Chapter 398 Itchy Skin

"Cousin? This cousin is so eye-catching."

The prince was in the room putting on his flashy and complicated clothes with the help of Jinlian, and naturally the two of them talked about the woman Xia Lin brought today.

"Yes, there is such a beautiful woman in the world. Lord Xia himself is also outstanding in appearance. His family is really blessed."

"Cousin, hahaha..." The prince shook his head and laughed, "Don't you know how he was born? He is the son of a refugee, born on the roadside. Later, Zhang Zhongchun's parents took him home out of pity and raised him as a book boy for Zhang Zhongchun. Where did he get his cousin?"

"Ah?" Jinlian was stunned for a moment: "Then this..."

"In my opinion, this is just one of his lovers, but as a royal consort, he can't be so open about it, so he uses a cousin to take care of it."

"I see……"

The prince pursed his lips. Just as he was about to speak, the eunuch outside came over in a hurry: "Your Highness, everyone is almost here. Should we arrange the seats now?"

"Arrange it and ask them to take a seat first."

"No~"

After the eunuch left, the prince continued, "Fortunately I am not lustful, otherwise I would have found it difficult to resist such a beauty."

"Your Highness has the qualities of a wise ruler. He would never do such a thing as taking away someone else's favor." Jinlian was cupping his feet beside him, which made Brother Jing very happy.

"However, Xia Daosheng never does anything to show off. He probably brought that 'cousin' here today for some purpose. I just don't know what he wants to do."

Jinlian smiled and said, "Thanks to Lord Xia for alleviating many of Your Highness' worries these days, we must reward him well today."

"Haha, of course." The prince paused suddenly, turned his head and looked at Jinlian: "It's interesting, every time you mention Xia Daosheng, you always say good things about him. I have noticed it many times. If you like, I will give you to him."

Jinlian was stunned for a moment, then she was overjoyed, but soon calmed down, shook her head and smiled, "Your Highness, please don't be jealous. Lord Xia has given me a new life. If it weren't for Lord Xia, I don't know where I would be sold to. I am just thinking of his kindness and saying some good things for him. Your Highness is the only one in my heart."

"I was just joking."

The prince didn't have much scheming. When he turned around and let Jinlian adjust his belt, he suddenly thought of something: "Prince Su is here today, too, right?"

"I don't know..."

"It's bad!" The prince slapped the table and said, "Hurry, hurry, I need to get there quickly."

"What's wrong?"

"Old Six is ​​a lecher... He's going to get beaten!"

Prince Su is the only son of the Crown Prince's fifth uncle. His fifth uncle died on the battlefield for Emperor Hongbao, so Emperor Hongbao took the baby with him. After he grew up, he set up a mansion in the capital and raised him by his side. Basically, as long as he didn't do anything unforgivable, he would be an idle prince and be a respectful brother to the Crown Prince for the rest of his life.

This kid doesn't have any serious problems, and bullying the people wouldn't cause any big trouble, but his lustfulness has caused him a few big troubles. He once took possession of the wife of a lieutenant in the city, and the matter was settled by the prince.

Later, he went even further and forced the daughter of the Honglu Temple's deputy minister to marry him. The matter almost reached the Zongzheng Temple, and finally Emperor Hongbao had no choice but to grant him marriage. But after the marriage, this guy was still like this, obsessed with beautiful wives...

It's easy to deal with others, but if he makes trouble in front of Xia Lin, Xia Lin will break his nose into eight pieces...

The prince hurried over, and the moment he passed by, he saw Xia Lin swung his arm and hit Prince Su in the face.

Then he used a backhand grab to catch him, turned him around twice on the ground, and twisted his body to dislocate Prince Su's two arms.

At this moment, Prince Su was howling on the ground, and the people around him did not step forward to intervene. They could only stand by and persuade him, "Master Xia, forget it, it will be bad for His Highness to see it. Master Xia, hey, he wants to fight back!"

The distance was only thirty meters, and when His Highness ran over, Prince Su was hit and left an afterimage. He lay on the ground crying.

"Daosheng!"

His Highness stepped forward and shouted, "Stop, stop, if you beat me to death again..."

Hearing His Highness shouting to stop, Xia Lin stood up, shaking his fist. The onlookers immediately dispersed to both sides, and Xia Lin keenly discovered that many people would deliberately step on Prince Su when passing by him.

After reading it, he was actually quite surprised, thinking: "Who is this forcing? It's so unpopular."

Tuoba Jing walked forward quickly, squatted down to check Prince Su's injuries, and immediately called the imperial physician of the Eastern Palace to come and carry Prince Su away. When he stood up, he glanced at Xia Lin and said, "What's wrong? Why did you hit him?"

Xia Lin pulled Dugu Han to his side and said, "Who did that bastard raise? He came over and insisted on buying my cousin. I said no, but he took her."

At this moment, the prince's face turned black, and he opened his mouth and said, "The one you are talking about was raised by the servant. He was raised by my father. He is the son of my sixth brother, the fifth uncle, Prince Su."

