Chapter 176: Courting Death
The eighth day after arriving in Hejian Prefecture.
It was raining all day long, and Rong Jinchen went to find Xie Cijing. The two of them got along well and were about to attack the Prince of Hejian.
I didn't expect that he would come to my door himself.
Prince Hejian didn’t think Rong Jinchen could be sincere to Su Zhenzhen. What man doesn’t cheat?
Su Zhenzhen didn't see Rong Jinchen all day. Only at noon did he ask Gu Heng to come back and say that there was no need for lunch.
That evening, as night fell, Rong Jinchen just returned. His brows were furrowed, his face looked cold, and he seemed to be in a very bad mood.
After seeing Su Zhenzhen, he relaxed his expression, strode up to her, and whispered: "Qingqing, why are you waiting for me at the door? It's cold in spring, don't catch a cold." He touched her little hand and felt relieved when he found it was warm, "Husband, I miss you." She didn't want to understand those official matters. Su Zhenzhen just suddenly wanted to talk to him during the meal, but found that Rong Jinchen was not there, and she felt a little lost for a moment.
The man's eyes were gentle, "I miss Qingqing too." Because of the unhappy things that happened today because of that idiot Prince of Hejian, the moment he saw Qingqing, his mood turned from gloomy to bright.
Su Zhenzhen took his hot big hand and turned to walk inside. In front of her was a maid holding colorful palace lanterns to lead the way. She said in a soft voice: "Husband, have you had your meal?" It was almost seven o'clock in the evening. Although Su Zhenzhen had not had her meal, she had eaten a lot of snacks and fruits and felt a little full.
Rong Jinchen pursed his lips, tilted his forehead to look at her figure, his eyes fell on their clasped hands, "Not yet." He casually said: "Qingqing, have you eaten?" He had not considered the possibility that Su Zhenzhen had not eaten first. For foodies, they always eat on time.
She glanced at the tall man and said softly, "I don't have any either, but I had some snacks." Rong Jinchen's face darkened and he scolded her lightly, "Nonsense!" How could you skip meals? "Humph, I missed you. I can't eat or drink. I just want to wait for you." Su Zhenzhen puffed out her cheeks and said with a flat mouth.
The man's thin lips, which were originally pursed, couldn't help but lift up when he heard the words, and a hint of pampering flashed quickly in his eyes, "It's my fault. I didn't come back in time to have dinner with Qingqing." But Qingqing was so sweet-mouthed, he loved her so much.
Su Zhenzhen blinked at him. She liked men who could reflect on themselves. Besides, how could the situation in Hejian Prefecture be the same as that in Yingtian Prefecture?
Rong Jinchen obviously wanted to make an example of someone to scare the monkeys. Her father Su Qiyang also specifically asked him to pay attention to the situation in Hejian Prefecture, so it was normal for him to be busy.
During the meal, Su Zhenzhen scooped up a small wonton with chicken sauce, blew on it, and asked Rong Jinchen after she finished eating, "What did my husband do today?" She was not afraid of women not being able to interfere in politics.
Rong Jinchen cutely told her what he did every day, and Su Zhenzhen also liked to tell him about her daily life. The two of them had endless things to talk about.
They are also good at providing emotional value to others.
Unexpectedly, Rong Jinchen's face darkened slightly, and he did not answer her question immediately.
Gu Heng was very considerate at this time, "Princess, His Highness was hit by a scam today." He saw Su Zhenzhen's puzzled expression, "His Highness did not let them get close to him, but he was very angry." It could even be said that he was furious.
The timeline goes back to this morning.
The retreat hall where the prefect of Hejian Prefecture worked.
"Your Highness Prince of Yan, I have prepared a delicious banquet today. I wonder if Your Highness Prince of Yan would do me the honor of attending?" Prince Hejian said with a smile, holding an ivory carved folding fan.
"Yes." Rong Jinchen, who was about to attack him, nodded and casually instructed Gu Heng: "Gu Heng, go back and tell Qingqing that I will not be back for lunch, and ask her to eat obediently." Gu Heng took the order and left very skillfully.
The Prince of Hejian looked at Xie Cijing standing beside him, his eyes flickering slightly. "Master Xie, how about we go together?" Xie Cijing, standing aside, saw him like this and nodded slightly. "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I would be honored to refuse."
As a result, when they arrived at Yaoyue Tower, they had just gone up to the private room on the third floor and had just taken a few sips of wine when Prince Hejian impatiently said, "Drinking like this is boring. I have prepared some snacks for His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and Lord Xie." He clapped his hands.
Two rows of handsome men and beautiful women filed in from outside the house. They were dressed in dusty clothes, but their makeup was very pure. Those handsome men were masculine, and they were obviously the type that Prince Hejian liked.
The Prince of Hejian was not very interested in women, and he ordered a woman today in order to entertain Rong Jinchen and Xie Cijing.
When the women among these people saw Rong Jinchen and Xie Cijing, who each had their own unique looks and were dressed elegantly, their eyes suddenly lit up and they couldn't wait to see them.
If they could be valued by a noble, they would no longer have to struggle to survive in the Music Bureau. Even being a concubine in a noble's house would be better than working in the Music Bureau.
They didn't know who these two people were. The person who brought them here only said that they were distinguished guests of the Prince of Hejian.
The young men didn't think that these two nobles who looked countless times more handsome than them would look down on them, and they all went to
A handsome man with a delicate face and elegant features came forward to pour wine for the Prince of Hejian. The other men skillfully massaged his shoulders and legs. The Prince of Hejian, holding a white porcelain wine glass, smiled heartily, "Your Highness, Prince of Yan, thank you, sir. These are the courtesans I hired at a great expense. They only sell their art, not their bodies. They are very clean. Would you like to try some?"
Rong Jinchen's handsome face turned cold when Prince Hejian clapped his hands. He didn't even look at the group of people. Xie Cijing did the same.
The group of women were a little hesitant. The two nobles looked indifferent and difficult to approach. But there was a brave one who walked up to them and teased them, "Dear nobles, let me pour you some wine~" and was about to take a few steps forward to approach the two men.
The bold and charming woman was still ten feet away. Rong Jinchen stood up immediately, with a dark face, and said in a cold voice: "Get out of here." Before he finished speaking, he walked away from them.
When Xie Cijing saw him like this, a trace of envy flashed across his eyes, but then quickly disappeared.
The others in the room only realized at this moment that this person was actually a prince. Moreover, since he didn't give the name of the Prince of Hejian, it could only be the Prince of Yan, the rumored prince in the city!
At this time, the Prince of Hejian was touching the fair and smooth slender fingers of a young waiter, and hugging a small and delicate young waiter. He suddenly saw Rong Jinchen avoiding women like the plague, and said in a fatherly tone: "Your Highness, it is inevitable for men to have some fun when they go out for social events. You are not really doing anything? Why are you so angry?" It's not really touching, so what's wrong with taking advantage of her?
He is also a man and knows that it is painful to have only one woman or man. Prince Hejian thinks that he is seeking benefits for His Royal Highness Prince Yan and satisfying his greed.
Rong Jinchen's forehead veins throbbed, and he couldn't help but shout, "Gu Cheng, come in." Outside, a group of imperial guards and the Imperial Guards broke through the door and arrested the Prince of Hejian. "Prince Yan, what are you doing? I'm your uncle!" His expression changed slightly, but he remained calm.
The people in the room were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were making a lot of noise. Gu Cheng scolded them with a cold face: "Shut up." Suddenly, the only voice left in the room was the cursing voice of Prince Hejian.
