C965 965 Great Punishment

"You can't even protect yourself anymore, how can you be worried about the reputation of others?"

Yan Yuan looked at Qi Feng, who was kneeling in front of him, and raised his eyebrows. "This king doesn't know, but this king's personal guard, has actually set his sights on this king's future secondary wife."

Qi Feng and Xia Tao Hua's expressions became even uglier.

Qi Feng looked up at Yan Yuan, "Your highness, as you see it, this lowly one definitely does not have that kind of thought."

"No?"

Yan Yuan raised his brows, "If you don't have that intention, then she will seduce you?"

"Your Highness!"

Qi Feng looked at Yan Yuan and wanted to explain urgently, but Yan Yuan refused to listen. He turned and looked at the pale-faced Xia Tao Hua, and said: "For this side to let this king marry you, and this side to seduce this king's guards, Peach Blossom Princess is truly doing all kinds of calculations, and not only do you not want to use this king, you even want to use this king's guardians?"

However, Xia Tao Hua was not in a hurry to explain, when Yan Yuan insisted on what she had with Qi Feng, she knew, there were too many explanations, Yan Yuan did not want to hear them, so he said: "Your Highness, the Qi guards are people close to you, his character, don't you understand? Why would you two, master and servant, hurt each other because of an outsider like Peach Blossom? "

"This King naturally knows This King's person, so This King naturally knows that it was you who seduced him, causing him to be unable to tell who was his true master!"

Every word that Yan Yuan said struck the heart. Xia Tao Hua did not explain, nor did he have any way to explain himself.

"Your Highness, this lowly subordinate and Peach Blossom Princess are not what you think. Please enlighten me."

Qi Feng could only say this, he did not know how to explain it. Furthermore, he did have some thoughts about the Peach Blossom Princess in his heart, and he should not have any complaints if the Prince wanted to punish him.

But he did not wish to affect Xia Tao Hua's good name because of him.

As a woman, it was already not easy for her to be alone in Easternum. If there were to be rumors that were to be spread against her, it would be a disaster for her.

Yan Yuan did not pay attention to Qi Feng. Instead, he looked at Xia Tao Hua and said: "Since Qi Feng is willing to go against this king for your sake, then this king wants to see to what extent you can do it for him."

With that, he looked into the depths of his eyes and shouted towards the outside of the courtyard, "Men!"

The guards of the Duke Palaces rushed in from outside, and were stunned when they saw Xia Tao Hua and Qi Feng kneeling on the ground.

How did the Qi guards offend the prince?

"Drag him away and beat him to death!"

The guards were all shocked as they looked at Yan Yuan in disbelief. After following the king for so many years, what could possibly provoke the king to order his death?

Looking at Xia Tao Hua who was kneeling on the ground, the expressions of all the guards changed. Could it be that between the Qi guards and the Peach Blossom Princess s …

"Your highness, the Qi guards are loyal and devoted to you, I hope that Your highness can be merciful."

One of the guards knelt down in front of Yan Yuan to plead on his behalf, and following that, the other guards also knelt down, "Please have mercy Your Highness."

"Pull it down."

Yan Yuan's face was filled with determination, "Whoever dares to plead will be punished."

Hearing this, the guards didn't dare to say anything else.

Qi Feng also did not expect that Yan Yuan would order him to be executed. He looked at Yan Yuan in shock, and after a while, he lowered his eyes and said, "This lowly subordinate pays his respects to the Prince."

When he heard that Yan Yuan wanted to beat him to death, he was slightly unable to maintain his calm expression.

"Pull it down."

Qi Feng stood up and was brought out by the guards. He heard Xia Tao Hua's slightly trembling voice sound out, "Wait."

Xia Tao Hua looked at Yan Yuan and gritted his teeth. After a while, he said: "Peach Blossom must be able to cure the wangfei, she doesn't want anything. I only beg Duke Qi to spare my life to protect her."

"You don't want anything?"

Yan Yuan laughed as if he had heard a joke, "Your brother, your mother, you don't even want them anymore?"

Xia Tao Hua's heart tensed up, his face turned even paler, "These peach blossoms are naturally necessary, but there's no reason to implicate an innocent person."

The innocent person that she spoke of was naturally Qi Feng.

"For Qi Feng, you don't even want your mother and brother, and you still dare to talk about being innocent with this king."

He squinted his eyes and said to the guard, "Put him in jail first."

He squatted and looked at Xia Tao Hua, "Whether Qi Feng is good or not depends on your ability."

"Princess …"

Qi Feng knew what Xia Tao Hua's parents and brothers meant to her, if it was because of him …

He was definitely not at ease, but Xia Tao Hua did not look at him, and said: "guard Qi, you and I have never met, there is no reason for Peach Blossom to implicate you, please leave."

She got up from in front of Yan Yuan and said: "Your Highness, please go back. When Princess Hua-Yang wakes up, send someone to notify Peach Blossom."

After he finished speaking, he did not look at anyone else and turned around to enter the house.

Yan Yuan was satisfied, the corners of his lips lifted up imperceptibly as he turned his head to look at Qi Feng who was still being supported by the guards, and walked to the front of him, laughing until he did not know what was going on.

"Good boy."

After uttering those three words, he left Qi Feng's line of sight. Even Qi Feng who thought that he knew a little more about this master did not understand what Yan Yuan meant by "three words".

From his tone, it didn't seem like he was angry, but rather … Praise him?

No, it's more like … Joking him?

Qi Feng was still at a loss for words for a while, but he did not panic at all. Instead, he was somewhat puzzled by Yan Yuan's actions.

As for the few guards who came to capture Qi Feng and bring him to the Prince's Mansion's dungeon, they were also in a bit of a dilemma.

However, this was an order from the Prince, how could they dare to disobey? They could only say to Qi Feng: "Sorry, the guards."

Qi Feng, on the other hand, did not say much and only nodded his head as he was brought to the dungeon by the guards.

Very quickly, the news about the Qi guards of the manor had spread. It was unknown what they had done wrong, but they were all imprisoned by the prince.

One had to know that the Qi guards were the trusted followers of the prince, and the king had never punished them like this before.

Could it be that the Qi guards had offended the Peach Blossom Princess?

Because Qi Feng was brought out from the courtyard where he lived, many people had this conjecture.

Everyone was clear that even though the princess had returned, the engagement between the duke and Peach Blossom Princess had not been cancelled, and the Peach Blossom Princess was very likely to be the future secondary wife.

In short, all sorts of guesses were made in the Prince's Mansion, but no one was able to guess the relationship between the guard and Peach Blossom Princess. The guard was loyal and devoted to the Prince, how could he have such thoughts?

As for the few guards who knew about it, from start to finish, they did not reveal even half a word about the reason Qi Feng had been put in prison by Yan Yuan, so no one knew about it.

"What?" You threw Qi Feng into jail? "

After Liu Ruo Qing woke up, he heard about this matter. He looked at Yan Yuan in shock, "What did Qi Feng do wrong?"
