Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Lord Huang heard this, his expression darkened.
Marquis Yongye really was an executioner who killed without batting an eyelid.
How many lives had he taken before?!
However, His Majesty trusted him.
Could it be that His Majesty had forgotten that General Bai had brought this youth back from the Yaoxia Kingdom?!
Wasn’t His Majesty afraid that he was a spy?!
Just as Lord Huang was having a headache, his eldest son, Huang Changrui, quickly pushed open the door and entered.
“Father!” Huang Changrui looked a little flustered. “I heard that you sent someone to kidnap the princess. Is this true?”
He rushed in without care and asked loudly, causing Lord Huang to frown in dissatisfaction.
Lord Huang glanced at the hidden guard, who quickly closed the door.
“You fool, is this something good? Is it something to be announced so loudly?!”
Seeing that the bruises on Huang Changrui’s face had yet to fade, Lord Huang glanced at him. “Marquis Yongye is the same as you. He has two arms and two legs. How can you be beaten up to this extent by him? You’ve embarrassed me!”
Huang Changrui pursed his lips, feeling aggrieved and vexed. “Marquis Yongye is highly skilled in martial arts. Even more than ten guards in the residence couldn’t stop him. How can I be blamed?”
After saying that, he asked again, “Father, did you really get someone to kidnap the princess?”
Lord Huang glanced at him from the corner of his eye. “So what if I did?”
“You mustn’t! That Marquis Yongye is as ruthless as a demon. I heard that he’s best at investigating. Once he finds out that we were the ones who did this, I’ll definitely be beaten up again!”
Lord Huang was stunned.
He looked at his son’s frightened and uneasy expression and confirmed that he hadn’t heard wrongly.
Huang Changrui was not afraid that His Majesty would find out, but that Marquis Yongye would find out?
What was this?!
“Look at how useless you are!” Lord Huang scolded angrily. “It’s not like I’ll do anything after I get someone to kidnap the princess. I’ll just lock her up for a day and then let her go back. Only by making His Majesty worry will Marquis Yongye be punished!”
If the princess were to die, this matter would blow up.
Lord Huang didn’t want to do this.
“I see.” Huang Changrui heaved a sigh of relief and his expression softened a
lot. “Then… Did Father succeed?”
Lord Huang slammed the table. “What do you think?! If I had succeeded, you’d be able to hear the news that Marquis Yongye has been sent to prison, but he’s still fine!”
That meant that he didn’t succeed.
A trace of disappointment and frustration flashed across Huang Changrui’s eyes.
He started to have thoughts of backing off again,
“Father, why don’t we forget about this matter?! We can’t win against Marquis
Yongye. That Marquis Yongye is ruthless. Even if we beat him to death, His Majesty won’t blame him. Why should we fight him head-on?! Wouldn’t we be hitting a rock with an egg?”
Lord Huang looked at Huang Changrui in surprise.
“You useless thing. Someone pressed you to the ground, beat you up, and then asked you to roll on the streets. The entire capital knows about this, yet you actually want to let it go? You won’t care about your cousin’s four fingers that had been sliced off?”
Huang Changrui was a little embarrassed. “I was only beaten up. If I continue to fight with him, I might be the one with a broken finger next time!” When the hidden guard heard this, he vaguely understood.
The eldest young master was badly frightened after being beaten up.
Then how ruthless was Marquis Yongye and how much pain had he inflicted to make someone as vengeful as Huang Changrui choose to give up?
Lord Huang was furious.
He pointed at Huang Changrui. “You embarrassing thing, get out!”
Huang Changrui still wanted to mutter, “Father won’t listen to my advice.
Sooner or later…”
“Get out!”
Huang Changrui was chased away.
Lord Huang was so angry that his chest heaved.
It took him a long time to calm down. He picked up his brush and wrote a letter, asking the hidden guards to send it to Qing State.
Even if he couldn’t treat Marquis Yongye, couldn’t he call for reinforcements?!
