The corridor was silent. Solely the Crown Prince’s breath could possibly be heard. It sounded a little bit fast. A couple of booklets had been thrown to his aspect, and the jade crown on his head was askew. One booklet had simply hit his crown. Though it didn’t hit him within the face, he felt extraordinarily humiliated.
Pei Luo’an had by no means been so embarrassed earlier than. His face turned crimson.
He had been the Crown Prince for a very long time. Though his place because the Crown Prince was not safe, he had the benefit on the floor. He was the emperor’s eldest son, and nobody may object to him.
Nevertheless, the emperor simply threw the booklets at him due to Ji Hanyue’s dowry retailers. Pondering of the restrained smile on Pei Yusheng’s face simply now, Pei Luo’an couldn’t assist however really feel indignant. He clenched his fists underneath the sleeves. The garments’ threads rubbed his pores and skin, making him know that he was nonetheless kneeling within the corridor.

His eyes had been crammed with hatred and anger, however he suppressed his emotion and raised up his head to elucidate in a considerably panicked method, “Father, I actually didn’t imply to do that. I’ve been lacking the ex-Crown Princess nowadays. I used to be muddle-headed. How may I care about such a factor? It’s my negligence. I’ll discover out the reality.”
Sitting within the excessive seat, the emperor checked out Pei Luo’an with disappointment and requested, “Have you ever discovered it out now?”
This matter triggered an uproar. Everybody within the capital now knew that Pei Luo’an’s affection for the ex-Crown Princess was pretend. Maybe he had an affair with the Aspect Princess Ji lengthy earlier than, and that was why he let her occupy the ex-Crown Princess’ dowry.
If he was honest to the ex-Crown Princess, how may he ignore the ex-Crown Princess’ affairs?
The officers wrote all the things within the reviews. A few of them stated that the Crown Prince’s affection for the ex-Crown Princess was all pretense, and a few stated that the ex-Crown Princess may need been angered to dying by the Aspect Princess. Additionally they stated that the Crown Prince uncared for Earl Ling’an’s Mansion’s affairs, and he mustn’t let Earl Ling’an’s Mansion fall to this state if he actually beloved the ex-Crown Princess.
It was stated that the Aspect Princess had intervened within the dispute concerning Earl Ling’an’s Mansion’s title as a result of she needed her elder brother to inherit the title however not the younger grasp of the mansion, who was simply her youthful brother born by a concubine.
The extra individuals talked about one thing, the extra the factor gave the impression to be true.
Many of the officers knew that the ex-Crown Princess died of great accidents after blocking the murderer’s assault for the Crown Prince.
If the Crown Prince was actually not grateful to the ex-Crown Princess and introduced a lady who had an affair with him into the mansion, who was additionally the ex-Crown Princess’ cousin sister, the ex-Crown Princess have to be heartbreaking. Even when the ex-Crown Princess was wholesome, she may not be capable of stand up to it, to not point out that she was critically unwell at the moment. She may need been angered to dying.
In spite of everything, the second department that Aspect Princess Ji was in gave the impression to be the beneficiary of the ex-Crown Princess’ dying.
“Father, I’ll undoubtedly examine this matter totally. She may not imply to occupy the ex-Crown Princess’ dowry. Maybe she was busy with the issues of Japanese Palace and Earl Ling’an’s Mansion for some time, so she didn’t have the time to return this stuff. Father, please relaxation assured. If she actually did it on function, I cannot spare her.”
The Crown Prince closely kowtowed thrice, his face filled with anger. It appeared that he would present no mercy to Ji Youran.
Pei Yuanjun seemed on the Crown Prince. He stood in entrance of all the opposite generals, dealing with the Crown Prince. All the opposite officers within the courtroom lowered their heads in panic. Even Lord Jing and Lord Yan, who additionally wrote reviews to cost the Crown Prince, lowered their heads, afraid that the emperor would vent his anger on them.
They didn’t even dare to make any noise.
Solely Pei Yuanjun checked out Pei Luo’an with an enormous smile on his good-looking face, wanting presumptuous and fearless.
The emperor glanced at Pei Yuanjun as if he didn’t see the disrespect within the latter’s eyes for the Crown Prince. He nonetheless fastened his eyes on the Crown Prince and stated, “Nicely, properly. Then go and examine. Whether it is actually the case, you don’t should hold this Aspect Princess. The royal household doesn’t need such a vicious lady.”
“Sure, father!” Pei Luo’an secretly wiped away his chilly sweat. Fortuitously, Ji Youran was succesful. She had handled many of the issues yesterday. Now, she solely wanted to return the movable belongings. Within the subsequent two days, she would tidy up the belongings and return the dowry in entrance of everybody within the capital.
His place because the Crown Prince was shaken due to some monetary issues. He thought he ought to actually educate Ji Youran a lesson this time.
The corridor was quiet once more. The emperor sitting on the highest was silent, and nobody spoke beneath. Pei Yuanjun raised his eyes to have a look at the emperor, who was sitting in a excessive place, and noticed that the emperor checked out him with a little bit of scrutiny. Then, he smiled and seemed away.
A eunuch shouted, “The courtroom is dismissed!”
After the emperor left with a gaggle of eunuchs, the ambiance within the corridor eased a little bit. Some officers who had been on the Crown Prince’s aspect hurried to assist the Crown Prince up.
