King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 604

The palace door was quickly opened, and a dozen soldiers rushed in, followed by Zhang Baodong.

"What's going on? What's the fuss about?" the boss walking at the front scolded.

Under the light, dozens of female relatives were running around in the yard, each one looking like a frightened little white rabbit.

At this time, several women ran over quickly and said in panic: "Sir... there are robbers... there are robbers breaking in!"

Chinese is very popular in the upper class of North Korea, and these ladies can basically speak it, so they dared to come forward immediately.

"Robber?" Zhang Baodong suddenly became angry.

He was responsible for guarding this place, and there was actually a robber. If this spread, Zhang Baodong would lose his face.

In anger, Zhang Baodong drew his sword and asked with an angry face: "Where are the robbers?"

One of the women replied, "It's right inside!"

In Jin Youyan's view, the Ming army was a nest of snakes and rats. Zhang Baodong and Ye Hemingen appeared in front of her, which made her fall into panic again.

Zhang Baodong immediately followed him out, hearing that Ye Hemingen was still refusing to give in, and was still cursing.

"Let me go...let me go!"

After a few breaths, the sounds inside stopped, and Zhang Baodong quickly went up the stairs.

After confirming that Ye Hemingen had not succeeded, Zhang Baodong felt a little relieved, and then looked at Ye Hemingen in front of him.

"Who do you think you are? You dare to teach me a lesson?"

At this time, Zhang Baodong approached Ye Hemingen and whispered in his ear: "General Ye He, Your Highness has summoned the Crown Princess of North Korea. You have committed a great sin!"

Being scolded by Ye Hemingen, Zhang Baodong was furious, so he asked: "No one is allowed to trespass. This is His Highness's order. Do you want to disobey His Highness?"

"Idiot...hurry up and save people!" Zhang Baodong yelled angrily.

After the water arrived, Zhang Baodong motioned for the others to get out of the way, and suddenly stepped forward and poured cold water on Ye Hemingen's head. The bone-piercing chill made him freeze in place.

Before Zhang Baodong finished speaking, Ye Hemingen, under the influence of alcohol, angrily yelled: "Fuck you..."

"General Ye He, do you know that this is a forbidden area? If you break in without permission and want to do something wrong, you should..."

Worried that this woman would get close to Zhu Jinghong, Zhang Baodong was particularly respectful to her.

Ye Hemingen was able to sneak in quietly. To Zhang Baodong, who was in charge of security, this was like a slap in the face. He would not be able to sleep unless he found out.

When Zhang Baodong spoke, the soldiers present were not polite. They dragged Ye Hemingen out and beat him violently when he got down the stairs.

Zhang Baodong ignored him for the time being, but looked at the bed in the northeast corner of the room, where Jin Youyan was sitting in disheveled clothes.

Seeing that Ye Hemingen took the bait, Zhang Baodong immediately scolded: "You are so bold...even the prince doesn't take it seriously!"

After giving this order, Zhang Baodong went upstairs again and entered Jin Youyan's room.

Ye Hemingen felt heavy. He really wanted to escape from here at this moment, so he left without saying anything.

As soon as I walked to the door, I heard a soldier report: "My lord... is... the young master of the Ye He tribe!"

Leading a dozen of his subordinates, the commander rushed up the stairs, and then the sound of fighting came from inside.

This guy is so arrogant because he drank too much...

Then, Zhang Baodong turned around with a gloomy face, looked at his subordinate Qian and asked, "How did you get in? Tell me clearly tomorrow!"

"What?" Zhang Baodong was greatly surprised and immediately changed his color to break his defense.

The young master of Ye He's tribe is Ye He Ming'en, who is currently being pressed on the floor.

"I like this woman and just want to play with her..."

Zhang Baodong still had the courage to beat Ye Hemingen in Zhu Jinghong's name, not to mention that Ye Hemingen was going too far.

"Yes Yes!"

"When I'm on horseback, killing people, you're still feeding me while you're riding on horseback!"

After a few breaths, Ye Hemingen finally came back to his senses. By this time, he was completely awake.

"Drag me out and beat him!"

After tightening her clothes, Jin Youyan huddled in the corner of the bed, her delicate eyes making people move their index fingers.

Swallowing, Zhang Baodong kept reminding himself that his thoughts were dangerous, and then he bent his waist and said to Jin Youyan: "The Crown Princess, our prince has invited you!"

Zhang Baodong continued: "The banquet is still going on, General Ye He should go back!"

As soon as he walked through the door, he heard movement. The sound came from a room on the second floor.

Ye Hemingen came here under the influence of alcohol. Now that his drunkenness had completely dissipated, and after hearing Zhang Baodong's last words, he certainly knew how much trouble he had caused.

In addition to the woman's shouts, there was also a rough yell, and the surrounding soldiers knew that thieves had really entered.

"Let me go...let me go...do you know who I am!" Ye Hemingen scolded angrily.

"General...the Crown Princess is up there!"

This is a courtyard with two entrances. In addition to the outer courtyard, there is another courtyard inside, so Zhang Baodong immediately walked inside.

