The blistering pain in his hand grew more intense, and beads of sweat on the Fourth Prince’s forehead trickled down, contorting his face in agony.
"W-War Prince, what is this... all about?" The opponent was clearly avenging him, and for a mont, the Fourth Prince’s pain was worse than death, the severe pain kept escalating.
"Why? Don’t you know better than why?" The War Prince replied with a counter-question. This guy actually dared to eye his woman, he’s been wanting to teach him a lesson for a long ti. Now that the perfect opportunity was in front of him, he’d be a fool not to take it.
Instantly, sweat soaked his clothes. At this mont, the Fourth Prince was extrely pained and wanted to call out, but his throat felt as if it was being choked, he couldn’t make a sound. Unfortunately, the guards around didn’t notice his abnormality, they even thought the War Prince was chatting with the Fourth Prince!
Indeed, the War Prince’s back happened to block the Fourth Prince’s head, so no one could see his contorted expression.
Just when the Fourth Prince thought he would die from pain, the War Prince finally released his hand and said coldly, "If there’s nothing important, the Fourth Prince should not co to pay respects to ."
With that, he didn’t glance at the pain-stricken Fourth Prince again, striding into the mansion, while ordering the guards at the gate, "Listen up, from now on, idle people are not allowed to casually enter the War Prince’s Mansion."
The idle person ntioned by the Prince, even a fool could hear, was the Fourth Prince!
The Fourth Prince’s face turned very somber. Good old Long Rui, dare to make him, the dignified Fourth Prince, co to the War Prince’s Mansion to pay respects? However, having just been taught a lesson by the War Prince, even if he was inwardly furious, he didn’t dare make a sound.
It’s always this way, the Fourth Prince cos eagerly but leaves looking like a defeated rooster.
"Damn Long Rui, sooner or later I’ll chop off his head." Looking at the hideous black bruise on his arm, the Fourth Prince gritted his teeth in hatred. Growing up, no one dared leave a mark on him, Long Rui was the first.
The Fourth Prince rolled up his sleeve, revealing the bruise.
The servant boy beside him was startled and quickly asked, "Fourth Prince, when did you get hurt? How did I not know?"
It was fine not to ntion, but the servant boy’s words ignited the Fourth Prince’s fury. He imdiately exploded, "I keep you useless bunch, at crucial monts, you’re of no use. I’m almost beaten to death, and here you stand leisurely, watching the fun."
"Does the Fourth Prince an it’s the War Prince’s doing?"
"Who else but him?"
His life was nearly in jeopardy and yet none of his guards noticed. What’s the use of such servants?
After this incident, the Fourth Prince decided that upon returning to the mansion, he would carefully select a batch of guards skilled in martial arts to stay by his side for protection.
The day’s events terrified him.
The Fourth Prince thoroughly hated the War Prince, considering him the number one enemy, sworn to avenge today’s grudge.
When the Empress learned what happened on the Fourth Prince’s wedding day, she was also shocked. The strategy was jointly devised by her and the Fourth Prince, believed to be infallible, yet not only did Situtu Xueer manage to escape, but both the Fourth Prince and Situtu Qinger faced retaliation.
Of course, the Fourth Prince’s situation was slightly better, having rely spent a night with a maid. In the Imperial Palace, for all adult princes, once they reach the Twentieth Year of a Man’s Life, it is customary to have chambermaids lie in wait to serve them.
Hence, spending a night with a maid cost the Fourth Prince nothing.
