In the back garden of the Duke's Mansion, there are many rockeries and blooming wintersweets.

In the small courtyard at the end of the garden, the door was closed and steam could be faintly heard coming out from inside.

Xiao Qingyuan led his men all the way here. He looked at the bloodstains on the ground that spread all the way to the house, and kicked the door open with a gloomy face.

Suddenly there were screams coming from inside.

A large amount of water mist was pouring out from inside, and there were figures gathering inside. As soon as Xiao Qingyuan rushed in, he saw a figure in disheveled clothes jumping out of the bathtub and leaving in a hurry through the back door.

"Gu Qianhan! Stop right there!"

It would have been better if he didn't shout, because as soon as he shouted, the figure ran even faster.

Xiao Qingyuan originally wanted to chase after him, but a surprised voice coming from the bathtub stopped him in his tracks.

"Prince, you came to save me! I knew you wouldn't abandon me!"

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned: "Hua Yi? Why are you taking a bath? Are you not hurt?"

Huayi shrank into the water and quickly shook her head: "I am not injured, but my clothes were taken away by them. Please help me find some clothes to wear, my lord."

Xiao Qingyuan was about to step forward, but was stopped by several maids and nannies in the room.

He kicked the person away angrily, walked to the bathtub, took off his clothes, and wrapped Huayi in it.

The moment Hua Yi emerged from the water, he saw red marks all over her body, but they didn't look like they were caused by being beaten. Rather, they looked like...

Xiao Qingyuan thought of the figure that had just escaped, and he was furious: "Gu Qianhan, this shameless guy! I must kill him!"

Huayi said quickly: "Don't be impulsive, my lord. I was brought here by the Second Master Gu. I just soaked in this pool for a long time. There is nothing else!"

Xiao Qingyuan had a gloomy face and said nothing more. This was not the place to talk.

He grabbed Huayi's wrist and took her straight to Gu Qianhan's yard.

But before he reached his yard, Xiao Qingyuan met Gu Qianhan, who was covered in moisture, halfway.

"Gu Qianhan! Why are you running?!"

Gu Qianhan paused. He looked at Xiao Qingyuan coming with two needles on his head and asked sarcastically, "Xiao Qingyuan, what are you wearing? With whiskers on your head? Are you imitating a praying mantis?"

Only then did Xiao Qingyuan remember that there was a silver needle stuck in his head!

Damn it, not a single one of the ten guards on the way here warned him!

He pulled out the two silver needles violently, threw them on the ground, and ordered the guards: "Come on! Don't hold back. If you kill Gu Qianhan today, it's mine!"

However, the guards did not move.

Gu Qianhan sneered: "Xiao Qingyuan, is this really your guard? Why doesn't anyone listen to you?"

Xiao Qingyuan's face looked very ugly. He was about to scold the guards, but he saw a group of Gu Qianhan's guards suddenly rushing out from all around. After a rough count, there were more than thirty of them!

His expression became even uglier now: "Shameless! Gu Qianhan, you want to win by numbers, this is a mean act!"

There was a cold light in Gu Qianhan's eyes. He rubbed his wrist and couldn't wait to beat Xiao Qingyuan up.

He waved his hands at his men: "Bring back the woman next to Xiao Qingyuan!"

The guards did not hesitate and immediately rushed forward to grab the person, which was in sharp contrast to the group of guards standing beside Xiao Qingyuan as stakes.

Xiao Qingyuan was protecting Hua Yi tightly, but suddenly, he was hit hard on the back of his head.

When he looked back, he saw that it was Gu Qianhan who was attacking him!

Xiao Qingyuan was furious: "Gu Qianhan, don't you even have any shame?! You are obviously better at martial arts than me, but you still want to launch a sneak attack? You..."

Before he could finish his words, he was punched in the face again.

This time he was completely furious and no longer cared about the idea of ​​painting. He started fighting with Gu Qianhan like a madman.

The guards on both sides also fought each other, but they didn't really fight at all, because the people from Prince Ning's Mansion were obviously not putting in any effort and had no intention of really fighting, they were just pretending.

Gu Qianhan's guards are not fools, so they naturally won't fight to the death.

The order they received was just to grab the painting ideas.

The noise here was so loud that it alarmed Mrs. Gu, and even Gu Qianning, who was recuperating in the house, ran out to see what was happening.

Madam Gu looked at her son in disbelief as he pinned Xiao Qingyuan to the ground and beat him. She hurriedly shouted, "Qianhan, stop it! Stop it!"

When Gu Qianhan heard his mother's voice, he stopped and stood up, but Xiao Qingyuan was lying on the ground, unable to stand up due to the pain.

Gu Qianhan glanced at him and saw that he looked miserable and kept wailing. He felt that he had finally gotten rid of some of the anger in his heart and felt much better.

He straightened his clothes and said calmly, "Why is mother here? It's cold, go back! Ah Ning, help mother back, don't let her get cold."

Gu Qianning didn't say anything. She looked at her brother in shock and suspicion, suspecting that he wanted to beat Xiao Qingyuan to death on purpose so that he could marry his prince consort!

Madam Gu's expression was indescribable: "You've made such a fuss, how can I not come over? Quickly help Xiao Shizi up and call a doctor for him!"

She knew that her son was always cold and arrogant, looking down on everyone, but she never expected that her son would dare to beat the Ning Wang's son and the Queen Mother's grandson until he was covered in wounds!

Prince Ning is easier to talk to, but if the Queen Mother knew that her precious grandson was beaten like this, she would definitely ask the Emperor to call Gu Qianhan into the palace to be punished!

She was shocked, angry and worried, but Gu Qianhan didn't take it seriously at all.

A faint smile even appeared on his usually cold face: "No need to call the imperial physician, the prince and I were just playing around, he won't die. Look, he's fine!"

As Gu Qianhan said this, he kicked Xiao Qingyuan, causing him to scream in pain.

Mrs. Gu didn't know what was wrong with her son. He had been acting abnormally in the past few months. She was afraid that something might happen to Xiao Qingyuan in the Gu family, so she quickly ordered someone to call the imperial physician, then stepped forward and personally helped Xiao Qingyuan up.

"My Lord, I'm sorry for making you feel wronged! Qianhan's temperament has changed drastically recently, and I can't control him anymore. Perhaps he was too embarrassed by the previous marriage that didn't go through, so he beat you so unceremoniously."

Xiao Qingyuan almost vomited blood. So, because Gu Qianhan's marriage with the Liu family failed, she would take revenge on him for the rest of his life? !

Madam Gu sighed, "You grew up together, and you know Qianhan's personality. He has never valued women. Now he has repeatedly snatched your concubines and maids. I think he did it on purpose to irritate you."

"Your Highness, please don't be fooled by him. Don't bother with him. Next time you have any problems, just come to me directly. I will definitely solve it for you properly. I will never be biased towards him."

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not disciplining my son. I will definitely teach him a lesson later!"

"Come, Prince, please come this way. The imperial physician will be here soon. Let the imperial physician take a good look at you."
