Chapter 288 Do you want to kill my entire family?
As the saying goes, good things always take time.
Just when everyone thought that Hongchang and Ageqi were about to get married, they didn't expect that a Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway - the second daughter of Duolo Baylor actually tried to steal their love!
This girl was really bold. She knew that she would be stopped by the guards around Hongchang if she visited at night, so she found another way and chose to come and disrupt the situation early in the morning.
It was early that morning, just as dawn was breaking, and Hongchang was still asleep when he heard a commotion outside his door. When he woke up, he realized it was the second daughter of the Duolo Baylor mansion who had come uninvited and had come right in front of him just as he was waking.
When Hongchang finished washing up and entered the outer room, he saw the second princess Subuda walking into the outer room of the yurt with her head held high, completely disregarding other people's opinions. She even ordered all the servants in the room to be driven out without any hesitation.
Hong Chang did not agree, nor did he give the other party a good look. He just asked coldly: "I wonder why the Second Princess came here today?"
"Brother Hongchang, I have a secret to tell you about Sister Aqiqi." Subuda blinked his big eyes and said mysteriously.
However, was Hongchang the man to be fooled so easily? Although Ageqi had never mentioned to him any harsh treatment from her stepmother, given Duoluo Beile's long-standing indifference to his eldest legitimate daughter, no one would believe that his stepmother hadn't been behind the scenes fanning the flames and sowing discord.
Besides, the matter between Hongchang and Ageqi was no longer a secret to some people. But at this moment, the second young lady chose to visit at such a critical moment, and kept saying that she wanted to tell Ageqi's secret. Her intentions were obvious to everyone!
Hong Chang said indifferently, "Don't bother Second Lady with so much trouble. I have no interest in Ageqi's secrets. Besides, if I really want to know, I can ask Ageqi herself in the future. There is no need to get information from Second Lady. If Second Lady has nothing else to do, please go back!"
However, facing Hongchang's unyielding attitude, Subuda could not help but feel furious. She thought to herself, remembering her mother's earnest teachings that if she could successfully marry the noble Second Prince, she would surely have countless treasures and endless wealth in the future.
Thinking of this, Subuda gritted her teeth and hardened her heart. She completely ignored the presence of many people around her and rushed straight towards the defenseless Hongchang like an arrow from a bow in front of everyone. At the same time, she reached out and tugged at her sleeve, as if to show something.
At this critical moment, everyone was stunned by the sudden change. No one had expected such a scene to happen. They subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to look even once, fearing that they would get into trouble. Therefore, naturally, no one witnessed Hongchang's flying kick at Subuda the moment he rushed over.
The servants only vaguely felt that only a few breaths had passed, and the Second Princess, who had been so aggressive just now, was now flying back at a speed much faster than when she rushed forward, and finally fell heavily in the corner of the yurt. She sat there in a miserable state, and it took her a long time to recover.
Just as the others were still in shock, Hong Chang blurted out, as if by reflex, "How dare you be so presumptuous! Someone, come and protect me!"
Following this shout, the guards waiting outside the door moved and rushed into the room like a tide. They acted swiftly and well-trained, surrounding Hongchang tightly in the middle, forming an impenetrable human wall.
At the same time, two other guards ran straight to the Second Princess who was lying on the ground, and nervously checked her condition so that they could control the murderer in time.
In an instant, the situation took a dramatic turn. Hongchang's words and actions led everyone present into a completely different train of thought. Originally, everyone thought the Second Princess was simply trying to steal the Prince's love, but now it seemed that the truth was not so simple. Could it be that the Second Princess had ulterior motives, hiding some ambitious plan to kill the Second Prince?
Even more coincidentally, at this moment, a small and exquisite dagger slipped out of Ergege's body and fell not far from her. The dagger gleamed coldly in the sunlight, attracting great attention.
Anyone who saw this situation would be convinced that the Second Lady had clearly made preparations and this was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.
As a result, the servants who had been secretly speculating and lowering their heads suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Now that things had developed to this point and the truth was out in the open, they naturally no longer needed to be so cautious and speculate. Thus, the news quickly reached Doroberel.
After learning about this, Doroberle rushed over. However, when he saw the scene with his own eyes, he was stunned, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
He simply couldn't imagine how his beloved second daughter could become an assassin, and even attempt to kill the supremely noble Second Prince? This was simply a fantasy! His family had always tried their best to cling to the royal family, so how could such a thing happen out of nowhere? Did he not want his head anymore?
