Chapter 179 The Tragic Fate of the Eldest Princess
Qin Xingyuan immediately rushed to the window, opened it, and shouted, "Who goes there!"
Then I saw my three younger brothers standing outside.
Qin Xingyuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately felt a surge of anger.
These three lads were eavesdropping on him!
Outrageous!
What did you hear?
Did you all hear him kneeling down to apologize to his wife just now?
That would be so embarrassing!
The three people outside the window were so shocked that their hair stood on end. Seeing the fire in their eldest brother's eyes, Qin Xiaoyan and Qin Rufeng instinctively ran away.
After all, the eldest brother is like a father, and the scene of his elder brother punishing them before is still vivid in his mind.
Qin Yunzhu gritted her teeth and didn't run away.
The eldest brother has already seen them, what's the point of running?
Someone always has to take the blame; he's the older brother, so he'll take the fall.
A moment later, the eldest brother came out from inside the door and walked angrily to Qin Yunzhu.
"Yunzhu, it's one thing for those two to be young and ignorant, but I thought you were mature enough to understand. How could you be fooling around with them like that!"
Qin Yunzhu lowered his eyes and knelt on the cold bluestone ground: "I know I was wrong, please punish me."
Qin Xingyuan didn't know what to say. This kid always acted so cool when he was being asked to be punished.
Qin Rufeng and Qin Xiaoyan had already run far away, but seeing that Qin Yunzhu hadn't run away, they reluctantly went back.
We can't let Fourth Brother be punished alone!
The two returned to their elder brother and knelt down.
Qin Xiaoyan said, "Big brother, it's my fault. I was the one who peeked first. Please don't punish fourth and fifth brothers."
Qin Yunzhu said calmly, "I failed to manage my brothers well, so punish me instead."
Qin Rufeng blushed and said, "Big brother, please punish me, not fourth brother and sixth brother."
Qin Xingyuan almost laughed in anger; at this moment, they were of one mind.
"None of you three can escape. You'll all be forced to kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment, and you won't be able to get up until breakfast tomorrow!"
"Yes." The three of them replied listlessly.
"Also, you are not allowed to tell anyone what you saw today!" Qin Xingyuan said.
"Yes." The three said in unison.
Actually, even if their older brother hadn't told them, they wouldn't have told anyone.
After all, he was their older brother, and even older brothers have pride.
Although their elder brother would punish them, he was still their good elder brother.
The three of them sheepishly went to the ancestral hall and knelt as punishment.
When Qin Yezhong heard that Qin Xingyuan had punished his younger brothers by making them kneel in the ancestral hall, he wondered what had happened. He went to ask Qin Xingyuan, who only said that they had been eavesdropping.
He went to the ancestral hall to ask his three sons, who said that they had just squatted down and hadn't heard anything when they were discovered.
Qin Yezhong knew things weren't that simple, but the children were all grown up and had their own secrets.
They didn't say anything, and they didn't ask either.
Qin Yezhong intended for Qin Xingyuan to keep an eye on his younger siblings, thus establishing his authority as the eldest brother at home. Qin Yezhong never rejected any disciplinary decisions made by Qin Xingyuan.
-----------------
The following day, Qin Wanying went to Tianji Garden in the morning, had lunch at the Marquis's residence, and returned to the Crown Prince's residence in the afternoon.
The Crown Prince returned in the afternoon.
Fei Yu sighed deeply.
Previously, the Crown Prince would return home very late, and often even stay overnight in the palace. But since Miss Qin arrived, he has been rushing home.
After what has happened these past few days, Fei Yu's opinion of Qin Wan Ying has changed significantly.
He had previously misjudged people, mistaking his enemy for his benefactor.
He still foolishly believed that Ye Zhihui was the most suitable woman for His Highness.
Now, he thinks Miss Qin is very nice.
After being hit, he didn't dare to speak loudly when he saw Qin Wanying.
