Chapter 167 I Want to Kill You
“Before my innocence can be proved, I will stop attending the morning court and stay in my mansion.”
Xia Hourui picked up the phoenix token on the table and played it casually in his hand.
“You said that Kun’er found the evidence of your collusion with Xia Housheng. Why didn’t he enter the palace and report to me immediately?”
“When I returned to Jin Mansion, Second Brother had already left.”
Xia Hourui snorted. He was apparently dissatisfied that Xia Houkun didn’t enter the palace immediately.
Xia Houmo raised his eyebrows slightly. “Perhaps Second Brother is afraid of disturbing your rest.”
Xia Hourui put the phoenix token back on the table and looked at Xia Houmo with his dim eyes. “I’ll investigate this matter. Rest a.s.sured. If you are really wronged, I will definitely prove your innocence.”
Xia Hourui acquiesced in what Xia Houmo said just now.
“Thank you, father.”
“For the time being, as you said, you just stay in the mansion these days. As for your job, I’ll find someone to do it for you.”
“I see.” Xia Houmo lowered his eyes and responded.
“I have one more request, father. I hope you can permit it.”
Xia Hourui raised his eyebrows. “What’s the matter?”
“Second Brother has arrested all the people in my mansion. Now Jin Mansion is empty. As long as I am in the mansion, I’ll never let any of them leave the mansion. Father, please allow them to go back to the mansion.”
Who was the most important person in Jin Mansion?
Of course, it was Xia Houmo standing in front of him. As for those who were arrested, they were just a group of insignificant servants.
“Well, take them back and watch them.”
“Thank you, father.”
“It’s getting late. You should go back.”
Xia Houmo bowed and turned away.
After Xia Houmo left, Xia Hourui sat on the couch motionlessly for a long time.
Standing beside him, Eunuch Yi tried to say something several times but failed for lack of courage. He had heard the whole conversation between Xia Houmo and Xia Hourui just now.
When Eunuch Yi felt his legs a little numb, Xia Hourui moved finally.
Xia Hourui held his head with his hands and looked at the phoenix token on the table. “Eunuch Yi, what do you think of Mo’er’s words?”
Hearing this, Eunuch Yi suddenly felt very nervous and upset. He was most afraid of being asked about his opinion by the Emperor after hearing something he shouldn’t have heard. After careful consideration, Eunuch Yi replied, “The King of Jin also wants to prove his innocence to you, Your Majesty.”
After all, it was not a trivial matter to collude with Xia Housheng. It was a capital crime.
Hearing this, Xia Hourui fell into silence. The phoenix token was so hard to get. Wasn’t he greedy for it at all?
Xia Hourui leaned on the cushion, closed his eyes, and gently tucked the quilt over his body.
If Xia Hourui had died after being poisoned, he probably wouldn’t have thought too much and would only select one from a few sons to be the next Emperor.
But since his condition worsened like this after being detoxified, he had been feeling suspicious and upset… Everyone seemed to have the intent to kill him and seize his power.
Xia Hourui opened his eyes suddenly. “They want me to go to the imperial mausoleum as early as possible, but I will not have their wish fulfilled.”
…
Having made such big trouble for Xia Houmo, Xia Houkun was in quite a good mood.
“Your Royal Highness, you are back.”
After reaching the Second Prince’s mansion, Xia Houkun dismounted from the horse and threw the reins to the imperial bodyguards outside the gate.
“Yes.”
Xia Houkun was about to go to the study, but he walked into the backyard on the way.
In the backyard of Xia Houkun, there were quite a few beauties. As soon as Xia Houkun stepped into his mansion, a message was sent to the backyard.
At this time, there had been plenty of women waiting at the gate of the inner courtyard.
“Concubine Su, slow down. His Royal Highness will definitely come to see you if he comes to the backyard.”
Su Jingwen lifted her long purple dress and walked quickly, for fear that Xia Houkun would be taken away by those little b.i.t.c.hes!
The maid following behind her was also helpless. Although Su Jingwen was a concubine, she was granted to marry Second Prince by the Emperor. However, she was not reserved at all, just like other inferior concubines!
As soon as Su Jingwen walked to the gate of the inner courtyard, she saw Xia Houkun surrounded by numerous women and widened her eyes angrily.
“Your Royal Highness, you are back.”
Su Jingwen stepped forward, pushed the women away, and came to Xia Houkun.
Su Jingwen had been married to Xia Houkun for quite a long time, but Xia Houkun seldom visited her. Even if he went to her courtyard sometimes, he was very rude to her. And it was so painful that she would often burst into tears. However, in order to get pregnant as early as possible, she gritted her teeth to bear the pain. In spite of this, Xia Houkun didn’t like to go to her place.
Xia Houkun would usually choose a concubine he liked at this time.
But now, as soon as Xia Houkun looked at Su Jingwen, he thought of Su Muge’s face and burst into anger in his heart.
He reached out to pull Su Jingwen directly into his arms and walked towards her yard.
Su Jingwen revealed a flicker of surprise and joy on her face. She glanced proudly at those concubines who were full of jealousy and leaned gently in Xia Houkun’s arms.
