The cousin is beautiful but ruthless.

Chapter 102: Being intercepted

Li Huaijiang glanced at him lightly and sneered, "You really think you're someone special? Even my elder sister looks down on you, so I look down on you even less. You think you've climbed up the social ladder and are already thinking all sorts of nonsense. Get out of my sight right now."

Song Hui was stunned. The Li Huaijiang before him was a completely different person from the one who had just been in front of the Empress Dowager.

Li Huaijiang spoke lightly, but Song Hui dared not disobey and quickly left the main hall.

Seeing Song Hui lose his composure and flee in disarray, Li Huaijiang felt even more disgusted. She drank a cup of wine, which startled the palace maid.

"Your Highness, your health is not suitable for drinking alcohol."

Li Huaijiang slammed his wine cup down. "You won't die. Let's go, let's go see a show."

The palace maid was completely bewildered and couldn't understand what Li Huaijiang was saying, so she could only follow her out.

There were still many people inside the main hall. A young maid ran up to Li Jun and knelt down.

"Your Highness, my second young lady requests that you come out for a chat."

Li Jun turned his head. The maid was dressed in the Marquis's mansion's clothes, and Liang Ruoxue was indeed not at her seat. He nodded, got up, and left.

Liang Ruochu looked around and found that apart from the elders, none of the Liang family members her age were there.

Liang Siyu was still in the men's section, while Lin Yun, who was next to Liang Ruochu, kept looking in Liang Siyu's direction.

Xu Ying kept an eye on Lin Yun and kept her by her side.

Seeing Lin Yun staring intently, Xu Ying said a few words to the maid beside her, and soon Qi Jiaying appeared next to Liang Siyu.

Qi Jiaying and Liang Siyu walked out side by side. Lin Yun stood up, and Xu Ying came over: "Child, sit with me for a while. I don't know where Yan'er went. They've all gone out to play."

Pressed down by Xu Ying, Lin Yun pursed her lips. She didn't have much time left. The girls' school in Yucheng had already started construction, and she would be going back in a few months.

She hadn't finished the task her grandmother had entrusted to her, Liang Siyu disliked her, and now Qi Jiaying was also wary of her. It seemed like there was really no way to get close to Liang Siyu anymore.

Everyone has worries.

Li Jun, who had been summoned, asked her maid to lead the way to see Liang Ruoxue.

He knew all the roads in the palace, so he didn't find it strange that the maid was leading him down this particular road.

"What does your daughter want to see me for? She can just come and tell me in person."

The maid explained with a smile, "The young lady is shy, and she's embarrassed because there are so many people in the main hall."

Li Jun nodded. Yes, girls are always shy, and besides, they had just been betrothed, so Liang Ruoxue must have a lot to say to him.

Thinking this, Li Jun's smile deepened. He rubbed his temples, feeling lightheaded.

The figure in front of him became somewhat blurry, and there was no sound behind him. A buzzing sound filled his ears. He stood there, feeling a bit thirsty.

The maid turned around and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Li Jun waved her hand, leaned against a nearby tree, and lowered her head.

I just suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

The maid was about to help Li Jun over when a man suddenly appeared behind her and knocked her unconscious with a karate chop, leaving her to rest.

The muscular man looked at Li Jun, who had lost most of her consciousness, and shook his head slightly.

The maid had taken the medicine beforehand, and her clothes smelled of Wushi San mixed with some aphrodisiac, all to lure Li Jun into a trap.

This Third Prince is truly naive and innocent; he was even framed by such methods.

The man carried Li Jun on his back and went to a side hall.

Liang Ruoyan finally managed to get rid of Granny Song and went to the place she had arranged to wait. In a little while, her maid would bring Li Jun over.

She had already had someone find out the route to the palace beforehand, so there was absolutely no chance of making a mistake.

Liang Ruoyan sat there for a long time without anyone coming over, and she couldn't help but feel anxious.

Instead of Li Jun, they were greeted by Granny Song.

Granny Song pushed open the door. "Miss, what are you doing here?"

Liang Ruoyan's eyes widened, but she quickly composed herself.

"I came here to change my clothes, how did you find my way here, Granny?"

Granny Song seemed to have noticed something, and she went over to pay her respects.

"Young lady, you'd better come back with me quickly, something has happened outside."

Granny Song pulled Liang Ruoyan outside, and Liang Ruoyan looked bewildered.

"What happened?"

Granny Song remained silent, but quickly led Liang Ruoyan away from the place of trouble.

Shen Hanyu, Wei Ming, and Ji Yuxiu were outside when the palace servants rushed to the main hall in a panic.

"What's going on here?"

Wei Ming, full of curiosity, pulled them inside to take a look.

Shen Hanyu already knew what was going to happen; Jin Chui had already come over and told her.

"Let's go take a look."

How should this play continue?

Inside the main hall, the young eunuch had already told the whole story.

Shen Hanyu glanced at the little eunuch. She didn't know whose man he was, but with so many people revealing the prince's scandal, he wouldn't live more than an hour.

Liang Ruoxue heard this as soon as she entered, and her vision went black; she almost fainted.

She and Li Jun had just gotten engaged, and not long after, Li Jun was caught having an affair with one of the concubines in a side hall.

That concubine was given to Li Jun by Princess Yongning when Jiang Li died, in the hope that she could help him relieve his worries. However, Li Jun has not touched her all these years.

The sudden appearance of this concubine caught everyone off guard.

Liang Ruoyan also heard what the eunuch said. Her face turned pale, and she was completely flustered.

Li Jiangui's expression remained unchanged as he put down his chopsticks.

"And there's this."

The courtiers were trembling with fear, all expecting Li Jiangui to be furious, but he remained calm, as if he had just heard something amusing.

Pei Du lowered his head and drank his wine. Li Jiangui glanced at him subtly, his gaze filled with helplessness.

The eunuch knelt, his legs trembling.

Li Jiangui stood up and said, "Then let's go and see what good things my son has done."

Once Li Jiangui left, the others naturally followed suit.

Shen Hanyu stood behind; the situation was slightly different, but largely the same.

Upon reaching the side hall, Li Jun had regained some consciousness. He looked down and saw the person in his arms.

The concubine Zhao Jing'er's eyes were watery and her eye sockets were red.

"Your Highness," she called softly.

Li Jun sat up, still feeling a little dizzy.

"Why are you here?"

Zhao Jing'er, her clothes half-exposed, sniffed, "Your Highness has forgotten, but I mentioned to you that I'd like to attend the Dragon Boat Festival palace banquet."

Li Jun's thoughts were still a bit confused, and she really couldn't remember.

The door was pushed open, and Li Jiangui and Empress Wang walked in, while the others waited outside.

"My son is in high spirits."

Li Jun's face was grim. He pulled the blanket over Zhao Jing'er, put on his outer robe, and got out of bed to kneel.

"Father, I am guilty."

Li Jiangui sat down, and the palace maid beside Empress Wang pulled down the bed curtains, blocking the view.

"Jun'er, what do you plan to do with the person inside? I heard that she was a concubine that Yongning gave to you."

Li Jun understood Li Jiangui's meaning: either kill him, or he would ask Li Jun to stay.
