"No, no!" the woman shouted instantly, fearing that her lover would really be beaten.
Those beautiful eyes instantly filled with tears, and a little fear flashed in them, "Please, please don't do anything. Your Highness, I beg you to let us go. I have a child now and I can't serve you." Your Majesty!"
The woman shed tears as she spoke, her voice trembling very much. She grabbed the prince's clothes with one hand and pulled gently.
The anger in the eyes of the man next to him was even deeper. How could he see the woman he loved so lowly for him? So he said angrily: "Alian, you don't have to worry about me. Since he wants to beat me, let him beat me to death. Now that so many people are watching and it has been reported to the court, I'll see how he ends up!"
This man is obviously also a scholar, he knows a little about government affairs, his shoulders are straight, and he still refuses to admit defeat.
But Alian shook her head desperately, "No... no!"
After hearing that A-Lian was pregnant, the prince of the Hou family seemed even more happy, "Who said you can't serve me when you're pregnant? As long as my prince says you can!"
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers looked at each other in confusion, and there were some low-pitched discussions for a while.
"The prince of the Hou family is really arrogant. He won't even let a pregnant woman go."
"He's always been like this, haven't you gotten used to it yet?"
"But is there really no one in the court to punish him? Is it possible that because his father has great power, he is allowed to do such ridiculous things again and again?"
"Okay, please stop saying a few words. You and I are both ordinary people. If we wait for others to hear us, we might suffer something..."
These words fell into the ears of Lin Qingwan and Chun Mian word by word. Chun Mian couldn't help but frown, "This prince really has no humanity at all. Miss, stop looking, let's go."
Lin Qingwan's eyes were cold, "We are leaving, what will they do?"
Chun Mian was stunned for a second. Before she could understand the meaning of these words, she saw the woman striding forward.
But before Lin Qingwan could speak, a gentle male voice came from the crowd, "Your Highness, the Emperor is conducting a rigorous investigation on corruption in various places these days, especially the officials in the capital. If this matter spreads, If it is opened, not only the prince, but also the Hou Mansion will be implicated. I’m afraid the Crown Prince doesn’t want to implicate the entire Hou Mansion just because of himself, right? No one can say for sure what the Marquis will do by then. "
Everyone turned around and saw a man in green clothes slowly entering.
This man was tall, with broad shoulders and a face like a star. His eyes were upright and gentle. His lips moved lightly when he spoke. There was no expression on his face, but he was majestic.
The prince of the Hou family, who was still very arrogant just now, frowned slightly, squinted his eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "Han Jingzhi, why did you suddenly appear here?"
Han Jingzhi?
Lin Qingwan's movements paused slightly. The Mr. Han whom Chun Mian was talking about just now seemed to have the same surname of Han.
Chun Mian, who was beside her, was already stunned. She only felt her scalp numb, and immediately grabbed Lin Qingwan's arm, "Miss, it's Mr. Han, it's Mr. Han!"
"Ah?" Lin Qingwan made a sound in her throat. How could it be such a coincidence?
I originally wanted to find a chance to meet the legendary Mr. Han, but I didn't expect to see him here today.
She couldn't help but start looking at the man up and down. He was really good-looking, comparable to Xuan Qianchen, and his temperament was gentler, which always gave people the illusion of alienation.
At this moment, Han Jingzhi had already walked up to the prince of the Hou Mansion, and scanned him with his eyes, "I was just passing by here and happened to see the prince doing these things. I wanted to sell a favor to the Hou Mansion, so I came forward. Reminder, but I don’t know if the prince will accept my kindness."
This was said very cleverly. The so-called intention is nothing but a threat. If the prince of the Hou family continues to insist on his own way, Han Jingzhi cannot be blamed for what happens next.
"Don't just rely on the fact that you are the Young Minister of Dali Temple to ride on my prince's head. I'm warning you, if I tell my father what happened today when I go back, you won't be able to have any peace of mind in the court in the future!"
"I get my salary to work for the court, the emperor, and the people. Even if the marquis wants to target me, I will have no regrets. But before that, Your Majesty, you should take care of yourself first. Everything you do has already been reported to me. Your Majesty, it’s not that your Majesty doesn’t know, but he wants to give you another chance.”
"If this matter comes to light again, the Emperor will definitely be furious. No matter who comes then, I'm afraid they won't be able to protect you."
This was said lightly, but it was extremely offensive.
You know, Prince Shen Hou has always dared to be so arrogant. Firstly, he relied on his father, and secondly, he thought that no one would report his affairs to the emperor.
But now after hearing Han Jingzhi's words, it is obvious that these two conditions are about to disappear...
But how could he be willing to admit defeat? For so many years, no one in the capital has dared to control him.
He is just a small young minister from Dali Temple. How dare he lose face in front of so many people today?
Prince Shen's pupils dilated instantly, and he made a decision almost instantly. He strode forward and stared directly at Han Jingzhi, "Okay, don't you want to do things for the people, but I won't let you do it?" You are satisfied."
After saying this, he turned back and looked at the attendant behind him, "Come here, bring this woman back to the prince's mansion. Today I want to taste the taste of a pregnant woman."
Han Jingzhi didn't expect Crown Prince Shen Hou to be so crazy. He tightened his fists and asked, "Is the Crown Prince really going to do such a thing?"
"Why, are you angry? You are a small fourth-grade official, but you still rely on your relationship with the Prime Minister to sit here. Do you really think that this prince will be afraid of you? There is never anything I want to do that I can't accomplish!"
Lin Qingwan didn't expect this person to be so arrogant. She sneered and narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Oh, really? Since the Crown Prince said that he is just a small fourth-rank official, then how about our Prime Minister's Palace and the Prince's Palace come forward together? Isn't the Crown Prince also afraid?"
Hearing this sound, the onlookers turned around again and looked in the direction of the sound. The moment he saw the woman, Han Jingzhi's expression changed slightly. His clenched fists moved again, and emotions flashed in his eyes. And passed.
He subconsciously wanted to move forward, but he seemed to have thought of something and forcibly restrained himself from standing where he was.
Lin Qingwan looked Han Jing up and down, and then said directly: "Since the Crown Prince does not want to resolve the matter privately, and is not willing to accept Young Master Han's kindness, then Young Master Han can just report his matter to Dali Temple directly. Why bother? Are you wasting your time here? Isn’t it a waste of your time?”
