Chapter 109: Killing People and Breaking Their Hearts

The eldest prince asked doubtfully, "Jiujiu, aren't you angry with your brother, the crown prince?"

"I'm not angry." Jiujiu said, "The deeper the love, the more severe the criticism. The prince brother is worried about Jiujiu, that's why he is like this. Moreover, Jiujiu also knows that the prince brother will not really hit me."

"He just pretended to be fierce to scare me. He's just a paper tiger."

The eldest prince: “…”

To be honest, he really hadn't thought about what Jiujiu said.

He simply saw that the prince was aggressive and wanted to beat Jiujiu, but he didn't expect the prince's hidden intention.

He is a little naive, not as smart as a child. No wonder his good brothers in the barracks call him Feng Danchun.

He also said that apart from fighting, he was stupid in everything else.

·

The prince really didn't know how to hit Jiujiu just now. He couldn't bear to hit Jiujiu. He just wanted to scare Jiujiu, mainly to make Jiujiu remember it.

What he didn't expect was that the eldest prince would be so excited and say those words.

Qingque, who was accompanying him, said, "The eldest prince has always been impulsive and doesn't like to listen to advice. He doesn't understand the good intentions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which is why he had an argument with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Bai Yi said, "Your Highness, don't take the eldest prince's words too seriously."

"I understand." The prince said, "I have so much work to do right now that I don't have the time to think about that. I'm just a little surprised that the eldest prince actually likes Jiujiu so much."

"The princess is beautiful. Anyone who gets close to her will have good luck. Everyone likes her."

The prince nodded in agreement and then got down to business.

"Qingque, Baiyi, the two of you go and find out who captured Jiujiu and why he set fire to the inn?"

"After we find out, we will teach them a lesson and then expel them from Western Chu. Their descendants within three generations and their six clans will not be allowed to enter Western Chu again."

The prince was doing this to prevent any possibility of revenge against Jiujiu in the future.

He thought about it very carefully.

He thought of his descendants within three generations and six clans of relatives.

"Your Highness, why don't you just kill the people who captured the princess?" Qingque asked suspiciously.

The prince smiled slightly sinisterly and said, "Jiujiu burned down almost an entire street where every inch of land was worth a lot of money. Killing him would be too easy for him. He would be heavily in debt and under great pressure, and spend the rest of his life in the torment and pain of paying back the debt."

"What if he's extremely rich?"

Prince: "Then use some tricks to make him penniless, and then make him pay for the rest of his life."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"We know what to do."

Qingque and Baiyi went to do business.

The crown prince rushed to Emperor Zhaoning overnight and replied to Emperor Zhaoning, the tenth prince, the eleventh prince, the thirteenth prince and others that Jiujiu had been found and asked them not to worry.

As for the disaster victims who moved to Yulin County due to the snow disaster in Qiaoshu County, he has to continue to guide them to be properly resettled, and then clear the roads in Qiaoshu County so that the victims can return after the weather gets warmer and the snow melts.

The prince has a lot of things to do.

Even though he and Yu Wanyin's wedding date had been set and he was about to become a groom, he still had to be busy.

·

The eldest prince was much more relaxed.

At this moment, after Jiujiu followed the eldest prince back to the eldest prince's mansion, the eldest prince had someone prepare a table full of delicious food, and he and Jiujiu started to eat.

The eldest prince even told Jiujiu a good news, "Have you heard? Jiujiu, your aunt is pregnant."

"Really?" Jiujiu excited.

"Of course it's true. The news has spread all over the city." The eldest prince sighed, "Speaking of which, your uncle and aunt have been married for many years but have no children. When they just came back from exile, I heard that your grandfather and grandmother were still looking for children everywhere and trying to adopt them. I didn't expect that you would be pregnant now."

"It must be thanks to Jiujiu's blessing."

"Yeah." Jiujiu agreed with a smile.

[It must be that the prescription that my mother gave my aunt before Jiujiu has taken effect. ]

[My aunt drank it and naturally became pregnant. ]

【Jiujiu will soon have a new playmate.】

[I just wonder if my aunt will leak the prescription when she gets the medicine? ]

[At that time, I was only concerned about getting my aunt pregnant, and I didn't think about asking her to be careful about the prescription being leaked. Now that I think about it, it's really bad. Jiujiu will go and ask about it later.]

When the eldest prince heard Jiujiu's thoughts, his eyes lit up.

Jiujiu actually has a prescription for getting pregnant?

The eldest prince hurriedly sent away the servants and asked Jiujiu, "Sister, it is widely rumored in the capital that your aunt got pregnant because of the fertility prescription given by Empress Li. Can you give me a fertility prescription as well?"

There is no rumor in the capital that Concubine Li gave Su Xiaoxue a fertility prescription and made her pregnant.

It was written by the eldest prince himself.

"Big brother, do you also want to get pregnant?" Jiujiu asked casually without thinking.

The eldest prince blushed when asked this question. He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Brother is a man, how can he be pregnant?"

"Oh..." Jiujiu corrected, "Big brother wants to help a woman get pregnant?"

"...Yes." The eldest prince said, "Big brother has a person he likes very much, her name is Xiao Jingwen. As soon as she reached the age of 15, I asked for permission to marry her. However, her father was a minor official and was used to being cautious. He did not want her to marry into the royal family and even threatened her life. He arranged for her to be engaged to a small lieutenant overnight and then got married in a hurry."

"She has been married for three years now and has no children."

"Her life is so hard! I heard from her best friend that because she hasn't been out for three years, her mother-in-law often makes rules for her, and the concubines at home also step on her face..."

"Although I can't marry her, I hope she can give birth to a child for my husband's family and consolidate their position, so that life will be easier."

As the eldest prince spoke, he took several sips of wine in succession, with an expression of unrelieved sadness on his face. Perhaps that woman really touched his heart, and his current situation also made him sad.

【Xiao Jingwen? 】

[In the book, she was the official wife of the eldest brother. After the eldest brother died, she committed suicide beside him. However, they never got married.]

[She is also married.]

【My elder brother never got married because of this.】

[The man she married wasn't a good one either. That captain favored his concubine over his wife. After she married him, she was always ignored and didn't even consummate the marriage. She was a girl until her death. How could she get pregnant without consummating the marriage?]

[If Big Brother really wanted her to get pregnant and secure her position in the family, he should have persuaded her to consummate the marriage with her husband instead of asking for medicine.]

The eldest prince was originally heartbroken because Jiujiu had told him that Xiao Jingwen had committed suicide by her side after his death. Then he heard Jiujiu ask him to persuade Xiao Jingwen to consummate her marriage with her husband.

The eldest prince: Killing people is heart-breaking!

"Big brother, if you still like her, just snatch her away. You are the eldest prince, you can snatch her away as long as you want."

"Why are you still trying to get her to have a baby?"

Jiujiu asked seriously while chewing on the duck neck.

The eldest prince shook his head and said, "No, although my brother is a warrior, he also knows the importance of a girl's reputation. I don't want her to be accused of having an affair and seducing the prince, and her reputation will be ruined."

【My elder brother suddenly became a gentleman. 】

[Maybe it's because I really like you that I'm being so cautious. 】

[But, Xiao Jingwen was miserable. In the book, because her mother's family was more powerful than her husband's family, she was not divorced even though she didn't have a child. But, she was often beaten by her husband because of this.]

[If my elder brother had gone to see it with his own eyes, he would have definitely seen the pain she suffered from the beating, and then understood what kind of person she married.]

Being beaten?

The eldest prince was shocked.

He thought Xiao Jingwen's hard life was limited to being set rules and having concubines climb up to her head, but he never expected that she would also be beaten...
