The Duke's Mansion of the State of Qin.
The prince paced back and forth in the hall angrily, and Duke Qin said warmly:
"Cheng Qian, sit down and be quiet. The more times like this, the less likely you are to be impatient."
Prince: "Grandpa, how can I calm down? My father has become more and more dissatisfied with me recently. He also refutes and criticizes me a lot in front of hundreds of officials in the court. If this continues, how can I still have any prestige?"
Uncle Qin stood up and pulled the prince to sit down:
"Your Highness, please don't be angry. No one in the civil and military circles of the court knows how much your Majesty loves you. This time, you have also been implicated by the Xue family. His Majesty is angry now, so he will vent his anger on you. Wait for the Xue family's affairs In the past, Your Majesty will naturally not do this again."
After the prince sat down, he took a deep breath, his brows still furrowed.
Qin Zongliang: "Your Majesty is indeed abnormal this time. Although Your Majesty would express his anger in this situation in the past, it will not be as serious as this time. Is there something we don't know about..."
Uncle Qin: "Is it because of the Xue family..."
The words that Uncle Qin Guo blurted out came to an abrupt halt after he felt Duke Qin's eyes stopping him.
The prince was in a depressed mood and did not notice anything was wrong:
"Of course it's because of the Xue family and Gao Shangshu that my father blames me so much. In recent days, because of this matter, even my mother and I have been criticized a lot by my father."
While they were talking, the butler knocked on the door and came in, saying that the third prince went to the prince's mansion to give the prince a gift. He learned that the prince was in the prince's mansion, so he sent the gift to the prince's mansion.
Prince: "Chu Chengye gave me a gift? Did he come in person? What did he give me?"
Steward Qin: "When I came back to His Highness, the third prince didn't come. He sent an aide, and the one he sent was a man."
The prince stood up and frowned: "He gave me a man?? What way?"
Qin Zongliang: "Your Highness, since we have sent you to the door, you might as well bring the person in before we talk."
The prince nodded impatiently. After a moment, Jia Yu followed Butler Qin into the room with a smile that was neither humble nor arrogant, and saluted each of the four people in the room.
Prince: "Who are you?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, Jia Yu, a common man, is a staff member of the Third Highness's house."
Prince: "Since you are his staff, why are you going to the Duke's palace if you are not staying in the third prince's palace?"
Jia Yu received the sarcastic remarks but didn't care. Her smile even grew a little bigger:
"The common people are here to deliver gifts for His Highness the Third Highness. The gifts are just outside the door."
After receiving the prince's signal, Butler Qin let the three people outside the door in.
Two guards of the third prince pushed a tied-up man into the house. After saluting several people in the room, the two guards retreated.
The prince frowned and said, "Who is he?"
Jia Yu: "This man's name is Guo Qiucheng, and he is a guard of His Highness the Third Highness."
Prince: "Is this the gift Chu Chengye gave me? What did his people give me?"
Jia Yu: "Although this man is with His Highness the Third Highness, he has betrayed his master. The Third Highness has been looking for him for many days and only found him this morning at Tailai Inn. The Third Highness is worried, is this Guo Qiucheng? Mrs. Lijia" For a long time, I forgot my way home, so I specially asked the common people to send me to His Highness, and ask His Highness for help."
Prince: "He just carried the master and beat him to death with a stick. What does he want to do before I see him? Does Chu Chengye doubt that this guard is my person? Is Chu Chengye so brainless? If he were my person, I would Hiding in your own place?”
Jia Yu was courteous and smiling, and she recognized Guo Qiucheng as the prince's man. After several unsuccessful negotiations, the prince was very angry.
