Chapter 376 The storm at the city gate
Chapter 376 The storm at the city gate
Jun Lintian looked at the people in the city gate below who were chatting animatedly, and drank the tea in his hand with an expressionless face.
At this moment, the previous dandy look was no longer in his eyes, but instead there was a bit more calmness and solemnity.
Sitting opposite him was Uncle Ji who had always been by his side.
"Lintian, what do you think he would feel if he knew your true strength?"
"Uncle Ji, he probably already knew it by now." Jun Lintian said calmly, with no emotion in his eyes.
In the past few years, he has been hiding his true strength. He was unwilling to do so at first, but later he found that he liked disguising himself more and more. For a moment, he felt that this was the life he longed for.
The intrigues and schemes in the palace had nothing to do with him.
At this time, a commotion at the city gate attracted Jun Lintian's attention.
I saw a row of well-trained guards slowly walking in.
Jun Linyu was standing on his horse in a dark green robe, with a tall and slender figure, a handsome face, thick black eyebrows, and a hint of coldness in his dark eyes.
Although he is already a failed prince, Jun Linyu's handsome appearance still attracts countless girls in Kyoto City.
After all, he is a prince. Now the Queen Mother has sent him back to the city. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
Despite the constant discussions in the crowd, Jun Linyu didn't even bother to glance at them and just followed the team forward indifferently.
Looking at this familiar capital, Jun Linyu's heart was excited. He was upset when he thought of the two women scheming against each other all day long. Now that they have no use value, there is no need for them to exist!
At this time, a woman dressed like an ordinary citizen blocked the team's way.
"Third brother, third brother."
"Please, Third Brother, save Li'er."
Jun Luoli wanted to rush in and get in front of Jun Linyu, but was blocked by the guards.
"How dare you to offend the Third Prince."
Jun Luoli was also immediately furious, and slapped the guard who was speaking away, "How dare you! I am the fourth princess of Cang Yue Country, and a mere guard dares to stop me."
The guards looked at each other. They had never seen the Fourth Princess, so naturally they didn't know her. Finally, they looked at Jun Linyu behind them for help.
Jun Linyu waved his hand, signaling them to go away.
The crowd also began to whisper to each other.
"Oh my god, that's actually the fourth princess?"
"Tsk~ What fourth princess? A notice was issued a few days ago. The fourth princess made a mistake at the palace banquet and has been demoted to a commoner."
"So that's how it is. No wonder you're dressed so poorly."
"I also heard that the fourth princess has been lingering in front of the Imperial Master's Mansion these days."
"Everyone in Kyoto knows about this. When she was still the fourth princess, she came to the Imperial Master's Mansion quite often and made quite a few jokes!"
There was a burst of laughter in the crowd, and Jun Luoli's face turned blue and red. If she didn't have something important to do, she would definitely teach these damn troublemakers a lesson!
"How dare you say that? Look at the change in the expression on the Fourth Princess' face!"
The people in the crowd didn't take it seriously and sneered, "If it were before, I would definitely not dare to do that, but now~ I dare to marry her as a concubine!"
"Hahahahahaha."
There was laughter in the crowd, and it was hard for Jun Luoli not to hear it. She immediately became so angry that her face turned red and her chest heaved.
How dare this damned villain humiliate her like this? This humiliation is intolerable. Just as she was about to draw her sword, Jun Linyu winked at the people around him.
The man in the crowd who had just said he wanted to marry Jun Luoli was pushed forward by the guards. The arrogance on his face suddenly disappeared. He was kicked from behind by the guards and fell to his knees, not even daring to raise his head.
Those who were still talking in the crowd suddenly became quiet, not even daring to breathe, for fear of being affected.
When Jun Luoli saw Jun Linyu helping her, she instantly became arrogant. It seemed that finding the third prince was indeed a clear choice.
Jun Linyu looked down at the man shivering on the ground.
"You want to marry my fourth sister as your concubine?"
Jun Linyu's low and hoarse voice came out sinisterly, so cold without a trace of warmth, that the people on the ground shivered in shock.
"No...no, no." The man was so scared that he even trembled as he spoke.
"Oh? Are you saying that my ears are not working well?"
Without waiting for the man to answer, Jun Linyu's cold voice came again, "Even if your royal sister has been stripped of her title and demoted to a commoner, she still has royal blood flowing in her veins. How can I allow you to insult her like this?"
"How many lives do you have left to take after what you said today?"
When the man heard that he was going to be beheaded, his heart trembled. He was so scared that he kept kowtowing on the ground. He didn't dare to stop even if his head was broken and bleeding. Compared with beheading, this little pain was nothing.
"Your Highness Sansansan... I know I am wrong. I beg Your Highness to have mercy on me, and I beg the Fourth Princess to have mercy on me~"
"I beg you, Third Prince and Fourth Princess, to have mercy on me. I know I was wrong and will never do it again. I beg you, Your Highness, to be magnanimous and not bear grudges..."
The fourth princess snorted coldly, but her eyes showed that she wanted to kill the man on the ground.
Seeing that it was almost done, Jun Linyu signaled the guards to lift the man up, "No no... don't kill me~"
A foul smell came and a puddle of water appeared under the man's feet. Jun Luoli frowned slightly and quickly took a few steps away.
Jun Lintian in the teahouse watched with great interest.
"The third prince killed someone as soon as he returned to the city. He is really not afraid of getting into trouble." Uncle Ji said.
Jun Lintian smiled and said, "He won't kill you. Not only will he not be punished for what happened today, he will even be praised by the Emperor~"
Although he and Jun Lin Yu Shao have had some interactions, he still knows this third royal brother well, and he is the best at playing the role of a smiling tiger.
Just when Uncle Ji was puzzled, Jun Linyu's voice came faintly.
"You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of life~ Then I'll cut off one of your hands to teach you a lesson, so that you know what you can say and what you can't say..."
Before the man could react, a scream was heard, blood splattered everywhere, and there was a sigh among the crowd.
Although Jun Luoli was very dissatisfied with the result, she now needed Jun Linyu's help, so she had to endure it even if she was dissatisfied.
"Third brother, please help Li'er and plead for mercy from father and grandmother. I haven't eaten anything the whole day. Father didn't give me anything when he banished me from the palace..." Jun Luoli felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke.
She originally thought that after leaving the palace, her mother would find someone to help her, but she waited for a whole day and no one came to see her. She had no choice but to go to her uncle's house, but was turned away. The reason was that because of her, her mother lost her position as one of the four concubines, and their family was also implicated, so no one wanted to have anything to do with her.
Jun Luoli went to seek help from those young ladies from official families who used to follow her and flatter her. As expected, she was turned away by every family. In the past, it was a great honor for her to be able to visit their home. She was so eager that she wanted to brag everywhere that she, the fourth princess, was visiting their home.
