"A bunch of untouchables who refuse to repent. Come, kill all of these people who are destroying the welfare of the royal family."

The eldest prince waved his hand, murderous intent instantly rising in his heart. He raised the sword in his hand to chop off the abbot's head, and the sword was about to land on the abbot's neck.

At the critical moment, Wan Shufang picked up a small stone and threw it at the sword.

With a clang sound, the long sword made a humming sound and was knocked off course by Wan Shufang by a few inches, only cutting the abbot's clothes. However, it numbed the eldest prince's hand.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the person who came angrily. The moment he saw Wan Shufang, the woman from that day suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Why do they look so similar..." The eldest prince narrowed his eyes, carefully studying Wan Shufang, and muttered to himself, "But only the eyes and body shape are similar, not the appearance."

Thoughts were flooding through his mind, and after reaching the conclusion, he felt a little lost for a moment. Although that woman was ignorant and knocked him unconscious that day, he was still obsessed with her.

For several days in a row, he even dreamed of making love with that woman, and was so happy.

Seeing the sticky look in his eyes, Chen Changli's face changed drastically. He moved sideways to block his sight and said in a cold voice: "Prince, this is a sacred place in the Buddhist temple. Killing is forbidden."

"How dare you!" the eldest prince shouted angrily. He looked at Chen Changli and saw that he was dressed in ordinary clothes and did not look like a noble. His patience immediately lost: "You, a lowly person, dare to question the decision of the royal family."

He couldn't accept being stopped by a commoner. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He frowned and scolded, "I'm warning you. If you try to stop me again, I'll kill you too."

After he finished speaking, he was still not satisfied. He waved his hand and immediately someone surrounded Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, quietly waiting for the eldest prince's order.

"Capture these two ignorant men who are defying the imperial family. Drag him out and have him beaten to death." His eyes turned and pointed at Wan Shufang: "Bring her back to me."

Although this woman was different from the one that day, at least her features were similar, so he could make do with it. With a command, the attendants immediately responded and walked towards Wan Shufang and the other person.

The attendants gradually approached, and in panic, the secret guards hiding in the dark witnessed everything and were about to take action, but were signaled to stop by Chen Changli, so the secret guards could only remain in place.

Chen Changli stared at the eldest prince with cold eyes, his face calm and his tone gloomy: "The dignified eldest prince of Beidi, do you really have to kill innocent people?"

These provocative words further infuriated the eldest prince, who couldn't help but curse, "Why don't you kill him right now? If you allow him to continue talking nonsense, I will kill you all."

The eldest prince was annoyed and angry, his eyes were red, and he was jumping and shouting like a mouse whose tail was stepped on. Seeing him killing so cruelly, Chen Changli couldn't help shaking his head.

This look made the eldest prince want to tear him into pieces. He stared at the two of them, but just as the guards were about to meet them, a loud and powerful sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside.

Following closely behind was Tan Tai He's anxious voice.

"Royal brother, stop."

The familiar voice made the eldest prince's eyes flash with disgust. He raised his eyes and looked forward, and saw Tan Tai He walking towards him.

Behind him, there was a huge group of people following, who seemed to have come deliberately to watch him have fun!

"Tan Tai He!" The eldest prince gritted his teeth, glared at him fiercely, and said in a rage, "What are you doing here?"

Hearing this, Tan Tai He calmly took out the token from the King of Beidi and said, "Royal brother, you cannot touch them. They are distinguished guests invited by our father."

"How is that possible?" The eldest prince retorted subconsciously, feeling surprised. He couldn't believe that Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, dressed like this, could be royal guests.

But Tan Tai He didn't give him a chance to question. He just looked at Chen Changli and saluted respectfully: "Your Excellency the Duke has come from afar and suffered such a misfortune. It is our Beidi who are disrespectful."

As soon as the word "Duke" came out, a light bulb went off in the eldest prince's mind. Almost instantly, he understood Chen Changli's identity and his face became very ugly.

"Duke? The renowned Duke Chen Changli of the Great Yong Dynasty?"

Hearing this, Chen Changli smiled, looked at him and generously admitted his identity.

"Yes, I am Chen Changli, the Duke of the Yong Dynasty and the eldest prince. Now, can I stop you from killing people?" As he said this, he took out a token with several large gold-plated characters engraved on it, confirming his identity as the Duke.

As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell into dead silence. The soldiers looked at each other, lowered their heads, and saluted Chen Changli tactfully.

The matter was done, and no matter how unwilling the eldest prince was, he had no choice but to apologize to Chen Changli in order to maintain friendly relations between the two countries.

"My Lord, I was not very good at recognizing you. I'm truly sorry. I hope you will forgive me and not argue with a junior like me."

After he finished speaking, the eldest prince smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, as if there was a knife hidden in his eyes. He was thinking that he should kill Chen Changli as soon as possible.

To avoid the current disaster!

Chen Changli understood the eldest prince's thoughts clearly. He only glanced at him and then looked away: "The eldest prince of Beidi has too strong a desire to kill. He is not as kind as the seventh prince."

The eldest prince almost lost his grip on the knife after hearing this comment, but Tan Tai He seemed not to notice and continued to agree with him.

The two of them talked back and forth, secretly belittling the eldest prince.

With Chen Changli and Tan Tai He around, the eldest prince could no longer commit murder and had no choice but to leave in anger. As soon as he left, the monks of Fushan Temple breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Tan Tai He and Chen Changli one after another.

Amidst his gratitude, Tan Tai He looked at Chen Changli with a respectful attitude: "Sir, my father has been waiting for you for a long time. Why don't you come back to the palace with me?"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze and saw Wan Shufang standing beside him. She had a complicated expression on her face and was about to say something, but Wan Shufang was very indifferent to him. She chuckled and refused on Chen Changli's behalf: "Seventh Prince, we won't go."

"The monks at Fushan Temple haven't been settled yet. They're dead and injured. I don't feel comfortable leaving them to deal with it on their own. The Duke is also worried, so we have to rescue the victims first."

Hearing this, Tan Tai He smiled heartily and waved to his servants. Immediately, someone went to support the monks.

"Miss Su, don't worry. They are my people, Beidi. The fate of Beidi depends on them. How could I, the Seventh Prince, not care about their lives?"

"I will send someone to work with you and Miss Su to rescue people first." As he said this, Tan Tai He bowed to the two of them with a sincere look on his face.

He was much gentler than the eldest prince, which made Wan Shufang feel less disgusted with the royal family and reject him. She nodded lightly.

Afterwards, Tan Tai He did what he said and sent all his trusted subordinates to personally accompany Chen Changli and Wan Shufang to the disaster area to rescue the victims together.

This good deed won him a lot of praise, and Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were also very satisfied.
