Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 5191: Feeling Resentful
Chai Lingwu's words, which seemed to be intentional or unintentional, made Du He shudder. Although he didn't say anything, he quickly went over the past words and deeds of his own Princess Chengyang in his mind, trying to find some clues, but he found nothing for a while...

However, Princess Chengyang never said anything bad about Fang Jun, and even looked up to him. She often said to him, "Learn a lot from Fang Jun" and "A real man should be like this," which made Du He quite frightened.

But that may just be her longing for her husband. Who doesn't want her husband to become successful?

It may not be a private affair...

"Tell me, why did I hit Fang Er that time?"

Chai Lingwu was drunk and kept talking while drinking.

Du He recalled the past. In the past, the two of them were very good friends with Fang Jun. However, Fang Jun had a dull personality, was uneducated, and did not follow common sense, making him difficult to discipline. They always had conflicts and would fall out with each other after playing around.

It seemed that after getting drunk one time, Chai Lingwu proposed to teach Fang Jun a lesson so that he would remember it, but Fang Jun was extremely strong and they could not beat him, so they could only attack him from behind.

Unexpectedly, the brick picked up from the wall hit Fang Jun on the head, which made their fate completely different.

It's nothing that I've always been a noble playboy, but why did Fang Jun suddenly become wise after turning his head?

From then on, he not only had good handwriting and reading skills, but also could compose poetry, lyrics and essays. His ability to handle affairs was even repeatedly praised by Emperor Taizong. He single-handedly fought for the title of Duke of Yue, making the Fang family "Duke of two countries from one family", surpassing all the meritorious officials of the Zhenguan period in one fell swoop.

We agreed to be good friends together, why did you suddenly take off?

Seeing Chai Lingwu's depressed, complaining, and troubled look, Du He didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only say, "Now that things have come to this, what else can I do?"

What can I do even if I am dissatisfied with Fang Jun?

There is no way you can win the fight, no matter you fight alone or gather more people, you will only be crushed. The Grand Master turns a blind eye to this and the Emperor even ignores it. What else can you do except endure it?

Is it still possible to divorce?

The Tang princess not only brought shame, but also gave her a position of supreme honor and unparalleled benefits as a member of the royal family...

In a trance, he suddenly said, "Fortunately, it was you who hit him, not me."

Otherwise, wouldn't I be the one suffering endless shame?

"Ok?"

Chai Lingwu seemed to be drunk, but he had not lost his ability to think: "Are you gloating over someone else's misfortune?"

Du He regretted his words as soon as they came out of his mouth, and hurriedly explained: "How is it possible? I am advising you to be more open-minded. Although Princess Baling's incident has brought shame to you, if it weren't for Princess Baling's plea, you two brothers would have been confiscated and exterminated for treason. Even if Princess Baling is wrong in many ways, she has done her utmost to treat your Chai family. In addition, your brother has been exiled to Hanhai, but now he claims to be sick and wants to go back to Beijing for recuperation and refuses to go back. If it weren't for Fang Er not notifying the Zongzheng Temple, he would have been driven away long ago..."

He thought he was trying to persuade Chai Lingwu, but unexpectedly he hit Chai Lingwu right in the heart.

After all, the reason why Princess Baling went to ask Fang Jun for help was because of his desperate pleading. In other words, it was he who personally pushed Princess Baling to Fang Jun, and he had to force her to do so...

Chai Lingwu was drunk, his face flushed, and he angrily said, "We are friends, why do you have to laugh at me like this?"

Du He was also angry: "Can't you tell the difference between good words and bad words? Am I laughing at you? I'm obviously trying to persuade you! Don't act so tough in front of me. If you really have some blood in you, go find Fang Er and fight to the death. I will respect you as a man!"

Chai Lingwu stared: "Why am I not a man?"

Du He had a headache and said, "You are drunk. I won't argue with you. I will go home first and we will talk after I sober up tomorrow."

I'm just messing around, why should I talk so much to a drunkard?
However, he forgot that since he was a drunk, his words and actions were very different from usual, especially some things that were usually suppressed in his heart would burst out with the help of alcohol.

When Chai Lingwu heard that he wanted to go home, he rushed over and shouted, "What do you mean? Are you bullying me because I have no home and no one is waiting for me to come home?"

Du He was thrown to the ground unexpectedly by him and angrily said, "What does your family's affairs have to do with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was punched in the face.

Du He cried out in pain, pushed Chai Lingwu off his body, then rode on him and punched Chai Lingwu in the eye.

"oops!"

Chai Lingwu yelled, but he was so drunk that he was too weak to lift his body. He tried to turn over but couldn't, so he cursed: "You are laughing at me, maybe your princess has been secretly having an affair with Fang Er..."

When he shouted, the servants outside, the pimps of the brothel, etc. rushed in. They saw the two men fighting, and heard Chai Lingwu's ugly curses. They were all confused for a moment.

Du He's face flushed red, and he was furious: "Your princess cheated on someone, so you can't stand seeing others doing well, right? I'll break your mouth today for slandering my princess!"

