I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"The Northern Barbarian army is strong and well-equipped; how could the First Prince possibly win?"

"That's right, that's right! The First Prince will absolutely not return to the capital!"

"Your Highness, Consort Hui, you must be mistaken..."

After the initial shock, the ministers thought it over carefully and then spoke up.

In their minds, the eldest prince should have returned to the capital as a corpse, carried back to the capital.

How could the eldest prince return to the capital perfectly fine and then want to kill the third prince?

That's absolutely impossible!

"What do you mean, impossible!"

Consort Hui, abandoning her usual gentle and virtuous demeanor, abruptly waved her long sleeves and shouted hoarsely, "You bunch of senile old fools! Don't you want to go outside and check! Yu'er's life hangs by a thread, and you still have time to guess here!"

This sight terrified not only the ministers but also Emperor Xuan.

Where did Consort Hui, who was usually gentle, virtuous, sensible, and considerate, go? How did she turn into a shrew?

However, they quickly figured it out.

A mother will give everything for her child.

It was Qin Yu who turned Consort Hui into this.

Could it be that the eldest prince has really returned?

The ministers looked at Emperor Xuan and asked what to do.

Emperor Xuan thought for a moment, then immediately waved his hand, "Han Zhen, you personally lead the Imperial Guards there!"

"yes!"

……

The rain grew heavier and heavier, a violent storm raged, and even the sky turned terrifyingly dark.

Tianxiang Tower had its doors and windows tightly shut, but behind them were pairs of eyes constantly watching what was happening outside.

Qin Yu's screams and pleas for mercy kept reaching their ears, horrifying them.

"Wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

Qin Li asked the question knowingly; he had no intention of letting Qin Yu go. Now was the time to torment him.

He's only been away from the capital for a few days, and some people already don't remember him!

Perfect opportunity! Let's take this chance to let the people of Beijing get to know him properly once again!

"I was wrong…"

Qin Yu's face was filled with terror. "Big brother, I shouldn't have touched your people. I was just confused for a moment, I was out of my mind. I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"I apologize to my elder brother, and I apologize to Miss Song!"

After saying that, Qin Yu kowtowed to the two of them frantically, until blood appeared on his forehead.

As long as I can stay alive, what does this little bit of pain matter?

Qin Li looked at Song Qian beside him, "What do you think?"

Song Qian's eyes were cold; she didn't feel any satisfaction.

If everyone were like Qin Yu, making a mistake and then just kowtowing a few times would be enough, what would be the point of laws!

"Your Highness, please grant this humble woman justice!"

"good!"

Click!

Another cut.

With a clean and decisive motion, he severed Qin Yu's left leg, causing him so much pain that he almost fainted.

Song Qian's eyes widened in disbelief. She hadn't expected Qin Li to be so ruthless. Qin Yu was Qin Li's own younger brother.

Qin Li not only cut off Qin Yu's arm, but now he has also cut off his leg.

From now on, Qin Yu is completely finished!

No, it's not useless.

Because it's not certain whether Qin Yu will survive.

The pain was so intense that he was seeing hallucinations. Qin Yu knew that Qin Li would not let him go and was going to kill him.

Dragging his severed arms and legs, Qin Yu tried to crawl away into the distance. He didn't want to die, he didn't want to die.

Qin Li caught up with him in two steps, stepped on his head, and slowly raised the long knife in his hand.

Gritting her teeth, Song Qian finally stepped forward to stop Qin Li. "Your Highness, this man must not be killed!"

"You want to stop me? Don't forget, you almost fell victim to his evil deeds!" Qin Li said, exasperated.

"No! I wish I could kill him with my own hands."

Song Qian said firmly, "But this person is Your Highness's own brother. If word gets out that Your Highness killed your own brother, how will Your Highness face the consequences?"

"I don't want to jeopardize His Highness's future because of my affairs; otherwise, Song Qian's conscience will not be at peace!"

Qin Li laughed. "The people of the First Prince's residence never need to feel guilty!"

"Revenge is the guiding principle of the First Prince's residence!"

After saying that, with a snap, he severed Qin Yu's neck with a single stroke.

Ignoring Song Qian, who was stunned and staring wide-eyed, Qin Li, carrying a knife, went straight to kick the door of Tianxiang Tower.

"Open the door, pour me a bowl of hot tea to warm me up!"

The people inside Tianxianglou quickly stepped back and urged the manager to hurry up and pour hot tea to send out.

After a long while, Song Qian finally came to her senses, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she looked at Qin Li.

On the street, Zhou Biao had already begun directing the collection of bodies and sent the others home first.

"Your Highness, is it worth it?"

Song Qian still asked the question, her brows furrowed in confusion.

Qin Li turned and glanced at her, a mischievous smile on his lips. "Just think of it as this prince's anger rising for the sake of a beauty."

Before I could even taste the tea, the palace staff arrived.

Upon seeing Qin Yu lying on the steps, his body severed from his head and his eyes wide open in death, Han was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.

Too late! We're too late!

"Hey, you guys got here pretty fast!"

"Unfortunately, no matter how fast you are, you can't outrun my blade!"

Qin Li flicked the blood off his knife and teased him.

Han Zhen frowned. "Your Highness, how dare you!"

Qin Li looked at Han Zhen, "What's there to be afraid of? This guy abducted a woman in broad daylight. What's there to be afraid of in killing him?"

"What do I call this behavior? I call it putting righteousness before family!"

"Alright, now that you're here, hurry up and collect the body."

"Quickly carry the body back so that my father, the Emperor, can have a good look at the fine son he has fathered!"

Han Zhen's expression was cold. "Then Your Highness, please accompany me to the palace!"

If he only brings back the Third Prince's body, Emperor Xuan will definitely not let him off the hook.

No matter what, Qin Li must be allowed to enter the palace; Han Zhen doesn't want to face pressure from both Emperor Xuan and Consort Hui.

Qin Li raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. "Haven't seen you for months, Han Zhen, you've grown increasingly bold."

"Can't you see? This prince is soaking wet and just wants to drink some hot tea to warm himself up."

"I'll return to my residence and take a bath before entering the palace!"

At this moment, the tightly closed door of Tianxianglou creaked open, and the old manager brought out a bowl of tea with trembling hands.

Qin Li was about to take the drink when Han Zhen roared, "Your Highness, please come with me to the palace!"

Qin Li has to enter this palace, whether he likes it or not!

Others may fear Qin Li, but he doesn't!

boom!

Smashing the teacup to the ground, Qin Li's face contorted with rage as he said:

"I've already said it, I'll go back to my residence and take a bath before entering the palace!"

"Han Zhen, are you deaf?!"

"Is this an invitation, or an arrest?"

Han Zhen refused to back down an inch. "Your Highness, just consider it an arrest."

Qin Li laughed in anger, spreading his hands, "Fine, that depends on whether Commander Han has the ability."

"A thousand troops, come and witness the brilliance of Commander Han!"

Two burly men, as big as black bears, immediately ran up behind Zhou Biao, rubbing their hands together and eager to fight Han Zhen.

Throughout the journey, Qin Li treated the two brothers well, always granting their requests.

Before leaving, the Empress also told the two brothers that they should listen to Qin Li in everything.

Fighting is what these two brothers love most...

"What's your name again, Han? If I hit you hard, don't cry!"

"Han Zhen, his name is Han Zhen. We two brothers were the gentlest..."
