The sound spread far and wide, filled with anger, and everyone in the capital heard it. Thats the voice of Prince Yunqing!
Whats happening? The Prince just called out the Prime Ministers name and even called him an animal. He told him to get out!
Could it be that theyve fallen out due to the Little Princesss reasons? They cant have such a huge conflict, can they?
Theyre not just having a conflict, theyre tearing each other apart!
I have a feeling that something big is happening!
Everyone eagerly watched the drama unfold. The groggy Little Princess was confused. What was wrong with her father? Why did he suddenly curse Lin Beifan and call him an animal Could it be that they were having a dispute? This couldnt happen!
The Little Princess was getting anxious. Father
Seeing his daughter looking so bewildered, Prince Yunqings heart ached even more. His anger flared up, and he said, Yunying, dont worry; Father will definitely help you seek justice! Even if hes the current Prime Minister, Father will make sure he pays the price he deserves!
Father, please dont! The Little Princess held onto Prince Yunqings arm, preventing him from acting recklessly.
Prince Yunqings heartache and anger intensified. His precious daughter had been harmed, and she was still trying to protect that scoundrel?
It was simply unreasonable!
That scoundrel must not be let off lightly!
Meanwhile, Lin Beifan, looking bewildered, walked into the scene. Whats going on here? Prince Yunqing, why did you just call me? What have I done to make you so angry?
He had just finished his work and was planning to freshen up before attending the morning court session. Unexpectedly, he encountered this situation, leaving him utterly baffled.
Seeing Lin Beifan looking so confused, Prince Yunqing became even angrier. He pointed at Lin Beifan and said, You still have the nerve to deny it? What have you done? Dont you understand?
Lin Beifan blinked in confusion. What have I done? I dont think Ive done anything.
He dares to deny it? Prince Yunqing was furious, trembling all over. You shameless scoundrel who eats and wipes clean without taking responsibility! Today, Ill teach you a lesson. Even if the Emperor blames me, Ill accept it!
Saying that, he raised his huge fist, as big as a cooking pot.
The Little Princess exclaimed, Dont!
Others also shouted, Dont!
Boom, boom
About ten seconds later, Lin Beifan emerged unharmed.
Prince Yunqing lay on the ground, bruised and swollen, wearing a bewildered expression. Who am I? Where am I? Why is everything like this? Standing beside him was an elderly monk with compassionate eyes.
Put down the butchers knife, and you can become a Buddha on the spot! Donor, as long as this humble monk is here, I wont let you harm my masters hair. Amitabha! the monk said with great kindness.
Lin Beifan spread his hands out in a helpless gesture and said, See, I told you not to resort to violence, but you wouldnt listen!
Prince Yunqing:
Father, how are you? Are you okay? The Little Princess hurriedly helped Prince Yunqing up, brushed off the dust on his body, and checked his injuries. She found that he had only suffered superficial wounds, which relieved her.
She scolded him, saying, Father, whats wrong with you? Why did you suddenly come to attack Lin Beifan? He doesnt seem to have offended you in any way!
Lin Beifan nodded repeatedly and said, Exactly!
Prince Yunqings anger flared up again. He hasnt offended me? My dear daughter, he has taken everything from you! How can I not be angry?
Taken everything from me? Lin Beifan blinked his eyes and said with a sense of grievance, Prince Yunqing, are you mistaken? Its your daughter, the Little Princess, who has taken everything from me. My home is practically empty!
The Little Princess recalled everything she had done in Lins Mansion and lowered her head with embarrassment. Hmm.
Prince Yunqing suffered another blow.
It turned out that his daughter had taken the initiative? Kids these days were really something!
But even if it was his daughter who took the initiative, it was unacceptable!
After all, in such matters, it was women who suffered! Prince Yunqing pulled his daughter behind him and said, Daughter, mind your own business! Today, Father is sparing this mans life for your sake. I will seek justice for you; otherwise, it would be in vain to be a father!
The Little Princess was angry. Enough, Father! Whats gotten into you today? Why are you acting like this? Lin Beifan hasnt offended you. Why do you want to hurt him? Hes my friend. If you hurt him, how am I supposed to face people in the future?
Seeing his daughter still defending that scoundrel, Prince Yunqing felt very distressed.
He wanted to hit him, but he couldnt bring himself to do it. He wanted to scold him, but he couldnt find the words. He sighed in helplessness, Alas! Father is doing this for you. Youve already given yourself to him, how can Father not be angry?
The Little Princess was puzzled, Lin Beifan was puzzled, and everyone present was puzzled!
The Little Princess had given herself to Lin Beifan?