The Crown Prince went to see Qin Wanying as soon as he returned.
Qin Wanying was also very happy to see the Crown Prince arrive.
But after glancing at the Crown Prince for a few more seconds, he frowned.
He could see some things about the eldest princess through the crown prince, after all, the eldest princess was the crown prince's aunt and treated him well.
The matter concerning the eldest princess is about to unfold.
The Crown Prince observed Qin Wanying discreetly. Seeing her slightly serious expression, he knew that what she said was probably not good news.
He knew his aunt was going to the South China Sea to pay respects to the deceased. Could it be that something went wrong on her way there?
In the book, Princess Chang was on her way to the South China Sea to pay respects to her daughter, but she was kidnapped there and taken by sea to Dongyuan as a hostage.
The crown prince's expression hardened.
Will my aunt be kidnapped to Dongyuan?
These Dongyuan people have some nerve!
Wait a minute, the princess is always well-protected when she travels, how could she possibly be kidnapped?
[Actually, this was Xiao Dongqian's conspiracy; Xiao Dongqian had long been in cahoots with Dong Yuan.]
The crown prince showed no change in expression, but secretly clenched his fists.
This War King is utterly inhuman! He actually colluded with the enemy state of Dongyuan to kidnap my Great Yao Princess!
After the eldest princess was abducted to Dongyuan, Dongyuan launched an attack on Dayao. Taking advantage of the chaos, Xiao Dongqian rebelled and, after succeeding, ceded several eastern cities to Dongyuan.
If Qin Wanying hadn't been there, the Crown Prince would have punched her in the knees.
Xiao Dongqian, that traitor! He actually colluded with Dongyuan to harm my Great Yao!
Although this had been suspected for some time, hearing Qin Wanying's thoughts now completely confirmed his suspicions.
He is utterly unworthy to be a prince of Emperor Yao, and unworthy to guard the borders of Emperor Yao!
Dongyuan had assumed that with the Eldest Princess in his grasp and the Emperor and the Eldest Princess sharing a deep sibling bond, the battle would be hampered at every turn. However, he hadn't expected the Emperor to completely disregard the Eldest Princess and fight her with exceptional ferocity.
Indeed, what do personal family ties matter compared to the fate of the nation and the world?
To avoid becoming a burden on Emperor Yao, the eldest princess committed suicide.
After the death of the eldest princess, the king of Dongyuan was furious. He stripped her naked and hung her body outside the city gate, letting wild dogs gnaw on it, as a way to humiliate Emperor Yao.
The prince's hands had begun to tremble slightly.
His aunt had always been very good to him, how could she have ended up like this!
Those despicable Dongyuan people, those despicable War Kings!
How dare they lay a hand on his aunt!
[The fact that the eldest princess could be successfully kidnapped means there must be a traitor within the organization. I just don't know who that traitor is. Perhaps we can find out by going to see the eldest princess.]
Actually, Qin Wanying wasn't sure about this matter either, and wasn't sure if she would be able to see it.
She hadn't figured out who the mole was when she met the eldest princess before.
Because this matter involves the male protagonist, you may not see it.
However, after so much time has passed, and I've stolen quite a few of the male lead's girlfriends, his protagonist aura should have weakened, so maybe we'll see him again?
Even if it weren't obvious, preventing the princess from going to the South China Sea would have prevented this incident from happening.
Qin Wanying told the Crown Prince everything about the matter, including the fact that the War King and Dongyuan were colluding.
When Qin Wanying first met the Crown Prince, she dared not say anything. Now that she has become familiar with him, she dares to tell him many things, even those without evidence.
The Crown Prince listened to Qin Wanying's description again and acted angry once more.
"Xiao Dongqian, that traitor, actually colluded with Dongyuan!"
"His aunt is such a good person, and she's his aunt too, how could he do such a thing!"
......
The two of them then entered the palace together.
The Princess's residence was built inside the palace.
