The Main Hall of the Prince Xian's Mansion
When Qi Rong sauntered into the main hall, Yun Sheng, who had already been on tenterhooks, was now extremely impatient. Seeing Qi Rong enter the door, he immediately stood up angrily from his chair.
"Prince Xian! Where is my daughter, Yun Xi? Call my daughter here too!"
Yun Sheng looked behind Qi Rong. Seeing that his daughter was not there, he immediately demanded angrily.
If it hadn't been for the guards stopping him just now, he would have gone to look for his daughter in the Prince Xian's Mansion himself!
Qi Rong glanced at Yun Sheng, whose face was pale and seemed to be seriously injured. He raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't answer Yun Sheng's question. Instead, he said to the servant at the door,
"Why not serve the prime minister a cup of tea? It wouldn't be good if people criticized our hospitality in the Prince Xian's Mansion."
Qi Rong casually pointed at the empty table in front of Yun Sheng's seat, then sat down on the main seat in the hall and leaned back lazily.
"Yes, Your Highness."
The servant replied immediately, but there was a hint of confusion on his face.
He had prepared the tea just now, but on the way, he was stopped by Guard Zhan Feng, who deliberately told him to treat the guest coldly to make the other party give up.
However, he didn't dare to hesitate at all when it came to his master's words. He immediately took the order and went to prepare the tea.
After the servant left, Qi Rong seemed to suddenly remember Yun Sheng's question.
"What did the prime minister just say?"
Qi Rong asked while raising his hand to smooth the wet hair on his forehead. His nonchalant appearance made Yun Sheng even angrier.
"Where is my daughter, Yun Xi? Call her here. I have something to say clearly to you two here!"
Although his daughter used to go to the prime minister's mansion every day during the day, she deliberately concealed the fact that she became Qi Rong's concubine to save him!
He didn't need to guess to know that his daughter must have been coerced by Qi Rong.
Especially after he learned from his son that his daughter was about to marry his favorite student, Shi Qian, but Qi Rong had intervened on their wedding day. He felt both regret and anger!
It was all his fault that he hadn't protected his daughter well while he was in prison, which made her suffer such humiliation!
So, today, even if he had to risk his life, he must make his daughter break off the relationship with Qi Rong and take his daughter back to the prime minister's mansion!
Facing Yun Sheng's anger, Qi Rong looked calm. He took the tea handed by the servant, took a sip, and said with a slight curl of his lips,
"You mean my wife! She is taking a bath now. When she heard that the prime minister had come, I left the bathroom first to see you."
When he said the word "wife", Qi Rong's tone was full of doting, and his face was smiling.
At the same time, Qi Rong didn't forget to point at his hair that had been wet by Yun Xi before, deliberately arousing ambiguous imagination in the other person.
"What, you!"
Yun Sheng's face froze. Thinking that Qi Rong had been taking a bath with his daughter just now, he was so angry that he almost couldn't catch his breath.
His fingers trembled as he pointed at Qi Rong. His eyes were blazing with anger, wishing he could burn the other person to ashes immediately!
Satisfied with Yun Sheng's current expression, Qi Rong seemed to be worried that the other person wasn't angry enough. He continued to add fuel to the fire seriously,
"You know, we are husband and wife. It's only natural for us to take a bath together."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Rong winked at Yun Qi, who was already blushing. The young boy lowered his head even more embarrassedly.
Learning that his daughter and Qi Rong now had a relationship was like a bolt from the blue to Yun Sheng!
However, thinking of his daughter's current situation, he gritted his teeth and got straight to the point,
"Prince Xian, what on earth do you want to let my daughter go?!"
The purpose of his coming here was to help his daughter get out of the Prince Xian's Mansion. As long as Qi Rong was willing to put forward conditions, even if he had to gamble everything, he must take his daughter home!
However, Qi Rong seemed not interested in Yun Sheng's negotiation at all.
"What do you mean, Prime Minister? Yun Xi is my wife. Her destination is the Prince Xian's Mansion, by my side."
Qi Rong put down the teacup and looked at Yun Sheng's solemn face lazily.
"I've given her the whole Prince Xian's Mansion to play with. What do you mean by letting her go or not? I've never restricted her freedom."
Just as Yun Xi and he had agreed before, whether it was doing business and inspecting shops or going back to the prime minister's mansion, he had never stopped her.
Except that she had to return to the mansion at night.
Hearing Qi Rong's meaning, Yun Sheng's face became even more gloomy. He couldn't help but snorted coldly,
"Prince Xian, you can deceive Xi'er with such high-sounding words. Do you think I'll be deceived by you too?"
He would never believe that a person who made his daughter his concubine could really treat his daughter well and give her a happy life!
"Yun Xi is simple-minded. Maybe she doesn't know what a scheming person you are!"
"If she knew that I was imprisoned because of you! Do you think how Yun Xi will look at you? How could she be willing to stay by your side?!"
Qi Rong might be able to deceive those people in the court, but he couldn't deceive Yun Sheng.
When they were in the capital, he had noticed that Qi Rong was not simple. He was definitely not what others saw.
He was domineering in dealing with things. People thought he relied on the emperor's trust, but in fact, it was not the case.
Over the past few years, Qi Rong had secretly cultivated a huge force. His ability could not be underestimated!
"Are you threatening me?"
Qi Rong frowned. The coldness in his eyes flashed when he stared at Yun Sheng.
He knew that he couldn't hide this matter from Yun Sheng. Yun Xi might have guessed something, but she wasn't sure, so she could stay by his side so calmly.
If Yun Sheng told Yun Xi about this clearly, she would definitely try every means to leave him.
This was absolutely unacceptable to him!
"You should know that I can send you to the imperial prison once, and I can send you there a second time!"
Qi Rong narrowed his cold eyes slightly. His tone was extremely arrogant, and Yun Sheng didn't doubt his ability at all.
However, Yun Sheng would not just let others manipulate him!
Yun Sheng slowly stood up. He looked down at Qi Rong coldly and called him by his name,
"Qi Rong, if you don't want others to know, don't do it. I admit that your means are really strong, but what you did in Longchang was not flawless."
Seeing Qi Rong's expression change slightly, Yun Sheng suddenly snorted coldly. Then he told Yun Qi and Xiao Anzi to go out and wait.
"What do you know?"
Hearing the implicit threat from Yun Sheng, Qi Rong's handsome face was as cold as frost.
The matter in Longchang involved the biggest secret of the royal family and the foundation of the ancestors for hundreds of years. Even the traitor Qi Rong didn't know about it.
If it was known by others, it would surely shake the foundation of the Liu Kingdom. Even if that person was Prime Minister Yun Sheng, he would have to consider silencing him!
Not ignoring the killing intent that flashed in Qi Rong's eyes, Yun Sheng was calm. He showed a cold smile and said,
"I know everything you're worried about, but I'm not afraid of you killing me."
"Because once I die, that secret will be immediately exposed, and you won't get what you want!"
