Pang Xiao's sword was dripping with blood. His phoenix eyes were cold and sharp, but his slanted eyebrows were slightly raised, as if he was enjoying the smell of blood. He crouched down and said, "How is it? Does it feel good? "
The man lying on the ground was in so much pain that his entire body was trembling. He really wanted to faint, but the intense pain pulled at his consciousness, making him more awake than ever.
"Wang Ye, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Wang Ye, please spare me!"
The man's begging voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. But in the hall that was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard, his voice was like a heavy hammer, fiercely pounding on everyone's heart.
Madam Lu was already so scared that her face turned pale. After a while, she recovered and said with a frown, "Prince Zhongshun, how can you be so cruel?"
"Cruel? What kind of person is this? This King even thinks that he dirtied Ah Lan's sword! "Pang Xiao wiped the blood off the sword on the man's body, then casually threw it to Ji Zeyu.
If it was anyone else, they would have been stunned by Pang Xiao's sudden move. But Ji Zeyu still stood in place with a frosty expression.
With a clang, the sword accurately returned to the scabbard at Ji Zeyu's waist.
Pang Xiao's cool and unrestrained throwing of the sword, Ji Zeyu's complete trust, and the murderous aura exuding from the two at the same time, made everyone present feel terrified.
Li Helan looked at the two handsome men, and his ears became even hotter.
Madam Lu pursed her lips and smiled. She was moved and said, "Forget it. Since Wang Ye can only be appeased like this, it doesn't matter if Wang Ye takes all of them."
When the male companions heard this, they all looked at Madam Lu in disbelief.
They never would have thought that Madam Lu would take the initiative to give them away.
Looking at the half unconscious man on the ground with his arms crippled, they all trembled and knelt down to kowtow.
Pang Xiao gave a cold smile, "Aren't these Madam Lu's precious treasures? Aren't you afraid that people will be hurt if you say this? "
Madam Lu wanted to say, "To make you smile, taking their lives is nothing."
But when she looked up, she saw Pang Xiao's cold eyes. Even if he was smiling, his body was filled with murderous aura, as if he was a beast that could pounce at any time. Madam Lu's words, she didn't dare to say them even if she was beaten to death..

.. Li Helan quickly chased after the two of them in a panic, "This one doesn't have anything to play with. Husband, send this one back to the princess' palace!"
Ji Zeyu turned around to look at Li Helan and said, "This one is stupid and can't serve the Eldest Princess well. I'll have to trouble the Eldest Princess' people to serve you well." He politely nodded and continued walking.
Li Helan was truly panicking this time.
Even if Ji Zeyu was cold to her before, he wasn't as polite and distant as he was right now. She found that Ji Zeyu being cold to her wasn't the most terrifying thing because Ji Zeyu's personality was cold to begin with. The most terrifying thing was that Ji Zeyu was suddenly polite to her.
They didn't know each other too late. When they met before, Ji Zeyu had never been this polite to her.
Li Helan found that after the wedding, although one of them lived in the princess' palace and the other lived in the prince's palace, and they had only done things as husband and wife on the wedding night, Ji Zeyu had always been cold to her and a bit casual.
Li Helan really regretted it in the past. She shouldn't have been greedy and tried to play around. Ji Zeyu was already like this, so how could they live as husband and wife in the future?
Li Helan chased after a few steps. Seeing the black and white figures quickly walk away without any hesitation, she finally couldn't help crying.
Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu walked side by side. They were silent the entire way out of the Zhong Yong Marquis' palace.
Pang Xiao felt that it was unfair for Ji Zeyu in his heart.
But he also knew that from the moment Ji Zeyu agreed to become the prince consort of the imperial family, he had already made all kinds of mental preparations.
Although there was no lack of gentle, kind, noble, and elegant princesses, there were also many like Madam Lu who kept a gigolo.
Princess Shang and husband and wife didn't stand on equal footing to begin with. The princess was the master, and the prince consort was specially used to serve the princess. When the princess needed, the prince consort would be invited to the princess' palace. Only then would the prince consort be able to get close to his wife. Usually, if the princess didn't call for him, the prince consort wouldn't be able to touch the princess at all. He wouldn't even be able to take in a servant girl who slept with him.
This was the helplessness of serving the imperial family.
Pang Xiao felt that with Ji Zeyu's talent and character, it was really unfair for him to be the prince consort. However, he also understood that Ji Zeyu's current situation was also one where his meritorious service shocked the emperor. Ji Zeyu's situation was as difficult as his.
Ji Zeyu had agreed to be Li Helan's prince consort after many considerations.
The two of them walked out of the palace in silence. They saw their mounts kicking their hooves in the snow, creating a patch of mud on the ground. On the side of the carriage, Qin Yining lifted the curtain and looked over.
