Chapter 135 It’s thundering!
Shen Huaichen thought he had heard it wrong.
He narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness flashing in them: "Master Master, what do you mean by this?"
Jiang Hui's expression remained unchanged, and even when facing Shen Huaichen, he remained neither humble nor arrogant.
Although he didn't know why his master asked him to stop the Third Prince's carriage, since it was the master's order, it must make sense.
Therefore, at this moment, Jiang Hui stood firmly in front of the carriage that was carrying Shen Huaichen to the palace for the banquet, his eyes cold and stern: "What I mean is, His Royal Highness the Third Prince should go home tonight."
Shen Huaichen chuckled twice when he heard this.
The originally gentle eyes, hidden in the night, reflected a somewhat slippery and venomous gaze.
Shen Huaichen raised his eyebrows slightly, with a half-smile: "Is Guard Jiang making fun of me?"
Jiang Hui was tall, and under the moonlight, he looked like a powerful beast.
"The young master said that there are people at the palace banquet who do not want to see Your Highness, so I will have to inconvenience Your Highness the Third Prince."
Shen Huaichen almost laughed out loud when he heard this: “Someone doesn’t want to see me, so they don’t allow me to go to the appointment?”
Shen Huaichen narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous look flashed in his eyes: "Master Shaofu, why do you think that this king is so easy to talk to?"
After saying this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and a hint of hostility flashed in Shen Huaichen's eyes: "What if this king insists on attending the banquet tonight?"
Jiang Hui's expression remained unchanged, his face stern. He spoke coldly, saying only three words: "Bai Yujing."
In an instant, Shen Huaichen's pupils shrank violently, and he looked at Jiang Hui with undisguised murderous intent: "What did you say?"
Jiang Hui still saluted respectfully with his fists clasped, his tone calm, "Young Master had already discovered the Third Prince's secret base in the capital, Baiyujing, earlier."
Shen Huaichen opened his eyes slightly, looking at Jiang Hui with a complicated look.
"Young Master means that he has no interest in the fight for the throne, nor does he want to participate. That is a struggle between the Third Prince and the Crown Prince. He will not favor either side. Whoever inherits the throne in the future will be the emperor he will assist."
After a pause, Jiang Hui's eyebrows sharpened a little. He raised his eyes to look at Shen Huaichen and said word by word: "But, if His Royal Highness the Third Prince is determined to attend the banquet today, then I don't mind finding something for you to do, just as a way to hone your character."
Shen Huaichen sneered and said "OK" three times in a row. His eyes were full of coldness, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Shaofu is threatening me like this just because he doesn't want me to attend the celebration banquet tonight?"
"Yes," Jiang Hui answered sincerely, "Young Master said that the Third Prince will not be attending the banquet today, and he will pretend to be unaware of the incident at Baiyujing."
Shen Huaichen narrowed his eyes, his expression cold and pressing: "He has never thought that if I really am the king... and reach the throne of the emperor in the future, then threatening me like this tonight would be a capital crime."
Jiang Hui's expression was calm, his tone unperturbed: "Young Master's original words: The first stroke to execute an official is the first stroke to destroy a nation."
Shen Huaichen's eyes were dark and gloomy, and his dark eyes were as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Guard Jiang, I want to ask you," Shen Huaichen said in a low voice, "Who doesn't want to see me? Who can make Master Shaofu threaten me and force me to return home?"
Jiang Hui held out his hand, his expression unchanged: "Third Prince, please go back."
After a long while, he sneered, knocked on the door frame, and said coldly: "Turn around."
--
Inside the Baohe Hall.
Still dead silent.
The group of people looked at each other with very ugly expressions.
The reason why those guests dared to point fingers at Pei Jingxu just now was that they subconsciously tied Rong Xuanzhou and Rong Jianxue together.
In their opinion, Rong Xuanzhou's behavior represented the young master.
That's why they dared to talk about and criticize Mrs. Pei.
But at this moment, this young master stood against General Rong Xuanzhou?
For a moment, everyone was in a state of panic, their faces turned pale, and they looked like a disaster was about to happen.
——No one dared to speak for Zhou Qin and Bai Shutong anymore.