After deciding this, Zhang Baodong walked to the house and immediately ordered someone to fetch a bucket of water.

Hearing that Zhu Jinghong called him over, Jin Youyan knew what was going on without even thinking.

Although he didn't want to go, she had no right to choose at all. After all, she couldn't even resist Ye Hemingen.

"Come here... ask someone to help the Crown Princess bathe and change clothes!"

Seeing that Jin Youyan's clothes were messy and looked unsightly, Zhang Baodong ordered someone to change her clothes.

After a while, several maids entered the room, carrying brand new clothes in their hands.

Regardless of whether Jin Youyan was willing or not, Zhang Baodong asked someone to bathe her, and he took the initiative to withdraw.

This torment lasted for half an hour. Jin Youyan was like a walking corpse. After being bathed, he put on new clothes and was led out of the room wearing a headscarf.

A moment later, he was taken to Zhu Jinghong's palace, where there was no one else except the eunuch on duty.

It's quiet and clean here, and the atmosphere here is solemn, which actually makes Jin Youyan feel safe.

Since the trip to Jinzhou, the crown prince Li Xuan has been relatively cold towards her because she was bullied at the banquet. From then on, she began to feel insecure.

Since he can no longer escape being bullied, compared to being bullied by Ye Hemingen and other generals, Zhu Jinghong is at least young, has a high status and looks good, which is undoubtedly easier for Jin Youyan to accept.

And if he serves this person well, he will no longer be bullied by others, which is a very cost-effective deal for Jin Youyan.

As for her chastity, after being betrayed by Li Xuan, she no longer had that spirit.

At this time, she was trying to convince herself that she should treat the matter calmly.

On the other side, the banquet was coming to an end, and Ye He Ming'en was also present, acting like nothing had happened.

He is also trying to convince himself that this time the matter should not be a big problem, after all, he has not really done anything to Jin Youyan.

Zhang Baodong, who came back to resume his duties, saw Ye Hemingen sitting peacefully. He also admired the man for his determination and did not take advantage of Zhu Jinghong's happiness to come and plead guilty.

Anyway, Zhang Baodong will report this matter truthfully.

It's not that he likes to tell stories, but just now he went to invite Jin Youyan and the eunuchs around Zhu Jinghong to accompany him.

He couldn't guarantee that these people wouldn't tell, so it was best to report it himself.

"Your Highness, I have been brought to your palace, but something happened in the middle. Ye Hemingen..." Zhang Baodong told the situation again. After hearing this, Zhu Jinghong glanced at Ye Hemingen, and this guy looked at Ye Hemingen. He immediately lowered his head.

The prince knows, should I admit my mistake? It's not a big deal, shouldn't it be a big deal? Besides, with so many people, it’s not appropriate right now...

The authorities were confused. At this moment, Ye Hemingen was in a panic, making it difficult to make a correct judgment.

A moment later, Zhu Jinghong said goodbye to everyone and left, citing the fact that he was too drunk.

In such a cold weather, everyone present actually didn't want to stay any longer. Some wanted to hug the woman and some wanted to go home.

So after Zhu Jinghong left, everyone dispersed one after another, and the last ones to leave were Li Jiong and Li Hui.

Let's say that when Zhu Jinghong returned to the palace, he went first to take a rest, and when he came out, he was half sober from alcohol.

Stepping into the bedroom, as soon as he entered the room, he saw a woman, sitting by the bed with her head bowed, waiting.

Jin Youyan has also been here before, but she is still extremely nervous at this moment, even more nervous than on her wedding night.

Looking at Zhu Jinghong entering the room, she didn't even know whether to stand or sit.

But in the end, Jin Youyan stood up and bowed to Zhu Jinghong who was approaching.

"My wife pays homage to Your Highness!"

This woman is really good... Zhu Jinghong secretly praised her.

When he was in Jinzhou that day, he was deeply interested in this woman, but he held his thoughts back due to international relations.

Zhu Jinghong took the initiative to step forward, helped Jin Youyan up, and said, "The imperial concubine is exempt from the gift!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Jin Youyan stood up straight and looked at Zhu Jinghong with a slightly painful expression.

Pulling Jin Youyan to sit on the chair, Zhu Jinghong asked, "It's been more than two months since we parted ways in Jinzhou. How is Madam doing lately?"

Jin Youyan turned her face to one side and replied: "The war is in chaos, and I am like a duckweed in the water!"

Her miserable look made Zhu Jinghong feel even more compassionate, so he pulled up a chair and sat next to Jin Youyan.

Holding the woman's hand in front of him with one hand, Zhu Jinghong put his other hand around her waist and comforted her: "Now that I have settled the chaos, madam, you can feel at ease!"

Turning his head back, Jin Youyan replied: "Thank you for your care, Your Highness, I am very grateful!"

Approaching Jin Youyan again, Zhu Jinghong hugged her directly and said, "Why should you and I be so polite!"

