"Second Imperial Uncle, she is the Imperial Nephew's guest!"
Seeing the situation, Chu Minghao panicked and quickly came to stop them.
This Second Imperial Uncle was straightforward, no, he was too crude.
His life was dedicated to the battlefield; he didn't just disrespect his father, but might not even give the Emperor face.
In short, he was upright and incorruptible, didn't understand social niceties, and couldn't be deceptive. He did things based solely on his own preferences.
If he didn't want to do something, he wouldn't even if the Emperor personally invited him.
Such a person, when spoken of kindly, was straightforward and cheerful. When spoken of unkindly, he simply didn't know how to adapt.
Dealing with this Iron Cap Second Imperial Uncle, Chu Minghao was also very troubled.
He could only plaster a smile on his face, look up at the two people on horseback, and say gently, "Second Imperial Uncle, Miss Chu is also Father's guest. At least, let her stay at Prince Yu's manor for a couple of days..."
"Little girl, are you going to Prince Yu's manor or to my manor as a guest?" Chu Lingyang turned his head and looked at Chu Qianli, who was sitting behind him.
Chu Qianli pouted, resentfully saying, "This brat often bullies me. I'll go to Prince Ling's manor."
"This brat bullies you?"
Chu Lingyang's face suddenly darkened.
Chu Minghao inwardly felt something was amiss and was about to explain.
Unexpectedly, Chu Lingyang suddenly waved his hand, and with a crack, the horsewhip struck him.
"You brat, you dare bully even my guest? If there's a next time, I'll skin you alive!"
"Giddy up!"
With a command, the horse neighed and immediately galloped towards the city gate.
They left so quickly that in an instant, they were out of sight.
They had entered the city.
Chu Minghao gritted his teeth in pain, so angry that smoke was about to billow from his head!
But he didn't dare to stop them!
His father had repeatedly warned him that this Second Imperial Uncle was a madman and that he should never provoke him unless absolutely necessary!
But he was provoking Chu Minghao!
Chu Minghao was so angry his eyes turned red.
Gui Tong quickly approached, "Young Master, what do we do now?"
Seeing that, the girl named Fu Ning also finished packing and left.
"Should we stop her?" he asked.
"She's just a mere maidservant, what's the use of stopping her? If I report this to Second Imperial Uncle later, who knows when that whip of his will come down again!"
Chu Minghao was still furious.
But he was still helpless against Chu Lingyang.
As a young master, he was shown no respect, and was whipped in front of so many people.
In his entire life, apart from his father and that short-lived legitimate heir, no one had ever dared to be so disrespectful to him.
Gui Tong was also at a loss regarding Prince Ling.
He was impervious to both soft and hard tactics, a truly remarkable existence.
For so many years, he had not formed factions or joined any power groups, fighting entirely alone.
However, his military achievements were brilliant, and the Emperor favored him greatly.
Most importantly, Prince Ling had no ambition for power. Every day, he was engrossed in studying military strategies, waiting for the day he would once again be sent to the border to defend the country.
Gui Tong even felt that if this prince could no longer fight, he might voluntarily retire and return home.
He probably wouldn't even care about imperial power or nobility.
To live life with such enlightenment might not be a bad thing.
However, most people in this world couldn't achieve it.
"Young Master, Prince He is still here," Gui Tong reminded him.
Chu Minghao turned his head and indeed saw Feng Qihe looking thoughtfully towards the city gate entrance.
Chu Minghao's thoughts turned, and a smile finally appeared in his eyes as he slowly walked towards Feng Qihe.
