deposed prince was beheaded!"
When Ye Chutang heard this outside the house, he was sure that the maid who spoke was a spy planted in Prince Yong's mansion.
Princess Yong has never been bullied by anyone since she married into the palace and has a spoiled personality.
When I get older, I become more self-centered.
"My son is much more noble than the crown prince. The entire Jizhou City belongs to Prince Yong's Mansion!"
But the world does not belong to the deposed prince!
Ye Chutang almost laughed at Princess Yong's words.
How ignorant must this person be to say such a thing?
Being so stupid, it is against the will of heaven that the Yong Palace doesn't perish!
She left the mistress's courtyard and toured all the courtyards in Prince Yong's mansion.
Jizhou City is small, and King Yong does not receive much tax every year.
Ye Chutang didn't find much valuable stuff.
Most of them were ordinary head ornaments and jewelry for women, and the total value of the silver notes was less than five thousand taels.
I thought there were good stuff in the warehouse, but it turned out to be just some junk.
However, Zhao Sirui's room is full of treasures.
From large items like golden nanmu beds to small items like mutton-fat white jade lamps, all are worth a fortune.
Although the study is just a decoration, it contains many precious books and four treasures of the study.
Ye Chutang looted almost the entire yard.
Then I went to the Matron's House.
Instigated by her personal maid, Princess Yong set off for the prefectural government.
This made it convenient for Ye Chutang to empty the yard.
Although the things in the Matron's Courtyard are not as exquisite as those in the Prince's Courtyard, they are not bad either, and there are large quantities of them.
The mediocre king was only interested in sex and did not covet luxury.
Plus, he doesn't care about money, so there aren't many good things in the yard.
"It's tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw it away."
Ye Chutang muttered something, picked out some and put them into the space.
Then he returned the same way and entered the box through the window.
It took her nearly two quarters of an hour to go there and back.
As soon as we sat down at the table, the waiter started serving the food.
Five dishes and one soup, all delicious and tasty.
"Madam Qi, is there anything else you need?"
Ye Chutang was a little thirsty and asked, "Do you have iced sour plum soup?"
Sour plum soup is a favorite of women in summer. Not only restaurants but even teahouses will have some of it.
"Yes, I'll go get it right away."
Ye Chutang stopped the waiter who was about to leave, "How's it going downstairs?"
"King Yong asked the Crown Prince to kneel down and apologize to Master Qi, but the Crown Prince refused, so his legs were crippled.
Master Qi's actions angered King Yong, who asked his servants to invite the prefect.
The prefect came alone, hoping to resolve the conflict, but Princess Yong interfered and a fight broke out. ”
"Tell Qi Yanzhou to make a quick decision, or the food will get cold."
Waiter: “…”
"Yes, Madam Qi."
He left the box and went downstairs, gritted his teeth and conveyed Ye Chutang's words to Qi Yanzhou.
Then, under the murderous looks of Prince Yong and Princess Yong, he went to the kitchen to get sour plum soup.
Qi Yanzhou was still sitting at the table, his foot on Zhao Sirui's heart, looking at King Yong with a raised eyebrow.
"My wife is urging me, what do you think we should do, Your Majesty?"
King Yong did not dare to offend Qi Yanzhou, nor could he lose face, so he was caught in a dilemma.
Princess Yong only had her humiliated son in her eyes, and she shouted angrily, "Come here, capture Qi Yanzhou for me!"
She just didn't believe that the entire Jizhou City's military force could not do anything to the exiled Qi family!
But the palace guards did not move.
It’s not that he was afraid of Qi Yanzhou, but King Yong didn’t speak.
The princess only has the right to manage the inner house.
The prince is the one who calls the shots.
When Qi Yanzhou thought of Ye Chutang waiting for him, his eyes were filled with impatience.
"My Lord, speak!"
As he spoke, he increased the force of his footsteps.
Zhao Sirui screamed in pain and spoke incoherently.
"Mother... my child is... about to die, please save... save me..."
Princess Yong looked at Zhao Sirui with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and her eyes turned red with heartache.
"Don't be afraid, Rui'er. Mother won't let anything happen to you."
After saying that, she fell to her knees.
"Master Qi, Rui'er is blind and has flirted with Madam Qi, so he deserves to be punished.
It's the son's fault, it's the mother's fault. If you are angry, come to me. Please let Rui'er go. ”
When the prefect saw that Princess Yong had finally given in, he quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Master Qi, the prince has already been punished, and the prince and princess have apologized. Why not make a big deal out of it?"
Qi Yanzhou looked coldly at Princess Yong who was forced to submit, "This matter is not over yet."
After saying that, he got up and went upstairs.
Princess Yong immediately stood up and ran to Zhao Sirui, not knowing where to put her hands for fear of hurting him.
"Rui'er, how are you?"
"Mother, it hurts!"
After Zhao Sirui finished speaking, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
"Someone, go get the doctor!"
King Yong looked at Qi Yanzhou's back as he left, thinking about what he had just said, his face as pale as paper.
He had a feeling that the good days were coming to an end!
Thinking of this, he came to Princess Yong and kicked her to the ground.
"Stupid woman!"
If it weren't for this idiot interfering, he and Qi Yanzhou wouldn't have been in such a big fight.
Princess Yong's elbow was scraped, but she had no time to care.
She asked Prince Yong, "My Lord, what did Qi Yanzhou mean by what he said just now?"
Could he dare to destroy Prince Yong's Mansion?
King Yong took a deep breath and raised his hand to rub his solar plexus.
"You stay here and watch over Rui'er. When the doctor comes, I will have some business talk with Lord Kong."
Qi Yanzhou clearly would not give up, and he couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
Princess Yong nodded and said, "Your Highness, please go. I will take good care of Rui'er."
Kong Zhizhou originally did not want to get involved in the feud between Prince Yong and Qi Yanzhou, fearing that he would not please both sides.
But now he wants to get involved to the end.
Because Qi Yanzhou wanted to get rid of King Yong!
Thinking of this, he bowed respectfully to King Yong.
"Your Majesty, how about calling Governor Liu and General Zhang to go to the prefectural government to discuss this in detail?"
King Yong thought so too.
"Send someone to inform them, we will go to the prefectural government first."
