The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 91 The Prince Refuses

In the Marquis' Mansion, Yunxi's eyebrows were almost twisted together. She walked back and forth in the room with quick steps, muttering something.

As for the prince, he sat steadily at the table, his thick eyebrows tightly furrowed, like two caterpillars.

"Your Highness, if we fail to win over the prince this time, he will definitely not let us go easily. We must be more cautious and careful in dealing with him from now on."

Yunxi suddenly stopped, stared at the prince, and said anxiously.

The prince nodded slightly, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, "This prince knows very well in his heart. No matter what, the words of loyalty and righteousness will not be abandoned by this prince no matter what."

At this moment, the guard's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Highness, the prince has sent someone again."

When the prince heard this, he stood up immediately, and Yunxi quickly followed him. The two of them walked quickly towards the front hall.

When I arrived at the front hall, I saw a man dressed as a eunuch, with his chin raised high, his eyes narrowed, and he shouted in a shrill voice: "Your Highness, the prince invites you."

The prince glared at the eunuch, put his hands behind his back, and said loudly: "This prince has made it clear that he will not get involved in the prince's affairs. Please report back to the prince."

The eunuch's expression changed. "Your Highness, this is the prince's order. It would be inappropriate for you to refuse like this."

The eunuch had a pointed face and monkey cheeks to begin with, and his expression became grim, the flesh on his cheeks trembled a few times, and his pair of green bean eyes were wide open, looking like a mouse with its tail stepped on.

The prince's eyes were firm, like a towering mountain, motionless. "Please return, eunuch. I have made up my mind."

The prince straightened his back, his broad shoulders seemed able to carry a thousand-pound burden, his eyes were bright and revealed an unquestionable light.

The eunuch snorted coldly, shook his sleeves, and muttered obscenely: "Hmph, you ungrateful thing, you will regret it one day!"

After saying that, he took small steps, twisted his butt, and left angrily.

Yunxi watched the eunuch's departing back, her brows knitted into a big knot, the wrinkles on her forehead becoming even deeper, and she said worriedly, "Your Highness, I'm afraid we've completely offended the prince this time."

Yunxi kept rubbing the corners of her clothes with her hands, her eyes full of anxiety.

The prince held Yunxi's hand. His palm was broad and warm, giving him endless strength. "Don't be afraid. I am upright and have no regrets."

The prince's voice was steady and powerful, as if it could penetrate all the fog.

A few days later, in the palace.

The prince's face was gloomy, like the sky on a summer day before a thunderstorm, so dark it looked like ink dripping out. He said to his advisors, "This damned prince dared to reject me so many times."

The prince gritted his teeth, almost breaking them.

The counselor hunched over, lowered his head, and said cautiously, "Prince, why don't we find another way to put pressure on them?"

The counselor looked like a timid quail.

The prince slammed the table, "Pressure? He won't budge, what else can I do?" With this slam, the teacups on the table jumped a few times, and the tea splashed out.

At this time, a palace maid came to announce: "Prince, the Queen Mother invites you."

The prince frowned, his brows twisted into a "川" shape, waved his hand impatiently, and stood up to go to the queen's bedroom.

The queen sat upright on the couch, dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking elegant and graceful. She raised her eyes slightly, glanced at the prince, and said, "I heard that you tried to win over the prince?"

The prince lowered his head and said, "Mother, that prince doesn't know what's good for him." The prince's head drooped even lower, like a child who had done something wrong.

The queen snorted lightly, "How can you accomplish anything if you are so anxious?" The queen's face was as cold as ice, and her eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

The prince hurriedly said, "I know I was wrong."

The Queen glanced at him and said, "This matter requires long-term consideration and should not be rushed."

The prince responded, "Yes, mother."

Meanwhile, back at the Marquis's residence, the prince was conferring with several loyal officials in the study. He sat upright in the main seat, his brow furrowed, his gaze deep and resolute.

Several ministers sat around, all with serious expressions.

"Your Highness, the prince is very powerful now, we must be careful." A minister with gray hair and a goatee said worriedly. He stroked his beard as he spoke, his brows twisted into a knot.