Pang Xiao was delighted to see Qin Yining, but he couldn't show it on his face. He coldly scolded, "What are you still doing here? Don't tell me you still want to continue enjoying yourself with Madam Lu? "
Qin Yining looked at Ji Zeyu, then lowered his eyes and lowered the curtain. He didn't reply and ordered the carriage to set off.
As the sound of the horse's hooves gradually faded away, Ji Zeyu said helplessly, "Don't you like the Qin Clan? Why are you so blunt? How are you going to make up for hurting her heart in the future? "
Pang Xiao said, "She's the daughter of my enemy. So what if I like her?"
Ji Zeyu silently sighed as he heard this. He then patted Pang Xiao's shoulder and said, "Thank you for your help."
"There's no need for thanks between brothers. But Ah Lan, you can talk to Your Majesty about this matter. "
"What's the use of talking to him? Your Majesty doesn't have that much free time to deal with these mundane matters. Besides, I'm supposed to serve the Princess. The Princess has the freedom to do whatever she wants. She can also have gigolos, but I can only protect my body for her. "
Ji Zeyu was used to being a man of few words. He would only speak freely in front of his brothers, no longer stingy with his words.
Pang Xiao said, "Forget it. Don't think too much. I'll treat you to wine. Come, let's go to my house." As he spoke, he took the reins and nimbly mounted his horse.
Ji Zeyu also took his own horse. He looked up at Pang Xiao, who was sitting upright on the horse, and asked, "I heard that your di mother has returned. Is it convenient to go to your house to drink wine?"
"The palace is so big. Don't tell me there's no place for the two of us to drink wine? Don't be so long-winded. Let's go. "
Ji Zeyu didn't ask any more questions. He mounted his horse and followed Pang Xiao to the palace. The two of them drank wine in the outer courtyard's study until the middle of the night. They were both drunk and sprawled out on the heated kang in the study.
As for Qin Yining, he only caught up with Qin Huaiyuan the next evening. He told Qin Huaiyuan everything that had happened yesterday. In the end, he asked worriedly, "Father, can we really not afford to offend the Lu family?"
Qin Huaiyuan nodded and said, "The Lu family was already a famous aristocratic family back in Beiji. Their economic power is unfathomable. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they are as rich as a country. Back then, the Lu family was loyal to Your Majesty and provided the rebel army with food and money. That's why Da Zhou was able to destroy Beiji. It's clear how powerful their family is now. "
"Although that Madam Lu is only from a side branch of the Lu family, even if she's from a side branch, in Da Zhou's capital, as long as the surname is Lu, you have to be careful when interacting with them."
When Qin Yining heard this, he frowned thoughtfully. After thinking for a while, he said worriedly, "Father, I'm afraid that my actions yesterday have already offended Madam Lu and Eldest Princess Anyang. Do you think I've unintentionally offended the Lu family? Harmed our family? I'm really afraid of bringing trouble to our family. "
Although she didn't regret her decision, she was still worried about her Family Qin.
After all, her Family Qin had only just gained a foothold in Da Zhou. How could they become enemies with a large family like the Lu family?
When Qin Huaiyuan saw his daughter's rare listless appearance, he couldn't help but laugh loudly.
"Silly girl, what are you thinking about? Have you forgotten what your father told you the day before? Don't be so overcautious and think so much. Just do what you think is right. If something happens, father will help you. We didn't come to this world to suffer and be wronged. No matter how powerful the Lu family is, what can they do? "
Qin Yining looked at Qin Huaiyuan's bright smile and couldn't help but laugh, "Father is right. It's me who's too rigid. No matter how strong the enemy is, we can't retreat. Moreover, I believe that with father's talent, becoming a famous minister is only a matter of time. "
The father and daughter talked happily, just like when they were in Dayan.
Qin Huaiyuan didn't have a son and only had Qin Yining as his only daughter. Naturally, he spoiled her to the bottom of his heart.
Qin Yining was never a spoiled and arrogant person. She didn't match the steadiness and open-mindedness of her age. Also, no matter what Qin Huaiyuan talked about, she could always give her own opinions. The father and daughter really got along well with each other. This made Qin Huaiyuan want to treat his daughter better and make up for all the pain she suffered when she was young.
After two days like this, there was suddenly a rumor outside.
It was said that Madam Lu and the Fourth Miss of the Family Qin family didn't have the same eight characters and had long been at odds with each other. When Madam Lu heard that the Family Qin family's courtyard was rented, she actually threatened to buy it. Even if it was empty, she wouldn't rent it to the Family Qin family. She wanted to let the Family Qin family know how powerful she was. In the capital, not just anyone could offend her.
When Qin Yining heard this, she couldn't help but laugh.
"How interesting. This Madam Lu is very interesting. With her around, my days in the capital won't be so boring. "
