King Qi shrank his neck and complained with a gray face, "Fifth brother, why are you so fierce?"
Yu Wenhao lost all his patience and shouted: "Are you going or not?"
"Calm down first, so as not to frighten Cui'er!" King Qi whispered, but he slowly led the way.
Yu Wenhao took a few deep breaths before suppressing the rising anger.
But King Qi said again: "When we were outside the city gate before, Fifth Sister-in-law said that she did not push Cui'er into the lake, but instead framed Cui'er for pushing her, and said that Cui'er wanted to harm her. Fifth Brother, you have to tell her properly when you go back.
Say, it’s for your sake that I won’t pursue this matter.”
Yu Wenhao strode forward and stopped a servant, "Go and invite Princess Qi to the side hall and tell her that I am here to question her."
The servant was startled for a moment and looked at King Qi. King Qi could only say: "Go!"
The servants took the order and left.
Yu Wenhao ignored King Qi and turned around with Xu Yi to wait in the side hall.
King Qi followed him step by step, not forgetting to complain, "Fifth brother, you have to handle this matter well. If you don't do it when I protect Cui'er, it doesn't make sense for you to protect Fifth Sister-in-law, right?"
Seeing Yu Wenhao's dark face the whole time, Xu Yi couldn't help it anymore and said: "My lord, please stop saying a few words for now. Can you wait until this matter is dealt with first?"
King Qi glanced at Xu Yi, who gave him a warning look, and then pointed at Yu Wenhao.
After all, King Qi was still in awe of Yu Wenhao. Although he was still dissatisfied, he did not dare to say anything more.
After waiting in the side hall for a while, Chu Mingcui arrived with his maid.
The wound on her chin was covered, and her skirt was loose, but it made her waist look fuller, fragile and delicate.
The maid helped her in. She looked haggard and her eyes were red and swollen.
When she saw Yu Wenhao, she didn't say anything, but her eyes were red again, and she swallowed: "Brother Hao is here?"
Yu Wenhao looked at her, "Is your injury getting better?"
Chu Mingcui said softly: "It's nothing serious."
"He said it was nothing serious, but he was scared to death." King Qi lovingly stepped forward and helped her sit down, "Don't worry, the fifth brother came this time to ask a few questions as per the order of the father.
Just answer truthfully."
Chu Mingcui nodded slightly, sat down and immediately asked: "How are the injured? Are they important?"
Yu Wenhao said: "There are a few serious injuries, and doctors are already treating them. At present, the most serious situation is Princess Hongdeng. The emperor's uncle has invited the imperial doctor. Fortunately, the bleeding was stopped in time. Presumably, there is no danger to his life.
.”
Chu Mingcui shed tears and said: "If anything happens to the red light, I will be completely responsible for my death."
Yu Wenhao said: "Since you are distributing porridge today, and someone has prepared it early in the morning, why is it still delayed at noon? And why are Aunt Huang, Hong Deng, and Mrs. Liang also here?
"
Chu Mingcui swallowed slightly, "I was going to give it out a long time ago, but I felt that if I just gave out porridge, it wouldn't fill my stomach, so I asked someone to order hundreds of steamed buns. These steamed buns take a long time, so wait for a while.
It was noon. As for Aunt Huang and Mrs. Liang, they wanted to come with me because they knew I was going to deliver porridge. They were also kind-hearted people and wanted to do something for the people, but they didn't expect..."
Chu Mingcui covered her face and began to sob. Her cries were so painful that it made people feel sad and distressed.
King Qi felt very distressed and wanted to hold her, but Yu Wenhao and Xu Yi were not here.
Yu Wenhao had no expression and just listened quietly. After she cried twice, he said: "Sending the buns is a temporary decision?"
"Yes, it was decided in the morning." Chu Mingcui sobbed for a while before calming down and continuing to answer.
Yu Wenhao was puzzled, "Since you have already decided to distribute porridge today, why didn't you plan the steamed buns earlier? Even if it was a temporary decision, if we find a few more stall owners and make hundreds of steamed buns, it won't be until noon.
Moreover, I saw the scene and saw that there were only ten drawers of steamed buns, a total of one hundred and fifty, and they could be made in less than an hour."
Chu Mingcui was stunned for a moment, looking at Yu Wenhao intently with tearful eyes.
There was a layer of sadness and anger in her heart.
When he came, was he really investigating? Or was he just here to ask a few questions?
If it's the latter, there's no need to ask in such detail.
If it's the former...he has really changed.
She stretched out her hand to support her forehead and said, "My head hurts a little. I have asked the people below to do these things. Brother Hao, please ask them. I am really... I feel uncomfortable today.
I’m also very confused.”
King Qi hurriedly said: "Fifth brother, everyone said that this bun was a temporary idea, and it was not decided long ago. Even if the arrangement of the one hundred and fifty buns was not appropriate, no one thought that such a thing would happen, Cui'er
It’s a good intention.”
Yu Wenhao looked at the hopeless King Qi, knowing that he couldn't ask anything else, and said: "Well, I already understand the specific situation, you have a good rest, I'm leaving."
Chu Mingcui lowered his eyes and said softly, "King Chu, go slowly."
This King of Chu sounded a bit cold and indifferent, definitely not the kind brother Hao he used to be.
Yu Wenhao seemed to have no expression on his face as he stood up and left.
King Qi chased him out.
"Fifth Brother, it's better to make what you just said clear."
Yu Wenhao looked at his unreasonable face and said, "Okay, since you want to say something, then make it clear. What do you want to say?"
King Qi said with an unhappy look: "You said you should let me forget it at first, but she has no repentance, so this matter cannot be forgotten. She must be taught a lesson. I am not afraid even if she has a royal staff, and neither is the emperor's grandfather."
She is a reasonable person, and if this matter comes to her, he will not help her."
"Want to teach her a lesson? Okay, tell me, how to teach her a lesson? Beat her up?" Yu Wenhao asked calmly, as if he was not angry at all.
King Qi thought for a moment, and it seemed that it was really not a good idea to hit a woman. "You need a reprimand, right? You said before that she wouldn't come to apologize, but when I came back and thought about it, I think she should still apologize."
Yu Wenhao nodded, "Yes, you are right, but I don't think she will come to apologize to Princess Qi. How about you take the time to go to Prince Chu's Mansion tonight? She should be willing to apologize to you."
"Apologise to me? What's the use of apologizing to me? You still have to apologize to Cui'er." King Qi said.
"That's impossible. How about you go see her and then come back to convey it to Princess Qi?" Yu Wenhao said.
King Qi felt that this was indeed the case. If she insisted on not apologizing to Cui Er, there was nothing she could do to force it. However, this matter had to be explained clearly. She could not continue to frame Cui Er. Today she said Cui Er pushed her, but tomorrow she would have to accuse Cui Er.
Kill her.
"Okay, I'll comfort Cui'er and I'll be there right away," King Qi said.
Yu Wenhao and Xu Yi turned around and went out.
After riding the horse, Xu Yi quickly caught up, "Your Majesty, did you really ask King Qi to come over? Will the princess apologize to King Qi?"
"Absolutely not!"
Xu Yiyi was stunned, "Then..."
Yu Wenhao raised his whip and rode away, "You have to try the staff to see if it works!"
