Chapter 68: Prison

Ji Qing braved the risk of his master losing his temper and handed the bun over. In the silence, his hand was empty. Ji Qing raised his head happily, and all he saw in his eyes was his master's back, which was finally blocked by the door.

Regardless of whether he knew how to eat it or not, he handed over the two buns and felt relieved. Ji Qing turned around and went to the small kitchen.

In the room, Wang Yuhuan saw Li Jie coming back and rushed to greet him, "Ah Jie, are you okay?"

Li Jie shook his head. His mind was full of the scene where the waiter kicked him out with contempt after hearing that there was no money. He put the still wet buns on the table and sat down on the couch.

"It's still warm, you can eat it."

Wang Yuhuan saw the buns at a glance, and his eyes widened in disbelief. Could it be that this was dinner? He glanced at the door and saw that no one else followed, so that was it.

"Ajie, come on, eat. I'm not hungry. I'm too full at Xiangwu." Wang Yuhuan thoughtfully sat next to him, "I'm tired of you. You have to go out to get something to eat at night."

Wang Yuhuan wanted to ask why he only bought two buns, but thought it would hurt the man's self-esteem, so he didn't ask.

Li Jie's eyes fell on the buns. When Ji Qing came back, he was empty and was made to kneel down. He couldn't go out to buy buns. They must have been given to him by those two parties. Ji Qing couldn't want the buns given by Wei Meilin. It must be that woman Wang Yurong.

, thinking of her arrogant face, how could it be possible.

Wang Yuhuan saw him staring at the buns in a daze, and for some reason, anger arose in his heart, "It's getting late, Ajie, let's take a rest."

Li Jie withdrew his gaze and said, "Yes, it's too late, so let's take a rest. You sleep in this room, let Qiu Ju sleep on the couch, and I'll go live in the west room."

Wang Yuhuan's smile froze on his face, "Aren't you going to sleep here?"

Li Jie smiled faintly and said, "If your name is not justified, it will be bad for your reputation. It will be good for you to wait until I marry you in a glorious way."

Wang Yuhuan gritted her teeth with hatred, but could it be possible for a woman to take the initiative in this matter?

She also pretended to be shy and moved, "Ah Jie, I know you are the best to me. Then I'll call Qiu Ju over."

Wang Yuhuan left the west room, fearing that Li Jie could not help but see her cold face. Qiu Ju came out of the east room and said directly, "Make the bed in the east room. The prince will sleep there tonight. You

Come and sleep in the same room with me."

Qiu Ju had already heard what Xi Wu said in the east room, so she went back to the east room. When Wang Yuhuan returned to the west room and sat down, Qiu Ju had already brought her things over.

"Girl, everything is laid." Qiu Ju lowered her head.

Li Jie stood up and said, "Then I'll go over and you should rest early."

Wang Yuhuan thoughtfully sent the person to the door, looked at the door of the east room closed, and then turned around and went back inside.

Without outsiders present, Wang Yuhuan's face turned cold, "You can just eat this bun, it would be a waste to throw it away."

"Girl, I don't want to eat." Qiu Ju's eyes flickered, "When I was in the east room, I saw that the buns were given to Ji Qing by Miss Er, and I didn't eat what was sent there even if I was hungry."

Wang Yuhuan's face sank, and after a long time he snorted coldly, "No wonder."

No wonder she gets annoyed just looking at this bun.

He never expected that Er Yatou would have such a scheming mind. In this way, Li Jie would naturally remember Er Yatou in his heart.

The master and servant spoke in low voices. At this moment, they heard the door of the east room open, and then the sound of the outer door opening and closing.

Wang Juehuan couldn't help but look sideways at the window, but unfortunately it was blocked by window paper and couldn't see anything.

The room was quiet, and there was no sound of the door of the wing room opening. Wang Yuhuan breathed a sigh of relief and sneered in his heart. With her here, Li Jie would never go to another woman's room. How could she even have such confidence?

Nope either.

In the yard, Li Jie walked leisurely and saw the dark rooms on both sides. He didn't know where to go and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the west wing.

There was only a door separated the two people, but they were far apart, and Wang Yurong's stubborn cheek could not be tolerated in his mind.

Li Jie stood quietly in the yard, his expression a little unclear.

They are obviously a couple who are in harmony with each other, but why do they seem to be such enemies with so much hatred?

Does she really hate him that much?

Thinking of the time when the two of them were together, except for that night when he held her in his arms and told her what was in his heart in the Zhuge Courtyard, and she had a bright smile on her face, he thought that the two of them would get along, but in the end he let her

disappointed.

It was all his fault that Yuhuan was in such trouble with Wang Yurong. Li Jie clenched his fists and closed his eyes in pain.

Recalling that he had done nothing but fool around since he was a child. A true man stood in the world and did nothing. In the end, he couldn't even protect women, so what else could he do?

The cold wind blew slowly, and Li Jie shivered. The New Year was about to come, and the days in front of him made him smile bitterly. Now that Yuhuan was here, it was impossible for him to make a decision.

Opening his eyes, Li Jie turned around and returned to the house.