Pei Luo’an’s legs had been nonetheless trembling. He held an minister’s hand and stood up. His face was furious as he checked out Pei Yusheng, who was standing on the aspect with gloomy eyes.
Seeing that Pei Luo’an was him, Pei Yusheng walked over and stated with concern, “Your Highness, are your legs sore? Please have a relaxation earlier than you allow.”
“My legs are usually not sore, however my palms are a little bit sore due to overreaching.” Pei Luo’an sneered and pushed away Pei Yusheng’s hand.
The rationale why the officers dared to report back to criticize Pei Luo’an was principally due to Pei Yusheng. Now, Pei Yusheng was pretending, which made Pei Luo’an indignant.
“Your Highness, why did you say this?” Pei Yusheng was stunned.
Pei Luo’an stated coldly, “Lord Jing, I heard that you will marry a woman from Vice Minister Qu’s Mansion.”
The smile on Pei Yusheng’s face froze. He may hardly proceed to make a smile, however then he smiled once more and shook his sleeves, “Your Highness, I’m afraid you misheard.”
After saying that, he circled and left. He didn’t wish to speak about Qu Qiuyan right here. It was nearly a concubine. How may such a trifle be mentioned right here? If the emperor knew in regards to the matter, it could be one other proof of him being a frivolous man.
He was blissful to see Pei Luo’an’s popularity broken.
There have been certainly a few of his individuals who accused the Crown Prince, however there have been additionally some neutral Imperial Censors. Pei Luo’an didn’t have good morality, which was why so many individuals criticized him and mentioned it to this extent. Pei Yusheng felt that he had nothing to do with this matter.
Pei Luo’an seemed coldly at Pei Yusheng’s again and sneered in his coronary heart. Pei Yusheng should have added gas to the flame.
He knew whom Pei Yusheng appreciated!
“Crown Prince, do you want to examine it at present?” A transparent voice got here behind Pei Luo’an. It was Lord Yun.
Pei Luo’an took a deep breath to calm himself. Then, he circled and tried to look calm. He checked out Pei Yuanjun and stated, “Sure, Uncle Yun. I’ve to bother you.”
“Then let’s go!” Pei Yuanjun nodded, waved his sleeves, and walked out. Pei Luo’an hurriedly adopted him. His standing was increased than Pei Yuanjun, however by way of seniority, he was the junior. Most significantly, Pei Yuanjun was extremely regarded by the emperor, so he needed to respect him.
The 2 of them walked out of the palace collectively and boarded their very own carriage. The 2 giant carriages drove in direction of the Crown Prince’s Japanese Palace.
The 2 carriages arrived at Japanese Palace, and the Crown Prince’s carriage stopped first. Pei Luo’an acquired off the carriage, solely to see Ji Youran strolling over with just a few maids. “Greetings, Your Highness!”
On the sight of Ji Youran, Pei Luo’an’s face darkened as he recalled the humiliation he had suffered within the courtroom simply now.
“Your Highness, I’ve ready some pastries. I made them within the kitchen myself. Please have a style.” Ji Youran stated coquettishly. She checked out Pei Luo’an affectionately as if she had solely Pei Luo’an in her eyes. Pei Luo’an’s determine may even be mirrored in her eyes.
He was happy along with her devotion to him, and he felt that Ji Youran was wholeheartedly dedicated to him. Although he didn’t promise her something at the moment, she nonetheless admired him wholeheartedly. Though Ji Youran was not as lovely as Ji Hanyue, her love for him was deeper and gentler.
However her tender love for him had grow to be considerably polluted. Pei Luo’an’s gaze fell on Ji Youran, carrying a little bit of coldness.
“Your Highness, it was all my fault, however I’ve handled all the things now. Your Highness, I gained’t make such errors sooner or later.” Ji Youran’s eyes had been crimson, and a drop of tear slowly fell down from her truthful and tender cheeks. She was as lovely as jade, carrying shyness and unspeakable ache, and he or she blamed all the things on herself with out hesitation.
Pei Luo’an’s expression softened as he noticed Ji Youran act like this. Simply as he was about to say one thing, a gust of wind blew previous him, lifting up Ji Youran’s hair and revealing a scar on Ji Youran’s face. The scar made Ji Youran look uglier.
Pei Luo’an’s eyes narrowed, not solely as a result of he noticed Ji Youran’s ugly face but additionally as a result of he heard Pei Yuanjun’s phrases. “Crown Prince, it seems that you just like this type of lady. Your style… could be very distinctive!”
Pei Luo’an and Ji Youran each heard Pei Yuanjun’s phrases that carried a little bit of blatant mockery. Ji Youran rapidly pressed down her hair that was blown up, and her face turned pale. She was so embarrassed that she couldn’t even elevate her head to have a look at Pei Luo’an. She didn’t need Pei Luo’an to see it probably the most.
Her scar was as a consequence of Ji Hanyue’s scratch at the moment. When she was about to get well, she by chance took Yu’s drugs, so the scar swelled up once more, and the restoration slowed down. She hadn’t recovered but, and he or she generally felt ache due to the scar, which reminded her of the scene when Ji Hanyue died that day.
Pei Luo’an’s face additionally darkened. He was the Crown Prince, but he was stated to love an unsightly lady. How may he not really feel ashamed?
Ji Youran was actually ugly. Even when the Crown Prince’s Aspect Princess didn’t have to be a peerless magnificence, she should not have a scar on her face…