The prince nodded and glanced at everyone, "Don't worry, I will not let him succeed.

That prince has evil intentions and is trying to cover up everything. I will never allow him to do anything like that." As the prince spoke, his fists unconsciously clenched.

At this time, the housekeeper came running in in a panic, panting, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Your Highness, this is bad. Many soldiers have come outside and surrounded the Marquis's residence."

When the prince heard this, his expression became stern. "Let's go out and take a look." After that, he stood up suddenly and strode out. Several ministers followed closely behind him.

Arriving at the gate of the mansion, he saw a general in heavy armor and with a face full of flesh standing there. He said in a high and arrogant voice: "Your Highness, I have been ordered by the prince to search the mansion."

The prince shouted angrily: "How dare you! You can't search the Marquis's Mansion at will." The prince widened his eyes, his eyes full of anger, and that look seemed to be able to pierce people.

The general sneered, "Your Highness, I'm sorry." The flesh on the general's face trembled with the sneer, revealing a sense of arrogance.

As he said this, he was about to bring people to break in by force.

At this moment, Yunxi arrived with everyone in the mansion. Yunxi was dressed in a blue brocade robe, looking heroic, with raised eyebrows and wide eyes. "Let's see who dares."

The general glanced at Yunxi and curled his lips. "This is the prince's order. No one can stop it."

Yunxi did not flinch, but stepped forward, pointed at the general's nose and cursed, "Aren't you afraid of the emperor's blame for your reckless behavior?

You guys are so arrogant and domineering, you always show off your power, and now you dare to offend the Marquis' Mansion."

The general hesitated for a moment, a trace of fear flashing across his face, but remembering the prince's order, he steeled himself and said, "Stop talking nonsense, and attack!"

In an instant, the officers and soldiers rushed into the mansion like wolves and tigers. The mansion was immediately in chaos. The officers and soldiers smashed everything they saw and rummaged through the cabinets. Books and paintings were thrown all over the floor, and vases and porcelain were broken all over the yard.

The prince was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at the officers and soldiers and roared, "Stop, you lawless people."

But the officers and soldiers refused to listen and continued to act recklessly.

The prince was furious, "It's simply lawless."

Yunxi consoled him, "Your Highness, please be patient for now. Once we get to the bottom of this matter, we will definitely not let them off easy."

Yunxi frowned, her hands tightly grasping the prince's arm, her eyes filled with determination and courage: "Prince, we are not afraid of them. These bastards won't last long."

After a search, the officers and soldiers found nothing and left in disappointment.

The prince looked at the backs of the officers and soldiers who were leaving, his teeth clenched in anger, his cheeks puffed up, and he shouted angrily, "This prince is going too far."

Yunxi hurried to the prince's side, her eyes full of worry: "Prince, we have to find a way to deal with it."

At night, in the prince's study.

The prince and Yunxi sat opposite each other. The candlelight in the room flickered, making the prince's face appear bright and dim.

"Your Highness, why don't we go to the palace and tell the emperor about this matter?" Yunxi said anxiously, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

The prince frowned and paced back and forth in the room. After a moment of deep thought, he slowly spoke: "This matter requires further consideration. If we rush into the palace, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."

Yunxi bit her lip and nodded: "Then what should we do next?"

The prince stood up suddenly, put his hands on his hips, and said loudly: "Let's see what the prince will do next."

In the next few days, there were still soldiers and officers monitoring outside the Marquis's mansion.

Yunxi paced back and forth in the mansion, looking outside from time to time, muttering, "Being watched every day is really not a good thing."

The prince held secret meetings with his ministers every day. The ministers all had serious expressions and huddled together, whispering quietly.

On this day, the prince received a secret letter and his face changed drastically after reading it.

Yunxi was packing up her things nearby. Seeing the prince's expression, her heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly asked, "Prince, what happened?"

The prince was so angry that he slammed the letter on the table, his hands trembling slightly: "The prince slandered me before the emperor, saying that I was plotting rebellion."

Yunxi's eyes widened in shock, "What should I do?"

The prince took a deep breath and said, "It seems that we can no longer sit and wait for death."
