Chapter 137: The Prince is as guilty as the common people
Chapter 137 Princes are subject to the same laws as commoners
"Master, the children are still young and don't understand, please don't take it to heart." Xu Fang pleaded for Dugu Juechen while watching the two leave the mansion.
King Jin's Mansion
Chu Yin sat in a chair, drinking tea, as if waiting for someone.
"Reporting—Prince Jin, General Liu has arrived," a guard ran in and said.
"Let him in." After Chu Yin finished speaking, the guard agreed and ran out.
A moment later, Liu Yancheng walked in, his face slightly angry: "This old minister greets Your Highness Prince Jin."
"General Liu, there's no need for such formalities." Chu Yin already knew the inside story and remained remarkably calm: "May I ask what brings General Liu to my presence?"
"Your Highness, just now, the palace advisor came to my residence and injured my servants and my daughter. My daughter is still coughing up blood. I hope Your Highness can do me justice!" Liu Yancheng got straight to the point.
Chu Yin snorted inwardly. He had already come up with a plan: "Oh, Master Gong was indeed a bit reckless. I hope General Liu will not take offense. I am willing to bear all the losses that Master Gong has caused to your household. As for Miss Liu's injuries, I will send the best pharmacist to treat her until she recovers."
Seeing Chu Yin's cooperation, Liu Yancheng was very satisfied, but how could he easily let Dugu Juechen off the hook? "Prince Jin, this old minister has another request."
"Go ahead and speak," Chu Yin said, hoping he wouldn't go too far.
“Since Master Gong injured my daughter, we can’t let him get away with it.” Liu Yancheng’s meaning was simply to deal with Gong Yunxuan. But how could Chu Yin agree to that? “General Liu, I said I would bear all the losses to your household. What? Do you still want to investigate further?”
"This old minister dares not. A prince is subject to the same laws as a commoner. This old minister simply does not want the person who harmed my daughter to live a carefree life. I would like to trouble Prince Jin to invite Gong Yunxuan out!" Liu Yancheng said in a way that left no room for argument.
Chu Yin's face clearly showed displeasure. He got up and walked to Liu Yancheng's side. Liu Yancheng simply lowered his head slightly, still sticking to his own attitude.
"General Liu, is this really what you want?" Chu Yin asked coldly.
"Yes." Liu Yancheng was not afraid: "Gong Yunxuan is just a clerk. If Your Highness Prince Jin does not hand Gong Yunxuan over to this old minister, I am afraid this old minister will have to ask the Emperor to make the decision for this old minister."
These words truly angered Chu Yin. Chu Yin had done all this to save the Liu family, but he didn't expect Liu Yancheng to be so ungrateful. Since that was the case, then he would ignore it. So Chu Yin snorted coldly: "General Liu, your relentless pursuit will not benefit anyone. You want me to hand over Master Gong, is that it? He is no longer in the manor. If you really want him, then go to the Tianling Sect to ask for him!" With that, he turned and left.
After Chu Yin left, Liu Yancheng felt very puzzled: Heavenly Spirit Sect? Could it be that Chu Yin had already anticipated that he would come to cause trouble for Gong Yunxuan, so he sent him to the Heavenly Spirit Sect?
Back at the Liu residence, Liu Yancheng sat angrily on a stool. Lian Yunlan tried to soothe him, asking, "Master, what happened? Why did you come back alone?"
"Prince Jin is quite generous, willing to bear the consequences for Gong Yunxuan, but unwilling to hand over the person, and even said that he sent him to the Tianling Sect!" Liu Yancheng couldn't swallow this insult.
Lian Yunlan remained relatively calm today. Her eyes darted around, and she came up with an idea: "The Prince of Jin said that sending Master Gong to the Heavenly Spirit Sect is not impossible. Why don't we have Wenhao inquire about it for us?"
