I Persuade People With Reason

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Your, your highness?

It took a long time for someone to come back to their senses and greet him.

The others gradually reacted and greeted together.

previously, they never thought they would see such a scene.

Among the three people here, the disheveled maidservant doesnt have any standing, but the other two are not insignificant people.

One is the precious only son of the prime minister. Although he is only a prodigal son who hasnt achieved anything, the prime minister standing behind him is the leader of the civil ministers and holds great power. He was spoiled by his father and normally walked sideways in the capital. Even some of the sons of princes who were unfavoured dared not offend him.

The others identity is even more impressive. His father is the emperor, hes the crown prince. Whats more, his highness himself is by no means a mediocre person. He has fought in the war for many years and has great prestige. His position as the crown prince is almost unshakable.

Everyone knows the emperor has great faith in the crown prince. These years, he went north to fight against the Hu and recaptured the Central Plains. 300,000 troops and cavalry were handed over to the crown prince. His majesty never had any doubts. He also reprimanded all the courtiers in the rear who tried to create dissention between father and son.

Prime Minister Su, who accompanied his majesty the entire journey south at the beginning and now that the Central Plains were recaptured. He has worked hard for ten years and is also deeply trusted by his majesty.

Conflict between the two people is not a trivial matter. Maybe everyone will be pulled in.

At this time, looking at Su Mingyou, who was huddled on the ground and no longer as arrogant as in the past, many people were secretly happy. At the same time, they regretted and secretly hated that they came too soon.

This, this

Look at the long sword still dripping blood in the crown princes hand, the lingering murderous intent, combined with the crown princes previous temper Did he really stab the prime ministers son?

This will definitely become a serious issue.

However, people soon found that their concerns were superfluous. Although the prime minister was greatly frightened, he was unharmed.

It was the crown prince who was hurt.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, Its OK. It seems that the crown prince is still measured No, wait. Like hell its okay!

The crown princes body is extremely noble, this is a hundred times more serious than Su Mingyou being injured!

Looking at the bone deep and bleeding wound in the palm of the crown princes left hand, the garden immediately fell into chaos.

Fortunately, the eldest princess arrived in time and took control: Quickly call for a doctor!

No need.

Yuan Buwei refused, he raised his eyes and swept through the crowd.

Almost all the people who were swept by his eyes felt their hearts temble. Under those emotionless eyes, they felt completely unable to refute. They all felt the crown princes majestic aura was three points greater than before.

Even the eldest princess, as a senior felt the same.

They could only watch on helplessly. Instead of swinging his long sword, the tip of the sword pointed to Su Mingyou who was paralyzed on the ground.

Its just a minor injury. Lets solve this matter first.

Tick, tick.

The blade of the sword hung high in the air, cold and biting. The blood that had not dried up was still dripping down the blade, and the pungent smell of blood went straight into Su Mingyous nose.

Suddenly, the cold sweat on his neck was scared out.

From his point of view, it is him, who his highness wants to solve right?

While he was complaining in his heart, the sword tip suddenly drew half an inch forward, and the cold blade approached his face. It almost touched the tip of Su Mingyous nose, which scared him backwards. It was difficult for him to climb up from the ground, before he fell back down.

Su Mingyou shivered.

He looked carefully, but he saw that the cold looking young man looked down condescending and spoke softly.

shall I say it, or will you say it yourself?

No, no, no, no need to bother your highness the crown prince. Su Mingyou replied hurriedly, Ill say it myself.

Countless eyes converged on him.

Su Mingyou opened his mouth.

The shock just now has not passed. At the moment, his brain is blank, his thoughts are in chaos. He shook for a long time, unable to say anything.

Several snickers came from the crowd, and Su Mingyous face turned red. He recognized at a glance that there were several prodigal sons who usually didnt dare offend him, but now they all stood aside and watched his jokes!

Anger surged up, and even panic and fear were pushed down. Su Mingyou glared at those people and remembered them.

Then he suddenly reacted.

no, what am I afraid of? In front of so many people, does the crown prince really dare to kill him?!

Su Mingyous confidence suddenly returned.

Your Highness misunderstood. Its actually very simple.

With enough confidence, the courage that belongs to a dandy returned.

I just slept with a little maidservant. Theres no need to make a fuss.

Im a dignified prime ministers son, what kind of beauty have I not seen? Do I need to force a maidservant? Its clear that this little girl wanted to seduce me. I just went along with the flow!¹

Su Mingyou raised his hand and pointed to the maidservant. He shouted loudly and confidently.

Su Mingyou has done a lot of similar deeds. He has long memorised the speech so it came out as a smooth and familiar response. He didnt say it before due to shock. Now hes woken up, he blurted out a series of sophistry.

He thinks hes not completely lying. Compared with the real chaste martyrs he had seen, the strength of the maidservants struggle was almost the same as pretending to refuse while welcoming.

Then he beautifies it a little. Turning into your love and my compliance.

As for the scene witnessed by the crown prince, its true, but Su Mingyou explained with a smile, Its a common routine for women to play hard to get. The crown prince is inexperienced, so its understandable that he misinterpreted the situation.

Whats more, the crown prince has stayed in the military camp for seven years. Maybe he doesnt like females anymore and..

In the middle of his malicious train of thought, he cast his eyes over and an idea emerged.

Arent you in love with me?

