Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

"Let me tell you, Beitang Hong, I am no longer the Xie Jinglan who let you slaughter me! Now, you and the Lin family, I am irreconcilable." Xie Jinglan said coldly.

Lin Ruyan's purpose is very clear. She wants Beitang Hong to hold her captive, just like in her previous life, to control her life and squeeze out all her value.

Why!

"Very good. Since you are openly going against me, I will never show you any mercy again! Xie Jinglan, you are nothing but a waste, a woman I don't want. You think Beitang Yuan will be interested in you? Don't you see what kind of person you are..."

Xie Jinglan's eyes turned cold, her figure flashed, and she slapped him.

"Snapped!"

Beitang Hong didn't expect that she dared to attack him. His face was hit to the side and his cursing stopped abruptly.

He felt a burning pain on his face and for a moment he forgot to react.

"Xie Jinglan, how dare you hit me?" He was so angry that he looked at the woman in front of him with his eyes spitting fire.

He is the son of the Queen, of noble status, and has been treated like a treasure since childhood. He is the person his father, the Emperor, and the Queen have the highest hopes for, and is very likely to be the next heir to the throne.

But now, he was beaten by a cheap woman he didn't want?

"Your Highness, are you okay?" A guard came over and tried to support him.

"Get out of here." Beitang Hong was furious and pushed the guard away. He was determined to teach this woman a lesson today.

"Beitang Hong, I am the Crown Prince's fiancée. You are here cursing the Crown Prince, insulting me, and questioning my marriage to His Royal Highness. Do you think the Empress Dowager and His Majesty's decree are wrong?

Since you are so unconvinced, let's go to His Majesty and argue with him face to face." Xie Jinglan shook her wrist. Xiao Jinzi had hit her a little too hard, and her palm was a little numb.

"Don't use the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to pressure me. If you dare to beat up a prince, you will be punished by death." Beitang Hong was almost mad.

Spiritual energy flowed throughout his body, and he suddenly slapped out with his palm.

The initial stage of foundation building!

Xie Jinglan's expression changed slightly, and she was about to go forward.

Suddenly, a stronger force came from the side.

Beitang Hong was startled and suddenly withdrew his palm and dodged.

But it was still a little too slow, and the hair crown on his head was knocked away.

"Beitang Hong, it seems that you have turned a deaf ear to what I said." Beitang Yuan appeared at some point, staring at Beitang Hong with dangerous eyes.

"Beitang Yuan, how dare you hit me?" Beitang Hong's hair was disheveled, and half of his face was red and swollen from being beaten, making him look extremely embarrassed.

"This isn't the first time I've beaten you. I couldn't beat you when we were young, and you're still a loser now." Beitang Yuan's voice was as cold as ice.

He walked over to Xie Jinglan and looked her up and down. "Did that scum do anything to you?"

"Your Highness, you are here. I have been bullied to death." Xie Jinglan's face showed an expression of being bullied. She pulled his sleeve with her hand, tears in her eyes, and she felt extremely aggrieved.

"..." Beitang Yuan felt a chill down his spine. It was the first time he saw her with such an expression, and he felt it was weird.

But seeing how much she depended on him, his mood immediately improved.

"Don't worry, I will take care of things for you. Anyone who bullies you is bullying me, and I will beat him till he's left with nothing."

Beitang Hong was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he heard this. God knows, who is bullying whom?

He was slapped by this woman just now, and he was so angry that he didn't even fight back, but then he was slapped by this damn Beitang Yuan with a palm force, and now he was considered bullying her?

"He was the one who bullied me." Xie Jinglan pointed her finger at Beitang Hong and complained, "Not only did he insult me, he also cursed you, Your Highness, to have a short life..."

Having said this, she suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing. She quickly covered her mouth with her hands and looked at Beitang Yuan in horror.

"Your Highness, this subject did not mean to do this, but this person actually dared to curse you, Your Highness. I dare not lie..."

"Damn Beitang Hong, I will report everything you said today to my father truthfully." Beitang Yuan became furious when he heard it and kicked Beitang Hong hard.

Beitang Hong knew he was no match for him, so he dodged quickly and said angrily, "Beitang Yuan, you've attacked me time and again. Don't think I won't fight back..."

"Then come on!" Beitang Yuan became even more angry when he heard this and drew Hu Xiu's sword. "I will see if this prince doesn't break one of your legs today."

Seeing that he was serious, the guards of Prince Mu's palace were all shocked and came forward to persuade him to stop fighting, "Your Highness, please spare Prince Mu!"

With the guards stopping him, Beitang Hong took the opportunity to turn around and run away.

It’s not that he doesn’t dare to fight, but he is afraid that once a fight breaks out, his father will punish him first.

He had originally been punished by his father to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion for a month, but his father released him because he had to go to Linggun Mountain to participate in the competition the next day.

"Your Highness, please calm down." Hu Xiu also stepped forward and pretended to persuade him.

"Beitang Hong, if you dare to bully Lan'er again, I will break your legs." Beitang Yuan was so angry that his nose was crooked.

When the guards at Prince Mu's mansion saw their master running away, they felt secretly relieved.

"I'll take my leave." Several guards bowed to the prince and went to follow their master.

"Didn't I tell you? If this scum dares to attack you again, just hit him back." Beitang Yuan looked at Xie Jinglan, feeling a little disappointed.

"I'm fine now, and he didn't get any advantage." Xie Jinglan shook her head at him.

"You just came out of Shouning Palace, right? Why don't you come to my East Palace and sit for a while?" Beitang Yuan asked her.

"I won't go." Xie Jinglan didn't want to go. The East Palace was a bit far from here. It would take several quarters of an hour to go back and forth, and she was too lazy to walk.

Beitang Yuan looked at the imperial garden, and all he saw was a sea of ​​flowers blooming everywhere, like a beautiful painting, as if he was in a fairyland.

I couldn't help but take her little hand and said, "Okay, I'll walk with you here."

"If you're busy, you don't have to accompany me..."

"Don't worry, you are about to set off for Linggun Mountain, and I have something to say to you." Beitang Yuan took her to a small pavilion.

"Are you going too?" Although she had never participated in the competition in her previous life, she knew who had participated, and she had never heard of his name being among them.

"Maybe I will go, but I won't be fighting on behalf of Yuyong Country."

As they talked, they walked into the small pavilion. This location was right in the center of the Imperial Garden, and they had a panoramic view of the surrounding beautiful scenery.

The two of them sat here and chatted for nearly an hour before Minglian came to find her, preparing to leave the palace.

Xie Jinglan went to pick up her grandmother and saw that her eyes were a little red, apparently she had been crying.

Without asking any more questions, he helped her leave the palace.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of Duke Li's mansion.

Xie Jinglan and Minglian helped their grandmother out of the carriage and saw many people standing outside the gate. They seemed to be seeking medical treatment and were stopped outside by the guards.

One of them was an old woman in her fifties, wearing a patched dress and holding a child in her arms. When she saw her master's carriage coming back, she knelt down in front of them and begged:

"Miss, my granddaughter is dying of illness. Please have mercy on her and save her!"