A punch hit Chai Lingwu's chin with a bang.

Chai Lingwu dodged subconsciously, and his fist hit his lips, and blood gushed out instantly.

The servants and pimps standing by were shocked when they saw this. They thought it was just a conflict and a fight between good friends, but they didn't expect that they were determined to destroy each other!

Teeth are the most important part of the human body. Once a tooth is knocked out, it is much more serious than breaking an arm or a leg.

He quickly rushed over and pulled the two apart.

However, even though the two were pulled apart, they continued to swear and insult at each other, saying all kinds of ugly things...

boom!
The door was pushed open again, and Li Xiaogong, wearing a round-necked suit and a fu hat, walked in from outside with his hands behind his back. He looked at the people fighting and those trying to separate them, and his eyes swept over the mess in the room. His face was so gloomy that it seemed like water seemed to be dripping out of it.

"You are already grown up, and you still think you are still a reckless and reckless teenager?"

However, Chai Lingwu and Du He were drunk and did not notice that it was Li Xiaogong who came. They continued to insult him, struggled to break free from the restraints, and rushed forward to punch the other party twice.

The servants were so frightened that they broke out in sweats and quickly gave quiet reminders.

Li Xiaogong was furious. With his identity, status, and qualifications, even the meritorious officials of the Zhenguan period were respectful to him, and those "second-generation" officials dared not even breathe in front of him. Now his brothel was smashed by two people, and they ignored him and turned a deaf ear to his words...

"All right, all right, you've all become successful, right? You're exposing each other's shortcomings and cursing each other's mothers, great job! Come on, tie up these two bastards and hang them outside the window to sober them up! Your parents are dead, right? It doesn't matter, I'll teach you bastards a lesson on their behalf!"

Li Xiaogong was furious.

You are a prince of the royal family, a meritorious official of the Zhenguan period, and the Minister of Personnel, but you open a brothel and yet you can't keep it quiet. In the past, that idiot Fang Er used to smash the place every time he came. Now that I have finally cultivated myself and stopped making trouble, you guys pop up again.

You won't let me, Li Xiaogong, do business properly, right?

Then I'll make you suffer!
More than ten guards behind him received the order and rushed forward, knocking the two men to the ground with fists and kicks. Ignoring the desperate pleas of their servants, they took ropes to tie the two men tightly, then tied one end of the rope to the pillar inside the house at a suitable length, and then pushed the two men out through the window, where they were dangling outside the window...

Li Xiaogong said to the servants of the two families with a gloomy face: "Just hang it outside the window like this, anyone who dares to take it down secretly will have their legs broken!"

The servants of the two families dared not say a word.

The two men hanging outside the window also sobered up and realized they had caused trouble, and begged for mercy again and again.

Li Xiaogong snorted and said, "Aren't you throwing dirty water on each other's princesses? Very good! My royal princess is worthless, right? Go back and tell your own princesses everything they said about the insults. When the princess comes, she will take the princess back!"

After saying this, he walked away with his hands behind his back.

The two servants were completely dumbfounded.

Outside the window, Chai Lingwu and Du He were also confused.

Now that he was sober, he remembered the insults he had said during the fight. If these words got back to the princess' ears, how could she let it go?
Li Xiaogong actually asked their princesses to come and rescue people. Baling and Chengyang must have wanted to hang the two of them here.

It would be better if Li Xiaogong beat them both up!

The dignified Prince of Hejian really lacks great virtue...

The next morning, as soon as Fang Junfu returned to the city, he heard about what happened between Chai Lingwu and Du He in Pingkangfang last night. After thinking about it, he did not return home, but asked someone to send a letter to his family. Then he turned around and left the city and went directly to the south pier, where he took a boat down the river to Luoyang.

……

In the Wude Hall, Li Chengqian had Chai Lingwu and Du He brought into the hall and scolded them angrily.

The two of them hung outside the window for half the night, eating wind and drinking dew until dawn, but the two princesses Baling and Chengyang did not come to rescue them...

Li Chengqian scolded them for half an hour. Seeing the two men kneeling in front of him with their heads down, he calmed down a little. He drank some tea to moisten his throat, and then said earnestly: "You are nobles and the imperial prince consort. How can you fight and insult each other in a brothel like those street thugs? Don't you have any dignity? Don't the royal family have any dignity either?"

Chai Lingwu finally couldn't help it, he raised his head, tears already streaming down his face, he said angrily: "Your Majesty, I am indeed wrong, but the fault is not all mine! It is His Highness Baling..."

"Shut up!"

Li Chengqian scolded, then waved his hand to dismiss all the other eunuchs in the hall. He then glared at Chai Lingwu and said coldly, "I know what you are going to say. Do you feel aggrieved? When your brother's rebellion failed, did you ever think about whether your life would be in danger, your title would be in danger, and your family line would be destroyed? And how could he still keep his title and life after committing such a serious crime? When you were blessed, you accepted it calmly and felt at ease, but when you were wronged, you complained and grumbled?"
