Dream of the Red Chamber: After being exiled, I went on a killing spree in Liaodong.

"Waaaah...Master, you've taken over my body and now you're abandoning us?"

The four of them cried their hearts out, each one shouting louder than the last.

Chen Yuan and Chen Yi's faces darkened instantly—what kind of nonsense is this! Who took whose body?!

Upon hearing this, the eunuchs who had originally intended to step forward to help immediately withdrew their hands.

What should I do if I'm pregnant?

If something goes wrong with the dragon offspring, not only will they lose their heads, but their entire family will be buried with them!

To save my life, I'd rather pretend to be blind!

"What are you all standing there for! Come and save them!"

The crown prince's eyes widened in fury, and he almost ground his teeth to powder.

Will lending a hand cost me a piece of my flesh?!

"Your Highness...we dare not move!"

An old eunuch said with a bitter face, "If any of the young ladies get pregnant, none of us will be left but ashes!"

"Bullshit!" Chen Yuan trembled with anger. "They weren't brought by me at all!"

Before he could finish speaking, Prince Liang, Chen Yi, suddenly lifted his eyelids and sneered, "What are you yelling about? It's clearly you—he's the Crown Prince, the future emperor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two skinny men who had been clinging to him suddenly froze.

Prince?

The future emperor?!

The two exchanged a glance, then without hesitation released their grip, turned and crawled towards Chen Yuan, grabbing his legs and wailing loudly:

"This servant didn't know it was the Crown Prince—I should have offered myself to serve him long ago!"

"Your Highness is of noble birth, surely you will be incredibly powerful... Waaah, please don't abandon us..."

The room fell silent for a moment, then erupted in chaos.

"Wow... the Crown Prince is that fierce?"

"All four are his? That stamina... amazing!"

All eyes were fixed on Chen Yuan's face, a mixture of shock and awe.

"Chen Yi!! You fucking dared to screw me over!!"

Chen Yuan was furious, his eyes practically spitting fire.

Now he was 100% certain—these four women were most likely arranged by Chen Yi!

King Liang lowered his eyes and remained silent, his lips slightly pursed.

Only he knew how cold the gloom that flashed across his eyes at that moment was.

Chen Yuan, you just wait—the day I ascend the throne will be the day your misfortune begins!

Liang Wang Chen Yi coldly withdrew his gaze, straightened his robes, and strode toward Yingchun and the others.

"You scoundrel! Stay away from our young lady!"

With a sharp shout, the female guard launched a flying kick, clean and swift, sending Liang Wang flying five meters away, where he crashed to the ground with a "bang."

hiss--!!

The onlookers' eyes twitched, and their scalps tingled.

With that kind of force, wouldn't the bones have cracked? Wouldn't the whole body be covered in bruises?

Granny Wu looked down at Chen Yi, who was curled up on the ground, his face dark and his hands tightly clutching his abdomen, and couldn't help but smile.

Cool!

For the first time in my life, I find these female security guards incredibly pleasing to the eye!

"Hahaha! Karma!"

Crown Prince Chen Yuan stood there and laughed out loud, feeling as happy as if he had drunk ten jars of strong liquor.

Weren't you so capable just now? You tricked me? Now you know what karma is!

"Your Highness, Prince Liang! Your Highness!"

The eunuchs rushed over, and when they saw their master sweating profusely and his face contorted in pain, they were instantly enraged and glared at the female guard.

"Who are you? How dare you lay a hand on Prince Liang?!"

"Are you tired of living?"

The sons of the powerful and wealthy around them shook their heads and sighed.

He's handsome, but unfortunately, he's got a screw loose—he hit a prince? He'll be facing confiscation of his property and extermination of his entire family!

"We are female guards of the Prince of Qin's mansion."

The female guard stood tall, her gaze sharp as a knife, not retreating an inch.

The eunuchs fell silent on the spot.

Holy crap... the Qin Prince's Mansion?!

