Chapter 551: Chapter 553: Visiting Them
The Emperor showed no signs of waking, and Shao He stepped forward to hold him, “Have everyone leave, let Ah Mo take Qingxia to Anji Hall to get the instrunts; I need to examine The Emperor.”
“Okay,” Pei Huaian imdiately instructed Ah Mo to go.
…
The sky was filled with dark clouds, and the wind howled.
Lightning flashed, and rain poured down in torrents.
After several days of recuperation, Pei Jingyi’s health had improved, but his temper had beco more volatile, and even his Principal Wife Tao Min could not avoid it.
Upon learning of The Emperor’s sudden collapse, he was not at all anxious but instead looked up and laughed loudly, “Collapsing is good, collapsing is good!”
“Fourth Prince, you shouldn’t say such things!” A guard quickly reminded him in fright.
Pei Jingyi said carelessly, “It doesn’t matter. Who cares about this prince now? I am but a useless person!”
The guard hesitated, unsure if he should speak. Seeing his expression, Pei Jingyi knew he had sothing to say, “What else is it? Speak!”
“Subordinate heard, the reason The Emperor collapsed is that the investigation the Minister of Justice conducted regarding master had results.”
Pei Jingyi beca tense, rushed forward in a flash, grabbed the guard’s clothing, and questioned, “Who is it? Is it Pei Huaian?”
The guard shook his head, “It’s the Second Prince.”
“What, how could it be him? No, that’s not right!”
Pei Jingyi suddenly let go, taking two steps back, “There must be so mistake, Pei Chengye wouldn’t do this! His enemy should be Pei Huaian. How could he dare to move against ? It’s absolutely impossible it was him!”
“Master, now the evidence is conclusive, it indeed was the Second Prince’s doing,” said the guard.
Pei Jingyi slumped on the edge of the bed, muttering to himself, “That’s not right, the person he hates the most should not be , why would he do this?”
The guard continued to speak, but Pei Jingyi interrupted him directly, “Prepare the carriage, to the Second Prince’s Mansion.”
“Yes.”
The carriage rushed towards the Second Prince’s Mansion.
The guards at the entrance of the Second Prince’s Mansion felt a sense of foreboding when they saw the carriage speeding towards them.
Pei Jingyi stepped out of the carriage, a picture of murderous intent.
“Greetings, Fourth Prince.”
Pei Jingyi didn’t even acknowledge them, and was about to burst in, when a guard reached out to stop him.
“Please hold, Fourth Prince.”
“Out of my way!” shouted Pei Jingyi loudly.
A guard holding an umbrella advised, “Master, calm down. Perhaps let them report first.”
“Report? Report what bullshit! Today, I want to see who dares to stop ?”
Pei Jingyi kicked the guard in front of him and rushed in recklessly.
Inside the mansion, Pei Chengye took pleasure in watching the woman kneeling before him, “Does it hurt that much?”
Jiang Zhou clenched her teeth and endured. She was long accustod to being beaten severely, and at this mont, she couldn’t feel any pain at all.
Displeased by her silence, Pei Chengye said, “Oh, I forgot how hard-mouthed you are.”
Just as he was about to continue, a figure burst in and landed a heavy punch on him.
Caught off guard, Pei Chengye was struck hard, falling to the ground with a bloody nose and a head so dizzy he couldn’t imdiately stand.
When he finally got his senses back, burning with rage, he pointed at the shadowy figure, “Who is it? Who dares to sneak attack this prince!”
“Heh, you thing worse than a pig or dog, you truly deserve to die!” Pei Jingyi’s eyes were bloodshot as he spoke through clenched teeth.
As he recognized the newcor, lying on the ground he began to laugh, “Hahaha, so it’s my little brother, isn’t it? Long ti no see. What brings you to visit today?”
“You still have the face to ask? Was it you, you…”
Pei Jingyi struggled to finish his sentence.
Supporting himself off the ground, Pei Chengye spoke flippantly, “I what? Why did you stop speaking, little brother?”
“Was it you who sent people? Why?” Pei Jingyi said hatefully.
Pei Chengye put on an innocent face, “Little brother, what are you talking about? I don’t understand a word?”
“Stop playing the fool here, the Minister of Justice has already uncovered everything. You still dare to argue?” Pei Jingyi was nearly exploding with anger, trembling all over.
With a shrug, Pei Chengye said nonchalantly, “All of this is your own doing. I was rely returning the favor. After all, it’s the karma you’ve invited upon yourself!”
“Nonsense, when have I ever moved against you?”
One by one, Pei Chengye stripped off his outer clothes until his upper body was bare, the whip marks all the more visible, so wounds still unhealed.
“What does this have to do with ?” said Pei Jingyi, stunned.
Pei Chengye’s gaze darkened as he looked at him, “The daily whippings I suffer are thanks to you! Wouldn’t it be fitting for to send you a generous gift?”
Only then did Pei Jingyi rember, to clear himself previously, Xia Zhaoshun had blad everything on Pei Chengye, resulting in punishnt from The Emperor.
“That was all Xia Zhaoshun’s doing. If you wanted to take revenge, it should have been against him, but you – you actually…”
“Turned you into a eunuch? My intent was for you to live a life like mine, barred from the throne forever, to see how you could still laugh at ,” said Pei Chengye.
Laughing, Pei Chengye continued, “No, no— to endure a fate even more wretched than mine. Ah haha!”
Unable to suppress his fury, Pei Jingyi charged, unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks.
The guards rushed over, pulling at him, “Master, please be calm.”
