The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 102 Neutrality

After the prince came out of the mysterious house, his face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it, his steps were heavy, and his worries were like a huge stone pressing on his heart. He returned to the marquis' mansion in a depressed mood.

When Yunxi saw the prince returning, she rushed over to him, her face filled with anxiety. "Prince, what's the matter?"

The prince waved his hands irritably, muttering, "Madam, don't be anxious, let's go inside and talk."

The two of them hurried into the house, and the maid quickly closed the door.

The prince sank down on his chair, his brows twisted into knots. "That Lord Wang actually advised me to get involved in the princes' fight. How absurd!"

Yunxi quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it over with both hands: "Your Majesty, what is your reply?"

The prince took the teacup, raised his head and took a gulp, "This prince is naturally expressing his neutrality and will not get involved in this mess.

I really don’t know what Lord Wang is thinking. He cannot just get involved in the fight for the throne.

I don't want to get our mansion involved." The prince said as he slammed the table angrily.

Yunxi gently stroked the prince's back and said, "Your Highness is wise. We can live a peaceful life in the Marquis' Mansion."

The prince's eyes widened and he raised his voice: "Humph, does His Majesty think that I am someone who will take advantage of you?

You want to drag me into this? No way! "

Yunxi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, the prince always has his own opinions."

The prince stood up and paced back and forth in the room: "We can't be careless about this matter. If we are not careful, our mansion will be finished."

Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great. Let's not get involved in this fight for the throne."

The prince stood up and paced around the room: "But in this situation, I'm afraid it's difficult to remain immune."

He frowned, the veins on his forehead throbbed slightly, and his eyes were full of worry.

As he was speaking, there was a commotion outside the mansion.

The prince and Yunxi looked at each other and walked out together.

I saw the eldest prince Li Mingxuan's confidant, Manager Liu, standing at the door of the marquis's mansion, followed by several followers.

Manager Liu had a sly look, with a pair of small eyes that rolled around, and his body was hunched, revealing a fawning air.

When Steward Liu saw the prince, he immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, my eldest prince invites you."

The prince's expression turned cold, he glared at Manager Liu and said loudly: "I am not feeling well today, so I can't go."

After saying this, he put his hands behind his back, his aura like an unshakable mountain.

Manager Liu's expression changed slightly, and the smile on his face froze. He hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the eldest prince said that this matter is of great importance. I hope Your Highness will give me some respect."

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands, his eyes fixed on the prince, full of anxiety.

Yunxi took a step forward, frowned slightly, and said, "Manager Liu, since the prince has said he will not go, you should go back and report the truth to the eldest prince."

Her voice was clear and contained an unquestionable determination.

Manager Liu gritted his teeth, rolled his eyes, and said, "Then I will go back and report."

After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry. His followers also hurried to catch up. The group of people were in a panic and almost bumped into each other.

Watching Steward Liu's departing figure, the prince snorted coldly, "This eldest prince is really pressing us step by step."

His face flushed with anger and his chest heaved violently.

Yunxi was worried, her brows furrowed, her hands twisting a handkerchief. She reached out and patted Yunxi's shoulder, saying firmly, "Don't worry, Madam. I know what to do."

A few days later, the second prince Li Minglang also sent someone over.

The person who came was Captain Zhang, the confidant of the Second Prince. He was tall and had a heroic look on his face.

He had thick eyebrows and big eyes with a bright gaze, and he stood there like a tall pine tree.

Captain Zhang clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, the Second Prince invites you."

The prince sat in his chair, not moving. "I have already said that I will not get involved in the prince's affairs. Captain Zhang, please return."

Captain Zhang frowned, stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said, "Your Highness, this is not right.

The Second Prince sincerely hopes that you can lend him a helping hand!

You see, the Second Prince respects you so much every day and always thinks of you when something good happens.

This is a rare opportunity, why are you so stubborn?"

The prince didn't even raise his eyelids and snorted coldly: "Huh, respect?

This king does not seek this so-called respect. This king only wants to be alone in peace, so please do not bother me anymore."

Captain Zhang's face showed a trace of anxiety, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please think about it carefully.

In this situation, if you stand on the right side, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future!"

The prince slammed the table, stood up, and glared at Captain Zhang: "Wealth and splendor?

This king has no shortage of things! This king only wants to protect the peace of this mansion. You people are only causing trouble for this king! "

Captain Zhang shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Alas, Your Majesty, I can only go back and report the truth to the Second Prince."

After saying that, he turned around and left angrily.

After that, the third prince Li Mingzhi also sent people to invite the prince, but they were all rejected by the prince.

That day, the prince and Yunxi were having dinner in the mansion when they suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.

The prince put down his bowl and chopsticks, frowning: "Go and see what's going on."

Yunxi also put down her chopsticks and looked worried.

It turned out that the eldest prince, the second prince and the third prince were arguing at the gate of the marquis' mansion.

The eldest prince's men shouted at the top of their lungs, "Your Highness must be biased towards our eldest prince!

"Don't argue, the prince knows what's going on!" This man was a big, strong man with a face full of flesh, and his saliva flew everywhere when he spoke.

The Second Prince's men immediately retorted, "Nonsense! The prince will definitely support our Second Prince!"

Our Second Prince is the most capable, what are you?" This man had a pointed face and monkey cheeks, his eyes rolling around, and he waved his arms as he spoke.

The Third Prince's men were not to be outdone, jumping up and down and shouting, "Stop arguing, Your Majesty knows that only our Third Prince is the most suitable candidate.

Our Third Prince is full of talent and righteousness!" This man was thin, but his voice was loud and he looked very imposing.

