A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 397: Prince Yingchu finally gets severely punished

"Master! Master! I am the king's nephew. How can you treat me like this?"

Along with hysterical shouting, the gate of Shangguan Mansion was quickly opened, and two guards in the mansion carried out Yingchu Prince and threw him out. Yingchu Prince was caught off guard and fell face first into a mud puddle.

Seeing that the angry imperial teacher had his cousin thrown out, the little prince and princess were so scared that they dared not stay any longer. They said goodbye in a hurry and followed Shangguan Mansion out. They just happened to see their cousin Yingchu lying in a puddle in the posture of a dog chewing mud, and they all covered their eyes in disgust.

The royal guards standing guard outside breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that only Prince Yingchu was thrown out, while the little prince and princess they were responsible for protecting were still safe and sound.

"My cousin is really something. He has to use such words to irritate the Imperial Master." The little Prince Yingning frowned and touched his belly, complaining that he couldn't even take the cakes.

"Your Highnesses, please take care. Our Lord is suddenly ill and cannot come out to see you off. We hope Your Highnesses will forgive us." At this time, the butler came out with a food box. He bowed to the two distinguished guests in front of him, then handed the food box to the eunuch behind the little prince and continued with a smile, "Knowing that Your Highnesses love this cake, your Lord asked me to prepare more."

"Thank you very much. Please thank the Imperial Master for me!" Upon hearing this, the little Prince Yingning smiled again.

Princess Ying Yue, who was standing by, felt even more disappointed when she saw that the Imperial Master only thought about her brother but didn't say a word about her. She pouted her lips, turned around, and got on the carriage with the help of a palace maid.

"It's really too much for the Imperial Master to humiliate me like this! After all, I am the king's nephew!" Prince Yingchu, who had been helped up by his guards, wiped the mud off his face and cried towards the Imperial Master's Mansion with tears in his eyes.

He, the prince who had always been so majestic and arrogant, was thrown into a mud puddle in public by the imperial teacher today. Where would he put his face in the future?

Seeing more and more people gathering to watch, the ten-year-old Prince Yingning felt that it was a disgrace to the royal family, so he quickly had Prince Yingchu taken to the carriage and hurried away.

"Butler, please go to Marquis Qi's Mansion in person and inform the young marquis of what happened today." When the butler returned to the front hall, Shangguan Jiuyi still had a sullen face and gave the order again.

"Sir, do you have anything else to say?" The butler was a little puzzled, so he asked again.

"Don't worry, the young marquis will know what to do when he learns about this."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Seeing the master say this, the butler turned around and left in a hurry with relief.

"Sir, something bad has happened. The girl..." As soon as the housekeeper left, Ah Xiu ran to the front hall in a panic and shouted anxiously to Shangguan Jiuyi.

"What's wrong with Luoying?" Without waiting for Ah Xiu to finish speaking, Shangguan Jiuyi immediately hurried to the backyard.

"I don't know either. The girl was unconscious when she was carried back by the guards Chen Ming." Ah Xiu followed closely behind, but she was a little incoherent due to her anxiety, which made Shangguan Jiuyi confused.

"My aunt was fine just now. What happened to her in the front yard?" In the small courtyard, Ying Yan walked out of the room reluctantly after visiting his aunt who was lying on the bed and refused to open her eyes or speak, and hurriedly asked Chen Ming who was waiting in the courtyard.

But Chen Ming just shook his head silently, he didn't know how to answer.

"What happened?"

Chen Ming didn't say anything, and Ying Yan felt even more uneasy. When he was about to ask more questions, Shangguan Jiuyi came hurriedly and asked as soon as he entered the courtyard.

"My aunt went to the front hall just now. Doesn't Teacher Jiuyi know?" When Shangguan Jiuyi came up to him and saw his expression, Ying Yan couldn't help but mutter in confusion.

"What did you say? She just went to the front hall?" Although the voice was small, Shangguan Jiuyi in front of him heard it clearly. His worried face turned pale in an instant, and panic had already appeared in his eyes. So he said nothing more and quickly walked into the side room and came to Luoying's bed.

"Falling Ying?"

Although Luoying was lying peacefully on the bed at this time, her beautiful face was pale without a trace of blood. Shangguan Jiuyi nervously held Luoying's hand, hesitated for a moment before calling her softly, but his eyes couldn't help but turn red as he opened his mouth.

"Jiuyi." Hearing that he was coming, Luoying's thick eyelashes trembled and then she slowly opened her eyes.

"Luoying, I'm here." Seeing her clear eyes full of sadness, Shangguan Jiuyi felt even more distressed. As he responded, he couldn't help but tears falling on their connected hands.

"Lian Jiuyi, you have started to lie to me too. You have known this for a long time, right?" She was full of resentment, but seeing the tears and sorrow in his eyes, Luoying could not bear to attack him. She just cried and said.

"I'm sorry Luoying..."

