Chapter 310 Who Dares to Speak of the Princess Consort of Jin
The ministers' words were like a sharp sword, piercing Qiu Ziyue's heart.
Her face turned pale instantly, and a wave of bitterness and anger surged in her heart.
In the past, Qiu Ziyue would have immediately stood up and confronted people, or even beaten up those ministers.
However, with Qi Yuxuan and the others still in Li Cunxu's hands, she cannot act rashly.
People around them turned to look, and the atmosphere became unusually tense.
Upon hearing these words, Li Cunxu noticed Qiu Ziyue's unusual behavior, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"You stay here and don't move, I'll handle it," Li Cunxu patted Qiu Ziyue's hand.
Then he quickly walked up to the three ministers who had spoken, his voice cold and deep:
"My beloved ministers, what were you saying just now? You seem quite pleased."
The three ministers felt a sense of oppression and hurriedly said:
"No...nothing much. We just said we were really happy today. Princess Jin is talented and beautiful, truly the best candidate to be Princess Jin!"
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Yes, yes, yes."
"How dare they slander the Princess Consort of Jin like this! It is absolutely intolerable!"
Li Cunxu's gaze was piercing, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.
Everyone was shocked. The hall suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"Swish, swish, swish, puff, puff, puff"
Li Cunxu suddenly drew his sword, the blade flashing repeatedly, and blood splattered on the spot.
The three gossiping ministers collapsed instantly, and everyone held their breath, watching in disbelief.
Li Cunxu, sword in hand, surveyed his surroundings and said sternly:
"Princess Jin is only my princess. No one is allowed to speak ill of Princess Jin in the future. Did everyone hear that? If I hear it, they will suffer the same fate as them."
The ministers unanimously agreed, fearing that they might further anger the powerful Prince of Jin.
With the turmoil temporarily subsided, the banquet continued.
Looking at Li Cunxu's agile figure, Qiu Ziyue couldn't help but feel a complex mix of emotions.
She knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead might be, she had to face it with strength, for herself and for those around her.
Upon seeing this scene, Madam Cao exclaimed:
"My lords, it is not that my son is bloodthirsty and cruel, but these ministers have only themselves to blame."
From now on, no one should speak ill of my daughter-in-law, Ziyue. If I hear it, this old woman will not let it go easily.
The ministers turned pale and fell silent, thinking to themselves, "Good heavens, this Princess Consort of Jin is no ordinary woman. The Prince of Jin is so fond of her, and even her future mother-in-law is treated with great care."
I won't dare to provoke them again, nor can I afford to offend them.
General Zhou Dewei, who had seen countless bloody battles, said:
"General Qiu is a lucky star in Hedong. She has devoted herself to this land, yet there are still people spreading nonsense."
Even I, an old man, can't stand it. If anyone speaks ill of Princess Jin again, I, Zhou Dewei, will not let them get away with it.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall fell silent.
He thought to himself, "My God, the Prince of Jin and Lady Cao are already quite remarkable."
Now Zhou Dewei has appeared; this Princess Jin is just too arrogant.
Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Madam Cao raised her wine cup and said:
"Come, let's find a good princess for my son and raise a glass to celebrate the peace and prosperity of our Hedong Kingdom."
"Let's raise a glass to celebrate the peace and prosperity of our Hedong region."
In the imperial court, a single call to action garnered unanimous support and resounded with pride!
After the banquet, Madam Cao looked at Li Cunxu with satisfaction:
“My child, you have done well. I believe the ministers will also approve of your choice.”
Li Cunxu nodded:
"Thank you for your understanding and support, Mother. I will cherish this relationship and work with Ziyue to contribute everything to the future of Jinjun."
Night fell over the Prince of Jin's residence, and guards and maids bustled about outside the brightly lit main hall.
Surrounded by the crowd, Li Cunxu and Qiu Ziyue returned to Li Cunxu's room.
To maintain a semblance of harmony, the two pretended to be very affectionate, holding hands and whispering to each other.