Li Fu, the housekeeper of the Marquis's Mansion, stamped his feet anxiously and advised with a bitter face, "Everyone, please don't quarrel here and disturb the peace of the Marquis' Mansion.

If the prince were to blame us for this, no one would be able to bear the consequences!"

But those people didn't listen at all. They quarreled more and more, their faces turned red and their necks became thick, and they were about to fight.

The eldest prince's men reached out to push the second prince's men: "You kid, you dare to argue with us, you must be tired of living!"

The Second Prince's men were not to be outdone and punched the other side in the backhand: "Who's afraid of who?"

The Third Prince's men took the opportunity to get involved, and chaos ensued.

At this time, the prince and Yunxi came to the door, and the prince shouted angrily: "Shut up!"

Only then did everyone become quiet.

The prince glanced around and said, "I repeat, I will remain neutral and will not get involved in the princes' fight. If anyone comes to harass me again, don't blame me for being rude!"

After the prince finished speaking, he raised his thick eyebrows and opened his eyes wide, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

He shook his sleeves, turned around and walked back into the mansion with big strides. His steps were vigorous and full of momentum.

Yunxi followed closely behind the prince, frowning slightly, and said with a worried look on her face: "Prince, I'm afraid your attitude will offend the princes."

The prince kept walking and snorted coldly: "Humph, so what if I offend you?

This king is not afraid! This king will never participate in this battle for the throne."

However, things didn't end there.

Ministers in the court also came to persuade the prince to express his position.

One day, a fat minister with a greasy face came to the palace with a protruding belly.

As soon as he saw the prince, he smiled broadly, squinted his small eyes, and said with a cupped hand: "Prince, the situation is now clear. You should choose a side to support. You will be rewarded handsomely in the future."

As he spoke, he stretched out his chubby hand and made a big circle.

The prince sat in his chair, not even raising his eyelids, and replied coldly: "I have already said that I will not participate. Don't mention it again."

The minister didn't give up. He stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, think about it. If you stand on the right side, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory."

The prince slammed the table, stood up, and glared at me: "Who do you think I am?

roll! "

The minister was so frightened that he trembled and quickly retreated.

A few days later, another tall and thin minister arrived. With a fawning look on his face and bowing his waist, he said, "Your Majesty, you have worked with us for many years. I hope you can lend us a helping hand."

The prince glared at him and turned his back: "So what if we have worked together for many years?

My king has made up his mind, so don't waste any more words."

The tall and thin minister wanted to persuade him again, but the prince threw his sleeves and said, "Get out!"

On this day, the prince went to the palace to meet the emperor.

The emperor lay on the hospital bed, breathing weakly and his face was sallow. The dragon robe that originally fit him well now looked loose.

The prince knelt down and greeted: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

The emperor opened his eyes slightly, his eyes were cloudy, and he said weakly: "My dear, I am afraid that my body is no longer able to move."

The prince raised his head, looked at the emperor, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you are blessed by heaven and will surely recover."

The emperor sighed and said, "I know the princes are vying for the throne. Do you have any ideas, my dear?"

The prince said, "Your Majesty, I remain neutral. Everything is entirely up to Your Majesty's decision."

The emperor nodded and said, "I am very pleased with your loyalty, my dear minister."

Coming out of the palace, the prince was filled with emotion. His brows were furrowed and his steps were heavy.

The luxurious dragon robe on his body seemed to have lost some of its luster at this moment.

When they returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Yunxi was already waiting anxiously at the door. As soon as she saw the prince, she hurried to greet him.

Her brows were furrowed, her eyes filled with worry, and she asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, what does the Emperor say?"

The prince shook his head and sighed: "The emperor is seriously ill and unable to deal with the prince's affairs."

When Yunxi heard this, his face turned pale instantly, and he said worriedly, "Then the situation will become even more chaotic."

The prince held Yunxi's hand tightly, his eyes firm and his voice steady as he said, "Madam, no matter what happens, I will protect you."

At that moment, a servant from the Marquis's residence came trotting over, panting and with a look of panic on his face. He shouted, "Your Highness, this is bad! The First and Second Princes are arguing in the court and are almost coming to blows."

When the prince heard this, his brows knitted together and he shouted angrily, "How disgraceful!"

Yunxi was also panicking. She grabbed the prince's sleeve tightly and said, "Prince, what should we do?"

The prince pondered for a moment, flicked his sleeves, and said decisively: "Let's go and take a look."

The prince and Yunxi hurried to the court, only to see the eldest prince with his hands on his hips, his face red and his neck furious as he shouted at the second prince, "You ungrateful thing, how dare you argue with this prince!"

The Second Prince was not to be outdone, his eyes widened as he cursed back, "Do you think you can sit firmly on the throne?

Go ahead and dream! "

The two of them refused to give in to each other and argued until their faces were red. They looked like two fighting cocks, neither of them willing to give in.

The ministers were trying to persuade him, some pulling the eldest prince's arm, some tugging at the second prince's clothes, and kept saying, "You two princes, calm down, calm down."

But it has no effect at all.

Seeing this, the prince strode forward and shouted, "My two princes, do not forget the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects."

When the eldest prince heard this, he turned around abruptly, glared at the prince, and said arrogantly: "Prince, please don't meddle in other people's business."

The Second Prince also said, "Your Majesty, since you remain neutral, don't interfere."

The prince was so angry that his face turned red, his eyes widened, and he shouted loudly: "How can you quarrel like this?

If the enemy knew about this, it would be a joke!"

The two were stunned by the prince's roar at first, and then they calmed down a little.