Oh my!
This news was explosive!
No wonder Prince Yunqing was so angry; anyone would be!
Everyone looked at Lin Beifan with strange eyes.
Could it be true that Sir Lin?
Lin Beifan felt anxious. Why are you all looking at me like this? I am a chaste and virtuous man, a true gentleman who doesnt take advantage of others. I havent done anything!
The Little Princess cast a flickering glance at Lin Beifan and said angrily, Father, theres nothing like that. Please dont say such things!
Prince Yunqing was dumbfounded. Nothing like that? Didnt you just say that you slept in Lin Beifans bed?
Finally, after some explanations, the truth came to light.
The Little Princess had indeed passed out in Lin Beifans bed due to excessive drinking, but Li Shi Shi had stayed with her to take care of her. Lin Beifan, busy with official duties, hadnt returned home all night, so nothing had happened.
Prince Yunqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief; nothing had actually occurred.
However, seeing his obedient daughter and the affectionate exchange between her and Lin Beifan left him feeling uncomfortable. He beckoned to his daughter and said, Dear daughter, come back with Father!
Im not going back. Youve embarrassed me enough. I need to make amends to everyone! The Little Princess was not pleased.
Return with Father first, I have an important matter to discuss with you! Prince Yunqings face was stern.
Alright then! The Little Princess reluctantly waved her hand.
After returning to the Princes mansion, the Little Princess urged, Father, please tell me whats going on quickly. I still need to go back to make amends!
Yunying, from now on, stay away from Lin Beifan. Dont look for him anymore.
Why? The Little Princess became agitated. We are very good friends. Why cant I visit him?
Because he is a dangerous person! Prince Yunqing said with a serious expression. He is now the Prime Minister of the court and the Supreme Commander of the entire nation, with authority over tens of thousands. He holds a high position and great power, and he has already become a critical support for the imperial power.
If he were clean and righteous, it would be one thing, but he is incredibly corrupt! Prince Yunqing continued. His wealth is well known, and it wont be long before he loses his head because of it.
So, Father hopes that you will stay away from him. I dont want you to be involved with him, and I dont want you to suffer because of him!
The Little Princess continued to be agitated. But he has done many good things. Empress Sister wont harm him!
He has indeed done many good deeds, but they cannot make up for his mistakes! Prince Yunqing said. The reason the Empress tolerates him is solely because he has great talents and can handle important responsibilities. He has saved the Great Wu. But when he is no longer useful, his flaws will be exposed. A monarch is ruthless and will surely remove him!
The Little Princess became even more agitated. Then why didnt you stop this earlier? Why are you telling me now?
Because in the past, you had very few friends, so I wanted you to make more friends and have a happier and more joyful life. Your friendship with Lin Beifan didnt matter much because I was confident that I could protect you, and the Emperor wouldnt blame you for it. But now, its completely different
Prince Yunqing sighed helplessly. You clearly have feelings for Lin Beifan now. Father is afraid that youll be deeply entangled and unable to extricate yourself, harming both yourself and others. So, my dear daughter, forget about him. You are not a suitable match.
I wont! Ill go find Lin Beifan! The Little Princess shouted.
Bang!
The Little Princess closed her eyes and fainted.
Prince Yunqing caught her and gently laid her on the bed. He sighed helplessly, My dear daughter, Father is doing this for your own good. Even if you hate me, I must do it!
He walked out of the room and said to those around him, Take good care of the Little Princess. Shes not allowed to leave without my orders!
Yes, Your Highness!
Just then, an old eunuch arrived.
Your Highness, Her Majesty requests an audience!
Prince Yunqing bowed and smiled, Grand Eunuch, please wait for a moment. I will be there shortly.
Soon after, Prince Yunqing entered the imperial presence.
Greetings, Your Majesty, long live the Emperor! he said respectfully.
Uncle Yunqing, theres no need for formalities, the Empress said. I heard that you had a conflict with Prime Minister Lin at the Lin residence today.
Prince Yunqings heart skipped a beat; the recent incident had already reached the Empresss ears, and she was personally inquiring about it. The situation was unusual, and he needed to handle it carefully.
Your Majesty, its true. However, it was just a minor matter, and it has already been resolved. Your Majesty need not be concerned, Prince Yunqing replied with a bow.
The Empress shook her head. Uncle Yunqing, youre not being straightforward. Both of you are essential ministers of the court, and I dont want any conflicts between you. Tell me the details, dont hide anything. Do you understand?
Prince Yunqings face sweated profusely. Yes, Your Majesty, he replied, reluctant but resigned.
