The scumbag wanted to wipe out the whole family, but rebirth ruined him!

Zhao Huayin pulled her hand out with disgust and quickly wiped it with a handkerchief.

It was as if I had touched something foul.

Dianxue hurried forward to protect Zhao Huayin behind her. Liuyun pointed at Zhou Pei's nose and cursed him unceremoniously.

"Where did this rude lunatic come from? How dare you offend my young lady! Get out of here right now!"

Zhou Pei didn't hear Liuyun's voice at all, and saw the servants from Prince Xuan's mansion approaching from behind.

He took two more steps forward and wanted to grab Zhao Huayin's hand.

Zhao Huayin quickly took a few steps back and unknowingly found herself behind Yan Qi.

After standing still for a while, Zhao Huayin raised the corners of his eyes coldly, his dark eyes as calm as water, staring at Zhou Pei without a trace of emotion.

"I don't know you, so I'm afraid I can't testify on your behalf."

Zhao Huayin’s cold voice sounded.

Yan Qi did not ignore Zhao Huayin's hand holding the handkerchief, which was now clenched tightly.

Zhao Huayin must have lied. Not only did she know this man, she even hated him.

Yan Qi took action and held a sword across Zhou Pei's eyes, blocking his way.

"roll!"

Yan Qi’s words are concise and to the point.

Zhou Pei seemed to have just noticed Yan Qi standing next to Zhao Huayin at this moment. Looking at the sword in front of him, he did not dare to move forward.

"Yinyin, how can you say you don't know me? Please save me!"

Why do these two words sound so unpleasant when they come out of this guy's mouth?

Yan Qi's face turned cold and he became even more fierce.

Seeing this, Mu Xiao hurried forward and kicked Zhou Pei away.

The servants who were chasing after Zhou Pei from Prince Xuan's palace arrived just in time and restrained Zhou Pei.

"I've met His Highness the Fourth Prince!"

The palace's steward saluted Yan Qi.

Yan Qi nodded slightly.

"What happened in your house? What's the matter with this person?"

Yan Qi glanced at Zhou Pei who was pinned to the ground and asked.

“Reporting to His Majesty the Fourth Prince, the work this person displayed at the poetry meeting was plagiarized from others, and it happened to be pointed out by the students of Hanzhang Academy.

Unexpectedly, this person went berserk and injured several students from Hanzhang Academy."

"I didn't! I wrote all that myself! I didn't plagiarize anyone else!"

Zhou Pei, who was pinned to the ground, struggled and shouted this sentence.

"Gag his mouth!"

The housekeeper angrily gave orders to the servant.

The two servants stuffed a ball of cloth into Zhou Pei's mouth with great force.

Zhao Huayin couldn't help sneering in her heart when she saw Zhou Pei struggling on the ground, covered in dirt.

Liuyun and Dianxue saw Zhou Pei’s bloodshot eyes and ferocious face, so they moved Zhao Huayin back to protect him.

The butler then bowed to Yan Qi and said,

"Your Highness, the prince has ordered me to capture this man. I will bring him back to report."

Before Yan Qi could speak, he heard someone say loudly, "It turns out that the fourth brother is here!"

Zhao Huayin looked up and saw a man who looked 30% similar to Yan Qi walking out.

But Yan Qi’s face looked stern, while the visitor’s appearance was much gentler.

I guess this person must be King Xuan.

Zhao Huayin remembered that in his previous life, King Xuan was convicted and imprisoned for embezzling disaster relief funds.

As a prince, he did not care about the lives of the victims and took human lives lightly. Zhao Huayin had no good impression of this man.

Zhao Huayin was just thinking this when she heard Yan Qi say, "Second brother!"

"Something went wrong during the poetry gathering at my house today. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Fourth Brother."

King Xuan said this with a smile. He walked closer and saw Zhao Huayin behind Yan Qi. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Who is this?"

After hearing King Xuan's question, Zhao Huayin finally realized what was going on and bowed to King Xuan.

"Your servant Zhao Huayin pays respect to His Majesty King Xuan!"

"Your last name is Zhao? Which master's mansion are you from?"

"My father is the Minister of Rites."

"So she is Lord Zhao's daughter."

Yan Qi felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw that Yan Mu's eyes were fixed on Zhao Huayin.

The little girl was wearing a soft scarlet moon-shaped skirt today, which made her skin look whiter than snow. Her willow-shaped eyes were so charming that it was hard to look away.

But I just don’t want others to see it.

"I wonder how Second Brother plans to deal with this person?"

Yan Qi asked with a light cough.

King Xuan finally came to his senses and realized that he was indeed a little rude. Hearing this, he said seriously,

"What this person showed at the poetry conference turned out to be plagiarized works from others."

"It wasn't a big deal at first. We could have just thrown him out of the palace. But he actually had a fight with the students from Hanzhang Academy. Several people were killed, including the eldest son of Princess Huayang's mansion."

"Oh?"

Yan Qi gave Zhou Pei a meaningful look.

"Since someone has been injured, why don't you hand him over to me and take him back to the city defense camp for trial."

King Xuan thought about it for a moment and said that the city defense camp was a more frightening place than the Ministry of Justice's prison.

If the person was handed over to Yan Qi and taken back for interrogation, even if nothing could be found out, it would be an explanation to Princess Huayang.

So King Xuan nodded and said,

"Then I'll trouble you, Fourth Brother. Bring the man back for a thorough interrogation and make sure to give an explanation to the students of Hanzhang Academy."

"Don't worry, second brother!"

Yan Qi bowed to King Xuan, turned back and winked at Mu Xiao, who immediately led his men forward to take over Zhou Pei.

Zhou Pei was still struggling hard, his eyes were red with excitement, and his pleading eyes fell on Zhao Huayin.

Zhao Huayin ignored them and bowed to the two people in front of him.

"It's getting late. I still have to go buy some things for my mother, so I'll take my leave now."

Zhao Huayin left by car.

King Xuan looked at Zhao Huayin's back with reluctance.

"I will take my leave now, my brother."

When King Xuan saw Yan Qi's sudden cold expression, he didn't take it seriously and just nodded.

My younger brother has always had a weird temper and is always cold to everyone.

Today is the first time that I have taken the initiative to solve a problem for myself.

When King Xuan saw that everyone had left, he turned around and went back into the palace, still thinking about the stunning beauty he had just seen.

She was just the daughter of the Minister of Rites, and her social status was relatively low. However, if she was just to be a concubine, it was still good enough for her.

Yan Qi mounted his horse and headed towards the city defense camp. Mu Xiao followed him and asked,

"The master has never been close to other princes, so why would he suddenly help King Xuan today? The other princes might get suspicious if they see this."

"It's okay. My mother was deposed for her crimes. I am of humble origin and disliked by my father. The other brothers have never considered me a rival."

When Mu Xiao saw Yan Qi mention his background, his eyes dimmed and he didn't dare to speak again.

"Didn't you find out what kind of relationship this man had with Miss Zhao? I'm bringing him back to you now, and you can interrogate him slowly."

When Mu Xiao heard this, he instantly became excited.

If this person is handed over to me, there is nothing I can't figure out.

If I don't even have this ability, I'd rather not be the adjutant of the city defense battalion.

"Master, rest assured, I will investigate this matter thoroughly!"
