Lu Baichuan pursed his lips, looking as if he were ready to die.
He Jiuniang was amused by him: "This matter is not as serious as you think, so don't worry."
It's just a few fruits, who can do anything to her?
Since she's decided to do it, she'll definitely do it. As for the things Lu Baichuan is worried about, either they shouldn't happen, or she'll have to deal with them one by one.
If you've lived two lives and still can't live them to the fullest, what's the point?
He Jiuniang patted his shoulder and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I'll hold the sky up even if it falls! Go to sleep, you have to go to the palace to treat the emperor tomorrow!"
As he spoke, he yawned and turned to walk into the house.
Lu Baichuan: ...
What does it mean to say that even if the sky falls, she'll hold it up?
So what did he do? Hide behind her and whine?
Lu Baichuan's face darkened considerably. His wife looked down on him to some extent, and he was determined to show her what he was capable of tonight!
That night, He Jiuniang finally realized how terrifying a madman could be. When she was exhausted and drowsy, the man was still gritting his teeth and asking in her ear, "Who will hold up the sky if it falls down?"
"Go ahead and argue, fine? I'm not going to fight for it!"
The scoundrel was finally satisfied and let her go to sleep.
The next day, He Jiuniang, who was supposed to go to the palace to meet the emperor early, slept in late and got up slowly.
The dog of a man felt a little guilty and was extra attentive, helping He Jiu Niang get up, wash her face and brush her teeth. He even fed her breakfast spoonful by spoonful.
He Jiuniang ignored him the whole time, and after getting ready, she got into the carriage to go to the palace.
The scoundrel wanted to take her there, but she refused.
"Don't go. Just seeing you annoys me. Don't ruin my good mood."
He Jiuniang leaned against the carriage and took the opportunity to doze off. Lu Baichuan pursed his lips, but still didn't have the nerve to follow her.
The servants nearby saw this but dared not utter a sound, pretending they had heard and seen nothing.
With his wife away, Lu Baichuan couldn't stay idle. He rode his horse to the camp, intending to take the opportunity to find out about Xinran and Prince Lin's situation.
Having been in the capital for so long, it's impossible for Xinran not to have contacted Prince Lin or her own organization.
We've kept them for too long; this time we must catch them all in one fell swoop.
He Jiuniang used to be able to ride directly into the palace in a carriage, but today she encountered Prince Jing at the palace gate. Prince Jing had long disliked Prince Chen, and he was even less friendly to He Jiuniang, who was a family member of Prince Chen's subordinate. So they started making a scene at the palace gate.
"She's just a lowly peasant woman, yet she dares not dismount from her carriage to pay her respects to me, the king. Who gave her the audacity?"
Prince Jing was still furious, remembering the humiliation he had suffered at Prince Chen's residence. He wanted He Jiuniang to kneel on the ground and beg for forgiveness.
As a dignified Prince Jing, who in the capital would not bow and greet him, yet that lowly third-rank commander of the Fire Cloud Division and his wife did not take him seriously. Even now, thinking about it, his mouth still aches.
Previously, because he was at the Prince Chen's residence and there were too many people watching, he couldn't do anything even if he was angry. But today, this woman was all alone, so he was bound to teach her a lesson.
He Jiuniang was already in a bad mood because she hadn't slept well last night, and when she heard dogs barking outside, she became even more annoyed.
"Ignore him and keep walking."
She whispered instructions to the driver, who did as she was told.
The guards knew the Lu family's carriage and let them pass after the driver showed his token.
Prince Jing was furious. These people were actually ignoring him; they were truly rebelling!
"Halt! You stop right there!"
He immediately ordered his driver to follow, and angrily cursed at people, drawing stares from the crowd.
He Jiuniang had wanted to take a nap, but Prince Jing kept her awake. She became a little irritable and stopped the carriage, got off briskly, and then waved to Prince Jing's carriage behind her: "Come, come, get off. Let's talk face to face!"
The sun was quite strong today, so He Jiuniang squinted as she looked at Prince Jing, who was getting out of the carriage in a huff, and rolled up her sleeves.
Prince Jing quickly approached her and laughed, "What, are you scared now? Quickly perform the three kneelings and nine kowtows ceremony for me, and I might spare you..."
"ha!"
Before he could finish speaking, He Jiuniang threw a left hook at him.
Before anyone could react, He Jiuniang threw another right hook.
Prince Jing spat out a few broken teeth, staring in disbelief at the woman before him. How dare she lay a hand on him?
And he's so strong!
Is this definitely a woman?!
"You, you, you dare to hit me, the king!"
He stared at her in disbelief. The beautiful young woman in front of him didn't seem to care about him at all, and was still swaying and waving her hand, as if she had hurt him.
"What, you want to get beaten up again?"
He Jiuniang waved to him again, indicating that she could still fight.
Prince Jing dared not step forward again, but said to He Jiuniang, "I am a prince. If you dare to lay a hand on me in the palace, my father will surely exterminate your entire family!"
"Oh, oh, oh, if you can't beat me, you'll bring out your dad. How impressive!"
He Jiuniang sneered mockingly, and Prince Jing wished he could kill her immediately.
But He Jiuniang's speed in those two moves was so fast that no one could react at all. He knew he was no match for her, so he had no choice but to bring up the old emperor.
But this woman actually dared to laugh at him!
I'm so angry, but I can't beat them!
Prince Jing, furious, took two breaths and decided not to argue with her. He then said to He Jiuniang, "Come with me to find Father Emperor to settle this matter! I'll make you kneel down and beg for mercy!"
A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. He'll hold back for now and then accuse this shrew in front of his father later!
"Come on, it's not certain who'll kneel down!"
He Jiuniang got back into the car, and this time the man finally stopped nagging and took the opportunity to doze off for a while.
Finally, they arrived at the old emperor's bedchamber. The eunuch had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing He Jiuniang, he hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects and said with a fawning smile, "Madam Lu has arrived. His Majesty has been waiting for a long time. Please come quickly to this old servant."
Just as they were about to go in, they saw Prince Jing getting out of the carriage with a bruised and swollen face, which startled them.
"Oh dear, Your Highness, what's wrong?"
The father-in-law went to help him up, but Prince Jing pushed him away and said angrily, "I want to see the Emperor!"
"But...but..."
"You dare to stop me?"
Prince Jing glared at him, and the eunuch dared not say anything, so he could only let him barge in.
Meanwhile, He Jiuniang had already gone inside.
When Prince Jing arrived, He Jiuniang was already kneeling in the center of the main hall, weeping softly.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I've delayed your medical treatment; it's that Prince Jing stopped me and bullied me!"
Prince Jing rushed in and was momentarily stunned upon hearing these words.
