Li Jingxing glanced coldly at Zhou Wen in the hall: "Gu Nian, for the sake of his orphan mother, will give you a chance to admit your mistake. If you are stubborn, I can only find a way to make you tell the truth."
When Zhou Wen saw that the momentum was not right, he felt uneasy, but he still argued: "Your Highness, this servant did not tell lies. It was the young lady who took the initiative to seduce him."
Li Jingxing didn't have the patience to continue chatting with Zhou Wen. He looked at Du Qing and said, "Take him down and bring him back up when you tell the truth."
Seeing that Li Jing was serious about his actions, Juzi finally felt a little relieved.
In fact, when he came to the Prince's Mansion to file a complaint, he was not even 100% sure, because he knew that Zhou Wen was the son of the Prince's biological mother's brother, and he was actually a cousin. Now it seemed that he was looking down on others.
Chiyang's mood was complicated.
[This short-lived ghost is still like a human being in this life. If he continues to be nepotistic and indifferent to loyalties and treachery like in his previous life, he will probably continue to follow the same path as in his previous life. Now it seems that he can be saved. Shouldn't this girl remind him more? What if you get on the right track? 】
The corners of Li Jingxing's mouth curled up in a small arc, his expression arrogant.
He is not a fool, how could he make the same mistake again.
Du Qing didn't take the person far away, so he ordered someone to beat him with a stick in the yard. Zhou Wen screamed repeatedly, and he couldn't stand it after just a few sticks.
"I'll recruit! I'll recruit anything!"
Du Qing dragged Zhou Wen back into the house and threw him on the ground. Zhou Wen was honest now and killed him all.
"Your Highness, this servant realizes his mistake. Please give him a chance to change his ways!"
Li Jingxing sneered: "You have already wasted your opportunity. Du Qing, send the person to Jingzhao Mansion and let Mr. Fu Yin handle it impartially. Also, check if there are any other victims and deal with it together."
Du Qing said excitedly: "Yes!"
At this time, Zhou Ji hurriedly ran in, knelt on the ground as soon as he entered the room, and played the emotional card with tears streaming down his face.
"Your Highness, for the sake of your Majesty, please spare him this time."
Li Jingxing didn't want to waste any more time on the father and son who were repaying their kindness with each other, so he said to the housekeeper on the side: "Check the accounts of Zhou Ji's men, and if there are any problems, hand them over to Jingzhao Mansion for handling."
Zhou Ji's crying stopped suddenly. Why did the fire burn him?
"Your Highness! Your Highness! The old slave is the brother of His Highness's biological mother. Your Highness cannot treat the old slave like this!"
Zhou Ji and Zhou Wen were both dragged away by the guards. The whole family wept with joy and kept kowtowing to Li Jingxing.
Li Jingxing said with a guilty look on his face: "Please get up, you three. Speaking of which, it was Gu's poor discipline that allowed him to bully the people in Gu's name. It was Gu who couldn't stand up to you and those innocent women from good families who he had tarnished." .”
Juzi saw that Li Jingxing was not only fair and strict, but also self-reflective. Having such a prince was a blessing to the Jin Dynasty and a blessing to the people of Li. He immediately decided to serve Li Jingxing sincerely.
He bowed to Li Jingxing and said: "The common people are willing to follow His Highness for the rest of their lives, no matter how much they are hurt!"
Li Jingxing saw his sincere words and knew that he was sincerely convinced this time, and felt extremely proud.
"Don't worry, you look like a scholar, but do you plan to participate in the Spring Festival next year?"
Juzi nodded and said, "The common people do have this plan."
His plan is to pass the imperial examination and become an official. It would be better if the prince could allow him to take the imperial examination.
"Then prepare for the exam with peace of mind. When you become the pillar of the country, it will be the best reward for you." Li Jingxing said sincerely.
He is not worried at all that the other party will betray his trust. This kind of scholar pays attention to repaying kindness. When the other party holds an important position in the future, it will be more helpful to him.
Juzi raised his head and looked at Li Jingxing with burning eyes, he was so moved that he couldn't be more moved.
With the prince's noble character, it would be unbearable if he could not succeed to the throne in the future!
Chiyang ate a meal of melon, which was beyond her expectation. If the pain of being pierced by thousands of arrows in her previous life was not still vivid in her memory, she would almost doubt whether she was dreaming.
Li Jingxing chatted with Na Juzi for a few more words before ordering his family to be sent home. After that, he looked at Chiyang, whose eyes were dull, and said with a half-smile, "Princess, it's getting late."
The implication is that it's time to go to the bridal chamber.
Chiyang came to his senses in a daze, put on a very forced smile, and kindly reminded: "Your Highness, don't you have anything else to deal with?"
[Short-lived ghost, have you forgotten your sweetheart? Although she has moved on to another relationship now, you still have to lick what you should lick! 】
Li Jingxing automatically ignored those insulting comments without important information.
Seeing Chi Yangman's unwillingness, he suddenly felt bad, and stretched out his right arm to hold Chi Yang's weak and boneless hand.
"Hurry up."
Chiyang turned his head in shock, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.
Li Jingxing successfully captured the fleeting light, and his eyes instantly became dark.
Back in the bedroom, Chiyang was a little embarrassed and hesitated: "Can I discuss something with His Highness?"
She originally wanted to wait for Li Jingxing to speak on his own, so that she could have the upper hand to make demands, but Li Jingxing was still reluctant to speak, and he still had the idea of consummating the marriage with her. She couldn't wait any longer, so she had to make the decision.
Li Jingxing said casually while undressing, "What's the matter?"
Along the way, he was "listening" to Chiyang's struggle to tell him whether to accept or compete for favor, so he could guess what Chiyang wanted to say with his toes.
Chiyang wrung his fingers uneasily and hesitated: "I know that Your Highness has no choice but to marry me. I don't dare to cause more trouble to His Highness, so I want to be a nominal couple with Your Highness."
Li Jingxing was almost sober now and had long lost the urge to dare. He calmly passed the test on the way back. If he used force on Chiyang, it would probably be counterproductive and make Chiyang resent him even more.
After thinking again and again, he decided to wait until Chiyang was willing to consummate the marriage.
However, we still have to sleep together.
He put his long arms around Chiyang and fell on the bed, holding her tightly in his arms, and said softly: "It's too late, just sleep like this."
Seeing that he didn't make any more movements, Chiyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was not used to it but tolerated it.
[Dogs are somewhat humane. 】
Li Jingxing was already sleepy, but when he heard her scolding himself again in his mind, he pinched his buttocks to vent his anger, but he unexpectedly experienced the amazing softness.
Chiyang froze. He didn't dare to get angry and could only complain dissatisfiedly.
"Your Highness, it hurts."
Li Jingxing was a little distracted at the moment. Hearing her cry out in pain, an evil fire suddenly appeared in his lower abdomen, and then his body began to change.
He was not a eunuch, and with the soft fragrance of soft jade in his arms, it was impossible for him to not react at all.
Although Chiyang never ate pork in his last life, he had read countless stories and knew everything he needed to know.
Ugh, this is embarrassing.
[Damn it, this bitch actually reacted to this girl. He didn’t want to forcefully circle and cross her, no! I'm still waiting for reconciliation! 】
