In the capital, even a child knows that the wise king is a person who must not be offended. He is like a Shura. Anyone who offends him will have a good end.
The wise king's name is Liu He, the youngest son of the late emperor and the half-brother of the current emperor. Because his mother-in-law was the late emperor's favorite concubine, he was deeply favored since childhood.
Although he is a virtuous king, his character has nothing to do with the word "virtuous", and is even completely opposite.
It is said that when he was traveling, a beggar had his leg broken because he just blocked the road.
I heard that a man and a woman had their tongues cut out after they made a few comments about him.
It is said that he beat an admonisher in public in the court because he was found guilty.
…
The reputation of the wise king is so cruel that it can stop a child from crying and make everyone in the capital tremble.
Now, Hu Miaomiao bumped into him. If things go wrong, even they will suffer disaster.
When one of the losers knelt down, the others quickly knelt down and lowered their heads, for fear of being recognized by the wise king and causing harm to the family.
The wise king's eyes were sinister, and he swept around their bodies. Although he didn't say a word, the cruel and unkind aura was like a towering mountain, weighing heavily on everyone's heads.
He wants to kill someone!
Everyone's hair stood on end, as if there was a big knife hanging above their heads, and they didn't know when it would be chopped off.
By then, the ground will be stained with blood.
When he saw the person clearly, Dong Yuankai was also startled. He changed his arrogance just now, his knees softened and he almost knelt down.
He pushed the woman on him away, licked his smile and said, "King..."
"Who asked you to speak?"
The wise king gave him a cold look, as if he was looking at a puddle of mud.
The next moment, a guard came forward and slapped Dong Yuankai hard.
"Your Majesty hasn't asked any questions yet, so how can you say anything?"
Dong Yuankai's pupils were slightly dilated. Even though he was greatly insulted, he remained silent and even lowered his head deeply, lest the wise king could see the resentment in his eyes.
At this time, King Xian finally laid his eyes on Hu Miaomiao and asked lightly: "Are you Hu Weiyong's daughter?"
Hu Miaomiao trembled all over, like a small animal encountering a natural enemy. In extreme panic, she did not reply for a moment.
Because she didn't reply, the others were frightened to death.
"Huh?" This voice was lazy and casual, but it made people shudder.
Hu Miaomiao's body went limp, then he knelt down and said in a panic: "I have met the prince, my father is Hu Weiyong."
"Hu Weiyong looks ordinary, but he gave birth to a good daughter."
The Xian Wang raised her chin and glanced at her lightly, with an inexplicable dark color flashing in his eyes.
The look in his eyes was so terrifying that Hu Miaomiao didn't dare to look at him at all. Her lips pursed and she couldn't say a single word for a long time.
Soon, the wise king no longer cared about her appearance, took out his handkerchief, wiped his fingertips, and asked with interest: "Why were you laughing just now?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone became even more silent, and no one dared to be the first to reply.
"Are you mute?"
The corners of Xian Wang's mouth curled up slightly, as if he was asking what the weather was like today, but anyone who thought he was in a good mood was really stupid.
Dong Yuankai felt guilty and secretly winked at Hu Miaomiao to tell her not to talk nonsense.
Unexpectedly, his eyes also fell into the eyes of the wise king.
"Jin Zhong, gouged out his eyes."
Everyone was horrified. They didn't expect that he would dig out his eyes if he disagreed. After all, Dong Yuankai was also the eldest son of the Hou family.
Dong Yuankai was even more horrified, "My lord, this is all a misunderstanding!"
Liu Piaopiao had also heard of King Xian's reputation for cruelty. She was also afraid, but she was even more afraid that Dong Yuankai's eyes would really be gouged out.
So, Liu Piaopiang pleaded without thinking: "Your Majesty, we are born with loud voices. We really don't mean to offend. Please be gentle, Your Majesty!"
While speaking, Liu Piaopiao nodded slightly, revealing a large section of her fair neck.
However, she overestimated her own charm.
The wise king showed disgust and cursed: "Who do you think you are, how dare you seduce me?"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Piaopiao was very shocked. She never expected that he would react like this.
Dong Yuankai glared angrily, but he didn't expect that she was so coquettish that she even dared to seduce the ruthless King Xian?
The next moment, the guard slapped Liu Piaopiao so hard that one of her teeth was knocked out and her mouth was filled with blood.
Jin Zhong did not let Dong Yuankai go, slapping them left and right, as if training a dog.
For a moment, a low "pop" sound sounded in the room, accompanied by bursts of screams.
Others hunched their shoulders and pretended not to have seen him, for fear of being affected.
Sure enough, the wise king's reputation for violence was not unfounded. He really dared to do whatever he wanted under the blue sky and white sun.
"Now, can anyone answer my question? What were you laughing at just now?"
Hu Miaomiao turned pale and said, "Your Majesty, I overestimated my ability and came to Mr. Dong for help, which made people laugh."
"My lord, please be noble and let them go."
The Xian Wang knew about Hu Weiyong's impeachment and guessed her intention to come to Dong Yuankai, but he did not expect that she would intercede for the two of them.
At this time, the wise king also became interested, "They ridiculed you, and you still begged for them. Aren't you afraid of offending me?"
Hu Miaomiao was naturally afraid, but this incident was caused by him. If Dong Yuankai's eyes were gouged out, he would really have trouble sleeping and eating for the rest of his life.
"Justice comes from the heart. I believe that the prince is not an unreasonable person."
The wise king paused and then laughed, as if he had heard a big joke.
But while he was smiling, the others did not dare to relax, and instead became even more afraid.
Hu Miaomiao wanted to ask him what he was laughing at, but she was not stupid and did not ask.
The wise king saw her thoughts and said bluntly: "You guessed wrong, I am really an unreasonable person!"
"ah?"
Hu Miaomiao was dumbfounded. She didn't expect him to admit it, and she hesitated several times.
Her expression was so lively and interesting that it made the wise king smile lightly and think about something different.
It turns out that the old-fashioned Hu Weiyong has such an innocent and kind-hearted daughter, who is like a piece of pure white paper that makes people want to smear it.
The wise king is in his twenties and does not even have a single maid in his house. This is the first time he has become interested in a woman.
It's not a bad feeling, though.
If I remember correctly, she seems to be engaged to Dong Yuankai, and the feeling of winning someone's love is really good.
At this moment, the wise king understood why there are always people who love to steal other people's wives.
"Since Miss Hu begs for mercy, I will spare you for now, get out!"
Everyone looked at the Xian Wang carefully and saw that he didn't seem to be joking, so they quickly escaped, fearing that he would regret it if it was too late.
At this time, Dong Yuankai and Liu Piaopiao were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. Several teeth were lost and their mouths were full of blood.
But they didn't hesitate for a second and staggered away.
In this way, only Xian Wang and Hu Miaomiao were left in the room.
