Transmigrating to the Qing Dynasty: The Beloved Princess Uses a System to Change the Plot

After saying this, the eldest prince strode downstairs with great pride.

Mu Yue stood by the window, looking towards the main hall on the first floor.

Nalan Kuixu showed no remorse in the face of Longkodo's accusations. Instead, he frowned and reprimanded her with some displeasure, "Guard Tong, this is not the residence of the Tongjia clan. Are you trying to ruin Her Highness's reputation to achieve your own goals by dragging her into this mess?"

"Your Highness has no romantic relationship with her. Even if you admire her, you shouldn't say such things in public. Do you know how much trouble this will cause her?"

If someone else had said these words at any other time, Longkodo might have been able to accept them. But since the person who said them was his rival in love, Longkodo naturally couldn't accept them and was completely unable to remain rational.

He sneered, completely ignoring Nalan Kuixu, and clenched his fists, intending to continue his attack and teach Nalan Kuixu a lesson.

Nalan Kuixu wasn't stupid, and he didn't think he had done anything to wrong Longkodo, so naturally he wouldn't stand still and let Longkodo take action.

He quickly dodged.

The students who were exchanging poems and essays in the teahouse had already noticed their commotion. Not wanting to cause trouble, they all moved away, and soon many people in the teahouse had left.

This meant that not many people heard it. Longkodo had just mentioned Muyue.

This relieved the Crown Prince.

Otherwise, even if he offended the Tong family, he would still go down and teach Longkodo a lesson.

Right now, having the eldest brother step in to stop Longkodo and Nalan Kuixu saves me trouble.

However, since Longkodo dared to implicate Yue'er outside, this matter must be told to Father Emperor so that he can be severely reprimanded, lest he drag Yue'er into it again in the future.

After a moment's thought, the Crown Prince noticed Mu Yue's worried expression.

He reassured him, "With your older brother involved, it will be resolved quickly, so you don't need to worry so much!"

“If that kid can’t handle this, it means he’s incompetent. Then the Crown Prince will ask Father Emperor to find you a new consort.”

Mu Yue had no time to think about such romantic matters.

Hearing the Crown Prince say that, she rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

"What nonsense are you spouting, Crown Prince?"

"Father has already made the decision, so how can the person chosen be changed so easily? If word gets out, people will surely say that Father changes his mind frequently, which will affect his reputation. Crown Prince, please don't say such things in the future!"

"Besides, I'm not a child anymore. I know what I'm doing and don't need my Crown Prince brother to protect me all the time!"

If she were truly the kind of person who needed protection, she probably wouldn't have survived in the palace until today.

The Crown Prince looked at Mu Yue's serious expression and didn't take it seriously.

In his heart, Mu Yue will always be the younger sister who needs his protection.

The eldest prince was unaware of the conversation that took place on the second floor after he left. He strode over to Longkodo and Nalan Kuixu.

He originally planned to separate the two directly, but noticed that the two were fighting back and forth, and that the other guests on the first floor had left at some point, leaving only the two of them and some tables and chairs. Even if he fought, he wouldn't hurt anyone. At worst, he could just wait until they regained their senses and pay some money.

So the eldest prince didn't rush to separate the two of them. Instead, he stood aside, watching the two fighting as if it were a show, and occasionally gave some instructions, hoping that the two would fight even more excitingly.

Nalan Kuixu listened to the First Prince's commands from time to time, while also having to face Longkodo's punches and kicks, looking somewhat helpless.

He couldn't understand how things had turned out this way!

Just as he was distracted, Longkodo punched him hard in the cheekbone.

The pain made Nalan Kuixu instinctively frown, and at the same time, he punched Longkodo in the abdomen.

Longkodo had already drunk quite a bit at the restaurant next door that day, and his stomach had been burning with discomfort, but the pain in his heart suppressed the discomfort in his stomach.

At this moment, the pressure from the outside struck his abdomen hard, causing Longkodo's stomach to churn violently.

He leaned over, one hand on the table beside him.

Nalan Kuixu did not want to take action unless absolutely necessary. Seeing that Longkodo had stopped first, he did not take advantage of the situation. Instead, he increased the distance between the two of them, stood aside, and watched Longkodo warily to prevent him from launching another sneak attack.

Longkodo clearly doesn't have the extra energy to deal with Nalan Kuixu right now.

He clutched his abdomen, which had just been impacted, with one hand, his expression one of great pain.

A short while later, a pile of food scraps mixed with alcohol came out of his mouth and fell to the ground.

For a moment, the entire teahouse was filled with the smell of decay.

The Crown Prince and his companions are used to a life of luxury; when have they ever encountered such a situation?

The putrid smell wafting around their noses made them all frown and cover their noses.

The eldest prince was closest to Longkodo, and the scent wafting from his nose was the strongest.

Overwhelmed by the strong smell, he felt his stomach churning and almost vomited, so he quickly stepped back.

"Someone, quickly clean this place up!"

The eldest prince called out several times, but neither the shopkeeper nor the waiter, who should have been in the shop, appeared. It was as if only the few of them remained in the entire teahouse.

The eldest prince felt something was strange. Ignoring the smell on his nose and the discomfort in his body, he began searching the teahouse.

The Crown Prince and the other princes on the second floor also noticed the eldest prince's actions.

Although the Crown Prince and the First Prince did not get along very well, he knew that the First Prince would not start searching a place for no reason. His appearance must mean that he had noticed something was wrong.

The crown prince frowned and said to his younger siblings beside him, "Big brother seems to have noticed something amiss. Let's go down and take a look!"

Suddenly, Yinhu pointed to the teahouse's main door and all the windows and said, "When we came in, the teahouse's main door was open, and many of the windows were also open, but now the main door and windows are all tightly closed. Someone must have just closed them!"

"The door was still open before my brother went downstairs, since there were still some customers in the teahouse at that time. I don't know when, but all the customers left, and the door was closed not long after."

Yinzhu frowned, looked around, and slowly said, "Generally speaking, in this kind of situation, even if someone is afraid of trouble and leaves early, there will always be people who want to watch the show after all the guests have left. But there are only us left in this teahouse. It seems that even the manager and the others have not appeared!"