"Jiuyi, I know, I know you are doing this for my own good. Learning the truth is like being pierced by thousands of arrows. I would rather die than live. But they are all my relatives. How could you hide it from me?" Shangguan Jiuyi had just opened his mouth when Luoying suddenly sat up in shock, threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly.

"Luoying, I'm sorry." Shangguan Jiuyi also closed his eyes in pain, hugged the person in his arms and murmured. Thousands of words finally turned into these three words.

In the Marquis of Qi's mansion, when Qi Xuanlin learned that Prince Yingchu coveted Princess Luoying, and even brought the little prince and princess as cover to break into the Shangguan Mansion, and after failing to meet him, he became so angry that he spoke rudely to his good friend Jiuyi in public, he could not help but get furious, and immediately dragged his father, the Marquis of Qi, into the palace to ask for an audience with the king.

King Yingye was also furious after being told about this incident, and hurriedly ordered his twin children, who had just returned to the palace, to be summoned to the council hall to confirm the whole story.

Ying Ning and Ying Yue, who were called forward, rarely saw their father getting angry in front of them. They were so frightened that they dared not tell a lie and confessed everything their cousin had instigated them to say.

Ying Ye and the Marquis of Qi were all furious when they heard this, especially Ying Ye. He was very happy this morning when he saw his nephew Ying Chu saying that he was going to take his cousins ​​out to play, thinking that the child had grown up and become sensible. But he didn't know that the bastard had been spoiled and was lawless, even daring to deceive him, the king! Moreover, Ying Chu had already known that Princess Luoying was the imperial master's fiancée, and he dared to think about her. When he couldn't see her, he slandered the imperial master who he had taken great pains to invite to Xuanmeng and made great contributions to Xuanmeng. This matter was absolutely unforgivable!

On the other side, in the Palace of the Sea King, Prince Yingchu ran back home with a feeling of grievance to complain to his parents, but he only said that he had accompanied the little prince and the little princess into the Shangguan Mansion for less than half an hour, and was thrown out of the Mansion by the Imperial Master Shangguan Jiuyi because of his unintentional offense with words.

The Sea King and his wife loved their son very much. When they heard this, they were furious. They couldn't help but curse the Imperial Master, saying that he really didn't know how to educate his son.

After the little prince Ying Ning and the little princess Ying Yue were reprimanded by the king and punished by being confined to their homes, the eunuchs also came to the Sea King's Palace holding an imperial edict.

The Crown Prince Yingchu was corrupt, he deceived the emperor and perverted the law, instigated the princes and princesses to make trouble in the State Master's Mansion, and spoke rudely to the State Master in public. He was simply lawless, so he was immediately sent to the northern border to guard the border for three years as a warning to others. As the saying goes, if a son is not taught well, it is the fault of the father. The Sea Prince did not teach his son well, so he was fined one year's salary and had to face the wall in the mansion for one year to reflect on his mistakes.

After the eunuch finished reading the decree, there was crying and wailing in the Palace of the King of the Sea again. The imperial guards who were ordered to carry out the decree remained unmoved no matter how the King of the Sea and his wife pleaded, and soon dragged Prince Yingchu out of the palace. Then, when the Princess of the Sea was about to follow him out with a broken heart, the gate of the palace was also closed by the imperial guards.

At night, on the palace wall, Ying Ye looked at the dark and deserted Sea Palace in the distance and sighed helplessly.

"Isn't the punishment father gave to cousin Yingchu too harsh this time? His pampered body wouldn't be able to endure the desolate northern land for even a year, but father made him stay there for three years?"

Standing behind Ying Ye was his eldest son, the current crown prince of Xuanmeng State, Ying Shu. After hearing his father's sigh, he couldn't help but speak.

"What happened in the Imperial Master's Mansion today may be minor or serious, all depends on the Imperial Master's intention. However, he had Ying Chu thrown out of the mansion in public, and then arranged for the Marquis of Qi and his son to come forward and sue me for the matter. It can be seen that the Imperial Master does not intend to let that kid off as easily as before." Ying Ye smiled helplessly, then sighed.

Although he was angry, he still loved his nephew. After all, he was his brother's only child. However, he had to punish him severely in order to dispel the resentment in the heart of the national teacher, so that he would continue to be loyal to Xuanmeng willingly. Moreover, Yingchu was still obsessed with Princess Luoying, so in order to prevent him from doing anything wrong in the future, he could only keep him away from the capital temporarily.

"Your son understands. The talent of the National Master is witnessed by all in the court. The military transformation of Xuanmeng Kingdom still has to rely on the National Master. Those who want to accomplish great things should know how to make choices. Moreover, it was indeed cousin Yingchu who went too far in this matter and angered the National Master." Crown Prince Ying Shu's eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded belatedly.

"I'm very pleased that you can understand. Remember, as a king, you should always put state affairs first." Hearing that his son could understand this truth, Ying Ye turned around and smiled at him happily.