"Ah... this..." Xia Lin touched his head: "It was just a slip of the tongue..."

The prince glanced at Dugu Han with a look of amused surprise: "Hmm? My cousin looks so familiar."

"She looks familiar, do you think she looks like me?" "She looks like that bitch from the Dugu family."

The prince touched his chin and suddenly widened his eyes: "You are not related to the Dugu family, are you? You can't touch them, I tell you."

Dugu Han was standing beside him, his fists clenched so tightly that his eyes almost popped out.

"No." Xia Lin waved his hand: "I plan to marry my cousin to the Dugu family and use her to exchange for some money."

"Who to marry?"

"Dugu Han."

The prince shook his head vigorously: "No, no, no, no, that man obviously doesn't like women. If you really want to arrange a marriage, you might as well arrange a marriage with the royal family. Don't delay your sister's life."

Xia Lin thought to herself that this guy was quite caring, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Your Highness, that won't work. The investment in Fuliang is huge, and the Dugu family won't give the money without this relationship."

"Hey..." The prince patted Xia Lin on the shoulder and said, "You've suffered so much. Let me ask the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy to draft a document tomorrow to make my sister a princess."

"Ah?" Dugu Han was stunned.

Xia Lin tugged at her arm and said, "Why don't you thank your highness?"

The prince was in no mood to continue talking at this moment. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Sit down, sit down. Oh... I'll go see my sixth brother first."

Xia Lin and Dugu Han sat behind a low table. At that moment, the dining was separate, so they didn't have to squeeze on the same table with other people. They were quite far away from each other, so they didn't have to worry about being overheard when they talked.

"The prince dotes on you." Dugu Han sat down and said with a sullen face, "He didn't even blame him for beating his brother."

"Ignorance is not a crime." Xia Lin picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "Besides, even if the king of heaven comes, he can't escape this beating."

Dugu Han didn't say anything, but at this moment she believed it 80%. She was completely shocked when Xia Lin beat the prince like a mad dog just now.

Although she knew that Xia Lin most likely knew the man's identity, after all, the prince's clothes and accessories were hanging there, he still took action, which was quite unexpected.

As they were talking, Jinlian walked forward to pour wine for the guests. When she came in front of Xia Lin, her movements slowed down. Xia Lin was currently tidying up her clothes that had just been messed up. While pouring the wine, Jinlian looked at Xia Lin with a smile on her face.

Dugu Han, who was standing next to her, looked at Jinlian curiously, but remained silent until Jinlian spoke: "Master Xia, Master Xia."

Xia Lin then raised his head and said, "Oh, it's you. You look much better recently. It seems you are doing well."

Jinlian pursed her lips and smiled charmingly at Xia Lin: "Thanks to you, sir, Jinlian has a chance to survive."

"It is the prince you should thank."

Jinlian didn't say anything, but she bowed to Xia Lin with a look in her eyes and went to pour wine somewhere else. When she left, she suddenly turned around and glanced at Dugu Han with murderous intent in her eyes.

After she left, Dugu Han nudged Xia Lin with his elbow: "What did you do?"

"Shit, I didn't do anything."

"But she wants to eat me when she looks at me." Dugu Han curled his lips: "If I were not her cousin today, I would stand up and give her a slap in the face. How dare she do this?"

"Alright, alright, you may be short but you have a big temper." Xia Lin didn't care about that: "Do you want to drink a cup of wine?"

"Oh, you and Dugu Han's future wife are drinking a wedding wine, right? The Dugu family is being bullied by you, right?"

At this moment, the Crown Prince sat in front of Prince Su's bed and sighed softly, "Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother, when will you change your bad habits? Why don't you treat the thing under you badly no matter where you are?"

"Brother..." Prince Su burst into tears: "He hit me, he hit the face of our royal family, brother. You have to make the decision for me..."

"I'll make the decision for you. Just wait and see. You don't even know who he is, and you dare to stop him from buying his female companion?"

"Who could he be? No matter how powerful he is, aren't those who can come here today all our dogs?"

Hearing this, the prince raised his head and sighed, "You are right, but you have to judge the situation. That's Xia Daosheng. He has been doing all the dirty work of the royal family in recent years. Do you have to force him to do that?"

"I don't care who it is, big brother, you have to help me make the decision."

The prince shook his head, not knowing what to say to him, so he could only stand up and said helplessly: "You should stay in the house and recover from your injuries. This incident is just a lesson for you."

However, after the prince left, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful. With Xia Daosheng's vision and wisdom, it was impossible for him not to know that this man was a royal relative. But even if he knew it, he still had to take such a heavy hand.

As the saying goes, when you beat a dog, you still have to look at its owner. At the moment, it seems that Xia Daosheng probably doesn't take the royal family seriously. Or, as his own staff said, Xia Daosheng's loyalty is only to his father, and he looks down on himself.