Zhou Qin's expression was gloomy. He never expected that this young master would get involved in such a matter.
If there was anyone in this world he was afraid of besides his grandfather, the Duke, it would be this Young Tutor Rong Jianxue.
He is upright and unafraid of power. To him, his bribes and threats are nothing but decorations.
Bai Shutong was the first to react.
She pulled the corners of her mouth and laughed dryly twice: "Master, Zhou Qin is young, so it's inevitable that he will say something out of anger. Master, please don't blame him."
Rong Jianxue's eyes were cold and calm as she looked at Bai Shutong.
"You've fanned the flames, pretending to obey but secretly disobeying. Today's incident was caused by you, Bai. Do you think you're not wrong?"
The smile on Bai Shutong's face froze, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.
Seeing this, Rong Xuanzhou pursed his lips slightly, frowned, and said, "Brother, it's just a small..."
"After the banquet, go to the ancestral hall to receive family discipline."
Without waiting for Rong Xuanzhou to finish, Rong Jianxue spoke coldly, with an unquestionable order.
Rong Xuanzhou's unfinished words got stuck in his throat, and a look of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes.
His elder brother was actually quite tolerant towards him. Ever since he could remember, he had rarely been punished by going to the ancestral hall to follow the family rules!
Rong Xuanzhou knew that his elder brother was really angry this time.
Not daring to say anything else, Rong Xuanzhou lowered his head slightly and said, "Yes."
Even though Rong Xuanzhou has made great military achievements now, it is clear who is in charge of the entire Rong family.
"Zhou Qin, I'll say this one last time," Rong Jianxue looked at Zhou Qin again, his tone serious and cold, "Apologize to the Pei family."
Zhou Qin frowned, and he glanced sideways at Bai Shutong standing beside him.
Bai Shutong's eyes signaled something to him. Zhou Qin closed his eyes slightly, then lowered his head and bowed slightly to Pei Jingxu, who was still sobbing softly. "Second Madam Pei, tonight is... I'm sorry for being rude, please don't blame me, Second Madam."
"It's not sincere, apologize again."
Before Pei Jingxu could say anything, Rong Jianxue, who was standing behind her, spoke again, her tone devoid of emotion.
Zhou Qin frowned even tighter, but he looked up at the man behind Pei Jingxu and gritted his teeth.
Finally, he filled the wine glass from the table and saluted Pei Jingxu: "Second Madam, I was young and impulsive. I believed the rumors and offended you in public. I apologize to you."
After saying that, Zhou Qin drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
After drinking, he showed the empty bottom of the cup to Pei Jingxu.
Pei Jingxu raised her eyes slightly, with tears still in the corners of her eyes. The man behind her handed half a glass of wine to Pei Jingxu.
Pei Jingxu was stunned: Does it mean that she should return the favor and forgive Zhou Qin?
Pei Jingxu glanced sideways, her tearful eyes casting a puzzled look at the man behind her.
Rong Jianxue looked at her indifferently, then guided her hand holding the wine glass and poured the half glass of wine at Zhou Qin's feet.
Zhou Qin's eyes widened, and he was furious: "Master Pei--Master Master, what do you mean by this!?"
Rong Jianxue withdrew her hand and said slowly, "Just because you apologized, does that mean she has to forgive you?"
"You——" Veins popped out on Zhou Qin's forehead!
He had been spoiled since he was little, when had he ever been treated like this?!
But when he saw Rong Jianxue in front of him, Zhou Qin barely suppressed the anger in his eyes, glanced at Pei Jingxu coldly, snorted coldly, and left in a huff!
All of a sudden, all the guests scattered like birds and beasts, not daring to look anymore.
Rong Xuanzhou took Bai Shutong by the hand and sat down again without saying a word.
Pei Jingxu turned around, looked up at Rong Jianxue, and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, sir..."
Rong Jianxue's expression remained unchanged as he lowered his eyes to look at her.
At this moment.
"Boom——"
A loud thunder exploded!
In an instant, heavy rain poured down!
Pei Jingxu's body tensed up instantly and his face turned pale at the moment of thunder!