Upon entering, Li Cunxu greeted everyone with a smile and asked with concern:
"Twilight Sparkle, are you tired? Go and rest. I feel so sorry for you."
However, Qiu Ziyue's mood did not improve because of these gentle words.
She looked at Li Cunxu coldly, her tone tinged with impatience:
"When will you release Yu Xuan and the others?"
Li Cunxu's smile froze instantly, and his face turned gloomy.
He frowned and said in a low voice:
"How can you still not forget Qi Yuxuan? You're about to marry me."
"You're talking nonsense! You bastard!"
Qiu Ziyue could no longer contain her anger, and her voice suddenly rose.
"Yu Xuan and I have been married for so long, and we even have children together. How could I possibly forget him?"
Her eyes were slightly red, and her fists were clenched.
Li Cunxu was enraged by Qiu Ziyue's words and felt a surge of anger.
He originally thought that time could heal all wounds, but Qiu Ziyue's deep affection for Qi Yuxuan remained unchanged.
In a moment of impulse, he reached out to grab Qiu Ziyue's wrist, but she abruptly shook him off.
"Don't touch me!"
Qiu Ziyue roared and suddenly threw a punch at Li Cunxu.
Li Cunxu dodged the attack, but both of them had completely lost control of their emotions.
The room instantly descended into chaos, with furniture being overturned and the sounds of shattering porcelain echoing throughout.
The two wrestled in the cramped space, as if trying to vent all the pent-up resentment in their hearts.
Although Qiu Ziyue was petite, she was agile and showed no weakness thanks to her past martial arts training.
The servants outside, hearing the commotion coming from inside, rushed around the doorway in a panic.
"Quickly report to the Grand Madam that Prince Jin and Princess Jin are fighting inside the house!"
A head guard hurriedly gave the order, and everyone nodded and ran off to report.
The fight inside the room continued. Li Cunxu tried to control the situation, but Qiu Ziyue's resistance made it increasingly difficult for him to cope.
Their breathing became rapid, and their clothes were soaked with sweat.
Finally, Li Cunxu grabbed Qiu Ziyue's wrist, but Qiu Ziyue broke free and pinned Li Cunxu against the wall.
Li Cunxu gasped, "What do you want from me to let go of the past?"
Qiu Ziyue's eyes were filled with stubbornness and determination: "Don't even think about it, I will never let go of the past."
Looking at Qiu Ziyue's tear-streaked face, Li Cunxu gave up resisting and slumped against the wall.
He knew he might be a little too hasty.
The footsteps outside gradually approached, and the Dowager Lady and a group of servants hurried over.
When they pushed open the door and saw the scene before them, they couldn't help but gasp.
Qiu Ziyue and Li Cunxu stood amidst the chaos, staring at each other, the air thick with tension and silence.
The Dowager Lady slowly entered the room, her serious gaze sweeping over the two of them:
What are you doing?
Qiu Ziyue gently pulled away from Li Cunxu's hand, straightened her disheveled clothes, and remained silent.
Li Cunxu, however, said:
“Mother, we haven’t practiced martial arts in a long time. We’d like to have a friendly spar. It seems your daughter-in-law is better than me.”
"You little brat, how dare you bully my daughter-in-law! She's not even married into the family yet, and you've already laid a hand on her. I've really spoiled you for nothing."
The old lady grabbed Li Cunxu's ear and said.
"No, Mom, don't be so biased. Don't you want your child anymore now that you have a daughter-in-law? Look how Ziyue is bullying me."
Li Cunxu exposed his arm, which was covered in bruises.
"Serves you right, you brat. I'll teach you a lesson for not listening to me in the future."
Madam Cao put Li Cunxu down, then took Qiu Ziyue's hand and said:
"Ziyue, does your hand hurt from hitting me? It breaks my heart. If this boy ever bullies you again, tell me and I'll teach him a lesson."
"Mother, you can't do this! You've got a daughter-in-law and you don't want me anymore! Heavens, is there any justice left?"
Li Cunxu said with a mournful face.
