Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

“However, my sister should protect his position. Doesn’t she want support for her husband through the Li family? Before the position of the minister goes to someone else, my elder sister should try her best to hand it over to me,” Jianjun affirmed with a tiny smirk.

“Jianjun, you should not dream of such a bigger position because it will never happen. Your threats will not work on me. My husband has already recommended the name of an honest official for the position of such a responsible ministry,” Jin Yu pronounced.

“Sister, do not disappoint me. I may have to use another way to make you work,” Jianjun stated.

Jin Yu clenched her fist and stood up from her place. She walked up to him and pulled him up by grabbing his collar.

“Do you want me to kick you out or do you want to go on your own?” Jin Yu questioned, beaming at him.

“I never knew my sister has so much strength. Ahh, she got married to the Crown Prince because she saved him,” Jianjun stated and continued, “if you do not want Xu Zifan to die and turn her wife into a widow, you will have to make me the minister.”

Jianjun grabbed Jin Yu’s hand and lowered it down. “Sister, do not provoke me. You saved your husband by revealing your true identity, so now you should return the favor of our father,” He stated.

Jin Yu slapped him hard which startled Jianjun. “This is for threatening me,” she proclaimed and again grabbed his collar before dragging him out of the chamber.

.....

The servants in the manor were stunned to see that side of the Crown Princess.

Xiaoming, who had returned from the imperial court, ended up seeing them. He stood near the door and the servants behind him stopped.

Jin Yu threw Jianjun out of the large entry door of the manor. He balanced himself before losing his balance. Jin Yu lifted her high-waist skirt a little and then kicked Jianjun.

In seconds, he fell off the stairs and everyone was shocked.

Xiaoming smiled to see Jin Yu’s reaction and didn’t say anything. However, he walked up to her and stood next to her.

Jianjun felt humiliated and stood up. His hands were bruised and even his nose bridge got a slight cut. He glared at Jin Yu and looked at the servants, who had their gazes darted at him.

“Do not come here and ask me to fulfill your ridiculous requests. You should be happy that the King returned you to the position with a higher rank even after your evil acts. I hate men like you. Also, if you tried to harm Xu Zifan and Sister Jingfei, trust me I will kill you with my own hands,” Jin Yu stated. Xiaoming looked at her and frowned. He realized that Jianjun used Xu Zifan’s name again while asking something from Jin Yu.

“Leave, Li Jianjun,” Xiaoming ordered him.

Gulping at the humiliation that Jianjun faced, he left the palace.

“Next time, if he comes here, do not let him enter,” Jin Yu told the doorkeepers and walked inside in anger. Xiaoming followed her and grasped her wrist.

“Calm down, Crown Princess,” Xiaoming said and she turned to look at him.

Her cheeks were red because of the anger. “He tried to threaten me. He asked me to make him the minister. Can you imagine?” She huffed.

“Why do I have to be the daughter of such a family?” Jin Yu said and stomped her foot on the floor.

Xiaoming embraced her and caressed her back. “It is not your fault. Their minds are retarded,” he stated. She pulled away and peered into his eyes.

“He may harm Li Hua’s brother. The Crown Prince needs to talk to Prince Lóng Wei on this matter,” Jin Yu opined.

“He is not in the palace at the moment. I will talk with him in the evening,” Xiaoming said and told her that he had increased the security around Xu Zifan. “Jianjun will not dare to do this. He knows what can be the consequences of his wrongdoing. He was merely threatening you.” He caressed her cheek from the back of her palm.

“What if something wrong happens? I have this strange feeling in my heart,” Jin Yu said in a low voice.

“It is normal to get scared. I will talk with my father about this. It is important to inform him about this,” Xiaoming said.

“His Majesty may think that I am lying. I mean, we do not like the Li family, but His Majesty still considers them good,” Jin Yu asserted and knitted her brows together.

“I wonder why Father does not see how evil they are. Father even supported Kang Xi until the very end. I feel something strange is happening,” Xiaoming stated.

“What does the Crown Prince mean?” Jin Yu asked him to explain to her.

“It is tough to explain, Jin Yu,” Xiaoming said. After the incident about Qizhen had appeared, he noticed that his father was acting strangely. He tried hard to find out who Qizhen was, but found nothing about him.

Even in the royal records, there was no mention of it. Although he got to know that Hei Chengxi used to be loyal to Qizhen, so when he tried to talk to him about Qizhen, he refused to say anything in that. When he asked Lóng Wei about it, thinking he would know, even he told him those things which he already knew about Qizhen.

“What is the Crown Prince thinking?” Jin Yu asked.

“Father is acting strange after his elder brother’s existence news has spread. For some reason, I feel that Father has some loyal high-rank officials, whom he does not want to lose,” Xiaoming affirmed.

“Should we find out who Qizhen was? He killed your uncle,” Jin Yu stated.

“I think we need to find out,” Xiaoming replied.