Jin Youyan wanted to hide away instinctively, but she finally held back, lowered her head slightly and replied: "I am the wife of a rebellious minister, and I am honored to be so loved by His Highness... I am truly honored!"

Zhu Jinghong smiled, picked up Jin Youyan, and put him in his arms.

We are finally getting there... Jin Youyan thought to himself.

Sniffing the fragrance on Jin Youyan's neck, Zhu Jinghong said slowly: "These things are not worth mentioning, but I have something I want to discuss with my wife!"

"Please give me your instructions, Your Highness!" Jin Youyan became more and more timid.

Holding Jin Youyan's chin with his hand, Zhu Jinghong asked seriously: "I wonder, madam... would you like to sit at the table and sleep with me tonight?"

You just did this kind of thing, but you still asked me...Jin Youyan felt ashamed.

But she turned her head away again and said in a voice as soft as an ant: "I am willing to serve Your Highness!"

Since you can't resist, it's better to accept it calmly, at least it's better than being raped by insurgents... This is Jin Youyan's idea.

Stretching his hand to a place where it shouldn't be, Zhu Jinghong whispered: "Madam... the spring night is too short, it's time for you and me to rest!"

Then there was a sound of "ah", Jin Youyan was picked up by him, and the two of them rolled onto the bed, followed by the sound of "ah".

Candlelight swaying, bed shaking, love lingering, time flies...

Early the next morning, Zhu Jinghong slowly woke up and turned around. At this moment, he felt refreshed.

Jin Youyan was nestled in his arms, her hair messy and slightly frivolous, with a faint smile on her face.

After playing with it for a while, which made the girl angry, Zhu Jinghong smiled and got up first.

Jin Youyan was indeed very tired, so she was still slumped on the bed and did not get up to help Zhu Jinghong change.

With the maid waiting on him, Zhu Jinghong got dressed and walked out of the dormitory where he slept.

As soon as they left the house, Yu Hai came over and reported, "Your Majesty... Ming En came to apologize and has been kneeling outside the palace gate for half an hour!"

"Oh? I also said that I would send someone to invite him, but he was sensible and came by himself!" Zhu Jinghong sneered.

Of course, he didn't want to vent his anger on Jin Youyan, but he was angry because Ye Hebu was too presumptuous. If he didn't punish these people, they would become even more aggressive in the future.

According to Zhang Baodong's report, Ye Hemingen broke into the Forbidden Palace at night. His methods could be described as having no bottom line and he would do whatever it took to achieve his goal.

"Go...go see him!"

When Zhu Jinghong came to the palace gate, he saw Ye Hemingen kneeling at the foot of the steps, with thick snowflakes falling on his body.

Seeing Zhu Jinghong arriving, Ye Hemingen suddenly woke up, and then kowtowed to Zhu Jinghong.

"Your Majesty Ye He Ming'en, come here to apologize!"

Zhu Jinghong didn't say anything, and just looked at Ye Hemingen at the bottom of the steps. At this time, a eunuch placed a chair behind him.

Later, another coffee table was brought up, and all the cakes, fruit plates, and tea were available.

After straightening his sleeves, Zhu Jinghong sat on the chair. After taking a sip of tea, he said: "Ye He Ming'en..."

"Chen is here!"

"I am very happy that you led the troops to assist the court in suppressing the rebellion!"

"But you are arrogant and domineering... I don't like it very much!"

Hearing this, Ye Hemingen quickly defended himself: "I drank too much and was confused for a moment, so..."

Zhu Jinghong's voice suddenly rose and he scolded: "Occupy Dong'e's military rations, have conflicts with Haixi, and seize the Huifa's battle results... Are these all because you drank too much*?"

"If I hadn't suppressed you, you would have been strangled by their combined efforts, and now your body has been eaten by wild dogs!"

"Do you think you are the most powerful in the world? Do you think no one can defeat you?"

"I don't dare!" Ye Hemingen kowtowed again, and this time he was bleeding.

"I haven't killed anyone for a long time, don't hit your head on my knife edge!"

"I don't dare to die!" Ye He Ming'en kowtowed again.

Seeing Ye Hemingen's arrogant look, Zhu Jinghong felt no mercy and warned again in a cold tone: "Remember... this is your last chance. If you do anything that exceeds the rules again, I will kill you!"

Zhu Jinghong's words were so straightforward and indeed extremely intimidating, making Ye Hemingen extremely uneasy.

Just as Ye Hemingen was warning himself in his mind, he heard Zhu Jinghong scolding: "Get out and get thirty military sticks!"

"Yes... I'll go right now!"

Ye Hemingen could clearly feel that Zhu Jinghong did have murderous intentions towards him, so he was extremely worried at this moment.

Thinking of this period of time, he had indeed been too presumptuous, and Ye Hemingen couldn't help but feel afraid.

Thinking about it, if Zhu Jinghong was present in person last night, it would be very possible to chop him with his own hands.

After kowtowing to Zhu Jinghong, Ye Hemingen left quickly. It was a good thing for him to lead the military stick, which meant that all his past mistakes had been wiped out.