Su Mingyou nodded carelessly: Yes. Shouldnt it be because you love me? Great husband material like this gongzi³ was willing to take her innocence. How could this little girl be unhappy?

What he said is very unreasonable and shameless. Its really not something ordinary people can say.

Yuan Buwei was not angry, he just chuckled.

Arent you in love with me?

These words are so familiar. In the plot, the original body was tricked by these words, right?

Different from Yuan Buwei, the original host killed Su Mingyou uncontrollably on a rampage. When the others came, all they saw was a corpse and a maidservant shaking like a sieve.

The crown prince pulled out his sword to kill people in the eldest princesss house. Its not a trivial matter to kill the only son of the prime minister.

In full view of the public, the maidservant ah Xiu personally admitted that Su Mingyou tried to force her, and the crown prince protected her.

Although killing is extreme, it is to save people after all.

Therefore, the original body was only under house arrest by the emperor for three months as an explanation to others.

However, less than three days after the original body was under house arrest, Prime Minister Su suddenly went to court to sue the crown prince. Tears fell down his old face and made people sympathise.

Ah Xiu also appeared as a witness.

Retracting her previous words, she said that she had been in contact with Su Mingyou for a long time. They were happily in love with each other. The prince is ruthless in nature and his madness broke out, killing all the witnesses to cover up his defect. Afterwards, using the excuse that Su Mingyou wanted to do misdeeds In the princesss house, she also had to lie in order not to be killed by the prince on the spot.

Moreover, even letters, keepsakes and other evidence between Ah Xiu and Su Mingyou were presented.

There is a mountain of irrefutable evidence. Even if the original host is called into the court and objects, it cant be refuted.

At the beginning, he was truly abruptly controlled by violent impulses. When he sobered up, he had killed someone. Later, when he recalled the events of that day, his memory was blurred.

In this way, he didnt know whether what Ah Xiu said was true or false. Even if he knows its false, there is no corresponding evidence.

As soon as this happened, the emperor flew into a rage, deprived the crown prince of his military power and ordered him to go back to his house for reflection and not to leave unless given permission.

On the surface the matter has been solved, but the death of his only son has made Su Cheng deeply hate the original host. In addition, the original host became ill more and more often and his temperament has become more and more violent and manic. Gradually losing the peoples trust In this way, he step by step came towards his end of self Immolation and death.

And this is the beginning of everything.

Arent you in love with me?

Now it seems that these two people are worthy of being a pair of happily in love of the original plot, even their words are the same.

After glancing at them, he turned his eyes to the eldest princess with a gloomy face and spoke faintly:

As the master of this place, what does my eldest aunt think?

What else can she think? The eldest princess doesnt want to be dragged in at all.

This happened in her house, and the other person involved was the maidservant in her house. She was also surrounded by so many people, making her feel ashamed.

At this time, the maidservant was still sobbing and trembling, looking frightened.

She stared at the maidservant coldly and had no choice but to stand out: Ah Xiu, what do you say about this? Is what Mr. Su said true?

Woo I, I

The maidservant who had been holding her arms and shrinking in the corner of the rockery finally raised her head, revealing a tearful but charming face. She was choked and could not speak. Many men present couldnt help but feel pity for her.

Su Mingyou did not care to appreciate the beauty, but gave her a sad look: Why are you hesitating? Talk quickly! I didnt lie!

There was a strong threat in his tone, which made the maidservant tremble like chaff: I what did Mr. Su say

The sound of the sword blade returning to the sheath suddenly sounded, and the sound of metal friction was harsh. Making everyone stand straighter.

When they followed the sound, they saw the calm crown prince take out a snow-white handkerchief from his sleeve and slowly wipe the palm of his hand.

His every move is casual but elegant, with careless indifference at the bottom of his eyes.

Almost as if the person who was full of anger and almost pulled out his sword to kill before was not him.

Ah Xiu raised her head and looked timidly at the crown prince. Finally, she bit her lip and said, Yes, Su gongzi is right. I have long admired Su gongzi. I was bold for a moment, thats why I did something wrong Princess, forgive me! Princess, forgive me! I dare not do it again!

At last, Ah Xiu shivered and knelt on the ground, kowtowing desperately.

Su Mingyou proudly raised his head: Your Highness, you see. Its clearly her own wish.

Yuan Buwei had given her one last chance. If the other party doesnt cherish it, forget it.

He rubbed the handle of the sword with his fingers and said, It seems that I misunderstood. Since you two are happily in love

Su Mingyou subconsciously wanted to refute. She is in love with me, when were we mutually in love? Otherwise, wont there be countless women who are mutually in love with him.

Will the crown prince fly into a rage from shame and have nothing else to say?

However, Su Mingyou didnt want to cause any more trouble. He just wanted to conclude the matter, so he nodded quickly:

Of course its true. Its all true! We are mutually in love and when people are in love. He he Dont you want to do anything when you are excited? Dont worry about this little thing, your highness.

He no longer bothered to pay attention to him, but turned to the eldest princess, saying in a gentle tone: Since they both love each other, and so became impatient, the eldest aunt might as well bless them. Marry the maidservant, give her a dowry, and arrange a matchmaker by the way

His voice was very quiet, but it fell in the ears of the people like thunder.

Let these two people who love each other form a marital relationship as soon as possible.