Duolo Beile could no longer stand, his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees in front of Hongchang with a plop.
His face was filled with fear and anxiety, his forehead pressed against the ground. He pleaded in a trembling voice, "Second Prince, please be discerning! I'm just an ordinary princess, powerless, how could I be that dangerous assassin? There must be a huge misunderstanding here!"
Hongchang's face was solemn, but deep down he was secretly delighted. He couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself for his quick reaction. Otherwise, the Second Princess would have hugged him tightly like a hungry tiger.
If he was just being hugged, it would be fine, he could just push her away. But what terrified him was that at that moment, he clearly saw the Second Princess deliberately taking off her clothes.
If he really succeeded, and she held him so tightly, he would be in a disheveled, miserable state, and if others exaggerated the story and spread it, wouldn't there be no hope for a happy future between him and his beloved Ageqi? Was his life going to be ruined by this Second Princess?
Thinking of this, Hongchang calmed down and said righteously: "Sir, please don't joke. My servants have seen the whole story clearly.
At that time, everyone witnessed with their own eyes that Second Princess, without a care for her image, rushed straight towards me in front of everyone present. Furthermore, she was carrying that gleaming dagger with her, so it was definitely not someone deliberately framing her.
At this moment, Doroberle hated his ignorant daughter to the extreme, and even had the urge to kill her with his own hands.
Duoluo Beile was completely panicked by this. His mind was devoid of any other thoughts except seeking the Second Prince's forgiveness and understanding. Tears streaming down his face, he pleaded, "Please have mercy, Second Prince! There must be some misunderstanding! If you have any doubts, you can simply interrogate my daughter. I guarantee on my life that my daughter is no assassin, and we, the Khorchin, have absolutely no intention of rebelling against the court or disobeying Your Majesty!"
If it were anything else, it would be fine, but this time, they were unreasonably accused of such a heinous crime as assassinating the prince. The consequences were simply unimaginable. Let alone abandoning a daughter, even if the entire Khorchin tribe had to sacrifice such a crime, they would probably find it difficult to bear such responsibility.
If the Emperor became enraged, his lineage would likely be doomed. In the past, the Khorchin still had some respect with the imperial family, but now, with the passing of the two Empress Dowagers and the growing prosperity of the Qing, the country was incredibly powerful. Exterminating a small tribe like the Khorchin was as easy as taking candy from a sack.
Duoluo Beile looked at Hongchang eagerly, but when he saw that he had no reaction, he became increasingly anxious. He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and banged his head heavily on the ground, each time making blood flow from his forehead.
Seeing this, everyone on the side showed expressions of pity. Finally, Hongchang couldn't bear it anymore and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, stop for now. Regardless of other things, you are Ageqi's father after all. I won't pursue this matter, but I don't want to see Ergege again before I leave the grassland."
Upon hearing these words, Duoluo Beile trembled all over and immediately kowtowed repeatedly, repeatedly assuring, "I wish to guarantee to you, Second Prince, that from now on, I will never allow my daughter the opportunity to appear before you again! Thank you, Second Prince, for your magnanimity and mercy. I am deeply grateful and kowtow in gratitude!"
He was secretly glad in his heart, thinking back to the past, when Aqiqi first came into contact with the second prince, he was lucky that he did not listen to what the concubine said and tried to stop him. Otherwise, with the disaster coming today, his family would probably not be able to escape the doom of being wiped out!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glare fiercely at his little daughter who was still unconscious beside him. Then he hurriedly turned to Hongchang, bowed deeply again, and said with great fear and trepidation: "Second Prince, I will take this ignorant evildoer and leave quickly, so as not to disturb your rest anymore."
Hong Chang nodded slightly and replied sternly, "Well, leave now."
After receiving the order, Duoluo Beile rode back without stopping, throwing Subuda directly to the Mongolian doctors and ordering them to do their utmost to save him. He himself returned to the tent in a rage, and before he could even find his footing, he ran into his wife, who had hurried to greet him.
Duolo Baylor's eyes widened, his face brimming with rage. He raised his right hand and slapped Fu Jin hard across the face, demanding, "Tell me! Were you the one who orchestrated today's events? Do you really intend to watch our entire clan be exterminated?"
