Chapter 207 Beating Up Prince Qi

Chapter 207 Brutally Beating Prince Qi

He peered down through the gaps in the roof tiles, and the scene in the room once again made Luo Sinian’s eyes widen.

He saw Ji Yuntang grabbing Luo Feizhou’s hair and slamming his head against the floor, her movements rough and completely unladylike.

“Thump, thump, thump!”

One after another, and from time to time the sound of a woman’s voice could be heard in the room.

“Prince Qi, does it feel good?”

“Hm? Does it feel good?”

“Having fun with this adult roughhousing?”

Luo Sinian’s mouth twitched hard. If he hadn’t witnessed Ji Yuntang beating up Luo Feizhou with his own eyes, just hearing her talk would have made people misunderstand and think they were really doing something unspeakable in the room.

Not long after the floor banging stopped, the sound of banging on wooden boards began, even louder than before.

Luo Sinian watched as Ji Yuntang grabbed Luo Feizhou’s hair again and slammed his head against the wooden door.

The door was already rattling from the blows, yet Ji Yuntang still didn’t let him go.

Luo Sinian suddenly felt that Ji Yuntang had been quite gentle with him before.

At least when he had offended Ji Yuntang in the past, she hadn’t taken out her anger on him like this.

Just hearing those drum-like thuds made Luo Sinian’s head ache.

He wondered if, after all this, Luo Feizhou would end up being knocked silly by Ji Yuntang.

Meanwhile, Luo Feizhou’s lackeys were sitting in the lobby of the inn, drinking and eating meat.

They watched the door shaking violently, all wearing malicious grins.

“Tsk, tsk, our prince is really amazing. He’s almost broken down the door of the best room in the inn. In my opinion, even if Princess Ye doesn’t die, she’ll be half dead. Let’s see if she still won’t obediently listen to our prince in the future.”

“Exactly! Listen, how seductively our prince is moaning. His cries sound so real, anyone would think he’s actually being beaten in there!”

“Man, our prince keeps getting more creative!”

Qing Feng frowned, looking at the door that wouldn’t stop shaking and listening to Luo Feizhou’s cries of pain. He had a bad feeling about this.

But Luo Feizhou always meant what he said; when he was intimate with a woman, he never wanted guards outside his door because he thought eavesdropping would cramp his style.

If they were caught, everyone would be punished—at the very least, they’d lose half a year’s pay, or worse, they’d each receive thirty military lashes.

Thinking of Luo Feizhou’s orders, Qing Feng held back his urge to go and check.

He looked down at the faint ripples in his teacup and sighed softly, hoping he was just being paranoid.

Meanwhile, inside the room,

Luo Feizhou was already covered in blood. His forehead was swollen, two front teeth were missing, his nose was broken, and he lay on the ground barely conscious, a total wreck.

He’d been cursing Ji Yuntang loudly at first, but now he couldn’t even manage that.

Ji Yuntang suddenly looked up and waved to Luo Sinian.

“Prince Chen, have you seen enough? Had your fill? Do you want to come down and kick him a couple of times, punch him a few times to vent your anger?”

“He’s such a disgusting person. He must have done plenty of things to disgust you in the past. Now that I’ve knocked him out, this is the perfect chance for you to blow off steam. Are you sure you don’t want to come down?”

Luo Sinian: “…”

Luo Sinian: “!!!”

His first thought was, had he been discovered?

When had that happened? Why didn’t he know?

Luo Sinian’s mind went blank for a moment. He looked down and met the girl’s dazzling eyes, which were looking up at him with a cheerful smile.

Although her smile was as radiant as a flower, Luo Sinian felt his hair stand on end.

As far as he knew, Ji Yuntang had no internal energy at all, and her fighting moves were clumsy and completely random.

She just did whatever came to mind.

And yet this person with no internal energy whatsoever had been able to detect his presence.

He had been hiding here for so long, and even Luo Feizhou hadn’t noticed him!

Luo Sinian was completely baffled, but Ji Yuntang was right about one thing: Luo Feizhou was truly disgusting, often making him lose his appetite.

He was good at saying one thing to your face and another behind your back, and when caught, he would shift all the blame onto others, making those who didn’t know think that someone else was trying to harm him.

On top of that, he was extremely stingy. Every year during the Zhonghe Festival, envoys from other countries would come to the Dongchen Kingdom for diplomatic relations and tribute offerings. As princes, they were usually assigned by Emperor Jingyang to personally receive these envoys.

When the envoys were not in the palace, they stayed at the capital’s official guesthouse. To win them over and build relationships, Luo Feizhou, under the guise of being the host, would often invite the envoys to taverns for drinking gatherings.

To show off his generosity, when ordering, Luo Feizhou wouldn’t pick what tasted good—only what cost the most.

But every time it was time to pay the bill, he would find excuses to leave temporarily, leaving the situation very awkward.

Luo Jingshen also refused to be the one stuck with the bill.

Every time this happened, it was Luo Sinian who paid out of his own pocket.

He often thought that they were all brothers and should all care about the future of the Dongchen Kingdom, so there was no need to nickel-and-dime over a meal.

But after so many times, Luo Sinian couldn’t bear it anymore.

Even the cheapest meal Luo Feizhou put on for others cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, not to mention his other ways of entertaining them.

Treating people to wine in brothels, going to brothels, watching operas, playing polo… a full day of different activities, never repeating.

He called it “letting others experience the unique customs of the Dongchen Kingdom.”

In the end, he got all the good reputation for being generous and hospitable, while not spending a single penny.

For this reason, Luo Sinian had suffered many losses at Luo Feizhou’s hands.

Thinking back on each of these incidents, Luo Sinian felt sick to his stomach.

Now hearing Ji Yuntang calling him from below, he didn’t hesitate—he tore a hole in the roof and jumped in.

Seeing Luo Feizhou’s miserable state up close, Luo Sinian was still startled and was pretty shook up.

His face was swollen like a pig's head, making his original features unrecognizable.

Even Consort Chu, standing in front of Luo Feizhou, probably wouldn't recognize him as her son.

Luo Sinian gasped and asked timidly, "Third Sister-in-Law, can I really hit Fifth Imperial Brother?"

He had been raised to respect teachers and value the Way, treat brothers with fraternal respect, practice filial piety, loyalty, and faithfulness, and work hard without complaint.

Hitting his own elder brother was too terrifying and too rebellious an act for him. Luo Sinian dared not even think about it.
