BXBX NOVEL Chapter 413
Feng Lao widened his eyes in shock as he saw Jin Yu before him. Kang Huijuan was on the ground, whimpering in pain. Before he could stand up, Jin Yu placed her right foot on his chest.
She pressed him down and said, “You didn’t deserve a pardon that day. Prince Lóng Wei was lenient on you.” She was furious at him. He had crossed his boundary today.
Feng Lao didn’t stop Jin Yu because Kang Huijuan deserved a punishment.
“The Crown Princess should not treat me this way. I no longer lack any power. I can raise the matter in the imperial court and ask for justice.” Kang Huijuan did not accept his fault. It inflated Jin Yu’s anger. She moved her foot away from his chest and it confused Feng Lao.
Kang Huijuan got up from the floor and glared at Jin Yu. “Let’s go to the King. I will question him how can he pardon an evil man like you. I will make sure that you get behind bars today.”
Jin Yu didn’t hesitate to challenge him. She glanced at Feng Lao and ordered him to drag Kang Huijuan behind her. He followed the Crown Princess’ order, who walked ahead.
“Crown Princess, you are dragging this matter. You do not know the power that my father holds before the King. So, if you think that you can get me punished, then you are wrong!” Kang Huijuan ridiculed her for showing off her status as the Crown Princess when she was nothing before him.
Jin Yu didn’t speak a word to his useless talks and stopped when she reached outside the King’s manor. The gatekeepers at the main entrance bowed to her and Jin Yu walked in. Feng Lao followed her whole dragging Kang Huijuan with him.
.....
Mingquan was descending the stairs saw them and wondered what had happened. He found the grim look on Jin Yu’s face and walked up to her.
He first greeted her and then asked her if everything was good.
“Fourth Prince, Kang Huijuan today went to see Li Hua and then, said something which, as a human, he should not have. He was then blabbering about how His Majesty returned him his power and status that was snatched last month. I want to ask the King why he did that when such an evil man should be in prison,” Jin Yu explained to Mingquan.
He looked at Kang Huijuan, who started lying. “They both are fabricating lies,” He stated.
“You are a scumbag!” Jin Yu remarked.
“What did the Crown Princess say?” Kang Huijuan snickered and asked Mingquan if that was a way the kingdom’s Crown Prince should speak.
“Currently, Father will not listen to both the Crown Princess and the Prime Minister’s son. The situation in the palace is not conducive these days. Her Royal Highness shall let it go this time,” Mingquan advised Jin Yu and, then he gazed at Kang Huijuan, who yanked Feng Lao’s hand from his arm.
“Kang Huijuan is prohibited from entering the manor of the Sixth Prince and his wife. Failed to adhere to this order, I will myself ask my father to punish you,” Mingquan stated. Kang Huijuan found out it was more like a threat than a warning. He apologized and left the King’s manor while Jin Yu and Feng Lao left with Mingquan.
“Your Royal Highness, you cannot lose your temper. You have to act like a Crown Princess- calm and composed. Since uncle Ye Yujin died, so His Majesty is not in a good state. He might have scolded the Crown Princess instead,” Mingquan told her.
“I got angry when he said that Li Hua has kept two men for her. I cannot tolerate Kang Huijuan’s face. He is the most annoying man I have ever seen,” Jin Yu stated. ‘And a murderer too, who killed my master,’ she said in her mind.
Feng Lao took his leave while Jin Yu stayed to ask a few things from Mingquan. “Fourth Prince, who is Qizhen? I heard that he was behind the death of Her Majesty’s brother’s death,” she was curious to know.
“He is the previous King of this kingdom,” Mingquan told the truth to Jin Yu since now, she was also a part of the Royal Family. Jin Yu was dumbstruck to know the truth. She had never known that there was a king before the current one.
“Did he return?” Jin Yu got worried. “What will happen now? He must be killed before he takes the innocent lives,” she muttered.
Mingquan was aware of the truth related to Qizhen, but he remained quiet. The past was not known to any of the princes or princesses and he must pretend that he was also unaware of it.
“I wish the same,” Mingquan said and asked Jin Yu if she learned how to write the characters.
“Yes, Fourth Prince. I had sent a message for the Crown Prince in my writing,” Jin Yu said with a proud smile. Mingquan gave her the wishes.
“Brother Mingquan!” They both heard Qiu Mu’s voice and turned to look at him. They greeted each other when Qiu Mu asked what was the Crown Princess doing in that part of the palace.
“The Crown Princess had an argument with Kang Huijuan. He again started behaving arrogantly after our Father returned him his power and position,” Mingquan informed Qiu Mu.
“He will never improve his habits,” Qiu Mu stated and looked at the Crown Princess.
“The Crown Princess shall not roam around the palace without her manor’s servants,” Qiu Mu suggested and asked Mingqaun to come with him. They both bowed at Jin Yu before leaving.
“So, yesterday’s attack on Li Hua was launched by Qizhen. Is he the one who killed everyone in Li Hua’s and Feng Lao’s families?” She mumbled and furrowed her brows together.