However, thinking about what she had to experience in a moment, she was scared. Xia Houkun was so rough and violent that her private parts were seriously hurt and bleeding. After that, she couldn’t get out of bed for several days.
She took out something from her sleeve quietly and quickly and swallowed it down.
As soon as they entered the room, Xia Houkun drove everyone out, leaving him and Su Jingwen alone.
“Your Royal Highness, are you hungry… I’ll go… Ah!”
Before Su Jingwen could finish speaking, Xia Houkun held her up and threw her on the bed.
With a bang, Su Jingwen hit the bed board so hard that she screamed out.
Before she could react, Xia Houkun pressed her under his body and tore off her dress mercilessly.
“Your Royal Highness, don’t worry. I, I can take off…”
Seeing that Xia Houkun was impatient, Su Jingwen was panicked and helped him take off her dress.
Xia Houkun looked at her frightened eyes and became inexplicably joyful.
He rapidly took off his pants, reached out to grab Su Jingwen’s hair, pulled her up from the bed, and pressed her head to his crotch…
“Ah… uh!”
Xia Houkun, immersed in his s.a.d.i.s.tic pleasure, was ignorant of the approaching danger.
The guard guarding the door for Second Prince yawned. Since the head of the mansion had been back, they were not afraid of being caught for being lazy.
“I’m too sleepy. I’m going to take a nap.”
“Don’t be too long, I’m also very sleepy.”
“Okay.”
Another guard reached out and rubbed his face to keep himself awake. Unexpectedly, as soon as he put down his hand, he saw a tall figure standing in front of him.
“Where is Xia Houkun?”
“Who, who… who are you?” The guard was so frightened by his coldness that he couldn’t speak clearly.
Xia Houmo’s black eyes pierced into his body like cold arrows. “Again, where is Xia Houkun?”
…
Now, n.o.body else in the capital could be so cold and powerful except the King of Jin!
“In, in the mansion, I, I’ll go to report…”
In the next moment, Xia Houmo had shaken the gate open.
The guard was so terrified that he fell to the ground in horror.
Xia Houkun was occupying Su Jingwen.
Although he was rough and violent, Su Jingwen, who had taken the medicine secretly, could gradually feel the kind of pleasure she rarely had.
She clung tightly to Xia Houkun like an octopus, moaning coquettishly.
When Xia Houmo arrived at the courtyard and shook the door open, Xia Houkun was doing the final impact.
The door was suddenly knocked open, which shocked both of them on the bed. And Xia Houkun ended his move directly.
With a stiffened body, Xia Houkun was stunned to see Xia Houmo standing in the room.
Immediately, he took up the clothes beside him quickly.
“Ah! Ah!”
Only then did Su Jingwen come back to her sense. She was shocked to see Xia Houmo and immediately pulled the quilt over to wrap her body, but Xia Houmo didn’t even notice her with his split vision.
“Xia Houmo, you presumptuous traitor! How dare you break into my mansion in the middle of the night!”
On the way Xia Houmo walked through the Second Prince’s mansion, no one dared to stop him. After all, it was not known to all that Xia Houkun had searched for a.s.sa.s.sins in Jin Mansion.
Step by step, Xia Houmo walked to Xia Houkun like a lion targeting at his prey.
Seeing Xia Houmo with great anger, Xia Houkun unconsciously clenched his hands. But thinking that there were so many guards in his mansion, he did not believe that Xia Houmo dared to do anything to him!
“Xia Houmo, you… Ouch!”
Before Xia Houkun could finish his words, Xia Houmo had already held his neck in his hands.
Xia Houkun rounded his eyes, gathered strength in his fist, and quickly punched towards Xia Houmo.
Xia Houmo released his hand, and Xia Houkun quickly flew to the yard to escape.
Of course, Xia Houmo would not allow him to escape!
Xia Houmo flew out after Xia Houkun and punched towards him.
Xia Houkun was shocked, dodged aside urgently, and hit the rockery on the side.
“Xia Houmo, what the h.e.l.l do you want to do?!” In terms of martial arts, he was definitely not Xia Houmo’s opponent.
Xia Houmo looked at him coldly with his dark eyes.
“I want to kill you!”
“You!”
“Come on! An a.s.sa.s.sin is going to kill His Royal Highness…” Su Jingwen screamed out after she hurriedly dressed up and rushed out.
There were few guards in the backyard which was almost full of women. After Su Jingwen shouted out, few guards could hear her and rush over.
s.h.i.t! Xia Houkun could only concentrate on Xia Houmo.
But he was no match for Xia Houmo’s at all. After several rounds, he had been overwhelmed by Xia Houmo. Xia Houkun was thrown to the ground heavily, spat out some blood, rolled his eyes, and pa.s.sed out.
“Ah! Your Royal Highness! Come on! There is an a.s.sa.s.sin!” Su Jingwen was terrified, but she dared not to approach Xia Houkun.
Xia Houmo glanced at Xia Houkun on the ground coldly and flew away.