We can't afford to mess with them! We really can't afford to mess with them!!

Since they are from the Prince of Qin's mansion, they are naturally protecting Miss Jia.

In an instant, all the men present fixed their gazes on the group of girls who were surrounded in the center.

The Jia family is now incredibly powerful. Anyone who marries a daughter of the Jia family can rise to the top in one step!

Yingchun and the others felt a chill run down their spines from being stared at, and instinctively huddled together, their fingertips trembling.

If I had known this would happen, I should never have come to this poetry gathering!

I just wanted to get away for a while, but I ended up getting into this mess...

At that very moment—

With a thunderous thud, Wu Sheng led his personal guards and burst through the door, his manner menacing.

"You audacious traitor! How dare you kidnap His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Why aren't you letting go right now? Guards! Seize him!"

His gaze swept over Crown Prince Chen Yuan, who was tightly surrounded by female guards, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

The opportunity is coming!

By saving the Crown Prince from this "danger," this future emperor will surely remember my great kindness!

Just as he was feeling smug—

"The King of Qin has arrived!"

A voice came through the channel, like ice water being poured over one's head.

Wu Sheng stood there, stunned, his face frozen.

Didn't we agree that I would get the credit?!

But when he saw those familiar yet nervous little faces in the crowd, his heart skipped a beat—

So they were here too?!

"Greetings, King of Qin!"

Everyone bowed in unison.

Jia Yi didn't even glance at them, and walked straight towards Yingchun and the others.

"Third Brother!"

Xichun was the first to rush forward and throw herself into Jia Yi's arms.

"Are you alright?"

Jia Yi rubbed her head and slowly glanced at Yingchun and the others.

"Third Brother, we're alright."

"Yes, it's all thanks to our sisters protecting us."

"I was really scared to death..."

The women started talking all at once.

Jia Yi nodded gently, a slight smile playing on his lips: "It's good that you're alright."

The next instant, he turned around abruptly, his gaze sharp as a blade, piercing straight at Crown Prince Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan trembled and almost took a step back.

The corners of Liang Wang's mouth subtly curled up as he lay on the ground.

Rumor has it that Jia Yi is extremely protective of his own, especially his younger sisters.

Just now, I saw Yingchun and the others looking pale with fright... Hehe, this King Qin is probably about to explode!

"Your Highness, you are quite the ladies' man."

Jia Yi spoke with a cold laugh, his voice not loud, but every word was barbed.

"So young, yet you have four women?"

"It's one thing to have a large number of them, but to follow Chen Shiyou's example and abandon his wife and children? Huh?"

He added in his mind: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, your father schemed against my sister, so don't blame me for taking it out on you."

"King Qin, you've misunderstood! It's a real misunderstanding!"

Chen Yuan hurriedly waved his hand, sweat beading on his forehead.

"I don't know them! Not a single one! Heaven and earth bear witness!"

If word gets out, how will he ever marry Jia Yingchun?!

"And you?"

Jia Yi turned to the side, his gaze falling on the girls, his tone calm and steady.

"Do not be afraid, I will stand up for you."

This was the first time he had referred to himself as "this king".

Everyone present could see that Jia Yi was truly enraged this time!

Upon seeing this scene, Liang King Chen Yi, who was lying on the ground, suddenly felt that his backache and leg pain had disappeared.

His mouth was stretched into a wide grin as he stared longingly at Crown Prince Chen Yuan, his heart overflowing with joy.

This time, the Crown Prince not only failed to win Jia Yingchun's favor, but also completely offended Prince Qin, Jia Yi.

Whether he can sit securely on that dragon throne in the future is really hard to say.

When the four Yangzhou courtesans who had been separated heard that Jia Yi was a prince and was actually willing to stand up for them and seek justice, their hopes were instantly rekindled.

"Your Highness! We are all His Highness the Crown Prince's women!"

"He promised himself he would marry us!"

"They took our bodies back then, but now they're turning their backs on us..."