That night, except for Wang Yurong's master and servant in the west wing, who slept well, Wei Meilin was not used to hard beds and his whole body ached from sleeping. Wang Yuhuan and Li Jie had something on their mind, so they didn't sleep well and didn't sleep until dawn.

.

This area is an area where the poor live. The poor people got up early. Compared with the quietness of the palace, it is a bit noisy here.

When Li Jie was woken up, he sat up with a dark face and was served by Ji Qing, "I can just wash my face myself. You go and buy some breakfast and come back."

Being hungry for the first time in his life, Li Jie finally understood what the life of the poor was like.

Ji Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. As soon as it dawned, there was a man selling tofu buns outside the door, so I bought some. There are also hot buns."

When Li Jie heard that there was something to eat, the expression on his face softened, "Okay."

After a simple wash, Ji Qing went to the kitchen to take out breakfast and went to each room. Li Jie ate breakfast in the room by himself. When he went out after the meal, Wang Yuhuan got up.

"Let's go." Li Jie thought about meeting He Kang and Zhao Hu today.

He took Ji Qing out of the hospital early and went to the restaurant. He sat in the restaurant where he usually sat. Seeing that the shopkeeper was obviously not as lively as before, Li Jie didn't take it seriously. He couldn't see it before, but now he finally knows what it means.

Now that he is flattering and no longer has the status of a prince, these people who used to be fawning and petty when they saw him will naturally not take him seriously.

Fortunately, you can get in here with money. If you had to rely on your identity to get in, he might not be able to get in.

After Li Jie sat down, Ji Qing went to He Mansion and Zhao Mansion. Li Jie ordered a pot of tea and two plates of snacks and sat at the window in a daze.

An unpleasant voice sounded from behind, "Hey, look who this is? Am I right? Isn't this our prince?"

Yang Yebing came in, emphasizing the word "Prince".

Behind him were naturally Zhang Sidao and Shi Daihan.

The three people sat down proudly without asking, and Yang Yebing said without any hesitation, "This Tieguanyin costs ten taels of silver for a pot. Now we are just common people. I don't know if I can still drink it."

If you can afford it, you’re not here to pretend to be an uncle just to save face, are you?”

"I'm afraid I can't even eat on weekdays." Shi Daihan also added insult to injury.

Only Zhang Sidao remained silent, resting his chin on his hand and looking out the window.

Li Jie was exposed and glared angrily, "Yang Yebing, don't bully others. As the saying goes, if you leave half of a sentence on your lips, you can leave a note of regret for yourself. Don't regret it one day.

But it’s too late.”

"Li Jie, are you threatening me? Don't forget, if I crush you to death, it will be the same as crushing an ant to death." Yang Yebing narrowed his eyes sinisterly and ordered behind him, "Here, come here.

I'll beat them and then throw them into prison."

In the past, these slaves often followed Yang Yebing out to fight, and most of them were from the palace, so they were not afraid. Anyway, if something happened, the young master would be responsible for it. Now that Li Jie no longer has the status of a prince, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Four or five servants dragged Li Jie downstairs, and soon the street became lively and the sounds of fighting could be heard.

"Ye Bing, isn't this bad? He is no longer a prince, but he is still the emperor's younger brother after all." Zhang Sidao said calmly.

Yang Yebing didn't take it seriously, "What are we afraid of? The emperor can demote him and disown him as his younger brother. Jun Wuxi said, what else do we have to be afraid of?"

After hearing what he said, Zhang Sidao stopped trying to persuade him.

Shi Daihan echoed from the side, "I don't know what happened to make the emperor angry. I guess it must not be a good thing."

"Yes, I can't find out even if I ask." Yang Yebing was also puzzled.

On the street, Li Jie could not beat four people by himself. He could only lay down on the ground with his head in his hands and let others beat him.

The four guards were tired of fighting, so they dragged the man to the prison.

By the time Ji Qing arrived with He Kang and Zhao Hu, the streets had long been quiet. Li Jie was nowhere to be found. He Kang looked at Ji Qing's confused look and had an extra thought, asking Ji Qing to find the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

question.

The shopkeeper ignored Ji Qing. Zhao Hu got angry and wanted to smash up the shop when he entered. When the shopkeeper saw that he was the young master of the General's Mansion, he told what happened before.

He Kang frowned, and Ji Qing even cried, "What should I do? I must have been beaten badly, and now I am sent to prison again. Prime Minister Yang's mansion is too bullying."

"Let's go to the prison now." With the emperor's decree, He Kang couldn't ask more questions, but he couldn't just watch people being locked up in the prison like this. "Jiqing, go back and see if you can get more."

Here comes the money, you also know that the emperor won't let us take care of it, so we have no choice but to use the money to get your master out."

Ji Qing nodded, and first took out the silver he was carrying and handed it over, "Here are two hundred taels, Master He, take it first, and I will go back to collect the silver."

Without saying much, Ji Qing ran home.

He Kang shook his head, what was the fuss about? However, Yang Yebing went too far by adding insult to injury. If the emperor really didn't care about this younger brother, he wouldn't tell them to ignore it. He should just ignore it. Obviously

This is forcing Li Jie to bow his head and go back.
